Megan Thee Stallion is someone who has continuously showcased her talent to fans. Overall, she has gained a significant amount of popularity over these past five years. Although she has been through so much, she has continued to show people that she is resilient. That resiliency will be taking her well into 2024 as she looks to drop a new album as an independent artist. Moreover, she has some pretty cool collaborations on the horizon. For instance, she is going to be working with Nike.
If you watched her New Year’s Rockin’ Eve performance, you would have noticed that she had somewhat of a WWE outfit on. However, upon closer inspection, the purple get-up was branded with the Nike swoosh. Soon after this look popped up, Sole Retriever reported on the extent of the collection and what fans can expect. Essentially, there will be a plethora of pieces including a jacket, bras, a onesie, a crop top, a bodysuit, and even shorts. Needless to say, Nike and Megan are going all out.
There is a wide range of prices for this new collaboration. For instance, the bodysuit and the jacket are going to cost $200 USD. However, some of the smaller items will only run you about $40 USD. As for the release date of this collaboration, it seems like everything will be coming out on February 15th, which lands on a Wednesday. This is certainly going to be a unique collaboration, and fans are definitely excited about the opportunity to cop. Hopefully, it lives up to the expectations in terms of quality.

Happy New Year to all, and to welcome us into 2024, we have The Game and Big Hit’s new collaborative nine-track mixtape Paisley Dreams, produced by the latter’s son, the one and only Hit-Boy. Moreover, this new project follows the father-son duo’s recent collaborative album, which marks Big Hit’s debut full-length release. Not only that, but this new record was the product of an impromptu studio session which turned into a sharp and focused process. It released right on New Year’s Day 2024, and it’s a no-frills collection of hardened boom-bap and G-funk, soulful chops, vividly confident and boisterous bars, and excellent chemistry between its MCs. These artists also took to social media to share some revelations about Paisley Dreams.
“I pulled on @hitboy & @bighit 3 days ago to do 1 song,” The Game expressed on Instagram. “Stayed a few hours & ended up doing a 9 song tape that night. I’m not here to ask you to stream it or download it. I’m just a man, telling his fans a story about last night & the night before.” “The Game pulled up on me and Big Hit 4 days ago,” Hit-Boy wrote on his IG post about the release. “and i was thinking maybe we ask him to get on the ‘Bang Freestyle’ remix or something at MOST. But instead he locked in with us for the rest of the night and we made a 9 song album.” This follows an incredibly prolific run for the producer in 2023, as he dropped multiple albums including the finale of his Nas run, Magic 3.

Juicy J reacted with praise to a beat from Metro Boomin on Twitter, last week, suggesting that the producer get Project Pat to perform on it. “Project Pat would kill that,” he wrote with a fire emoji. Metro had been fielding ideas as to who would sound best over the beat. “Who do y’all hear on this?” he captioned the snippet.
Juicy’s post got followers of both artists excited at the idea. One user replied: “Yall gotta please Make it happen.” Another suggested: “We need a Project Pat x Metro Boomin tape asap.”

While Metro might not have a collaborative project with Pat in the cards, he recently confirmed that he and Zaytoven have been in the studio together. He wrote on Twitter, last month: “Me and @zaytovenbeatz probably got 100 [fire emoji] beats by now. I got on here to ask you guys what artist should we do a tape with first but now I’m thinking maybe it should be a compilation tape of various artists over these masterpieces!” In another post, he added: “The sound of these beats me and @zaytovenbeatz make together are so unique like nothing my ears have ever heard before. I think we need a name as a production duo.. any ideas?” Check out Juicy J’s recent response to Metro below.
In addition to working with Zaytoven, Metro will also likely be dropping his long-awaited collaborative album with Future in 2024. The rapper remarked that their project is “on the way” in a post on social media on December 23. Be on the lookout for further updates on Juicy J as well as Metro Boomin and his upcoming projects on HotNewHipHop.
Back in the mid-2000s, T-Pain was coming out with all sorts of big hits. However, he was criminally underrated and quite frankly, overhated. A lot of the hate came from those who opposed his use of autotune. Overall, there were a lot of people who felt like it was cheapening the art of singing. People who think that are flat-out wrong. His use of autotune is extremely influential and it ultimately inspired a ton of contemporary artists. Moreover, T-Pain has proven that his natural singing voice is beautiful.
