Ovrkast. Teases His Upcoming Cardo-Produced EP With “CUT UP”

by

East Oakland, California rapper and producer Ovrkast has become one of the more exciting voices in hip-hop. He has been rapping for a little bit, but he’s mostly known for his production chops. If you are a Drake fan, or just checked out For All The Dogs and it’s deluxe, you may have seen his name credited on the project. His contributions come on “The Shoe Fits” and “Red Button”. However, he’s got stronger connections with underground names such as MAVI, redveil, MESSIAH!, and more. Also though, it’s safe to say that the Drizzy collaborations really opened things up for him because now he’s developing some serious chemistry with hitmaking superstar, Cardo. These two have been dropping some fun and sticky short joints for the last few months.

“PAYMEAGRIP” was the first to roll on in back in June. Then, the more animated “BIPPERS JOINT” would follow in early August. Now, Ovrkast and Cardo are back with presumably one more single, “CUT UP”, ahead of their upcoming EP. Speaking of which, the project is going to be out on October 4 (next Friday) and will be titled, KASTGOTWINGS. Hopefully, the clever title will deliver some more equally quirky and bouncy tracks like “CUT UP”. The formula on this song and on the others as well remains simple. There’s a solid beat, which in the case features some jazzy lead piano keys atop some thick kick drums. Ovrkast does his thing with a catchy chorus and head-nodding flow, so the ingredients are all there in the end. Check out “CUT UP” with the link below while you await KASTGOTWINGS.

Snakehips & EARTHGANG Unite To Form SNAKEGANG, Drop Their First EP Together

by

After previous collaborations and a lead single, SNAKEGANG, the formation of Snakehips and EARTHGANG, are here with their first project. Titled SNAKEGANG EP Volume 1, it features the UK electronic Wonder Twins and the eclectic rap duo from Atlanta, Georgia. Both have a tendency to stray away from the norm, so this pairing coming together for a longer-form release makes perfect sense. Sadly, as you can see from the title, this an extended play record, one that consists of five songs. Additionally, you also know that it features a lead-off track. That would be the now closer “Been A Minute…” which features London, England songwriter, Sinead Harnett.

If you were able to check that one out, you will remember that it has a strong dance/disco and electropop vibe. That is exactly what you are getting out of this 13:39 long EP. Overall, this tape isn’t necessarily reinventing the wheel or anything. But what SNAKEGANG does do is bring a nonstop dance party from beginning to end. It’s here to bring fun and hypnotizing grooves and it succeeds in that goal. EARTHGANG has been moving in this direction ever since the release of the single “BLACKLIGHT” in November of last year. That record laned on their early 2024 EP ROBOPHOBIA. Obviously, with this being a Volume 1 for SNAKEGANG, there is a good chance we may get more projects from them in the future. While we hope for that, check out what they have to offer with the links below.

Ransom Snags MadeinTYO To Produce His 3-Track EP “SMOKE & MIRRORS”

by

Prolific underground New Jersey rapper Ransom has worked with plenty of talented producers before, but MadeinTYO might be the most interesting one of them all. While the latter was never a massive mainstream figure, the Honolulu, Hawaii born was closer to that mark than Ransom has ever been. The Atlanta based MC is known for breaking into stardom with songs like “Uber Everywhere”, “Skateboard P”, and “I Want”. All of these are far cries from the grittiness of the East Coast underground scene. So, when this surprise EP, SMOKE & MIRRORS, was announced just a couple of days ago, seeing MadeinTYO was a surprise. For those who have been following Ransom, you know that this is the second project for him this year. Beforehand, him and Harry Fraud teamed up for Lavish Misery.

That EP is longer than SMOKE & MIRRORS by five songs, so there is already a smaller margin for error on that factor alone. However, Ransom and MadeinTYO make the most of the 8:53 they share. The opening “SMOKING MIRRORS” is a smooth and chill introduction, with a peaceful guitar loop being the track’s backbone. Narratively, Ransom looks back at his past decisions in his life that have shaped him. “ANTEBELLUM” with Che Noir is a soulful cut about the give and take in relationships with her and Ransom rapping from their gender perspectives. To close things out is “HUMAN NATURE”, which arguably is MadeinTYO’s best beat here. Twinkling piano melodies along with dreamy and soft tones are an incredible marriage on this introspective cut. Overall, this is a terrific short body of work with incredible replay value.

Kota The Friend & PRICE Link Up For Concise Seven-Track EP “SANCTIONED VOL. 1”

by

Kota the Friend is a rapper you go to for relax vibes and solid rhymes, and that is what he is providing on SANCTIONED VOL. 1. For the New York rapper, this is project number two for 2024, superseding his January tape, Lyrics to GO Vol. 5. That is the latest entry in that halo series for the “Colorado” lyricist and it was yet another business-as-usual kind of project. There are not many more rock steady spitters that Kota and it just feels like he never really flops on any occasion. On this seven-song EP, he is joined by a California artist by the name of PRICE (Price). He also goes by Pricetag and he is one half of the Audio Push tandem and works alongside Oktane.

Sadly, though, it appears that Oktane and PRICE are not too eager to release music together. The last time the hip-hop community heard anything from them was 2020 for a single called “Time To Listen”. You have to go back another year for when they dropped an album. That would be 2019’s Audio Mars. Conversely, PRICE is still active. He began releasing solo material right around the time Audio Push stopped. In fact, he also came through with a project in January too, putting out C.I.T.Y. and it’s deluxe. Maybe PRICE has a new permanent partner in rhyme with Kota the Friend, because SANCTIONED VOL. 1 sees them piece together poised performances.

