Kanye West’s New Album Distribution Might Become Rick Ross’ Responsibility

October 20, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The last time Kanye West attempted to roll out an album, the process was nothing short of tumultuous. Of course, at this point, the rapper’s fanbase has become accustomed to regular delays and cancellations from their favourite artist, who’s been hinting at something cooking up over the past few months. He and Ty Dolla Sign have reportedly been planning for a massive performance in Italy, though that was postponed earlier this week. Amid that news, reports of West having a difficult time finding a distributor for his next LP have been spreading rapidly.

Even with all the trouble he’s landed himself in over his comments on the Jewish community, the 46-year-old still has friends willing to stick their neck out for him. Among them is Rick Ross, who publicly expressed an interest in signing West to his Maybach Music Group label. “Imagine if Ye came and allowed MMG to distribute his new project,” the “Purple Lamborghini” hitmaker reflected.

Rozay Seeks to Help Kanye West Release His Music

“Imagine that. What’s your favorite Rick Ross, Ye collab? Imagine that. Imagine the artistic drive. And I got some amazing ideas for the Yeezy brand. Amazing ideas for the Yeezy brand! Let’s speak,” Ross said in a video on his Instagram Story earlier this week. As the Southern superstar also pointed out, he and West have put out some incredible collaborations over the years, including “Devil in a New Dress” and “Monster” from the fashion designer’s My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy LP.

Considering all the controversy Kanye West has found himself wrapped up in throughout his career, we’re not exactly surprised that he’s having so much difficulty finding a willing distributor for his next project – no matter how highly anticipated it is. Reflect on some of the father of four’s most memorable (but not entirely flattering) moments in the spotlight at the link below. What’s your favourite collaboration between Ye and Rozay? Let us know in the comments, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Danny Brown’s “Quaranta” Album Finally Dropping In November: Details

October 17, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The last time we heard a solo album from 42-year-old Danny Brown was in 2019 when he dropped off Uknowhatimsayin¿. Since then, hip-hop heads have been eager to hear more from the Texas-based creative, who’s been hinting at his upcoming LP, Quaranta for some time now. Today (October 17), a release date of November 17 was finally confirmed, along with the arrival of Brown’s “Tantor” single and an Uncanny-directed visual featuring an eye-catching futuristic cyborg suit.

Earlier this year, the “Grown Up” recording artist completed a stint in rehab that’s seemingly changed his outlook on many things in life. As a result, it’s likely we’ll be introduced to a new version of Brown through his latest body of work. Pitchfork notes that he’s described Quaranta (meaning “40” in Italian) as a “spiritual bookend” to his 2011 effort, XXX, which arrived on his 30th birthday.

Danny Brown Previews Next LP with “Tantor” Single

Elsewhere in 2023, Brown connected with JPEGMAFIA for a joint LP called Scaring the Hoes. They subsequently went on tour together, which helped amp the Detroit-born lyricist’s audience up for his next solo project, as well as expand his already impressive fanbase. The next time you can catch the rapper live will be at the 10th annual Bruiser Thanksgiving, which he’s set to host and perform at on November 22 at the Russell Industrial Center in his hometown.

On his Quaranta album, Danny Brown will be collaborating with a small host of other artists. Bruiser Wolf joins him on “Y.B.P.,” followed by Kassa Overall’s work on “Jenn’s Terrific Vacation.” The final joint effort on the tracklist is “Celibate” featuring MIKE. Keep scrolling to see all 11 songs on the upcoming LP, and let us know if you’ll be streaming when it drops on November 17 in the comments.

Quaranta Tracklist:

Quaranta
Tantor
Ain’t My Concern
Dark Sword Angel
Y.B.P. (feat. Bruiser Wolf)
Jenn’s Terrific Vacation (feat. Kassa Overall)

Lil Uzi Vert’s “Luv Is Rage 3” Album Is Coming Soon, They Promise At Concert

September 29, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Rappers have been steadily releasing new music all year long, though it wasn’t until Lil Uzi Vert came through with their Pink Tape that the genre secured its first No. 1 album of 2023. On that, the Philly native collaborated with an impressive roster of artists, including Travis Scott, Nicki Minaj, Don Toliver, and Bring Me The Horizon. Some creatives would take a lengthy break after delivering such an impressive feat, but LUV has remained focused on completing more gifts to share with their fans.

