Boldy James & The Alchemist Stay Hot In 2024 With Reunion On “10 Pints”

July 31, 2024 by newhiphopnews

We can view mainstream hip-hop artists this year as having a major return to form. Metro Boomin and Future put out two huge albums in a one-month span. Eminem dropped his first album in four years with The Death of Slim Shady. Of course, you cannot talk about rap in 2024 without mentioning the big-time beef between Drake and Kendrick Lamar. But a side of the genre that seems to always remain consistent is the underground scene. Last year, they carried the superstars for the most part and over these seven months, artists in this space have been successful once again. One of them who is contributing heavily is Boldy James because he’s dropping stuff like “10 Pints” with great regularity.

Both of his projects, Penalty of Leadership and Across The Tracks, are going to be on a lot of publications lists for best albums at the end of the year. Each one featured incredible production as well thanks to the likes of Nicholas Craven and Conductor Williams. While we love these pairings for the Detroit MC, there is another beat master out there who’s an even better match arguably. That would be The Alchemist and he’s on “10 Pints”. This marks their first work together since their 2021 album Super Tecmo Bo.

There’s something about Boldy over a guitar-laced instrumental that just makes sense. The Alchemist conjures that up for him here, and the laid-back MC makes easy work of it. “This s*** hit harder than tar and ten pints of Tris Pharma / So many choppers, got the strip hotter than the Sahara / Clip full of R-I-Ps for n****s wearin’ body armor“. You can stream “10 Pints” on YouTube.

“10 Pints”- Boldy James & The Alchemist

Quotable Lyrics:

Blow strong as a hairdryer, hold one in the spare tire
First one in the drug zone to cook up on the air fryer
Countin’ all these rackies to the neck, can’t get a dollar out me
Auntie calling back like, “Damn, nephew, must forgot about me”
Come outside, spent a sixty with mе, oh up one-oh-five
Limit five-hundrеd, checks come out, she always clear her debt

MGK & Jelly Roll Divulge In Their Tragic Pasts On “Lonely Road”

July 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Jelly Roll and mgk are working together for the first time in their careers on a country rock cut, “Lonely Road”. Both are obviously superstars in their respective genres, so this crossover is something that makes sense from a streaming standpoint. However, more importantly, this combination of talent is a great pairing musically speaking as well. Both are quite often bobbing and weaving in and out of different genres, mgk especially. However, Jelly Roll does too, as he has some rapport with quite a bit of hip-hop artists. According to the Cleveland native, this record is something that has taken a long time to finally release.

About two years, multiple studios, and a handful of countries only were needed for mgk and Jelly Roll to deliver “Lonely Road”. Overall, the single is produced and performed with a lot of emotion. If some of the lyrics sound familiar, it’s because it interpolates the iconic country song by John Denver, “Country Roads, Take Me Home”. Throughout, mgk and Jelly Roll talk about their struggles with addiction and relationships, something that are consistent themes in both artist’s discographies. This record has been doing massive numbers (expectedly), especially on YouTube. It’s currently the number one trending video for music thanks to it suggestion that Megan Fox and mgk could be announcing the expectance of their first child? His partner in crime is wearing a baby bump in the visuals. It fast forwards eight months later to when the kid is born, so maybe we have a big update for real coming soon.

“Lonely Road”- MGK & Jelly Roll

Quotable Lyrics:

I hear the devil wears Prada, but I couldn’t read the tags
And your horn started showin’ when I see you mad
But I’ll wait for you ’cause this is not the face I knew
And I probably could’ve saved us, but instead, I let us crash
‘Cause I don’t trust no one to love me back, but you say, “I do”
And this is not the place for you

Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, & Big Sean Preach The Gospel Of Hustle On DJ Premier’s “Ya Don’t Stop”

July 26, 2024 by newhiphopnews

If you want to be able to succeed and live a fulfilling life, you are going to need a hardworking mindset. That is something that Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, Big Sean and DJ Premier certainly have, as all four music titans land on one track called “Ya Don’t Stop”. This is the latter’s newest release, and it follows-up “Gonna Be Me (the friendship song)” with O.A.R. and Brady Watt most recently. However, it also comes after collaborations with Chance the Rapper, Nas, Snoop Dogg and Daz Dillinger, as well as Russ. With so many big-time voices and just three minutes of run time, how does it all come together?

