Big Sean Hints At New Album, Fans Joke That Kendrick Lamar Will Drop At The Same Time

May 31, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Big Sean fans may have a new album on the way soon. He hasn’t dropped a new album since 2020’s Detroit 2 but that long wait could be over soon. He pulled up in the Instagram comments of fellow Detroit rapper Eminem. Em announced his upcoming new album The Death Of Slim Shady earlier this year and just shared the project’s lead single “Houdini.” Sean was hyping the track up with comments like “Not gon lie, u went crazy” and a series of fire emojis. But his final comment is one one fans have honed in on as it hints at when his next album could drop.

“I’m dropping right after Marshall then. Takeover time,” his final comment reads. Em hasn’t announced a specific release date for The Death Of Slim Shady yet. There is a chance Sean knows something that the general public doesn’t and is plotting his new album to drop after Em’s. But it’s more likely just a promise that he’s been hard at work and a new project is coming soon. But as is often the case when rumors of new music spark around Big Sean somebody else’s name came up, Kendrick Lamar. Check out what some fans had to say about Sean’s newest album tease below.

Big Sean Album Teases Leads Fans To Bring Up Kendrick

Whenever news about Big Sean emerges, fans inevitably make jokes about Kendrick Lamar coming in to steal his thunder. It all goes back to the pair’s collaboration “Control” where Lamar is notorious for having stolen the show. That was the case again earlier this year when Sean released his new single “Precision.” The same weekend Kendrick once again stole the show with his verse on Futrue & Metro Boomin’s “Like That.” The song sparked the massive beef between Lamar and Drake that’s become the biggest rap story of the year.

What do you think of Kendrick Lamar being the first thought on many fan’s minds when Big Sean teases his new album? Are you looking forward to the release of his long-awaited new project later this year? Let us know in the comment section below.

NLE Choppa Proposes That Kendrick Lamar & Drake Should Make Another Collab

May 31, 2024 by newhiphopnews

We in the media are still fiending for Drake versus Kendrick Lamar takes, and celebrities are still happy to meet and exceed our demands. Moreover, NLE Choppa recently sat down for an interview with Billboard, during which the topic of the most significant rap battle since at least Jay-Z and Nas inevitably came about. He had previously given some takes on the matter, but his latest conclusion is a little bit different to the whole “Why can’t everyone just get along?” narrative. Moreover, the Memphis MC thinks that Aubrey Graham and Mr. Duckworth should team up like they did for “Poetic Justice” almost 12 years ago and drop another song together.

“I feel like the win is more so not about who got the most streams or what song is the best,” NLE Choppa began. “I think the win is more so how you handle the success you got from all that controversy. [The] win’ll be like something like both of them coming together and doing a song together. I think the win is doing something similar to when Drake and Meek was having their feud. Like, they did what they did, but they came back as men to shake hands and made a song. That’s what we need to see.”

NLE Choppa Speaks On Kendrick Lamar & Drake Beef

NLE Choppa said he enjoyed Drake and Kendrick’s competitiveness and talked about the risks of hip-hop beefs.

“I’m hoping these motherfuckas don’t take it too serious cause at the end of the day, ain’t none of us God. Yo ass can die.”pic.twitter.com/hlyTG07fBw

— No Jumper (@nojumper) May 26, 2024

Whether or not you agree, NLE Choppa’s sentiment is certainly not an uncommon one in the rap game, although this sentiment of healing doesn’t match the skeptical perspective that others have of Kendrick Lamar and Drake potentially burying the hatchet. For example, T.I. and Chuck D both posited for very different reasons that they might go on tour together sometime in the future. In Tip’s case, he called the rap battle the most “exacerbated” of all time, so his commentary might point to the inevitability of chasing the biggest moment possible. This year, it was beef, but in a couple more, it could be reconciliation.

Just think of the moment that Drake and Kanye West created with their Free Larry Hoover benefit concert. Chuck D seems more hopeful as far as what that buried hatchet would mean for hip-hop culture, but it’s tough to call. After all, K.Dot and The Boy went really hard at each other. But would it really be that surprising if they chase a bag down the road or have a few more years to mature?

Channel Tres Quenches His Thirst With ‘Cactus Water,’ The Groovy New Single From His Upcoming Album, ‘Head Rush’

May 31, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Genre-bending Compton rapper Channel Tres announced his debut album, Head Rush, earlier this month, following the announcement with the release of its first single, “Berghain” with Barney Bones. Today, he follows up with another new single, “Cactus Water.”

Inspired by Berghain’s techno scene, the funky new track incorporates elements of nu-disco, with a hard-hitting groove, a hefty bassline, and a chattering rhythm guitar. Tres details a new romantic interest, telling his paramour he’s “been a little thirsty lately,” requesting the refreshment of the titular beverage — a thinly veiled reference to after-club activities.

