Ho99o9
(pronounced Horror) is an American hip hop/hardcore punk group founded by
theOGM and Eaddy in 2012 in Newark, New Jersey. They relocated to Los Angeles
in 2014. They attracted a cult following on account of their live performance
and began collaborating with Ian Longwell who plays drums and produces for
Santigold. In 2016, former Black Flag member Brandon Pertzborn became the
band's drummer.
Loud and Quiet described Ho99o9's sound as a "seething collision of anarchic hardcore punk rock and industrial charged death rap". They were one of Rolling Stone's "10 New Artists You Need to Know" in 2014 and The Guardian's "New Band of the Week". They have performed at the Afropunk Festival in 2014, the SXSW Music Festival in 2015 and Primavera Sound Festival in 2016. To date, they have released multiple EPs, accompanied by grindhouse-style music videos, and one full-length album, United States of Horror (2017).
Their debut combined blustering rap, revolting industrial grooves and furious hardcore into an unpredictable whole, holding up two middle fingers to spray-tanned presidents and genre boundaries alike. It should be as messy as eating spaghetti with chopsticks. Instead it’s glued together by the chemistry between partners-in-crime theOGM and Eaddy – chemistry that’s as explosive as a smashed Molotov cocktail.
I am sharing a track from said album and City Rejects is a great track at that. Underrated and relatively unknown, but that is changing after support slots for Avenged Sevenfold Korn and Alice in Chains.
