Eminem Collabs With White Castle For “White Rapper” Merch

July 9, 2024 by newhiphopnews

If you tuned into the music video for “Tobey”, you might have caught that a White Castle restaurant was randomly in it for some reason. Well, it turns out that was a bit of an easter egg. According to Billboard, Eminem put out a spare, two-item merch drop on his website, shop.eminem.com, in partnership with White Castle. The two pieces include a white t-shirt and a white and black trucker hat. For the latter, it includes the logo of the longstanding burger slider chain, but instead the name is replaced with “White Rapper”. Then, on the shirt it has the same graphic in addition to “ESTABLISHED IN 1972”. Underneath that, it reads, “Buy ’em by the “Sack”.

The “1972” is Eminem’s birth year and it replaces the time in which White Castle was founded (1921). Both are in limited production and each item will ship out at different times. For the hat, it will ship out on August 16, and the shirt will go out two weeks later on August 30. The cap can be had for $30 and the tee at $35 a pop. Sizing starts at small and then goes up to double XL.

Eminem Is Embracing The “White Rapper” Label

Speaking of dropping things, Eminem will be leaving off his next studio album, The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce), this Friday, July 12. Led by “Houdini” and “Tobey”, which features Big Sean and BabyTron, the rest of the tracklist is still up in the air. It apparently made its way onto Apple Music, even revealing the additional guests. However, the names of the songs and artists have been removed. However, we can say we have the artwork, and it is pretty clever while also being on the nose. It sees his Slim Shady looking terrified as he is getting zipped up in a body bag. He might be killing off the alter ego, but Em is adopting the “white rapper” title in its place with this merch team-up.

What are your thoughts on this merchandise collaboration between Eminem and White Castle? Do you any of the pieces in this drop intrigue you? How are you feeling about his upcoming album, The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce), so far? Who do you expect to land on the record? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Eminem.

Jay Worthy & Dam-Funk Drop Summer-Ready Single “Rich Today”

July 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Last month, Jay Worthy and Dum-Funk teamed up to announce their upcoming collaborative album, Magic Hour. The eagerly anticipated project is currently slated for release on July 12, and to give listeners a taste of what’s to come, they’ve unveiled yet another single. “Rich Today,” which dropped last week, features Leven Kali and Polyester the Saint and arrives alongside a dreamy accompanying music video.

The laid-back, groovy track truly feels like an homage to the West Coast, boasting relaxed bars about cruising around in the summertime with next to nothing on your mind besides getting “rich.” This isn’t the first taste of the new album they’ve given fans as of late, however. “Rich Today” is in the same vein as a song they recently released alongside A-Trak, Ty Dolla $ign, Channel Tres, and DJ Quik late last month. The collab, “105 West,” arrived alongside a star-studded accompanying music video and is also expected to appear on Magic Hour.

They gave another nod to LA on “Westside” earlier this year, which also featured DRAM. What do you think of Jay Worthy and Dam-Funk’s new track featuring Leven Kali and Polyester the Saint? Will you be adding “Rich Today” to your summer playlist or not? Are you looking forward to the duo’s upcoming album, Magic Hour? Who else do you want to hear them collaborate with in the future? Share your thoughts in the comments section, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates. Check out the new single down below.

Jay Worthy & Dam-Funk Prepare To Unveil Magic Hour

Quotable Lyrics:

Blaring ‘Pac out the window like it’s 1996, we ain’t worried ’bout nothing we’re just tryna get rich

July 4, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Last month, Flau’jae Johnson took to Instagram to announce that she would be dropping her new album, Best Of Both Worlds. The LSU Tigers athlete has since unveiled the project, which boasts multiple high-profile features. NLE Choppa joins her on “AMF” and 2Rare on “Karma.” Lil Wayne also hopped on “Came Out A Beast.”

The energetic track, which was released a day before the LP as a single, leads with some quick bars from Flau’jae about starting from the bottom and coming out on top. The 20-year-old’s effortless flow is backed by a soulful sample and followed by a characteristically sharp verse from Weezy. She reflected on her experience working alongside the New Orleans-born performer late last month, as captured by Complex, revealing that it was nothing short of unforgettable. “Working with Lil Wayne on ‘Came Out a Beast’ was a surreal experience,” she explained when asked how it was.

