Normani & Gunna Cannot Resist Each Other On Sensual Lead Single “1:59”

April 26, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Normani fans have been starved, dehydrated, and all the above waiting for her debut solo album. It has been teased and in the works for years at this point, but not much was known about it. That was up until February when the former Fifth Harmony vocalist revealed the project’s artwork and title. She also began teasing music from it just weeks ago, but the reception was not great. But Normani still has people ready for what she can do on her own with its lead single “1:59” featuring Gunna.

Her supporters might also be thrilled to know that Genius has Dopamine listed for a June 14 release date. That appears to be the confirmed date as well, as Normani has “DOPAMINE THE ALBUM JUNE 14” in her Instagram bio. “1:59” sees the Georgia natives serenade each other, with Gunna even taking on an auto tuned singing and rapping flow. It does not sound too off-putting for those who had doubts about how he would fit on a slow-mo R&B cut.

Listen To “1:59” By Normani & Gunna

Normani and Gunna are so infatuated with one another, that even when they are not together, they are always wanting to reunite for an intimate time. Instrumentally, it is nothing that is reinventing the wheel, with its guitar loops and minimal production overall. But it does sound pleasing to the ears vocally and beat wise. Be sure to check out the lead single for Dopamine above.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single “1:59” by Normani and Gunna? Will this be the best song from Dopamine, why or why not? Does this get you excited for her album? Who had the better performance on the track? Should they work again in the future? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.

Quotable Lyrics:

I can tell your time ’cause you gon’ like the things I do
Sexy camera shine ’cause ‘least she met when it’s time to room
F*** it, we made love to tunes, f***in’ shrooms
Lock you to the bed, don’t let you move
Baby, help me heal the pain (Heal the pain)
This don’t feel like lust and I feel love in my veins (Veins)

Southside Teases Forthcoming LP With “President” Featuring Destroy Lonely & Ken Carson

April 26, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Metro Boomin may be viewed as the current king of trap rap, but Southside is step for step with him. The longtime hitmaker from Atlanta, Georgia is always working with the best of the best. It is for good reason too, because he has great synergy with so many legends in Southern hip-hop. Pretty soon, Southside will be dropping his first album in four years and to hype it up, he has a new single out called “President.”

This time around, the “Hold That Heat” creator is teaming up with ragers Destroy Lonely and Ken Carson. Both have been establishing themselves as the future faces of the subgenre over the last couple of years and now they are working with one of the most established stars. “President,” according to a recent press release, looks to be the third single for his unnamed sixth LP. The first of them was 2022’s “Hold That Heat,” which featured Travis Scott and Future.

Then, in late 2023, Southside and Lil Yachty dropped “Gimme Da Lite.” On “President,” the veteran incorporates some stunning synths, horn sections, and rumbling bass. It feels epic, but Lonely and Carson mumble their way through the track, dragging down the hype factor. But, its still a solid track all around and it will be one of the more popular tracks from the record.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single “President” by Southside, Destroy Lonely, and Ken Carson? Is this one of his better beats as of late, why or why not?

But all these n****s be hatin’ like Mr. Moseby
I told you that I ain’t got no racks, I was gon’ do the most

Killer Mike & Blxst Recruit Offset For Extended Version Of “MICHAEL” Cut “EXIT 9”

April 26, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Killer Mike really put on for the city of Atlanta and the rap genre at the 2024 GRAMMYs. Somewhat controversially, his sophomore solo LP MICHAEL took home three categories at the iconic award show earlier this year. It won over massive mainstream records UTOPIA, HEROES & VILLAINS, Her Loss, and King’s Disease III. One of the consistent arguments against him winning came from fans who are not hip to the rap legend saying things like, “Who is Killer Mike?” But he definitely deserved all the success and now, Killer Mike is taking another victory lap by adding Offset to “EXIT 9.”

Track 10 on the original version of the album, “EXIT 9” only featured California singer Blxst. Additionally, the song was just over two minutes and 40 seconds. But with Offset entering the mix, the record now clocks in at 3:30. As most know, adding another artist to an already great track can achieve mixed results.

