Today five-time Grammy award-winning pianist and composer Robert Glasper releases his second project of 2024, the Apple Music exclusive Code Derivation. On his latest album, Glasper splits the difference between jazz and hip-hop, emphasizing their shared genetics. Code Derivation is largely comprised of two versions of the same track, one played live in studio by Glasper’s band and a version “flipped” by a producer of his choosing.

“Jazz is literally in the beginning-bones of hip hop,” Glasper tells Apple Music. “That’s why I even used the word derivation, because it’s a derivative of jazz. I’ve played with the masters of both of these genres so I wanted to do a project where it’s like, ‘Hey, I’m going to do jazz songs that I wrote with my band—with my friends—and I’m going to get dope producers that are my friends to sample me.’”

On the band side of things, that includes names like Walter Smith III, Mike Moreno, Kendrick Scott, Vicente Archer and Keyon Harrold, with an additional feature from Marcus Strickland. On the production side, Glasper has called on some of his likewise favorite friends and collaborators, people like Hi-Tek, Black Milk, Taylor McFerrin, Kareem Riggins, and the one guest Glasper would be hard pressed to deny as his favorite of the bunch, his son Riley. On the MC front, Glasper’s called on acts like Beaumont, Texas-hailing Jamari (a frequent collaborator of his son), Minneapolis’ MMYYKK, and Brooklyn-born Oswin Benjamin, young rhymers who Glasper says became the project’s pièce de résistance. 

This weekend, Glasper will join Blue Note Entertainment Group and Black Radio Productions as Artist in Residence at The Black Radio Experience at The Meritage Resort & Spa in Napa Valley, CA. Inspired by Glasper’s annual Robtober residency at the Blue Note in NYC, The Black Radio Experience is an immersive journey into the soul of music, transcending boundaries and celebrating the rich tapestry of Black culture. Headliners across the 3 day weekend event include John Legend, Jill Scott and Andre 3000, and performances by Andra Day, Common, Nile Rodgers, Ledisi, Terrace Martin and more including daily performances from Glasper himself.

[WATCH] Vevo, Juvenile and Mannie Fresh Release Performance Videos For “Back That Azz Up” And “Party”

Vevo, the world’s leading music video network, announces Juvenile and Mannie Fresh as the next artists in their Ctrl series with a performance of “Back That Azz Up” and “Party” premiering today.

Vevo’s Ctrl series highlights the work of hard-hitting, cutting-edge musicians making an impact in today’s music scene – both emerging and established. These artists demand attention, and Vevo’s Ctrl shines a deserving spotlight. Juvenile and Mannie Fresh’s performances follow sessions from Rick Ross, Common, Rapsody, Fat Joe, Jeezy, Jadakiss, Fabolous, A$AP Ferg and more.

New Orleans rapper Juvenile is a Southern hip-hop veteran. Born Terius Gray, Juvenile was one of the initial figures involved in New Orleans’ “bounce” craze of the early ’90s, an uptempo style of hip-hop that combined gangster rap and party music. In 1997, Juvenile joined Cash Money, releasing his album Solja Rags that same year, as well as joining fellow Cash Money artists Lil Wayne, B.G., and Turk in the Hot Boys, who also released their debut album, Get It How U Live!. Both debuts were produced in total by Mannie Fresh, who was back for Juvenile’s 1998 solo release 400 Degreez, his platinum-selling, breakthrough effort thanks in part to the successful single “Back That Azz Up”.

In 1998, Mannie Fresh, half of the brains behind the Cash Money label, formed Big Tymers with Birdman, releasing a series of successful singles and albums. In 2004, Mannie busted out on his own with The Mind of Mannie Fresh, before returning to produce several tracks on Juvenile’s album Rejuvenation in 2012.

The two Cash Money heavyweights now reunite to perform their iconic hit, “Back That Azz Up” and “Party” for Vevo’s Original Content series, Ctrl.

As it was earlier reported, rap star Lil Baby was arrested on an illegal weapons possession charge i nLas Vegas this past Monday and now video from the arrest has surfaced.

TMZ has released footage from the ATL born and bred rapper’s arrest, showing Baby yelling at the cops telling someone he’ll give them “20 bands” if they make a phone call for him. An eyewitness says several cops pulled up to the Encore Las Vegas on the night of the 26th and came out with the rapper in handcuffs.

It was reported that someone saw the “Drip Too Hard” rapper inside of the venue with a gun.

As Vegas Metro PD officers were patting the rapper down near a police vehicle behind the hotel, Lil Baby shouted he has a license for the gun, and implored officers to let him go.

Lil Baby, whose real name is Dominique Jones, was eventually arrested and taken to Clark County Detention Center, but he’s since been released after posting $5,000 bail.

by

It’s no secret that Bhad Bhabie and the father of her child, Le Vaughn, have been through plenty of ups and downs throughout their relationship. Just months after welcoming their daughter, Bhad Bhabie put Le Vaughn on blast on social media, exposing him for allegedly assaulting her. Of course, this left her supporters incredibly concerned, and hopeful that she would remove herself and the child from the situation.

