Sexyy Red wants your vote in her long-awaited video for “Bow Bow Bow (F My Baby Dad)” with Chief Keef. It IS an election year, after all, and Big Sexyy takes advantage of the convenient timing to continue her campaign to “Make America Sexyy Again” with a campaign ad opening the video, advertising “F My Baby Dad” booty shorts and making some outlandish promises like “free food stamps,” “child support,” and “switches for the Glocks.” Never change, Sexyy. Never change.
Midway through the video, the previously teasedMaury homage, Corry, kicks in, with interviews from Sexyy and Keef, who is accused of being the baby daddy in question. The lower thirds are absolutely hilarious throughout Keef’s verse, wondering if the results can be revealed as long as he keeps rapping and cheering Sexyy on as she gyrates across the stage — and on Keef’s lap.
Despite borrowing Donald Trump’s catchphrase for her album rollout, Sexyy distanced herself from the controversial businessman-turned-politician in response to some backlash online. “It’s Sexyy Red 4 President,” she told fans on Twitter. “I’m my own candidate I’m not endorsing anybody period.” However, that would appear to contradict her earlier (possibly facetious) statement about how much the hood loves Trump.

The underground scene has a lot of standout voices, but Boldy James might be the guy at this moment in time. Atlanta born and Detroit raised, the Griselda affiliate seemingly winds up on every album of the year list. His consistency is probably his greatest attribute, as he rarely misses on a LP or EP. For example, Boldy and his co-star, Nicholas Craven, already have a critically praised tape out with Penalty of Leadership. Now, you might want to add Across The Tracks, the first collaboration between Boldy James and Conductor Williams, to those rankings.
The former loves to work alongside hip-hop’s best beat makers quite often. So, it was only a matter of time before him, and Conductor linked up. The latter is also on quite of run of his own. From his work with Drake to JID, the legendary boom-bap specialist is now going to get even more shine thanks to his efforts on Across The Tracks. His instrumentals range from downright blissful to dark and grungy. Some our favorite beats include “The Ol Switcharoo”, “Flying Trapeze Act”, “Lamp Shade”, and “Terms And Conditions”. Speaking of the latter, it was one of two promotional tracks, with “Offwhite Lumberjack” being the more recent one. As for Boldy’s performances, they are top notch again, mixing great rhymes, some humor, along with relentless flows. Both artists are in their bags from track 1-10.

Summer Walker’s 2019 debut album Over It continues to be a fan favorite. The LP is widely believed to be some of her best work and features various high-profile features from the likes of Drake, Jhené Aiko, Usher, and more. It even inspired a follow-up album, Still Over It, which the R&B icon unveiled back in 2021.
It appears as though Walker likes to revisit the project just as much as supporters do, as evidenced by her latest Instagram post. She shared a clip earlier today, which shows her pretending to snort a powdery substance, with the album cover inserted on top. “Love this album forever stream ‘Over it,’” she captioned the post alongside a heart emojis.
While it’s clear that she was only messing around, and that the powder was likely just makeup, the video has prompted mixed reactions from her followers. Most found humor in it, and are reflecting on some of their own favorite music by Walker in the comments. Others are upset that she joked about something as serious as drug use. “So this why I’m addicted to this album!!!!” one Instagram user quips. Someone else says, “Careful what we make jokes about.” She appears to be unfazed despite potentially raising eyebrows with her post, in typical Walker fashion.
She seemed similarly unbothered earlier this month when she took to social media again to shut down critics’ negative comments about her body. “We have to release these unrealistic body expectations, I’ve had 3 children. #wombpolice,” she declared. What do you think of Summer Walker looking back on her 2019 debut album, Over It? What about her pretending to snort it like cocaine? Did she go too far, or was she just having fun?

Camila Cabello isn’t the person one typically goes to for a hot take on the latest rap world happenings, but it’s 2024: anything’s possible. Moreover, she recently shared her thoughts on the Drake and Kendrick Lamar beef that has dominated this year’s pop culture cycle in magnanimous ways. However, the singer’s assessment of the whole matter has little to do with who had the better bars and songs, who had the better strategy, or what either artist should focus on in the aftermath. Instead, it was more of a comment on how these two MCs could probably get along and the annoyance that comes with hearing smack about a colleague.
“Drake is such a delight,” Camila Cabello reportedly expressed. “It’s so frustrating to see people talk about someone you know in a negative way. You’re like, ‘Dang, if only you guys could just have dinner or something.’” While there are no holes in this statement, a lot of folks might not give it the time of day because Cabello collaborated with the Toronto superstar on a track off her new album C,XOXO and even gave him a solo track on it to boot. But potential bias aside, do you really want to be the neckbeard complaining about folks wanting peace?
Of course, Camila Cabello is far from the first person that’s late to the party on the whole Kendrick Lamar and Drake beef hot take extravaganza. Honestly, we doubt that fans will stop debating this at any point during the year… partly because there are still new additions to the saga. As for these C,XOXO collabs, they don’t have any conspiracy theories attached to them at press time, but we’re not ruling out sub speculation about a bar or two down the line. Either way you fall, you’re not getting over this yet.
Meanwhile, Camila Cabello included other rappers on this album too, such as the City Girls and Playboi Carti. Maybe she knows more game than she lets on, or the Drake and Kendrick Lamar situation is too garganguan of a pop culture news event for folks not to have a take on it. But let’s always remember that a competitive sport does not always equal character-bashing. If only this feud was an example of that…

