Conway The Machine Joins Juicy J And Sauce Walka For “Super Bowl”: Listen

by

The Super Bowl may have already occurred, but Conway The Machine relives the unmatched energy of the event in his new song “Super Bowl.” Featuring Juicy J and Sauce Walka, this track lusts after the life of big ballers while recounting the highs felt after winning a nationally-acclaimed tournament. All three rappers bring an unapologetic grit to the track that results in an upbeat anthem.

Conway, who recently announced his upcoming third studio album Won’t He Do It, is known for placing his soulful bars over soothing beats. His 2022 project God Don’t Make Mistakes deep dived into the 41-year-old’s outstanding capabilities as a lyricist, and featured T.I., Rick Ross, and Benny The Butcher. The release of “Super Bowl” also follows the rapper’s news of a confirmed docuseries created by his label, Drumwork, marking another exciting step in Conway’s career.

Conway Drops “Super Bowl” Ahead Of Upcoming Album

While “Super Bowl” may differ from Conway’s previous projects by its overtly upbeat nature, the track serves as a celebration of wins for the New York rapper. In the chorus, he describes “feelin’ like I won the AFC.” Both Juicy and Sauce allude to the same winning mentality in their verses, reflecting on the successes of their individual careers. In November, the “Bandz Make Her Dance” rapper dropped Crypto Business, a collaborative album with Lex Luger and Trap-A-Holics. Sauce, despite alleged affiliation with the ongoing RICO case, ended the year with three mixtapes: Al Rage Walka, Sauce Beach Florida, and Sauce Ghetto Gospel 3.

In all, “Super Bowl” marks a collaborative effort to depict the incomparable highs of success and big wins. The track is currently available to stream on all platforms, so be sure to check it out and let us know what you think in the comments down below. Like always, be sure to keep in touch with HNHH for the latest news on all things hip-hop.

Quotable Lyrics:

I’m only faithful to the cash, yeah (Woah)
Straight forward to the bag, uh (Woah)
I don’t wait for it, I don’t ask (Woah)
I’ma take all of it, I take all it, I’ma take off, I’m finna blast (Yeah)

Kodak Black Makes “GTA V” Player Strip At Gunpoint On Stream

by

Rappers are just like the rest of us sometimes. After a hard day’s work, an award ceremony, or performance, sometimes they just want to get online and destress with some video games. Kodak Black recently did so in hilarious fashion while streaming GTA V with friends. Moreover, he tried the role-play mod on PC for the first time, which lets players assume specific roles like policemen and delivery workers, but still involved the typical Grand Theft Auto shenanigans. In fact, Kodak held a player at gunpoint and told him to strip, which made for a hilarious interaction.

“I don’t want them jeans, fam,” the “ZEZE” rapper demanded in the viral clip. “Okay, that boy butt naked. Take them boxers off, take them boxers off, homie. Let me see how big that d**k is, fam. Let me see if you’re a man, homie.” For what it’s worth, pretty sure that’s not a feature in the game yet, but it prompted some funny reactions from the game chat. Many shouted “pause” in response to the Florida rapper’s comments. Still, Yak laughed along with his colleagues, and for any gamers out there, it does take you back to those early days of random encounters through game chat. You’re probably just not used to a famous rapper holding you up in-game.

Kodak Black Wilds Out On GTA V

In fact, the crossovers between GTA and rap are quite interesting and come from many different levels of experience. For example, the game often includes tracks from prolific hip-hop gamers like Danny Brown in its soundtrack. However, when Dr. Dre appeared on GTA Online: The Contract with new music with Eminem, Anderson .Paak, Snoop Dogg, Busta Rhymes, the late Nipsey Hussle, Ty Dolla $ign, and Rick Ross, he wasn’t even a fan. “[Dre] had no idea what [Grand Theft Auto] was about because he’s not a gamer at all,” producer DJ Pooh expressed around its release. “He never played them. He was blown away [by] how deep you can get into the whole thing. He’s like, ‘Oh s**t!’”

Meanwhile, Eminem almost starred in a GTA movie back in 2001 after the release of Grand Theft Auto III. “[The agent] said: ‘Kirk, we’ve got Eminem to star, and it’s a Tony Scott film. $5 million on the nose. Are you interested?’” Kirk Ewing remarked, a friend of series creators Sam and Dan Houser. “And I phoned up Sam and I said: ‘Listen to this. They want Eminem in the Grand Theft Auto movie and Tony Scott to direct.’ And he said: ‘Not interested’ … They realized that the media franchise that they had was bigger than any movie that was going on at the time.” Regardless, the series is still one of the most iconic franchises and certainly video games of the past thirty years. Still, come back to HNHH for the latest funny gaming moments from hip-hop stars like Kodak Black.