In our opinion, DJ Premier has another successful offering here with “Ya Don’t Stop”. Leading up to it’s release, some fans were pointing out that Ross and Wayne were going to be on this record. This would not even be a subplot a few years ago. However, with Drake being is Rozay’s crosshairs and Weezy mostly being okay with The Boy (maybe?), things are different. Thankfully, the chemistry is solid all around. Big Sean ties everything up nicely with his catchy hook that centers the song’s focus on grinding to live lavishly. Wayne probably has the best performance of everyone, as he continues to shred his feature appearances lately.

“Ya Don’t Stop”- DJ Premier, Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, & Big Sean

Quotable Lyrics:

I don’t stop, I can’t stop, I won’t stop, I can’t breathe
Especially when your knee is on top, deep breath (Uh)
Microphone drop, I keep going like the freeway
Shoutout Freeway, it’s the Roc
I got guns like Fortnite, a sharp tongue for sword fights
I look like a born again Christian Dior, right?

Smino & Cousin Stizz Answer The Call On “Nokia” Single

July 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Smino may not be the biggest star in the rap game, but man is he not one of the most consistent going right now? The St. Louis, Missouri do-it-all artist never seems to truly disappoint whether it be in terms of singles or projects. We can certainly say that as of now as well, because everything he has put out in 2024 has been nothing short of sensational. In Febraury, Smino would come back strong with “mister misfit but ain’t missed a fit in months”. This track was released to essentially remind people that he’s got it like that. Then, just a few months later, he would give us “Polynesian”. A fun summer banger with loads of character and blissful production. Now, Smino is back just before the end of July with “Nokia”.

This single sees the “Wild Irish Roses” MC tack on a Cousin Stizz feature, making it his first collaboration of the year. On “Nokia”, these two give you some bars about linking up with a female. While we would say this isn’t Smino’s best work out of the three, it is certainly another respectable outing. One of most fun moments on the record is the inclusion of the original Nokia ringtone from back in the day at the beginning. Additionally, the chorus is clever and delivered in such a goofy and creative fashion. “I sent you this s*** from a Noki-a / This b**** eat me up like some gnocchi, uh / Yeah, I whip the Tesla, it ain’t got no key, bruh / I was f***in’ shawty on the lowski, hush“. At this point we just want the new Smino album.

“Nokia”- Smino & Cousin Stizz

Quotable Lyrics:

I rеally can ball, I can hoop (Splash)
And me and your bitch in cahoots (Me)
Only thing I know is win, no tie, don’t bе wearing no suits (Me)
I’m in here sipping my sins, been smoking my sorrows aloof (Me)
Hop in the stu and go stup’, I put the “ooh” in the Lou

Cordae & Lil Wayne Keep It A Buck On Stellar “Saturday Mornings”

July 24, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Cordae continues to be one of hip-hop’s more underrated characters. It might have something to do with how his first couple of years in the industry went. He was originally a member of the YBN group, but since departing, it seems like that era doesn’t even exist anymore. Now, he is one of the more respectable word smiths in game, which is what Cordae further proves on “Saturday Mornings”. This is his first single since the August 2023 track, “Make Up Your Mind”. Before that was the catchy pop rap cut with Anderson .Paak, “Two Tens”. All three of the tracks have a great chance of landing on Cordae’s third studio LP, The Crossroads.

According to Genius, the North Carolina MC announced that this project is coming along nicely in a recent interview with Apple Music. However, a concrete release date is still up in the air at this point. “Saturday Mornings” features the likes of Lil Wayne, someone who he has worked with once before on a 2022 record called “Sinister”. Comparing these two side-by-side, we feel that “Saturday Mornings” might be the stronger one of the two. From the extremely soulful production to the rappers’ effortless change in tone, this song has it all. The pen game is also on point, as Cordae and Weezy have some great messages about wanting to be around authentic people in life, but also in the rap industry.

“Saturday Mornings”- Cordae & Lil Wayne

Quotable Lyrics:

My penmanship what ya pay me
It’s time to get the bacon, this shit is biscuits and gravy
Time to break fast, to keep it real, how long the fake last
New year, same goals, stay out the way and make cash
The competition, damn, we wave past
I need more real love and less fake laughs, huh

Young Nudy Comes Back Swinging For The Fences On Metro Boomin-Produced “John Wayne”

July 24, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It has been a little bit since fans have heard some new Young Nudy. In fact, the last time we got a solo release from the Atlanta, Georgia product was back in September 2023. His viral single “Peaches & Eggplants”, which would go on to land on Gumbo, got a remix with Latto and Sexyy Red. This slower production schedule comes as a bit of a surprise, especially given his track record earlier on in his career. But it seems that the “EA” lyricist is taking his time and it has been paying dividends. Prime examples of this include Young Nudy’s Childish Gambino collab on “Little Foot Big Foot” and now “John Wayne”.

