Gunna Hypes Up Potential Offset Collaboration, Fans React

March 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Gunna is an artist who many had written off last year. After being released from jail, no one wanted to go near him. Overall, this was because people thought he had snitched on Young Thug. However, once he dropped a gift & a curse, the narrative around the artist changed. Now, people see him as a superstar and other artists are beginning to warm up to him. He has been teasing some new music as of late, and there is a real sense that he will have some collaborators this time around.

Well, thanks to his latest Instagram post, it seems like we know who Gunna might work with next. As you can see down below, Gunna posed for some blurry photos where he continued to showcase his love of fashion. However, if you continue to scroll, you will notice that Offset makes a few appearances. Offset is fresh off of the release of Set It Off and he is certainly the perfect person to collaborate with. While Gunna didn’t make anything official, the connection is a pretty easy one to make.

Matt Champion Recruits Blackpink’s Jennie For “Slow Motion”

March 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Former Brockhampton member Matt Champion kicked off 2024 with a bang, unveiling his song “Aphid” in February. Later that month, he dropped a danceable track called “Slug,” paving the way for even more to come. Now, the Texas-born performer has come through with yet another dreamy single, this time teaming up with K-pop icon Jennie.

The Blackpink superstar lends her hypnotic vocals to the otherwise electronic track. Lyrics center around wishing time would stand still, allowing moments with a loved one to last a lifetime. The track was produced by Matt Champion, Henry Kwapis, Dijon, and other “close collaborators,” according to a press release.

Mika’s Laundry Arrives March 22

The melancholy song certainly delivers the bright, fresh atmosphere one would hope for on a pre-spring release, and has managed to leave fans hoping for more. Fortunately, it won’t be too much longer before fans hear another release from Matt Champion, as the hitmaker has also recently announced a new full-length project. His debut solo album, dubbed Mika’s Laundry, is slated for release on March 22.

“Slow Motion” additionally arrives alongside an accompanying music video. In the simple, trippy visual, viewers watch a close-up shot of an eyeball reacting to flashing lights. The video was directed by Anna Pollack, who also directed Matt Champion’s “Aphid” and “Slug” music videos, which he unveiled in February. What do you think of Matt Champion’s new track with Blackpink’s Jennie? Do you think the two of them should collaborate again in the future? Will you be adding “Slow Motion” to your playlist?

Driving upside down
You’re my escape from reality
You know what you mean to me
‘Cause I’m leaning all my weight
Making my heart cry
Moving in slow, slow motion

Drake’s OVO Brand Hit With Backlash Following NEEDLES Collaboration

March 5, 2024 by newhiphopnews

While Drake is certainly a business unto himself, his OVO brand is also a major reason for his never-ending success. The record label/clothing company has had a huge impact on pop culture for quite some time. It has become one of the most recognizable logos in the space with its iconic gold and black scheme, and of course, the owl. In terms of apparel, we have seen a lot of amazing work over the years with the Toronto Raptors jerseys, as well as the rare and expensive Jordans. However, not everything is going to be a smash hit. Drake’s latest collaboration with NEEDLES is not getting the same love, to say the least.

NEEDLES is a Japanese luxury clothing brand that has been around since 1995. According to HipHopDX, them and OVO decided to work together to bring a small capsule to show off the two brands creative flare. Hype Beast initially shared more of the details about the drop at the beginning of the month. With two powerhouse names like NEEDLES and Drake’s OVO, you would think this would be a success without a doubt.

Fans Call The Drake & NEEDLES Collaboration “Corny” & “A Downgrade”

Unfortunately, the opposite is true here. Above is just one of the items included in the lineup. It is a black and gold tracksuit that features the latter color stripes on the sleeves, as well as the owl and NEEDLES butterfly logo. Fans are ripping their efforts to shreds saying, “Overpriced crap $ now you collab with them.” Another goes, “This is easily the worst & corniest collab in the brands history. Gonna lose as many customers as you’re gonna gain.” The capsule also includes a mohair cardigan, various t-shirts with the OVO lettering and butterfly combined, and a plaid shirt.

What are your thoughts on Drake collaborating with NEEDLES? Is this the best OVO team-up, why or why not? If you had to purchase something from the drop, what would you choose and why? Are the fans right, that this capsule is not it? 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 Drake and OVO. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on around the worlds of music and fashion.

Pharrell Williams & Miley Cyrus Team Up For “Doctor (Work It Out)”

March 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

While we’re only a few months into 2024, it’s already been a wildly successful year for Miley Cyrus. The multi-hyphenate secured her first two Grammy Awards last month for her hit song “Flowers,” which was honored as Record of the Year as well as Best Pop Solo Performance of 2023. Her LP Endless Summer Vacation was also nominated for various awards.

Now, the performer is back with yet another pop anthem, this time in collaboration with hip-hop and R&B mainstay Pharrell Williams. The duo dropped off their new single “Doctor (Work It Out)” late last week, and it’s already received a tremendous amount of praise from fans.

