Cardi B Hypes Up New Album This Year While Ignoring The Haters

March 1, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Cardi B seems to be kicking off her album rollout into full gear with the new single, “Like What (Freestyle).” Sure, she had already dropped “Bongos” with Megan Thee Stallion, but this solo return is really what has fans prepped for something big on the way. Moreover, the Bronx rapper recently took to Instagram to share a desktop filled to the brim with material she worked on in January of 2023, plus a preview of a DAW arrangement of another track. Not only that, but she confirmed once again that her new album, her sophomore effort and her first in about six years, is arriving this year.

“Look at how long I had this f***ing record for,” Cardi B began her IG video hyping her next move up for fans. “January 27, twenty-twenty-f***ing-three. I was working on this s**t at 5AM, you know I’m a night owl. I promise y’all this year, I’m not letting my anxiety, I’m not letting what haters say, I’m not letting what fans say… If I do a song, I’ma just f***ing drop it. Well, I got no choice, ’cause I’m dropping my album this year, so… Stay tuned for the announcement, but don’t play with me! Don’t play with me! Look how I sound on it. ‘Cause I know I got a thick accent. *plays ‘Like What (Freestyle)’*.”

What’s more is that this new rollout also involves some drama and speculation (maybe planned, maybe not) around Cardi B’s romantic life. As you probably know, she and her on-and-off-again husband Offset seem to be going through a rough -– or at the very least difficult -– patch right now. But given that the former Migo directed the 31-year-old’s visual for “Like What (Freestyle),” it seems like their professional working relationship is smooth as butter. We’ll just have to wait and see if there’s anything deeper here.

Meanwhile, this obviously brought up all the femcee beef that rages online between Nicki Minaj’s Barbz, the Bardi Gang, and more. While that’s a pesky fly buzzing around this new album, we can’t wait to let the windows down and soak it in when it lands. Whoever’s side you’re on, can’t we all just demand some good music and call it a day? Regardless, stick around on HNHH for the latest news and updates on Cardi B.

February 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Cardi B is finally back, and after teasing a new snippet on social media, it looks like she’s ready to kick off her album rollout. Moreover, she announced the “Like What” freestyle dropping this Friday (March 1), which has the Bardi Gang feeling like they’re on top of the world. Not only that, but from what the previews indicated, it seems like this song samples Missy Elliott’s classic “She’s A B***h.” As such, a lot of fans are looking forward to how the Bronx MC will bar up on this beat, and whether or not there will be other homages to her fellow femcees. Either way, we’re excited for what she brings to the table.

Furthermore, die-hards have plenty of reason to celebrate here, mainly that they finally “found” Cardi B on social media. After blacking out her accounts, fans started a campaign to find her online, involving a lot of elaborate memes, graphics, and a whole lot of trending topics and hashtags on Twitter. It just goes to show the level of anticipation that the mother of two has built for six years at this point. It’s been a long time since Invasion Of Privacy, and the Bardi Gang wants to see her excel and prove the haters wrong with something really special.

Cardi B’s Upcoming Single: “Like What” Freestyle

In fact, even Cardi B’s on-and-off again husband Offset is excited for what’s to come. They recently linked up amid rumors of a reconciliation, and the former Migo also took some time to tease upcoming material. Not only that, but he demanded that she drop the album soon, and this “Like What” freestyle hints at that being a prompt reality. Fans went wild when the 31-year-old officially posted the cover art and announcement on her Instagram page on Wednesday (February 28), so all that’s left now is to wait and enjoy this build-up.

Meanwhile, whether or not this couple is actually back together remains to be seen. Regardless, are you excited for these next moves? However you may feel, drop your thoughts and predictions in the comments section down below. Also, as always, come back to HNHH for the latest news and updates on Cardi B.

21 Savage Announces Tour For “American Dream” With JID, Nardo Wick & More

February 27, 2024 by newhiphopnews

2024 is clearly 21 Savage’s year, and he just gave fans another reason as to why it’s his for the taking. Moreover, he just announced The American Dream tour in North America in support of his new album of the same title, running from all of May to mid-June. Not only that, but the Slaughter Gang rapper will hit the stage along with fellow ATLiens JID and 21 Lil Harold, as well as Jacksonville’s own Nardo Wick. If you’re interested in going, it will kick off on May 1 in Vancouver and will wrap up with a hometown show in Atlanta on June 15. Furthermore, the presale goes live on Thursday (February 29) at an unspecified time, with the password “DREAMTOUR” getting you access.

