Auto-crooner and rapper Lil Tecca came through with his first project in nearly two years with TEC. It followed up his two part series We Love You Tecca from 2021. While the Queens, New York product was not saying or doing anything starkly different compared to previous releases there were a good deal of tracks that stuck. Additionally, there were some notable features.
Tecca brought on Kodak Black for some killer melodies on “HVN ON EARTH.” The vocal chipmunk vocal chops that make up the hook were fantastic. Of course, how can you forget about 500lbs? One of his best songs ever, he busted some terrific flows that just stuck.
Well, to bring back some hype around the record, the 21-year-old is back with a bonus version. This comes nearly four months after TEC‘s initial release. Lil Tecca only brings one song into the fray, bringing the total to 17. “Down With Me” is more of a slow jam that sees him reflect on the stages of becoming a famous artist. Check out the add-on with the links above.
What are your thoughts on this brand-new deluxe version of Lil Tecca’s album TEC? Do you think releasing one extra track was worth it, or should it have been a single? Does the song detract or add to the original tracklist? Is this record still in your rotation and if so what cuts? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your hottest takes in the comments section below. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Lil Tecca.

In a surprising turn of events, Kid Cudi has taken a step towards reconciliation, extending an apology to Lupe Fiasco after their recent public spat on social media. As HNHH previously reported, Kid Cudi offered an apology to Lupe Fiasco earlier today. Cudi expressed regret and a desire for resolution, emphasizing the brevity of life and urging for a way to move past the conflict. However, it didn’t appear to be enough for Fiasco. Cudi’s initial tweet read, “Love u g. Im sorry if i hurt u man. Life is too short. Hope u can find it in ur heart to get past this,” accompanied by an acknowledgment that he had sent a direct message to Lupe.
Moreover, the gesture, seemingly heartfelt, indicates Cudi’s willingness to mend bridges and move forward. Lupe Fiasco initially responded with a concise “All I needed,” hinting at the potential for reconciliation. However, in a subsequent tweet, he expressed the complex emotions he felt upon receiving the apology, admitting that despite a moment of release, the desire to settle the matter physically still lingered. Fiasco later tweeted, “This lying a** bitch a** nigga… Aight…” And many were left puzzled. The exchange escalated when Kid Cudi requested Lupe to refrain from using derogatory language, emphasizing his approach with love and sharing the DM he had sent. Cudi also expressed his commitment to resolving the issue and stated his intention to talk with Lupe the following day.
I thought him apologizing would help. But it didn’t. Because I gave up on that happening years ago. So when he said it. I had a moment of release. Then when I looked at how he said. I felt that I still wanna beat his ass on sight. https://t.co/kbu4Oc1Jpo
You tryna to come years later with this peace shit, half apologize. Nigga you could have settled this years ago with a simple phone call. Now you ain’t got the room after the due date. Nigga you will always be a bitch to me. I just want to hear that… https://t.co/LQwmLDfA9e
Lupe’s response, however, was unyielding as he questioned Cudi’s sincerity, challenging the timing of the peace offering and accusing him of attempting a half-hearted apology years later. The tweets unveiled the deep-seated animosity between the two artists, with Lupe insisting on hearing a direct apology before considering any resolution. “Or what b**ch a** n**ga? You tryna to come years later with this peace s**t, half apologize. N***a you could have settled this years ago with a simple phone call. Now you ain’t got the room after the due date. Ni**a you will always be a b**ch to me. I just want to hear that apology from your mouth then you can kick rocks. Every n**ga I know you know think you a b**ch too. This ain’t nothing new.”
The ongoing drama took a new turn with the revelation of an interview where Kid Cudi discussed his new album INSANO. Cudi opened up about his creative inspiration, including a transformative experience at a Kendrick Lamar live show. However, he also shared a story about hiding from Lupe Fiasco during his early days at a Bape store in New York. This revelation triggered a Twitter storm from Lupe, reigniting their years-long beef. Despite the renewed tension, Kid Cudi, in a series of tweets, seemed determined to rise above the negativity, expressing regret and reaching out for a private conversation to settle their differences. The hip-hop community waits to witness the next chapter in this evolving saga.
