Lil Durk Delays Release Date Of Anticipated Album “Deep Thoughts”

October 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Lil Durk was riding a monstrous way of momentum into October 18. The rapper was dropping a series of stellar buzz singles in the lead up to his new album, Deep Thoughts. Unfortunately, the release date for the anticipated album has been tweaked. An official announcement has yet to be released, but a subtle change was made on the Apple Music page for Deep Thoughts. Instead of reading October 18, the page claims that the album has been delayed by over a month.

Eagle-eyed fans noticed that the release date for Lil Durk’s new album now reads: November 22. This is a pretty devastating delay for fans, especially given how long the rapper has been hyping up the release. Lil Durk first announced Deep Thoughts in December 2023. The aforementioned singles have been well received by fans, especially “Turn Up a Notch.” The subsequent buzz songs, “Monitoring Me” and “Late Checkout,” have drawn less attention but maintained an extremely high quality. The former, in particular, is one of Durk’s hardest releases to date.

Lil Durk’s Album Had An October 18 Release Date

The Deep Thoughts delay is the latest is a series of rollout controversies. The tracklist for the album was seemingly leaked on October 1. It spread like wildfire on line, with such unexpected names as Kai Cenat, Morgan Wallen and Sabrina Carpenter being listed among the features. A debate surfaced among fans as to whether Lil Durk was selling out and abandoning his traditional sound. Fortunately, the drama was cleared up. The rapper confirmed that the tracklist was fake. A proper one has yet to be released, with the only three confirmed tracks being the singles.

Fans are also hopeful that “Discontinuing Wockhardt” will make the cut. The Drake collab was teased by both Adin Ross and DJ Akademiks. The latter even played a preview of a music video for the song. It was theorized that Drake had been removed from the song, because the 6 God’s name was nowhere on the aforementioned tracklist. Once it was proven fake, however, confidence in the superstar collab was restored. Fingers crossed that Deep Thoughts doesn’t suffer any more delays along the way.

ASAP Rocky Clears The Air Around Album Delay

August 22, 2024 by newhiphopnews

ASAP Rocky sent fans into a frenzy this week when news broke that he had to delay his upcoming album Don’t Be Dumb… yet again. Moreover, the long-anticipated project, his first in eight years, was supposed to come out next week on Friday, August 30. However, it seems like the LP will now come out later in the fall of 2024, with no tentative, rumored, or hinted day-and-month date in sight. At least it seems like it’ll come out this year. Furthermore, amid a lot of fan speculation and concern due to these external reports, the Harlem creative finally provided an official statement on the matter via Twitter on Thursday (August 22).

“LEAKS & SAMPLE CLEARANCES ARE DISRUPTING THE ALBUM,” A$AP Rocky captioned a retweet of a post covering this delay. “ITS BEEN 6 YEARS & I WANNA MAKE THE BEST ALBUM EVER. IM SORRY FOR THE WAIT.” Still, we at least have more material from the album to enjoy and hold us over until Don’t Be Dumb is finally in our hands. One of these new moves is the single and music video “HIGHJACK,” which caused a lot of commotion due to his potential Drake disses on the song.

Speaking of which, A$AP Rocky recently spoke on this Drake feud during his Billboard cover interview. “You got to realize, certain n***as was throwing shots for years,” he remarked to the publication. “I ain’t in the middle of that s**t. That’s not how I retaliate right now. I got bigger fish to fry than some p***y boys. It is real beef outside. It is real. N***as getting really clipped and blitzed every day. N***as sniping n***as every day. That little kitty s**t ain’t about nothing.”

Meanwhile, despite these issues holding the release of Don’t Be Dumb back, A$AP Rocky still found plenty of room as of late to unwind and enjoy life. For example, he and Rihanna (plus their children) recently went on a vacation to her native home country of Barbados. There’s a lot of FOMO-inducing, wholesome, and fun content from this trip. Most likely, Rocky kept working on the project during this time, and while it won’t come out as soon as we thought, we at least know that it’s finally coming out.

