Megan Thee Stallion Will Drop New Material Tomorrow, She Promises In Mystery Post

September 25, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Megan Thee Stallion fans have been playing the waiting game when it comes to new material from her for a while now. Of course, that’s totally understandable considering her hardship and overwhelming pressure from the Tory Lanez shooting case. However, the Houston MC just took to Instagram to promise something new for fans, which previous developments also hinted at. After all, she just released a new song with Cardi B, “Bongos,” that acted as a return for both rappers. While the “NDA” artist didn’t specify what exactly she’s dropping tomorrow (September 26), fans know to expect something big.

Moreover, she posted an Instagram video of her silhouetted profile saying “I’ve always been told I gotta be strong.” Furthermore, Megan Thee Stallion elaborated on her mystery drop just a little bit in the clip’s caption. “On 9/26, I’m dropping something that can help all of us,” she expressed. “Stay tuned, Hotties. #SeizeTheAwkward.” Whatever it is, fans hope that this will fully kick the 28-year-old’s career back into gear. Still, it’s also quite curious that we don’t know the nature of it because it seems like the perfect chance to garner hype for new material.

Regardless, Meg’s been living her life and enjoying herself a lot following the closure of her Tory Lanez case. For example, she recently joined Beyoncé for a hometown show in Houston for her RENAISSANCE tour, and it was obviously a show-stopping moment for fans. In addition, Megan Thee Stallion also balanced out her social media presence a lot over the past few weeks. Sure, she posted some BTS pics of the Queen Bey concert, more twerking videos, and glimpses into her everyday life, but she also recently said that she’s off social media.

Meanwhile, if this is really a new song, album, or music-related drop, this would mark the Roc Nation affiliate’s first solo release since her 2022 album Traumanize. Fans couldn’t be more prepared, and the vagueness of this announcement only adds to excitement around it. We’ll see what she has in store for us very soon. With that in mind, for more news and the latest updates on Megan Thee Stallion, keep checking in with HNHH.

Lil Wayne Announces New Project Dropping Before “Tha Carter VI”

September 20, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Lil Wayne has a new project arriving ahead of the release of Tha Carter VI that is aptly titled, Tha Fix Before Tha VI. Wayne shared a pre-save link to the project in both his Twitter and Instagram bios on Wednesday. Cover art for the effort resembles that of 2011’s Sorry 4 The Wait mixtape, with a red hue engulfing the image.

While he’s added the pre-save link to his bios and even updated his cover photo on Twitter to feature the artwork, Wayne has yet to comment officially on the release. It’s unclear exactly when he plans to drop the effort. On the pre-save website, he simply notes that the project is “coming soon.”

Tha Fix Before Tha VI will be Wayne’s first solo project since his 2020 mixtape No Ceilings 3. He dropped the last installment in Tha Carter series back in 2018. He first teased the start of work on the upcoming album during a Young Money reunion at Drake’s October World Weekend festival in Toronto in August 2022.

In addition to both Tha Carter VI and Tha Fix Before Tha VI, Wayne reportedly has another album on the way by the end of 2023. During a recent interview with BET, 2 Chainz confirmed that he and Wayne are finishing up a collaborative project. “I’m about to drop a project with Lil Wayne and have tryouts for my G League team, another anniversary for a restaurant I’ve been owning for eight years, so I’m not surprised,” 2 Chainz said of his upcoming plans. Of the collaboration, he added: “I consider Wayne my brother and love working with him. The album is expected to drop before the year ends, and Amazon Music will support the project.” Pre-save Lil Wayne’s upcoming Tha Fix Before Tha VI here.

September 14, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Offset’s been teasing his next album for some time, and has now confirmed its official release date. The LP is called Set It Off, and is slated for release on October 13. The performer previously hinted at the Friday the 13th release date with one of his Michael Jackson-inspired fits, however, fans had yet to receive confirmation until now.

In addition to the new album’s title and release date, Offset also revealed the project’s dramatic cover art. It features an upside-down image of a city engulfed in flames, as the perform hangs suspended in the air. Set It Off is Offset’s second full-length solo album, following 2019’s Father of 4. Fans can’t wait to hear the former Migos star’s latest offering, and to give them a taste, Offset is also releasing a new single. The track, titled “Fan,” is set to drop tomorrow (September 15), alongside an accompanying music video.

