21 Savage And Travis Scott Bring Ridiculous Energy To Metro Boomin’s Beat On “Née-nah”

January 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

21 Savage has plenty to be proud of right now. That is mainly because he might have just come through with his strongest LP to date, american dream. Originally, it was thought of as a soundtrack to his upcoming biopic American Dream: The 21 Savage Story. For those who are wondering, that will drop on Independence Day. But, this project is his third solo studio album, so it is separate from the motion picture.

The tracklist is great from beginning to end and never fails to entertain you. One of the songs that perhaps brings the most energy is “née-nah.” Produced by 21’s most frequent producer, Metro Boomin, and maybe his best collaborator, Travis Scott, there is so much to like here. The great sample flip of Maclom McLaren’s “About Her” is a perfect compliment to the booming beat.

Listen To “Née-nah” By 21 Savage, Travis Scott, And Metro Boomin

On the performance side, Travis opens things up with a very contagious flow without any auto-tune. His raspy and husky voice adds the right amount of grittiness. 21 cleans up the second half beautifully with his trademark violent lyricism. After hearing another fantastic collaboration from them, this requires a full album from them. “Niagara Falls,” “out for the night, (part 2),” “Ghostface Killers,” the list continues with “née-nah.”

What are your thoughts on this brand-new song, “née-nah” by 21 Savage, Travis Scott, and Metro Boomin? Is this the best track from american dream, why or why not? Where does this rank amongst the rest of the features from the record? Would you say this is 21 and Travis’ strongest collaboration? Who had the better verse and why? 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 21 Savage, Travis Scott, and Metro Boomin.

Quotable Lyrics:

I been with the ‘quad on a high note, gettin’ C-notes

Blueface Drops New EP After Arrest

January 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Blueface’s recent arrest for apparent parole violations is still pretty unclear, but folks are reacting to so many different angles for it. For example, there’s his baby mamas’ reactions, his mother’s reaction, his manager, and a whole slew of other pop culture happenings he was involved in that now seemingly took a long pause. However, it’s clear that the California rapper’s set on profiting off of this as much as he can, and what better way to do so than some music? Moreover, he just dropped the Free Blueface EP, a seven-track, 16-minute offering of West Coast jams and more traditional trap cuts.

Furthermore, features include DDG and Kevin Gates, plus Tru Carr and YungMagnificent. As far as its quality, Blueface is really doing the same thing he’s always done here, so if you’ve liked him before, you might find something to enjoy. Of course, as of late, he had dedicated himself more to pushing his own artists (mainly his baby mamas) rather than developing his own musical career. One of these is Jaidyn Alexis, who is currently beefing with the 26-year-old’s mother Karlissa Saffold once again thanks to this arrest.

Free Blueface EP: Stream

In other news, it seems like his reality TV show is still happening despite this recent arrest, as Zeus Network still rolled out Rap Queens West. The “BDD” MC will accept auditions from various female rappers, and we know how that went for him in the past. Regardless, the winner will receive a whopping $1 million payout, plus a deal with MILF Music courtesy of Zeus and the label. He’s still looking for his next talent, even if the Free Blueface suggests that his own artistic days are likely mostly behind him.

Meanwhile, Chrisean Rock’s reaction to this arrest caused many fans to beg for her to avoid him. Apparently, she suggested some saddened emotions when she found out, which viewers hope won’t turn into a reconciliation. With jail time and the overall legal situation still up in the air, we can’t really make any solid bets yet. On that note, stay logged into HNHH for the latest news and updates on Blueface.

Mo’Nique Slams Oprah Amid Taraji P. Henson’s “The Color Purple” Complaints

January 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Taraji P. Henson has been making headlines in recent weeks for raising issues with the way cast members were treated while working on The Color Purple. Countless fans and peers have chimed into the conversation, noting how Black women in the entertainment industry have always been treated unfairly, and undervalued by their white and male counterparts. Amid the discourse, various users have also noted how Mo’Nique raised similar concerns to Henson’s years back, though hers weren’t recognized nearly enough at the time.

During a recent Golden Globes interview, Oprah Winfrey chimed in on the controversy surrounding The Color Purple, which she co-produced. “Everything got handled,” she said of issues on set. “It’s so disturbing to me because why is my name even in this conversation? I’ve been the champion for everybody.” Mo’Nique has now responded to Oprah’s comments, however, and she thinks otherwise.

Mo’Nique Claims Oprah “Didn’t Champion” For The Color Purple Cast

“Everything was, ‘Didn’t I champion for y’all?’ I was like, ‘Stop it. You didn’t champion for those Black women, for our sisters,” Mo’Nique told The Root this week. “What [she] did was, ‘We can treat them like we always treat them, who gon’ check me boo? I’m Oprah Winfrey.’” She went on, noting how the issues raised should have been handled before the women stepped on set. “You know everything should have been done when you showed up…Now when you hear our beautiful sisters saying, ‘yeah but it got fixed,’ it’s like we’re making it worse.”