May 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Fans have been eagerly anticipating Moneybagg Yo’s upcoming album, Speak Now, since he announced it earlier this month. It was originally slated for release tomorrow (May 24), however, listeners will have to wait just a bit longer to hear it. While this certainly comes as a disappointment to those itching to hear what he has to offer next, he promises that it’ll be well worth the wait. In fact, he took to Instagram today to announce the project’s new release date, and to tease an exciting feature.

“Just Got A Crazyyyyy Feature In I Couldn’t Drop This Project Without,” he captioned a photo of himself at the drawing board on Instagram. “Now Everything Locked In Fasho sho Its Worth Da Wait.” He didn’t provide his followers with many more details than that, though he confirmed that Speak Now will now arrive on June 14, roughly three weeks away.

Of course, fans in his comments section are expressing frustration that they’ll have to wait almost a month to hear the project, especially considering the fact that many of them thought they’d hear it at midnight. Regardless, plenty of them have faith that it’ll be worth it and are speculating about who the exciting new feature could be. “It’s gonna be Cardi B,” one Instagram user theorizes. “Drake or Future,” another guesses.

While it’s certainly fun to speculate, fans will just have to wait until next month to discover who the delay was for. What do you think of Moneybagg Yo delaying the release of his new album, Speak Now? Are you disappointed, or do you think it’ll be worth the wait? What about him teasing a major new feature?

Kanye West Has Fans Upset Yet Again As “Vultures” No Longer Has A Release Date

January 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign have been working on a new album called Vultures. Overall, it is an album that has been surrounded by controversy. With Ye’s fervent anti-Semitism, there are those who are deadset on boycotting the album. Furthermore, Ye has delayed the album on numerous occasions. Of course, this is something Ye does all of the time, so we should have known better. All throughout December, the album was delayed, and most recently, the project was pegged for January 12th.

Well, it seems like that is no longer the case. According to Forbes a spokesperson for Ye has said that the album does not have a release date. Instead, the album’s fate is completely up in the air. There is some speculation that the album is going to be scrapped entirely. However, there are actual insiders who know for sure this is not the case. According to HipHopDX, one of those people is Malik Yusef. He recently told fans on social media that vocals are being re-recorded and that the album will eventually drop.

At this point, it does feel like the album is in limbo. While those around Ye are confident that it will still come out, the entire rollout has been absolutely painstaking. Fans are being left in the dark, and those who still support Ye are becoming a bit fed up with the whole deal. Whether or not Kanye ends up pushing things along, still remains to be seen. By the time it comes out, there is a real chance a lot of people will have moved on. Not to mention, there is still time to make this a STEM player exclusive.

Hopefully, some tangible updates on the album come sooner rather than later. Let us know what you think of the new project, in the comments section down below. Have you liked what you’ve heard so far? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world.

Polo G Gifts $10k To The Entire Cast Of One Of His Music Videos

September 20, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Last month, Polo G released a deeply emotional new music video. It was for his single “Barely Holdin’ On” which has already racked up 16 million streams on Spotify. The video itself has over 7 million views in just over a month since its release. Now Polo is telling the story of how he shared the success of the video with everyone who appeared in it. According to People, he surprised the cast of the video with $10k gifts for each of them after shooting wrapped.

“It was an emotional roller coaster for many. Nobody was expecting to get the cash at the end. It was a huge surprise and everyone was in complete denial!” the video’s director explained. “Polo was very generous and wanted to make sure he could thank each and every person — he expressed his gratitude multiple times and gave them all the cash at the end. It was extremely nice and heartwarming of him,” he explains. Given the vulnerable nature of the video, it was a nice present from Polo G to those that starred in it. Check out the entire video below.

Polo G Gifts Music Video Actors $10k

Last month, Polo G’s house was raided by police. The development surprised many, but it was followed up by an even more shocking development. While he was initially charged with illegal possession of a weapon after the raid on his house, both he and his brother were eventually handed down charges of kidnapping, assault, and robbery.