The latter ends that previous dry spell, but it also includes production from Metro Boomin. This marks their first effort together since the duo and 21 Savage united for “Umbrella” off of HEROES & VILLAINS. Hearing them back on a track together is a real street based on their chemistry and “John Wayne” is certainly a fine addition to their collection. Back in January, Nudy previewed their song on IG Live and fans were extremely hyped. The devilish instrumental and the MC’s flows pretty much remain the same from the snippet, so listeners will be thrilled about that.

Metro reposted the teaser to his IG and was talking about how fans weren’t ready for their upcoming collab tape. While “John Wayne” does seem like it will be on a Nudy project in the future, we can only hope that their joint LP is on the horizon. Metro is a busy man right now though, as people are still waiting on a release date for the JID album as well. But “John Wayne” is more than good enough to hold us and fans over for the time being.

“John Wayne”- Young Nudy & Metro Boomin

Quotable Lyrics:

First of all, don’t get it twisted, know that I’m giving these bullets out
I ain’t even worried ’bout what you ’bout
I’m in the middle of the field, ain’t worried ’bout no n****, these n****s know what I’m ’bout
Know that I’m aiming to kill, shooting to kill, like what the f*** these n****s be talkin’ about?
Way back then you give me a ten, I’m pullin’, I’m shooting everything, what you talkin’ about?
I remember these n****s was slimin’ their twins, their friends, these n****s wasn’t really ’bout it

Juelz Santana & A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie Are Done Being “Friendly” On Latest Single

July 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Juelz Santana is working with one of New York’s youngest stars, A Boogie Wit da Hoodie, for a new single, “Friendly”. This, and perhaps a couple of others, are going to be landing on the “There It Go” rapper’s upcoming album, Better Late Than Never. In 2024, the veteran MC has put out “Score”, and “Party N Bulls***” which features Jadakiss. However, it seems that the final tracklist is still up in the air. The same goes for the release date, but there is a chance the project arrives later this summer.

Even though Juelz Santana is not really putting up as big of numbers as he used to, “Friendly” is popping off a bit. The same goes for the aforementioned Jadakiss collab, with both hitting well over 100,000 streams on Spotify. With how they are trending right now, both have cracked the top five ‘Popular’ category. On “Friendly”, Juelz and A Boogie are finally fed up with being the nice guys in the rap game. Instead, they are adopting this lone wolf mentality, which the “Drowning” hitmaker hints at on the chorus. Speaking of which, this generation’s NY hip-hop star pays homage to the greats that paved the way for him, specifically 50 Cent. He does a loose interpolation of the iconic “Many Men” hook to pretty decent effect. However, we will let you decide how you feel about “Friendly”, so listen to it with the link below.

“Friendly”- Juelz Santana & A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie

Quotable Lyrics:

Many men, huh, many men saw many n****s wanna catch me like him
Please-please, I don’t want this FN to squeeze
But if he sneeze, somebody gon’ bless him
Oh, many men wish death ‘pon me
She hit my other partner, I got rips on jeans
I spent six hundred thousand on a watch and two chains

Mustard Recruits Ella Mai & Roddy Ricch For Toxic Relationship Record “One Bad Decision”

July 22, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Mustard is really feeding the fans ahead of his new album, Faith Of A Mustard Seed. Just a couple of hours ago, the hitmaking producer put out the tracklist and it is going to feature 14 tracks and a stacked roster of features. Names range from Lil Yachty to Vince Staples, Quavo, Ty Dolla $ign, and more. Before this was revealed to us, we already knew Travis Scott would be a part of this, as “Parking Lot” was the lead single. Following that, the “Not Like Us” beat dropped “Pray For Me”, the expected closer which sees him rap, introspectively no less, for the first time in his career. Now, Mustard is gifting fans one more teaser with “One Bad Decision”.