In an interview last month, Offset described the project as him diving head-first into his career as a solo artist, and really flexing his true colors as a creative. “The objective is to do it fully and smash sh*t and f*ck the game up as a solo artist,” he explained. “I’m coming through, bustin’ through the door. It’s all set, my next chapter. It’s my time.” Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates on Offset.

Rod Wave Will Embark On “Nostalgia” Arena Tour With Very Special Guests

September 11, 2023 by newhiphopnews

When it comes to contemporary soul-rap, few names etched the genre into the history books as significantly as Rod Wave. While the Florida rapper and singer does well in both genres, it’s when he fuses them together that it makes for some compelling material for listeners, creating a passionate fanbase. That group must be quite excited right now, what with recent singles like “Come See Me” leading up to his next album Nostalgia, which drops this Friday (September 15). To top it all off, Wave recently announced an arena tour in support of the release to take place later this year, and its supporting cast also reflects his style-fusing artistry.

Moreover, Ari Lennox, G Herbo, and Eelmatic will also perform during the Nostalgia tour, whose trek begins on October 19 of this year at the Pinnacle Bank Arena in Lincoln, Nebraska. What’s more is that Toosii will also join them, who’s already toured with Rod Wave. If you want to catch these shows, presale tickets go live on Tuesday (September 12) at 10am local time. General tickets will be available on Thursday (September 14) at the same time, and you can find them on the artist’s official website. Check out all the tour’s dates in the tweet below.

Rod Wave’s Nostalgia Arena Tour 2023 With Ari Lennox, Toosii, G Herbo & Eelmatic

Unfortunately, the huge success that the 25-year-old found over recent years, and that propelled him to this arena tour, came with its fair share of problems and roadblocks. One difficult part for every artist to reckon with is their relationship with the media, or rather how the media paints them. Recently, he took to his Instagram Story to give some brief but frustrated words on the subject. “fame s**t l*me,” Rod Wave wrote. “square a** blog n***as even worse. Anybody can say your name how they want to, and a blog site jus gone spread it to da world. and ppl believe it. s**t not fair. don’t even care who y’all hurt wit dat s**t.”

Meanwhile, it must feel a lot better to directly connect with fans rather than through the media middle man. As such, given how much he tours to begin with, we’re sure that this team of talent will enjoy their trek as much as possible. All that’s left now is to wait and see what Friday’s Nostalgia holds in store. Once again, check out the tour dates above and come back to HNHH for the latest news and updates on Rod Wave.

Cardi B & Megan Thee Stallion’s Collab Single “BONGOS” Drops This Week

September 4, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The Bardi Gang and the Hotties are losing their minds on social media right now, because what they’ve been waiting for is finally here. Amid a lot of successful singles, features, legal drama, relationship drama, and a whole lot else, both femcees have been relatively quiet on the solo music release front. However, that all changed on Monday (September 4) when Cardi B finally followed up her promise for a big announcement. What’s more is that this actually confirms previous rumors and brings us not just one rap return, but two. Moreover, she and Megan Thee Stallion will release their new single “BONGOS” this week, on Friday (September 8).

Of course, this is incredibly exciting news for fans of either artist, or for people that want another smash rap hit. After all, these are the two ladies that brought us “WAP”: how could they not have another banger on their hands? No matter what Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion bring us this time, though, it still marks the start of the former’s new album rollout, presumably. The Invasion Of Privacy era is no more, and after five years of waiting, it’s a welcome treat.

Sure, this is confirmation that followed an innumerable amount of teases, hints, and speculation about the Bronx MC’s next moves. Said excitement also goes for Megan Thee Stallion. Regardless, Cardi B seems more ready than ever to usher in a new phase of her career for fans. “I’m not going to release any more collaborations, I’m going to put out my next solo single,” she told Vogue Mexico in an August cover story (which didn’t age well, but hey, we’re not complaining). “Right now I’m working on the cover art and ideas for the next record because it’s definitely coming up. So stay tuned because it’s coming out very soon. I also have plans in the world of cinema. In fact, I have plans to do everything I can: fashion, branding, I want to do it all, honey.”

Meanwhile, fans wonder whether this will mark a stylistic shift for either artist. Are we getting another hip-hop trunk-knocker and club rager, or is there something fresh to uncover? We’ll have to wait until this Friday to see. With that in mind, log back into HNHH for the latest news and updates on Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion.

