Video: Germ – “7 Hunna Horses”
The G59 Artist Sends Warning Shots From the Helm of his “7 Hunna Horses” in Peak Horse Wrangler Fashion
Critical Praise:
“For a time, Germ was your favorite SoundCloud rapper’s favorite SoundCloud rapper. Before established himself with solo releases, he was racking up hundreds of thousands of streams providing a jolt of off-the-wall energy on tracks by $UICIDEBOY$, Fat Nick, and Pouya. When he began to branch out on his own, with the mixtape Bad Shit (Bootleg) and the $UICIDEBOY$ collaboration DIRTYNASTY$UICIDE, he established himself as a raucous spark plug with a nasally flow and rhyme schemes that recalled a certain Academy Award-winning Memphis rap crew” – Complex
“The Haitian rapper is soaring to new heights with a debut album under his belt called Germ Has A Deathwish.” – Interview
“The latest signee to the $uicideboy$ label is an Atlanta skater-turned-rapper with a voice that’s as aggressive as it is gleeful. His new tape isn’t that serious, but his rapping is.” – Pitchfork
The Video:
Taking a break from ATL city life to kick it cowboy style on a horse ranch comes Germ being extra meta by rapping about his horsepower (his beloved but wrecked Dodge Hellcat had 700 horsepower) to actual horses. Slicing through distorted trap tracks with his razor sharp voice, Germ is back with a roaring vengeance. Offering the official music video for “7 Hunna Horses,” Germ breathes life into the already explosive single from his recently released project The Hijinx Tape. Surrounded by horses, vintage Ferraris, and FTP drip, this isn’t just any ol’ Atlanta ranch. The G59 artist flips from turnt-up horse whisperer to padded cell inmate, as he spits vicious bars: “I’m a big tweaker, ride ’round with that heater, might delete ya / I’m that Grim Reaper, spook right here, tryna meet ya off that meter.” Produced by Kevin Rolly, “7 Hunna Horses” is a bass-heavy warning shot from Germ to the rest of the rap game–you can’t stop his shine, so get behind him or get out of the way.
The follow-up to last year’s debut Germ Has A Death Wish, The Hijinx Tape is a 12-song set of rap mayhem, complete with the aggressive beats, machine gun flows, and boss life bars that Germ’s fans have come to expect. The album is an outrageously confident catalog of Germ’s favorite things, as he rhymes about his ounces of Cookies weed, his garage full of Dodge SRT Hellcats, and having more jewels than your local Zales. Featuring the recently released single “Walked In” (115k streams on Spotify alone), The Hijinx Tape is the ideal soundtrack for crashing a whip just to have an excuse to buy another one – in fact, the album artwork is a photo of Germ’s actual car crash in 2019. Featuring an appearance from G59’s Shakewell and production from Budd Dwyer (aka Scrim from G59 head honchos $uicideboy$) and more, The Hijinx Tape is available now via G59 Records.

The Background:
Atlanta-native and G59 signee Germ dropped his debut album and first project with the label (helmed by his co-conspirators $uicideboy$) titled Germ Has A Deathwish in 2019. The 11-track LP proves to be his breakout; a versatile and progressive body of work showcasing the elevation of his rap career, from his early upbringing and Haitian roots to his days cutting his teeth as a skater on the streets of ATL. Germ recently supported $uicideboy$ on Grey Day Tour and proved he could infuse energy into crowds numbering into the thousands. Germ’s sophomore album The Hinjinx Tape is slated for a July 31st release date.
