November 30, 2023 by newhiphopnews

K Suave has been making waves but recently, he made headlines after he was caught kissing Chrisean Rock. At this point, the nature of their relationship remains unclear. However, the Ohio-based artist has certainly established a name for himself outside of his supposed relationship with Chrisean Rock. He’s associated with Trippie Redd’s 1400/800 crew, gaining recognition for his unique blend of cloud rap and trap music. His unique style is characterized by melodious rapping and singing set against equally captivating instrumentals.

Early Beginnings & Musical Journey

K Suave’s musical journey traces back to his early uploads on SoundCloud around 2014, with his earliest visible track, “Big Body,” released in November 2017. However, much of his earlier works have been removed from public access. His breakthrough arrived in 2019 when the music video for “Remix?” debuted on the 1400 800 GANG YouTube channel, a platform spearheaded by Trippie Redd that features music videos from the 1400/800 collective. The video rapidly gained traction, amassing over 75,000 views, marking a turning point in K Suave’s burgeoning career.

Artistic Style & Collaborations

His musical style, characterized by its melodic and lyrical prowess, has earned him recognition within the genre, especially with the release of his project, Sexually Active. His association with Trippie Redd’s crew has paved the way for collaborations and performances alongside notable artists. Suave’s collaborations with fellow rapper D Savage have resulted in multiple joint ventures. These offerings strongly indicated a productive synergy between the two artists. Additionally, his singles and appearances on projects such as “Blood On The Opps” with Ely Nash and features on Trippie Redd’s mixtape Hate Is Dead have further solidified his presence in the rap scene.

Cristiano Ronaldo Hit With $1B Lawsuit For Promoting Binance NFTs

November 30, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Cristiano Ronaldo has been named in a $1 billion class-action lawsuit filed against the soccer star over his role in promoting NFTs for the embattled Binance cryptocurrency platform. The lawsuit, filed in Florida, claims that Ronaldo’s promotion of Binance was “deceptive and unlawful” and led people to make costly and unsafe investments. Ronaldo is just the latest celebrity to be sued over their endorsement of NFTs.

“Evidence now reveals that Binance’s fraud was only able to reach such heights through the offer and sale of unregistered securities, with the willing help and assistance of some of the wealthiest, powerful and recognized organizations and celebrities across the globe — just like Defendant Ronaldo,” the suit reads. Binance is currently under federal investigation for a litany of charges. In short, a years-long DoJ investigation has found that Binance and its top execs willfully ignored US law will knowingly allowing “bad actors” to use the crypto exchange. Charges include money laundering, operating an unlicensed money-transmitting business, and ignoring US sanctions.

Cristiano Ronaldo Could Be Lashed If He Returns To Iran

However, this is not the first legal trouble that Ronaldo has found himself in this year. In October, Ronaldo was reportedly sentenced to 99 lashings in Iran over adultery charges. Ronaldo was Iran in September for an Asian Champions League match. While there, he was seen hugging Iranian painter Fatima Hamimi after she gifted him two paintings. According to Iranian law, it is a criminal offense to touch another woman while in a relationship. However, some outlets have noted that he could be pardoned if he expresses remorse for his actions.

Despite this, Ronaldo is not currently scheduled to play in Iran for the rest of the season. However, the possibility does remain. Two Iranian teams can still qualify for the knockout rounds of the AFC Champions League. If Al-Nassr was to draw either Sepahan or Persepolis, they would have to play a game in Iran. That could lead to an uncomfortable standoff over Ronaldo’s past transgressions.

November 30, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Andre 3000 has recently made music history with his latest venture, the flute album New Blue Sun. The chart-topping single, “I Swear, I Really Wanted to Make a ‘Rap’ Album But This Is Literally the Way the Wind Blew Me This Time,” has propelled the former OutKast member to unprecedented heights, securing his place in the record books as the longest-running song ever on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

The Longest-Running Song Ever

Andre 3000 has achieved a groundbreaking feat on Billboard with his latest flute album, New Blue Sun.

The album’s chart-topping single, “I Swear, I Really Wanted to Make a ‘Rap’ Album But This Is Literally the Way the Wind Blew Me This Time,” has propelled the “Ms. Jackson” rapper into the history books, becoming the longest-running song ever to hit the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

— Hip Hop By The Numbers (@HipHopNumbers) November 27, 2023

The 12-minute and 20-second epic has entered the Billboard Hot 100 chart at No. 90, solidifying its place as a record-breaking hit.

