Kevin Abstract Shares Yet Another Tease Of His Upcoming Solo Album

November 1, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Kevin Abstract is gearing up to make his first post-Brockhampton move as a solo artist. While he already has a good bit of solo material under his belt, for the first time since the rap group called it quits last year he’s returning to his own work. So far the the singles have embraced his early DIY style with an aesthetic that’s more influenced by indie and punk. He’s kept his fans fed as well. The first single for the album “Blanket” dropped in the first week of October. Since then Abstract has shared three more singles, culminating in “Madonna” earlier today.

The track once again sees Kevin Abstract taking an indie pop route. The instrumental features acoustic guitar and rustic percussion while Kevin’s vocals are pitched up for much of the song. The song is generally quite uplifting, as much of his new material has been. The artwork once again keeps with the theme of felt monsters that has run through all of his new singles. This newest artwork features all three of the monsters that appeared on previous covers. Listen to the entire new single below.

Kevin Abstract Sings To A Girl Who “Thinks She’s Madonna”

Kevin Abstract’s new album BLANKET is expected to drop later this week. Technically, it’s his first solo album since 2019’s Arizona Baby. Though many Brockhampton fans consider the group’s penultimate project The Family to be a Kevin solo album in disguise.

Blanket is Abstract’s 4th studio album following Arizona Baby as well as his breakout 2016 project American Boyfriend and his 2014 project MTV1987. He isn’t the only Brockhampton alum releasing music individually. Former members Ameer Vann and Merlyn Wood recently released a joint mixtape. What do you think of Kevin Abstract’s new single “Madonna?” Let us know in the comment section below.

Quotable Lyrics:
She thinks she Madonna, maybe she Madonna
No friеnds, 2 A.M., and she hit the diner
Speedin’ homе, fever dream, outrunnin’ the drama
Next day, sunrise, just facin’ the water
She thinks she Madonna, she don’t wanna let us down

Sydeon Net Worth 2023: What Is The Streamer Worth?

November 1, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The streaming world has seen a meteoric rise in recent years, with platforms like Twitch becoming a hub for gamers and content creators. Among these rising stars is Sydeon, an America-based Twitch streamer who has carved a niche for herself in the gaming community. As of 2023, Sydeon’s net worth is estimated to be around $250,000 US Dollars, according to WikiOfCelebs. But how did she amass this fortune, and what factors contributed to her success? Let’s delve deeper.

Born as Sydney Parker on June 11, 1997, to African-Swedish parents in the United States, Sydeon’s journey into the world of streaming began in earnest in 2019. Although she launched her Twitch channel in mid-2018, it was only in the following year that she began streaming regularly. Initially gaining popularity for her Minecraft live streams, her follower count saw a significant boost by the end of 2020.

Her big break came in 2021 when she joined OfflineTV, a collective of content creators and streamers. This association introduced her to a broader audience and diversified her content. While Minecraft was her initial claim to fame, Sydeon has since expanded her gaming repertoire, frequently streaming popular titles like Valorant and Fortnite. Additionally, she often hosts Just Chatting streams, allowing her to engage directly with her fanbase.

Breaking Down Sydeon’s Net Worth

The primary source of Sydeon’s income is her Twitch channel. As a full-time streamer, the platform contributes significantly to her net worth. Her earnings come from various streams, including ads, donations, bits, and, most notably, subscriptions. According to TwitchTracker, Sydeon boasts an impressive 1190 active paid subscribers. With a conservative estimate of $5 per subscriber, this translates to a monthly income of at least $5,950 from subscriptions alone. However, it’s essential to note that subscriber counts can vary over time.

Beyond her Twitch earnings, Sydeon has also ventured into personal sponsorships. She has collaborated with several prominent brands, including StockX, further bolstering her income.

Sydeon Beyond Twitch

Sydeon’s influence isn’t limited to Twitch. She has a significant presence on other social media platforms, including TikTok and Twitter. On TikTok, she operates under the username “sydeon_” and has garnered over 32k followers. Her Twitter account boasts an even more impressive following, with over 248k followers.