“His energy and talent pushed me to new heights,” she also added. Flau’jae later took to social media to show off just how much she admires his verse, rapping the entire thing with ease in a video that quickly went viral. What do you think of Flau’jae’s new album, Best Of Both Worlds? What about her collaboration with Lil Wayne? Will you be adding “Came Out A Beast” to your playlist or not? Who else do you want to hear her collaborate with in the future? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

OsamaSon & Nettspend Join Forces For Chaotic Single “Withdrawals”

July 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

OsamaSon has already had a busy year, and luckily for fans, he doesn’t show any signs of slowing down. Last week, the Ohio-born performer teamed up with fellow underground artist Nettspend to unleash their new single, “Withdrawals.” As expected, the track sees them mesh their styles in a way that some might describe as overstimulating. Their loyal supporters, on the other hand, are sure to find the collab to be a match made in heaven.

The song sees them lament the pitfalls of drug use, realize that withdrawals are no walk in the park, and more. The dark themes are accompanied by energetic and experimental production, which feels contradictory but manages to convey the kind of chaos they’re seemingly looking to capture. It arrived alongside a similarly wild music video in which they roam around with their crew, hit up a liquor store, and eventually both land in the hospital. Check it out down below.

“Withdrawals” follows various other singles OsamaSon has unveiled so far this year, including “Moncler,” “Selena,” and more. It also follows his collaborative album with Glokk40Spaz, 3vil Reflection, which they dropped back in May. What do you think of OsamaSon’s new track with Virginia-born artist Nettspend? Do you think the two of them make a good team? Will you be adding “Withdrawals” to your playlist or not? Who do you want to see OsamaSon join forces with next? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

OsamaSon & Nettspend Star In “Withdrawals” Music Video

Quotable Lyrics:

All I think about is pour up (Deuce)

Central Cee & Ice Spice Spark Dating Rumors Online After Supposedly Riding In The UK Rapper’s Lambo: Watch

July 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Even though Central Cee and Ice Spice are from different countries, they actually share quite a bit in common. Both are major faces in the current hip-hop landscape due in part to their drill hits. Additionally, each have won similar Best New Artist awards at the BRITs and MTV show, respectively. So, why couldn’t Central Cee and Ice Spice start dating? Well, the internet is starting to believe that could be a real possibility. Several hours ago, the “Doja” hitmaker shared a short video on his Instagram Story of him cruising through what appears to be downtown London.

Cee was doing so in style as well, as he decided to take out his blue Lamborghini Urus SUV. This is not the part that is big news. Just moments later, Ice Spice posted a similar-looking blue dashboard on her Story, along with the location, London, UK. Fans were quick to make jokes surrounding this development under the repost from The Shade Room. Most of them centered around what their babies would look like. “That baby gonna be translucent”. Or, “They must be tryna have a Albino”, another user writes.

Are Central Cee & Ice Spice A Couple?!

A post shared by The Shade Room (@theshaderoom)

The fact that dating rumors are flying everywhere is not all that surprising, though. Spice and Cee have been photographed on numerous occasions, especially later last year. Additionally, when the “Think U The S*** (Fart)” rapper was rising fast through the ranks, Cee was asked by Complex about what he thinks about her. He claimed he sees a lot of the same in her, personality wise in particular. “She reminds me of me a bit, she’s cool innit. Humble, down to earth, don’t really care too much about the shiny stuff; but knows how to play the game”. There is some speculation that the two could finally be releasing a song together soon after months of teasing. Either scenario is up in the air, and we are ruling them out in the slightest.

What are your thoughts on the dating rumors between Ice Spice and Central Cee? Are you buying into it, why or why not? If not, do you think this is just to promote a potential collaboration between them? Would you like to see them be the next hip-hop couple? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Ice Spice and Central Cee.

KXNG Crooked & Joell Ortiz End Six-Project Run On A High Note With “Tapestry”

July 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Earlier this month, KXNG Crooked took to social media to announce that his new album Tapestry with Joell Ortiz would be their last. Of course, this left fans disappointed, but all the more eager to hear what the duo had to offer on their final project. “It’s the final project for me and Joell as a duo but it’s never over for our friendship and business partnerships!” he wrote. “I hope you enjoy and thank you for joining us on this 6 project journey over the past 4 years!!”

It’s now arrived, and despite the unfortunate news, fans are impressed. The project leads with an intro that sets the tone for the rest of the 14-track album with candid rhymes. They then dive into “Born,” which features a balance of boastful bars and harsh realities, much like the rest of the album. The project sees the duo lean into themes of reflecting on and growing from one’s past. They even rhyme about passing the lessons they’ve learned along the way down to their children on “Parental Advisory.”

Overall, it’s a solid effort packed with insightful bars that tell an honest story, marking a successful ending to their six-project run. What do you think of KXNG Crooked and Joell Ortiz’s sixth and final project, Tapestry? Which tracks will you be adding to your playlist? Are you disappointed that this is their last release as a duo?

