Ice Spice Debuts Retro Website, Fans Think Album Announcement Is Coming

March 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Ice Spice has debuted an early 2000s-themed design for her official website. As a result, fans are now eagerly expecting news about Spice’s upcoming debut album, Y2K!. The line of logic is that Y2K as a concept is rooted in the year 2000 and that is the internet era that Spice has thrown back to with her website redesign. However, at the time of writing, the website redesign is the only hint that news about the album is coming.

Spice confirmed the album at the end of January while appearing on The Today Show. However, she did not specify a date and instead simply said that the album would be out “this year”. Spice was “born on Y2K” (New Year’s Day, 2000). Furthermore, Spice confirmed there would be plenty of collabs on the album, including one that she called “crazy” at the time of the interview. Who are you hoping to see on Y2K!? Let us know in the comments.

Ice Spice Gets Love From Barbz At Pink Friday 2 Tour Opening Night

Meanwhile, the Barbz were out for blood as Nicki Minaj opened her Pink Friday 2 tour in Oakland. Members of the audience heard chanting “F-ck Latto” at several points. The animosity towards Latto likely stems from her beef with Spice, who is considered a Minaj “ally” after several collabs between the two. Furthermore, Latto is considered a Cardi B “ally” after the pair collaborated on “Put It On Da Floor Again” last year.

Latto and Spice have been trading blows for the last few weeks. Spice released the diss track “Think You The Sh-t (Fart)” before going after Latto for using her music video footage in a TikTok. Meanwhile, Latto hit back with “Sunday Service” and also referred to Spice as a “little girl” in a clapback post on social media. Monica is the only act officially listed as supporting the tour. However, maybe Minaj will bring out Spice when she hits up New York at the end of March.

Normani’s Long-Awaited Debut Album Receives Artwork & Title, But Still No Official Release Date

February 21, 2024 by newhiphopnews

In 2016, Fifth Harmony lost one of its key members Camila Cabello. She went on to pursue her solo career and it has continued to be a successful one. Even though the girl group was down to four, they were able to chug along for about another two years. It would be in March of 2018 that they decided to all move on as solo acts, including Normani. Ever since then, she has been teasing her first project. But, that was all she did. No cover art, tracklist, or release date was ever given for five long years. That finally all changes today as Normani has just handed out some of the details of her debut album.

This comes amid some accusations made by critics that she was running her own fan account on social media. However, it has been debunked, as her team is handling all of that. Normani cleaned out her Instagram, making room to show off her debut album cover art and title. It is titled Dopamine, and it features her wearing a skimpy, matching, black leather lingerie set while sitting on a blacked-out rocket ship.

In addition, Uproxx went ahead and checked out the link in Normani’s bio for more information on the LP. Ironically branded as wheresthedamnalbum.com, when you click on that link it will bring you to a pre-save link for Spotify and Apple Music. To the right is a ever-changing release date, so there is still no official word on that. But at least we have some of the goods. Hopefully, Normani and RCA get a date shortly after seeing all of this exciting news unfold.

What are your thoughts on Normani finally revealing the album artwork and title? Is she waiting too long, or are you still excited about her debut? Who do you want to see featured on the LP and why? What do you speculate the release date will be? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.

Kid Cudi Unveils “INSANO” Tracklist, Fans Disappointed But Rapper Says Deluxe Is Still Coming

January 8, 2024 by newhiphopnews

We are just five days away from going INSANO! Legendary Cleveland rapper Kid Cudi is going to be dropping his 10th project on January 12. Over the past few weeks, the multi-talented artist gave his fans updates on different aspects of the album. We know everything we possibly need to know now, as Cudi has just announced the tracklist. The 39-year-old revealed the names of the songs across his social media accounts and there are some impressive collaborations as well.

“THE SCOTTS” are reuniting once again, as Travis Scott and Scott Mescudi are bringing their talents to “Get Off Me.” ASAP Rocky will land on the fifth track called “Wow.” Other additions include DJ Drama, Lil Yachty, Young Thug, a posthumous XXXTENTACION, and Lil Wayne. While this is an enticing 21-song tracklist, fans were still a little let down. During the earlier stages of the rollout, it was rumored that INSANO was going to be 40 songs.

Kid Cudi Continues To Build Up The Hype

However, it appears those 19 additional songs will be on a deluxe version. Kid Cudi reassured his fans by following up the announcement by saying, “I said there will be a deluxe. Patience.” Some of those cuts that could make it onto the extended version could be the two-pack of “ILL WHAT I BLEED/MOST AIN’T DENNIS” that was released on Soundcloud. There is no release date for the deluxe, but we cannot wait for what Cudi has in store.

