Steelo Brim & VIC MENSA Pair Up Again For “N**** Dreams”

February 26, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The Chicago streets are on fire! No, thankfully not a real one. But it is because VIC MENSA and Steelo Brim are back together for a new single. These two underrated lyricists are here with “N**** Dreams” a motivational and hype track about going after your goals and becoming proud of who you are. For Steelo this is his first piece of solo material since last July’s “Margiela.”

Hopefully, this is also the start of a new album rollout for him. It has been about two years since the release of Steelo’s debut Eldorado Excursions. That project featured Buddy, Arin Ray, VIC, Dej Loaf, Leon Thomas, PRICE, Chuck English, and more. As we said, these two are no strangers to each other and they both speak very highly of each other.

Listen To “N**** Dreams” By Steelo Brim & VIC MENSA

In the press release, VIC MENSA could not help but give Steelo Brim his flowers. “Beyond being a friend, Steelo has an amazing ear for production, a unique perspective and has been a covert architect of culture for over a decade now. One of the first young art collectors I knew, [Steelo] brings that taste level to his creativity and that’s something I always connect with.” This was a release that the lead artist “felt appropriate for Black History Month.” Brim says, “The title is also ‘sarcastic’ in the sense of we can wish and dream of more, and yet, we are still just ‘N****s,’ lol.”

Quotable Lyrics:

I used to have dreams of whipping a tangerine Lamborghini
Pushing up through the p where the gang members is kings
It’s complicated, skating that boi like Avril Lavigne
In the trenches surrounded by fiends
Look
I always had dreams of interrupting generational poverty

Midwxst Is Moving On From A Toxic Lover On “Mistakes” With 9lives

February 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Midwxst is a rapper that sort of flew under the radar for us, but over time, the South Carolinian really blew us way late last year. He specializes in what is referred to as hyperpop which is a combination of genres that he used to near perfection on his debut album. E3 had plenty of impressive cuts like “pretty girls,” “lost,” “heartache blues,” “hate how much,” and more. Now, midwxst is back to revive that momentum with “mistakes.”

This is his first true solo release since the “warning” single for the aforementioned debut. For “mistakes,” midwxst is teaming up with a producer he some rapport with, 9lives. The beat on this one has that familiar sound from the debut and it would definitely fit snuggly into that tracklist. It has a bit of a lo-fi start before the melodic drums in. This is a sound that midwxst can really making a living off of because he sounds great it on it once again.

Listen To “Mistakes” By Midwxst & 9lives

He is rapping about an ex-girlfriend that was really dragging him down. She even went as far as to say that he would never get better. But, midwxst finds some resolve and breaks things off. In doing so, he finds that he can get through any issue he comes face to face with. It is a nice low-key song to play when you are feeling down, building yourself back up, or when you are headed out on a night drive.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single, “mistakes,” by midwxst and 9lives? Is this one of his best breakup/love songs ever, why or why not? Is E3 still in your rotation and if so what songs? Are you excited to see what direction he goes in going forward? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.

Quotable Lyrics:

Learning from all my past mistakes
You swore that I would never change
Finally broke free out of your chains
‘Cause you’re the one that was hurting me
Now there’s nothing that I can fix
Swore I wouldn’t break my habits

Ransom, Harry Fraud, & Boldy James Collide For Luxurious “Live From The Roxy”

February 24, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Three of the more prolific talents in hip-hop are teaming up to deliver a glorious symphony of rhymes and glamorous production. Ransom, Harry Fraud, and Boldy James are here to bring you “Live from the Roxy.” All three are veterans and respected ones at that. If you are looking for hardcore and/or jazzy raps, then this trio is for you.

Ransom is following up a strong 2023 after plenty of features, several singles, and his lone LP from July, Directors Cut 4. For Harry Fraud, he was also all over the place last year. He had production credits on four LPs for RXKNephew, Jay Worthy and Kamaiyah, Valee, and Curren$y. Finally, for Boldy James, he is back after a more recent release. In January, the blue-collar Michigan MC dropped his team effort with another talented instrumentalist, Nicholas Craven, for Penalty of Leadership.