Tres has a busy 2024 schedule coming up, with performances at festivals all over the place. In March, he performed at Boise, Idaho’s Treefort Festival, while this past weekend, he joined Ludacris and an army of dance music DJs in Detroit for Movement Festival. In August, he’s on the lineup for HARD Festival with Disclosure and Nelly Furtado.

Head Rush will be Channel Tres’ first album under RCA Records, to which he signed in 2022, and his second project for the label overall after he dropped his EP Real Cultural Sh*t in February 2023. Head Rush does not have a release date just yet, but you can bet it’ll be sooner rather than later with summer right around the corner.

You can listen to Channel Tres’ “Cactus Water” above.

Blueface Exposing Chrisean Rock & Offset’s Alleged Hookup Left Cardi B With Questions, Wack 100 Reveals

May 31, 2024 by newhiphopnews

At the end of last year, Blueface took to Twitter/X to put his on-and-off lover Chrisean Rock on blast. He accused her of sleeping with Cardi B’s longtime partner Offset on the evening of French Montana’s birthday party, which the former Migo denies. “I ain’t never talk or touch that lady. Real talk man, you need some help!” he replied at the time, though it did little to stop the chatter.

The following day, Cardi B hopped online to announce that she was single but said that she wasn’t buying Offset and Chrisean’s rumored romance. According to her, she simply saw it as a “sign” that she should move on and start fresh with someone else. Nowadays, the co-parents appear to be back on good terms, though it’s unclear whether or not they’re an item.

Wack 100 Recalls Getting A Phone Call From Cardi B After Blueface Put Chrisean Rock & Offset On Blast

During a recent interview with VladTV, Wack 100 reflected on the debacle, revealing that both Cardi B and Offset went straight to him for answers. “Cardi called me her damn self,” he said, explaining that he didn’t agree with Blueface’s decision to expose them. Wack went on to describe how Offset was putting blame on him, despite him insisting that he wasn’t involved. From there, he considered giving up on trying to “contain” the situation, letting Blueface do whatever damage he wanted. When he got a call from Cardi B, however, it prompted him to continue trying to keep him at bay.

According to Wack, Cardi’s call cleared things up for him, as she told him they were separated. “When she called me she wasn’t in a frenzy, she wasn’t crying, she wasn’t all hyper, she wasn’t any of that,” he recalled, claiming that she was simply looking for an explanation. What do you think of Wack 100 claiming to have gotten a call from Cardi B after Blueface accused Offset of hooking up with Chrisean Rock?

Snoop Dogg & Warren G Drop “Cali 2 Canada” To Perform Together On Their Upcoming Tour

May 31, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Snoop Dogg is known for being a prolific artist, as he featured on hundreds of songs and made a ton of tracks for his solo catalog. He has already been a part of a new album from his close pals, Tha Dogg Pound, called W.A.W.G. (We All We Got). D-O-G-G was on eight of Kurupt and Daz Dillinger’s 14 cuts and in addition, he has a solo release today. For this single, “Cali 2 Canada”, Snoop Dogg is working with more California greats, this time in the form of Warren G.

While there is a chance this is just a loosie, this record does have some affiliation with something larger. According to Vibe, Snoop and Warren will be heading up to our friends up north in Canada. In fact, they will be making their way up there in just a couple of days, as the Cali To Canada Tour begins on June 3. It features 11 dates and will go through June 25 in Vancouver.

Also joining them is the equally pivotal figure DJ Quik, so it should be one heck of a tour. On “Cali 2 Canada”, Snoop Dogg and Warren G are trading bars with ease and providing the ol’ reliable bounce of G-funk.

KAYTRANADA Thanks Freddie Gibbs For His Early Support After Coming Out

May 31, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Ahead of his new album Timeless coming out next week on June 7, KAYTRANADA recently gave Rolling Stone a wonderful interview. In it, he reflects on much of his personal evolution and his career trajectory, with one particular moment being a key point of support and reminiscing. Moreover, the Haitian-Canadian producer came out as gay in a 2016 piece with The FADER, and took this RS opportunity to reflect on that development. Specifically, he spoke on how Freddie Gibbs was one of the first artists to champion his experience and perspective, which gave him hope moving forward in an industry that used to treat the LGBTQIA2+ community much more harshly, and that sometimes still falls victim to that bigotry.

“I still don’t think many people know that I’m gay. Even with that story,” KAYTRANADA remarked to Rolling Stone. “Freddie Gibbs was one of the first artists that was like, ‘I’m proud of you, man, keep doing your thing.’ I thought that was crazy. That gave me hope. Now, we got Lil Nas X and rappers from the LGBT community just coming out. R&B artists, too. It’s more acceptable and more welcome. I heard Snoop [Dogg] and Dr. Dre were performing at Pride in L.A. That’s crazy.” Freddie even quote-tweeted coverage of this thankfulness with another sweet message: “That’s my homie in real life tho [fingers crossed emoji].”