One of his biggest hits from his run in the 2000s was none other than “Bartender” with Akon. This was a track that featured on the same album as “Buy U A Drank,” which just goes to show he was on a roll during this time. Below, you can find the music video for the track, which continues to be a huge hit, all of these years later. If you are looking for your dose of 2000s nostalgia today, then look no further than this offering.
T-Pain continues to do his thing. He is even getting his own residency in Las Vegas. He certainly has enough hits to make it happen. Furthermore, he has also made a nice lane for himself doing song covers. The man can perform, and we are excited to see what he is able to do next.
Let us know what you think of the track “Bartender,” in the comments section below. What are your favorite T-Pain tracks? Do you think the artist was criminally underrated during his prime? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will continue to keep you informed on all of your favorite artists and their upcoming releases.
Quotable Lyrics:
Got a brand new girl so I’m feelin’ all good inside (All good inside) Feel like I put some brand new twenty-fours on a brand new ride (On a brand new ride) Triple shot of Patron on the rocks with a little bit of lime (With a little bit of lime) I’m just keepin’ it real, uh-huh
As Diddy’s fall from grace continues to unfold, 50 Cent is solidifying his status as something of a superhero in the entertainment industry. Not only has the “Candy Shop” hitmaker promised he’ll donate proceeds from his documentary exposing Sean Combs’ troubling past to victims of sexual assault, but he’s now also stepping up to ensure Taraji P. Henson stays booked and busy after her emotional revelation about being a Black female actress in 2023.
Just a few weeks ago, the beloved starlet sat down with Gayle King and other entertainers, at which time Henson spoke candidly about suffering from exhaustion, even at this point in her career. “I’m tired of working so hard, being gracious at what I do [and] getting paid a fraction of the cost. I’m tired of hearing my sisters say the same thing over and over. You get tired. I hear people go, ‘You work a lot.’ I have to. The math ain’t mathing,” the Washington, D.C. native vented to the journalist. More recently, Taraji told the SAG-AFTRA Foundation about deciding to fire her whole team for failing to capitalize on the success of her Empire character.
“Where is my deal? Where’s my commercial? Cookie was at the top of the fashion game. Where is my endorsement? They had nothing set up,” the 53-year-old explained, also noting a spin-off series centred around her that never came to fruition. Thankfully, 50 Cent is making it clear that he wants to see Henson win, and get the money she deserves. “They dropped the ball, f**k em @tarajiphenson,” he wrote in an Instagram post on Tuesday (December 26). “I’m ready to work, let’s get it! GLG GreenLightGang G-Unit Film & TV.”
Taraji P. Henson’s brave decision to speak out about inequality in the industry seems to be sparking a movement in Hollywood. Keke Palmer followed suit while supporting The Color Purple actress, sharing that she takes on multiple side hustles because she has to, not always because she wants to. Read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more updates on 50 Cent and your other favourite rappers.
Curren$y knows how to curate solid tracks for when you want to kick back and blaze it up. Additionally, he provides music for the nighttime drives with the windows down in the summer. On his most recent tape, he delivers on that. Just this past weekend, the Louisiana rapper came through with Highway 600.
It is a nine-song collaborative tape that sees the veteran team up with Trauma Tone. The Virginia-born producer worked alongside Kino Beats to conjure up “Coming Home.” It has a Southern hip-hop tinge that perfectly suits the feature on it. Don Toliver continues his strong guest appearance run here too.
Listen To “Coming Home” By Curren$y, Trauma Tone, And Don Toliver
Shockingly, the crooner is not on the hook for this song. He spits a verse but it still does a good job deviating from Curren$y’s deep and raspy delivery. If you are looking for a track that fits the vibes we mentioned, this one is for you. You can listen to it with the YouTube link above.
