July 8, 2025 – Today, Opium’s dynamic rap duo Homixide Gang unveil the official cover for their highly anticipated new album, Homixide Lifestyle 2. The follow-up to their 2022 debut mixtape, Homixide Lifestyle 2 sees Meechie and Beno! return to the chaotic, menacing rage-rap sound that first put them on the map, only now, they’re sharper, louder, and more locked in than ever. They’ve been teasing the project for months, previewing unreleased tracks during a wild set at Rolling Loud California and most recently at Summer Smash Festival in Chicago. Rumors of features, including collaborations with other Opium signees, have only heightened anticipation.
In a full-circle moment, the duo recreated their original cover three years later, once again shot by renowned photographer Gunner Stahl(Playboi Carti, Metro Boomin, Rae Sremmurd), who also captured the first Homixide Lifestyle artwork. This next chapter signals sonic development with the duo drawing from southern hip-hop influences while continuing to push the boundaries of rage rap.

Free Agents.” They first unveiled the music video on YouTube late last year, and it has since racked nearly 1 million views.
