Kid Cudi & Young Thug Are The “RAGER BOYZ” On “INSANO” Album Cut: Stream

by

Kid Cudi’s long-awaited album INSANO is finally here, and there are lots of woozy bangers, psychedelic jams, and dreamy croons to take note of. Another killer part of this album are the featured guests, including Travis Scott, A$AP Rocky, Lil Wayne, and more. However, perhaps none shine brighter than Young Thug on the track “RAGER BOYZ,” as the two creatives show off ridiculous vocal chemistry and their ability to pair an instrumental so well with their vocal performances. It’s a guitar-led, low-key, melodic, and subtle trap cut about hopelessness, chaos, and struggle in the world, one whose catchiness and atmosphere doesn’t sully its message.

A big part of that is the news item on “RAGER BOYZ,” as Thugger seemingly addressed his YSL RICO case on this verse. Of course, that’s quite unlikely given how difficult it must’ve been to record a new verse from behind bars. In reality, it’s probably just a coincidence that rings eerily true today as we await what else will happen in the turbulent and confusing court battle. Elsewhere, though, Kid Cudi also comes through with some despondent bars, although his perseverance to fight back against it is the main takeaway. Also, this may seem insignificant in the grand scheme of the song, but it’s always great when a producer (Cudder, Anthony Kilhoffer, Dot Da Genius, THATS NOT IT, and Jean Baptiste, in this case) changes the timbre of certain drum patterns to switch up the beat.

Meanwhile, folks are still dissecting INSANO‘s content, lyrical references, and flow. Whether it’s the sample of an old XXXTENTACION track or Rocky’s apparent response to Drake’s alleged disses against him and Rihanna, there’s plenty to chew on here. But don’t let “RAGER BOYZ” fall under that radar. If you haven’t heard it or the album yet, find it on your preferred streaming service and peep some standout bars below.

Quotable Lyrics
I told the judge, “I’m probably the biggest off,”
I told the b***h she can’t be charging me for Saint Laurent,
Yeah, I told my baby not to break the law,
I told my baby mama, “Careful”, not to get involved

Detroit Lions Fan Eminem Has An Urgent Message For LA Rams’ Matthew Stafford Ahead Of Wild Card Round

Eminem isn’t afraid to hit folks with a cease and desist letter to protect his intellectual property. Sadly for him, legally, there’s nothing he can do to tip the scales in favor of the Detroit Lions. As a native of the Motor City, Eminem is putting all his faith into his beloved team to bring the Vince Lombardi Trophy home.

On January 14, ahead of the Rams and Lions showdown for the NFL’s wild card round, the notorious introvert decided to step into the social media waters to share an urgent message aimed at the Los Angeles Rams quarterback, Matthew Stafford. “Stafford, what’d I say,” he said in the video clip. “You owe me this favor, bro. I was there for you when you won it. I was there for you. I was right there. I rapped for you, Stafford. Bro, I rapped for you!”

With Stafford being a former Lions player, Eminem seems to hope the video would pull at his heartstrings. Ultimately, wishing Stafford would go easy on the franchise during the January 14 game. Typically, the team and Super Bowl hopefuls are words you’d use in the same sentence. However, after the team managed to win its first division in 30 years, Lions fans like Eminem are praying for a miracle.

The Detroit Lions and Los Angeles Rams game is set to begin at 8:15 pm Eastern. Find more information here.

Doja Cat Seemingly Teases New Tracklist

by

Doja Cat has dropped a cryptic Instagram post appearing to indicate that she may have new music on the way. The image showed a whiteboard title “S2” with the following list: Acknowledge Me, Head High, Gang, Masc, Rider, URRRGE!!!!, and Hungry. Most commenters have taken “S2” to mean either Scarlet 2 or a Scarlet Deluxe Edition.

After a viral marketing campaign, Doja dropped Scarlet in September 2023. It served as a “masculine” follow-up to 2022’s Planet Her, inspired by Doja’s growing disillusionment with the music industry. Preceded by the singles “Paint the Town Red” and “Demons”, Scarlet was Doja’s first project since 2014’s Purrr! to have no features. Scarlet peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard Album 200. Scarlet did not receive any Grammy nods. However, “Paint the Town Red” and “Attention” received one and two nominations respectively.

Doja Cat Declares “Say So” A “Cash Grab”

Meanwhile, Doja has become more and more aggressive about her disdain towards her fans. During a 2023 show in Denver, Doja made a shocking declaration on stage. The rapper called her hit single “Say So” to be a “cash grab”. It’s not the first time that Doja has derided her previous work. “Planet her and hot pink were cash-grabs and yall fell for it.” In a follow-up post, she added: “Now i can go disappear somewhere and touch grass with my loved ones on an island while yall weep for mediocre pop,” the rapper declared on Twitter. As mentioned, much of Doja’s attitude stems from the way the industry spoke about her following Planet Her.

However, “Say So” was certainly a very successful “cash grab”, if that’s what Doja really believes. It picked up both Record of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance and the 63rd Grammys. Furthermore, it spent one week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in May of 2020. Despite all this, it’s clear that Doja is not done speaking on her past work.

Kali Uchis & Jhene Aiko Update Our “R&B Season” Playlist With Grace: Stream

by

Our R&B Season playlist is back with another update, rounding up some of the best new music that releases this week. Moreover, when it comes to more soulful releases, there was one big album that we can’t go any longer without mentioning: Kali Uchis’ new album ORQUÍDEAS. Two specific tracks that go great together off this gorgeous project actually dropped as a joint music video the day before the record dropped: “Tu Corazón Es Mío / Diosa.” What’s more is that the Colombian-Virginian artist used this visual to officially announce that she and Don Toliver are expecting a child together. Congratulations to the happy couple!

