A little while back, I stumbled across a highlight tape of LeBron James and Dwyane Wade from their days hooping in Miami together. They were out there tossing no-look passes and full-court lobs to each other like adults with fake birth certificates at an AAU circuit. Men against boys, as they say.

For any DJs playing in urban pockets of South Florida for the first time: Please don’t queue “Take a Step Back” when you feel like you’re losing the crowd.

There’s no collective in America commanding the youth like Opium is right now. Somewhere between cold nonchalance and masochistic vitriol lies the Atlanta-based neo-punk brigade, a coven of rappers and producers who mold piercing distortion into organized bedlam. When Playboi Carti launched the label with the release of 2020’s Whole Lotta Red, he was already readying his first protégé.
