21 Lil Harold & BigXthaPlug Are Becoming Stars On “Gin & Juice”

March 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

21 Lil Harold & BigXthaPlug have been two of the most entertaining up-and-comers as of late. Both borrow from their respective corners of Southern hip-hop. Lil Harold grew up in Atlanta and is a longtime friend of 21 Savage. Which makes sense, considering their stage names are the same and he utilizes the “P***y” adlib quite often with a slightly different delivery. As for BigX, he hails from Dallas, Texas. The 25-year-old possesses one of the best mic presences in modern-day rap with his deep and husky cadence.

Both also have their fair share of bangers and big-time collaborations. Lil Harold had some background vocals on Savage’s third studio album, american dream, earlier this year. You can find him on “dangerous” and “letter to my brudda.” He also had a fantastic single with JID not too long ago. Furthermore, he will be joining Savage, JID, and Nardo Wick for The American Dream Tour that kicks off in May. BigX had a big 2023 with the release of two projects, THE BIGGEST and AMAR. Those saw him work alongside Offset, Sauce Walka, Finesse2tymes and more.

Now, these two soon-to-be-stars are teaming up for the first time on “Gin & Juice.” However, this one shares no similarities to Snoop Dogg’s classic. The beat on this song slaps hard with the soulful vocal samples that return every now and again. The bass is resonant, and the string sections add a big budget feel to everything. Both rappers deliver sticky flows as well and it all comes together. Be sure to check this one out ASAP.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single, “Gin & Juice,” by 21 Lil Harold and BigXthaPlug? Is this better than “Sundown” with JID, why or why not? What is your favorite element of the song and why? Who had the strongest performance on the track and why? If an album is coming soon, do these last two efforts have you excited?

Skepta Experiments With Afrobeats On Laid-Back “Tony Montana” Featuring Portable & JAE5

March 1, 2024 by newhiphopnews

There are a lot of artists we are dying to hear new projects from. After a fairly uneventful year in 2023 from the mainstream, everyone is making up for lost time. They are also looking to prove that the genre is still alive and deserves its flowers as one of the top subsets of music across the globe. One of those rappers making a highly-awaited return is Skepta. At the turn of 2024, the UK great announced Knife and Fork, his first foray back into rap since 2020’s Insomnia. Skepta is back to teasing the record with “Tony Montana.”

This is now the third single that will land on his seventh project. He got off to a strong start releasing “Jangrova” back on January 19 with Tribal Mark, ODUMODUBLVCK, and Idris Elba (IDRIS). Then, just a week later, he would go on to put out the controversial single “Gas Me Up (Diligent)” with production from Cardo. Its cover art, which fans believed made disgusting callbacks to The Holocaust, was eventually taken down after pushback from Skepta.

All of that brings us to “Tony Montana,” which is a drastic deviation from the usual sonics we are accustomed to hearing from the grime icon. Skepta goes for more of an Afrobeat vibe, which has been taking over as of late. To help bring some more African authenticity, Portable, a Nigerian singer and rapper delivers the chorus. It is easily the most chill example we have heard out of the three and it features production from JAE5, a popular UK producer.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single, “Tony Montana,” by Skepta, Portable, and JAE5? Is this the best single from Knife and Fork, why or why not? What is your favorite element of the song and why? Who had the strongest performance on the track and why? Is this going to be an album of the year contender?

Conway The Machine, Westside Gunn, & The Alchemist Release Their Physical Copy Exclusive “Halal”

February 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

You would be hard pressed to find another rapper who had a more productive and successful 2023 than Conway the Machine. There are a lot of artists that constantly have new music ready, but not many can top the quality of the Griselda affiliate. It was especially incredible to see how the Buffalo native was able to squeak out two records within the last week of 2023. One of those two records was Hall & Nash 2 with Westside Gunn and The Alchemist. It was a nine-song tape; that is if you bought a physical copy. If you did you would be able to hear Conway the Machine on “Halal.”