Elsewhere on our R&B Season update, we also shouted out the newest offering from Jhené Aiko, “Sun/Son.” It’s a vocally wondrous cut with a lot of layered harmonies, syncopated chants, and comfortingly warm piano and synth keys that will calm you down. Complimenting this all is a sultry and steady drum beat with crisp rimshots that sit comfortably in the back of the mix. However, the name of the game is the Chilombo star’s captivating performance, as she fills in the empty spaces of this song with a lot of passion and with dynamic range.

HNHH R&B Season Playlist: Stream

Meanwhile, another highlight on R&B Season this week comes courtesy of The Book Of Clarence‘s soundtrack, on which the film’s director Jeymes Samuel worked extensively. Furthermore, he and Jorja Smith crafted another impassioned, orchestral, and grand piece with “Champagne,” soulfully bringing a slow funkiness to the collection. Another standouvt drama-tinged anthem is “best thing for me” by Samaria, which brings the tempo even further down. It’s a great mix of a traditional smooth R&B swing with soaring guitars, a high-pitched vocal display with plenty of personality, and whimsical chimes.

Last but not least, Ariana Grande is officially and finally back with her ’80s and dance-inspired single, “yes, and?” After resolving some relationship drama in 2023, we can’t wait to see what the pop darling brings this year. Let us know in the comments what your favorite R&B Season pick was this week– and what else we missed, too. Check out the playlist above and, as always, come back to HNHH for more amazing music releases around the clock.

Kodak Black Gifts Mother Of His Daughter $100K & Range Rover From Behind Bars

by

Kodak Black may face a lot of legal trouble right now on drug charges, but he’s still making sure to support his family on the other side. Moreover, a video recently surfaced of a member of his team relaying some gifts from him to the mother of his daughter: $100,000 and a brand new Range Rover. It looks like it was a birthday and Christmas combo, and Yak’s little one even got a small car of her own to drive around in. Overall, despite everything going on with him right now, it’s still heartening to see some of his core feel his care, however material, from beyond the cell.

Furthermore, the last update we got on Kodak Black’s legal state was his case’s judge threatening him with the removal of his supervised release. In other words, the judge wants him to return to jail once he’s out of federal custody to await trial for his charges. The Florida MC is actually facing a couple of different cases right now, as one of his recent arrests happened while he was out on bail. It’s a complicated web, but one that hopefully starts to unweave soon for the sake of his constance and that of his family.

Kodak Black’s Gifts For His Baby Mama & Daughter: Watch

An interesting debacle in this case centers around the police officer who arrested Kodak Black mistakenly identifying the drugs found in his vehicle when the procedure took place. “The cop says crack cocaine, and it turned out to be oxycodone,” his attorney Bradford Cohen expressed. “I don’t know how an error like that happens. I’ve never seen in my career of 27 years where an officer tested an oxycodone pill, and it came back positive for cocaine. This officer was either grossly neglectful, incompetent, or a liar. It’s one of those three.”

Meanwhile, it’s odd to hear about the Sniper Gang boss’ woes when we just heard him spit with ease. The Book Of Clarence‘s soundtrack features a new track with him, Adekunle Gold, and Doja Cat titled “JEEZU,” which was a true highlight this release week. Hopefully this wraps up soon so that Kodak Black can continue to focus on his career after taking accountability and responsibility. For more news and the latest updates on him, stay up to date on HNHH.

“Million Dollaz Worth Of Game” A Media Outlet And Not “Just A Podcast,” Gillie Da Kid Argues

by

Gillie Da Kid has hit back at Million Dollaz Worth Of Game being put on lists of Best Black Podcasts. “I never seen the top white podcasts of 2023. I never seen that pop up, because they could just live in they own space. They ain’t in no competition with each other,” Gillie Da Kid said. However, he was also irked by the fact that it was even being called a podcast at all. “[W]e not no f-cking podcast, let’s get that right. We one of the biggest media outlets in the f-cking world,” Gillie added.

He also rankled at even having the podcast compared to others. “Can you tell me another podcast that do Gillie and Wallo K.O. parties where you sit 3,000 n-ggas in a arena and do 37,000 pay-per-view buys to see some n-ggas from the streets fight? Do another podcast out there got the fastest-growing fucking energy drink in the world — not in the United States, in the world? So we not no mothaf-ckin’ podcast,” Gillie added.

Fat Joe Roasts Gillie Da Kid For Challenging Jamal Crawford

Meanwhile, Gillie got roasted by Fat Joe back in November for his challenge to Jamal Crawford. “Yo, Gillie gotta stop. Nobody loves Gillie and Wallo more than me, but Gillie one-on-one against Jamal Crawford? I don’t got Gillie scoring two [points]. Gillie from Philly, my brother, talking about how he taking on Jamal Crawford — is he on dust? What they got over there in Philly, the tranq [tranquilizer]. You seen that shit where people be just Zombie’d out. It’s worse! Yeah, Gillie gotta relax,” Joe said on Instagram. Furthermore, Joe told Crawford to “break his ankles” in reference to Gillie.

Gillie’s challenge originally came on his podcast. “I bet you Jamal Crawford will not accept this challenge one-on-one. I will cook the sh-t [out of him]. Let me just say this, Jamal Crawford is gonna get his baskets — that’s what he do. He cook everybody. But guess who else going in the oven? Jamal fucking Crawford. He gotta guard me. I’m like Bubba Chuck. I know I’m a muthaf-cking liability on muthaf-cking defense, but I’m such a liability on offense that it don’t even f-ckin matter,” Gillie bragged. While the Philly rapper has some wins against other musicians in streetball, Crawford is likely going to be a whole other challenge.
