December 24, 2023 by newhiphopnews

DJ Premier has been fairly active this year for his standards. He is not one to release a lot of material period. But for some reason he has been extra generous this time around. He has put out a project and several singles.

The Houston, Texas producer continued his series of Beats That Collected Dust with the third volume. On the singles side of things, he has worked with some underground names and more mainstream artists too. Namely, he teamed up with Westside Gunna and Rome Streetz on “Runway.” This time, he is back, but with a rerelease of song from 21 years ago.

Quotable Lyrics:

If I say rock star, I’m talking about rocking the mic
My s***’s hot like the rock a fiend drop in a pipe
These cats is idiots, with raps so p***y they catch periods
I’m serious, my life is like a drug experience
A p**no movie with no plot and I’m the only guy in it
Like Vivid videos with Kobe Tai dime b*****s

Big Scarr’s Team Releases Visuals For “Bulletproof” With NLE Choppa One Year After His Passing

December 23, 2023 by newhiphopnews

After losing Big Scarr’s spirit back on December 22 of last year, many realized how much potential he wielded. The 23-year-old talent born out of Memphis, Tennessee shared a lot of similarities to some of the current and past rappers from the city. His voice is nearly the same as artists like Moneybagg Yo, Young Dolph, and Key Glock. If enjoy their brands of music, Scarr fits that bill to a tee. Unfortunately, we will never get to see the full range of talent, after passing away due to a drug overdose.

However, Big Scarr’s team, as well as Gucci Mane, have been doing their best to carry on his voice. A few weeks ago, Scarr’s 1017 label head posthumously released his third project, Frozone. It featured a lot of solid tracks. It seemed the young buck was in another zone with these recordings.

To further honor his budding legacy, Scarr’s team has just released a music video for “Bulletproof.” It features another Memphis native, NLE Choppa. He is shown throughout the video holding up the Gold plaque for his first project, Big Grim Reaper: The Return (Deluxe Edition). It dropped on the first anniversary of his passing. You can see the visuals above.

Bun B, Benny The Butcher, And Rome Streetz Trade Great Verses Over Statik Selekah Beat On “Trillselda”

December 23, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Bun B and Statik Selektah’s legacies are firmly entrenched within hip-hop lore. Each of them do different things, but each have already left a lasting impact on the genre. It is arguable that Bun’s rapping and Statik’s beats are on equal playing field in terms of quality and influence. Combine them together and you have a truly great duo on your hands.

Well, that is exactly what they have done. The Houston artist and the Boston producer have just come through with their third project. It is a part of their Trillstatik series. It dates back to 2019 and each one has provided a stellar feature list. Trillstatik 3 is only available on bandcamp.com and there is no signs that this will make an appearance on DSPs.

<a href="https://statikselekt.bandcamp.com/album/trillstatik-3">Trillstatik 3 by Bun B & Statik Selektah</a>

One track we want to highlight from this tape is “Trillseda.” Bun and Statik grab Benny The Butcher and Rome Streetz. Both have been dropping quality material throughout 2023. The Buffalo product is gearing up for his highly-hyped 2024 record, Everybody Can’t Go. All four components do very well here, with the beat being one of the more subdued to allow for the lyrics and cadences to shine. You can check out the track and album above.

What are your initial thoughts on this brand-new song, “Trillselda,” by Bun B, Statik Selektah, Benny The Butcher, and Rome Streetz? Is this the best song from Trillstatik 3, why or why not? If not, which track is more impressive and why? Who had the best performance on the song? Is Benny going to have an album of the year candidate next year?

Propain, Freddie Gibbs, And Devin The Dude Combine Their Talents On “Always Down”

December 22, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Propain has not been the most active rapper this year, but he is back to deliver a new LP for his fans. The Houston, Texas artist has just come by with a 13-track offering in the form of Made From Scratch. It has been quite some time since HNHH has covered one of Propain’s projects. In fact, it was about two years ago that we touched on It Ain’t Safe Outside. That was also a tighter listen, sitting at just 12 songs and 41 minutes in length. It contained features from other Texas natives like Sauce Walka, Slim Thug, Paul Wall, and more.

