Anaheim's Hippie C and producer Mellow Thing drop "Pay Homage"

Anaheim lyricist Hippie C, who posts as @everythinggreen, has a new project out with producer Mellow Thing (@mellowthing_). It's called "Pay Homage."

Juice Unlocked announced it on July 23, 2025, under its Juice Unlocked Music banner: "Hippie C's new album out now." The graphic said the two were bringing "that raw sound back to Orange County."

What's on it

A Spotify screenshot in the post lists "Pay Homage" under Mellow Thing as an EP and a Friday new release: five songs, about 10 minutes long. Every track credits Mellow Thing and Hippie C.

The tracklist runs "Pay Homage Intro," "Citrus District," "Commissioner (Henny Juice)" and "Paid Homage interlude." The fifth track, which ends in "Pay Homage," is cut off in the screenshot.

The cover art shows a bearded older man in robes holding a white bird aloft. A strip of vertical Japanese text, 敬意を表す, translates roughly to "to pay respect."

The vibe

The post previews the project across three short clips. The first opens with a spoken passage about paying attention to the small details, paying it forward, keeping it real and staying solid to yourself. The next two play rap verses.

Fans weigh in

Juice Unlocked asked followers if they were feeling the sound. The post drew 97 likes and 76 comments.

Update

The pair turned up together again later that year. On Dec. 10, 2025, Juice Unlocked posted a clip of new music tagged #spiffygreen, crediting @98specs, @everythinggreen and @mellowthing_.