It comes in at just over three minutes and follows The Kid’s January joint effort with Famous Dex and Jay Critch.

That single is titled “Where’s Dexter,” and it’s reportedly due to appear on the “Plug Walk” rapper’s forthcoming Life’s A Gamble album. “Do You Love Me?” is also among tracklist contenders. We don’t know what other guest features Rich has in the works at this time. Still, fans are certainly eager to hear his long-awaited follow-up to 2020’s BOSS MAN, his last solo effort.

That same year, The Kid went on to team up with NBA YoungBoy for their collaborative Nobody Safe project. In 2021, he and Lil Wayne also undeniably made their mark with the 10-track Trust Fund Babies mixtape. YG was the only other artist to join them, with all three lyricists markedly showing out on “Buzzin’.”

Do you love me? Girl, you know they out for my top
If I fell off tomorrow, would you hold my spot?
I know bitches don’t love me, they out for my guap
I ain’t gon’ never tell them what it’s not

R-Mean Brings West Coast Vibes With YG & Scott Storch On “Charles Barkley”

by

R-Mean’s become an integral force of the diverse Los Angeles sound and its expansion in the past decade. The rapper’s Mean Mondays series became a staple at HNHH. For basically two years straight, R-Mean came through with a new track each year that proved he was a behemoth of an MC in his own right. Throughout the series, he tackled classic instrumentals from Nas and 2Pac while also collaborating with titans such as Bone Thugs-N-Harmony’s Krayzie Bone on “Real Ones.”

In 2020, the rapper showcased his strengths as a collaborator when he linked up with Berner on The Warning. The two West Coast rappers traded bars with other incredible MCs such as Styles P, Wiz Khalifa, and Dave East, among others. Then, he linked up with Justin Credible for Justin Credible Presents: R-Mean. The project boasted 11 songs with appearances from B-Real, Jay Critch, and BlocBoy JB, further propelling R-Mean into the limelight. However, he has some bigger things ahead of him in 2023. 

R-Mean – “Charles Barkley” Ft. YG & Scott Storch

As R-Mean gears up for a new chapter in his career, he’s unveiled his brand new single, “Charles Barkley” ft. YG, produced by Scott Storch. The follow-up to “Lonely Day” is a vibrant West Coast banger that brings together the Los Angeles spirit to life, while jokingly playing homage to Chuck as YG raps, “Imma be old without a ring, Charles Barkley.” Storch’s infectious production merges dizzying flutes and looming bass for YG and R-Mean’s unmatched chemistry.

“He’s been the face of authentic West Coast music for a decade.” R-Mean said of YG in a statement. “Being from LA as well, it’s been an honor to get in the studio with him. Creating something that will undoubtedly bring the LA sound back to the clubs.”However, R-Mean credits the “Lean Back” producer for creating the soundscape that helped mesh his chemistry with YG on wax. “Scott Storch gave us the perfect backdrop where our respective styles could both shine,” he added. Storch will handle the production of R-Mean’s upcoming album, M.E.A.N., due out on April 14th.

Quotable Lyrics
R dash Mean, baby, who you ridin’ with? 
I ain’t never tell a bitch I love her, just to try to hit 
I ain’t even try to fuck with drama, on a broke bitch 
On the rise, like coke prices durin’ Covid

Dr. Kamran Rashid Khan, also known as Lazarus, is ready to make world history by becoming the first music artist to debut his song from the International Space Station. Lazarus is a Detroit-based rapper who has been frequently touring with Wu-Tang Clan and also a practicing physician who treated patients throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. He has now teamed up with Jim Green, who has served as NASA’s chief scientist for 42 years, to bring the first song in music to realistically and accurately describe space travel from the point of view of an astronaut.

Hip Hop turned 50 this year as celebrated at the 2023 Grammy Awards. In a recent live Instagram broadcast with Jim Green, Lazarus discusses the power of Hip Hop over the years. “Hip Hop as a form of music has always been there for the art of expression and to bring awareness to subject matters. And now utilizing Hip Hop we can speak on topics like space travel, what’s going on in outer space, terraforming, insights we can gain about pollution, crops, agriculture.” 

This history-making song is called “Pale Blue Dot” and launches from the ISS on March 11th via a livestream and then is going to be released on all streaming platforms the next day on March 12th. This is an extremely proud moment for Hip Hop and shows once again that this art form has absolutely no boundaries or limitations.