Smoke DZA Drops By With DJ RELLYRELL-Produced EP “You’re All Welcome”

by

Smoke DZA came through later last year with a terrific EP called Flying Objects. It was one of two projects from the Harlem, New York native, with Worldwide Smoke Session, Vol. 2. That was a collaboration tape with The Smokers Club and featured 12 tracks and a host of features. The aforementioned EP would receive a slightly longer version in December called the (Extended Version). It tacked on three new songs, two of which were sequels.

If you are not familiar with any of DZA’s previous work, he is a master of creating the ideal tracks to smoke too, hence his stage name. Even though he does not get the same recognition as of his hazy contemporaries, he is arguably the best of the bunch. That is mostly because he can hit you with fire lyricism on top of providing the vibes. Over the weekend, Smoke DZA delivered another straightforward and short listen, You’re All Welcome.

Hit-Boy Keeps The Releases Coming With Jay 305-Assisted EP “DONT WAIT UNTIL I DIE”

by

Hit-Boy has been on a remarkable run over the last year and change, but certainly in 2024. The legendary Fontana, California-bred producer and writer has worked with a bucket load of artists from all levels of popularity, Of course, he has been mostly working alongside his father, Big Hit, for the majority of this time frame we are referring to. His dad has certainly been through a lot, and it has been wholesome to see the father/son rapper/producer tandem drop some quality music. Very soon, Hit-Boy will be dropping a pretty major project in the next week.

That will be Black & Whites with Big Hit and fellow producing great The Alchemist. The trio has put out two promotional cuts, “Foreclosure” and the self-titled track,” over the last week and half. But on May 30, the project will be here, and it should be something to behold. However, Hit-Boy is still pumping out material even with the impending release, like this new EP DONT WAIT UNTIL I DIE.

MGK & Trippie Redd Wallow In Their Sorrows On New EP “Genre : Sadboy”

by

Trippie Redd and mgk are two legends in the Ohio rap scene. Both artists have taken on multiple genres across their careers from pop punk to emo rap, and much more. They have been close collaborators as well, so it makes sense why these two are bringing us a full body of work. Considered an EP, genre : sadboy sees Trippie Redd and mgk give us 10 cuts of ranging across those aforementioned genres.

According to Genius, this has been in the making for a couple of years. In fact, 2021 was the first time that this idea was brought up. Trippie did an interview with Bleu Magazine, expressing how hype he was to rep Ohio on the now-released genre : sadboy. “Me and mgk are working on an album actually on some Ohio s***. I want to get Kid Cudi on it, too. That’s my boy, I love him. We came up with a name that plays off of Ohio. And it’s gon’ be a mix of rock and hip-hop music. That’s our album together… It would be Ohio’d out.”

Listen To Genre : Sadboy By MGK & Trippie Redd

Three years later the project is here. The duo gave us the lead and only single “lost boys” on March 26. Some fans were not too excited about this release, saying how mgk is too old to be making tracks like this. A good deal of the EP delves into pretty surface-level topics about drugs, addiction, relationships and the standard tropes of emo and punk. JID is the lone feature, making an uncredited cameo on “who do i call.” Unfortunately, this tape is pretty standard, but it is cool that mgk and Trippie made this happen. 

What are your thoughts on this brand-new EP, genre : sadboy, by mgk and Trippie Redd? Is this each rapper’s best project of their careers, why or why not? What songs are you gravitating toward and why? Who had the stronger performances on the record? Do you think they should drop another project together in the future?

Sid Shyne And F1LTHY Make A Splash With “INSOMNIA” EP

by

Working On Dying producer F1LTHY is back to collaborate with another new face in the hip-hop community. Sid Shyne is the featured artist here on an explosive and quick EP. This is HNHH’s first time covering any of Sid’s work, so let us give a little background on the rapper and singer. Our Generation Music just over a year ago sat down with the young artist to discuss what kind of imprint he wants to leave on the music industry. “I’m so hands-on with I everything I do. I’ll write treatments for my videos – I want my beats to sound different. I want everything to sound like it does in my mind.”

Additionally, he spoke about not wanting to sound like anyone else in the game. “My goal with [music] is to speak to people’s souls.” He continues, “I want to be on my own wave, I don’t want to sound like nobody.” Sid’s fresh approach to making his tracks appears to be resonating with his fans so far.

Lil Peep And ILOVEMAKONNEN Bring Their Talents Together To Make “DIAMONDS”

by

Lil Peep’s legacy continues to live on with the release of this new posthumous release with ILOVEMAKONNEN. DIAMONDS is not the first example of these two getting in the studio together. On Come Over When You’re Sober, Pt. 2, both rappers appear on a bonus track called “Sunlight On Your Skin.” Following that, in 2019, the pairing released a single, “I’ve Been Waiting,” which made it onto the final product, in the form of an OG version. Furthermore, “November” is on the effort too, with it being the third single. The album is quite long with 21 tracks and nearly hitting the 90-minute mark.

Before Peep’s passing on November 15, 2017, the emo-rap legend announced this project was going to be available. Obviously, though, it has not come out until September 8, 2023. But, the excitement behind this work from Peep was contagious. “When he came home in August, he played those songs for us — over and over. Gus was incredibly proud of those songs,” said Peep’s mother Liza Womack to Rolling Stone.

Listen To DIAMONDS From Lil Peep And ILOVEMAKONNEN

The chemistry is apparent on this collaboration LP. What is important to note is this is Peep’s last fully completed album, according to his estate. In a statement with Pitchfork, Liza was extremely grateful for MAKONNEN and the whole team for the effort they put into this project so it could be released in the way Peep would have wanted it to be. She says, “I am very grateful to Makonnen not only for his patience, grace, and fortitude, but also for the tenderness with which he re-assembled the original “Diamonds Team” to gently prepare the album for its release. He did an amazing job—they all did. Gus would be so proud to know that this album had come out. He would be grateful to his friends for taking the time and care to do it just right.”