Miley Cyrus & Pharrell Revive Bangerz Era Track

At the time of writing, the song is in the top 10 of the U.S. iTunes chart. It’s also trending on YouTube, Spotify and more. It features powerful vocals and fun adlibs from Miley, and groovy, upbeat production from Pharrell. While Pharrell doesn’t contribute to the track vocally, fans can agree that his touch is woven throughout, and embodies his signature sound. The release is also accompanied by a playful accompanying music video, which sees Miley channel her inner Tina Turner, dancing along to the catchy single.

Fans first got a glimpse at the unedited version of “Doctor (Work It Out)” back in 2017. It was originally written amid Miley’s Bangerz era, and though various other Pharrell-produced tracks made the cut, got set aside. Pharrell teased the official release in January of this year at the Louis Vuitton Men’s Fall-Winter 2024 Collection event in Paris. What do you think of Pharrell and Miley Cyrus’ new song? Will you be adding “Doctor (Work It Out)” to your playlist? Do you think they should collaborate again in the future? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Quotable Lyrics:

I could be your doctor
And I could be your nurse
I think I see the problem
It’s only gon’ get worse

Tommy Richman, Paco, & Jonah Roy Collide For Spooky “GHOULS N GHOSTS”

March 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

While we specialize in covering artists that in hip-hop and R&B, it is always a fun time covering talents that blur the lines between the two. Case and point, Tommy Richman. He is a resident of Virginia and he really is a unique case. However, he embraces the fact that he does not pigeonhole himself to one genre. In a chat with Lyrical Lemonade, he explains how he likes to create music. “Honestly man, I just try to make cool s*** for people but more so for me. It’s not about the gimmicks or cliches for me.”

Tommy continues, “I wanna make stuff that’s palatable and listenable but also just s*** I like and am interested in.” That is when the interviewer dug a little deeper and questioned him about how he wants the listener to feel. “I personally think this is a silly question. I don’t really care what people think about it. People can feel however they want – if they think it’s cool then great and if they don’t, f*** it!”

Listen To “GHOULS N GHOSTS” By Tommy Richman, Paco, & Jonah Roy

The multi-talent goes on, “I make the music that I feel and connect with and if it connects with someone else, then great.” That is the case for his new song “GHOULS N GHOSTS” with a feature from Paco and production from Jonah Roy. It seems its connecting with listeners as each performer fits nicely over the Luigi’s Mansion-esque beat. The song has a similar melody that you might hear on a Brent Faiyaz song. Which makes sense considering Tommy had some placements on his recent LP.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single, “GHOULS N GHOSTS,” by Tommy Richman, Paco, and Jonah Roy? Is this one of the best tracks Tommy has ever made, why or why not? What is your favorite element of the song and why? Would you like to see him drop a new project sometime this year? Who had the more memorable performance? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.

ScHoolboy Q & Ab-Soul Have A Fan-Favorite With “Foux”

March 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

ScHoolboy Q has finally given us BLUE LIPS and we are very pleased to say that it has delivered and then some. The California rapper almost always seems to be at his peak when he experiments with instrumentals, cadences, lyrics, and flows. Q does that throughout the duration of the LP and you can definitely tell five years were needed to craft this body of work. While it may not be for everyone, there is no doubt that this project was worth the wait. One highlight we had to cover is ScHoolboy Q and Ab-Soul’s “Foux.”

This one of the more introspective cuts here, as it sees each TDE talent dealing with internal struggles. Q’s hook is infectious but also quite gloomy. He quickly raps over the scattering drum patterns, howling background vocals, and somber piano keys. Incredibly, outside of some Black Hippy cuts, this the first time we have heard Q and Ab-Soul on a song together since 2012 with “Druggys Wit H**s Again.”

Listen To “Foux” By ScHoolboy Q & Ab-Soul

In fact, ScHoolboy references the first of those two songs, “Druggy’s Wit H**s.” That landed on his debut, Setbacks, and you can hear the callback on the bridge. Ab-Soul does not disappoint either. “Shot for the moon, now I need my gat
Cocaine is a hell of a drug / And my year been Heaven above / But ’nuff is just never enough / I’m stuck when I should be levelin’ up.”

What are your thoughts on this brand-new song, “Foux,” by ScHoolboy Q? Is this the best track from BLUE LIPS, why or why not? What is your favorite element of the song and why? Is this the album of the year so far, why or why not? Who had the stronger performance? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.

Quotable Lyrics:

Got a house full of cars and it be like that (Be like that)
House full of pain and it be like that (Be like that)
Fell out of love and it be like that (Be like that)
Mouth full of drugs and it be like that
I done ran out of faith and it be like that (Be like that)
Hid many times and it be like that (Be like that)

DaeMoney Nabs LUCKI & Veeze For Dreamy “JAPANESE DENIM”

March 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Veeze and LUCKI have been tearing things up lately in the rap game. Their idiosyncratic and mumbly styles have captivated fans as their legends continue to grow. However, there is another kid on the block that is starting to earn his stripes similar to these two. That artist goes by DaeMoney and like Veeze, he also hails from the blue-collar city of Detroit. Today, he makes his debut on the site and what better way than to do it by collaborating with the aforementioned stars. Additionally, DaeMoney’s “JAPANESE DENIM” lands on his new album.

