Daylyt Addresses Rumor He Helped Drake Write “Back To Back”

by

During a recent interview, Daylyt decided to set the record straight regarding some ongoing rumors that he secretly helped Drake write “Back To Back.” He called into HipHopDX‘s The Bigger Picture earlier this week to discuss, clarifying that he wasn’t solely behind the Meek Mill diss track. According to him, however, he still might have had a lot to do with its creation.

Daylyt explained that while he didn’t write the song, he did offer Drake some advice at the time, which ultimately lines up with its concept. “I can clear the air right now,” he began. “No, I did not write ‘Back to Back.’ I’ll just put that out there. I’ll leave that in the air.”

Daylyt Explains How He May Have Indirectly Inspired “Back To Back”

“Now, what I can say — and I’ll say this publicly — I may have been some inspiration to the concept of the record,” Daylyt continued. “In the midst of that beef after ‘Charged Up’ dropped, I most definitely was like, ‘Aye, bro. You gotta drop some sh*t back to back. You need to run some sh*t back to back to back.’ I just kept saying, ‘Back to back.’ And then that became, I guess, the idea of the record… I was like, ‘Don’t give [Meek] no time to reply. Just double up on him.’ And that concept alone turned into an actual record.”

When asked to share what songs he may have actually written, he refused, opting to keep everything else under wraps. “I won’t speak on anything else. Y’all gotta talk to my agents and stuff,” he said. What do you think of Daylyt clearing up rumors that he helped Drake write “Back To Back,” his Meek Mill diss? What about him revealing that he may have indirectly inspired it with some advice he gave to Drizzy about the beef? Are you surprised?

Kanye West Reminisces On His Childhood In China With Throwback Picture

by

Kanye West is looking forward to his second VULTURES listening party in China with Ty Dolla $ign this Saturday (September 28), once again reminiscing on his childhood. Before their first go-around on September 15, Ye had posted a throwback picture of him as a kid sitting on the steps of Huang Shan (also known as the Yellow Mountain) with the caption “BACK.” For those unaware, he moved to Nanjing when he was ten years old to accompany his mother, who taught college courses as a Fulbright Scholar. On Friday (September 27), the Chicago artist posted yet another throwback pic of him on Instagram with the caption “BACK AGAIN.”

This time, the post features a young Kanye West with white Nikes standing near what seems to be an elevator. As such, considering how massive the first show in Haikou was – with over 40,000 fans in attendance – it seems like he’s ready for another spectacle. What’s more is that the VULTURES duo even premiered some new material that has fans thinking that Yeezy is back in album mode. These include the new track “Preacher Man” and a surprising remix of Vanessa Carlton’s “A Thousand Miles.”

Kanye West’s Latest Throwback Post

However, other new music rumors from years ago resurfaced thanks to a new Consequence interview with Bootleg Kev. The rapper claimed that Kanye West and Kendrick Lamar have a whole album’s worth of scrapped songs together produced by Madlib, a mystery that originally captivated us so long ago. “I just think it just needed to be structured,” Con told Kev. “It was there, it’s there, it’s crazy.” Given Ye’s many controversies and recent musical moves, this will probably never see the light of day. But fans can still dream…

Elsewhere, we still don’t know if Kanye West’s supposed next project will be VULTURES 3 (as Ty Dolla $ign promised) or something else entirely. Another collaborative effort, a solo album, a short EP… Who knows? What we do know is that he has a lot to handle and answer for in the public eye, a moment of possible retribution that probably missed its window. But we can never count Ye out of another culturally dominant moment, no matter if its context is for better or worse.

Leon Bridges Previews His Upcoming Album With The Smooth New Single ‘That’s What I Love’

by

Leon Bridges is now a week out from the release of his latest album, titled simply “Leon.” He’s got at least one more pre-album single in him, though, as he just dropped “That’s What I Love” today (September 27). It’s the kind of soulful, slow-burning tune Bridges does well, letting smooth intrumentals and his equally soothing voice do the heavy lifting.