Listen To “EXIT 9” By Killer Mike, Offset, & Blxst

But to the former Migos member’s credit, he seamlessly slides into what Mike and Blxst were doing on the reflective song about making it from the bottom. Offset rocks a monotone and lowkey flow as he talks about Takeoff, his late grandmother, and working hard for his respect in the game. All in all, this one of the stronger bonus cuts from MICHAEL. Be sure to check out the new version of “EXIT 9” with the link above.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single “EXIT 9” by Killer Mike, Offset, and Blxst? Which version of this track do you prefer more now and why? Is this the best song from MICHAEL, why or why not? Is this one of Offset’s stronger performances of 2024?

Oh, my brother, look at the air, I see an angel that flyin’ (Angel)
Fifteen years, brother gone, every day momma cry (Momma)
I was strugglin’, start hustlin’, start cuttin’ up pies (Hustle)
Streets start huggin’ me, not lovin’ me, but it wasn’t on my mind (No-no-no, but it wasn’t on my mind)
Doin’ crime, chasin’ a dime, so I don’t be behind (Hey!)
I had did this for my gang, I don’t see nothin’, go blind (Gang)

April 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Spice 1, one of the most prolific rappers to come out of California, is just two weeks away from dropping his new project Platinum O.G. 2. According to Genius, he will be releasing the 18-track LP on May 3. The features list looks to be absolutely loaded with legends from top to bottom as well. B-Legit, MC Eiht, Conway the Machine, Rick Ross, and Snoop Dogg are just a mere handful of them. In fact, every song will have at least one guest artist in the mix, which is pretty exciting.

One track that possesses multiple features is “Since the Day.” Spice 1 has released two other singles for the record so far, with the first one dating back to March. That was the Snoop and Ross collab called “Gangsta Shhh.” Then, on April 2, the Conway team-up hit streaming platforms as well. Now, “Since the Day” is the third, and perhaps final taste before we get the tape.

Listen To “Since The Day” By Spice 1, CL Smooth, DJ Premier, & Mike Epps

On “Since the Day” Spice recruits the Avengers for this cut. DJ Premier spins a crazy beat, and CL Smooth, as well as Mike Epps, bring some great performances to the table as well. Currently, the song is available on all streaming platforms. So, with that in mind, be sure to run the plays with the link above.

Niontay Looks To Establish Himself On “Halftones” With RealYungPhil & SURF GANG

April 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

As we have repeated constantly hear at HNHH, 2023 was a bit of a dud for hip-hop in the mainstream. It was more so the lesser-known acts and underground talents shouldering the load. That is never a bad thing though, as artists that are not quite at the level of a Drake or Kendrick Lamar do not always get enough credit. This year has been a return to form for the top-flight rappers, but the underground is continuing to churn out some fun and interesting material. One artist that is building something exciting is Milwaukee rapper Niontay. The 25-year-old currently resides in Brooklyn, New York and has been making music since 2021. Today, Niontay just dropped a new single “Halftones,” and we wanted to shed light on it.

“Halftones” features RealYungPhil and SURF GANG with a production credit presumably. The 10k signee raps with a druggy flow in a lower register that exudes confidence and an extreme sense of nonchalance. YungPhil also brings a catchy chorus to the table over a dreamy trap beat. All in all it comes together for a cohesive listen that has the potential to do well for Niontay.

Listen To “Halftones” By Niontay, RealYungPhil, & SURF GANG

On top of the fact that it should do well on its own, “Halftones” should also help carry momentum after a strong 2023 for Niontay. He was busy with features last year, with notable placements for MIKE’s Burning Desire. The beginning of 2024 has also been a productive year in that regard, as Niontay was on MIKE’s recent effort Pinball, and RiTchie’s debut solo tape Triple Digits [112]. Be sure to check out “Halftones” with the link above.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single “Halftones” by Niontay, RealYungPhil, and SURF GANG? Who had the stronger performance on the track and why?

