Megan Thee Stallion Teases Act Three For Her Self-Titled Album

December 18, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It looks like the Hotties are in for another exhilarating 12-month stretch next year. According to Uproxx, Megan Thee Stallion has come by with another major announcement in the waning moments of 2024. It all started because a fan account on X by the name of “Stallion Access” posted a really neat graphic. You can check it out below, but it includes everything she accomplished (and it’s a long list). From her various brand deals to her tour and every event she’s been a part of, it’s got it all. Megan came across it and replied with an exciting piece of news. “Real Hot Girl S***ACT 3 2025 … be ready hotties”

This is a callback to her 2024 album MEGAN, her first independent project of her career. It got some very favorable reviews from fans and critics, sold pretty well, and got an ACT II because of that success. The latter hit in late October and went on to feature 13 more tracks. It’s sort of like a deluxe, which begs the question: “What will ACT III be like?” We can only assume that it’s going to be very similar to its predecessor, but we will just have to wait and see.

Megan Thee Stallion Is Continuing Her Self-Titled Era In 2025

However, given that ACT II is kind of another album with 31 songs, we could be in for a separate tape altogether. As it stands, we only know that it’s going to most likely be out in 2025. It seems right now Megan Thee Stallion is content with just giving fans something to look forward to heading into next year. Hopefully, there will be some more bangers to come because MEGAN and its sequel was chockful of them.

In other news surrounding the Houston rap star, she recently filed a restraining order request against Tory Lanez. The incarcerated Canadian crooner has been trying to figure out some plan to lower his 10-year sentence for a bit now. With that said, some levels of harassment online from his supporters have caused some “psychological” distress. Right now, she’s awaiting a final decision on that front.

Central Cee Announces Release Date For Debut Album “Can’t Rush Greatness”

October 31, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Central Cee has spent the last few years building one of the biggest profiles in U.K. rap on an international level, whether through hot singles like his most recent effort, “One By One,” and his blockbuster collaborations. But folks still have their skepticisms, given the fact that he doesn’t have a studio album under his belt among his various smaller projects. Well, Cench is going to change all of that very soon. He will drop his debut studio album Can’t Rush Greatness on January 24, which is a fitting title. As such, we know of at least one major hip-hop LP that will kick off the second half of the 2020s decade.

Not much else is known about this new album, other than a presumed cover art and this release date. As far as Central Cee’s sonic direction, amount of tracks, whether or not it will include previous singles, and other questions, we can only guess. Hopefully it’s a solid effort reflective of his skills, effort, and talent. The London native has stayed busy elsewhere throughout his career too, such as a recent Air Max 95 collab. But we’re sure that he’s been just as focused on this new body of work.

Of course, not every corner of the Internet is down to hear this Central Cee project, an impossible feat for any artist. Some fans still remember his viral Bantu knots which caused a lot of controversy earlier this year, or just don’t like the music that he puts out. But regardless of this criticism, the 26-year-old has a lot more greatness to pay attention to and seek motivation through. We’ll have to see what Can’t Rush Greatness provides, and how it resonates with his audience and others worldwide.

Meanwhile, this new album rollout comes with a bit of a recent publicity push, despite this being more of a negative look for some. Fans went wild over cheating allegations involving Ice Spice and Central Cee, though that narrative already died out. Maybe folks will have already forgotten about this by the time Can’t Rush Greatness rolls around. But they certainly won’t forget the album itself if it’s heat, and we’re excited to hear what’s in store.

October 5, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Xzibit and Conor McGregor are joining forces. Who had that on their Bingo card? We can assure we didn’t, but here we are folks! According to a recent press release (and HipHopDX), the Detroit, Michigan MC, perhaps best known for his work with the likes of Dr. Dre, Eminem, among others, is inking a deal with the UFC legend and his upstart label, Greenback Records. The Dublin, Ireland native launched this business venture just a few months ago, mid-July to be exact. However, in just that short time frame, he’s already got one of the biggest groups in hip-hop signed to him in Bone Thugs-N-Harmony.

Greenback and its founder welcomed Xzibit with open arms on their social media accounts not too long ago. “In the kingdom of hip-hop, only the real ones reign supreme. A legend joins the Greenback dynasty ready to make history,” the entertainment company writes on IG. “We proudly welcome @xzibit to Greenback Records – the new chapter starts here. #KINGMAKER .” You are probably wondering what “#KINGMAKER” means. Well, they are here to explain that too.

“Oct 11: Play This At My Funeral Oct 25: Been A Long Time pt2. Welcome to Kingmaker .” The former are lead single titles for X’s upcoming album (first in over a decade), Kingmaker. Sadly, we do not have a concrete release date for the follow-up to 2011’s Napalm. But we are going to get it by sometime early next year. Congratulations to both Xzibit and McGregor for this partnership, and we cannot wait to see what the future holds.

What are your thoughts on Xzibit signing to Conor McGregor’s Greenback Records? Is this going to be a great move when the dust settles, why or why not? Are you excited for his next album?

