Toro Y Moi Teams Up With Don Toliver, Kevin Abstract, & More For His New Album, “Hole Earth”

September 8, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Toro Y Moi has teamed up with several artists for his new album, Hole Earth, including Kevin Abstract, Kenny Mason, and more. He dropped the project on Friday, marking his eighth studio album and first since 2022’s Mahal. In a press release for the drop, he wrote: “Humans are tapping into this more tribal, earthier aesthetic. With the album title alone, that’s something I wanted to spark as a conversation. We can be off the grid, and also be on the internet, and try out all of these different lifestyles at the same time.”

One of the most note-worthy collaborations on the project comes with the eighth track, “Madonna,” on which Don Toliver makes an appearance. Toro Y Moi explained how that came together during an interview with Junkee ahead of the project’s release. “I got to hop on his record, and especially through Cactus Jack and that whole relationship, I felt like I wanted to just continue supporting them and trying to figure out new sounds,” he explained. “Don was one of the first sessions for this record, he came by my studio here in Berkeley and knocked out those two songs over the course of a couple days. It’s one of those collaborations that just took three or four years for music to finally come out of it but that’s the kind of relationship you want. I don’t know if it was us being synced through the recording process, but our records coming out in the same year is an example of how it’s beneficial to take your time with collaborations. It doesn’t have to always be like, get it out ASAP.” Be on the lookout for further updates on Toro Y Moi on HotNewHipHop.

Yungeen Ace’s addition to a concert lineup featuring Gucci Mane, Plies, Yung Miami, and Rob49 allegedly caused Tampa Police to shut down the event. According to No Jumper, the venue was concerned about providing security considering Ace’s alleged gang affiliations. The outlet shared an alleged email explaining the decision on Instagram on Sunday. The concert was scheduled for Friday, September 20.

“You may know that Julio Foolio was murdered right up the street from us and we’ve been made aware that Ace is rumored to have gang ties to the group that was involved with the shooting (Gangs ATK and KTA),” it reads. “We’re concerned about security around the venue and in the area seeing how recent this all happened. There’s also a duty we have to USF to make their police aware of the information if Ace is indeed coming.”

In the wake of Foolio’s death, Ace has made several conflicting headlines regarding the situation.

Can’t trust nobody but my choppa that’s my [problem]. Lil’ n***a died, got caught in traffic that’s my [problem],” as well as, “When this b**ch got hit with the stick that wasn’t my [problem]. When his mom got hit with that sh*t that wasn’t my [problem].”

Jay-Z Issued A Statement Of Support After Kendrick Lamar Was Announced As The Super Bowl 2025 Halftime Show Performer

September 8, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Apple Music Super Bowl 2025 Halftime Show is already facing backlash. Today (September 8), Kendrick Lamar was announced as the show’s featured performer. Given the chart-topping year Kendrick has had and his victory in the Drake beef, you’d think the public would rally behind the choice. However, this not the case for one understandable reason—its location.

Next year, the big game is heading to New Orleans. Based on the alone hip-hop heads assumed Lil Wayne was a sure in, which included his longtime engineer Fabian Marasciullo. Well, not Jay-Z. Thanks to his role as the NFL’s music strategist and the Roc Nation partnership with the league, he’s opinion far outweighs the public. In a statement, Jay-Z stood by Kendrick Lamar’s selection.

“Kendrick Lamar is truly a once-in-a-generation artist and performer,” he said. “His deep love for hip-hop and culture informs his artistic vision. He has an unparalleled ability to define and influence culture globally. Kendrick’s work transcends music, and his impact will be felt for years to come.”

Jay-Z isn’t alone. Former Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show headliner, Rihanna, subtly showed her support by liking Kendrick’s reveal post on Instagram.

Contrarily, Master P agreed with users online’s sentiments urging that Lil Wayne be considered for the slot.

“As Ambassador of Entertainment in the City of New Orleans I have to agree with the fans that Lil Wayne should be a part of this celebration as well,” he wrote. “He’s one of the greatest hip-hop artists alive, still relevant and he’s a New Orleans native. Let’s not miss this cultural moment in the South. Life is too short! We have to give our legends their flowers while they are here.”

The show isn’t set until February 2025, so this saga is far from over.

The Miami-Dade Police Department placed the officer behind the arrest of Tyreek Hill on administrative leave. They had detained the Miami Dolphins’ star receiver prior to his game against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. Miami-Dade Police Department Director Stephanie V. Daniels addressed the incident in a statement caught by CNN.

“Following the incident involving Tyreek Hill, I have initiated an Internal Affairs investigation to ensure a thorough review of the matter.

Hill discussed the incident with reporters after the game. “I wasn’t disrespectful because my mom didn’t raise me that way, didn’t cuss, didn’t do none of that. Like I said, I’m still trying to figure it out,” he said at his postgame press conference. As for the team, they put out a statement on social media before the game: “This morning, WR Tyreek Hill was pulled over for a traffic incident about one block from the stadium and briefly detained by police,” they said on X (formerly Twitter). “He has since been released. Several teammates saw the incident and stopped to offer support. Tyreek and all other players involved have safely arrived to the stadium and will be available for today’s game.”

This is just what everybody sees right now. Renewal, rebirth: that is the whole concept of this [album]. We started with the snake because, first of all, I love snakes, but I feel like snakes are so misunderstood, especially in western culture. Snakes represent rebirth, spirituality.”

September 8, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Pusha T showed love to Kendrick Lamar on his Instagram Story on Sunday after the NFL announced that the rapper will be performing at the Super Bowl Halftime Show. In doing so, he shared a quote from Lamar’s announcement in which he seemingly dissed Drake. “You know it’s only one opportunity to win a championship — no round twos,” Lamar said. Drake recently teased being ready for a “Game 2” on his Instagram page.

While sharing Lamar’s remark, Pusha wrote: “This is true…” with a shrugging emoji. Pusha notably feuded with Drake as well back in 2018 with the release of “The Story of Adidon.” Lamar actually referenced that feud in his diss track, “Euphoria.” He rapped: “I don’t like you poppin’ s**t at Pharrell, for him, I inherit the beef/ Yeah, f**k all that pushin’ P, let me see you push a T/ You better off spinnin’ again on him, you think about pushin’ me?/ He’s Terrence Thornton, I’m Terence Crawford, yeah, I’m whoopin’ feet.”

September 8, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It’s long been rumored that Rome Streetz and Daringer would be teaming up for a new collaborative project. Late last week, the duo finally confirmed this with the release of its lead single. The album is titled Hatton Garden Holdup and is currently slated for release on October 4. Reportedly, the project also boasts various high-profile features. ScHoolboy Q, Conway The Machine, Meyhem Lauren, and Cormega are expected to make appearances.

They went in alone on their first single “Starbvxkz,” however. It arrived last week alongside a dreamy accompanying music video based in West London, directed by Rome’s manager, Coach Bombay 3000. The track delivers all of the old-school energy one would expect from the pair and also serves as a solid introduction to the upcoming album. The new project will follow Rome’s EP with producer Wavy Da Ghawd, Buck 50, which they unveiled in May of this year.

It will also arrive after Daringer’s contributions to Action Bronson’s JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACHLAVA THE DOCTOR and Conway The Machine’s Slant Face Killah, which were both released earlier this year. What do you think of Rome Streetz and Daringer’s new track? What about its accompanying music video directed by Coach Bombay 3000? Will you be adding “Starbvxkz” to your playlist or not?