Megan Thee Stallion Collabs With Amazon For Prime Day Commercial: Watch

June 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Megan Thee Stallion has a lot of stiff competition when it comes to vying for that top spot in the realm of female rap. However, you can certainly make the case that not many are above her in general right now. After kickstarting her tremendous comeback late last year with “Cobra”, the Houston native has been on a roll. Her Hot Girl Summer Tour is going extremely well, and she is now just three days away from releasing her third studio album, MEGAN. But before the latter happens, Megan Thee Stallion has another exciting collaboration to share and this time it is with Amazon. The online shopping giant is nearing the launch of its 10th annual Prime Day event.

So, to bring some extra excitement and more money for the brand, they have recruited her to promote it. For those wondering, the mega sale extravaganza will begin on July 16 and run through July 17. But the way they decided to do that is to create a commercial, which includes a catchy jingle. The latter is called “It’s Prime Day (Amazon Music Original)”, and according to Amazon, it will be released as an actual song. It will be available as a bonus track and it will only be on the (Amazon Exclusive) version of MEGAN.

All in all, this is a win-win for Megan and Amazon. Not only is the theme song a bop, but the commercial is also a winner. Throughout the two-minute advertisement, it shows the artist’s various interests and fans will be able to buy her items on her personal Prime Day picks page. They range from random items to some early deals on her Hot Girl Summer tour merch collection, which is an exclusive collaboration with Amazon Music.

What are your thoughts on Megan Thee Stallion working with Amazon for their Prime Day promotion? Is she the top female rapper in the game right now, why or why not? Is she the most marketable rapper too? Are you still pumped for her next album Megan dropping this Friday, June 28? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments.

James Fauntleroy & No ID (The 80s) Revive “The Pursuit” 13 Years Later

June 22, 2024 by newhiphopnews

James Fauntleroy and legendary producer No ID are giving fans what they want this summer. They are combining their talents on an EP, but not in the way that you think. This is not a brand-new release by any means. In fact, this tape that is out now is about 13 years old. It is called The Pursuit, and it is a production of the duo’s group known as The 80s or The Cocaine 80s. If you have not heard of this collective before, let us give you a little history lesson for some background.

James and No ID are just two of the artists responsible for bringing this idea to fruition back in the early 2010s. Chicago rap genius Common, as well as Los Angeles-bred singer Jhené Aiko, joined along for the ride. This quartet is known for the smooth and stunning R&B cuts with an alternative flare. What you are seeing in front of you is the first of four EPs, as The Pursuit began the string of EPs from 2011 to 2013. The last of them was The Flower Of Life and since then, we have not received any new music from this talented act. Hopefully, with The 80s bringing The Pursuit to streaming this weekend, maybe they will revive the other subsequent EPs. You can check out the long-awaited fan-favorite tape with the links below and relive the magic that was created all those years ago.

Listen To The Pursuit By The 80s, James Fauntleroy, & No ID

The Pursuit Tracklist:

Nameless
Summer Madness with Common
To Tell You The Truth
Get You Some
Not No More
Nothing
Anywhere But Here
Like A Fool (Birdsong)
Blue with Snoh Aalegra

Rakim, Kurupt, & Masta Killa Are Lyrical Wizards On “BE ILL”

June 21, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The God MC has made his return. Rakim, the legendary lyricist hailing from New York City, is back with “BE ILL”, along with Kurupt and Masta Killa. This brand-new single comes almost a month after a very exciting announcement from Kurupt on Instagram. “July 26th – “Rebirth” Rakim new album Produced by Tha God Mc himself…. #Rakim #MasterKilla #GOTTi MY GOD……” Yes, after 15 years, the mystical rapper is coming back with a new LP. Fans were thrilled about the stunning development and now we are just 30 days and change away from it.

On “BE ILL”, Rakim, Kurupt, and Masta Killa are dishing out bars on top of bars, as well as intricate rhymes. The beat is also stellar, with the drum patterns being the standout feature. It is head-nodding bop as each vet brings their A game. According to Pitchfork, Gods Network (REB7RTH) will indeed be just seven tracks, leaving no room for error. But if there is any rapper that can make a project as concise as this, Rakim is the man for the job. Features will be plentiful and exciting ones at that, as Method Man, Nipsey Hussle, Snoop Dogg, 38 Spesh, B.G., and more will appear. As we mentioned, this fourth solo album is a decade and a half in the making and will follow up on The Seventh Seal.

Listen To “BE ILL” By Rakim, Kurupt, & Masta Killa

Quotable Lyrics:

Lab hitter, progress, the God’s magnificent
Patterns differ, context, my compositions hit, fathom quicker
Conquest, a conscious lyricist, atom splitter
Complex, it’s quantum physics
Since they put my melody on a cleverly poem
My celebrities still legacy, and jeopardy long