Andre’s First-Ever Solo Album

Users on Twitter (X) reacted to Andre 3000 breaking a Billboard record.

One user named @Herr1ngway commented, “Bro said nothing like literally spoke zero words and still made history.” Another user named @15acoall commented, “This is f*cking mind blowing man.” The previous record-holder for the longest-running song on the Billboard Hot 100 chart was Tool’s 2019 single “Fear Inoculum,” which had a runtime of 10 minutes and 21 seconds.

Andre 3000’s achievement surpasses this record and marks his first-ever solo album to reach No. 1 on the charts since OutKast’s 2006 release, Idlewild.

Updated By: Chris Samuel (11/30/23 at 4:12 pm)

Andre 3000 Returns With Mind-Bending Debut Solo Album

After a 17-year hiatus, Andre 3000 is poised for a comeback with his debut solo album, New Blue Sun. The album departs from rap, focusing on the legendary OutKast member’s flute-playing skills and boasting eight tracks.

‘New Blue Sun’

Andre 3000 is making a comeback after 17 years with a debut solo album titled New Blue Sun.

Set for release on November 17, New Blue Sun was announced on Nov. 14 on Andre’s Instagram page. The album, however, will not be a rap album, but the artist/songwriter will play the flute and have eight tracks on it.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CzoC6aBuZrN/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

New Blue Sun will be co-produced by Andre 3000 and features the playing instrumentalists Nate Mercereau, Surya Botofasina, Deantoni Parks, Diego Gaeta, Matthewdavid, V.C.R., Diego Gaeta, Jesse Peterson, and Mia Doi Todd.

Andre 3000 Gets Candid About The Upcoming Album

In a recent interview with NPR’s All Songs Considered podcast, Andre 3000 shared his inspiration and fascination with wind instruments:

“I’ve been interested in winds for a long time, so it was just a natural progression for me to go into flutes,” André says. “I just like messing with instruments and I gravitated mostly toward wind.”

Exploring this passion, he embraces the flute on New Blue Sun, utilizing various wind instruments such as a digital wind instrument, a Maya flute, and others made of wood and bamboo.

While New Blue Sun deviates from rap, Andre 3000 reassures fans that he hasn’t abandoned the genre. He expressed his desire to eventually release a rap album but emphasized the importance of finding an interesting and appealing way to articulate his thoughts at this career stage:

“There’s this misconception that I just won’t do it,” André says of releasing a rap record. “I think people feel like I’m sitting around on rap albums, or sitting around and I’m just not putting them out in that way. And no it’s not like that.” He continues: “In my mind, I really would like to make a rap album. So maybe that happens one day, but I got to find a way to say what I want to say in an interesting way that’s appealing to me at this age.

Andre Plays ‘New Blue Sun’ For Frank Ocean & Tyler, The Creator

Andre 3000 also shared that he recently played the album for Tyler, The Creator and Frank Ocean at Tyler’s house and wanted to see how a younger audience feels about an older rapper making a non-rap album.

“I wanted to see how a younger audience would perceive it… I reached out to Tyler [the Creator] for him to check it out and I went to his house. “Frank [Ocean] just happened to drop by [too]…,” Andre 3000 said.

Andre 3000 also mentioned that Tyler was inspired by it and Frank liked several of the songs. Users on Twitter (X) reacted to the news of Andre 3000’s new album.

One user named @goodlife_al commented “This sh*it about to be weird as hell but I’ma still listen,” and one other user named @encrypted_bml commented “ I have a feeling this is about to be Fire. Andree don’t put out crap music.”

Other users felt differently as @ewalknotewok commented, “People have been waiting for almost 2 decades for a new 3 stacks album and ole boy is putting out a flute record, no verses. Elite level trolling.”

Andre Back On The Map

Andre 3000 has not released music since he and his OutKast partner, Big Boi released their album, Idlewild, in 2006. The Atlanta artist will look to have his seventh overall album go platinum, with the other six being all with OutKast.

In addition, Andre’s announcement of a new album was hinted at by Atlanta rapper and friend of Andre, Killer Mike. In June 2023, Killer Mike said Andre 3000 had an album in the works but later revealed that he was joking about him having a new album.

