Ho99o9: hardcore hip-hop punk from L.A.
Those who fancy darker hip-hop with a good deal of punk or rather rap punk are in for a mesmerizing show of New Jersey duo (currently based in LA) at the 20th edition of Pohoda. According to Rolling Stone and The Guardian journalists it’s totally worth it.

TheOGM and Eaddy started performing already in 2012 within JerseyKLAN collective. Their main influences were the so-called gangsta hip-hop and Brooklyn’s underground punk shows. In 2014, they relocated to Los Angeles and started performing under the name Ho99o9. In August that year, they played at New York’s Afropunk Festival. Rolling Stone named them one of “10 New Artists You Need to Know” and described their 30-minute slot as a high-octane show.
The Guardian says they “are hip-hop for people who don’t normally listen to much hip-hop.” They’re designed more for an audience listening to hard-rock, punk, metal and similar genres. The Guardian recommended their London concerts in “New band of the week” selection. But it wasn’t just their reviews that convinced us. After festivals such as SXSW, OFF or Iceland Airwaves, in July 2016, Ho99o9 will be introduced to Slovakian audience as well.
