Pitbull & Bon Jovi Surprise Fans With A New Collaboration, “Now Or Never”

November 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Pitbull teamed up with Bon Jovi for a remix of the singer’s iconic song, “It’s My Life,” titled, “Now or Never.” The two previously teased the collaboration during a concert in September. “The world’s always comin’ to an end / Don’t let it scare you out of livin’ / Look at me, mama, against all odds, your little baby boy did it,” Pitbull raps on the track. “Every day I say thank you / Every day I give thanks, every day’s Thanksgiving.” Bon Jovi dropped the original version back in 2000 from the album, Crush.

While fans on social media appear to be surprised by the collaboration, they seem to still be enjoying it. “Never did I think Pit Bull and Bon Jovi would team up, but they did, and it is Amazing!” one fan wrote in the YouTube comments section for the official video. Another added: “Admittedly I really don’t listen a lot to Pitbull, but I have been listening to Bon Jovi for a long time. I will admit this was one pretty cool collaboration! Great job gentlemen!” Check out Pitbull and Bon Joni’s “Now or Never” below. The two performed the song at the Latin Grammys on Thursday. Be on the lookout for further updates on the two singers on HotNewHipHop.

Pitbull & Bon Joni Remix “It’s My Life”

Quotable Lyrics:

Every day I say thank you
Every day I give thanks, every day’s Thanksgiving
Living is givin’, introduce NASCAR to a new culture, winnin’
Every second, every minute
Every hour, every day, every year I’m here (I’m here!)
Just live your life like Frank Sinatra, your way, and have no fear

Metro Boomin Appears To Tease Post-Prison Young Thug Collab

November 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Young Thug was finally released from prison last week following a long and difficult legal battle. The rapper accepted a plea deal, and will now spend 15 years on probation. He must also abide by various release conditions, including having no contact with alleged gang members or YSL affiliates. This doesn’t include his brother or Gunna, who he specifically requested permission to work with again.

Fortunately for fans, it doesn’t look like Young Thug has wasted any time getting back to work or reconnecting with his old collaborators and friends. Last night, for example, Metro Boomin hopped on his Instagram Story to tease what appears to be a new song for him. For now, it remains unclear exactly when supporters can plan to hear it, but they’re thrilled nonetheless.

Metro Boomin Is Cooking Something Up

Metro Boomin doesn’t seem to be the only fellow artist Young Thug is teaming up with following his release, however. Last week, he took to X with a message for the first time since getting out of prison. “Real plea deal jack!” he wrote in one tweet, followed by “Wham let’s drop one on these rats peter.” Lil Baby went on to welcome Young Thug home in a heartfelt message on his Instagram Story. “I missed you mf !!” it read. “Welcome home my brudda! Thank god you able to get back to the fam in good health and spirits! Wish ya none but billions jack! #whateverwhamsaygoes.” Lil Baby even previewed a new track at the Don’t Fall In Love festival in San Bernardino, CA over the weekend, though it’s unconfirmed whether or not it’ll feature Young Thug.

The meet-up also has fans theorizing that T.I. will be coming out of retirement to work with Thug on new music. He previously claimed to be done with performing while appearing on 96.1 The Beat’s afternoon show Rari at 2. “I appreciate y’all for offering me my last working gig because I do not need the money anymore and I will not be performing,” he said, last month. “I don’t want to do it anymore. … I don’t want people to pay me to hop around and sweat for their entertainment anymore.”

KidSuper Records Recruits Giggs & Quavo For Debut Single “Big In Da Game”

October 26, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Colm Dillane, a fashioner designer who has been a part of some of the grandest runway stages, is launching a new creative project for himself. He’s always had a passion for music and has been working on some other things behind the scenes. However, the 33-year-old mind is launching his own record label called KidSuper. To get things off on the right foot, Dillane is here with “Big In Da Game.” It’s a single that has been in the works for a little while, according to Hypebeast. Him and the UK rap legend crossed paths while the latter was filming a music video with Dave East.

The location just happened to be in front of Dillane’s KidSuper Roebling Street headquarters. They connected and got to work shortly after on the single. It went on to be previewed at Dillane’s Paris Fashion Week STRING THEORY Fall/Winter 2024 show. Ironically, Quavo happened to be at the event, liked what he heard, and asked to be on the single. So, that’s the origin story of how KidSuper’s “Big In Da Game” came to be, but how does it sound? Overall, it’s pretty standard trap braggadocio, but it’s a solid start for one of the newest labels on the block.