In addition to all the hype surrounding 21 Savage’s american dream, this also completes a full promo rollout for the big release. For example, he recently performed on Saturday Night Live with special guests, which is a much more controlled performance environment. As such, fans are more excited to see the London native in a full tour setting again, just like his recent It’s All A Blur run with Drake. Speaking of the U.K., fans wonder whether The American Dream tour will include a European leg.

Of course, 21 Savage already had his homecoming show there following his immigration struggles and citizenship status. But a lot of other places want to hear what he can bring to a full arena, especially with this new album’s material in mind. Tracks like “née-nah,” “redrum,” and “dangerous” would absolutely pop off in the pits, and the “out for the night” MC has the backing and status to warrant some impressive visuals and set-ups. This isn’t even accounting for the skill, energy, and complete rap performance package that JID, Nardo Wick, and 21 Lil Harold will provide.

Meanwhile, the 31-year-old also found some extra promo for his moves in an unexpected place. Still, a gambling scam scandal with streamer Adin Ross was something he probably did not expect to shock as much as it did. Regardless, it doesn’t make excitement for this tour any less palpable. For more news and the latest updates on 21 Savage, check back in with HNHH.

Blueface Reportedly Expecting Fourth Child With Bonnie Lashay

February 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It’s no secret that the arrival of Blueface’s third child, Chrisean Jr., brought about a great deal of drama. He and the little one’s mother went their separate ways shortly after his birth, and the two former Cr*zy In Love stars immediately started to rip each other to shreds online. Amid all of that, he turned his attention back to the mother of his first two kids, Jaidyn Alexis, kickstarting her rap career and even proposing. They appear to have called things off since, though the “Barbie” MC has been fairly quiet about their current relationship status.

The situation took an interesting turn when Blueface was arrested last month for allegedly violating his parole. Chrisean Rock, for example, began posting about the “Thotiana” performer as if they were an item again. She also recently got a massive face tattoo of his mugshot, only months after having her others covered up. This happened around the same time that yet another woman entered the chat, Bonnie Lashay.

Bonnie Lashay Claims She’s Pregnant

Bonnie is Blueface’s side chick, or so she says, and she’s also been calling for his release since he was arrested. She’s shared various photos and clips of the two of them together, even recently getting her young son involved. According to her, little Armani has a strong relationship with the rapper, and won’t stop talking about how much he misses “Daddy Blue.” As if that’s not shocking enough, Bonnie recently shared a clip of what appears to be her growing baby bump. Allegedly, she’s pregnant with his fourth child.

“I’m Nervous,” she captioned the clip. “Blue face baby Stay Tuned.” What do you think of Bonnie Lashay claiming to be pregnant with Blueface’s child? Do you think the rumors are true? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

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? 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.

Oprah Will Interview Taraji P. Henson Amid Complaints About “The Color Purple”

January 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The Color Purple remake is finally out, and two stars heavily involved in its making are coming together for a chat. Moreover, Oprah Winfrey recently announced that she will interview Taraji P. Henson tonight (Saturday, January 6) on the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN) at 10PM (time zone unclear). However, if you miss the live airing, it will be available on MAX afterwards. “Cookie Lyons. Katherine Johnson. Yvette. And now Shug Avery. Those are the many characters @tarajiphenson has brought to life in ways only she could,” she captioned a picture of her with the actress. “Join us tonight as we sit down to discuss her career and the sisterhood she formed with @thecolorpurple cast! #OWNSpotlight with Taraji P. Henson airs tonight at 10 PM on @owntv and available on @streamonmax after [purple heart emoji].”

Furthermore, this is interesting considering a recent complaint Taraji P. Henson had about this movie’s production. “They gave us rental cars, and I was like, ‘I can’t drive myself to set in Atlanta,’” she told The New York Times in a recent interview. “This is insurance liability, it’s dangerous. Now they robbing people. What do I look like, taking myself to work by myself in a rental car?

“So I was like, ‘Can I get a driver or security to take me?’” Taraji P. Henson continued. “I’m not asking for the moon. They’re like, ‘Well, if we do it for you, we got to do it for everybody.’ Well, do it for everybody! It’s stuff like that, stuff I shouldn’t have to fight for. I was on the set of Empire fighting for trailers that wasn’t infested with bugs.