The “Just Wanna Rock” hitmaker’s main focus has been Barter 16, which we’re patiently waiting for to arrive on DSPs. Aside from that, they’ve also been hinting at a follow-up to 2017’s Luv Is Rage 2 for quite some time, though social media users are reluctant to believe the hype. Ahead of this week, Uzi confirmed during a live performance that the third installment in the beloved album series is in the works. As you may recall, the recording artist hinted in mid-summer that it would only be “a couple of months” before their work was ready for its big debut.

Lil Uzi Vert Has Plenty of Music On the Way

“Hey now, I’m ’bout to drop ‘Luv Is Rage 3’,” the entertainer declared in the video above. “You know I only drop ‘Luv Is Rage’ when my heart is hurting. It’s about that time,” they vulnerable admitted. While many fans are happily reacting to the news, others are speculating that it could be some time before the LP drops. “This ni**a is a boldface liar and I’m tired of it,” one Twitter user declared. “I can’t wait to look back on this video in a few months and caption it, ‘What was the point of this?’” another wrote.

Lil Uzi Vert has kept mostly quiet about Luv Is Rage 3 since this summer, but they’ve been regularly giving us updates on their Barter 16 project over the past few weeks. The project has already been turned in, and though a tentative release date was set earlier this month, it hasn’t landed on DSPs quite yet. Read what LUV has been saying about the highly anticipated LP at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Taylor Swift & Nicki Minaj Collab Hints Seemingly Appear Online

September 19, 2023 by newhiphopnews

2023 has already been a year full of unexpected but epic musical collaborations. It seems as though that trend is only continuing over the coming months. There are several huge albums still slated to drop, including Drake’s For All The Dogs and Nicki Minaj’s Pink Friday 2. The Young Money legends are due to link up on the former. Elsewhere, the Queen of Rap has been dropping hints about what we can expect to hear on the latter.

Besides working on her own highly anticipated LP, Minaj is also be rumoured to teaming up with a seriously unexpected artist – Taylor Swift. The two artists have formed a friendship over the years, though they have yet to join forces in the studio. After seeing what appears to be hints surfacing on social media, however, both the Swifties and the Barbz feel as though that could soon change. As Billboard reports, searching the country-turned-pop sensation’s name on Google will cause one of 89 different puzzles to pop up allowing them to “unlock Taylor’s vault.”

Are Nicki Minaj and Taylor Swift Cooking Up a Sagittarius Anthem?

One of the most noteworthy clues to come from the fun game is both Swift and Minaj’s zodiac sign – Sagittarius. Just last week, the Speak Now artist called the mother of one her “favourite Sagittarius” during the MTV VMAs. On top of that, at the end of August, Minaj tweeted “Fighting the urge to say Sagittarius tingz right now so bad” when celebrating a new milestone set by her and her rumoured collaborator. If released, the joint song will likely appear on 1989 (Taylor’s Version).

We were surprised to hear about Taylor Swift’s split from longtime beau Joe Alwyn earlier this year. However, she’s had no problem finding suitors to romance in the time since. A few months back she was linked to Matty Healy from The 1975. They ultimately ended their fling amid the racial backlash he was facing regarding comments about Ice Spice. More recently, she and athlete Travis Kelce have been fueling dating rumours with their antics. Read all about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Drake’s Throwback Photos Reflect On His Career’s Early Successes Amid New Album Rollout

September 15, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Before the first single from Drake’s highly anticipated For All The Dogs album hits streamers at 12PM ET today (September 15), the Canadian had some throwback photos to share on Instagram early this morning. His next LP will apparently see him returning to his roots, and this new post may indicate what we can expect. Drizzy kicked things off with a zen-looking meditation space, followed by a rooftop candid of him, longtime friend Niko, and another man mid-conversation in Las Vegas.

“I believe in the phrase things change… I just never took you for one of those things,” he wrote in the caption. It’s unclear if there’s someone specific that Drake is referring to, or if he’s simply looking back on all the people who have come and gone from his life over the years. Midway through his IG carousel, the Toronto native sits in front of the piano to play a song and lays on the floor with Courtne Bianca. In the latter snap, an image of a young Champagne Papi with his father, Dennis Graham, sits on the table behind them.

OVO co-creator Oliver El-Khatib also makes an appearance in the second half of the post. He, Drake, and Niko all posed for the camera together in matching cheetah-print puffer jackets from The North Face. Besides showing his growth as an artist, the throwback photo dump also shows just how much the Scorpion rapper’s style has evolved over the years.