Nicki Minaj Announces “Pink Friday 3” After Last-Minute Scrapping Of Deluxe

September 16, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Some of the Barbz have not been too happy with their queen, Nicki Minaj. Over the weekend, the superstar rapper had to deal with concertgoers demanding refunds. They had been voicing their frustrations over her starting shows late, alleged lip-syncing, and not performing certain songs. Obviously, some of these requests are pretty unbelievable, and Nicki was quick to address by detailing how she’s trying to give each tour stop a unique experience. It’s safe to say they won’t be getting their money back, but they are being compensated in a different way. According to announcement from Nicki Minaj (via AllHipHop), she going to be releasing Pink Friday 3 in the near future.

Yes, you heard us correctly, she is going to be turning this tandem of projects into a trilogy! If you remember, the original plan was that she was going to drop the Gag City Reloaded deluxe of Pink Friday 2 on September 13. It had been teased for a few weeks with new snippets and performances of these unreleased tracks on tour. We even received a cover and the whole shebang. But as you are about to read, Nicki explains why she decided to scrap this pretty last minute.

Nicki Minaj Announces Pink Friday 3

Dear Barbz,

IMPORTANT #GagCity ANNOUNCEMENT:

Instead of doing a DELUXE to Pink Friday 2, I’ve decided to do a brand new album. I’ll still incorporate new songs like #Mamita & [The “anxiety” song] for the remainder of the tour tho…and I’ll announce the new date within the next…

— Nicki Minaj (@NICKIMINAJ) September 16, 2024

“Instead of doing a DELUXE to Pink Friday 2, I’ve decided to do a brand new album. I’ll still incorporate new songs like #Mamita & [The “anxiety” song] for the remainder of the tour tho…and I’ll announce the new date within the next couple weeks. The new music is just too good to be thrown away on a deluxe album”, Minaj said. “Last night, the songs I recorded were just way too iconic. I love you guys so much. You know that. I know you do. I’ll still give you something leading up to the announcement, so no worries.” She also goes onto mention that this era in her career has been extremely fulfilling for her for a multitude of reasons. Unfortunately, for the Barbz, they will have to wait even longer. However, based on reactions across the internet they seem more than happy.

What are your thoughts on Nicki Minaj dropping her initial plans to instead release Pink Friday 3? Do you think she complete this now trilogy by the end of the year? Based on her tweet how many songs do you see landing on this new album? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Nicki Minaj. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

GloRilla Announces Debut Album And It’s Coming Very Soon

September 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

GloRilla has being seeing a lot of success in 2024, but she’s about to see even more when she releases her debut album. According to HipHopDX, the Memphis rapper revealed this bombshell while on the red carpet of the MTV VMAs this past Wednesday. She spoke with Extra TV and spilled the beans pretty much immediately. “I’m dropping an album next month, in October”, she began. In fact, she’s so excited and confident about this next project that she’s already declaring it’s going to be a chart topper. “I’m so excited about that. We gon’ go number one!”.

Furthermore, Big Glo gave the interviewer a small hint about the direction in terms of the title. “It start with a G”, she said. For now, that’s about all we know about the “Yeah Glo!” hitmaker’s debut. However, there’s always some things we can speculate on. For starters, we can probably assume that “TGIF”, her most recent release, will go on to serve as the lead single.

GloRilla Says Her Debut Will Be Out In October

Furthermore, we can probably bet that she will drop at least one or two more tracks ahead of its release. One of them could be the song she previewed on her social media that led to some heavy backlash based on its original use of the R-word. If you remember, she did wind up changing the lyrics and a potential title for it is “Hol’ On”. For now though, we are excited that the debut is on the way soon and we cannot wait to see what’s in store.

What are your thoughts on GloRilla announcing her debut album? Do you think this will be her strongest project yet? Is Ehhthang Ehhthang still in your rotation? Out of all of the female rappers, is she having the best year of them all? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding GloRilla. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

YG Announces “Just Re’d Up 3” & All The Important Details

May 21, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Compton, California rapper YG has kept fairly quiet in terms of his solo material over the last two years or so. However, him and fellow West coaster Tyga did come through with their collaborative “playlist,” Hit Me When U Leave The Klub. It featured a solid hit in “Brand New” thanks to the incredible Lil Wayne verse. But back to the My Krazy Life MC; the last time that he dropped a new solo single was back in early December of 2022 with “Miss My Dawgs” featuring Weezy. He would end the drought late last month with “KNOCKA,” which apparently is the second promo track for the upcoming YG tape Just Re’d Up 3.

The April 26 release was certainly “a knocker a bopper a knocker like choppers” in our eyes. Unfortunately, Bricc Baby did not share the same opinion. He called out YG, essentially telling him to step up his game, as he feels that the young bucks are dropping better material. Well, good thing the G-funk hitmaker announced Just Re’d Up 3. This is a great chance to shut up Bricc Baby, and any other possible hater out there.

YG Continues The Re’d Up Series Over 10 Years Later

YG fans will know that he started this mixtape series back in 2011 and put out the sequel in 2013. Now, just over a decade later, the 34-year-old, is completing the trilogy. According to HipHopNMore, he revealed the release date (July 3), as well as the possibly unfinished album cover on X. That is the big surprise here; apparently this will be classified as a studio album, not a mixtape like the previous entries.

