There are hundreds of “ride or die” Hippo Campus fans. It made sense that when this rock band released their third single of LP3, they chose the track “Ride or Die.” This song and its corresponding music video premiered on Jan. 11, 2022, just weeks ahead of their full-length album.

“It’s one of my favorite songs on the record,” frontman Jake Luppen said in a statement. “You can really hear everyone in the band doing their thing.”

This single comes just weeks after the band’s premiere of “Boys” and “Semi Pro,” the former earning over 3 million plays on the streaming platform Spotify. Hippo Campus also released some promotional material on their social media platforms, including pictures of fans finding one of 1,000 free limited-edition discs at record stores all across the globe.

After months of anticipation, fans will finally get a new full-length album from the American rock band. Hippo Campus’ upcoming album, titled LP3, premieres on Feb. 4, 2022. The forthcoming collection is available to pre-save on Spotify and pre-add on Apple Music.

LP3 features 10 new tracks from the band, “Semi Pro,” “Boys,” and “Ride or Die” among them. Already music videos featuring the already-released singles are available on YouTube, featuring glimpses of the band members and themes of the album as a whole.

According to a press release, this upcoming release will be Hippo Campus’ “most complete work yet,” portraying a “freshly-inked portrait excavating young adulthood and identity and, more importantly, how that personal identity fits into a larger camaraderie.”
