Homixide Gang on 'Homixide Lifestyle,' Atlanta, Playboi Carti, Opium & More!

#OGM #HomixideGang #OurGenerationMusic
Work ethic has always been of high importance to Atlanta-bred rap group Homixide Gang. Before singing to Opium, Homixide Meechie and Beno built their cult following on the energetic stylings of new wave rage - touting a blitz of bars that sent shockwaves into the heart of Atlanta’s revitalized sound. So much so that it only took one track to wow its sonic pioneer Playboi Carti.
"Y'all are superstars," Meechie recalled of Carti’s initial reaction to “SSN” - their breakout single that immediately caught fire in the underground. From that point on, the pair knew they were destined for a brighter future than they previously imagined. “We always knew we’d be big, but not like this,” Meechie said.
Clocking in endless hours of studio time, their upcoming project ‘Homixide Lifestyle’ is poised to be an early magnum opus for the Opium tandem. Holding 19 tracks with features from Lonely, Carson and more, Meechie and Beno ecstatically revealed the album’s underlying purpose. “This is made for shows,” they said, alluding to their efforts to create “performance art” that inadvertently mirrors Carti’s ‘Whole Lotta Red.’
With ‘Homixide Lifestyle’ on the way, OGM host Hakeem Rowe sat down with Meechie and Beno just before their BoxFest performance in New York City to speak on their upcoming album, “SSN,” Playboi Carti, Ken Carson, Destroy Lonely, Opium, their sound, touring and more in our latest Our Generation Music exclusive interview.