“So, when Oprah Winfrey sits at the helm and Taraji P. Henson says, ‘It’s an honor that we were hand-picked for this movie,’ Well, if they were hand-picked for that movie, those women should have been taken care of from the moment go.” What do you think of Mo’Nique finally speaking out following Taraji P. Henson’s complaints about working on The Color Purple? Do you agree with her? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Nicki Minaj Recruits Future Again For “Pink Friday 2” LP With Deluxe Banger “Press Play”

January 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The Barbz are continuing to feast. Legendary Trinidadian rapper and singer Nicki Minaj is bringing a new edition of her momentous return album, Pink Friday 2. It had been a little over five years since the 41-year-old phenom’s last project Queen. It is safe to say that Nicki is making up for lost time by bringing extra material, but we are not complaining. Today marks the release of the Pink Friday 2 (Gag City PLUTO Edition).

It follows the Gag City Deluxe which added a 50 Cent version of “Beep Beep” and “Love Me Enough” featuring Monica and Keyshia Cole. PLUTO is a reference to Future’s nickname and he marks his second appearance with “Press Play.” It is the lone addition to this latest expanded edition and it is a straight banger. Also making a return to Nicki’s project is producer ATL Jacob.

Listen To “Press Play” By Nicki Minaj And Future

He continues to make his mark with big-time nod after big-time nod. Jacob brings sped-up piano keys to his familiar glitchy and bassy trap beats. The piano has a similar sound to Pooh Shiesty’s “Back in Blood.” Future brings a repetitive but catchy hook and Nicki has some witty one-liners as per usual.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new song, “Press Play,” by Nicki Minaj and Future? Is this the best deluxe track from any extended Pink Friday 2, why or why not? Is this the better of the two Future collabs from the record? Who had the better verse and why? 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 Nicki Minaj and Future. Finally, stay with us for the most informative song posts throughout the week.

Quotable Lyrics:

They said, “Why can’t you be Yoncé?”

Mm, what an idiot
You can’t be me, I’m already it
I been saucy, they all wanna skinny dip
I am your label’s obsession, you’s another guinea pig (Oop, ah, oop)

Gillie Da King Posts Young Thug Pic, Slams An Unnamed “Day One” Snitch

January 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Gillie Da Kid recently uploaded a picture of him, Wallo, and Young Thug that left many fans feeling confused. “It’s Cr*zy when ur Day 1 tell on u [facepalm emoji] Free [spider emoji] @thuggerthugger1,” he wrote as the post’s caption, suggesting that he knows of someone who’s been around for a while who snitched on Thug. Of course, there are plenty of names that the rapper and media personality could be referring to with this, but people were confused given how much the duo advocates for folks to stay off the streets. Why, then, would they want him freed without knowing the extent of the crimes he committed?

Furthermore, that’s what many fans questioned in the post’s comments, especially given the recent tragic loss of Gillie’s son. Regardless, this always is a much more nuanced and gray conversation than what the Internet suggests, so there’s probably a lot of compromise and balance here. Systemic factors are just as influential in these situations as personal choices, and it makes it hard for folks to focus on the big picture. But it’s fair to say that there is certainly more the court or incarceration authorities could do to improve Young Thug’s quality of life while behind bars awaiting a verdict.

Gillie Calls Out One Of Young Thug’s “Day Ones”

A post shared by KING GILLIE (@gilliedaking)

However, even though we can’t hear much of the Atlanta trap pioneer these days, Gillie’s post reminds us that he’s still around and will have a lot to handle and answer for when this eventually resolves… whenever that is. Still, perhaps he either hinted at it already, predicted his legal trouble, or has the opportunity to record in jail. For example, Young Thug appeared to reference his RICO case with YSL via his feature on Kid Cudi’s INSANO on the track “RAGER BOYZ.” “Ayy, I told the judge, ‘I’m prolly biggest off,’ I told the b***h she can’t be chargin’ me for Saint Laurent. Yeah, I told my baby not to break the law, I told my baby mama, careful not to get involved,” he raps on the cut.

Meanwhile, who do you think the Million Dollaz Worth Of Game co-host is talking about here? Where do you think the YSL RICO trial will go next? However, you may feel, drop your thoughts on these topics down in the comments section below. Also, as always, log back into HNHH for the latest news and updates on Gillie Da King and Young Thug.

Mikey Williams Transfers To UCF After Legal Battle

January 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Former Memphis prospect Mikey Williams has transferred to UCF after entering the transfer portal earlier this week. “All I need was a chance,” Williams wrote on Instagram while announcing the transfer. The No. 49 player in the 2023 recruiting class, Williams never played a game for Memphis after being charged with nine felonies in March 2023. The ensuing legal battle, in which Williams would plead no contest to a lesser charge of making criminal threats, sidelined the San Ysdiro-raised guard. Williams does still have to fulfill several conditions before he is sentenced in August.

