“5G” by Homixide Gang brings rage rap and Smashing Pumpkins energy in a chaotic new single.
Homixide Gang’s “5G” is out now, delivering an intense, guitar-driven explosion that pushes their rage-rap aesthetic to thrilling new heights. The single prominently samples Smashing Pumpkins’ 1993 alternative rock classic “Cherub Rock,” offering a perfect foundation for Meechie and Beno!’s relentless vocal delivery. The energy is palpable, with every bar building momentum toward a chaotic crescendo.
Accompanying the track is a music video inspired by David Fincher’s cult hit Fight Club. Capturing raw anarchic imagery, the visual pairs cinematic references with Homixide Gang’s signature edge. The video deepens the narrative and atmosphere, establishing a powerful aesthetic around the single.
This release arrives just days after the reveal of the official cover art for Homixide Lifestyle 2, the highly awaited follow-up to their 2022 debut. Shot by celebrated hip-hop photographer Gunner Stahl, the new cover reimagines their original image from three years ago, emphasizing their evolution without abandoning their roots.
Fans have caught early previews of the upcoming album through the duo’s electrifying live performances at Rolling Loud California and Summer Smash Festival in Chicago. The setlists teased unreleased music, heightening anticipation, with rumors of collaborations circulating throughout the Opium fanbase.
Also still riding high is their recent release “Free Agents,” which dropped earlier this year. With over 1 million views on YouTube, the video, directed by YungTacc, shows the group in their element—on the road with friends and labelmates, doing what they do best.
With “5G,” Homixide Gang once again reaffirms their place at the core of the rage rap movement, blending rock energy, trap sonics, and boundary-pushing visuals.
