Asap Ferg & Denzel Curry Are Fending Off A Plethora Of “Demons” On Their Newest Collab

November 9, 2024 by newhiphopnews

While we are still waiting on one of the A$AP Mob’s marquee members to deliver their album, another one of them fulfilled their promise. This weekend, A$AP Ferg put out his first record in four years with DAROLD, and it’s clear that the New York rapper was finding himself again. The Trap Lord penned a heartfelt and inspiring message to his fans on IG while hyping up the project. He talked about how he rediscovered his passion for painting and found a nice balance for this tape’s themes and messages. “Creating my first album “Trap lord” was an outlet for me being a young black man in the hood facing daily adversities. At one point I even felt like a “lord that was trapped.” Reflection led me to becoming more “Hood pope” the enlightened one but I found balance in just being “Darold.”

It’s pretty impressive how well A$AP Ferg was able to translate that idea into this album, and it shows through tracks like “Demons.” This Denzel Curry collaboration is the perfect embodiment of balance. Overall, it hits hard both in the whip and mentally speaking. The haunting synths and expressive background kid vocals add to the theme about shapeshifting demons that Ferg and Curry are dealing with. For them they come in the form of death, drugs, social media, and familial issues. The ambiguity allows for some clever wordplay, and they take full advantage of it. It’s another homerun from Ferg and Curry and we hope their relationship translates to a collab tape one day.

“Demons” – Asap Ferg & Denzel Curry

Quotable Lyrics:

Goin’ through drama created the trauma
That shit that’ll make you a demon
Psychological warfare, digital bots (Uh)
Algorithm on the Instagram (Woo), I’m seein’ nothin’ but thots
Demons that’s scared of the block (Block), I got to carry the Glock (Glock, yeah)
My uncle was a fiend (Fiend), he was married to the rock, huh

Kanye West & Ty Dolla $ign Recruit Don Toliver, Playboi Carti, & Kodak Black For Unhinged “FIELD TRIP”

August 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

When you take a look back at the tracklist for VULTURES 1, the undoubted banger from it is “CARNIVAL”. For better or worse, it has an instantly recognizable instrumental and chorus. Additionally, the numbers the song continues to put up further proves that it stands above the rest. Pretty soon fans of Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign will come to the same conclusion about “FIELD TRIP”. Also like “CARNIVAL”, the track boasts a big-ticket cast of features. In this case it is Don Toliver and Kodak Black, a duo we never knew we needed, and Playboi Carti. He’s been heavily involved in both of these albums, as this is his third appearance.

He already helped Ye, Ty, and Rich The Kid reach number one status with “CARNIVAL” and he could replicate those results with “FIELD TRIP”. Also like its predecessor, this VULTURES 2 cut has a sticky chorus thanks to Don’s insanely high-pitched delivery and irresistible melody. Furthermore, the beat equally stands out just as much as “CARNIVAL”, perhaps even more so. It’s much more progressive, especially when Kodak’s verse pops in toward the end. As far as the lead stars performances go, they play more of a background role, as they split the second verse. However, Ty’s aggressive tone mixed with Ye’s hilarious puns about being extremely lavish are nice additions.

“FIELD TRIP”- ¥$, Kanye West, Ty Dolla $ign, Don Toliver, Playboi Carti, & Kodak Black

Quotable Lyrics:

Medical plans, I’m all in her dental
We like a dog, I’m fresh out the kennel
N****s say, “Gas”, they rollin’ up fennel
Ain’t on my level, lil’ b****, don’t reach
Always hollerin’ ’bout you rich, we riche
This ain’t no regular cheddar, this quiche

“Nothing But Net” By Travis Scott, PARTYNEXTDOOR, & Young Thug Should Be Much Bigger Than It Is: Revisiting The Soundcloud Masterpiece

July 24, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Travis Scott’s journey to mega stardom has been one heck of a wild journey. From being a Kanye West understudy to overcoming the controversial Astroworld tragedy, and to still be on one of the biggest hip-hop tours in recent memory with Circus Maximus is quite remarkable. While many are going to view the larger accomplishments as the ones that got him to this point, it is really the journey in between those major milestones. One of the more underrated things Travis Scott did earlier on was becoming something of a Soundcloud legend. His catalog on the platform features some of his most fun and grimy bangers still to this day. Travis’s “Nothing But Net”, featuring Young Thug and PARTYNEXTDOOR, is one that we constantly revisit.

