Homixide Gang Heats Up on 'Homixide Lifestyle 2'
As they hone in their hypnotic niche within the Opium soundscape.
Summary
- Homixide Gang has unveiled the follow-up to its 2022 debut, Homixide Lifestyle, entitled Homixide Lifestyle 2
- Clocking in at 25 tracks, the project features Opium labelmates Ken Carson and Destroy Lonely
One of the four pillars of the boundless Opium universe, Homixide Gang is still just getting started. When Homixide Meechie and Homixide Beno! dropped off the rising duo’s debut Homixide Lifestyle in 2022, the project made waves in the underbelly of the rage-rap scene, slowly establishing the Playboi Carti-cosigned duo as one to keep an eye on. Roughly three years after its predecessor, the Gang has dropped off the follow-up to its 2022 debut, dubbed Homixide Lifestyle 2, which comes equipped with high-octane beats, frenetic yet fresh-sounding production, and fellow Opium features.
Released just ahead of the album’s drop, “PB&J” – a particular peak of the 25-track project – gets levelled up with a verse from labelmate Ken Carson, while Destroy Lonely jumps on song number 20, “SHOPPING BAGS.” Elsewhere, Homixidemali and R5 Homixide hop in as well, with other fan-favorite singles “5G” (which samples Smashing Pumpkins’ 1993 cut “Cherub Rock”) and “FREE AGENTS” also making the final cut.
A lineup of pioneering producers, too, had a hand in Homixide’s latest sonic endeavor. Names include Pi’erre Bourne, Wakeup F1LTHY, Maaly Raw, Section 8 and ATL Jacob. Find the full tracklist below.