Additionally, if you were able to snag either a vinyl or CD of the record, the album cover was different. You can see the alternate work up above. Now, everyone can hear this bonus track, as it is currently on YouTube. Conway kicks off “Halal” with signature crackly and gravelly flows.

Listen To “Halal” By Conway The Machine, Westside Gunn, & The Alchemist

Westside Gunn pops in for the second verse right after. The Alchemist brings a light piano-heavy instrumental that allows both spitters to effortlessly coast over it. These three have an undeniable connection with so many collaborations throughout the last few years. Be sure to check out “Halal” now.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single, “Halal,” by Conway the Machine, Westside Gunn, and The Alchemist? Is this the best song from Hall & Nash 2, why or why not?

Bear1Boss & SoFaygo Hop On Their First Track Together With “Conscious”

February 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Auto-tune is probably never going out of style in hip-hop and hopefully it never does. While it can be to the detriment of some rappers, Bear1Boss and SoFaygo use it expertly. The two auto-crooners who have roots in the ATL are bringing their first-ever collaboration to the world as of a couple of days ago. Bear1Boss and SoFaygo’s “conscious” is a futuristic and spacey trap banger with vocal work inspired by Yeat.

Bear1Boss’s “conscious” can be found on his most recent record SUPER BOSS! As we mentioned, Iit hit streaming platforms this past weekend. The project features rage rapper JELEEL! and D3rt as well. If you are not familiar with Bear1Boss, he is a prolific genre-bending talent. He navigates and successfully combines the worlds of pop, rap, and electronic to create his idiosyncratic style.

Listen To “Conscious” By Bear1Boss & SoFaygo

But, this is not the only major accomplishment for Bear1. The youngster was recently on the evilgiane and Surf Gang record, #HEAVENSGATE (VOL. 1). You can find him on “IDK NUN.” He plans on continuing to succeed in 2024, especially after a 2023 that saw him drop four projects and 23 singles. Be sure to check out the track and music video above.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new song, “conscious,” by Bear1Boss and SoFaygo? Is this the best track from SUPER BOSS!, why or why not?

Like an archer, nah, I cannot miss
I guess it’s about time to go schitz

Jermaine Dupri Takes A Backseat To Let Juicy J, Nelly, & Ashanti Shine On “This Lil’ Game We Play”

February 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Back in late September the iconic producer from North Carolina, Jermaine Dupri, put out an R&B jam with Jacquees called “Pick It Up.” Fast forward to early January, Dupri essentially announced that this was going to be the lead single for an upcoming EP. “Yo, what’s up y’all. I’m in here trynna get this mix done, on my new record featuring Nelly, Ashanti, and Juicy J… It’s an EP [I’m putting out] on Mass Appeal.”

Dupri continues, “The first single was with me and Jacquees called “Pick It Up.” This gon’ be the second song. That’s what we on today.” We can officially say that the second teaser is out now.

Listen To “This Lil’ Game We Play” By Jermaine Dupri, Nelly, Ashanti, & Juicy J

It is another easy-breezy R&B track that sees each performer spitting game toward the opposite sex. Each artist is looking to keep their love interest around for some casual hangouts. This is an exciting collab for Nelly and Ashanti in particular. The reason why is because the last time they were on a song together was back in 2008. There is still no word on when Dupri will drop the EP, but you can check out “This Lil’ Game We Play” for the time being.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single, “This Lil’ Game We Play,” by Jermaine Dupri, Nelly, Juicy J, and Ashanti? Does this track get you excited for the upcoming EP?

Kanye West & Ty Dolla $ign Enlist Travis Scott & Playboi Carti For Chaotic, Rage-Inducing “Fuk Sumn”

February 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Vultures 1, Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign’s highly-awaited team record are finally out. When you go into any Yeezy project, expect a big budget and tons of collaborators. This could wind up being one of his most expensive releases, especially because there are three volumes, sampling, etc. One track that had to have cost a pretty penny is “Fuk Sumn.”

