Music Times UK: Big C, it’s been a minute since King of the Underground. What made now the right time to link back up?

Big C: Timing is everything. We’ve all been moving in our own lanes — I’ve been working, sharpening the pen. But this moment just felt right. The energy, the hunger, the culture — it all lined up. We wanted to remind folks who started this underground wave and why it still matters.

Music Times UK: “Contagious” is the name of the single — what inspired it?

Colione: The vibe. We were in the studio and the beat hit — it was instant. The hook came to me like a spark. This track is infectious by design — it’s meant to move you, to spread like wildfire. That’s the whole spirit of the song. It’s got energy, truth, and that bounce.

Triple-X: It’s that Florida heat. I wanted to bring that club-to-the-block feel. It’s a sound that grabs you and doesn’t let go.

“Contagious” is exactly what music needs right now — raw, fun, and real.

Music Times UK: Big C, people call you “King of the Underground.

” Do you still embrace that title?

Big C: Absolutely. That title wasn’t given — it was earned. Bar for bar, I’ve always stood on something. The underground is about authenticity. No gimmicks, no filters. So yeah, I wear that crown with pride.

Music Times UK: Colione, you’re a 3x Grammy winner. What does a track like this mean to you personally?Colione: Grammys are dope — I’m grateful. But this? This is home. This is where I started.

“Contagious” isn’t just another track — it’s a reunion. It’s that brotherhood in music. It means more because it’s not just business; it’s legacy.

Music Times UK: Triple-X, you’ve been called Florida’s premier DJ. How do you see your role in the trio?

Triple-X: I’m the bridge. I bring the soundscape together. Whether it’s on stage or in the booth, I know how to amplify the moment. Florida DJs move the culture — we set the tone, and with this track, the tone is unmatched.

Music Times UK: What makes “Contagious” the Summer Banger of 2025?

Big C: Because it feels like summer — the freedom, the fire, the flavor. It’s got all the elements: lyrics, hooks, beats. It’s not just a song, it’s a movement.

Colione: You can’t sit still when it’s on. Whether you’re in the whip, in the club, or on the beach — it hits every time.

Triple-X: It’s more than music — it’s a wave. And it’s just the beginning.
