Ho99o9 - United States of Horror
Punk and hip hop had a baby. It's named Ho99o9: United States of Horror. It's due date May 5th. The standout debut album feels much like hardcore anti-establishment punk once did, raw and no shits given. However, Ho99o9 have incorporated hints of hip hop and introduced the punk world to the poetic and rhythmic aspect of the genre and merged the two. It's produced something very refreshing. The album track United States of Horror stays true to the rest of the album with its heavy social slants and a political drive. Ho99o9's message is clear: Us V Them. Us being the Ginny pigs with little or no say in society. Them being those at the top. It's very revolutionary. Expressing views in a way which entices you to also look at society negatively and stick a big middle finger to it. Not many albums have the power to do so. Ho99o9 have proved with this album they're great assets to the punk scene, showing how it can adapt to remain relevant and keep with the times.
