“Horrorcore is alive and well in Chicago,” said Complex, who included Montana of 300‘s “Ice Cream Truck” in their Bout To Blow feature, which highlights songs that they project viewers will be hearing everywhere soon. The gritty Windy City rapper returned this week with “Planet of the Apes,” an extended video version of a single from his Cursed With A Blessing mixtape that released in December. Joined by Talley of 300, the rappers sport camouflage hunting gear in a visual that was filmed at a forest reserve in Maywood, IL, right outside of Chicago. “I started rapping with Talley, literally,” explains Montana of 300. “We both decided to write raps in class together during freshman year in high school. I’ve got money with bro, been broke with bro, and have been in life threatening situations with him.”

Adding on to the critical praise Montana of 300 has been receiving, The FADER referred to “Ice Cream Truck” “a hittas anthem that’s at once sweetly melodic and a true banger.” Upon releasing his Cursed With A Blessing mixtape, FakeShoreDrive added, “I can’t lie… I was excited for the to drop.” Also known for his remixes of popular songs, Montana of 300’s “Try Me” remix has surpassed 7 million YouTube views and his “Coco” remix video is over 2 million views.