Bridges previously said of the album:

“Leon has been a long-time coming. I started writing pieces of it as far back as Gold-Diggers Sound. They didn’t fit what I was trying to do with that album and I tried moving on. But I couldn’t shake them because they’re part of me. And, if I’m honest, also because I think this is some of my most excellent work yet.

In many ways, Leon has been in the works since my childhood. This record is about simpler days. It’s about time spent in my beloved Fort Worth and the experiences that made me the man I am today. It’s soulful music in the truest sense — it’s imbued with my soul.

I’m excited to share these stories about my home, about nostalgia, about my upbringing, about where I’m from, with all of you. I hope this music brings you back to your roots and your journey.”

Listen to “That’s What I Love” above.

Leon is out 10/4 via Columbia Records. Find more information here.

Wu-Tang Clan Hints At New Album Potentially Dropping In 2025

by

The Wu-Tang Clan is set to bring their Las Vegas residency back this weekend with two shows at the Theater at Virgin Hotels. During a recent chat with TMZ, Cappadonna, Ghostface Killah, and Inspectah Deck revealed which song is their favorite to perform together. They all agreed on “Triumph,” though Ghostface Killah noted that they all serve their own purposes.

They were then asked about their plans for next year, prompting them to tease a potential new album. According to Ghostface Killah, they intend on dropping something together “soon.” He says that fans need to be patient, however, as they all have busy schedules they’ll need to work around in order to get it done.

Wu-Tang Clan Discusses What’s To Come

“It’s gonna be easy, ’cause this is what we do,” he explained. “The music, the soul, everything… Hip hop never left us.” These hints arrive after the drama surrounding the group’s one-of-one album, Once Upon A Time In Shaolin. It was previously sold to Martin Shkreli, who was its sole owner until 2021 when he was arrested for alleged security fraud. The U.S. government confiscated it, and eventually, digital art company PleasrDAO bought it. It was later released in fragments as NFTs, a decision controversial among both fans and group members.

During an interview with Vanity Fair in July, for example, Method Man opened up about some of the issues he had with the project. According to him, most of the Wu-Tang Clan was not let in on the rollout plans. “I thought it was some circus spectacle,” he told the outlet at the time. “I never really spoke to RZA about it. It’s an uncomfortable subject to most of the guys, so we don’t really discuss it too much.” What do you think of Wu-Tang teasing the idea of dropping an album in 2025? Are you looking forward to it? What about their Las Vegas residency? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Tommy Richman Unloads Debut Album “COYOTE” After Breakout Summer

by

Tommy Richman has been making music since 2019, but he broke out in 2024, thanks almost exclusively to his hit single “MILLION DOLLAR BABY.” The track, which was officially released in April but had floated around as a snippet for months before, found life as background music on many TikToks and Instagram Reels. Richman’s song went beyond viral, becoming inescapable during the summer months. “MILLION DOLLAR BABY” peaked at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100, though it didn’t climb to the top spot because of the success of Kendrick Lamar’s anthemic “Not Like Us” and Post Malone’s collaboration with Morgan Wallen, “I Had Some Help.” Regardless, it was a massive coming-out party for Tommy Richman, who signed to Brent Faiyaz’s record label in 2023.

Thanks to the success of “MILLION DOLLAR BABY,” Tommy Richman dropped his official debut album, COYOTE, with a lot of hype behind it. The R&B singer/occasional rapper has an old-school approach to his music, which has endeared him to younger and older fans alike. Old funk music clearly inspired him, coming out with a project that blends that sound with more modern instincts. The result is music that’s very easy to listen to, and it’s not hard to see why Richman went so viral this year. Notably, “MILLION DOLLAR BABY” and its follow-up “DEVIL IS A LIE” are absent from the tracklist, so it will be interesting to see how Richman’s album performs without his two biggest tracks to date being added. Stream the debut offering from one of 2024’s breakout stars below.
