Music: A Blistering Shot at the Status Quo: Ho99o9's "Target Practice"

Ho99o9 (pronounced "Horror") is an American hip-hop and punk rock duo from New Jersey, consisting of theOGM and Eaddy. The band is renowned for their visceral, chaotic, and often confrontational sound that fuses the raw energy of hardcore punk with the rhythmic intensity of trap and industrial hip-hop. Their live performances are legendary for their high-octane energy and a sense of barely controlled chaos.

The song "Target Practice" is a powerful and politically charged track from the band's catalog. The title itself is a clear metaphor for the feeling of being a victim of systemic violence, injustice, and racism. The lyrics are a raw and unfiltered expression of frustration and rage, a direct and defiant response to a world that feels hostile and oppressive. Musically, the track is a perfect storm of distorted synths, pulverizing drum machines, and aggressive, shouted vocals that feel both terrifying and exhilarating. It’s a song that turns a moment of vulnerability into a powerful and visceral rock anthem.
