Boldy James Raps Like A Gangster On Nicholas Craven-Produced Album “Penalty Of Leadership”

by

Boldy James is always willing to drop a new album at the drop of a hat. One of the best lyricists from the South, he is bringing it once again on his 18th overall project. The 41-year-old rapper likes to work with a partner in crime. This time, the person that is joining him on his gritty journey is Nicholas Craven.

The Canadian producer is no stranger to Boldy, though. These two ultra-talented and detail-oriented undergrounders first worked on a tape back in late September 2022. Together, they put the concise Fair Exchange No Robbery. So, it is nice to see them rekindle their work relationship on Penalty of Leadership.

ZAYSKII Gives Us A Small Glimpse Into His Lifestyle On “Um” From Zaytoven-Produced Album “I’m The One”

by

Now that Zaytoven is entering the latter stages of his career (even though he has not lost a step), he has been shifting his focus a bit. Of course, he is still working with the best of the best like Gucci Mane, Quavo, Lil Durk, and more. But, he is going back to where he found his passion for music, the Church. Very soon, Zay will be dropping a collaboration album with gospel rapper 1K Phew, who hails from Atlanta. On January 19 Pray For Atlanta will be available.

One of the other ways Zaytoven is moving on from the constant big-time collabs is by working alongside his son. His stage name is ZAYSKII and he has just come out with his debut album, I’m The One. It is a seven-song offering with production credits from his pops. We have covered the tape pretty extensively already, but we wanted to bring your attention to one other track.

Listen To “Um” By ZAYSKII And Zaytoven

As expected, ZAYSKII is still figuring out his sound. He is just 18 years old so its practice makes perfect at this point. But one thing he has nailed is the ability to create some catchy auto-tuned melodies. He does that on the closing track “Um.” This is one of the deeper and more personal cuts. It shows a small look at the type of life the young rapper is living. Some of the writing gets a little sloppy, but with his legendary father by his side, he has the tools to succeed.

What are your initial thoughts on this brand-new song, “Um,” by ZAYSKII and Zaytoven? Is this the best song from his debut album, I’m The One? After hearing this project, do you think ZAYSKII has what it takes to become a star in the next few years? Does this song have the best beat on it? If not, which one would you take over it? Where do you rank Zaytoven amongst the greatest producers of all time? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your hottest takes in the comments section below. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding ZAYSKII and Zaytoven. Finally, stay with us for the most informative song posts throughout the week.

NLE Choppa Brings Another Grizzly But Well-Written Track With “Purge On Em” Featuring DJ BOOKER

by

I think many would agree that when NLE Choppa goes ballistic on a track, he is at his absolute best. Well, that is this case tenfold on a new song he and DJ BOOKER just came by with. You can find it on their album fresh off the presses, The Chosen Ones. It is a collaborative album that features seven tracks and zero features.

A fair amount of the songs in the tracklist are handled production-wise by BOOKER. However, this is more of a Choppa track than anything else. “Purge On Em” was the second single ahead of the release. The first was “Mem,” which actually came out in 2022. “Purge On Em” was produced by Pluto Beats and Yokarza.

Listen To “Purge On Em” By NLE Choppa And DJ BOOKER

NLE hits a familiar pocket on this track, however, it is slowed down a bit. As we mentioned, the Memphis rapper is spitting murderously across this one. “All black attire, I cover my tats / And if I see a opp, I’ma slam like Shaq / Last n**** play with the gang, swear to god we left that boy limbs detached.” It is the closer and might be the most well-written song on the LP. You can hear it for yourself with the link above.

What are your initial thoughts on this brand-new song, “Purge On Em,” by NLE Choppa and DJ BOOKER? Is this the best track off of The Chosen Ones, why or why not? After hearing this album, should these two continue to collaborate more in the near future? What songs are you gravitating toward from the first couple of listens? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your hottest takes in the comments section below.

