NLE Choppa Continues To Expand His Range On Carey Washington Collab “Don’t Walk Away”

December 20, 2024 by newhiphopnews

There was some speculation prior to today that NLE Choppa was going to drop a new project. Sluffin SZN was going to be the follow-up to SLUT SZN, an eight-song collection featuring some singles and his “SLUT ME OUT” series. However, due to unforeseen and unforetold circumstances, it’s going to be out on Christmas Eve instead. “NEW PROJECT DECEMBER 24th,” he wrote on Instagram earlier this week alongside a collage of photos from a music video shoot. The Memphis native also made a bold proclamation, writing, “This Generation Michael… Watch This ”

In some of the photos, he’s trying to his best interpretation of Michael Jackson’s famous lean dance stunt, all while wearing a familiar-looking leather jacket. Whether he’s calling himself that because of his new single, “Don’t Walk Away,” or for Sluffin SZN, is unclear. But what is evident is that he’s trying to become as big as the King of Pop by expanding his range and reach as an artist. This Carey Washington collab finds NLE getting into his moodier R&B side while also flashing some influences from sexy drill and Jersey club. So far, the track is garnering some mixed reactions from fans due to the drastic stylistic switch-up. However, we can appreciate Choppa’s willingness to grow, and we are intrigued to hear what he’s going to present on his fifth tape of 2024.

“Don’t Walk Away” – NLE Choppa & Carey Washington

Quotable Lyrics:

Reminiscing to the night, I wonder where the day go
Left me with a open wound like I got hit with Draco
I’m so rich, I tried to put your feelings on a payroll
Shanaynay for rainy days, rain can’t even stay
Me and you, share the floor
Take my hand for onе more dance

December 19, 2024 by newhiphopnews

GloRilla and Sexyy Red say they’re both interested in making a collaborative project together, following their joint single, “Whatchu Kno About Me.” GloRilla released that track on her debut studio album, Glorious, back in October. The two discussed the idea of working with one another on a longer release during an interview with XXL.

“Ratchet as fu*k. It gon’ be some super ratchet sh*t. The n****s gon’ hate us. No, I mean the men gon’ hate us,” Glo said, while Sexyy countered: “I think they’d love it. Because we both trench-certified, you know? Two young ladies.” Glo then added: “You know how we talk our sh*t, though. When I first came out with ‘FNF’ they was like, ;Who is this bi**h talking about, ‘Fu*k ni**as’?’ But it’s just a whole lot of ratchet.” From there, Sexyy showed love to Glo for her hit single, “FNF.” “Everybody was remixing that muthafu*ka,” she said.

Elsewhere in the interview, GloRilla and Sexyy Red discussed the criticism of their music from men who find them “too sexual.” “I think y’all [are] some haters. I think y’all don’t want y’all b**ch to shine because y’all [are] insecure,” Sexyy Red said of the idea. She also complained about no one caring when men have their “drawls sagging.” She explained: “It’s not a problem when y’all do it, but y’all [are] stealing our style. [Why is it] wrong when we do it?”

GloRilla & Sexyy Red Speak With One Another

The two also discussed working with Tyler, The Creator on his song, “Sticky,” getting praise from Beyoncé and Rihanna, and more. Check out GloRilla and Sexyy Red’s full conversation with XXL below.

Snoop Dogg & Dr. Dre Flip Iconic Police Song On The Sting-Assisted “Another Part Of Me”

November 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre are a legendary duo who are responsible for some of hip-hop’s most iconic songs. Overall, their legacies in rap music are cemented. However, that does not mean they are by any means finished with making music. In fact, on December 13th, they will be dropping a new album together called Missionary which is the spiritual successor to Snoop’s iconic debut album Doggystyle. The innuendos are pretty clear, and fans are excited for what this is about to sound like.