Listen To “Live From The Roxy” By Ransom, Harry Fraud, & Boldy James

Ransom’s “Live from the Roxy,” is a drumless and bassless cut that is all about slick rhymes. It has this grand opus feeling to it with the soulful vocal bits in the background that give it a classical vibe. Which makes considering the title being named after a famous longstanding nightclub called Roxy Theater in Hollywood. It has been open since the early 1970’s and it feels like that is when this Fraud instrumental was made. Check out the Ransom-led track above.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single, “Live from the Roxy,” by Ransom, Harry Fraud, and Boldy James? Who had the best performance on the track and why? Is Harry one of the greatest producers to ever do it? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.

Quotable Lyrics:

Just play my s*** to start each morning (Yes)
Here go a brief warnin’ (What?)
Why don’t you turn your back when the streets callin’? (Damn)
The fiends movin’ like they’re sleepwalkin’
I don’t sleep often, (Nah) the cousin of death is rest in a cheap coffin
Heard through the wire that we keep warrin’ (Yeah)

Ray Vaughn & Pusha T Deliver Fantastic Performances On “Problems”

February 21, 2024 by newhiphopnews

TDE is looking like they are going to be the most successful rap label in 2024. They have a massive lineup of artists that have albums coming for the remaining 10 months. Their list that made its way to social media had fans buzzing when the names were revealed. One of the many talents that was slated to drop an album was Ray Vaughn. He signed to TDE right near the beginning of the 2020 decade and is finally getting ready to drop his debut. To tease it, Ray Vaughn is teaming up with Pusha T for “Problems.”

If you follow Ray’s career, you would know that he has been releasing tracks since 2018. So, this year is a big one for him after all these years not dropping an album. Expectations are a little murky due to him waiting all this time. However, after hearing Ray Vaughn with Pusha T on “Problems,” there is a good chance this album will be a success.

Listen To “Problems” By Ray Vaughn & Pusha T

Both lyricists deliver some great rhymes over the minimal production. Ray raps, “Cocaine sticking to your gums like tables / If you don’t like this s*** then you can leaf like basil / His back got batteries, we jump ’em like cables / The Feds on scope so fiends pulling off the labels.” This also marks the first solo track from the Long Beach, California native since last January when he worked with fellow labelmate Ab-Soul on “Sandcastles.”

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single, “Problems,” by Ray Vaughn and Pusha T? Who had the better showing on this song and why? Do you think Ray Vaughn will release his new album this year? Where do you rank Pusha T amongst the greatest rappers of all time? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.

Quotable Lyrics:

New rappers trying legends for the notch
And every has-beens interviews are watched
Listen, Ray Vaughn, be clear of your peers
‘Cause in a couple years it be musical chairs
We done seen n****s panicking and show us they tears
Reminiscing over hits but the money ain’t there

Yung Lean Continues His Streak Of Odd Collaborations On “SPIRIT OF THUNDER”

February 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Yung Lean has never really been your typical rapper. The Swedish-born talent likes to mix elements of all sorts of genres together to create something truly unique. Of course, he is known best for his cloud rap roots. But, do not disqualify what he can do outside of that lane. He is someone who deserves all the respect for being a pioneer and a game changer. Today, Yung Lean is back to serve up a new single called “SPIRIT OF THUNDER.”

It does not just have him on it though. If you caught our last Yung Lean song post, “Violent Lullaby,” he worked with someone else. However, hearing him and BLP KOSHER on the same track was not something that people might have had on their bingo card. But, it went over well and fans were in agreement.