‘Blockbusta’

Another rap legend is preparing to make a splash in the realm of upcoming album releases. Busta Rhymes recently announced that his album, Blockbusta, will be released on November 24. Production on the album will come from Swizz Beatz, Timbaland, and Pharrell Williams.

Boosie Badazz Threatens To Take Rod Wave To Court After He Fails To ‘Pull Up’ On Him

Something About Jay-Z’s ‘The Book Of HOV’ Auction Sure Makes It Look Like He’s Planning A New Album

November 30, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Jay-Z has sparked speculation over whether the rapper might have a new album on the way. The theories started through his The Book Of HOV exhibit auction in the Brooklyn Public Library, according to People Magazine. He had a depiction for each of his 13 albums, but there was an empty spot for a 14th one — which could very well get filled soon.

In the photo of the raffle item, it was a signed leather case that had each of the albums printed as commemorative library cards. Yet, there is a clear gap after his 4:44 album, raising questions about why that was left empty. (13 is also an odd number, so maybe they just wanted even rows.)

However, Jay-Z has also discussed that he would need to return on his terms, according to an interview he did with Gayle King.

“I’ll say I wanna make music, but it has to be something important,” Jay-Z told King when asked about new music. “I don’t wanna just make a bunch of tunes. That’s not gonna serve me. It won’t feed me, first of all. I have to be saying something important. It has to mean something, you know? It has to mean something to a larger society.”

T.I. Regrets Gucci Mane Reconciliation Not Happening Sooner

November 30, 2023 by newhiphopnews

For fans of the Atlanta trap scene- or rap in general, at this point- the feud between T.I. and Gucci Mane should come as no surprise. For those unaware, though, a brief history: back in 2012, Gucci and Jeezy were also at odds, with Tip siding firmly with the latter. Then, Guwop took shots at his Atlanta trap predecessor, which he dodged by deeming him as unimportant, and later claimed that he invented trap music, which T.I. was obviously quick to correct. Furthermore, a couple more shots were fired, there were some more claims and side-taking, but things died down a little bit in the coming years.

As such, it was a welcome and heartening surprise when the two rappers patched things up at Gucci Mane’s Breath Of Fresh Air album release party in October of this year in their home city. However, T.I. thinks that they should’ve landed on this bread-breaking way sooner. Moreover, he reflected on this with DJ Whoo Kid on his podcast Whoo’s House last week (at press time). While the Trap Muzik icon doesn’t necessarily see it as a thing to “make up” over, he did acknowledge that they let things go too far in their beef.

T.I. Reflects On Patching Things Up With Gucci Mane: Watch

“I don’t know what you mean by ‘made up;’ you make up with a girlfriend,” T.I. told the host, which could’ve been a joke or a serious issue with how the story is framed. Regardless, he went on to speak briefly but earnestly about his mended relationship with Gucci Mane. “We both enjoyed ourselves, I think, you know what I’m saying? Something that we probably should’ve did a while ago.” Check out Tip’s remarks on the matter at the 5:30 mark of the video above.

Meanwhile, he was one of many people who praised the reconciliation between Gucci and Jeezy back in 2020. With that and other examples, we know that the 43-year-old always puts the past behind him, as long as folks deserve it. Hopefully we hear more stories like these instead of further instances of rappers turning against each other. On that note, stick around on HNHH for the latest news and updates on T.I. and Gucci Mane.

Keri Hilson Recalls Nearly “Scrapping” With Teairra Mari, She Fires Back

November 30, 2023 by newhiphopnews

During her recent appearance on the R&B Money podcast, Keri Hilson reflected on a time when a fellow artist wasn’t willing to show her love at one of her performances. According to the songstress, the unnamed woman came as a guest to one of Hilson’s close friends, and ended up in the front row. Unfortunately, she didn’t appear to be feeling the show, which rubbed Hilson the wrong way.

She explained how later in the evening, her friend and his guest dropped by her dressing room, where she chose to address the situation. The encounter got ugly, however, and Hilson claims it nearly resulted in them getting into a fight. “When you’re a performer, you know we know how important it is to give love to other performers,” she explained. “I had to say something.”

“So when they came to my dressing room backstage, I said something and we almost got to scrapping.” Hilson went on, explaining how she thought the woman was being “intentionally rude” by refusing to show any enthusiasm. “Like you want to get slapped, that’s how I felt,” she noted. While Hilson didn’t call the woman out by name at any point in the interview, some suspected that she was referring to Teairra Mari. Mari appeared to confirm this in the comments section of The Neighborhood Talk, threatening to “whoop” Hilson’s “a**” in the process.