Quotable Lyrics:

N****s be duckin’ and hidin’ and sendin’ Subliminals

Draco bullets ripped him up and clipped him up
Slipped him up like he walkin’ on soap
N****s know I keep it tucked, might stick ’em up
I can’t get it caught without on me

by

Conway the Machine and Wun Two have just come through with a new tape right before the holiday season comes to a close. The Buffalo product has been constantly hard at work. In 2023, he has five total projects to show for it. This newest one is called Palermo.

Listen To “Cold Dish” By Conway the Machine, Wun Two, And Goosebytheway

“Cold Dish” features a hook from Goosebytheway, before Conway comes into rap one verse. The production might be the best element here. It has this entrancing feeling, with an alluring saxophone loop. Wun Two makes you feel as if you are a gangster or mysterious man walking down an alley late at night. After Conway is done rapping, they do the smart thing by letting the beat ride out the rest of the way. You can check out the song above.

90% of these n****s, I’m not a fan of you (I don’t f*** with y’all)
That’s how I know I got the upper hand on you
I should write a f****n’ manual on how to run up your bag without the Fedеrales jammin’ you
Yeah, play with me if you want to, I’mma show you what this hammеr do

Conway The Machine And Wun Two Match Each Other’s Vibes On “Palermo”

by

Conway the Machine’s motor is something that has to be commended. Even though some may feel he goes overboard by dropping so frequently, he manages to put out quality. The messages from each album are all fairly similar too. However, each one is meticulously put together. That is especially true on the production side.

For Conway’s fourth album and fifth project overall, he teams up with a German-born producer who goes by Wun Two. This their first time working together and it comes in the form of Palermo. Plenty of tracks were put out ahead of its release. “Brick by Brick” got the ball rolling. The, after that, Conway and Wun Two would drop “Montagna,” “Cosca,” and “Mind Tricks.”

Listen To Palermo By Conway The Machine And Wun Two

One of the things that Conway is great at is rapping over slow-mo boom-bap and jazz rap beats. He picked a great partner to craft the sounds because he does well here too. Most of them possess a hazy and lo-fi like tinge to them, which come together to provide some haunting vibes as well. It is another solid effort from Conway and Wun Two does well bringing some unique ear candy.

Curren$y, Trauma Tone, And Don Toliver Have The Perfect Track For The Nighttime With “Coming Home”

by

Curren$y knows how to curate solid tracks for when you want to kick back and blaze it up. Additionally, he provides music for the nighttime drives with the windows down in the summer. On his most recent tape, he delivers on that. Just this past weekend, the Louisiana rapper came through with Highway 600.

It is a nine-song collaborative tape that sees the veteran team up with Trauma Tone. The Virginia-born producer worked alongside Kino Beats to conjure up “Coming Home.” It has a Southern hip-hop tinge that perfectly suits the feature on it. Don Toliver continues his strong guest appearance run here too.

Shockingly, the crooner is not on the hook for this song. He spits a verse but it still does a good job deviating from Curren$y’s deep and raspy delivery. If you are looking for a track that fits the vibes we mentioned, this one is for you. You can listen to it with the YouTube link above.

What are your initial thoughts on this brand-new song, “Coming Home,” by Trauma Tone, Curren$y, and Don Toliver? Is this the best track on Highway 600, why or why not?

Rollin’ fire with my staff, parking lot full of that
It’s just so cold, you don’t even know what you’re lookin’ at

Dave East And Cruch Calhoun Team Up For “30 For 30”

by

East Harlem, New York rapper Dave East is another of those grimy lyricists that just produces consistency. Since 2010, he has been dropping tons of projects, sometimes multiple times a year. 2023 has been another one of the instances for East. Back in the middle of July, he dropped a lengthy project, Fortune Favors the Bold.

That tape brought on the likes of Ty Dolla $ign, Jadakiss, G-Eazy, Tyga, Coi Leray, Cordae, Ghostface Killah, and more. His aggressive tone across a good deal of the tracks is something that fans have been accustomed to for years and it delivered in a big way. Now, with the success of that album, he is back with presumably one more before the end of 2023. However, he is not doing it alone.