On Friday, the two decided to bless fans with a rare Thanksgiving weekend drop. They did so in the form of the song “Another Part Of Me” which features Sting. The feature makes a whole lot of sense when you realize the production is a flip of The Police’s iconic hit song “Message In A Bottle.” This guitar-driven production is met with some rare auto-tuned singing from Snoop. Although this might be polarizing to some longtime fans, there are some interesting ideas here.

The album promises to be a victory lap for the West Coast, which is already having a huge year thanks to the emergence of numerous talented local acts. Furthermore, you cannot forget about Kendrick Lamar whose song “Not Like Us” was one of the biggest of the entire year. Following the success of GNX, there is no doubt that Missionary is going to be the perfect way for Los Angeles to cap off its legendary year.

Snoop Dogg Shows Off His Singing Chops

Quotable Lyrics:

Out here livin’ armed and dangerous
Now tell me, what do you want from me?
Here in the land of thе lost and the scandalous
Bright lights, sunny days, cold nights
Ride the wavе, hold tight, just a day in Los Angeles

J Cole Reveals Why He Dissed Kanye West On His Own Song

November 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

J Cole and Kanye West’s relationship has always been complicated, and recently, the Dreamville founder recalled some of the tension leading up to their 2010 G.O.O.D. Fridays collaboration “Looking For Trouble.” Ye hosted a UStream before dropping My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, and according to Cole, made a comment that he perceived as dismissive. A fan had asked Ye whether or not he had any plans to work with Cole, and his response left the then-up-and-coming artist disappointed.

“Kanye’s answer was, like — I don’t think anybody watching it would notice, but me being me, I looked at him like, ‘Aw, that sh*t was hella dismissive,’” he explained during a new episode of his Inevitable audio series. “He said, ‘I mean, we might put him on one of the G.O.O.D. Fridays or something.’ It was like a, ‘Yes, but.’ He’s not a n***a that I would [feature on my album] […] If he would’ve been like, ‘Yeah, it would be fire to put him on a G.O.O.D. Friday [song]’ it would have been a different feeling.” Eventually, Cole received a call from Ye asking him to record a verse for the series. At first, he said no, but he later agreed after some convincing.

“[Kanye] was like, ‘I asked such and such and they make it happen.’ It was a polite flex of like, ‘I think you can make this happen.’ It made me be like, ‘Alright, yeah, how can I make it happen?’” he explained. “Mind you, I didn’t have nobody’s verse. The n***a just sent me the beat. I didn’t know what the f*ck the song was!”

J Cole went on, breaking down his verse and admitting that he threw some jabs at the Chicago rapper. “The world has never known that,” he said. “Those were direct shots [at Kanye] because days prior I had seen the n***a be like, ‘Ah, we might put him on a G.O.O.D. Friday song or something.’ […] And those are shots I know only [Kanye] would feel.”

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.

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.

Lady London Is Feeling “Brand New” On Her Latest Single

October 27, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Lady London has returned with a fiery new single titled, “Brand New,” featuring production from Hitmaka. Across the two-minute and twenty-three-second track, she raps about feeling brand new and compares herself to her outdated peers. “Wake up a brand new me,” she raps on the chorus, before listing off her new jewelry, new men, and more. Fans in the comments section on YouTube are loving the new single. “Lady London voice just do it for me plus her word play fyeee,” the top comment reads. Another fan writes: “It’s a BANGER!! Love it, is anyone surprised???!! She always comes thru wit the ‘brand new.’”

London got into music after acquiring her BS from Howard University and her Master’s degree from USC. Speaking with HNHH about her career, in 2022, she explained her decision to forego medical school. “I was going to school—I had a ten-year plan for medicine, foolproof. And I started rapping in March 2018. My first video went viral. [It was] 8.7 million views of me rapping in a car, and it’s been up since. So, you just can’t run from destiny, I think,” she said at the time. Check out “Brand New” below. It arrives a year after her latest project, S.O.U.L., released to critical acclaim in 2023. Be on the lookout for further updates on Lady London on HotNewHipHop.