Additionally, Sydeon maintains a YouTube channel where she uploads highlights from her live streams and occasional vlogs. This multi-platform approach not only diversifies her income streams but also ensures she remains relevant in the ever-evolving digital landscape.

Conclusion

Sydeon’s rise in the streaming world is a testament to her dedication, adaptability, and connection with her audience. With a net worth of $250,000 in 2023, she stands as a shining example of how passion, when combined with strategic decisions, can lead to substantial success. As the digital realm continues to grow, there’s no doubt that Sydeon’s star will shine even brighter in the coming years.

Mariah Carey Sued Over “All I Want For Christmas Is You”

November 1, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Mariah Carey is facing a lawsuit over her iconic holiday hit, “All I Want For Christmas Is You.” According to court documents obtained by The Blast, Andy Stone and Troy Powers are seeking $20 million from the singer for alleged copyright infringement. It’s the duo’s second attempt at suing Carey for the accused infringement after their similar case was dismissed last year.

Carey originally released the classic song on her 1994 album Merry Christmas. In the decades since, it’s become a staple of the holiday season. It’s reached the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 every year since 2017. In Stone and Powers’ legal case, Stone argues that Carey infringed upon his 1989 song “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” which he released under his artist name, Vince Vance and the Valiants. He argues: “Melody, lyrics, feel, when you combine these three elements and base your derivative copy on something that is more alike than dislike, it is those substantial similarities that will upon closer inspection reveal the truth of Plaintiffs’ claim of infringement.”

The two further claim that “Carey has, without licensing, palmed off these works with her incredulous origin story, as if those works were her own. Her hubris knowing no bounds, even her co-credited songwriter doesn’t believe the story she has spun. This is simply a case of actionable infringement.”

With the lawsuit, they hope to land a temporary injunction to prevent or restrain infringement and misappropriation of their copyrights and exclusive ownership interests. They also hope to impound all copies of the alleged infringing work, while seeking a final injunction to prevent or restrain further alleged infringement and misappropriation, and $20 million in damages. Be on the lookout for further updates on their case on HotNewHipHop.

Chingy Joins Sexyy Red Onstage: Watch

November 1, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Sexyy Red invited a very special guest to join her onstage at one of her recent hometown shows. She brought out none other than Chingy, who performed his Jackpot hit “Right Thurr,” much to fans’ excitement. The “Pound Town” performer took the opportunity to show off some of her dance moves as the crowd cheered them on. The St. Louis native had her baby bump on full display as he serenaded her with the early-2000s staple.

Chingy wasn’t the only special guest to join Sexyy at her hometown show, however. She also invited DaBaby onstage for a performance of “Shake Sumn REMIX.” Clearly, Sexyy Red wanted to go all out for her fellow Missourians, and it’s safe to say that they weren’t disappointed. While she only continues to gain attention for her unique sound and high-profile collabs, Sexyy Red has garnered quite a few haters on the way to the top.

A post shared by The Shade Room (@theshaderoom)

While most find her carefree lyrics to be refreshing, they’re a bit too explicit for some. Some of Sexyy’s peers have been pretty vocal about their distaste for her music, most recently, Khia. The “My Neck, My Back” performer responded to some fans comparing her to the “SkeeYee” rapper, making it extremely clear that she feels as though they’re nothing alike. She appeared to throw a few jabs at the 26-year-old in the process, prompting a response.

When Sexyy Red wrote her off as a “hater,” however, it only sparked an even more heated response from Khia. “Your a** is being charged with not being ashamed of your God d**n self. Doing h*e s**t then being mad about it. Being a deadbeat mama, a deadbeat daddy, a deadbeat daughter, and a deadbeat Young Thug lookalike,” she said in a clip. Regardless, it looks like Sexyy Red continues to live her best life, with the countless fans she does have. What do you think of Chingy joining Sexyy Red onstage? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.
