Big Sean Joins Larry June & The Alchemist On A Trip To “Palisades, CA”

by

Larry June and The Alchemist are coming through with an early contender for Album Of The Year, and they’ve enlisted Big Sean for their latest single. With The Greatness due out on Friday, June and Alc’ came through with their breezy new track, “Palisades, CA.” The Alchemist’s ethereal production leads the way, filled with an eerie vocal sample and enchanting strings before June comes through with eloquent lifestyle bars. 

June’s motivational bars pair perfectly with The Alchemist’s production. However, it’s Big Sean that drives the point home. The Detroit spitter brings a velvety, lax flow before jumping into a double-time delivery where he comes through with a mind-blowing verse. As June closes out his verse describing the importance of betting on oneself, Sean Don details reaping the benefits of his labor. More noticeably, Sean indicates on his verse that he’ll be “dropping soon.” This marks Big Sean’s first time touching a beat from The Alchemist, so hopefully, this could open the doors for further collaborations between the two on the Detroit rapper’s next project.

Larry June & Big Sean Lock In Over The Alchemist’s Production

It sounds like Larry June and The Alchemist have cooked up a special project from their recent offerings. Earlier this month, they announced the project with the release of “89 Earthquake,” bringing together Alchemist’s unique ear for production with June’s laidback California vibes. Then, they slid through with “60 Days,” which found The Alchemist making a return to the booth to trade bars with June.

At this point, neither Alchemist nor Larry June has unveiled the official tracklist for the project but we could only imagine that it’ll be filled with some heavy hitters. Between Alchemist’s expansive network of rappers he’s worked with in recent times, and June’s prolific output over the years that found him working alongside everyone from Curren$y to Money Man, we expect that they’ll have a stacked tracklist on The Greatness, which arrives on  March 31st.

Quotable Lyrics
Some people can’t piece life together, it’s really puzzlin’
Talkin’ ’bout “Trust me, I got you”, but I’m not trustin’ it
Commercial real-estate by The Fox, yeah, they constructin” it
Business flowin’ like the symphony orchestra, I’m conductin’ it

JPEGMAFIA & Danny Brown Are Unapologetically “Scaring The Hoes” On New Single

by

Hip-hop oddballs Danny Brown and JPEGMAFIA are gearing up to finally deliver their joint project, Scaring The Hoes Vol. 1. The two rappers formed an incredible bond over the years, though it wasn’t limited to music. In a sense, JPEGMAFIA looked up to Danny Brown as a mentor while the Detroit legend regarded Peggy as an exciting new voice in the rap game. Though they collaborated in the past, Scaring The Hoes Vol. 1 will mark their first collaborative joint together.

When Danny Brown dropped his last studio album, he told HotNewHipHop that he didn’t actually want to do a joint project with JPEGMAFIA. “I think the joint project stuff is getting a little corny. If anything, we’ll just keep this relationship musically forever. I’m always on his shit, he always on my shit,” he explained, though he admitted they bring the best out of each other. “There’s strength in numbers, man, if you got your brothers with you. You’ll make doper shit. You bounce off of each other, you inspire each other.”

Danny Brown and JPEGMAFIA Share Title Track Off Of “Scaring The Hoes Vol. 1”

Danny Brown and JPEGMAFIA debuted the first single off fo the project last week, “Lean Beef Patty.” The glitchy banger allowed both of their weirdness to thrive but today, they’ve given fans a bit more insight into what to expect. Danny and Peggy shared the title track off of the project, alongside a new visual. Though another short effort, Danny and Peggy come through with punk rock energy and plenty of bars.

The latest offering from the project delves deeper into the strange pockets of Internet absurdity that they admittedly linger. The video opens up with Danny paying homage to the infamous Unforgivable series before he and JPEGMAFIA utilize breakbeats and jazz horns for a huge anthem. The two will finally reveal the project, Scaring The Hoes Vol. 1 this Friday.