The battle of Kendrick Lamar versus Drake still has folks grasping for more, but what’s the rush when there’s so much left to debate? Of course, many of the topics, themes, and elements of this beef etched themselves into the hip-hop history books long before this flare-up. Folks have discussed Drizzy’s biracial status for over a decade, and K.Dot has always found it hard to be the biggest rapper trying to say something deeper about the industry and systems that he found success in. On that last note, though, Brand Nubian’s Lord Jamar agrees with the Compton lyricist’s view that his Toronto rival’s use of the n-word is “cringeworthy.”
Moreover, Lord Jamar posited that Kendrick Lamar never said that Drake can’t say the n-word: just that it’s cringe. He thinks that Aubrey Graham uses too many accents and voices in his music for his use of the word to come off as genuine, calling out “all these different Drakes that this motherf***er comes out with.” “The only reason why he kind of gets away with it is that his father’s Black,” Jamar added later on. Not only that, but he pointed out that the OVO boss grew up with his white mother, not Dennis Graham.

Furthermore, Lord Jamar suggested that Drake did not engage with that word in the same way that biracial folks that grew up in a Black environment did. “That s**t is catchy, he do make some catchy f***ing s**t,” he conceded, albeit in a way that theorized on why he “gets away” with this. Overall, it’s a very complex issue that has much deeper roots than just hip-hop. But it’s important to understand that attacks on the “Tuscan Leather” MC can be misguidedly discriminatory, invalidating, and exclusionary, and that Kendrick Lamar’s criticism of his use of the n-word is not a simple matter of being biracial.
Meanwhile, folks will sadly always clown Drake for whatever reason, and it’s usually not as deep as this. But there’s a lot of nuance that every party involved in this specific breakdown is missing out on. As such, it’s key for media consumers to see both sides of the argument and reach a more comprehensive understanding of the matter, especially if they are not Black themselves. Until then, these words will inspire many more debates like this.
Sheck Wes is an artist who made a name for himself with the song “Mo Bamba.” Eventually, he delivered an album called Mud Boy back in 2018 while signed to Travis Scott. Overall, Sheck’s approach to hip-hop was unique and fans enjoyed it. However, he kind of went ghost on the music world. He delivered some singles here and there and even had a scrapped verse on Travis Scott’s “FE!N.” With all of that being said, fans have been clamoring for some new music from Sheck Wes.
With this song, we get some production from F1lthy who made a name for himself with Whole Lotta Red. Given who is on production here, you can imagine what kind of single this is. The song has distorted passages that allow for Sheck Wes to shout and give his signature flow. This is a song made to be a banger, and Sheck certainly doesn’t waste a single bar here.

Charleston White is someone who’s become known for his questionable takes on a variety of different topics, and now, Kendrick Lamar is one of them. During a recent interview, the internet personality weighed in on Kendrick bringing rival gangs together for his upcoming “Not Like Us” music video. While the rapper was widely praised for doing so, White thinks it was only for optics, and not a real attempt to promote peace in his community.
“Kendrick did that for a video shoot,” he claimed. “He didn’t do that to bring n****s together. Them n****s just found something to dance to.” White also went on to argue that Kendrick’s effort to promote up-and-coming artists at “The Pop Out” fell flat. “They ain’t going nowhere. Ain’t nobody finna to listen to no up-and-coming L.A. artists, but L.A. artists in their neighborhood. Don’t nobody want to hear that sh*t,” he said.
Elsewhere in the conversation, White made it clear that he supported Drake amid his viral rap beef with Kendrick. He also insisted that he’s a far better artist overall, and claimed that it’s not even a close call. “Let me just say this,” he began. “Drake a way better rapper. I know Drake’s songs, I ain’t never heard a n***a in Texas pull up bumping Kendrick’s sh*t or nothing. I was just going against the grain. Let’s be clear. Kendrick can’t compare unless you like twisting your fingers up like the r******* people. That’s the only way you gonna like Kendrick, you’ve got to be r*******.”
What do you think of Charleston White’s cynical take on Kendrick Lamar? Do you agree with him or not? Are you looking forward to seeing the rapper’s new “Not Like Us” music video when it finally drops? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.
Trippie Redd is riding off the momentum from his collaborative genre : sadboy EP with fellow Ohioan mgk with “Bando Kid”. Unfortunately, the wave is not all that substantial, as lot of fans were pretty disappointed in the final product. Additionally, his solo stuff as of late is not generating the same amount of hype lately, too. “LWRW” (Left Wrist Right Wrist), as well as his last three projects came and went for a lot of folks. However, Trippie Redd might be drawing some people back in with “Bando Kid”.
This track, along with “LWRW” figure to make the cut for LIFE’S A TRIP 2. Yes, a sequel to his well-received debut album in 2018 is possibly coming this year. Trippie is not ready to reveal all of the important details yet, but he is certainly working toward it. In a now deleted Instagram post near the release of Saint MichaelEP, the emo rapper revealed that he would be going on expedition and recording in a specific location. “Life’s a Trip 2. Every last song will be recorded on a yacht. Taking trips for this! Gotta see the world and work”. On “Bando Kid” is mixing some elements of heavy metal and trap rap, making for a nonstop thrill ride. Trippie’s wailing vocals over the epic guitar riffs and punchy drum kicks feel grand in scope. Overall, this one of his best offerings as of late and you should rock out with him using the link below.