Slimesito Grabs More Production From Evilgiane For “DESIGNER DRUGZ”

April 22, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The crop of talented hip-hop producers and beat makers continues to expand by the second. One of the new stars that is pushing himself to new heights is Yonkers, New York native evilgiane. The creative and almost avant-garde genius really came into his own last year, especially. He had several viral singles, including his work on “The Hillbillies” with Kendrick Lamar and Baby Keem. However, he is more known for his affiliation with the Surf Gang label and its artists. The album that really put evilgiane on the map was his 2024 effort #HEAVENSGATE VOL. 1 and one artist that contributed heavily to that was Slimesito. Now, evilgiane and Slimesito are teaming up just months later for a new single “DESIGNER DRUGZ.”

This track in considered to be for the Maryland rapper and whether or not this is just a loosie remains to be seen. “DESIGNER DRUGZ” features a woozy and futuristic sound that will have you wanting to float in space. Slimesito and evilgiane are definitely on the same wavelength, as the synergy is obvious right from the jump. The “Mafia Business” artist finds a pocket immediately and takes off from there.

Listen To “DESIGNER DRUGZ” By Evilgiane & Slimesito

Evilgiane has certainly taken off himself and he spoke with The Face just last month and how he feels music is extremely important for him, but also for the world. He feels artists need to be inspirational for one another and they are the catalysts for creation. “Encourage more people to make art, no matter what type of art they’re trying to make. It makes everyone else happy. A lot of people are angry and take it out on others because they can’t express themselves. Art is the easiest way to do that.” He is certainly one of the most expressive names we have going, and we cannot wait to hear more from him and Slimesito.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single “DESIGNER DRUGZ” by Slimesito and evilgiane? Is this the duo’s best collaboration so far, why or why not? What is the best element of the track and why? Do you think Slimesito or evilgiane have a project coming soon?

Headie One, Stormzy, & Tay Keith Unite For High-Profile Collab “Cry No More”

April 21, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Headie One and Stormzy, two UK veteran rappers are some of the more prominent voices in the drill scene across the pond. In fact, they have a combined 17 years plus of experience and their undeniable chemistry shows up whenever they collaborate. Pretty soon, Headie One will be dropping his new project The Last One, so to hype it up, he just put out a new single “Cry No More.”

According to Genius, the prolific veteran will have it out by June 14. So far there have been two singles released ahead of it. One of them is of course “Cry No More,” and the other is “Martin’s Sofa.” That one is a bit peculiar, since it came out back in January of 2023. In terms of collaborations between Headie and Stormzy, this is now their third ever song.

Listen To “Cry No More” By Headie One, Stormzy & Headie One

Also in the fold for this track are high-end producers Tay Keith and Pooh Beatz. Both have crafted up some of the biggest trap bangers here in the states. But they are dabbling in UK drill in this case and it goes over well. Headie One spoke with Complex why he was so happy to work with both of them and why this is one of his favorites from The Last One. “This is one of my favorites from the album. I loved the sample and 808s straight away when Tay and Pooh played it in the studio. Stormzy went crazy on it, too.”

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single “Cry No More” by Headie One, Stormzy, and Tay Keith? Is this one of Headie’s strongest tracks as of late, why or why not?

Quotable Lyrics:

Take a look at these diamonds wrong, then the mandem gon’ turn you sprinter
I do the Uno reverse, might ski all summer, do beach in winter
I just laugh when they say that I can’t go higher, I’m a frequent flyer
My last album’s cold, but my new one’s fire, I might call it Maya
I got back pain and I got neck pain ‘cah I got the weight of the game on my shoulder
Kept sayin’ that it weren’t no fluke, I was young like Luke, now I gotta be Yoda

Stove God Cooks & Stoupe Link For Intimidating “We Ballin Again”

April 20, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Stove God Cooks is always impressive when he drops a new single or a feature. However, the underground New York rapper from Syracuse is someone we have been waiting on to drop a new album. It has been over four years since we got his debut project Reasonable Drought. Even then, it was not even a solo project. It was a collaboration with fellow underground New Yorker and lyricist Roc Marciano. But there is a ton of optimism that maybe some time this year, the Babygrande Records signee will come through with something truly spectacular. The reason why we think that is because of the steady stream of quality singles.

