Lo-Lifes unite on new Grupo HNE single ft. Thirstin Howl The 3rd
Spanglish Boom-Bap trio Grupo HNE have dropped a new single this morning. “LO Malo” translates to “the bad” and since the track has a guest feature from the legendary polorican himself, Thirstin Howl The 3rd and the group is part of the Lo-Life Miami Family, it’s apparent why the LO is capitalized in the title. Grupo HNE (pronounced Henny) is made up of DJ Exes on the mic, DJ Heron on production and multi-instrumentalist Nando who adds percussion, keyboards and occasional vocals.
Speaking on the track’s creation, Exes relayed “Thirstin picked the beat, which reminded me of a 70’s gangster / spy type movie. I attacked it from the perspective of a trench coat wearing, aviator sunglasses rockin’, cigar smoking salsero, writing an entry in his journal, which will one day be a best-seller. Once my verse was done I sent it off to Thirstin and he bodied it like the beat killer that he is. All that was left was for Nando to lace it with congas to give it that chef’s kiss. The result is …LO Malo.”
Listen to “LO Malo” ft. Thirstin Howl The 3rd:
“LO Malo” comes right on the heels of the group’s recent video combining two of their singles “Black Angels / Big Pictures” which features guest verse/appearances by fellow Miami artists Shottie (on “Black Angels”) and Money Mogly (on “Big Pictures”).

L’Entourloop pay tribute to the golden age of sound system culture with new single “Muffin Kings”.
French collective L’Entourloop are paying tribute to the golden age of sound system culture with their new single “Muffin Kings”. The new single marks the end of L’Entourloop’s 2025 European tour, which included three dates across the UK with a huge finale at the Adidas Arena in Paris.
Known for combo tracks that feature a myriad of guests and have racked up millions of streams, the beatmakers crew achieves a real tour de force by bringing together no fewer than six artists on “Muffin Kings,” all recorded during the same session by Little Lion Sound in Jamaica. The track features raggamuffin pioneers Danny English, Bunny General, and Hollow Point, rub-a-dub singers Echo Minott and Tristan Palmer, as well as the new generation represented by the talented Eesah. L’Entourloop’s signature hip-hop inna yardie style beat and the vocal performances of these prestigious guests make “Muffin Kings” an instant banger.
L’Entourloop dedicate “Muffin Kings” to Danny English, who passed away shortly after the recording, as well as to the victims of Hurricane Melissa in Jamaica. The single comes as L’Entourloop prepare to return to the UK in 2026 for an appearance at Boomtown Festival on the Grand Central stage and as they put the finishing touches to their fourth studio album, expected for release in late 2026 / early 2027.
