Bryson Tiller Builds On “SLUM TILLER” Series With “VOL. 3”

January 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Bryson Tiller continues his nice run as of late, coming through with a handful of new tracks for your weekly rotation. If you remember, albums used to drop on Tuesdays. Now, we all know Friday is the day. But, the Louisville, Kentucky multi-hyphenate is bringing the old tradition back with “Tiller Tuesdays.” The now-31-year-old Bryson is delivering on that promise once more with SLUM TILLER VOL. 3.

This also follows up on the series of short EPs he began back in late August of 2023. The trio of volumes brings the total track count to 14 now. Before these new songs, Bryson put out the second installment about two months ago, as well as two singles “Lost Intro” and “Sex You Up” with Patoranking. Those appear to be building a separate tape named after the Tuesday-themed drops.

Listen To SLUM TILLER VOL. 3 By Bryson Tiller

VOL. 3 delivers four new cuts with Big Sean and the second appearance from Che Ecru. There is a nice mixture here in terms of the direction of each track. Bryson and Sean bring a more lyrically-focused cut. PSP sees the T R A P S O U L creator as a straight banger. “Slumdog Interlude” is more of a spacey vibe. Finally, “Night Cap” is a melodic expedition that works to perfection with a nice guitar-backed instrumental. Tiller still has plenty to deliver and it is good to see him active again.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new EP, SLUM TILLER VOL. 3, by Bryson Tiller? Is this the best installment in the series so far, why or why not? What track from VOL. 3 is your favorite and why?

Rick Ross Claims Tia Kemp Had Botched Plastic Surgery, In Response To Her Cease And Desist Rant

January 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The ongoing feud between Mississippi rapper Rick Ross and his ex/baby mama, Tia Kemp, is heating up again. MMG’s label head and entrepreneur savant sent over a cease and desist to her a couple of days ago. It was a byproduct of multiple verbal and defamatory attacks toward his new girl, Cristina Mackey. Of course, Tia was not happy about receiving that paperwork. So, she went on a ruthless rant.

She called Ross out for not being able to deal with his beefs that involve 50 Cent and DJ Envy. It went pretty viral and Rozay now has something to say back. Hollywood Unlocked broke down the commentary from the rapper and there is a scathing remark or two thrown in there. Ross said in response, “We all gotta imagine what [Tia]’s going through. She’s going through a lot. Her mother, who’s a 30-year reoccurring crack addict, she’s back addicted, and Tia’s dealing with it. She not living with Tia.” He continues, “Tia say moms [is] with the sister that has a job. They don’t have the best relationship, but she’s helping her mom, and Tia’s helping her mom.”

Rick Ross Wants Tia Kemp To Get It All Out… Maybe?

He did show some grace by wishing Tia’s mother the best. Ross also wants his ex to feel she can express herself and that is the reason why he “won’t cut her IG page off or none of that.” However, he still put Tia’s family’s personal life out in the world. If that was not petty enough Ross took it a step further. “Tia’s sister Ebony told me about that botched surgery, but you’re gonna get over it, you’re gonna heal. I ain’t gonna lie, we laughed about that for a little while.” Surely, Tia will respond to this, so stay tapped in with us for any developing details.

What Is Willow Smith’s Best-Selling Song?

January 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Willow Smith broke into the music scene at the young age of 10 in 2010. Since then, the singer has slowly but surely built an impressive career, growing more popular with each passing year. Now 23 years old, Smith has released five solo studio albums, and several viral sleeper hits. Her musical journey, marked by experimentation and artistic evolution, has been praised by fans and critics alike. Despite her niche sound, her music has connected to many, and that’s a testament to her undeniable talent. However, despite recent success with tracks like “Wait a Minute!,” and “Transparent Soul,” Willow is yet to spawn a hit as big as her debut.

The Birth Of A Rockstar

A post shared by ∴ W ∴ (@willowsmith)

Before 2010, the world only knew Willow Smith as the daughter of power couple Will and Jada Pinkett Smith. However, that was the year Willow began to carve out a name for herself, and create her own path in the entertainment industry. With unparalleled energy and a sound that defied her young age, Willow Smith announced herself to the world with her debut single, “Whip My Hair.” While she will always be regarded as Will and Jada’s daughter, she is now also recognized as a stellar musician. Since then, the singer and songwriter has grown to become one of the coolest rockstars around.

