## Resource

This week, Outlier’s Joey Arena joins me to break down “(Rock) Superstar,” the band’s collaboration with Sen Dog and Hyro The Hero , reimagining one of the defining crossover tracks of the early 2000s . Long before “genre-fluid” became a buzzword, the original version proved that hip-hop , rock , and metal didn’t just coexist — they could thrive together . This new take taps into that same spirit, updating the sound without losing the attitude that made it hit so hard the first time around. Anchored by Sen Dog’s unmistakable presence and Hyro The Hero’s raw, modern edge, this version isn’t simply for nostalgia’s sake — it’s a reminder of why taking risks mattered then , and still matters now . Beyond the cover, Joey also opens up about where Outlier is headed next, digging into original tracks “Warrior (feat. Chris Motionless),” “Crown (feat. VRSTY)” and “Creature of the Night.” Each song pulls from a different corner of the band’s identity — defiance , confidence , and controlled chaos — while pointing toward the bigger picture of Outlier’s upcoming studio album . We talk about how these songs fit together , what they reveal about the band’s evolution , and why this next chapter is a statement . 🎙️ LEARN MORE 🎵 Hear the Playlists / Browse the Catalog: ⁠ https://myweeklymixtape.com⁠ 💬 Join the Mixtaper Community (Patreon): ⁠ https://patreon.com/myweeklymixtape⁠ 🌐 Connect on Social: ⁠ https://myweeklymixtape.com/social-media⁠ 📧 Email the Show / Contact: ⁠ https://myweeklymixtape.com/contact⁠ 👕 Shop MWM Gear: https://myweeklymixtape-shop.fourthwall.com/