“We can confirm Mikey Williams has chosen to enter the transfer portal. The University process for him to join the men’s basketball program was underway, but Williams elected to explore his options at this time,” Memphis said in a statement earlier this week. It is unclear if Williams will be immediately available for UCF, or if he will have to wait until the 2024/25 season to play. The Knights picked up a huge win this week, knocking off one-loss No. 3 Kansas in a chaotic week of college basketball.

Mikey Williams Pleads Guilty To Misdemeanor Offense

A post shared by Confidential (@mikey)

As mentioned, the transfer comes after Williams pled guilty to a lesser charge in his legal battle in November. Prosecutors announced that Williams would have his nine felony charges reduced to a single misdemeanor. However, he must meet a number of conditions by his sentencing date in August 2024. These conditions include the completion of 80 hours of community service and the completion of both gun safety and anger management courses. Furthermore, Williams is prohibited from owning a firearm for 10 years. Prior to his plea deal, Williams was facing up to 28 years in prison if found guilty.

Despite Williams’ highly-touted potential, Memphis has shown that they are able to contend without him. The Tigers are 14-2 to start the season, with their only losses coming to Villanova and Ole Miss. Furthermore, their 14 wins include matchups against four ranked opponents (Arkansas, Texas A&M, Clemson, and Virginia).

Blueface’s Ex & Chrisean Rock’s Makeup Artist Throw Hands On “No Jumper”

January 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It’s no secret that Blueface and Chrisean Rock have their fair share of differences, and it looks like his ex and the Baddies star’s makeup artist do too. Bonnie Lashay, who briefly dated the rapper and appeared on Blue Girls Club, recently sat down with No Jumper‘s Sharp for an interview. She had a lot to say about Chrisean, accusing her of dissing her son, and more. This prompted an unexpected guest to chime in, and things went south from there.

“Why are you interrupting my interview?” Lashay asked, as a woman on set continued to deny her claims about Chrisean. “Because I’m Chrisean’s makeup artist,” she explained, “I’ve been doing her makeup.” Things proceeded to ramp up, with Chrisean’s makeup artist stepping towards Lashay.

Bonnie Lashay’s Interview Goes South

The two women went at it, and Lashay ripped the makeup artist’s wig off. Luckily, there were crew members at the ready to separate them before things got too ugly. The interview continued despite the incident, and Lashay wasn’t finished with her comments about Chrisean. “You know what? Chrisean has been like having her fans and people come after me,” she claimed. “She actually tried to tell Zeus to not work with me, like weird sh*t. I’m trying to go on Baddies, I’m trying to do my own TV show, I’m trying to pop up, you feel me? And she’s trying to like, stop my blessings.”

Of course, this is far from the only drama in the world of Chrisean Rock and Blueface. Yesterday, the rapper’s mother confirmed that he’s turned himself in for reportedly violating his probation. Amid chatter surrounding his arrest, Chrisean took to Twitter to share some vague sad Tweets. What do you think of Bonnie Lashay talking about Chrisean Rock during her No Jumper interview? What about the Baddies star’s makeup artist going after her? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Lil Tjay “Told Ya” He Would Make It One Day On New Single

January 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

There are rappers who like to push their boundaries and others who like to stay in the familiar lane. Both approaches have their pros and cons, that is obvious. If an artist likes to continue to build on their existing sound and improve on it, that is more than respectable. However, some can come across content, and for listeners that can get stale. Lil Tjay is a talented guy, no doubt about it.

But, this new single “Told Ya” feels too familiar. The message and lyrics are solid as usual. On the production side, it sounds agreeable. However, it is something you will hear in a lot of rap songs today. Again, it is not bad by any means. It is just okay at the end of the day for us.

Listen To “Told Ya” By Lil Tjay

Fans underneath the comments section of the music video for “Told Ya” are loving it though. One says, “I love you Lil Tjay. Your music gives me so much joy and chills for real dawg… thanks for making timeless music brr.” Another adds, “I can’t stop playing this on repeat. It puts me in a good mood. Hats off to the singer for creating something so uplifting. You’ve truly showcased your skills and produced something truly remarkable.” It is good to see the support for Tjay. We wish him success moving forward. Go stream “Told Ya” now.

What are your initial thoughts on this brand-new single, “Told Ya,” by Lil Tjay? Is this the best track that he has come out with so far in recent memory, why or why not? Is Tjay starting to lose some staying power in hip-hop? Do you think an album is going to come from him later this year? 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 around Lil Tjay.

Quotable Lyrics:

Told y’all n****s a million times, “I’m gon’ make it”
Pull up, Bentley truck and it’s mine, it’s not basic
Hoes see the jewelry, it shine, and get naked
How you say you true to your grind with no patience?
Demons really stuck on my mind, that’s what I’m facin’
I know that I’m one of a kind, no correlation
