Homixide Gang Are Electric On Their New Single “HI-VOLTAGE”

by

Homixide Gang are back with a new track. The duo has dropped the track “HI-VOLTAGE”, and its one of their most exciting releases to date. The energy of rappers Homixide Meechie and Homixide Beno live up to the title, as they spit over an earworm instrumental produced by UpMadeIt, jstcap and longtime Weeknd collaborator Cxdy.

Homixide Gang is signed to Playboi Carti’s Opium imprint, and their past songs have generally seen take a harder sound that their label boss. On “HI-VOLTAGE”, however, Meechie and Beno trade it the bass hits and synth of a track like “Lifestyle” for a looser sound. The way they flow and the instrumental are much closer in style to what Carti did on 2020’s Whole Lotta Red, and he melodic approach suits the duo.

The sonic qualities of “HI-VOLTAGE” might sound victorious, but the lyrical content is bleak. Meechie and Beno rap about the violence they’ve both witnessed and caused in the streets. The gritty music video for the track ramps up this sense of danger by having the duo recreate scenes from the 2002 gangster film Shottas. The “HI-VOLTAGE” video was shot in the Miami neighborhood of Little Haiti.

Quotable Lyrics:

Told her bring all her friends for the gang
We got the drugs and we smokin’ on pain
Hol’ up, hol’ up, they on the same thing
Codeine in my cup (Codeine in my cup)
Rollin’ that Runtz up inside of my blunt
Gettin’ so high ’til we can’t feel a thing

by

Playboi Carti and The Weeknd are two artists who seem to be good friends. Although they don’t make a ton of music together, they have done so at least on one occasion. For instance, Carti was on “Popular” with Madonna and The Weeknd. This track was part of the The Idol soundtrack. Overall, one could argue that this song was the only memorable part of that show. Regardless, this is a song that some people felt was the true song of the summer of 2023. It did well on radio and was a streaming favorite as well.

Moving forward, The Weeknd is looking towards his next project. The same can be said of Playboi Carti, who has dropped five songs over the past few months. Amidst this rollout, it seems as though Carti has been feeling generous and appreciative of Abel. We know this because according to Kurrco on Twitter, Carti came through with some new chains for The Weeknd and his team. As you can see below, these are some Opium-ified XO chains. The double Os are found in on top and there are some spikes included around the outside.

Playboi Carti Brings Travis Scott Into The Opium-verse With “BACKR00MS”

by

Playboi Carti has been looking to drop new music this year. Overall, it is being speculated that he will be coming through with an album this month. He has dropped four singles so far. Firstly, he came through with “Different Day” which is also known as “UR THE MOON.” Secondly, he came through with “2024” which was an incredible departure from his previous sounds. Subsequently, we got “H00DBYAIR” which is arguably the best of the bunch. Most recently, on Monday night, he dropped “BACKR00MS” with none other than Travis Scott.

This is a track that was being promoted by a plethora of stars. Travis Scott himself, Kanye West, and even Ice Spice came through with their praise for the new track. At 9:30 PM EST last night, the music video for the track debuted, and it was certainly an impressive display. As you can see below, the video has a similar feel and aesthetic to the previous videos. However, this time around, we see Carti delivering a subdued performance that matches up with the production perfectly.

So far, these new tracks are a huge departure from the sonics of Whole Lotta Red. Carti is embracing a new era, and so far, it is getting a lot of praise. With “BACKR00MS,” Carti is putting this new sound through its paces, and it seems to be working. While Travis Scott’s feature can also be described as subdued, he does a good job of staying in Carti’s pocket. Ultimately, it leads to a solid collaboration that helps cement the Opium founder’s new sound.

Let us know what you think of the new track, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates from around the music world. We will always be sure to keep you informed on your favorite artists and their upcoming releases.

And the hoes, they fuckin’ the hoes, big rocks on me, so cold
If you know what I know, hide your ho, big cups, I’m sippin’ flamingo
I was in the spot yesterday with my pops, my grandma still play bingo

Playboi Carti Shows Up To Ken Carson’s Album Listening Party

by

Playboi Carti fans are taking just about anything they can get. The rapper hasn’t released any new material since 2020 when he surprise dropped Whole Lotta Red in December. Fans were expecting some new material later this year when Carti and his entire Opium label announced a tour. But that tour has since been delayed and it seems less and less likely each week that Carti will drop this year. He even had a verse he recorded taken off of the new Offset album after he allegedly refused to clear it.

