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.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single, “HI-VOLTAGE,” by Homixide Gang? Is this one of the duo’s strongest tracks, or one of their weakest?

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

Travis Scott And Playboi Carti’s ‘Fe!n’ Video Is Every Rager’s Deepest, Dark, And Dizzying Fantasy

by

Yesterday (March 30), Travis Scott made his long-awaited return to Saturday Night Live.

Although the “KPop” rapper didn’t appear in any of the evening’s sketches, he did treat the audience to two performances of tracks from his latest album, Utopia (“My Eyes” and “Fe!n” featuring Playboi Carti). With all attention on him, he figured it would be the perfect time to share the official visual of the project’s most popular track.

So, over on Scott’s YouTube channel, he shared his Gabriel Moses-directed video for “Fe!n.” The cinematic visual features Scott and Carti in the shadows of a black room as he spirals around the varying parts of himself, making for an exciting watch. Scott’s dramatic rotation and lively response make the video a visual representation of every rager’s deepest dark and dizzying fantasy brought to film.

Scott’s live performance style for the track has received mixed reviews. Rapper-turned-podcaster Joe Budden outright bashed his 2024 Grammys rendition. “Get the f*ck off the stage,” he shouted during an episode of his namesake podcast.

However, supporters have made “Fe!n” Scott’s mandatory repeat track during his live shows. On the Utopia Tour, the Oklahoma crowd made him perform the song ten times.

Watch Travis Scott’s official video for “Fe!n” featuring Playboi Carti above.

Boosie Badazz Reacts To Playboi Carti “Thong” Photo: “You Thought About Getting Inserted”

by

We already know that Boosie Badazz has a disdain for other MCs snitching, but now, he’s having a field day over recent photos of Playboi Carti that went viral. In the images, the Whole Lotta Red artist appears to have either the back of an unbuttoned bodysuit, or a thong, hanging out the back of his pants. The entertainer is obviously free to wear what he wants, but some internet trolls felt uncomfortable after seeing the pictures, including Boosie.

As XXL notes, the garment isn’t women’s underwear at all, but actually appears to be a piece from Rick Owens’ collaboration with Champion, crafted to give the illusion of wearing a thong. While going Live on Instagram, the Louisana native shared his thoughts on Carti’s fashion. “You saw the boy just put a thong on, bro. Playboi Carti,” Boosie began. “He put a thong up his a**, bro. You mean to tell me a man put a thong up his a** and not think about being a female?” the 41-year-old asked in confusion.

A post shared by The Neighborhood Talk (@theneighborhoodtalk)

According to Boosie, the “Magnolia” hitmaker is experiencing jealousy regarding his famous ex, Iggy Azalea and her bodacious bod, which she makes a killing showing off on OnlyFans. “I don’t understand it, bro. He must have been jealous of his baby mama,” Boosie’s rant continued. “Iggy’s a** is beautiful with a thong on. Did you get mad and go into competition? How did you go from looking at Iggy in a thong to putting one on?”

Yet another question that’s weighing heavily on Boosie Badazz’s mind lately is about Diddy, and why none of the Bad Boy mogul’s friends are speaking up for him amid the troubling allegations he’s facing. Read all about that at the link below, and check back in with HNHH later for more music/pop culture news updates.

Travis Scott On “SNL”: La Flame Taps Playboi Carti, Performs “MY EYES,” And Acts In Music Video Skit

by

There was doubt as to whether Travis Scott could make a comeback from his disastrous Astroworld Festival in 2021 or not, but landing a gig as the musical performer on Saturday Night Live is a strong indication that he’s recovering well. Yesterday (March 30), the father of two boldly made his presence felt in New York City, where he brought two popular songs from his latest LP, UTOPIA, to the stage. For his solo appearance, Scott gave us a mellow rendition of “MY EYES,” complete with trippy visuals.

Later, to celebrate the debut of his new music video, La Flame brought out Playboi Carti to perform “FE!N,” which has become a crowd favourite at his live shows. The crowd was pleased to see the “Magnolia” artist in his element alongside Scott, not to mention watching the Houston native let his creativity flow freely after restraining it and laying low for so long. Interestingly, the “SICKO MODE” hitmaker is now requesting that he be removed from any outstanding Astroworld Festival lawsuits, as he wasn’t overseeing the security of the event.

