Young Nudy & Pi’erre Bourne Have One Their Most Sonically Rich Cuts Yet With “4Slime”

by

It’s Sli’merre season once again starting today, as Young Nudy and Pi’erre Bourne are here with the sequel tape. It’s been five long years; however, we are just thankful these two trap stars are back and working again. Overall, the rollout wasn’t too extensive for Sli’merre 2, with both artists first teasing the record on social media around Halloween. “11-?-2024 🐍🎱 X 🅿🏁 ITS GO BE FUN,” the Atlanta rapper said on Instagram. Pi’erre was equally as excited, replying, “Man I can’t wait 😂” Following that, the dynamic duo would go on to give fans the first look at the project with “Right Now” on November 6. Then, just five days later, they would return with the second and final single “Get Fu*ked Up.”

So far, fan reception remains solid with some calling it a great follow-up and fire all around. For us, there are definitely some tracks that are resonating. In particular, we feel that Young Nudy and Mr. Bourne kill it on “4Slime.” The main reason why we are diving into this one the most is because the multiple layers. Instrumentally, this may be Pi’erre Bourne’s best work on the project. There are a few beat switches, with each one hitting just as hard as the one before. The track kicks off with one the darkest sounds on the entire record with ethereal tones and sound effects. Those get amplified in the mix around the 1:30 mark and the segue into moodiest and waviest section of “4Slime.” Then, the aggressiveness returns in slightly different form, and then comes back to the first beat. It’s like you’re jumping through portals with different environments. It’s an adventurous listen and it’s why we cannot get enough of it.

Blu & Exile Reassert Themselves With “Love (the) Ominous World”

by

There aren’t many better than Blu & Exile when it comes to underground hip-hop tandems. Or is there really any above them? That is a question that you may want to pose to yourself after listening to their newest project. That’s right, this weekend, Blu & Exile are here with Love (the) Ominous World, their latest collaborative record as a group. This is their fourth one to be exact, and it’s their first since 2020’s Miles. Heading into this Friday, the multi-hyphenates had given fans two songs to chew on before dropping off the other 10.

The grand and celebratory closer “Love Is Blu”, and the head-nodding West Coast bop that is “Gold” led things off terrifically. Some of the songs on this album really see Blu at his most braggadocious. “Undisputed” is perhaps the most obvious one of the bunch, and it’s also one of the best here. On top of great rapping, Exile is also giving you quality in the instrumental department. From great disc scratching to bumping drum patterns and everything in between, he’s really giving you his peak self. Overall, it’s a fantastic return for Blu & Exile as a pairing and we highly encourage you give it a try.

Kid Cudi Shatters Fans Hopes For Travis Scott Collab Album

by

“You know The Scotts is on the way”. “Its def happening at some point. Dont even trip 😈✌🏾👽… we need to take the time to get it right. I wanna create a ton of songs and pick the tastiest ones and really make it a moment for the culture. We only get 1 first album, its gotta be the illest”. “It’ll happen. Not sure when, but it will”. “Man, a lot. Some fireness“! These were just a few tweets and quotes from Travis Scott and Kid Cudi about the status of the possibility of a collaboration album. The potential for this happening began back on April 24, 2020 when they put out their first song out as a duo. “THE SCOTTS”, both as a tandem and single, shot up the charts.

In fact, it debuted at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and it currently sits at over 804 million streams. However, even with all of the record’s success and the constant reaffirmations from Scott and Cudi, there were also some doubts coming from the latter that an album would come to fruition. Cudi even went as far as to say that it wasn’t going to happen. However, that would be followed up by more optimism just months later.

Kid Cudi Says THE SCOTTS With Travis Scott Is No More

Now, though, it seems that this could officially be the end of THE SCOTTS, according to AllHipHop. The Cleveland, Ohio native hosted a Q&A session while waiting for his flight to depart and this topic once again came up. “When are we getting the scotts album Cudi”, a fan asked. Cudi did not mince his words in his response, saying, “That ship came and went my friend. Lets move on. So much more to see and hear.” It’s quite the letdown, as these artists have inspired each other so much and possess undeniable chemistry. It’s going to be one of the biggest “what-ifs” in modern hip-hop history”, but with it being so long since “THE SCOTTS”, it may be the right thing to do.