But in the mean time, one of Carti’s label mates just released a new album that could potentially tide fans over for a bit. Ken Carson just dropped his new album A Great Chaos which contains a trio of Destroy Lonely appearances and a Lil Uzi Vert guest spot. Carti himself doesn’t appear on the project but he did show up at the album’s listening party overnight. In a video shared to Instagram Carti seems to be enjoying himself with fans while they hear the music for the first time. Check out the video below.

Playboi Carti At Ken Carson Listening Party

In the comments, fans mostly discuss how much they’re enjoying the new Ken Carson project. “Ken just dropped da greatest sh*t i ever heard,” one of the top comments reads. “Best album dropped this decade,” someone else agrees. Elsewhere fans are hyping up Carti as starting his own wave with the artists he has signed to his label.

Whenever Playboi Carti does eventually drop fans are expecting his track “Killers” to be included. After a radio debut ultimately fell through earlier this year, the song made its debut during Drake’s recent takeover of OVO radio. Despite already leaking months ago fans are still excited at the prospect of hearing the final version of the track. What do you think of Playboi Carti turning up and sharing videos from Ken Carson’s album listening party in NYC? Let us know in the comment section below.

Playboi Carti Updates Website Hinting At New Music

by

Playboi Carti fans have been waiting a long time for new music. His last studio album Whole Lotta Red dropped back in 2020. The rapper is often quite reclusive and doesn’t often make public announcements. Instead of the conventional methods of rolling out an album, many fans are expecting a surprise. Given that Carti is heading out on tour with his entire Opium label later this year, it stands to reason that he might release some new songs to play.

Now Playboi Carti is once again giving fans reasons to suspect new music is on the way. He made a simple update to his website, but one that has fans’ imaginations spinning. The addition of a “Music” tab on his site led many to believe that it will soon be filled with new material. Earlier this year he appeared on “Popular” alongside The Weeknd and Madonna. The track was released as a part of The Idol HBO series. Check out the changes to Carti’s website below.

Hints about new Playboi Carti music haven’t been hard to come by recently. DJ Scheme released a short video that featured a snippet of new music from the rapper. In the video, he’s doing a “deep voice” on the song which he’s done often recently. That included his performance on Travis Scott’s “FE!N,” from his smash hit new album Utopia. The song itself has been a pretty big hit as well. It debuted at number 5 on the Hot 100 and has stuck around on the chart ever since landing at number 44 this week.

Last month, snippets leaked that featured even more of Carti deploying his deep voice. The song hit the internet through an unknown source but gave fans a taste of what the rapper could be cooking up for his new album. What do you think of Playboi Carti teasing new music with an update to his website? Let us know in the comment section below.

Playboi Carti Thanks Fans For Supporting Opium Artists

by

Playboi Carti fans will be the first to let you know he hasn’t released any new music in a while. His last album Whole Lotta Red dropped back in 2020 and while he’s appeared on a few features since then it’s been mostly quiet. One of the big reasons for that is his focus on the management side of things. Carti has his own label imprint Opium and his two signees Destroy Lonely and Ken Carson have been dropping plenty of music in his absence.

During a recent show, Playboi Carti stopped to thank fans for their support of Opium. In the viral clip, he shouts out Destroy Lonely and Ken Carson by name and thanks the audience for continuing to support the rappers he signs to his label. He starts his speech off by thanking fans for coming to his shows and “waiting on him.” While fans have been waiting for a while Carti’s label artists carrying on his “rage” style must be somewhat of a consolation.

Playboi Carti Thanks His Fans

The primary thing Playboi Carti fans will tell you is that they’re starving for new music. After Lil Uzi teased that collaborations with Carti and Ken Carson could appear on Pink Tape, they were disappointed to find neither showed up in the tracklist. Carti was a part of one pretty substantial release recently. The Weeknd has been releasing new music every week alongside new episodes of his show The Idol. A few weeks ago he teamed up with Carti and pop legend Madonna for a new track called “Popular.” While the track was pretty well-received fans couldn’t help but notice that Carti is only very briefly on the track.

Despite the lack of new releases Playboi Carti fans are still feverishly devoted. He continues to sell out pretty much every show he plays. A few weeks ago at Summer Smash fans got pretty hyped for his set. They were so hyped that they literally chased him around after his set finished. What do you think of Playboi Carti’s message to fans about his Opium artists? Let us know in the comment section below.