Quotable Lyrics
Fuck that hip-hop and that old man flow
Where the autotune at? Give a fuck about a trash
‘Cause the art is for the scams, catch up old man
Said it ain’t about the bars, cause it’s all about the brand

Danny Brown & JPEGMAFIA’s Collab Album Gets Release Date

by

Danny Brown & JPEGMAFIA’s upcoming collab album just got a leaked release date of March 24th. According to online discussion and alleged leaks, they’ll drop two new singles for the project on March 13th and 21st, respectively. Of course, a lot of these rumors come from leaks and not directly from the artists, so take them with a grain of salt. Still, there is a lot we do know about the album that Peggy and Danny confirmed previously. For example, they teased “Lean Beef Patty” as the first single, the album is completed, and yes, that is the legit title.

Following these teases on The Danny Brown Show (plus a killer snippet), some new information spread on Twitter this week. Not only did those release dates seemingly leak, but we have a tracklist and cover art to inspect. Some standouts from the tracklist are “Steppa Pig,” “Shut Yo B***h A** Up / Muddy Waters,” and “Jack Harlow Combo Meal.” Again, take these titles as truth with caution, but they sound quite in line with their sense of humor. After all, one of Peggy’s most well-known songs is “Jesus Forgive Me, I Am A Thot.”

Danny Brown & JPEGMAFIA’s Collab Album Is Coming Soon

Even though many of these details are still online speculation, fans know that this project will bring some absolute heat. Moreover, both artists will apparently drop three album each this year, including their collab. On his end, Peggy’s already expressed that he’s in solo album mode after finishing Scaring The H*es. On the other hand, Danny’s found incredible success through his extracurricular endeavors: shows, streaming, podcasts, you name it. Still, don’t get it twisted: he remains one of the hardest rappers working today.

If you’ve never gotten into either artist, this outing might actually be a great place to start. They both bring incredibly raw energy and a strong charisma, and mix chronic Internet use with grimy hip-hop. While these incredible MCs seem ready to take on the world, there’s no way we’re ready for what they crafted. Regardless, log back into HNHH for the latest news and updates on Danny Brown and JPEGMAFIA.

Scaring The H*es Vol. 1 Gets Release Date

Denzel Curry Reveals Upcoming Project Will Be A Collab Album

by

Denzel Curry just took to Twitter to tease that his next project will be a collab album, which should get fans rabid for more information. Moreover, the Miami rapper addressed previous hints that his next album would be Designed By Angels. According to Curry, his next album will no longer be that, but rather a collaborative effort titled ULT Or Die. While he didn’t say when or with who this album would be releasing, he did give fans a mission. After teasing them, he asked fans to bring his song “Walkin” past 60 million streams on Spotify, and if they do, he’ll spill the beans.

“AT THIS POINT RIGHT NOW DESIGNED BY ANGELS WILL NOT BE THE NEXT ALBUM,” he tweeted early Friday morning (March 10). “THE COLLAB TAPE WILL BE THE NEXT THING THAT DROPS BUT I DONT KNOW WHEN. IT MIGHT IN A YEAR IT MIGHT BE TONIGHT WHO KNOWS. ULT OR DIE COLLAB TAPE COMING SOON WITH… NONE OF YO GAWTDAMN BUSINESS. GET THIS PAST 60 MILLION AND ILL LET YOU HEAR WHAT IM WORKING ON.“

Denzel Curry Teases Collab Album

Of course, it’s not like the “CLOUT COBAIN” MC has stayed completely silent since last year’s excellent Melt My Eyez See Your Future. Not only did he release an expanded edition of the album with soulful and jazzy live instrumentation, but he’s been on quite the feature run. His most recent venture was assisting midwxst’s “Tally,” which showed him on his typical cold, smooth flows. As one of the most consistently impressive artists working today, anything he drops is a treat for hip-hop fans.

Still, that doesn’t mean that he should be complacent with the success and acclaim he’s already experienced and received. Moreover, he expressed disappointment in the Grammy nominations in rap categories this year. Not only did they miss out on his album, but also the greatness of JID, Freddie Gibbs, and many more. Even though the Recording Academy might not give these leaders their flowers, they’re referred to as leaders for a reason. Regardless, check back in with HNHH for the latest news and updates on Denzel Curry.