Not only does it recruit the ultimate ragers, Travis Scott and Playboi Carti, but there are also eight producers. Kanye is among Timbaland, JPEGMAFIA, Hubi, SHDØW, VEYIS, Digital Nas, and Chrishan. When you have a ton of creative minds on one song, it could lead to disaster. For “Fuk Sumn,” it is the total opposite, thankfully.

Listen To “Fuk Sumn” By Kanye West, Ty Dolla $ign, Travis Scott, & Playboi Carti

The previous versions of “Fuk Sumn” had Quavo and Playboi Carti on them. But with Ye, we know the first draft is rarely the final copy. Not long before Vultures 1 dropped, Travis was added into the mix. While it would have been cool to hear Quavo on this raunchy and wild party banger, Scott fits right at home on this one. He goes old La Flame in the best way possible. The beat switches help distract you from the fairly boring lyrics. However, “Fuk Sumn” is not about penmanship, it is about having fun and it certainly delivers on that front.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new song from Vultures 1, “Fuk Sumn,” by Kanye West, Ty Dolla $ign, Travis Scott, and Playboi Carti? Is this the best track from the album, why or why not? Who had the strongest performance and why? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to tell us in the comments below.

Me not the threesome, we ’bout to have a mean one (Ooh)

Janet Jackson by the way I had her screamin’ (Ooh)
She hit the group chat, said “That n**** had me feining” (Ah)

Hit-Boy Continues Torrent Stretch Of Music With “ANOTHER ONE” Featuring Big Hit & LaRussell

February 5, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Outside of maybe a small handful of hip-hop producers, there is no one doing it better right now than Hit-Boy. The Grammy-winning beatmaker has dominated the mainstream and likes to dabble with lesser-known artists as well. Hit-Boy, like always, has been all over the place. Over the past year, he has worked with Travis Scott, Benny The Butcher, Nas, and many others.

Another artist he has been close by is actually his father. He goes by Big Hit, and lately, they have been hitting the studio to record tracks and projects. At the tail end of 2023, Big Hit put out his first LP with beats provided by his son. About a week and a half later The Game got involved with the father-son duo for Paisley Dreams.”

Listen To “ANOTHER ONE” By Hit-Boy, Big Hit, & LaRussell

Now, Hit-Boy is gearing up for another short project later this month. It will be his third collaborative tape in a row, as he teams up with LaRussell. To help promote it, he has just dropped the lead single “ANOTHER ONE.” Big Hit is also back in the mix and this one is a banger. You can check out the track and music video above. RENT DUE will be available on February 25 and will have seven songs.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single, “ANOTHER ONE,” by Hit-Boy, Big Hit, and LaRussell? Who had the better verse out of the two and why? Are you excited about another Hit-Boy project?

XV & WESTSIDE BOOGIE Are Puffing Their Chest Out On MIKE SUMMERS-Produced “CD-R”

February 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

XV is one of those rappers that does not seem to get enough credit. He is not a face of hip-hop, but that does not mean he is not super talented. The long-time MC hailing from Wichita, Kansas has always given listeners some fun and catchy bangers that sound good in the headphones. XV can bring the quick one-liners whenever he wants, adding to his contagious character. One track of his that has some recognition, but perhaps not enough of it, is “Awesome.” If anyone grew up playing the early 2010s NBA 2K video games that song made it onto the soundtrack.

XV even grabbed Pusha T for a version and it hits hard to this day. Hopping off the nostalgia train for a second, he is back with a new single. This one features production from MIKE SUMMERS, as well as a verse from the talented WESTSIDE BOOGIE. This is the first time we have seen these two MCs on one track and we might need more down the road.

Listen To “CD-R” By XV, MIKE SUMMERS, & WESTSIDE BOOGIE

“CD-R” is a braggadocious cut that makes a clever nod to burning songs onto CDs. XV refers to this in the chorus, saying that this song is so fire you will want to put it on a CD-R. The cover art takes a page out of the recent 1999 WRITE THE FUTURE singles with colorful discs. Be sure to give XV’s new one a listen, you will not regret it.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single, “CD-R,” by XV, MIKE SUMMERS, and WESTSIDE BOOGIE? Who had the better performance on the track and why? Does he need to drop a new album this year after hearing this? What is your favorite XV project and why? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this.