What are your initial thoughts on this brand-new song, “Coming Home,” by Trauma Tone, Curren$y, and Don Toliver? Is this the best track on Highway 600, why or why not? Where do you place this tape amongst the rest of his lengthy discography? Who had the better performance on it? 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:
In a ’96 Impala, Forgiattos, paper tags On the gas, got a squadron motor growlin’ when I pass If you spot me then just holla, I can’t stop, I gotta mash Grab a bag split in half, drag a portion to the stash Rollin’ fire with my staff, parking lot full of that It’s just so cold, you don’t even know what you’re lookin’ at
Southern hip-hop has always been providing the genre with infectious hits for decades on decades. The slow-mo and wavy sounds just have something about them that gets listeners in a trance. However, some artists just hit you with endless slippery flows and intriguing cadences. One of those names who is doing this as of late is BigXthaPlug.
He has been releasing music into the world since 2019 but has been hitting his stride over the past year or so. In 2023, Plug put out his debut album, Amar. That came out in late April, but this new EP is garnering some serious buzz. THE BIGGEST is shaping up to be the perfect reminder for fans that Plug is going to be doing bigger and bigger things going forward.
One of the reasons for that is because he was able to nab a feature from Offset. Together, their aggressive flow patterns are perfect compliments on the song “Climate.” THE BIGGEST dropped on December 1, but the music video for this track has just hit YouTube. Already, the visuals have raked in over 313,000 views in two days. That is good enough for number 21 on trending for music. Production is also a strong point here with its watery and plucky synths and banging trap percussion.
What are your initial thoughts on this new song, “Climate,” by BigXthaPlug and Offset? Is this the best track from Plug’s THE BIGGEST? Is he going to be someone who takes off even higher next year after his coming out party? If you were to compare him to more established rappers, who is he similar to? 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. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest breaking news around BigXthaPlug and Offset. Finally, always stay with us for all of the best song drops throughout the week.
Quotable Lyrics:
Went to the top and I shopped, I’m a socket (Hey) Counted me out, but I do it for Rocket (Take) I took your b**** on a jet to the tropics (Let’s go) Post on the block with the work, come and shop Hit the flame, make it rain, make the b**** come and mop it (Ha) That n**** snitched for his pic’, hit the docket (Snitch)
Gucci Mane and B.G. were able to land a rare feature from the incarcerated C-Murder for their new collaborative album, Choppers & Bricks. On the Mike WiLL Made-It-produced track, “Project Baby,” C-Murder comes in aggressive with a chorus and opening verse about living in the projects. Afterward, Gucci Mane and B.G. follow suit with verses of their own before a final chorus from C-Murder concludes the track.
Altogether Choppers & Bricks marks B.G.’s first project since getting out of prison, earlier this year. He had been behind bars for over a decade after pleading guilty to two counts of possession of a firearm and one count of conspiracy to obstruct justice in 2012. Gucci and B.G. discussed how the project came together during an interview with Rap Radar Podcast, last week.
“When he told me let’s do the tape and start sending me records, it became apparent to me soon like damn, all these songs hard,” Gucci Mane said. B.G. added: “I ain’t lying, though. There was a couple of records that I sent and he sent back that I wanted to change my verse on. I called him like, ‘Wop, man, you crushed me on this one! I think I might need to go back in.’ But I ain’t go back in and touch it though. And he’d hit me like, ‘Aw man you got off on this record!’ And I’m like aight yeah, that’s what’s up. But yeah, it was a friendly competition but I think we pushed each other to go hard and it came out to be what it is.”
While B.G. is now a free man, C-Murder remains behind bars after his latest attempt at an appeal of his conviction for the 2002 murder of 16-year-old Steve Thomas fell through. Over the years, he’s built a strong following of supporters from the outside, including Kim Kardashian. Be on the lookout for further updates on Gucci Mane and B.G. on HotNewHipHop.
Quotable Lyrics:
You heard of my set I’m from the project You know my mindset And I’m so crazy, crazy You know where I’m at Straps, we got that Ain’t gon’ never stop that I’m a project baby
Freddie Gibbs stands as a titan in his own right who has overcome Instagram bans, industry blackballs, and a pair of (alleged?) ass-whoopings that could’ve tarnished any person’s career. Yet, he continues to climb the ranks of hip-hop even after public feuds with Benny The Butcher, Akademiks, and two of his baby moms. This week, the rapper marked another career milestone during Art Basel, closing out the annual Miami-based event on stage with Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign at the Vultures rave.