Drake is a celebrity who tends to keep his fanbase well-updated on his latest activity via social media, but even when he’s not online, it doesn’t take much for the father of one to go viral. Earlier this week, a video of him calling out his security team for allowing a fan to rush the stage during his It’s All a Blur tour hit the internet, bringing in mixed reactions. See that at the link below, and tap back in later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Flo Milli Influences The Weather On Her “Chocolate Rain” Single: Stream

September 8, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The women of rap have been consistently getting their flowers for all their hard work so far this year. One name that stands out amongst the others is 23-year-old Flo Milli. She’s been doing her part to incorporate the ongoing Hip-Hop 50 celebrations into her musical releases. We’ve heard her freestyle over classic beats previously used by Too $hort, Kelis, and Lil Wayne this summer. Last month, Milli also confirmed that her next album is on the way.

Since then, she’s turned her focus toward releasing singles that are more unique, such as “Fruit Loop” and, more recently, “Chocolate Rain.” The latter single hit DSPs on Friday (September 8), and finds the Southern starlet bringing her signature, upbeat and braggadocious bars to our attention over production by Young Fyre. “Passive aggressive / I’m sexy, obsessive,” the underrated rhymer’s first verse begins. “That closet, impressive / She messy, possessive.”

Flo Milli Delivers “Chocolate Rain” Ahead of Her Next Album

Making it known that she’s proud of how far she’s come since launching her career in the industry, Flo later rhymes, “I just woke up to like three hundred bookings / Girl, we ain’t the same, you a rookie.” Following that comes flirtatious lines like “Damn, I know he want all my goodies / Taste the Nutella when he eat the cookie, ha” that she’s become so well known for.

The official release date for Fine Ho, Stay has yet to be revealed, but seeing as the “19” hitmaker announced that she’ll be headed out on tour soon, it likely won’t be long before we have more updates. Listen to Flo Milli’s latest single, “Chocolate Rain” in the video above, and if you’re feeling the song, add it to your playlist on Spotify/Apple Music. Who do you hope to hear the Alabama native collaborate with on her upcoming LP? Let us know in the comments, and find more of our HNHH New Music Friday recommendations at the link below.

Quotable Lyrics:

I just woke up to like three hundred bookings
Girl, we ain’t the same, you a rookie
Damn, I know he want all my goodies
Taste the Nutella when he eat the cookie, ha

Big Sean’s New Album Will Sample Three 6 Mafia

September 1, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Since the music industry has become democratized, the phrase “there’s nothing new under the sun” has never felt more true. The current accessibility of creating songs means that many samples are used in similar ways, or at least frequently appear throughout the industry after trending on TikTok or other platforms. Some artists, such as Kelis, have expressed discontent with their throwback hits being repurposed. Others, like Juicy J, are grateful to see artists still putting beats he created with Three 6 Mafia to use. Big Sean is the latest to sample the Southern group. Of course, his “Precision” single hasn’t landed on streaming services quite yet.

As HipHopDX reports, the father of one gave us a taste of what’s to come on his upcoming album on Thursday (August 31). A minute-long preview of the unreleased song appeared in the new trailer for NBA 2K24‘s The City game mode. It’s set to release on September 8 and will honour Kobe Bryant with a tribute on the cover. Throughout the “Precision” teaser, fans can hear elements from Three 6 Mafia’s “Poppin’ My Collar,” which first landed back in 2005, helping to add more apple to Sean’s lyricism.

Big Sean Previews His Next Album

Aside from being used to promote the video game, it’s been noted that “Precision” is set to appear on Sean’s sixth studio album. Details surrounding the project remain sparse at this time. Now that we have an idea of what’s to come, it won’t be long before the single lands on DSPs. That will surely be followed with more updates from the Detroit native himself.

We’re certainly excited to hear that Big Sean has new music on the way. Still, that hasn’t stopped the growing concern about the obsessed fan that he and Jhene Aiko are hoping to take to court. Since there’s a newborn on their hands, it’s understandable why safety is a top priority for the famous pair. Read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Nicki Minaj Confirms Her New Single Is Coming Out This Week

August 28, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Nicki Minaj’s Pink Friday 2 is scheduled to release in November of this year, although it feels like we’ve been leading up to it for years. A couple of non-album singles preceded its official announcement earlier in 2023, and the Queen Barb herself couldn’t be more excited for it. As such, she’s spent a lot of time and energy on social media engaging with fans’ own anticipation and giving us little peeks and nuggets of what’s to come. For example, the Trinidadian MC recently shared a snippet of her upcoming single “Last Time I Saw You” on TikTok. Now, she officially revealed during a livestream on the platform that the track is coming out this week on Friday, September 1.