2024 has already been one of his most productive years since starting out in 2020. Stove God Cooks was essentially ready from the beginning with “Melo Chip and a Brick.” The excellent jazz rap cut with dirty horns courtesy of Conductor Williams, and the hungry rapping from SGC all amounted to something rewarding. Then, he came through with “Carbone,” with production from Stoupe on March 1.

Listen To “We Ballin Again” By Stove God Cooks & Stoupe

For “We Ballin Again,” Stove God’s latest offering, Stoupe joins him again. For us, we prefer this over “Carbone” because the instrumental is haunting, and Cooks’ bars are intimidating. He also delivers better flows with animated adlibs, and the awkward chorus is not there from “Carbone.” Be sure to run it up with the link above.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single “We Ballin Again” by Stove God Cooks and Stoupe? Is this his best song as of late, why or why not? Which element of the track did you find to be more enjoyable and why? Do you think he is getting ready for a new album soon? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.

Snoop Dogg Surprises Everyone As Tha Dogg Pound Reunites For Bouncy “Smoke Up”

April 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Just hours ago, word came out that Tha Dogg Pound, could be up to something exciting. Numerous reports, including from us, discovered that Snoop Dogg was resharing some clips from other rap icons and current stars all asking similar questions. “Dog, I gotta question: what happened to Tha Dogg Pound? I heard they broke up, is that true? That’s what I heard.” Those were the words of Swizz Beatz, but others such as Tyrese Gibson, Flavor Flav, and NLE Choppa were sending in the same inquiries. Well, we have now come to learn that those FaceTime calls were being compiled for a single from Tha Dogg Pound called “Smoke Up.”

It all makes sense when you watch the music video below. They were all chopped together before Snoop finally comes in and shuts down the breakup rumors. “Damn, everybody sayin’ the same s*** huh. Well, check this out. F*** what you heard.” It then cuts to a G-funk banger with the trio sporting matching tracksuits.

Listen To “Smoke Up” By Snoop Dogg & Tha Dogg Pound

Snoop, Kurupt, and Daz Dillinger sound extremely hungry over the hard-hitting instrumental as they call out all the people saying the group was finished. It has the ultimate 90s feel and this one of the best posse cuts we have heard so far. After the song ends, it seems there is another snippet of some other track and an interesting outro. It involves dolls of Snoop, Michael Myers, and The Joker; yes you heard that correctly.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single “Smoke Up” by Tha Dogg Pound and Snoop Dogg? Is the start of something bigger for Snoop and the rap group, why or why not? Who had the strongest performance on the track and why? What are your thoughts on the music video? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.

Myaap & Chicken P Are “Actin Up” On Their New Single

April 16, 2024 by newhiphopnews

One of the dominant lanes of hip-hop right now is trap rap without a doubt. A subset of the long-running subgenre that has become increasingly more popular is ratchet rap. The female MCs have grown this area quite substantially over the past couple of years or so. Artists like Sexyy Red, Sukihana, Erica Banks, Stunna Girl, and City Girls, are just a handful of them. Someone you will want to add to that list is Myaap. She hails from the unsuspecting city of Milwaukee, Wisconsin and she has been gaining some steam recently. The last and only time we have covered her work happened back in January.

Myaap worked alongside MG Sleepy for a quirky trap cut called “I Ain’t Hidin.” It featured one of the catchier cadences we have heard all year, and it is one we encourage you give a try. As for “Actin Up,” Myaap is teaming up with another up and comer, Chicken P. Where we think “I Ain’t Hidin” works for us is the creativity and carefree nature.

Listen To “Actin Up” By Myaap & Chicken P

“Actin Up” feels more like a carbon copy of what Sexxy Red is doing right now. That of which is the nonchalant, booty shaking club bangers. While Myaap is certainly not the only artist to present her art in this way, deviating from her avant-garde-like style might be something to reconsider. This is not a bad song by any means, but it could get lost in the shuffle.

What are your thoughts on “Actin Up” by Myaap & Chicken P? Is this the best track she has released as of late, why or why not? Where do you rank this song amongst the rest of her entire discography? Do you think she has what it takes to thrive in the rap game? Is she the hottest rapper out of Wisconsin right now? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Myaap. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on around the music world.