His appearance felt like a culmination of the years of grinding through quality bodies of work that shone throughout the underground yet failed to penetrate through the mainstream. Going back to the late 2000s, Gibbs consistently delivered impeccable mixtapes, such as TheMiseducation Of Freddie Gibbs, that showcased his grit and lyrical agility. The underground buzz snowballed into a deal with Jeezy’s CTE that eventually crumbled into a bitter years-long feud between the two.
However, the major shift in his career occurred around 2014 when his long-awaited joint project with Madlib, Pinata, dropped. This project allowed the Gangsta Rap revivalist to position himself as one of the most versatile figures hip-hop whose chopper-like flow paired well with the smooth cadences of Raekwon and Scarface just as effortlessly as the eccentric vocal acrobatics of Young Thug and Danny Brown.

In the years since then, Gibbs refined his skillset to even more critical applause. He joined forces with The Alchemist on the Grammy-nominated Alfredo, losing to none other than Hit-Boy and Nas, who earned his first-ever Grammy that night. Then came his solo major label debut with $oul $old Separately. Gibbs had already lyrically sparred with some of the greatest MCs to ever touch a microphone throughout his career, holding his weight alongside everyone from Black Thought and Yasiin Bey to Killer Mike, Bun B, and Pusha T. However, $$$ was an exercise in commercial viability alongside streaming champs, like Moneybagg Yo and Offset, along with previous collaborators, such as Rick Ross and Anderson .Paak.
The thing with Gibbs is that he’s never necessarily had a fair shot to reach the mainstream masses in his career. Despite projects like Bandana, Alfredo, and $$$ doing well on the charts compared to other entries in his catalog, he hasn’t had a moment where he’s been able to test the depth of his lyrical capabilities alongside the success stories of his era, namely Drake, J. Cole, and Kendrick Lamar. Still, his recent appearance on Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign’s Vultures listening party indicates that Gibbs’ reign as an elite MC is far from over.
Freddie Gibbs Appears On Kanye West & Ty Dolla $ign’s “Vultures”
Debuting “Back To Me” in Miami as part of the ¥$ listening party, Gibbs delivered what sounds like could be the best verse of the album so far. In fact, the reaction by the other rappers who shared the stage with Ty Dolla $ign and Ye said as much when Gibbs rapped, “This that sh*t that make rap n***as maaaad.” Durk and Offset, for example, noticeably lost their rhythm as Gibbs rapped along to his verse on stage dressed looking like a giant construction cone (he either missed the memo about the dress code or Kanye isn’t as stringent as he was during the Donda sessions). It’s a moment of vindication for Freddie and a massive win for those who’ve followed Gibbs’ career from Pitchfork darling to a Grammy nod.
More importantly, the newfound alliance between Gibbs and Kanye feels like this could be the beginning of a fruitful relationship. Considering Pusha T’s absence from Kanye’s immediate inner circle, there’s an opening for a resident coke rapper and there’s no one better to assume that role than Gibbs. Plus, Gibbs has shown a lack of concern over cancel culture; if he could stand next to Joe Rogan post-N-word compilation, then it’s suffice to say he doesn’t have any issues linking up with Yeezy.
One could hope that “Back To Me” becomes the first of many collaborations in the future. The Gary, IN native’s ear for production has never failed and Ye remains one of the greatest producers ever, even if his lyrical abilities have faltered over time. From what’s surfaced so far, Vultures is largely lyrically fueled by Ye’s comical bars that don’t necessarily have the same charm as they once did when he rapped about getting a*shole bleach on his t-shirt. However, Gibbs seems to be injecting a much-needed dose of lyricism that would’ve otherwise lacked.