“Whip My Hair”: An Infectious Anthem

Over a decade after it dropped, “Whip My Hair” remains a bop, and Willow’s most commercially successful song. Released on October 26, 2010, the song showcased her impressive vocal prowess and staggering level of confidence. Its catchy hook and empowering lyrics struck a chord with listeners, and quickly turned the singer into a young icon. The accompanying music video, featuring Willow whipping her hair to the rhythm, became an instant sensation.

Considering its massive commercial appeal, it was no surprise that “Whip My Hair” appeared on charts around the world. It almost broke into the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100. Unfortunately, it missed the mark by one position, peaking at number 11. While Willow Smith has had a handful of songs appear on the Hot 100 since then, “Whip My Hair” remains her highest-charting song to date.

Likewise, the overall sales of “Whip My Hair” are yet to be topped by any other Willow Smith song. Over the years, a few tracks have come close, but so far, the singer’s debut single has retained the “best-selling” crown. In the US, it has sold over three million units, earning it a 3x Platinum certification from RIAA. No other song in Willow’s catalog has achieved this feat in the US. The closest is “Wait a Minute!,” which is certified 2x Platinum. “Whip My Hair” is also certified Silver in the United Kingdom for 200,000 units sold, and Gold in Canada for 40,000 units. Finally, 70,000 units sold in Australia have earned it a Platinum certification there.

Another Willow Smith Is Creeping Up

Interestingly, another Willow Smith song has “Whip My Hair” beat in terms of worldwide certifications. “Wait A Minute!” has bagged certifications in eight countries, while “Whip My Hair” only has certifications from four. However, the US sales of “Whip My Hair” significantly contribute to making its overall sales outweigh that of “WaitAa Minute!” In a few years, “Whip My Hair” may be dethroned by “Wait a Minute!” However, for now, in terms of overall units sold, it reigns supreme as the best-selling song by the singer.

An Enduring Statement Piece

Since 2010, Willow Smith has showcased the undeniable talent and fearless spirit of a young artist destined for greatness. The success of “Whip My Hair” not only marked her arrival on the music scene, but also set the stage for her subsequent artistic endeavors. It laid the foundation for an eclectic and boundary-pushing career that has continued to evolve over the years.

Finesse2tymes On Why He Sold The Same Verse Twice: “This A Business”

January 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Finesse2tymes has taken to social media to explain why he ended up selling the same verse to two separate artists. He says one of them failed to pay for the proper clearance of the track and simply put it out anyway. In turn, Finesse2tymes decided to sell the verse to another artist.

“You can’t get mad if I wanna sell my product to somebody else that you ain’t paid for,” he argued. “You know what I’m saying? Like, if you ain’t paid for it and he paid for it. He paid to get it clear. I can do what I wanna do with my verse. How you gonna tell me what I can, what I can’t do with my verse? When you go buy a verse, every rapper, every independent rapper, every up-and-coming rapper, everybody that know me, you know what I’m saying? They know I f*ck with them. I work with budgets and everything. You know what I’m saying? I might want 50, 60, you know what I’m saying, for the verse. You from the street, I might tell you man, ‘Give me 30.’”

From there, he adds: “But this also a business. This a business. So, you know, if you gonna come get you a verse in a video, you gotta make sure you take care of the business side too. You can’t just do the verse in the video and then put it out. That ain’t how it go. You gotta pay me for the clearance too. You can’t just put the video and the song out. So, basically if you don’t pay for the clearance, you really can’t even put it out.” Check out the full explanation below.

Finesse2tymes Explains How Two Artists Ended Up With The Same Verse

The drama began when TG Kommas came out to say he paid for a verse from Finesse2tymes for his song, “Can’t Pay For It,” but noticed the verse already appears on Fastmoney Ant’s track “All I Want.” Be on the lookout for further updates on Finesse2tymes on HotNewHipHop.