USHER & Pheelz Deliver Light & Rhythmic Soul Cut “Ruin”

February 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

USHER is making his long overdue return to music very, very soon. The iconic performer and seductive R&B singer will finally be releasing his first album since 2018. That was a mini eight-song LP with fellow Georgian producer Zaytoven called “A” that had features from Future and Gunna. If you are wondering when USHER put out his last solo effort, you would have to return to 2016 with Hard II Love.

While dropping your first album in nearly six years is very exciting, performing at the Super Bowl is another reason to be giddy. It is safe to say USHER is feeling that way based on all of his recent interviews. The ageless 45-year-old superstar’s next album will be called COMING HOME and will have 20 tracks. The tracklist, as well as the release date, which is February 9, is available to be seen on Apple Music.

Listen To “Ruin” By USHER & Pheelz

So far, USHER has put out three songs from the LP. Those include “Good Good” with Summer Walker and 21 Savage, the Jung Kook collaboration “Standing Next to You,” and “Risk It All” featuring H.E.R. That is being pulled from The Color Purple movie soundtrack. This latest single is called “Ruin” and brings along Nigerian Afropop/Afrobeats artist and producer Pheelz. He takes the reigns on the beat and adds a verse. Both sing beautifully about a lover that is slowly draining them of their energy. The instrumental mixes elements of soul, R&B, and Pheelz native sounds of African music. It all comes together very well, so be sure to check it out.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new song, “Ruin,” by USHER and Pheelz? Is this the best single from his forthcoming record COMING HOME, why or why not? Will this be a top-tier project in his discography? Are you excited about the LP? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this.

You ruined me for everybody
You ruined me for everybody, ooh
Bye-bye, good riddance for the last time (Ooh, for the last time)

Benny The Butcher & Snoop Dogg Mix East & West Coast Sounds On “Back Again”

January 31, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Benny The Butcher is someone you can almost always count on to put out a fantastic listen front to back. The edgy Buffalo wordsmith has been in the game for a hot minute but has more or less blown up fairly recently. Part of that reason could be because he inked a deal with Def Jam not too long ago. But, let us be real with ourselves for a second. His lyricism, the ability to craft interesting and intricate flows, as well as his ear for good production, have brought him to this moment right here.

That moment we are talking about is his brand-new album, Everybody Can’t Go. The trim 12-track project features production heavily from legends Hit-Boy and The Alchemist. You will also find Lil Wayne, his Griselda mates Conway the Machine and Westside Gunn, and plenty more. One track that has been a go-to for us and others is “Back Again” with Snoop Dogg.

Listen To “Back Again” By Benny The Butcher & Snoop Dogg

Surprisingly, this is not their first collaboration. Back in November 2021, they, along with Jadakiss and Busta Rhymes, came together for a haunting single “Murder Music.” “Back Again” is an effortless synergy of West meets East. Benny brings some of his best writing in a song that talks about focusing on staying on course toward your goals. Snoop kills the chorus and the beat from Hit-Boy adds elements of East Coast boom-bap and sirens that are so prevalent in G-Funk and gangsta rap from the West. You can check out the killer visuals and music in the music video above.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new song, “Back Again,” by Benny The Butcher and Snoop Dogg? Is this the best track from Everybody Can’t Go, why or why not? Is this the greatest album he has ever put out? Does this have the potential to be the album of the year, why or why not? What tracks are you gravitating toward so far? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your hottest takes in the comments section below.

Ain’t nothin’ like that first M, feel like I’m going on my second life
At times, I was staring down the barrel
I had to get my mind right and drive like Andretti
‘Cause the further you go, the road to riches gon’ get narrow
This like y’all n****s third notice, I won’t say it four times
Lawn at my crib like a basketball court size