What are your thoughts on Kid Cudi saying that him and Travis Scott’s potential collaboration album is not happening? Does this break your heart, or do you agree with him that too much time has passed? What is your favorite team effort from them and why? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Kid Cudi and Travis Scott. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

Curren$y & MonstaBeatz Are A “Radioactive” Combo On Their New Collaboration Album

by

Louisiana rapper Curren$y is still riding on high on Highway 600, as he drops another collab tape called Radioactive alongside MonstaBeatz. This is the prolific talent’s second LP release of 2024 and it follows up on the aforementioned project with Trauma Tone. As much as Curren$y loves to make lowkey slappers, he might enjoy working with producers on his LPs even more. MonstaBeatz, in terms of discography, is not as reputable of a name as a Trauma Tone. But when you delve into the 12 tracks here you are going to be pleasantly surprised. Even with such a minimal history together (“Park Bench” with Smoke DZA), Monsta selects beats that suit Curren$y’s hazy style.

Druggy trap instrumentals are the name of the game once again. However, MonstaBeatz also mixes in some solid synth and tone work to mix things up a bit. It sort of gives the tape a West Coast flavor. Overall, it is quite the toss-up between if Curren$y’s performances are better on Radioactive or Highway 600. Also making this a tougher decision are the features. Jay Worthy, Fiend (twice), DeeLow Diamond Man, and Fendi P are all great and offer some nice cadence switch-ups. So, once again, it comes down to whether or not you prefer them over Don Toliver and Maxo Kream. While we enjoy both from Curren$y this year, check out Radioactive for yourself and let us know your thoughts below.

Jay Worthy & DāM FunK Celebrate The West Coast With Bouncy G-Funk Cuts On “Magic Hour”

by

“MAGIC HOUR OUT NOW THIS WAS 7 YEARS IN THE MAKING HAPPY TO FINALLY SHARE THIS WITH THE WORLD THIS FOR ALL THE REAL HEADS WHO KNOW WHATS UP FUNK DONT QUIT 👌🏽”. It is clear that Jay Worthy is ecstatic to have Magic Hour out after all of his hard work. This collaboration album with longtime producer from Cali, DāM FunK, is led by three singles, all of which came out this year. Jay put out “Westside” with DRAM in late April, “105 West” with a whole host of guests (Ty Dolla $ign, Channel Tres, A-Trak, and DJ Quik), and then “Rich Today”. Each track is a direct and worthy homage to the G-Funk sound.

That seems to be what Jay Worthy wanted to accomplish with DāM FunK on Magic Hour. Even though this project was supposedly conceived all these years ago, it could not have come at a better time. With how successful the entire West Coast scene has been in 2024, releasing an album celebrating one of the region’s most iconic soundscapes was a great idea. Jay has certainly helped contribute heavily to this achievement, now dropping his second project (Affiliated 2), as well as helping Kendrick Lamar with the “Not Like Us” music video.

As for Magic Hour, DāM FunK brings so many variations of instrumentals and every one of them is incredibly smooth and chill. No matter where you are in the world, this project will make you feel like you are cruising down the roads of California with the top down during the summer. The guest performers, who range from Honda Carter, Barney Bones, Polyester the Saint and more, all bring a sense of aura to Jay’s lax rapping. Overall, Magic Hour is one of the best tapes to check out right now.

JID Reassures That His Collab Album With Metro Boomin Is Coming: “It’s Just About Making It Right”

by

JID and Metro Boomin are two of hip-hop’s most in-demand artists right now without question. Both have put together some of the best projects, especially in the mainstream, through the halfway mark of the 2020 decade. For the superstar producer, you have him and 21 Savage’s SAVAGE MODE II and HEROES & VILLAINS. Additionally, WE DON’T TRUST YOU and its quick follow-up WE STILL DON’T TRUST YOU are some of the biggest of 2024, partially due to their fueling of the Kendrick Lamar and Drake beef. For JID, it is not as expansive of a catalog. However, The Forever Story is arguably the most complete body of work over the last four years.

These reasons are why it was such a huge deal when they revealed that they were in the process of cooking up a collaboration project back in March of 2023. Metro Boomin’s tweet basically set hip-hop Twitter ablaze, “Got a lot of new music coming but when me and @JIDsv drop 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😵‍💫”. JID then confirmed that it was an album and not just a single after one user originally claimed, “Metro Boomin Teases His Song With JID”. Since that bombshell, both have been repeatedly asked if it still in the works.

JID And Metro Boomin Are Hard At Work

Each and every time, both of them have reassured fans and interviewers that they are still on course to get this done. JID did more of the same after a recent interview. “We’re working on that project every single day… We have so much music, it’s just about making it right… “It’s happening for sure”, JID clarified. He also vaguely hinted that he has been working on a ton of other things right now too, so who knows what that could mean. The only question is now, “when is the Metro tape happening?”. The Georgia rapper has previously not wanted to give anyone false on hope on that detail. We would not be surprised if it is not until later this year or maybe early 2025. Metro also recently just revealed that him and NAV are cheffing something up too, so no one should be too optimistic as of now.