Lil Yachty Wants A Collab Album With Tyler, The Creator

by

Let’s Start Here is one of the most talked about and acclaimed albums of the year so far, and its creator is looking to continue in that direction. Moreover, Lil Yachty recently expressed that he’d love to do a collab album with Tyler, the Creator. Not only that, but he told Billboard during an interview that the Golf Wang mogul inspired him to experiment in the first place. While many turned Yachty’s album into thinkpiece fodder, its most triumphant victory is the sheer quality, creativity, and artistic vision on display regardless of what he did or didn’t do before. In a similar way, Tyler’s been one of the most evolutionary and artistically motivated figures of our time, so the connection is unsurprising but incredibly exciting.

“[Tyler] is the reason I made this album,” the Atlanta creator expressed. “He’s the one who told me to do it, just go for it. He’s so confident and I have so much respect for him because he takes me seriously, and he always has.” Later in the interview, he added, “I would love to do a project with Tyler.” 

Lil Yachty & Tyler, The Creator Collab Album Could Happen One Day

Of course, this should send fans of either or both artists into a frenzy. Furthermore, the 25-year-old crafted one of the year’s most definitive pieces of music so far, kicking off 2023 with a lot of discussion and acclaim. Meanwhile, fans of T know that he’s due another project quite soon, as it’s an odd year and it’s been two years since his last album. The former Odd Future boss hasn’t strayed from his release schedule yet, although he’s so deep into his acclaimed career that a switch-up wouldn’t be frustrating at all.

Still, if a collaborative track, album, video, or whatever else sees the light of day, it should make for a really colorful team-up. After all, their track “T.D.” from Yachty’s Lil Boat 3 was a fun banger that also featured A$AP Rocky and Tierra Whack. However you may feel about their music, you can’t deny that they’re two of the rap-adjacent world’s most boundary-pushing leaders in 2023. Regardless, check back in with HNHH for the latest on Lil Yachty and Tyler, the Creator.

Metro Boomin Confirms 2023 Release Date For Future Collab Album

by

Few hip-hop producers today- or ever, for that matter- are able to reach the self-made artistic dominance of Young Metro. He may only have a few solo projects to his name, but he indelibly shaped so many projects from this era. From producing hot singles to helping behind the scenes to, most famously, his joint projects, Metro’s done it all. In fact, Metro Boomin recently said that his upcoming collab album with Future will release in 2023. Of course, they already teased this before, but to hear further confirmation is always exciting, especially from these two longtime collaborators that still recently put out some of their best work.

FLAUNT magazine recently debuted a cover story with the producer on Monday (March 6), shortly after his second No. 1 album HEROES & VILLAINS. During said interview, he spoke on performing with Future for his One Big Party tour stop in Atlanta. “Oh, that was fire,” he shared. “You know, Pluto, that’s my brother. We’ve been at it for a long time. This whole superhero moment, it’s like the beginning of our phase two. We haven’t had a song out since ‘Mask Off,’ they’ve been on our heads. With this, and then the whole State Farm thing, it’s starting to slowly put people on notice: we crankin’ that s**t back up too.”

Later on, he said that their upcoming full-length team-up will most likely come out this year. “Definitely,” he expressed, “I would bet on it. I would definitely bet on it.” Previously, he called the project the “album of the year” in an Apple Music interview. “Let me tell you why,” the 29-year-old went on. “[Future] actually finished most of the album at my studio in L.A. That’s my brother, but we’re working on some things. At first, we were going to put a couple of songs with me and him on the album, but we had took them off because I had talked to him.”

Meanwhile, the star producer recently landed some other huge wins. For example, he sold a chunk of publishing rights to his catalog for $70 million on Tuesday (March 7). With his continuing to release new music, hopefully that means he’ll have more direct control of what he decides to put out, at least for now. Usually these deals have some odd implications for artists, but for Metro, it’s just him knowing what he’s worth and that the best is yet to come. Regardless, stay logged into HNHH for the latest news and updates on Metro Boomin.