“Big In Da Game” – KidSuper, Giggs, & Quavo

Quotable Lyrics:

V12 engine, just swapped out the motor
Pull up with a stallion, she bite like a cobra (Skrrt, skrrt)
Won’t do no plan, if I got, I’m sprayin’
Right in my palms, the way that they land (Fah)
Sell out the 02 Arena for real (Fah, fah)
If I’m on the stage, your b**** in the stands (Yeah)

GloRilla & Megan Thee Stallion Pack A Punch On New Track “HOW I LOOK”

October 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

On Friday, GloRilla finally unleashed her eagerly anticipated debut album, Glorious. The project includes various features from Latto, Sexyy Red, Bossman Dlow, and more. Megan Thee Stallion even hopped on the high-octane track “HOW I LOOK,” which has quickly become a fan favorite. On it, the two femcees deliver hard-hitting bars about refusing to lower their standards, clashing with competitors, and more.

This isn’t the first time fans have heard the duo on the same song, however. They also teamed up for “Wanna Be” earlier this year, which appeared on GloRilla’s mixtape, Ehhthang Ehhthang. In May, they dropped a remix of the single alongside Cardi B. Glo then went on to join Megan Thee Stallion on her “Hot Girl Summer” tour. Fans can agree that the pair works well together, and fortunately, it looks like they could have more new music on the way.

During an interview with Billboard last month, Meg hinted at the possibility of a joint album. “I think that would be very fire. I ain’t gon’ say too much, but it feels like it’s going to get done,” she said at the time. Glo agreed, adding “Megan is a real rapper, and I’m also a real rapper […] We actually be talking and coming with bars on some down South gangsta sh*t. [It would be] some down South, real turnt, real rap [sh*t].” What do you think of GloRilla’s new song with Megan Thee Stallion? What about her new album Glorious? Do you think they should drop a joint album? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

GloRilla Recruits Megan Thee Stallion For Glorious

D’Angelo Preps New Album With A Q-Tip And Raphael Saadiq Collaboration

September 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Raphael Saadiq, who has been a friend and collaborator of D’Angelo for nearly three decades, says the legendary singer is gearing up for the release of a new album. Speaking with the Rolling Stone Music Now podcast, he explained that D’Angelo is in a “good space” and back in the studio.

“He’s excited. He’s like, ‘You gotta play bass. I’ve got this track. I’m telling you, you got to get on it. It got your name all over it.’ He’s working on six pieces right now and he seems super excited,” Saadiq said, as caught by HipHopDX. He added that one of the songs he’s crafting stems from their time together working with Q-Tip as the supergroup, Lynwood Rose. “I think it’s going to be a record on D’Angelo’s new album when it comes out, a record that we all did together,” he added. “Lynwood Rose lives. I’m playing bass, D’s playing, me and D is singing backgrounds. It’s funky as hell, too, it’s like, D is a bad boy. … It’s aged well. Good music ages well.”

A new project from D’Angelo would be his first since 2014’s Black Messiah, and only his second since 2000’s Voodoo. He told Rolling Stone after the release of his latest effort to expect more music from him, but unfortunately for fans, that hasn’t yet come to fruition. He’s only released one song of his own in the time since, “Unshaken,” which he made for the soundtrack to the 2018 video game Red Dead Redemption 2. He has done a couple of collaborations, however, the most recent of which came from JAY-Z for “I Want You Forever.”

D’Angelo also made headlines for performing at the iconic Apollo Theater in Harlem in 2021 for Swizz Beatz and Timbaland‘s Verzuz series. Be on the lookout for further updates on D’Angelo on HotNewHipHop.

September 9, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Beyonce is apparently charging artists $2 million for a feature, according to the hacker who got access to Lil Durk’s Instagram page. The anonymous person broke into the rapper’s account over the weekend and shared a photo of him with Beyonce. Now, he says she asked for $2 million to appear on one of his songs in direct messages. “2 million cash for a Beyoncé feature I seen his dm,” they wrote.

When DJ Akademiks shared the post on Instagram, fans in the comments section couldn’t understand why she’d be charging so much. “A Beyoncé feature ain’t worth no 2 million im sorry this ain’t 2009, I respect her craft to she a goat,” one user wrote. Another wrote: “BEYONCE can do a 1,000,000 features with Durk. And the 40 plus year old women who listen to it still won’t buy an album or ticket to Durks concert. I know that truth hurts. Now go ahead and give me your best insults. You are not funny, nobody knows you…etc.”

I know what I mean to people.”