Furthermore, it seems like this is the true lead single to Pink Friday 2, which got fans absolutely ecstatic. After all, they’ve been bumping the clip quite heavily given all the times that Nicki Minaj has already previewed it. There’s a lot of anticipation for YMCMB’s First Lady to deliver some heat here, and this song specifically sounds like her older pop genre crossovers. It’s a style she does incredibly well, and one that leads us to believe that this album sequel will be as versatile as its original installment.

Nicki Minaj Will Drop Her New Single This Friday

What’s more is that this isn’t the only release that the 40-year-old has to look forward to on the horizon. Fans are also ready to hear her reunion with Drake on their highly anticipated collab on Drizzy’s upcoming For All The Dogs album. While the album didn’t drop last week as many hoped it would, could it really be the case that we’re getting both tracks this week? It seems too good to be true, but at least we know for sure that we’re getting something special from Nicki Minaj this week.

Meanwhile, it’s unclear whether “Last Time I Saw You” will be our only taste of Pink Friday 2 ahead of its release. Even if it is, we’re sure that Onika picked a song that will last us until then, and that we won’t be able to let go of. Let’s see how well that pans out in a couple of days, Barbz, as the album looks better and better every week. With that in mind, keep checking in with HNHH for the latest news and updates on Nicki Minaj.

Nicki Minaj Unleashes “Last Time I Saw You” Audio For Use On TikTok

August 28, 2023 by newhiphopnews

She may have taken a lengthy hiatus between albums, but for the past two years, Nicki Minaj has been a consistent force in the world of hip-hop. After plenty of teasing, the Trinidadian confirmed a few months ago that Pink Friday 2 is officially on the way. However, she’s already postponed the project’s release date. Regardless, the Barbz are incredibly excited for Minaj to reclaim her spot on the throne. Social media buzz is higher than ever now that they’ve heard what she’s coming with on her next single.

The mother of one began teasing her “Last Time I Saw You” track earlier in August. The brief snippet has been stuck in heads all across the world as they played it on a loop. Now, she’s sharing a larger portion of the audio with TikTok users. This allows them to soundtrack their videos with her upcoming release. Minaj shared the news via Instagram on Monday (August 28) afternoon, urging followers to go listen ASAP.

From the looks of her comment section, many of the “Moment 4 Life” hitmaker’s followers are happy to see her revisitng her old sound. Aside from “Last Time I Saw You,” we’re also eager to hear what she and Drake are cooking up on their For All The Dogs collab. The Canadian failed to drop his album this past New Music Friday (August 25), though he did promise that it won’t be much longer until it arrives on DSPs.

Most people have been enjoying what they’ve heard of Nicki Minaj’s highly anticipated Pink Friday 2 album so far. Even notorious hater Azealia Banks had to praise the Queen of Rap for the visual teasers she’s shared with us, though the New Yorker still had hate to express toward Beyonce and others in the industry. Read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

“For All The Dogs” Release Date: Drake’s New Album Reportedly Dropping This Week

August 20, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Ever since Drake first announced his For All The Dogs LP along with his new poetry book earlier this summer, we’ve been seriously curious to see what the Canadian has up his sleeve. Fans are already speculating that his frequent collaborator Travis Scott will be joining him on the tracklist, and the 36-year-old suggested that we could hear him returning to the sounds of “old Drake,” as hip-hop heads have been begging him for some time now.

The “Way 2 Sexy” hitmaker hasn’t confirmed anything quite yet, but on Sunday (August 20) afternoon, @ThePopTingz on Twitter reported that we could be hearing new heat from Champagne Papi as soon as this week. “Drake’s new album, ‘For All The Dogs,’ will reportedly be released next Friday, August 25th,” they wrote. If true, this could mean that Drake plans to surprise us with a single over the next few days to generate hype for his work.

For All The Dogs May Finally Be Coming This Weekend

At this point, we also know that Nicki Minaj will reunite with Drake on For All The Dogs. This is the collaboration that the internet is arguably most looking forward to hearing. In the past, we’ve heard them make magic together on tracks like “Moment 4 Life” and “Make Me Proud,” as well as “Only” and “Truffle Butter” with Lil Wayne. The father of one has been building the buzz by wearing canine-themed attire during his travels across the country this summer, and we’re willing to bet that we’ll see more of those before his album arrives in the near future.

The timing for Drake’s For All The Dogs album feels undeniably odd considering he’s currently in the midst of touring his past three albums alongside 21 Sav. Regardless, we’re sure he’ll perfectly incorporate his new hits into his career-spanning setlist when his highly anticipated LP does arrive. See some of Drizzy’s most recent on-stage shenanigans at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.