“Y’all, people gotta leave me alone. I don’t bother anybody, just leave me the f*** alone.! so now, Keri! what’s up you wanna fight or do you not want to fight because I’m gonna whoop your a** when I see you I’m sick of you people bothering me! You had a whole different story when I was in your face you’re a liar b*tch!!” she wrote. What do you think of Keri Hilson’s account of nearly getting into a fight with Teairra Mari? Would you have felt the same way? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

21 Savage Honored By Arsenal FC

November 30, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Arsenal FC honored 21 Savage as the British-born rapper took in the team’s game in the Champions League. Arsenal presented Savage with a custom #21 Savage jersey. The #21 jersey is currently worn by Fábio Vieira, who joined the Gunners from Porto in 2022. After the game, Savage also linked up with Emil Smith Rowe, Arsenal’s 23-year-old midfielder. Also following the game, the Emirates Stadium made sure to play Savage’s bar from “Circo Loco” about the team winning the Premier League.

Savage couldn’t have picked a better game to attend. Arsenal dismantled French side Lens, scoring six goals to officially win their Champions League group. However, Arsenal have one more match in the group stage. The Gunners travel to the Netherlands to face second-place PSV in mid-December. Furthermore, Arsenal currently sits at the top of the Premier League. A late goal at away against Brentford over the weekend moved them one point clear of Manchester City.

21 Savage Performs First London Concert

The visit to the Emirates served as the lead-in for what will be Savage’s first show in the English capital. Immigration issues over the last few years meant that Savage, despite being born in the UK, couldn’t leave the US. If he had, there would have been grounds to deport, and even potentially detain, him. However, Savage was finally able to secure his green card, allowing him to travel back to the UK and the wider expanse of Europe.

However, Savage is expected back in the US next month. December 21 is “21 Savage Day” in Atlanta and ever since the holiday was declared, Savage has always made an effort to bring some holiday cheer to the city. Before that, he still has several stops on his European tour to make. Have you seen Savage in concert this year? Let us know what you thought in the comments below.

The Game’s Sexual Assault Accuser Claims He’s Only Paid $500K Of $7M Judgement

November 30, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The Game’s 44th birthday recently came and went, an occasion that actually had him feeling quite emotional over his love for his daughter, Cali. However, that celebration quickly became a point that shielded him from other issues in his legal life. Moreover, Priscilla Rainey- who accused the rapper of sexual assault back in 2015- claims that he’s only paid $500K of the $7 million judgement that the court entitled her to. This is according to court documents reportedly obtained by Radar Online, and the incident itself dates back to his VH1 dating show She’s Got Game. At that point, the California MC allegedly sexually abused her, claims which he has denied for almost a decade at this point.

Furthermore, this claim of innocence fueled The Game and his manager Wack 100 to eschew payments to Rainey. For those unaware, this case led to a failure to get her lump sum in the lawsuit, but still won the $7 million judgement. After this failure for Rainey to reimburse and a dismissed motion for a new trial, she reportedly gained access to royalties from his album Born 2 Rap and ownership of his independent label, Prolific Records. Wack stood by the claim that he still owns those royalties, whereas his client’s often said in interviews that he doesn’t plan on coughing this dough up.

Not only that, but back in 2021, Priscilla Rainey motioned to access his revenue from The Game and Wack 100’s alleged “shell companies,” and accused her alleged abuser of committing fraud by flip-flopping money, finances, and asset rights between these businesses and his management. ““To date, after years of multi-state litigation to discover and executive on [his] assets, Rainey has collected approximately $500,000.00 on the $7,130,100.00 Judgment, which is exclusive of interest and costs,” her attorney expressed via written statement in her latest motion’s filing.

“[Wack 100] and [The Game] conspired together to transfer and conceal [The Game’s] assets by transferring them among themselves and shell companies under their control,” the motion continued. “No one need guess about [their] intent to not pay the Judgment owed by [him] to Rainey, as they have made it abundantly clear in various social media posts that they never intend to pay a dime to Rainer on her judgment.” Earlier this year, she seemed to also try to use Universal Music Group to seize these assets and finances. A trial to settle this debt will commence later in December, if the schedule remains. For more news and the latest updates on The Game, come back to HNHH.