Shortly after the incident, however, they appeared to be back together. She shared various photos of them kissing, was spotted getting up close and personal with him out in LA, and more. This has prompted mixed reactions from fans, who simply want the best for the new mother and her baby. Regardless, she and Le Vaughn’s romance only appears to have intensified in recent weeks. Today, for example, they hopped online to reveal some shocking new ink.

Bhad Bhabie & Le Vaughn Flaunt Their Romance Amid Fan Concerns

Bhad Bhabie got a tattoo of Le Vaughn’s face on one of her legs, and he got her face in roughly the same spot. Fans in The Shade Room‘s comments section are certainly not feeling their latest move. Many don’t like the concept of getting a partner’s face tattooed, particularly when they were broken up so recently. Others think she just needs to leave him for good.

Some are even comparing the couple to Blueface and Chrisean Rock. Famously, Chrisean got a huge tattoo of Blueface’s face on her face while he was in jail. This happened shortly after she got another portrait, which was on her neck, covered up. What do you think of Bhad Bhabie and Le Vaughn getting each other’s faces tattooed on their bodies just months after an alleged domestic violence scandal? Do you believe this was a mistake or not?

The post quickly began circulating online with fans joking about how long it’s taking for her to finish her long-awaited sophomore album.

“She just like me when it’s time to go to work” one user joked on X (formerly Twitter). Others argued that she should’ve just dropped the album already.

Cardi has confirmed that her album will be dropping at some point in 2024 on multiple occasions. Speaking with Rolling Stone back in the spring, she claimed that she wouldn’t be returning home until it was done. “Until I have the album ready, I’m not going home,” she said at the time. “I’m a different person every single day. When I’m in a good mood and I’m with my friends, [I’m] like, ‘Damn, I want my sh*t to be played in this club.’ But then I might be mad with my man, so it’s like now I want to do this song. But then I want to do a pop record. I want to do my sing-y sh*t.”

Cardi B Calls Out Atlanta Records

Despite her promise, there’s been plenty of drama in her personal life that may have had an impact on her studio time. In July, she officially filed for divorce from her longtime husband, Offset. Be on the lookout for further updates on Cardi B on HotNewHipHop.

Cordae & Anderson .Paak Recount Their Childhoods Before Rap Over J. Cole-Produced “Summer Drop”

by

Cordae is someone who has so much talent, but in that same breath does not have the most consistent full-length projects. Well, he might prove those skeptics wrong when the former YBN crew mate puts out his third studio album, The Crossroads. At the time of writing, the Maryland MC does not have a release date in mind for it, but it is coming very soon. So far, we know for sure of one song that will be on the record, and that is the stupendous “Saturday Mornings” which features Lil Wayne. Now, though, Cordae is bringing out the second sure-fire inclusion, “Summer Drop”.

This cut sees Cordae working with now-frequent collaborator Anderson .Paak, as well as J. Cole. For those hoping for a rapping performance, you are going to be let down some. He plays more of a background role, as he is credited as a producer here. However, that’s not necessarily a disappointment because Cole is one heck of an underrated producer. Him, along with Kelsey Gonzalez, lay down another soulful instrumental with constant rushes of horns and a punchy and glitchy boom bap drum pattern. Both .Paak and Cordae are getting nostalgic and personal on “Summer Drop”, recounting their respective childhoods before raking in the big bucks as rap superstars. Check out the incredible single below.

“Summer Drop” – Cordae & Anderson .Paak

Quotable Lyrics:

I saved up the whole summer, that’s how I got school clothes
I bought some Puma’s and some fake chains, that was fools gold
My n****, what you know about those hot summers? No air condition
My n****s got rare ambition, but pain and paired division (When the summer dropped)
I done lost so many homies, in summers I cherish livin’
Nobody care to listen, they suffer from their decision (When the summer dropped)

by

Today, Shannon Sharpe dropped a new episode of Club Shay Shay featuring Tyrese, which expectedly arrived full of interesting moments. At one point in the interview, for example, Tyrese referenced a clip of Sharpe getting out of a car, which quickly went viral earlier this year. In it, he rocks an all-green outfit with a bright orange bag and awkwardly walks away from the car to meet fans.

“You walked your a** out like you were supposed to see a chiropractor that week,” Tyrese said of the video. “That motherf*cker had a different kind of wiggle.” After roasting Sharpe for the video briefly, he came to his defense, noting that sitting in a car for a long time can’t be easy for an ex-NFL player at his height.

Tyrese went on, also recalling how the video resulted in a ton of clowning and speculation about Sharpe’s sexuality online. He said that while celebrities often get frustrated by this kind of thing, it’s on them for having put their business out there. “I’ve said and done some d*mb-a** sh*t on social media,” he explained. “But guess what, if I’ve got a problem with what people got to say about me, get off the internet… You ain’t hear no rumors about Denzel, cuz he ain’t on the Gram.”

“At the end of the day, when you invite people into your life and your world, then why are you mad that they’re gonna misunderstand you, twist your words, beat you up when they disagree with you, create who you are and what your intentions are?” he also added. What do you think of Tyrese’s recent appearance on Shannon Sharpe’s Club Shay Shay? What about him roasting Sharpe for the awkward video of him that went viral this year?