Made From Scratch also features names from the state where it is go big or go home. Propain grabbed guest verses from Big K.R.I.T., Sauce Walka, OTB Fastlane, up-and-comer That Mexican OT, and more. One track we wanted to feature includes the talents of Freddie Gibbs and Devin The Dude. It is track number 10 on the LP.

Listen To “Always Down” By Propain, Freddie Gibbs, And Devin the Dude

There is a ton of Southern hip-hop influence here, obviously. But, this song does it a little differently. It removes the heavy bass and relies solely on softer drums. Additionally, there is some great layering here too. The “always down” looping vocals add to the dusty and hypnotizing feeling this track gives off. Propain and Freddie deliver some aggressive verses to contrast the more lowkey production.

What are your initial thoughts on this brand-new song, “Always Down,” by Propain, Freddie Gibbs, and Devin The Dude? Is this the best song from Made from Scratch? If not, what song are you going to put above it? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this.

Night Lovell And ZillaKami Feel Their Lives Are Not Worth Living On “LIFE SUCKS SO WE F***”

December 13, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Canadian rapper Night Lovell is a rapper who fits into the mold of blending genres. He likes to mix elements of horrorcore, metal, rock, trap, and emo rap, all into one. That is why it makes sense for him to work with artists who like to experiment similarly. ZillaKami happens to be one of those artists and he lands on this project.

Lovell came through this past weekend with his new album, I HOPE YOU’RE HAPPY. It is a concise tape with just 12 tracks that does not even reach 30 minutes in length. One of the songs that is getting some buzz is “LIFE SUCKS SO WE F***.” It is a song that shows both rappers reflecting on who they want to be.

Listen To “LIFE SUCKS SO WE F***” By Night Lovell And ZillaKami

Another idea it touches on is that female attention. Even though they are enjoying it, presumably in the form of one-night stands or situationships, it brings some self-reflection. In the lyrics provided below, Lovell says, “I control my life, but I know this ain’t what it’s meant to be (Meant).” On the surface, it might sound like a rage track with little to no substance, but the lyrics prove otherwise.

What are your initial thoughts on this new song, “LIFE SUCKS SO WE F***,” by Night Lovell and ZillaKami? Is this the best track from Lovell’s newest record, I HOPE YOU’RE HAPPY? Where does this project rank amongst the rest of his discography for you? 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.

Quotable Lyrics:

This so fire all my h**s at my damn fingertips (Yeah)
I control my life, but I know this ain’t what it’s meant to be (Meant)
Lookin’ back in time, there was no way that you could tend to me (Tend)
Stand on what I said, I know I can’t bring back yo’ energy (Energy)
Wasted all this time, b****, all that s*** was just a mess to me (A mess)
Wake up, time to cake up (Kk), f*** investigators (‘Gators)

J. Stone Drops Underdog Anthem “Foundation” With Nipsey Hussle, B.H., And Hit-Boy

November 22, 2023 by newhiphopnews

J. Stone and Nipsey Hussle have been boys for a little while, especially after being signed by the late rapper’s label, All Money In No Money Out. The music world tragically lost Nip back in 2019 and is great to see his legacy still live on four years later. The latest way to check out the deceased rapper on a new track is on Stone’s newest record, The Definition Of Success. It is the last installment in the Definition series.

They both appear on one of the tracks called “Foundation.” However, they are not the only two guests on the cut. Stone also has recruited superstar producer Hit-Boy as well as B.H. to join him for a bit of an underdog anthem. The beat is really hard-hitting and has a triumphant feel.

Listen To “Foundation” By J. Stone, Hit-Boy, Nipsey Hussle, And B.H.