The star power isn’t just on the mic, though. TM88, Boi-1da, and Southside cooked up a darkly wonderous instrumental that is evokes quintessential 2014-2015 Travi$. From hilariously nasty bars and an outrageous delivery from Thugger, to the toxicity oozing from PND, as well as the atmospheric performance from Travis, the track has it all. Sadly, though, the song never got as much love as it deserves. Instead of making the final cut for Rodeo, it was instead released as a loosie on Scott’s Soundcloud and on a Hustle Gang mixtape called, We Run This, Vol. 13 (2016).

Yes, it still has over 21.6 million plays on the streaming service, which is very respectable. However, with Rodeo evolving into one of the best trap albums of all time nearly 10 years later, this could have been one its biggest success stories. Travis is certainly doing more than fine right now, so it doesn’t mean much in the grand scheme of things. What this does prove is that he has so much heat in the vault that ultimately, he has to split hairs. But we still are going to show love to it, and you should too.

“Nothing But Net”- Travis Scott, PARTYNEXTDOOR, & Young Thug

Quotable Lyrics:

My words don’t know if I crashed into a pool or her jaw
Pops never home, left a long term
On the back when a lil’ n**** had to sit and deal with it
Loner turned rock star, n****, under the moon
Got the world in my palm, ’bout to rub her p***y with it
When you dominate it, come with digits

Bladee & Yung Lean Further Their Chemistry On “TERRIBLE EXCELLENCE”

April 24, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Bladee and Yung Lean go together like peanut butter and jelly. The natives of Sweden are almost always able to display synergy whenever they are on a track together. They might not have as many collaborations as Metro Boomin and Future, for example, but their creative minds do not clash and create chaos. Which is why this new track from Bladee, “TERRIBLE EXCELLENCE,” sounds great.

This is one of the duo’s latest collaborations and it lands on Bladee’s newest project, Cold Visions. It is the 19th offering and second of 2024. The last album we got from him was just last month with Lean called Psykos. Cold Visions features a massive 30-song tracklist and this is just one of the team ups with Bladee and Yung Lean.

Listen To “TERRIBLE EXCELLENCE” By Bladee & Yung Lean

It is the fourth out of the five outings, and we think it is the strongest out of the pack. The beat, provided by Whitearmor and F1LTHY is incredibly aggressive and bassy. It fits the rest of the tracklist really well due to its commitment of being dark in tone. Bladee and Lean are rapping about how they are essentially addicted to loneliness and being a lone wolf. “I wanna kill everything just like Chucky, the boys lucky
The shards on me shine lucky, I’m out hunting / The knife, need to find something, I’m blood hungry,” Bladee raps.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new song “TERRIBLE EXCELLENCE” by Bladee and Yung Lean? Is this their best collaboration of all time, why or why not? Was this Lean’s strongest guest performance on Cold Visions? Where does this song rank amongst the rest if the project’s tracklist? 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 Bladee and Yung Lean. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on around the music world.

Quotable Lyrics:

Pretty violence in the silence, it’s a dark story
Living legends in the flesh, it’s all pain and glory
I don’t even put the pressure, yeah, they do it for me
Enjoy the moments from the nightmares [?]
With the boring blood tourin’, through the pressure we are foreign
Not an angel without horns, there’s no roses without thorns

Buddy Taps Smino & Cedxric For R&B-Flavored Cut “Should’ve Known”

April 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

As we mentioned recently, we feel that Buddy, California rapper and singer, deserves more recognition and respect in the genre. The steady veteran recently put out his fourth album, Don’t Forget To Breathe, and it might be his best work to date. He is bringing some great rapping with his smooth and confident delivery. It is tied for his longest record, but it is still only 12 songs. Which means there is hardly any room for filler.

Buddy was certainly not playing around on this album, as “Should’ve Known” with Smino and Cedxric is one his best offerings. It is a smooth R&B-like track about dodging vices and moving through roadblocks. This makes it fit right into an LP all about self-improvement. Both rappers deliver great verses, and Buddy beautifully handles the song’s catchy chorus.