That said, Freddie Gibbs could play a significant role in Kanye’s redemption arc and that relationship could be mutually beneficial. There’s a two-part resolution for Ye to regain the good faith of the public. Firstly, he should refrain from speaking publicly, especially when he conflates hate speech with free speech. Secondly — and most importantly — he needs to deliver quality music that reaches the caliber he once set for himself. For that, he requires a return to his roots. In recent years, Ye’s best production arrived when he worked alongside Pusha T, who stepped down from his role as the G.O.O.D Music President amid Kanye’s antisemitic rants. With an artist like Gibbs who leans into the same dimension of cocaine raps as Push, Ye could very well help the Gary, IN rapper produce his magnum opus.
Could Kanye West Produce Freddie Gibbs’ Next Album?
Although the two don’t necessarily have a history together, we’ve heard how a collaboration between the two might sound like in the past. Madlib initially sent the beat for “No More Parties In LA” ft. Kendrick Lamar to Freddie. Later, Gibbs released a freestyle of his own over the beat, which later became subject to fan-made mash-ups to exceptional results. If “Body To Me” delivers in the way it did in Miami, it seems like a hopeful sign that Freddie Gibbs could add Kanye West to his repertoire of upper-echelon producers that he’s worked with. Ultimately, Freddie Gibbs could end up becoming the only rapper with the bragging rights of having full albums produced by The Alchemist, Madlib, and Ye.
KayCyy is an artist who has been making quite the name for himself over the past few years. Overall, he is an artist who is known for his incredible versatility. From his singing voice to his rapping ability, he is someone who is multi-faceted. With each of his releases, KayCyy has been able to showcase that versatility in abundance. Fans certainly got a taste of that on his latest full-length effort TW2052which is a collaborative project with producer Gesaffelstein.
Furthermore, you probably also know KayCyy from his work on Donda. He was one of the many artists who collaborated on the project with Kanye West. Throughout the album’s creation, KayCyy became an inside source of information on social media. Not to mention, he also got the hook on Keep My Spirit Alive. It was here that a lot of fans were introduced to the artist. However, KayCyy has proven that he can more than hold his own on his own work. He’s an exciting breath of fresh air and many are taking notice.
HNHH got to sit down with KayCyy where we spoke on a plethora of topics. From his latest album to his evolution as an artist, KayCyy had a lot of great insight. Moreover, KayCyy also got to touch on the Utopia situation and how it made him want to stick up for artists everywhere. It was a great conversation that you will not want to miss.
This interview has been edited for length and clarity.
HNHH: Back in May you dropped off your album TW2052 with Gesaffelstein. How did you get linked up with him in the first place?
KayCyy: It was a connection because we both had worked on Donda and happened to be on the same label. So the CEO kind of just like he put it together in a way that made sense and then when we linked up. It was a really great chemistry. So we kept it going in a way, so I still talk to him.
What was your kind of creative process for that album in terms of the vision and having it all come together?
Just kind of felt like some futuristic type vibes. That’s how I felt as I was kind of new to his style but when I found out it just felt like it was something that’s super in the future. I just tried to match that. That’s kind of why I named it 2052.
How do you feel like your voice specifically fits that futuristic tone and aesthetic?
It’s kind of like sometimes your goal is some dark sounds and I kind of feel like my voice is more like the light. It kind of just matches those dark chords in a way where it just kind of meets beautifully in the middle.
Speaking on other tracks you dropped this year, you also had “My Jeans” which is a funky, groovy, r&b track. Is that a style you are interested in doing more of and maybe even giving fans a full album of?
Yeah, I do have a whole album in that style that I’ve been working on for the past year. That is the direction that’s supposed to come. So yeah, I just can’t wait to give people more that sound. “My Jeans,” that’s just like a taste. Like the first preview of it.
You said you’ve been working on this project for about a year now. Do you find yourself working on other projects at the same time or do you kind of just focus on one thing and try to get it done?
I think I worked on two or three at the same time. I was working on this other album that didn’t go with that whole style of “My Jeans.” I’d like to make trap stuff like my song “Stay Up” and all that kind of stuff. I just wanted to give a project where it’s more focused on my melodies and stuff like that. I’m still rapping a little bit, but I’m rapping on these melodic beats that are kind of live instruments. But at the same time I’m working on something else where I feel like if I’m in a moment and I do make a song that might not fit this style of this project, I just kind of put it in this next one that I’ve been working on
When you promoted “My Jeans,” you had the album art about not being a backup singer. This was right after not getting your proper feature credit on “Thank God” off of Travis Scott’s “Utopia.” How did you feel about not getting your credit and why did you make that part of your song rollout?