This is not the first time that Dae and Veeze have worked together. You can also check out tracks such as “Gta,” which also has LUCKI, “Who Is That?” and “Fingers Crossed.” DaeMoney’s “JAPANESE DENIM” is a whimsical and hazy cut that sees each rapper flexing. If you are not familiar, Japenese-stitched denim is very expensive due to the way its made on top of the high-end materials used.

Listen To “JAPANESE DENIM” By DaeMoney, LUCKI, & Veeze

As for a little bit more information on DaeMoney, he is in his early 20s and has been releasing material since 2018. He has also worked with artists like Babyface Ray and others on that level of popularity. His last record, Slae Season 3, made his signature tape series into a trilogy in 2023 and got some positive feedback. So, be sure to check this out as well as his newest tape, ROCKSTAR LIFESTYLE 2.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new song, “JAPANESE DENIM,” by DaeMoney, LUCKI, and Veeze? Is this one of his better tracks as of late, why or why not? What is your favorite element of the song and why? Who had the strongest performance on the track? What other songs are you gravitating toward on ROCKSTAR LIFESTYLE 2?

Teezo Touchdown Cover Talking Heads’ “Making Flippy Floppy” For A24

February 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Teezo Touchdown has quickly become one of the most sought after multi-hyphenates in the music industry. We primarly cover him when it pertains to hip-hop crossovers. However, this instance is for something totally different. After nabbing a big time placement on Lyrical Lemonade and Cole Bennett’s debut tape All is Yellow, the Texan is now assisting an indie film company with a soundtrack. That brand is A24, who in the latter half of last year got the chance to re-release the Talking Heads’ independent 1984 concert film Stop Making Sense. Teezo Touchdown is one of the artists that is going to be featured on the soundtrack as he covers Talking Heads’ “Making Flippy Floppy.”

According to Uproxx, alt rock band Paramore were the first to cover a track from the 1983 record Speaking In Tongues. They remade “Burning Down the House,” and now Teezo is the second artist to make the cut. The 40th anniversary remaster of the film hit theaters on September 22. However, the accompanying project of covers is still awaiting a release date.

Listen To “Making Flippy Floppy” By Teezo Touchdown

However, we do have the name of the project, which is Everyone’s Getting Involved: A Stop Making Sense Tribute Album. The Talking Heads and Teezo Touchdown are honestly a mirroring image of each other. Both are extremely unconventional artists which makes things conventional in that sense. Teezo’s wild and entertaining voice steal the show and it would making Talking Heads proud.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single, “Making Flippy Floppy,” by Teezo Touchdown? Is he the best genre-bending hip-hop adjacent artist out right now, why or why not? What was your favorite element of the song and why? Should he do more Talking Heads covers? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.

Everything is divided
Nothing is complete
Everything looks impressive
Do not be deceived

Erick Sermon Says Kanye West’s Next Solo Album Will Be A Return To The Old Ye

February 27, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Erick Sermon says that he worked with Kanye West on new music in Florence, Italy, last year, and the songs the rapper was putting together sounded like the old Kanye. Reflecting on the experience during an interview with HipHopDX, Sermon explained that the tracks were separate from Ye’s work with Ty Dolla Sign on Vultures and instead, for an upcoming solo effort.

“The record I was working on wasn’t what him and Ty Dolla Sign was doing at the time,” Sermon recalled. “I was working on Y3, Ye’s solo album […] Hopefully, we can finish what we started, y’know, ’cause I had him on Hip Hop. I was like, ‘You got to rhyme and we have to do the stuff that you used to do ’cause you ill at that,’ y’know? And he listened […] I had [the old Kanye] back.”

Kanye hasn’t provided details on his next solo release, but he intends to drop two more projects with Ty Dolla Sign to round out the Vultures trilogy. He shared the first installment independently on February 10. It features collaborations with Freddie Gibbs, YG, Quavo, Playboi Carti, Travis Scott, his own daughter, North, and several more artists. It debuted at No. 1 on the US Billboard 200, marking the rapper’s 11th consecutive album to do so. West has said he intends to drop the second and third installments of the trilogy on March 8 and April 5. Check out Sermon’s interview with HipHopDX below.

Pharrell Teases Miley Cyrus Collaboration

February 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Pharrell is working with Miley Cyrus on a new collaboration that he teased on his Instagram on Friday. Mentioning that the track would be coming “soon,” he previewed a portion of the singer’s verse. “I could be your doctor and I could be your nurse/ I think I see the problem, it’s only gon’ get worse/ I need my medication just show me where it hurts/ I need to rock you baby before your body burns,” Cyrus sings.

“Doctor” isn’t the first time Pharrell and Cyrus have collaborated with one another over the years. In addition to Pharrell producing several of her songs on Bangerz, Cyrus also lent her voice to the GIRL track, ”Come Get It Bae” in 2014. “I have this theory about Disney artists: They have the best work ethic ever,” Pharrell told The Hollywood Reporter in 2013. “She had inquired about working with me, but I had inquired about looking for her—we found each other at the same time.”