Listen To “Should’ve Known” By Buddy, Smino, & Cedxric

“Should’ve known, should’ve known / I been stayin’ out the way / And prayin’ for another day / Wе live on.” Don’t Forget To Breathe was led by two singles up until its release on March 29. “Like This,” which dropped in 2024, and 2023’s groovy “You 2 Thank,” were both great representations of this album. Be sure to check out “Should’ve Known,” as well as the rest of Buddy’s album.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new song, “Should’ve Known,” by Buddy, Smino, and Cedxric? Is this the best track on Don’t Forget To Breathe, why or why not? What is your favorite element of the track and why? Who had the strongest performance on the record? Is this Buddy’s best album in his discography, why or why not? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.

Quotable Lyrics:

Pretty brown lil’ boo, the motherland of baba ghanoush
Told me “Smino, papi, you belong on top, your missionary visionary”
Vision-air, I’ll forever be in her gums, good veneers, cemented here
So don’t come to me talkin’ about what she said if she isn’t here
And I know what I said last night, but I changed
Should’ve known, should’ve known

Roc Marciano & Larry June Provide Chilling Performances On “Bad JuJu”

April 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Roc Marciano and Larry June are two of the underground hip-hop kings and have been for quite some time. So, what happens when you combine their respective talents, along with one of the greatest producers of all time, The Alchemist? Well, you get a bone-chilling and well-written track with eerie, top-notch production. Those qualities are how we would describe “Bad JuJu” by Roc Marciano and Larry June. Considering how their styles effortlessly mix together on this record, you would think these two would have tons of previous work as a duo. However, the opposite is quite true here.

“Bad JuJu” is only Roc and June’s third ever offering. Hearing them again on one track for the first time since 2022’s “Maybe The Next Time” makes us wonder why we do not have more team-ups. By the way, the latter can be found on Jay Worthy, Larry, and LNDN DRGS record, 2 P’z In A Pod. “Bad JuJu” lands on Roc’s recently released Marciology.

Listen To “Bad JuJu” By Roc Marciano & Larry June

As we mentioned, The Alchemist produced this track. But this is not the only song he had a hand in. In fact, Uncle Al, Animoss, and Marciano all contributed beats to this concise, 14-song LP. Leading up to the drop date, the Long Island, New York native teased the project with “Gold Crossbow.” Be sure to check “Bad JuJu” with the audio link above.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new song, “Bad JuJu,” by Roc Marciano and Larry June? Is this the best track on Marciology, why or why not? Who had the stronger performance on the record and why? What is your favorite element of the track and why? Does Larry have the best feature on the album, why or why not?

MGK & Trippie Redd Sneak In A Subtle JID Feature On “Who Do I Call”

April 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

For the latter parts of mgk and Trippie Redd’s careers, both artists have a had a tough go of it from critics and even fans. Their recent projects have not been people’s favorites and the same could be said for their first-ever collaborative outing. The two Ohio natives had a lot of skeptics on their radar when they announced their 10-track EP genre : sadboy. Its title and cover art alone had fans scoffing at it. However, tracks like mgk and Trippie’s “who do i call,” have been proving the doubters wrong.

Trippie and mgk are not alone on “who do i call” either. JID, delivers a bit of an unsuspecting verse at the beginning and provides adlibs later on. All three rappers are singing and spitting about a previous relationship that has lost its spark. With those women gone all three are left asking themselves “who do i call,” to help give their lives meaning again. While the story is a bit by the numbers, JID does a good job fitting into the track.

Listen To “Who Do I Call” By MGK, Trippie Redd, & JID

Fans seem to agree online as the comments underneath the video have nothing bad to say. “J.I.D always bringing the vibe in every song he in!!!” one person says. “This album was all that I wanted this friday. Thanks. Masterpiece,” another adds. Be sure to see what everyone is talking about with the link above.

Beyonce, Shaboozey, & Pharrell Williams Team Up For A Wild, Multi-Layered Cut “SWEET HONEY BUCKIIN’”

March 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Beyonce has been dominating the streams this weekend and will continue to do so for at least the next week with COWBOY CARTER. The sequel to 2022’s RENAISSANCE, the Beyhive and many others were excited for the project’s sound when this was first revealed to us during the Super Bowl. This second installment in this act trilogy, the Houston native is paying homage to her country roots. However, the icon said it best about what this LP is, “This ain’t a country album. This is a Beyonce album.” One of the perfect examples of that quote is “SWEET HONEY BUCKIIN’,” which sees Beyonce work with Shaboozey and Pharrell Williams.