Freddie Gibbs Responds To KAYTRANADA’s Thankfulness

As for their link-ups, KAYTRANADA and Freddie Gibbs have a couple of tracks together, namely “My Dope House,” “Alexys,” and the KAYTRAMINÉ cut “letstalkaboutit.” Hopefully the Big Boss Rabbit and the “Lover/Friend” sonic wizard reunite for some more collabs in the future. While Freddie won’t appear on Timeless (as listed at press time), there are plenty of other amazing guests to look forward to. These include Channel Tres, Childish Gambino, PinkPantheress, Don Toliver, Charlotte Day Wilson, Thundercat, Anderson .Paak, Mariah The Scientist, Ravyn Lenae, and many more.

Meanwhile, KAYTRANADA is fresh off releasing one of the surefire summer bops of 2024 with Mach-Hommy and 03 Greedo’s “#RICHAXXHAITIAN,” the titular track off Mach’s newest masterpiece. If Timeless lives up to that moniker, we’re in for an absolute treat. Surely we’ll get some more breezy jams and bops to blast all the way through blistering days under the sun. But most importantly, it’s great to hear KAYTRA reflect on those who had his back every step of the way.

Jennifer Lopez Calls Off Tour Amid Ben Affleck Breakup Rumors

May 31, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Amid rumors of a rift in Jennifer Lopez’s relationship with Ben Affleck, TMZ and her official website (onthejlo) report that she and her team have canceled her summer tour, once running in North America from June through August. Moreover, a representative for Live Nation reportedly told the publication that the tour completely fell through. The alleged reasoning is that she is “taking time off to be with her children, family and close friends,” and she even supposedly relayed a message to those following her website according to TMZ, although it’s not clearly available at press time. Perhaps a specific newsletter?

Either way, here’s the alleged statement from Jennifer Lopez on her website concerning her summer tour’s cancelation and next steps, per TMZ. “I am completely heartsick and devastated about letting you down. Please know that I wouldn’t do this if I didn’t feel that it was absolutely necessary. I promise I will make it up to you and we will all be together again. I love you all so much. Until next time…” While no further details emerged, the publication claims that low ticket sale rumors were not a factor in this decision. Apparently, the tour garnered more ticket sales in select cities as of late, and these rumors mostly built off of speculative guesses months in advance, as well.

Jennifer Lopez Cancels Tour

However, many believe that her alleged romantic tension with Ben Affleck could be a factor in this decision, as the two have sent out shady but mostly gossipy indications that things aren’t going well. For example, the actor seemed to hide his wedding ring in public, and the singer liked an accusatory IG post that many linked to Affleck. No matter the case, we don’t have a clear answer on this as of writing this article, so maybe the future will hold more revelations. Either way, we’re sure that this is all disappointing news for hopeful tour attendees.

Meanwhile, Jennifer Lopez is actually dealing with a lot right now, given that she might be a witness in the lawsuits against Diddy according to an attorney close to the situation. That’s a bomb of a story and development that we’re sure any celebrity would feel quite uneasy about being a part of. Maybe she won’t show up at all, but it’s still a worrisome thought. Here’s hoping that more J. Lo shows down the line don’t meet this fate, or that they will truly be indicative of the passion she wanted to bring this time around.

Logic Makes Some Familiar Callbacks On “Deja Vu”

May 31, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Logic has been working on Ultra 85 “for years and years and years”. That was according to an interview with The Greatest Creators With Guy Raz in early 2024. Fans certainly know that, as a lot of people have been on the edge of their seats waiting a long time for this to come to fruition. That hopelessness should be coming to end at some point this year, as Logic did share that info with us in late January.

A few days after that announcement, the Maryland multi-hyphenate would go on to drop the dance-inspired “Fear”. Then, the more straightforward banger, “44ever”, would follow in April, which brings us to Deja Vu”. As soon as you spin this single, your ears may catch on to the familiar flows, lyrics, and instrumental. This certainly makes sense, especially due to the name of the record.

Listen To “Deja Vu” By Logic & DJ Drama

If you thought you were hearing elements of “Fade Away”, then you would be correct! The Incredible True Story cut is a fan favorite for most, and listeners are already calling this “Fade Away 2”. The bars highlighted below are maybe the most impactful, as Logic gives us an update of the lyrics from the 2015 song. Originally, they went something like this: “Yeah, everybody gonna die, gonna go, one day / Maybe it would happen on a Monday“. This time around, he knows what to do, which is to live his life without anyone’s input. It is a great full circle moment, and ties in perfectly to the message of this song, as well as “Fear”.

What are your thoughts on “Deja Vu” by Logic and DJ Drama? Is this the best promotional track from his upcoming album Ultra 85, why or why not? Does this have you interested in what is to come on the album? What was your favorite aspect of the track? Do you prefer this over the original “Fade Away”? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Logic and DJ Drama. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

Quotable Lyrics:

Yеah, everybody gonna die, gonna go, I know
That’s why I flow likе a river, my liver can’t take no more
Ain’t no more f***s to give, I gotta live my life
Regardless if you think I’m living it right
I was born in the dark now I live in the light
B****, I’m ready to fight like I’m Tyson