Besides performing, it’s also tradition for SNL musical guests to get in on the acting fun too. Scott happily partook, appearing in a music video skit with host Ramy Youssef that sees them channelling their inner Lonely Island, as Entertainment Weekly points out. Their spoof track, “Please Don’t Destroy – We Got Too High” sees the actors pouring their anxious feelings into the song, even using some of Trav’s signature voice-altering techniques.

The Playboi Carti-Approved Homixide Gang Rob Half Of Miami In Their Frenetic ‘Hi-Voltage’ Video

by

Atlanta has a penchant for spawning attention-grabbing rap duos. However, the Playboi Carti-affiliated Homixide Gang are a far cry from what fans of groups like Outkast and Earthgang may have come to expect. As part of Carti’s bubbling Opium collective, they are a tad bit more traditional than their Goth-inspired brethren like Ken Carson and Destroy Lonely, but their avant-garde take on menacing, take-no-prisoners trap rap leans hard in a different direction from, say, Young Thug, Gunna, or Lil Baby.

The duo’s video for “Hi-Voltage,” their new single, puts that fascinating dichotomy on full display as Beno! and Homixide Meechie post up in the projects to deliver their guttural raps between clips of a violent, crime-ridden narrative. The video depicts them as Omar-like menaces to the ‘hood, pissing off crime lords left-and-right as they rob their way across Miami in a tale reminiscent of City Of God — with the Homixide boys standing in for the film’s villain Li’l Zé.

Homixide Gang was meant to accompany Playboi Carti and the rest of the Opium collective on the Antagonist Tour this year, but the tour was canceled after being postponed multiple times. On the bright side for Homixide Gang, this gives them more time to finish up their upcoming album, i5u5we5.

Watch the “Hi-Voltage” video above.

Camila Cabello & Playboi Carti Drop Controversial Collab “I LUV IT”

by

About four months ago, Playboi Carti and pop star Camila Cabello of Fifth Harmony fame were making headlines. There were photos of the two of them in the studio together, as well as a screenshot of the rapper on FaceTime with the hitmaker. Dating rumors were sparked when the “Magnolia” creator captioned the studio session Instagram story post saying, “baby girl.” Now, we know that they were cooking up a new song “I LUV IT” which is out now.

Cabello is no stranger to linking with hip-hop artists throughout her career. During her Fifth Harmony days, the radio was constantly bumping “Work from Home” with Ty Dolla $ign. “Worth It” with Kid Ink was also another party hit during that era. Of course, when she went solo, Camila put out “Havana” with Young Thug and “My Oh My” with DaBaby.

Most saw those previous crossovers as successful. However, “I LUV IT” is not getting the reaction that Carti and Camila may have not been expecting. People are extremely mixed on it so far with some saying that this ruined Carti’s “generational run.” The deeper delivery makes its return to a fast-paced beat that just does not fit the lighter tone of the song. Additionally, while repetitive choruses can be done right, Camila’s “I love it” refrain just does not come off right. Finally, the Gucci Mane “Lemonade” post-chorus sample is out of place too. However, there are also a good deal of people who are enjoying it. Give it a shot with the video link above.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single, “I LUV IT,” by Camila Cabello and Playboi Carti? Is this one of the oddest collaborations/crossovers of the year, why or why not? Do you see this song performing well, why or why not? Does this get you excited for Camila’s upcoming album? Should these two work together again? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.

Supersonic (Yeah, ooh), in your orbit (Yeah, ah)

Threw it back and he caught it
I go soprano, baby, go down low
And when he leads, I gotta follow (Ooh)

Camila Cabello And Playboi Carti Are On The Run In Their Action-Packed Video For ‘I Luv It’

by

Camila Cabello has kicked off her new era. Today (March 27), the Cuban hitmaker has shared her new single, “I Luv It,” which features the elusive Playboi Carti.

Over a frenetic beat, Cabello finds herself in a state of infatuation, embracing young love. “Super twisted, sick addicted / Kiss me hard, like someday you’ll miss this / In your shower, in your power / Seein’ stars, oh my God,” she sings in one of the song’s verses.

