Governor Phil Murphy Deemed Beyoncé ‘The Queen Honey-Bey Of The Garden State’ Ahead Of Her New Jersey Shows

July 29, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Everyone’s got Beyoncé fever — including Governor Phil Murphy. Yesterday (July 28), ahead of the one-year anniversary of Bey’s seventh studio album, Renaissance, and her upcoming two performances at MetLife Stadium this weekend, the New Jersey governor revealed himself to be a member of the Beyhive, and gave Beyoncé a special title — the Queen Honey-Bey of the Garden State.

In a video shared to Twitter, Murphy honored Beyoncé with the title, and gave a special shoutout to many of her songs — hits and deep cuts alike.

“Hey New Jersey, did you know Beyoncé is performing at MetLife Stadium?” said Murphy in the video. “No it’s not deja vu, the Queen Bey herself will actually be coming to New Jersey. In honor of her two performances this weekend, I have officially proclaimed Beyoncé the Queen Bey of the Garden State.”

He continued, saying “Queen Bey — New Jersey would have a problem if you didn’t perform at MetLife for for your Renaissance tour. Your New Jersey BeyHive will always be crazy in love with you. We are all heated to know we will be living cozy in your presence this weekend.”

He then signed off, saying, “XO, Governor Murphy.”

In honor of @Beyonce blessing New Jersey with her presence this weekend, I hereby proclaim the Irreplaceable lyrical genius “Queen Honey-Bey” of the Garden State.

I hope this weekend is a Party to remember. #BeyHive pic.twitter.com/kS9ucife0z

Travis Scott, Beyonce & Bon Iver Conjure Magic On “DELRESTO (ECHOES)”

July 29, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Travis Scott’s UTOPIA landed like an alien spacecraft in a football field, to absolutely no one’s surprise. Moreover, La Flame’s sixth full-length project is surprising, otherworldly, ambitious, and lush with sonic detail and obtuse lyricism. While there are too many highlights and amazing moments to name, “DELRESTO (ECHOES)” certainly stands out as one of its most notable and shocking moments. With assistance from two revered vocal titans in Beyoncé and Bon Iver, this makes for one of the best moments on the LP on first listen due to the reveal of its hidden features. In addition, it features production from Travis, Bey, James Blake, Allen Ritter, Hit-Boy, Mike Dean, and umru, making for a vibrant and progressive instrumental.

In fact, it might remind many listeners of Beyonce’s RENAISSANCE with its house-inspired rhythms and musical aesthetics. However, there’s also something tribal, ritualistic, and almost holy about the always tense but never fully explosive progression of “DELRESTO (ECHOES).” That might be a turn-off for some, but the constant build-up feels more like a journey of peace than a throwaway, half-baked idea for a song. Beyonce and Bon Iver both stun with their passionate vocal performances, and Travis Scott switches from melodic flows to rapid-fire bars with ease. With multiple synth layers, additional instruments, and variations throughout the song, the track feels complete without exaggerating its opulence.

Meanwhile, it seems like this collab between these Houston stars has been a long time coming. With that history in mind, this adds even more gravity and impact to “DELRESTO (ECHOES)” and its fusion of styles. In an album full of darkness and dystopian soundscapes, this song is a beacon of light peppered in that is sure to rejuvenate and inspire you. If you haven’t heard UTOPIA yet, you can find it on your preferred streaming service and check out some standout lines from this song below. Also, log back into HNHH for the latest news and updates on Beyonce, Bon Iver, and Travis Scott.

Quotable Lyrics
The height we made is paranormal
We shake and wake up to paranoia
Won’t let it destroy you, won’t let it annoy you
I’m tryin’ to enjoy you in front of the foyer

Travis Scott Teams Up With Fellow H-Town Legend Beyoncé On ‘Delresto (Echoes)’

July 28, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Travis Scott‘s fourth studio album, Utopia, is finally here. Over the course of the past week, the album has caused a lot of mixed emotions for Scott’s fans. While many fans are lauding Utopia‘s five different album artworks, some are devasted that Scott’s Egypt concert — which was set to live stream from the Giza pyramids — has been canceled. We can’t imagine how the fan who sold his house to buy tickets must feel.

But regardless, Utopia is finally here and in the hands of fans. As with any of Scott’s albums, Utopia features a coveted list of guests. But one particular track is already proving buzzy among fans.

On “Delresto (Echoes)” Scott is joined by another Houston legend — the one and only Beyoncé.

Over a thrilling, haunting beat, Bey opens, showing off her rap chops, then delivering immaculate melodies.

“Statues in the next room / billions in Escrow / bulletproof the whole thing / ignore the dress code / Step into the ballroom / So hard to let go / Things that never give life / I can see the echoes,” she raps feverously, before delivering an intoxicating hook.

You can listen to “Delresto (Echoes)” above.

Utopia is out now via Epic Records. Find more information here.

Earlier this month, Beyoncé began the North American leg of her Renaissance World Tour.

Of course, the Beyoncé economy extends to the internet. On Wednesday, July 26, Amazon Music released its Drop 2.0 of Renaissance World Tour merchandise, which represents “the second of the four-part exclusive online collection that is being released throughout the North American leg.”

Drop 2.0 includes the “Alien Superstar” tee ($35), “Virgo’s Groove” tee ($35), “Heated” tee ($35), “Summer Renaissance” tee ($35), and the Renaissance World Tour sticker pack ($30).

The latter item “comes with 16 black-and-white graphic stickers, each with their own unique design,” and each tee takes its name from track on Beyoncé’s acclaimed July 2022 album, Renaissance. The full collection is available here.