“[The fight] wears on your soul because you fight so hard to establish a name for yourself and be respected in this town to no avail,” she concluded. “With Black films, they just don’t want to take us overseas and I don’t understand that. Black translates all over the world, so why wouldn’t the movies? I have a following in China of all places. Y’all not going to capitalize on that? Don’t everybody want to make money here? I’m not the person that pulls the race card every time, but what else is it, then? Tell me. I’d rather it not be race, please give me something else.” For more news and the latest updates on Taraji P. Henson and Oprah Winfrey, check back in with HNHH.

Kid Cudi Unveils “INSANO” Producers: Pharrell, BNYX, Clams Casino & Many More

January 4, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kid Cudi’s next album INSANO is right around the corner, and we just got a whole lot more reasons to be very excited for it. Moreover, he decided to unveil the stacked list of producers he enlisted for this equally lengthy project on Twitter on Thursday (January 4). Set for a January 12 release date (in other words, about a week), this should be one of the biggest albums to kick off 2024 and one of the Cleveland native’s most highly teased and anticipated. Not everyone’s been a fan of the teased material, but you can’t deny that his closeness and dedication to his fanbase brings a genuine sincerity to his craft.

Nevertheless, let’s get into Kid Cudi’s wild producer list for INSANO, which hints at a variety of sounds. Some standouts: BNYX, Pharrell, WondaGurl, Clams Casino, Cubeatz, Take A Daytrip, Da Honorable C.N.O.T.E., sadpony, Dot Da Genius, Plain Pat, John Cunningham, Keyon Christ, and so many more. The “Show Out” creative, as such, will probably offer fans a wealth of styles and appeals when it comes to this record’s tracklist. Many of these producers feel pretty comfortable in a trap lane, but they will surely branch out and add their own special flair.

“This talented group of individuals helped me execute something next level,” Kid Cudi further expressed on the social media platform. “I am so thankful to have worked w some really awesome folks, and next week u will all hear the magic we all created.” Fortunately, this once again steered his page into a more positive direction following a quick clap-back at a troll. Furthermore, they suggested that the 39-year-old wore a dress on Saturday Night Live because he’s a part of the Illuminati.

“Dear Issac u silly lil person and all people under this post,” he replied. “I got time for muthaf***as like u today. This post is mad f***in l*me of u and sad. A black man cant express himself and be confident AND successful with out it being some conspiracy. My success was givin to me by God with the help of my many angels. All u people in the [comments] that have been tweetin me all day about this s**t can gargle on my mayo. This moment was a proud moment for me, a shinin moment for all people who express themselves in their art.

Skepta Finally Announces New Album, Lead Single Coming In January

January 1, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Just about a month ago, Skepta teamed up with 19-year-old producer Ryder for the 48 Hours EP, a solid offering. However, its quality still didn’t dissuade his fan from lamenting the lack of a full-length solo album since 2020’s Insomnia, although a new house-based project with Jammer under the name Más Tiempo is apparently in the works. Regardless, die-hards are still waiting for a follow-up, but fortunately, 2024 brings us very good news. It hasn’t even been a full 24 hours into the year as of writing this article, and we’re already sure that many listeners found their most anticipated project of the year.

“It’s been years since I dropped my last album,” Skepta shared in a message to his various social media accounts on Monday (January 1). “I want to thank you for all the love during my hiatus. I’ve seen the messages, tweets and Tik Toks, I’m truly grateful that my music is still resonating with the world, even in my absence. I’m happy to announce my next studio album #KnifeAndFork is loading this year, the first single #GasMeUp (Diligent) will be out January 26th. Can’t wait to see you all @bigsmokefestival happy 2024.”

Furthermore, it looks like the legendary grime MC is finally coming through with some LP heat in this new year. Hopefully no release hiccups or delays occur, but at least we already have solid indication that “Gas Me Up (Diligent)” is going to be a banger. A snippet of the Skepta single released on social media recently, and many fans are singing its praises. The “Can’t Play Myself” artist flows with easy skill and the same confidence as ever over a perc-heavy and blissfully woozy trap instrumental.

Listen To The “Gas Me Up (Diligent)” Snippet

Meanwhile, as his A$AP Rocky collab “Praise Da Lord (Da Shine)” hit 1 billion Spotify streams, Big Smoke has a lot to celebrate from 2023. Fortunately, it seems like he’s focusing those successes and that time off to really hone in on something special for his fanbase. Are you looking forward to Knife And Fork, and where do you think the 41-year-old will take us with this vision?