The song also features a prominent sample of Gucci Mane‘s “Lemonade.”

“Certain things in our human realm do make me feel like I’m in outer space, and the very rare few times where I’ve had incredible chemistry with someone is one of them,” said Cabello in a statement. “Part of that cocktail is also the emotional drama between you and that person, and the chaos and butterflies and nerves and passion. It’s unsustainable and not peaceful and exhausting, but also, I LUV IT”

In the song’s accompanying video, Cabello and Carti make a thrilling escape, dodging obstacles like exploding cars, home invasions, and fires. But the two reunite in a Miami bodega, dancing their way through the delusions of love.

You can see the video for “I Luv It” above.

Playboi Carti’s ‘Antagonist’ Tour Was Reportedly Canceled After Multiple Delays

Bad news for Playboi Carti fans hoping to see him and his Opium cohorts Destroy Lonely, Ken Carson and Homixide Gang on tour this year: The Atlanta rapper’s Antagonist tour has reportedly been canceled, according to Complex. Fans were apparently notified via email after multiple delays, however, Complex‘s report does not offer a reason for the cancelation.

The tour would have been Carti’s first since 2021’s King Vamp Tour, as well as his second since releasing his most recent album, 2020’s Whole Lotta Red. While the rapper has made periodic appearances on other artists’ albums, including Kanye West’s Vultures 1, Travis Scott’s Utopia, and Future and Metro Boomin’s We Don’t Trust You, his long-awaited album Music does not have a release date after being promised in January.

Suffering through unexplained postponements has long been a feature of Playboi Carti fandom, as he infamously pushed back Whole Lotta Red so many times, fans like Mario Judah trolled him by releasing their own projects with the same title. He’s been teasing Music since the holidays in 2022, but despite releasing a string of singles including “H00DByAir” and “Backr00ms” with Travis Scott, he’s still yet to drop a release date for the album. Whether his tour cancelation counts as a setback or sign of increased focus remains to be seen.

Future, Metro Boomin, Travis Scott & Playboi Carti Join Forces For “TYPE S**T” Music Video: Watch

by

Everyone’s favorite new banger “TYPE S**T” off of Future and Metro Boomin’s collaborative album WE DON’T TRUST YOU is shaping up to be one of the biggest hits of the year. Moreover, the Travis Scott and Playboi Carti-assisted cut just got a visual treatment courtesy of directors Gunner Stahl and LouieKnows, and it’s a pretty grimy, grounded, and simply effective approach. All four artists flex their wild fits, cash, and luxury cars for the cameras, hitting up a strip club and driving around a city at night. Also, there are some other artist and producer cameos throughout the music video, as you can see folks like Southside and Ken Carson pop out for cameo appearances.

Furthermore, this continues a lot of hype around the song that began when all parties involved started teasing it heavily on social media. This led up to a wild Rolling Loud L.A. performance earlier this month sans Playboi Carti, but Future, Metro Boomin, and Travis Scott still rocked the crowd. This is definitely one of the songs to have resonated with fans the most off of WE DON’T TRUST YOU, either thanks to its collaborative nature or the classically menacing Metro beat. Either way, we’re sure that we’ll be hearing it ring off at the aux, clubs, sporting events, and much more throughout 2024.

However, there’s also a lot of discussion about the more combative and speculative moments on WE DON’T TRUST YOU. “LIKE THAT” is about a few hours in the trend cycle away from becoming a classic verse of the 2020s, said verse coming from Kendrick Lamar and his Big Three-stomping lyricism. Many fans are hoping that Drake and J. Cole respond to these disses in some way, and they want more context and understanding as to what it all means for their competition and for the rap game at large. Maybe hearing one of them speak on it would paint a more complete picture, but Future and Metro Boomin have plenty of reason to indulge.

Supposedly, both of them have beef with Drake in particular, and dissed him on WE DON’T TRUST YOU. Metro’s issues with him are well-documented, whereas his “I Serve The Base” partner is rumored to be feuding with him over a girl. This is all unconfirmed and mostly just gossip, though, so we’ll see if this is the end of the story. Hopefully, there’s more to come. On that note, come back to HNHH for the latest news and updates on Future, Metro Boomin, Travis Scott, and Playboi Carti.