You could make the argument –quite easily we think– that this is the best song from the album so far. Making appearances on this track are London R&B balladeer Ella Mai, and fellow Cali rapper, Roddy Ricch. Both deliver impassioned performances, and occasionally duet, over a crowd-pleasing instrumental. It has that signature West Coast bounce, but it’s slowed down and more seductive to fit the R&B aesthetic. Then, there’s a killer guitar-like loop, or at least what appears to sound like one, and it just makes sense.

From listening to the lyrics, it sounds like Roddy and Ella are intertwined in a toxic relationship, that finds them coming back for more, even though they claim to be done after “One Bad Decision”. However, in the early stages of annotating the lyrics, Genius believes both artists are sneak dissing Drake. Roddy’s (below), apparently reference the fake toughness of the OVO crew that Kendrick Lamar called out in “6:16 in LA”. In could also be a shot at the recent photos of Drake at Michael Rubin’s party where he looked aged. But you listen and decide for yourself if Ella and Roddy are getting in on the beef with the link below.

“One Bad Decision”- Mustard, Ella Mai & Roddy Ricch

Quotable Lyrics:

Seen the look in your eyes and I know that you tired
You was finding out what b****es I would f*** on the side
Knowing that you ain’t playing games so I’m running short on time
You can give a f*** about that Porsche in the driveway
But I hate to see you walk away from me
You can’t match my energy

Omah Lay & Tyla Are Only “One Call” Away On SPINALL-Produced Single

July 21, 2024 by newhiphopnews

SPINALL, aka DJ Spinall, is here with “One Call” featuring Tyla and Omah Lay, a single that figures to dominate late-night summer bashes. This is an all-African collaboration, between the Nigerian producer and fellow singer, as well as the “pretty girl from Joburg” (Johannesburg, South Africa). All three respective artists have done a lot for their culture, putting out some of the biggest Afrobeats/Afro-fusion records as of late. While Omah Lay did make some not-so-great headlines for contributing to a break-up at one of his concerts, his feature game has been top-tier. Just ask the likes of Kehlani, Luciano, and Libianca how much he has helped with their streaming numbers. As for Tyla, her self-titled debut has been doing extremely well since its release this past March.

Songs like “Jump”, “Water”, “Truth or Dare”, and “ART”, continue to rake in millions of streams. Finally, SPINALL has been riding off the success of his 2023 record TOP BOY. Hopefully, with singles like “One Call”, “Psalm 23”, and “Loju”, we get a new record before the end of the summer. As we said, this latest song is perfect for this time of year. The danceable rhythm is quite undeniable from the start and its lowkey vibe make it that perfect song to snuggle up to with your boo. You can stream “One Call” with the lyric video provided below.

“One Call”- SPINALL, Omah Lay, & Tyla

Quotable Lyrics:

I will always fight for truth
If I have the chance to choose (Here we go)
Like every other superhero
My weakness is love
I don’t do it for the medals
‘Cause no me without us

G Herbo & Skilla Baby Get Active On “Shoot”

July 20, 2024 by newhiphopnews

G Herbo is back once again with a new 2024 release called “Shoot”, featuring the likes of Detroit star, Skilla Baby. Over the last several months, the Chicago, Illinois native has been putting on for his hometown, dropping singles and features left and right. This year, we have seen the “PTSD” artist team up with Hotblock Jmoe, Chief Keef, 21 Lil Harold, Aarne, Kerch Dolla, and more. On the solo front, Herbo has put out “Subject”, a freestyle over BossMan Dlow’s “Get In With Me”, and now “Shoot”. With this prolific release pattern, the hope is that G Herbo delivers a new album/mixtape for 2024.

But while we wait for that, what does this Skilla Baby collaboration have to offer up? Well, to be frank, it’s sadly formulaic. The chorus from the rising talent is pretty forgettable and extremely repetitive. With a title like “Shoot” and previous knowledge of these two’s discographies, you might have a good guess as to what the song is about. While there is nothing wrong with rapping about street violence and stakeouts, the execution feels too one-note. It is cool to see Skilla Baby and Herbo work alongside each other, but the final product is just too lackluster for their standards. Still, give the song a try with the music video link below.

“Shoot”- G Herbo & Skilla Baby

Quotable Lyrics:

N****s be sendin’ death threats, but they know I’m a killer too
These n****s ain’t tryna beef, they tryna sue
In my city, I’m known to kill the who’s who or who’s who
I up my blick with a smirk, they gon’ run when we shoot
Pull up, fah-fah-fah, whip bangin’ “Who Want Smoke?”
How you ‘posed to beef with me and you a ho? Huh?