What are your initial thoughts on this brand-new album announcement from Kid Cudi? Are you okay with the 21-song tracklist, instead of the rumored 40? How do you feel about the features and the number of them? Based on the titles and guests, which tracks are going to be the best? Does this have a chance to be his best album, why or why not?

Danny Brown Details How Far He Has Come On “Quaranta”

November 17, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Danny Brown’s career is one that will go down as maybe the most underrated in the history of the genre. His gut-busting humor, along with his ability to get serious at the drop of a hat, has made him an extremely versatile artist. Brown’s sound may not be for everyone, but his individualism makes him one of the more memorable figures in hip-hop. He has obviously experienced a lot over the course of his time in the industry and that is one of the topics he tackles on his brand-new album.

Quaranta is Danny’s sixth studio album and first since his 2019 effort, uknowhatimsayin¿ This project is sort of a sequel to his 2011 tape, XXX, which is the Roman numeral for 30. If you took any Italian in school, Quaranta translates to 40. The Detroit rapper turned 40 back in 2021 and he wanted to make this LP about how much his life has changed in the past 10 years.

Listen To Quaranta By Danny Brown

Brown gets into this theme right from the beginning on the title track. “A lot changed since triple X came out / Bought a few cars and a house / Almost had a spouse, got caught up, she was out / Now I’m sitting here, questioning what life is about.” Of course, ahead of the release, Danny put out a couple of singles. Those being “Tantor” and “Jenn’s Terrific Vacation.” For this full-circle-like record, Danny brought out some big names to help with the project. Some of those include The Alchemist, ZelooperZ, and more.

What are your initial thoughts on Danny Brown’s brand new album, Quaranta? Which tracks are you gravitating toward the most? Will this be Brown’s best record to date? 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.

Nicki Minaj “Pink Friday 2”: What We Know

September 14, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Nicki Minaj’s upcoming album, Pink Friday 2, is already one of the decade’s most anticipated offerings. The rap icon’s last studio album was released in 2018, five years ago. While the rapper has consistently assisted with features here and there, and dropped a few singles along the way, the Barbz have been clamoring for a new album for quite some time. Well, the Queen is finally set to give them what they’ve been wanting for years.

Nicki Minaj is, without a doubt, one of the greatest female rappers of all time, if not the greatest. She has especially shattered numerous glass ceilings throughout her career. Furthermore, she has inspired a new generation of female rappers to pursue their dreams. With her fifth studio album prepped to drop in a few weeks, the rap giant is set to secure her legacy even further. Fans have been anxious since the album announcement, as another classic album is about to be added to her already impressive discography. Pink Friday 2 is scheduled to be released soon, and Nicki Minaj is rolling out in grand style.

Pink Friday 2 Singles

Even before its release, Pink Friday 2 has rightfully brought Nicki Minaj some deserved glory. The lead single from the album, “Super Freaky Girl” was released on August 12, 2022, and became a mega-hit. Moreover, it became the rapper’s first solo Billboard Hot 100 number one hit. She had come close several times before, especially with her 2014 single “Anaconda” which peaked at number two. Remarkably, “Super Freaky Girl” debuted at number one, and broke the long cycle of her deserved claim of the top spot. Minaj followed “Super Freaky Girl” with the promotional single, “Red Ruby Da Sleeze,” which she released in March 2023. The song achieved significant chart success, peaking at number 13 on the Hot 100 chart.

A few months later, on September 1st, 2023, Minaj released another new single from the album, titled, “Last Time I Saw You,” which finds her learning into a pop-rap hybrid with relatable lyrics. Although the song did not perform as impressively as its predecessors, it succeeded in raising the hype around Pink Friday 2. Moreover, at the recently held MTV Video Music Awards ceremony, Minaj gave a stellar performance of her new single before debuting a new track from the upcoming album. The new track has since been revealed to be titled “Big Difference.” With the release of Pink Friday 2 about two months away, fans speculate that “Big Difference” could be the third single released.

So far, all the singles released from Pink Friday 2 have been solo singles. It is unconfirmed at the moment whether or not there will be featured artists on the project, or if it will be a full-blown solo studio album. However, fans are particularly interested in seeing rising rapper Ice Spice on the album. The two have already collaborated on two songs this year, and the Barbz want more.

On September 5, Nicki revealed a cover image for the album on social media. It features her clothed in a blush pink ensemble, posing in a makeshift, pink train. So far, an official tracklist has not yet been released for the album. This is also why the featured artists, if any, are unconfirmed. Fortunately, fans will not have to wait too long. Pink Friday 2 will be released on November 17, 2023. In the near future, we expect Minaj will reveal the tracklist, and potentially drop one more single.