Listen To “SPIRIT OF THUNDER” By Yung Lean, RiFF RAFF, DVRST, & Bladee

We think it is safe to say hearing Lean and RiFF RAFF on the same song was on that card either. But again, like the KOSHER collab, this one sounds pretty good too. “SPIRIT OF THUNDER” sees RAFF sing instead of rap too. While it is not the best vocal work it does the job. Bladee, a frequent collaborator of Yung Lean, joins in. The beat is handled by DVRST, someone who thrives in the phonk subgenre of hip-hop that includes lo-fi sounds. It is very futuristic and soothing and we encourage you to at least give it a try.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single, “SPIRIT OF THUNDER,” by Yung Lean, RiFF RAFF, DVRST, and Bladee? Should these two rappers collaborate more often after hearing this? Does Lean deserve more credit for being a influential artist? 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 Yung Lean and RiFF RAFF. Finally, stay with us for the most informative song posts throughout the week.

Quotable Lyrics:

Cry almost every night
How could I be happy?
If you’re not by my side
So I drive into the night
Cry almost every night
How could I be happy?

Lola Brooke Teams Up Drill Collective 41 For Explosive “Becky”

February 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Lola Brooke and 41 are some of the more exciting faces we have in New York rap and drill today. While they all bring that typical shouty and aggressive flow that you are accustomed to hearing in this kind of music, they sound unique. Lola is coming off a big 2023 as the 30-year-old dropped her debut album Dennis Daughter. It had features from Coi Leray, French Montana, Bryson Tiller, Latto, Yung Miami, and Nija. Brooke has that gritty and tough personality similar to Cardi B and Pop Smoke. She has a deep and rumbling voice that commands your attention at all times. On the drill side of things, 41 arguably has the most momentum right now.

So, what better way to capitalize on all of this success than to work together on a new track. “Becky” marks their first song and it does not disappoint. The “gimmie dat beckyyy” on the Lola Brooke chorus is so infectious and fun. She does very well on the drill beat and we could see her doing more with this subgenre in the future.

Listen To “Becky” By Lola Brooke & 41

41 does their part, as TaTa, Kyle Richh, and Jenn Carter all deliver their unique personalities. This song is strictly for the parties and clubs and it should be played at every function. “Becky” just dropped so be sure to show it some love right now. You can find it with the link above, or any streaming platform.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single, “Becky,” by Lola Brooke and 41? Are these four artists the face of New York drill right now? Or, do they still have some time to go? Who had the best performance on the track and why? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.

Conway The Machine & Joey Bada$$ Go The Distance On “Vertino”

February 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It seems like Conway the Machine always has a new track, EP, or album out every Friday. To some that can be very annoying. The reason why is because his voice and messages in his songs can get stale very quick. However, the Buffalo native always finds a way to keep things interesting even with the frequent release pace. That can be said about Conway the Machine’s brand-new single “Vertino.”

He grabs Joey Bada$$ for this one and both sound great over this dark boom-bap instrumental. The beat is not anything we have not heard Conway on before. But, it just sounds good. Especially at the very end when the grimy guitar loop rolls in. Both New Yorkers rap extensive verses while Joey handles the chorus.

Listen To “Vertino” By Conway The Machine & Joey Bada$$

This is the second single that will eventually be on Conway’s upcoming project WON’T HE DO IT: Side B. Of course, this is a sequel of sorts to one of his many 2023 releases, WON’T HE DO IT. We got our first taste of it a couple of weeks ago with the song “Give & Give” with production credits from Cool & Dre. That was paired with another track “Mutty,” in a two for one situation.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single, “Vertino,” by Conway the Machine and Joey Bada$$? Does this song get you excited for Conway’s upcoming record WON’T HE DO IT: Side B, why or why not? Is this the better of the two tracks to be on the project? Would you want to see a Joey and Conway collab album? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.

Quotable Lyrics:

This the same dope I’m dishin’ out, just on a different scale
Let me break it down if you don’t see the vicious steel
You see I got them hooked on the real
I bossed up in and went to Columbia for the deal
Like f*** the “pop a pill” s***, this that pure raw they wanna feel
Scarcity in the market, now I’m spendin’ the margin

MIKE & Tony Seltzer Provide Their Take On Early 2000’s “R&B”

February 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

MIKE is someone we always love discussing here on HNHH. The New York rapper and singer just knows how to do things differently, without turning people away. At just the ripe age of 25, MIKE has delivered some fantastic projects since he got his start in 2017. 2023 was arguably his strongest year yet. The underground scene was more dominant over the mainstream in terms of quality releases. MIKE was a key part in two of the best albums from that year. Himself, The Alchemist, and Wiki, all came together for Faith Is A Rock.