Playboi Carti Posts NBA YoungBoy Wearing Opium Chain On IG Story

by

Playboi Carti might have just caused the two most volatile and fervent fanbases in hip-hop today to unite. Moreover, the Opium label head just reposted a picture of NBA YoungBoy wearing an Opium chain, who also took the opportunity to promote his Never Broke Again merch. Furthermore, fans lit Twitter and Instagram ablaze with album rumors, clamors for a collab, and a whole lot of hype. Also, Instagram jewelry accounts and other social media pages bolstered these rumors by specifically reporting news of a joint album and Carti gifting the chain to YB. Further down, you’ll be able to see an embed alleging the collaboration, and it’s important to note that these rumors are still unconfirmed.

Of course, this is one of the most elusive rappers today linking with one of the most prolific. As such, a lot of people remain skeptical of the collab chances of seeing the light of day. Still, even a simple Instagram Story post from Playboi Carti is a lot of info by his standards, as album rumors continue to prop up and then dissipate. The one who might confirm these rumors to greater extent is NBA YoungBoy, who hasn’t said much other than plugging the promoted clothing.

Regardless, the possibility of a team-up between these two is quite exciting and has a lot of potential. After all, YoungBoy tried out more rage-inspired sounds on his 2023 project I Rest My Case. As arguably the figurehead and most important innovator in that genre, the Whole Lotta Red MC could add a lot to the Baton Rouge rapper’s development. On the other hand, we could see them try something completely different, or maybe Carti will enter YB’s lane.

Rumors Swirl Online Of Collab Album

Given his recent track with The Weeknd and Madonna, “Popular,” we know that the “King Vamp” artist is one to consistently surprise the fans. If it actually shapes up to be true, this could be a standout moment for hip-hop in 2023. Whether it happens or not, one thing’s for sure: the fanbases’ online energy is enough to light up a stadium. In any case, stick around on HNHH to stay up to date on all things NBA YoungBoy and Playboi Carti.

Homixide Gang Accused Of Grooming Underage Girls

by

Many fans are accusing Homixide Gang, the duo affiliated with Playboi Carti’s Opium label, of grooming underage girls. Moreover, members Meechie and Beno! both stand implicated in fan discussion on social media. Before getting into their testimonies, this is a very delicate situation to address. While no official accusations or legal action sprouted, many social media users shared their testimonies. Meanwhile, information swirling online mostly comes from people witnessing things at live shows. Also, they spread screenshots of Homixide Meechie’s alleged response to the allegations.

Furthermore, one of the shared screenshots displays an alleged DM exchange between Homixide Beno! and a 17-year-old young woman. “Dang I was trying see you but I think your friend was playing,” he allegedly wrote after asking where she was from. “I saw this somewhere else too bruh,” a user wrote on Reddit. “Mfs will defend them cuz they r associated w Cartier and thats the sad part.” Another testified via Instagram DMs to someone who shared the allegations. “THATS WHAT MY FRIENDS ARE SAYING,” they wrote. “LIKE BENOS BEEN FW UNDERAGED GIRLS THIS AINT THE FIRST TIME IVE SEEN SOME SHIT BY HIM.”

“At the Houston show the guy running the merch stand tried to get my friends to get back stage for homixide gang,” they continued. Moreover, another fan wrote their testimony via Reddit. “I was at the show in Indianapolis last night up front,” they began. “Homixide Osama [another Opium affiliate] and the other dude… took two 15 year old girls backstage, and even tried getting my girlfriend (who’s also 15) to go backstage with them. Obviously she said no, but that’s weird as f**k. The girls were obviously underage as well it’s not like they looked old.”

“Yeah fr,” another wrote in response to accusations. “I told security what happened cause sum felt very off about them going back there with them…” Furthermore, Beno! allegedly responded to the allegations via Instagram. “All y’all N***as want to play these games,” he wrote with a slew of laughing emojis.

Again, his alleged comment (as screenshots can be manipulated) isn’t directly linked to these claims. Still, it’s a lot to consider and evaluate, especially in the murky waters of social media. Overall, these are still rumors and unfounded allegations, but the consensus is concerning. Stay tuned to HNHH for more updates on this story that hopefully set the record straight.