What are your thoughts on JID claiming that his album with Metro Boomin is still on the way? Will this be one of the best trap tapes of all time when it drops? When do you see them dropping this and why? Do you want to see them grab any features for it? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding JID and Metro Boomin. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

Boldy James Has Another AOTY Contender With Conductor Williams-Assisted “Across The Tracks”

by

The underground scene has a lot of standout voices, but Boldy James might be the guy at this moment in time. Atlanta born and Detroit raised, the Griselda affiliate seemingly winds up on every album of the year list. His consistency is probably his greatest attribute, as he rarely misses on a LP or EP. For example, Boldy and his co-star, Nicholas Craven, already have a critically praised tape out with Penalty of Leadership. Now, you might want to add Across The Tracks, the first collaboration between Boldy James and Conductor Williams, to those rankings.

The former loves to work alongside hip-hop’s best beat makers quite often. So, it was only a matter of time before him, and Conductor linked up. The latter is also on quite of run of his own. From his work with Drake to JID, the legendary boom-bap specialist is now going to get even more shine thanks to his efforts on Across The Tracks. His instrumentals range from downright blissful to dark and grungy. Some our favorite beats include “The Ol Switcharoo”, “Flying Trapeze Act”, “Lamp Shade”, and “Terms And Conditions”. Speaking of the latter, it was one of two promotional tracks, with “Offwhite Lumberjack” being the more recent one. As for Boldy’s performances, they are top notch again, mixing great rhymes, some humor, along with relentless flows. Both artists are in their bags from track 1-10.

Pete Rock Goes Bar For Bar With Common On “All Kind Of Ideas”

by

It is safe to say that Common and Pete Rock are pouring their souls into this upcoming album, The Auditorium, Vol. 1. The July 12 release will be the first time this tandem has made a full-length effort together and so far, it has yet to disappoint. These East Coast legends have given fans two offerings from the tape, and they include “Wise Up” and “Dreamin’”. Both cuts feature incredible jazzy, boom-bap production, as well as intricate lyricism from the Be MC. However, Common and Pete Rock are apparently looking to one up themselves, as “All Kind Of Ideas” proves to be equally impressive.

Things are a little different on this single, as Pete is now laying down some bars. “Keep your top five, I’m god’s favorite producer / Sixteen bars of pressure, no metronome / Thinking outside the box, that’s a better zone“. It is clear that he wanted to deliver his best stuff as he is in fact trying to complement the lyrical mastermind that is Common. “On the mic, I’m Micah Parsons any subject I tackle / And grapple with wack dudes / And school n****s like black schools ‘cause they lack rules“, the Chicago MC spits. Pete and Common have both been thrilled to share this passion project with fans since they first teased it, and we are just as anxious them to get this out on July 12.

Thinking outside the box, that’s a better zone
So many ideas coming out the wazoo (Uh)
It’s only one of me, can never do what I do (Ayy)
Past, present and future; that is timeless (Uh)
Been a lot a things, but I never been rhymeless (Never)
Drums like scattered showers when I rain, man (Uh-huh)

James Blake & Lil Yachty Captivate & Surprise On “Bad Cameo”

by

Just over four months ago, Lil Yachty shared an interview clip on Instagram talking about James Blake. The key quotables from it were these: “I think James is working with a quite substantial amount of hip-hop artists, but this project is just… so left. For both of us”. “It’s just gonna be like ‘what the f***?! When they do this?!’”. After that fairly vague soundbite, the trailer-like post made things a little clearer. “CMYK PRESENTS ‘BAD CAMEO’ A FULL LENGTH ALBUM BY JAMES BLAKE & LIL YACHTY”. Fans were undoubtedly excited and intrigued, but no one was sure when we would receive it. Thankfully, on June 6, both artists shared the album cover, as well as the release date.

We are happy to say that Bad Cameo is here today, June 28, and it is quite tremendous. That may be a surprise to some, but perhaps why this album works is all thanks to Let’s Start Here. That LP by Yachty opened the versatility floodgates and most likely gave James Blake and the rapper belief that this would be possible. Honestly, though, it does more than just get by it passes with flying colors. Sure, there are some moments where it feels like one artist is in more control than the other. But the number of times that they mesh far outweighs the moments where they clash. In fact, that is so minimal that we would argue the album nearly flawless.

While that might be recency bias kicking in, hear us out. The instrumentals, which are handled by Lil Yachty, James Blake, BNYX, Dom Maker, and SADPONY, are all so unique from each other. Like the beats, the vocals are also extremely captivating and feel futuristic at times. Furthermore, the lyrical content is deep, self-reflective, and emotional, and they almost always complement the moods of the sonics. This is far from a traditional R&B/hip-hop album. Bad Cameo is something truly extraordinary and needs to be explored again and again.