Then, just about a month later he returned for his solo effort Burning Desire. That had features from Larry June, Earl Sweatshirt, and more. Since that point though, MIKE has remained dormant. That has recently just changed as he has just dropped his first piece of music in 2024. “R&B” is a collaborative single with producer Tony Seltzer.

Listen To “R&B” By MIKE & Tony Seltzer

Seltzer was worked with a host of rappers such as Ski Mask the Slump God, Rich The Kid, Jay Critch, and more. MIKE is very familiar with him, as they have been in the studio as well. According to Stereogum, they first collaborated their talents on MIKE’s debut record May God Bless Your Hustle. “R&B” has a soulful feel with the music video being a quite funny callback to early 2000s visuals. The fading to black briefly in between shots, as well as the grainy quality all add up.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single, “R&B,” by MIKE and Tony Seltzer? Should he and Tony drop a collaboration album this year, why or why not? Does this sound work for MIKE and should he do a full project with it? Is this one of his best songs in the past year, why or why not? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to tell us in the comments below. Additionally, keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding MIKE and Tony Seltzer.

Ghetts Pens A Brutally Honest Song About “Double Standards” With Sampha

February 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Ghetts is an artist we have not updated you in the past couple of years. He has had a lot of exciting things going on around him and we are excited to share it with you. 2024 is looking to be a big year for the London rapper who has been in the game for over a decade. The last project we covered of his was 2021’s Conflict Of Interest. That was also the last time Ghetts put out an LP.

Fast forward to today and we are now just two weeks away from On Purpose, With Purpose. According to Trench, Ghetts will have 18 tracks with guest appearances from Kano, Wretch 32, Pip Millett, Tiggs Da Author, Dexta Daps, Harry Aye, and more. He has already released three singles so far. Those are “Laps” with Moonchild Sanelly, “Twin Sisters” featuring Skrapz, and “Tumbi.”

Listen To “Double Standards” By Ghetts & Sampha

He is back to presumably give fans one more taster before we get the full tape on February 23. “Double Standards” brings along Sampha, one of the most talented R&B voices period. He is coming off a great solo album release of his own, Lahai. “Double Standards” sees Ghetts painfully rap about the cold hard truths about race and how the social climate is so messed up. It is not the easiest listen, but definitely one worth your time.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single, “Double Standards,” by Ghetts and Sampha? Is this his strongest single lately, why or why not? Do these two need to collaborate more often down the road? Do you think this is the start of an album rollout? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this.

Kwame said his name was Jerome
And he’s from the Caribbean just so people would leave him alone

Peewee Longway & NBA YoungBoy Meet Up To Flex Their Wealth On “Nose Ring”

February 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Two of the more prolific MCs from down South are back together for just the second time in their careers. Peewee Longway and NBA YoungBoy have not worked together since 2017 on the latter’s project AI YoungBoy. That was for the song “Wat Chu Gone Do.” Fast forward nearly seven years later and now we have “Nose Ring.”

This quickly follows up music from Peewee Longway and NBA. For Peewee, he is coming off a short EP from late January. Lolife Longway 2 featured six tracks and no guest appearances. On the flip side, YB also dropped a single called “F**k N****z” today. The difference is Peewee’s song is currently only available on YouTube and no streaming services.

Listen To “Nose Ring” By Pewee Longway & NBA YoungBoy

Peewee Longway was not as active in 2023. We covered his lone tape of that year with Who Am I? Outside of that, the 39-year-old only put out a small handful of singles. This song is not reinventing the wheel in any sort of fashion, though. It is your typical trap fare with a familiar bassy/piano beat that is popular in Southern hip-hop. But, if you want to check it out, click the YT link above.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single, “Nose Ring” by Peewee Longway and NBA YoungBoy? Do these two artists need to collaborate more in the future, why or why not?