I mean, I just kind of felt like what I said, saying. I felt exactly like the whole world saw. But I do have credit as a writer. It was just more so I just felt like there’s a lot of maybe favoritism that happened in a way where my name was revealed as a feature, or maybe it was just a confusion on that part. That’s all. That’s all I felt at the time and I’m really passed it. But I tied it into the cover art because it was what I truly felt, the whole I’m not a background singer thing. Just for any artist, it’s not easy for smaller artists to do that compared to bigger artists because they’ve had a moment to kind of showcase their talents on different tracks, but it’s like when you have only a few opportunities to do so and it kind of gets a place in the backdrop, It doesn’t really help your future.
Every single year since 2020, you’ve been dropping at least one project a year. How do you feel like you’ve seen yourself evolve as an artist during that time frame?
As I get older I see different things, so I feel like it all correlates for my music. So every project is kind of a different theme. I look at everything as a superhero. I’m kind of Rob. It’s like every project is a Marvel movie or something of another Avengers or another Captain America or something. Like just fitting in your character in these different scenarios. So it’s always something different.
In 2022 I got to see you at Rolling Loud and it was a great performance. Now that you have been on the festival circuit, how has it been growing as a performer and being able to connect with fans on such a large scale?
Especially after this year I grew as a performer. After Rolling Loud I did so many other things like going all over the world in different places. So it was different and going on my own tour kind of definitely shaped me as a performer and understanding what kind of performer I’m trying to be and whatI need to work on and what I’m already good at. The China tour that I just recently did was really good on that because it really just gave me more faith in what’s to come in a way. I’m saying cuz it’s like those are actually packed out shows for myself.So it was interesting to see that all over across the world.
Throughout the years and certain situations, you have gotten an outpouring of support on social media. But sometimes, social media doesn’t reflect real life. But now, you’ve gone on tour and you’ve seen that fanbase materialize in sold out shows. How has it been being able to just get that affirmation that you are on the right track?
I think it just goes what I was saying about faith. I have my discouraging moments in my career, so it’s just like when you have those reassuring moments, it really does help me and put that battery in your back.
One thing that fans remember you for is in 2021 when you were helping Kanye West with Donda. For many, you were a hub of information giving inside information on the album. It is how a lot of fans discovered you. Take me through those days and what it was kind of like being an insider while also being a creative who’s helping with writing the album, but also just somebody who’s kind of connecting with the fans and trying to give them that inside scoop on what’s happening.
I mean, I probably shouldn’t even have been doing that. But I mean at first that’s some stuff that I did get in trouble for but it was out of pure excitement and just being in that vibe. It was dope. I mean, I feel like anything happened. It’s just that whole experience was really a learning experience. Producing wise seeing new things in life. I feel like I can’t take no negative from those moments like everything that I could take from it was positive. I learned a lot.
How did working in that fast-paced, pressured environment influence how you now work in the studio?
Obviously Ye is one of the greatest if not the greatest producer that’s living. It’’s dope to see how he puts songs together and the process of it and obviously it’s like if you’re seeing somebody that’s considered a genius do that you want to pay attention and let it soak in and obviously I do take some of those techniques and use it on my own music. Alsojust collaboration is what it really showed me, working with more than just one person to get the job done..
Yeah, and that kind of leads into my next question which was who are some of the artists or producers that you’re kind of excited to work with or want to work with in the future?
I really want to work with Rosalia one day. I think she’s incredible. And I feel like the beats that she chooses are very interesting.. I can’t wait to be in the same room with her. I’m saying. People maybe Tyler, the Creator something like that. Those are people who I haven’t worked with.
For sure and just to end off. what did you feel like was your biggest achievement in 2023 and then moving from there, what’s your goal for 2024?
Being able to tour in 2023 was probably the biggest achievement.2024, just praying to put out this album and see what comes from it and hopefully get back on the road. Put out some more clothes. Something I’ve been working on and that’s it.