Following the arrest, Polo G let friends know that his album was being delayed. It was originally scheduled to be released this month, but the project was delayed indefinitely. While Polo didn’t specifically mention his arrest as the reason for the delay he did mention that he had to shift his focus onto getting other things in order first. What do you think of Polo G’s gift to all the stars of his music video? Let us know in the comment section below.

NBA YoungBoy Celebrates Lil Durk’s Album Pushback: Video

May 12, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Decorated rappers Lil Durk and NBA YoungBoy have long had beef between them, but over the past few days, things have become particularly tense as they each prepare to drop albums. The younger of the two has already shared projects like Don’t Try This At Home featuring Mariah the Scientist and Nicki Minaj as well as I Rest My Case so far in 2023. The Chicago native, on the other hand, has been quieter, making appearances on Don Toliver’s “Leave the Club” alongside GloRilla, and linking up once again with the Memphis-born baddie for the Phatnall Remix of her “Ex’s” song.

While YoungBoy stayed true to his word and unleashed Richest Opp on Friday (May 12), Durk opted to gatekeep his LP a little longer. Instead, the father of six gave us a taste of what’s to come with “All My Life” featuring J. Cole. Just hours after its debut, Twitter users already can’t get enough of the joint effort and have been singing both lyricist’s praises loudly. For his part, the Louisana-born hitmaker operated without assistance on almost all of his 17 tracks, apart from “Chopstick,” which boasts an appearance from Ten.

NBA YoungBoy Turns Up After Lil Durk Delays His Project

Durk’s single is still obviously stealing some of YB’s spotlight, but he seems pleased to not be competing with his nemesis’ new body of work in a video that’s circulating online. While flexing a massive stack of cash and dancing around, the 23-year-old mimics shooting noises and holding a gun at the camera before hurling some insults the “Laugh Now Cry Later” collaborator’s way. “Bitch ass n*gga! You pushed back, you better not ever try it again,” Kentrell Gaulden chiefly yells. “Don’t play with me!”

Saweetie Partly Blames Her Zodiac Sign For Album Delay

March 20, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Fans have waited for this album for almost two years, but it looks like the stars had other plans for it. Moreover, Saweetie recently placed partial blame on her zodiac sign for her album delay, which was originally going to drop in June of 2021. During an E! News interview on Monday (March 20), she addressed the consistent postponement of her debut album Pretty B***h Music. Still, it’s not like she’s been completely off the radar, given last year’s The Single Life EP. Also, she said that she’s been through a lot over her career and doesn’t want to force a shoddy expression of those experiences.

“I feel like a debut album is not something you just put out,” the Icy Girl stated during her conversation. “It’s not something you play with. I’m a Cancer so I like to overthink sometimes, but I think you have to be really careful with that and I take my art really serious. I’ve been through a lot of interesting experiences. So, I wanna put that all into my album in the most artistic and organic way.”

Saweetie’s Album Delay Is Because Of Her Zodiac Sign, She Says

As of late, a lot of the conversation around Saweetie regards rumors of her relationships with other rappers. While it’s always at least curious, it’s also disappointing to see her reduced to who she spends her time with, especially given that the rumors concern other colleagues and collaborators in the industry. In fact, it’s something that she addressed on The Single Life on the track “Don’t Say Nothin’,” where her lyrics question why “always speakin’ on who I’m f***in’ on.” In addition, the real disappointment about all these conversations is that she’s building a happy and healthy relationship with Quavo.

With all that in mind, it’s actually not entirely unbelievable that the California rapper would want some time to process things. Sure, her success has been stellar, but often might be bogged down by the extracurriculars of fame and being a female rapper in the industry. Whether it’s for her sales or her relationships, she faced opposition at many turns. Hopefully her debut album will be exactly what she wants it to be, and makes a splash upon its release. Let’s just hope a Virgo doesn’t mix the project. Regardless, check out the full interview here and log back into HNHH for the latest news and updates on Saweetie.
