| Today marks the release of Atlanta’s dynamic rap duo, Homixide Gang’s, eagerly awaited project, I5U5WE5. The 14-track offering finds the group bolder than ever, with powerful lyrics and infectious beats defining this new chapter. They previously shared “R50” a high-octane, guitar-heavy track that evokes a visceral rock and roll experience as well as “HI-VOLTAGE,” an exhilarating single coated in twitchy raps, breathless flows and gleaming production. Both tracks are thrilling but only scratch the surface of the intense sounds and sharp lyrics found throughout the project. I5U5WE5 also features a collaboration with fellow Atlanta artist, Lil Yachty titled, “SIDE EFFExT,” production on “DeathLok” from rising rapper tana, as well as several tracks that are named after WWE wrestling moves, a testament to the visceral storytelling that immerses you in the world of Homixide Gang. Listen HERE via Opium / Interscope Records.
I5U5WE5 arrives fresh on the heels of Homixide Gang’s SOLD OUT run of five shows in China at the end of last month. Commanding 1500-capacity venues, they not only delivered electrifying performances but also teased audiences with a sneak peek of “R50.” As the pioneering Opium artists to grace this market, their presence marked a historic milestone in their artistic journey. The buzz generated from these performances traveled online, amplifying their presence and solidifying their status as trailblazers to watch. Watch the recap HERE. This month, they unveiled plans for yet another tour, this time gracing Europe’s stages across seven cities starting this July. Full list of tour dates can be found HERE.
As stylish as it is powerful, tracks like “HI-VOLTAGE,” and “2Xtreme” live up to their name in every respect. A constellation of mystique, energetic raps and dystopian production, Homixide Gang specializes in futuristic trap; street raps that blend bulletproof swagger of the bando with surreal soundscapes designed to ignite a crowd. After breaking out with their Snotty Hill project in 2021, the duo only added to their arsenal with Homixide Lifestyle (2022), Snot or Not (2023), and 5th Amndmnt (2023). With their latest endeavor, they’ve propelled their sounds to even more electrifying heights. Homixide Gang’s evolution epitomizes an unwavering dedication to pushing boundaries and redefining the limits of their genre.