Cardi B Responds To “Delusional Minds” Hating On Her Upcoming Announcement

September 4, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Cardi B’s sophomore album has been a long time coming, but it seems the New Yorker might finally have an update for us today (September 4). Over the weekend she revealed via Instagram that she had a “big announcement to make” on Monday, and while the Bardi Gang is definitely excited to hear what she has to say, haters aren’t holding back on expressing their discontent. When @theneighborhoodtalk reposted Cardi’s message on their blog, the Hustlers actress couldn’t help but peak in the comment section. She obviously wasn’t pleased by what she read.

“THESE COMMENTS ARE VICIOUS ,” the 30-year-old replied to her haters. “Soooo… In y’all delusional minds I’m supposed to drop WHEN? In 2025???” Cardi asked. It seems The Barbz in particular are upset about the Grammy Award winner potentially confirming the arrival of her next LP later this year, shortly after Nicki Minaj did the same. “B**ches been dropping every month and I still stuck with my plans,” Bardi reminded readers.

“So now I gotta wait six months after b**ches dropped?” the fashionista’s rant continued. “Do I need permission or something? See y’all tomorrow .” Cardi teased. It’s obviously still early in the day so we have yet to hear from her, but still, hip-hop heads are eager to hear what the lyricist has to say. We’ve heard her on hit singles like “JEALOUSY” with Offset, as well as FendiDa Rappa’s “Point Me 2” and Latto’s “Put It On Da Floor Again.” The last time Bardi gave us a single of her own was in summer 2022 when she linked up with Kanye West and Lil Durk on “Hot S**t.”

In lighter news, September hasn’t been all drama for Cardi B so far. In fact, the mother of two began her month by debuting her stunning new photos on the cover of Vogue Mexico‘s latest issue. Check those out at the link below, and tap back in later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Drake & Cole Bennett Announce Music Video In The Works

September 3, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Amid a lot of hype for his upcoming album For All The Dogs, Drake recently announced what’s assumedly a big part of his rollout. There are a lot of things that can contribute to a project lead-up: singles, press runs, tours, and of course, music videos. What’s more is that this marks a first-time collaboration between the “Privileged Rappers” MC and one of the best in the game when it comes to visuals. Moreover, he recently posted on his Instagram Story that he’s working on a music video with none other than Cole Bennett. If you don’t recognize that name, you will most definitely recognize many MVs from his long list of directed work via his creative outlet, Lyrical Lemonade.

“Coming soon,” Drake captioned a picture of Cole with a camera with an owl and lemon emoji. “I was gonna keep it a secret but…” Bennett replied in an IG Story of his own reposting Drizzy’s photo. This is overall a very exciting prospect, not just for the historic nature of this team-up but for the anticipation surrounding For All The Dogs. More importantly, though, it’s a massive level-up for the acclaimed director in terms of visibility, though he doesn’t need the OVO mogul to keep building his career forward.

Drake & Cole Bennett Are Cooking Up Something Special

For example, Cole Bennett recently worked with Lil Yachty once more for the video for his recent single, “TESLA.” With colorfully coordinated shots, crisp clarity, and compelling composition, it’s a simple but effective display of his talents. Considering Yachty and Drake’s own great relationship, maybe this is the connection that Bennett needed to link up with the latter. However, with the massive reputation he’s already amassed, there’s no way that the Toronto superstar wasn’t aware of his reach.

No matter how you slice it, this opportunity gathered more conversation and buzz than most music videos these days. It’ll be very exciting to see what they craft together. All we can hope for is that, if they’re happy with it and fans are too, it won’t be their last team-up. For more news and the latest updates on Drake and Cole Bennett, come back to HNHH.

Earlier this year, she even starred alongside Lil Meech in the music video for her single “Let’s Talk About It.” NBA YoungBoy, on the other hand, recently teamed up with Bktherula for a remake of her LVL5 P1 track, “CRAZY GIRL.” The duo unveiled “CRAZY GIRL P2” last week, starring together in an accompanying music video.

The Louisiana native has already dropped two full-length mixtapes this year, Don’t Try This at Home and Richest Opp. He also recently received quite the co-sign from Birdman, who told him that the fate of his genre is in his hands. “This sh*t too watered down,” he explained. “You gotta save Hip Hop, bruh,” he continued. “Nephew, gotta save this sh*t bruh. Real talk.” Keep an eye on HNHH for more updates on Queen Naija and NBA YoungBoy.
