April 1, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Bryson Tiller Hosts Star-Studded Listening Party for Highly Anticipated Album

Time flies. Bryson Tiller has been in the game for almost ten years. But it seems the “Don’t” singer and songwriter may take a break from being an artist as we know him.

As reported by Complex following an exclusive interview, Tiller surprised his fans by saying he wants to pursue the gaming world. He explicitly followed his interest in video game design after releasing his upcoming fourth album, which will drop on April 5.

“This is probably gonna be my last one for a minute,” Tiller said about his first album in nearly four years. “I just wanna take a hiatus ’cause my No. 1 passion is video games. I’ve been designing a game for the past three years,” adding, “I’ve been looking into internships with different companies.”

Outside of his creative pursuits, the Trapsoul artist mentioned he wanted to focus on being a good father and being more present for his children. “After this album comes out, obviously, I’m gonna go out, touch the people, see the world and tour as much as I can,” he said.

“I want to focus on, No. 1, is getting closer to my daughters. My oldest daughter is 10 years old now. I’m tired of telling her I gotta work, or I gotta be in the studio, and then we can hang out.”

Then Tiller shared why video game design so attractive to him. “The thing about game design is super cool ’cause I can do it from anywhere. I could be next to her while she’s gaming. It’s just what I love to do, and it doesn’t feel like work.”

He also continued, “If you love all music then you’ll probably love most of it. I wanted to show where I could go with it if I chose to.” Tiller also said “I really just want this album to be about myself more than anything, so I don’t want to bring too many people in.”

Whether it’s gaming or being a more active father, both are admirable for the already accomplished Bryson Tiller.

“I haven’t met them, but did y’all see what happened with him?” Gabriel said. “He messed up [naming] all his kids, so I’m not even gonna attempt. I’m just uncle. It’s easy.”

Sexyy Red Responds To Joe Budden’s Theory About Drake Supporting Her

April 1, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Sexyy Red is an artist who has proven to be quite controversial upon her arrival into the music world. Overall, she is an artist who knows how to crank out hits. Her album Hood Hottest Princess is filled with catchy songs, and there is no doubt that it was one of the best albums of 2023. However, there are some who believe she lacks talent. That is because the lyrics in her songs are extremely vulgar. Not to mention, her bars aren’t exactly Kendrick Lamar-level. Regardless, she knows how to craft chart-topping songs, and that is why her fans love her.

Over the past few months, Sexyy has been receiving massive co-signs from the likes of Drake. In fact, it feels as though her and Drake are the best of friends these days. This has led to rumors that the two might be an item. For Joe Budden, however, he has a different theory about Sexyy and Drake. In a recent episode of his podcast, he theorized that Drake is actually being paid to promote Sexyy. It was a controversial theory, although there were lots of people who were in agreement. On Sunday night, Sexyy responded to Joe Budden with a tweet that was short and sweet.

“They so dumb,” she wrote. Needless to say, she doesn’t appreciate these kinds of theories making their way to the internet. After all, it can be pretty insulting to hear someone say that the only reason people like you is because they are being paid to do so. At this point, no one knows why Drake messes with Sexyy so much. However, it probably has to do with her personality. She seems like a fun person, and anyone would probably want to hang out with her, especially in a tour setting.

April 1, 2024 by newhiphopnews

LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers were in Brooklyn to take on the Nets last night. Overall, it was a massive game for the Lakers as they were able to come through with a win. However, it was LeBron who ultimately stole the show during the game. He scored 40 points, which is impressive when you consider how he is 39 years old. Moreover, he was able to break a long-standing record held by Michael Jordan. The record in question was for the most 30-point games in NBA history. Considering LeBron’s longevity, it was only a matter of time before he broke this record.

Prior to the game, LeBron caused quite a stir on social media. Below, you can see that during the warmups, LeBron was rapping along to Kendrick Lamar’s Drake diss on the track “Like That.” Overall, it was a fun sight to see as James was having a whole lot of fun. That said, some felt like it was a curious thing to do given his friendship with Drake. In fact, after the Pusha T beef, Drake went on LeBron’s show The Shop, where LeBron told him just how proud he was of his friend.