Stone also got some other big-time features on this 17-track project. Trae Tha Truth, Dom Kennedy, Dave East, and more land here as well. What is interesting about “Foundation” is the time at which the song was made. HipHopDX pulled a quote from Stone about how it came to be. “[It was] something that we worked on in 2018. We just spiced up the beat just a little bit ’cause it’s 2023 now, so we made it make sense.”

What are your initial thoughts on this brand-new song from J. Stone, Nipsey Hussle, and B.H., “Foundation?” Is this the best track from Stone’s latest record, The Definition of Success?

Then you got to make moves
And you know the game test you
You just gotta stay true
First they probably like who?
Then you finally break through

Don Toliver And Kali Uchis Had Us Floating On “Drugs N Hella Melodies”

October 8, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Don Toliver’s rise to fame for most listeners began back in 2018 with his appearance on a big-time album. In 2018, he joined Travis Scott for a song off his album ASTROWORLD. With all of the features being hidden, some artists were hard to discern on first listen and Don was one of them. He captured listeners with his energetic and unique voice on “CAN’T SAY,” and the rest is history from there.

He went on to drop his debut album Heaven Or Hell in 2020 to much acclaim. Don showed he could command an album by himself and he quickly followed it up a year later. That brings us to the record of discussion today, Life Of A DON. This album just turned two and we wanted to celebrate its release with arguably the most popular and waviest song, “Drugs N Hella Melodies,” featuring Kali Uchis.

Relisten To “Drugs N Hella Melodies” By Don Toliver And Kali Uchis

This was the second lead single for L.O.A.D coming after the release of “What You Need.” The collaboration makes perfect sense seeing how the two have been dating for two years now. But, also, from a musical perspective, both of their voices create a harmonious symphony. The beat, partially provided by DJ Dahi, is very melodic, woozy, and transcendent. The song definitely lives up to its name.

What were your initial thoughts on “Drugs N Hella Melodies” from Don Toliver and Kali Uchis? Was this your favorite song on the first listen of Life Of A DON? Is this the best project he has ever put out? 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 thoughts and opinions in the comments section below. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest breaking news on Don Toliver, as well as all of the best throwback releases.

Quotable Lyrics:

S*x full of adrenaline
This p***y put you right to sleep just like a sedative
Not to sound conceited, I’m not one to brag
But I’m the girl you needed that you never had
Some people only see the negative
Some people find a way to see the good in everything

Drake And Teezo Touchdown Talk About Love And Loyalty On “Amen”

October 7, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The hip-hop world is on fire because of one thing right now. It is because of Drake’s pushed-back and highly-awaited tape, For All The Dogs, is here. In fact, it did not even hit streaming platforms until 6 a.m. Regardless, everyone can finally hear what all the hype has been about over the past few months. There are plenty of interesting tracks to dive into, and one of them is “Amen.”

What makes this song enticing is the fact that Teezo Touchdown appears on it. Ever since Drake told Teezo that his debut album was some of the best material he had ever heard, many wondered if the two would collaborate. Well, those dreams came true, and then some. The up-and-coming singer and rapper has one other uncredited feature. You can hear Teezo on the backend of “7969 Santa” as well.

However, “Amen” features the most vocal work from Touchdown. He and Drake might be forming a new rapper-singer duo going forward. Additionally, on a larger scale, Teezo might be the next in-demand vocalist for most rappers’ albums. His gorgeous voice on “Amen” showcases his range and then some. The messages of love and loyalty shine through in Drake and Teezo’s lyrics. It makes it out to be one of the more powerful songs on the project.

What are your initial thoughts on Drake and Teezo Touchdown’s brand new song, “Amen,” from For All The Dogs? Is this one of the best tracks on the album? Did Teezo provide his best feature on this song or a different one in the tracklist? We want to hear what you have to say about all of this.

She prayin’ for me while I’m on the road

I’m prayin’ that these girls’ll never know
She prayin’ asking God for a sign
I just went and paid her car note
