Homixide Gang don’t have any influences, they only have original ideas. The hip-hop duo’s music — which is as indescribable as they intended it to be — is a concerted effort to make something “that’s never been done before.” Those Slipknot-style masks they wear in their promo visuals? They’re just for show. Neither Homixide Beno! nor Homixide Meechie, the gang’s members, have ever listened to the Iowa Nine. “We just saw a picture of Slipknot on Instagram one day and thought it was hard,” Beno! says.

According to Xandt, “Its design nods to earlier incarnations of V Man‘s face and references Italian expressionist sculptures ravaged and converted into a mask by brute force. This ‘slashed’ appearance is one of three different designs.”

Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, is still looking for a forever home for an adorable six-year-old French bulldog named Joannie. The local animal rescue explains: “Joannie was found as a stray extremely emaciated and less than half her current weight now. She was missing fur on her body, face and ears. She has been nursed back to health and is doing wonderfully. While her age and exact history is unknown, it is clear she has mothered more than enough litters in her short lifetime.”
