Los Angeles-based hip-hop punk duo Ho99o9 (pronounced “horror”) has a lot of friends, so why not share their talents with the world? The new mixtape Ho99o9 Presents Territory : Turf Talk Vol. 1 is a showcase of the band’s eclectic array of their musical universe, featuring contributions from Pussy Riot, Pink Siifu, Gnar and more.
Pulling from the band’s inspirations that span across genre and time, Ho99o9’s collaborative track with Russia’s Pussy Riot, titled “MIND YO BIZNESS,” is a shapeshifting track built on rage. Pussy Riot’s soft delivery delivers an impactful punch as they address misogyny over the rumbly, distorted trap beat. “MIND YO BIZNESS” is a rallying cry for empowerment at all costs. The video itself is a twisted exploration of public surveillance, shown through grainy security camera footage.
“There’s something powerful in moving as an army, as a unit, as a force,” asserts Ho99o9’s theOGM (who produced the mixtape under the name LilBooth). “It’s paying homage to all the Collectives / Crews like Wu Tang, Dip Set, G Unit, Ruff Ryders, Rawkus, Roc a Fella / State Property, FlipMode Squad, O.F., A.S.A.P.”