T.I. Says He Has No Beef With Boosie

by

T.I. recently stated that he has no beef with Boosie Badazz, despite what recent weeks indicated. For those of you unaware, the two engaged in a social media spat after Boosie called off their joint album, saying that T.I. snitched on his late cousin. Now, TMZ caught up with him outside The Cheesecake Factory, where he laughed off the feud when first asked about it. Moreover, he told the publication that “someone misspoke,” referring to Boosie, and that he knows he’s wrong. Furthermore, the Atlanta icon said that they’ll work out those issues between themselves and not in the public eye.

“The way it should’ve been in the first place,” Tip said of the two making amends outside of the media spotlight. In addition, he expressed that these situations are bigger than any handful of tracks, and said that’s why getting the music out there isn’t the main focus for him right now. Also, as a bit of an extra question, the interviewer asked T.I. what advice he has for young rappers trying to make it. “They gon’ have to go through it to get through it,” he remarked, saying his advice is nothing compared to an individual’s experiences.

Meanwhile, the “Live Your Life” MC actually instigated plenty of furtherance of this Boosie feud online, so his words here are a bit odd. For example, he posted paperwork allegedly proving Boosie’s claims and information were false. In fact, he even invited him to a live event so the Baton Rouge rapper could see them for himself. However, he didn’t make it to the venue, which T.I. was not happy with.

“Let a motherf***er know that the paperwork was present,” he stated to many fans. “I’ve been waiting on one special invited guest to show up, but he ain’t showed up yet. But he ain’t here to see my paperwork. So come on if you got something to say. I wanna see who wanna see, you hear me? After you see what you need to see, it’s on you now.” Regardless of your take, come back to HNHH for the latest on T.I. and Boosie Badazz.

Drake & 21 Savage Drop Music Video For “Spin Bout U” Off “Her Loss”

by

Drake & 21 Savage just dropped the music video for their Her Loss cut, “Spin Bout U.” Moreover, it tells a pretty over-the-top but dangerously entertaining tale of excess, love, loss, and revenge. While 21 and Drizzy enjoy their time on a lavish cruise, they find a woman drowning next to them. After saving her, the 6 God tries to get cozy but she drugs and kidnaps both him and the Atlanta MC. Then, more women arrive to steal their jewelry, tattoo thing on their faces, trash their ship, and eventually burn the whole thing down. A bit before the video ends, they even steal Drake’s engagement ring necklace and execute him, while 21 jumps off the ship to try and escape.

Overall, it’s a pretty ridiculous but also tongue-in-cheek portrayal of toxic love, much like the collaborative album it lands on. Also, this track was an interesting choice for an MV with this theme because of the Canadian superstar’s infamous lines. While they’re peppered all over the tracklist, “Spin Bout U” has some interesting bars about women and relationships. One of them is “Damn, just turned on the news and seen that men who never got p***y in school are makin’ laws about what women can do.” Also there’s “Four words when I think about them is crusty, musty, dusty, rusty / Eight words when I think about us is f**k me, f**k me, f**k me, f**k me.”

Drake & 21 Savage’s “Spin Bout U” Music Video

Meanwhile, the Slaughter Gang head honcho drops some more simple, but still lovey-dovey lines, at least for their standards. “F**k your main page, what’s your Finsta? I wanna know the real you,” he raps alongside typical bars about body counts, material gifts, and, uh, intimacy. Regardless, “Spin Bout U” is a really entertaining video that feeds into criticisms of their perspectives while having fun with its extravagance. In fact, it makes one wonder why there aren’t more music videos from this album, but I guess the rollout’s not over yet.

Speaking of rollout, 21 and Drake recently settled their lawsuit from Condé Nast for their fake Vogue cover promotion for the album. While the company sought at least $4 million in damages, no specific settlement amount was revealed. Still, at least it’s another headache they don’t have to deal with as they continue celebrating their collaboration’s success. With all that in mind, here’s hoping that we get a sequel to this wild and campy narrative from this new visual. Check out the music video for “Spin Bout U” above and return to HNHH for the latest on 21 Savage and Drake.