This is one of many songs that definitely is not pure country, but has elements of the genre sprinkled in. Firstly, Shaboozey deserves a huge shout-out. He has been rising quickly over the last several months with his spin on the genre, adding elements of hip-hop. Now, because of that mixed audience, he earned the chance to work with not only Beyonce, but with Pharrell Williams too.

Listen To “SWEET HONEY BUCKIIN’” By Beyonce, Shaboozey, & Pharrell Williams

This multi-layered track might sound all over the place on the surface. However, each phase fits together fairly well. “SWEET” is dominated by Shaboozey with Beyonce coming in after over a jersey club/country beat. Then, “HONEY” is the shortest part and sees it go in a more R&B direction with a slower pace to the production and a more sensual singing performance. Finally, “BUCKIIN’” is the rowdiest part with hard-hitting thumping bass, the classic air horn sound effects, with a hint of guitar. Again, there is a lot to take in, but this trio delivers one of strongest bangers on the album for sure.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new song, “SWEET HONEY BUCKIIN’,” by Beyonce, Shaboozey, and Pharrell Williams? Is this the best track on COWBOY CARTER, why or why not?

Flee Lord & Conway The Machine Lyrically Spar On Crisis-Produced “Drum Mobb”

March 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Flee Lord and Crisis did a great job promoting their now-released collaborative project Full Court Press. They did so about a week ago with the basketball-inspired “Play Amongst The Stars.” It featured one of the greatest lyricists of all-time, Inspectah Deck, as well. This is something that the rapper and producer duo is known for. Their love of basketball was prevalent on their previous team effort 2-3 Zone. So, you can view this latest album as a sequel of sorts. Today, we wanted to highlight Flee Lord and Crisis’ track “Drum Mobb.”

This is another one of the plentiful collaborative tracks on the record. Speaking of features, listeners will find artists like Trizz, Tiona Deniece, Mummz, and Conway the Machine. Additionally, Full Court Press has 13 tracks at just a runtime of 38 minutes and change. Furthermore, Flee Lord and Conway are no strangers by any means with each other.

Listen To “Drum Mobb” By Flee Lord, Crisis, & Conway The Machine

This is now one of over 10 meet ups, so you know the chemistry is already going to be there. Sure enough it is and both provide some hard-hitting and catchy flows. Additionally, each rapper hits a nice pocket in the Crisis beat that goes hard with the drum pattern. Conway especially brings a fun performance with his drawn out “o” sounds. Be sure to check out Flee Lord and Crisis’ new album and this track.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new song, “Drum Mobb,” by Flee Lord, Crisis, and Conway the Machine? Is this the best song off of Full Court Press, why or why not?

NBA YoungBoy & Herm Bring A Catchy Melody To “My Bobo”

March 8, 2024 by newhiphopnews

NBA YoungBoy sort of pulled a 180 on us a little bit with the release of his new album Compliments of Grave Digger Mountain. Usually when he drops a project it is super long. On average, you can expect at least 18-20 tracks. Sometimes, that number can hit 30 plus. However, YB decided to trim the runtime down with just 13 tracks. The last time he hit that number was in 2022 with the release of 3800 Degrees. Also surprising is that none of the songs that were dropped on YouTube made it to this project.

Apparently, NBA YoungBoy has another album coming (no surprise there). So, maybe those songs will a home in the near future. Currently, Compliments of Grave Digger Mountain is available on Spotify and Soundcloud, but not Apple Music or YouTube. Our condolences go out to those users. But, we are here to talk about “My Bobo,” a collaboration with Herm.

Listen To “My Bobo” By NBA YoungBoy & Herm

We feel it is one of the stronger cuts, thanks in part to Herm and YB’s chemistry. Also, this song has a solid melody, especially coming from the keys and the lead’s vocals. A “Bobo” is a person that loves materialism and affluence and it after hearing that definition, it makes the lyrics a little more confusing actually. It seems the track is more so about violence than wealth. Either way, it is one of the stronger bangers on the record.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new song, “My Bobo,” by NBA YoungBoy and Herm? Is this one of his strongest tracks of from Compliments of Grave Digger Mountain, why or why not? What is your favorite element of the song and why? Who had the stronger performance and why? What other tracks are you gravitating toward? 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 NBA YoungBoy. Finally, stay with us for the most informative song posts throughout the week.
