A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie Is Back In His Ballad Bag With Pre-Album Sampler “ALONE”

April 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Highbridge, Bronx, New York rapper and singer A Boogie Wit da Hoodie is taking on the role of the former on his new EP ALONE. The 28-year-old Artist is gearing up for his eighth project Better Off Alone, which will be due on May 17, according to Genius. Over the course of his career, the “Swervin” creator has given us plenty of ballads on every release. It is part of the reason why he has become such a popular figure from the East Coast. So, to tide fans over, A Boogie is doing just that for four tracks on ALONE.

For us, the production is what stands out. The moody, atmospheric, mostly piano-backed instrumentals sound expensive, so it is clear that he was not trying to cheat fans out of good sonics, even on an EP. The singing/rapping is heavily auto tuned, but it does not turn us off. In some cases, it actually works for the betterment for tracks like the opener “Tiffanys.”

“No More Questions” might be the highlight for us, though. We find that Boogie arguably gives us his most passionate singing and spitting performance. There is also a touching tribute to his late friend and collaborator PnB Rock. On the backend of the song, there is a slowed down version of Rock’s chorus on the 2017 GTTM: Goin Thru the Motions cut “Questions” that adds a nice extra bit of memorability factor.

Fridayy’s Deep & Soothing Voice Is A Treat On His New Ballad “Without You”

March 9, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Rappers are spoiled these days when it comes to having options for a R&B feature. Artists like The Weeknd, Sampha, Summer Walker, SZA, and 6LACK, are just a handful of terrific selections. They can really transform and elevate the listening experience of any track and we have it seen it happen time and time again. Another name that needs to be added to that never-ending list is Fridayy, especially after his new single “Without You.”

He is of Haitian and American descent who is from Pennsylvania. He is not a rookie on the site by any means. However, he certainly does not get the same shine and appreciation for his work. He is a master when it comes to blending hip-hop, R&B, gospel, and Afrobeats. “Without You” sees Fridayy take elements of the second and the latter.

Listen To “Without You” By Fridayy

On his first solo record of the year, he pens a song about his deep love and connection he has with a woman. He feels incomplete without her, but she is giving him some confusing signs as well. You truly feel his heart breaking a little bit, especially with his patented baritone delivery. Be sure to check out Fridayy’s latest offering above, you will not be let down.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single, “Without You,” by Fridayy? Is this one of his better songs as of late, why or why not?

Quotable Lyrics:

One last time, I get to see your face (Yeah)
Knowin’ you won’t take your love away (Yeah)
Lookin’ over your body, tellin’ you to give me a sign
Standin’ right here, waitin’ on you to open your eyes
Oh, could this be the last time that I get to hold your hand?
I’m breakin’ down, I hear you tellin’ me to be a man
