Hip Hop is no stranger to reinvention, but some icons never have to chase trends — they set them. In a world where clout often overshadows craft, Big C, Colione, and Triple-X are reminding everyone what timeless talent really sounds like. Their newest single “Contagious” is igniting the airwaves and taking over the streets — a high-energy return that marks their first collaborative release since the King of the Underground album.
We sat down for an exclusive with the trio to talk about the legacy, the chemistry, and why “Contagious” is the hottest song of the summer.

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.