What are your thoughts on YG announcing Just Re’d Up 3 as an album instead of a mixtape? Do you think this the best entry in the series, why or why not? Could this be his best release as of late? Who do you want to see on the project and why? Is “KNOCKA” still in your rotation? 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 YG. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

T-Pain Is Making Another “On Top Of The Covers” Album

April 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

T-Pain has announced that a sequel to his On Top of the Covers album is on the way. He confirmed the project while performing at the Stagecoach Festival as a surprise guest during Jelly Roll‘s set on Friday. On stage, he performed “All I Do Is Win” and “Buy U A Drank,” as well as a cover of “Should’ve Been a Cowboy” by the late Toby Keith.

After Jelly Roll praised the original album and revealed it’s what inspired him to invite T-Pain on stage, the rapper revealed that part 2 would be coming “real soon” and advised fans to “get ready for that.” He dropped the first album back in March of last year. It featured covers of Black Sabbath, Journey, Sam Cooke, and more.

He previously revealed that he began working on the covers album years beforehand after winning The Masked Singer in 2019. “This covers album has been years in the making. I started recording this right after I won The Masked Singer,” he told Rolling Stone in 2023. “It got put on hold for a bit but now that I’m independent, I’m able to do whatever I want to do through Nappy Boy Entertainment and this is something I’ve felt strongly about for a long time. These songs are not what you’d expect when you hear that T-Pain is doing a covers album and that is what I think is cool about it.”

Bryson Tiller Reveals Self-Titled Album With Futuristic AI-Inspired Trailer

March 19, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Bryson Tiller is one of the most treasured R&B artists of the 2010s decade. His debut project T R A P S O U L is an essential record in that era of the genre. The Louisville, Kentucky product put his all into the production and songwriting. It paid off because it is still being bumped heavily nearly 10 years later. After 2017’s True to Self and 2020’s A N N I V E S A R Y, he went pretty quiet though. But, over the past couple of months, he has been feeding fans on Soundcloud with “Tiller Tuesdays.” For the majority of the year he has been dropping singles and EPs and the audience has been gobbling it up. Finally, they are being rewarded with a full album from Bryson Tiller as he just announced in a trailer.

The “Don’t” hitmaker posted a wild set of visuals on his Instagram just hours ago. It incorporates the use of AI and robots, as Bryson Tiller is building a more enhanced version of himself in lab. He is fully committing to the bit by adding “Dr. Tiller” to his bio. In the caption, he explains how he has been slowly building up to this moment. “ Here’s what I’ve been building for the past 3 years. Looking forward to showing the world what he’s capable of.”

After the incredibly creative trailer, Bryson reveals that the name of the LP and its release date. It will be a self-titled offering out on April 5. What is also worth noting is that Charlie Heat will be an executive producer, so you know the beats will be heat (pun intended). So far, we have one single for the album which is “Whatever She Wants” which has been a smashing success. But, Tiller wants to show that he has a little more to give out before the album drops. A new single, “Calypso,” is out now as well.

What are your thoughts on this album trailer for Bryson Tiller’s self-titled project? Is this going to be his best tape to date, why or why not?

Rick Ross Compared To This Rapper After Revealing New Album Is On The Way

January 31, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Over the past several months, Rick Ross has been quite active in dropping new tracks. Of course, the catalyst of this trend is his collaborative record with his MMG (Maybach Music Group) signee, Meek Mill. Too Good To Be True, is full of luxurious bangers. However, the album is not a watermark in Ross’s discography. That is apparent, especially when you look at the lackluster first-week sales numbers.

However, the fact that he is still willing to drop more music regularly is a privilege. Ross continues to prove that he can drop good verses on other artists’ tracks. Go listen to the new 1999 WRITE THE FUTURE and Rich Brian cut “LiGhT rAiLs.” Hopefully, we get more of those performances on the upcoming record he has just announced. In a recent video, Ross says that Champagne Moments is the name of the LP and is in the works.

Ross Is Going To Be A Even Bigger Boss In 2024

A post shared by THE HIP-HOP WOLF® (@thehiphopwolf)

That is about all we know on that front for now. In addition, Rozay also shared that he is working on funding and directing a movie, according to HipHopNMore. While these are both exciting developments, fans are saying he is doing his best to copy 50 Cent’s blueprint. The Hip-Hop Wolf‘s IG account has numerous comments that say things like, “He doesn’t want to admit it but dude stays copying 50” Or, “He thinks he’s 50” Of course, Ross and 50 have been going at each other for quite some time. However, the saying goes, “Imitation is the greatest form of flattery.”

What are your thoughts on Rick Ross revealing a new album and an upcoming movie? Will Champagne Moments be one of his better projects as of late? Do you think a single will drop in the next week or two? Are fans accurate with the 50 Cent comparison? Would you see a film directed by Rick Ross? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your hottest takes in the comments section below.
