J Cole & Tee Grizzley Link Up To Film Music Video In NYC

It goes without saying that it’s been a busy year for J Cole. After catching strays on Kendrick Lamar’s verse on Future and Metro Boomin’s “Like That,” he unleashed his fourth mixtape in April, Might Delete Later. The project arrived complete with a scathing response, “7 Minute Drill.” Shortly after unveiling it, however, J Cole backtracked and removed the song from all streaming services. He also issued a formal apology to Kendrick onstage at his Dreamville fest. This was a controversial move until the Compton MC went nuclear on Drake amid their lyrical battle.

Shortly after that debacle blew over, he joined forces with Cash Cobain for “Grippy.” His feature was far from well-received, however, and he was immediately ripped to shreds for what listeners called “cringe” bars. He managed to redeem himself with his fan-favorite appearance on “Free Fall” from Tems’ new album, and now, he’s gearing up to unveil yet another high-profile collab.

J Cole & Tee Grizzley Have New Music On The Way

Earlier this week, the North Carolina-born performer was spotted filming what appears to be a new music video alongside Tee Grizzley. In a clip from the exciting moment, the two artists are seen spitting in the streets of NYC. The video is expected to accompany a new track they have on the way, which does not yet have an official name. It doesn’t have a release date either. The fact that they’re already working on a video, however, indicates that it should arrive sooner rather than later.

What do you think of J Cole linking up with Tee Grizzley to film an upcoming music video in New York City? Are you surprised or not? Are you looking forward to seeing it? Who do you want to see J Cole collaborate with next? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Pusha T & No Malice Premiere Clipse Track With John Legend During Louis Vuitton Show

Pusha T and No Malice premiered a new unreleased song with John Legend during a fashion show for Louis Vuitton in Paris on Tuesday. It features an orchestral string section as well as a beautifully sung hook from Legend. It’s the second time the two have premiered unreleased music at the brand’s shows since Pharrell took over as creative director.

When the NFR Podcast shared the track on X (formerly Twitter), fans were stoked to hear new music from the duo. “This slap!! And LV got some [fire emoji] outfits here,” one user wrote. Another added: “Clipse reunion has finally happened!” Others theorized that a new Clipse album may be dropping this year, which is something Pusha has confirmed is possible.

Push previously discussed the possibility of a new Clipse project after debuting an unreleased track at last year’s Louis Vuitton show. “I really would hope so,” Push told PEOPLE. “I really would love to, man, I really would love to. At this point I feel like we’ve been in a space a lot together lately, and in those spaces the creativity’s just been flowing. So that’s where you get songs like you heard at the [Louis Vuitton] fashion show. Really what we’ve been doing a lot of it is just contributing with our friends. Like, ‘OK, Pharrell’s a creative director of LV, he needs music for the show.’ How would we not show up for that? How would me and my brother not show up for a Nigo album? I think the creativity between us and just the collective of the family that everybody knows where this started from, is something that you can’t just stop.”

LL Cool J & Eminem Newest Leak Victims As Potential Album Cut Loses Hype Amongst Fans

LL Cool J and Eminem are both making major comebacks to hip-hop very soon, as both have impending albums on the way. For the former MC hailing from New York, his return has been 11 years in the making. THE FORCE, which is slated for a fall release according to HipHopNMore, is already shaping up to be a massive moment for the genre and longtime fans of the hitmaker. LL put out the lead single this past Friday (June 14), “Saturday Night Special”, which features Rick Ross and Fat Joe. Then, there is Eminem. The Detroit icon started his album rollout for The Death of Slim Shady already by releasing the controversial track “Houdini”.

With two mainstays looking to reaffirm their positions in hip-hop lore already being big news, there could not be anything that could top that right? Well, think again, as rumors are swirling around X circles that LL Cool J and Eminem have a collaboration potentially in the works for the first time ever. The track is called “Murdergram” and there is a strong belief that it could land on THE FORCE. However, there is some good news and some bad news.

Listen To “Murdergram” Leak By LL Cool J & Eminem At Your Own Risk

Let us start with the negative’s first. The song is already losing hype amongst the fans, as the song was leaked to X in full yesterday, potentially ruining the chance that it officially drops. Furthermore, the people that did check out the leak felt that Emimen put in a forgettable performance. Now for the positives. Social media users who decided to not play the unreleased version can feel even better about it, as at the time of writing, the leak was hit with a copyright strike. This could mean that Cool J or Eminem’s team came across and did not want to spoil the anticipation any further. Overall, it is an odd situation, but the leak community is still a huge problem, especially this year.

What are your thoughts on this LL Cool J and Eminem leak “Murdergram”? Do you have an issue with the leak culture, why or why not? Are you going to listen to it or wait until Cool J’s album drops later this year? If you did listen to it, who do you think performed better on the track? 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 LL Cool J and Eminem. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

Wiki & Tony Seltzer Are Taking W’s & “No L’s” On New Single

Wiki and Tony Seltzer were two heroes in the world of hip-hop last year. Both were at the forefront of some of the strongest releases in what was seen as a down year for the genre. Their distinctive sounds coming out of the New York underground scene brought us some refreshing listens. For the Harlem rapper, Wiki was on two standout tapes, the first of them being Faith Is A Rock alongside MIKE and The Alchemist. Then, just about a month and a half later, the veteran MC came back with even more consistency on 14K Figaro. That time Tony was in the mix, producing some great alternative hip-hop. Now, the dynamic duo of Wiki and Tony Seltzer is back with “No L’s”.

For the former, this is their first release of the year, whereas for the latter, he is keeping his momentum going. Tony has also built up quite the rapport with the aforementioned MIKE and it was furthered on Pinball back in March. On “No L’s”, Wiki is rapping with good pace and command over what turns into a trap instrumental 30 seconds later. If you need a confidence boost, then this is the track for you.

Quotable Lyrics:

Most of the time I’m so chill, a jokester
But lose my composure you won’t tell, so
Slow down part- hold that thought
Let me break down the program to your whole court, by the stairs, by the courts over there, don’t dwell
If you don’t know me don’t yell
Hat down, covers the head

French Montana Is Already Back Action With Skilla Baby-Assisted Banger “Skyami”

French Montana has always been someone who drops at a frequent rate. In 2024, the Moroccan rapper is proving that to be case again. So far, the veteran hitmaker has been all over the place in terms of features. In the first half of the year, we have seen him collaborate with Rick Ross and Meek Mill, Lola Brooke, Diddy, 21 Savage, and The Weekend, as well as Stunna Girl. Then, when you look at his solo catalog, he has singles out the ying-yang. From Swae Lee to Kodak Black, Lil Baby and ATL Jacob, he has been in the studio with everyone. The latter two were just a small portion of the guests on the fifth Mac & Cheese mixtape, which dropped in late February. Now, French Montana is back at it with “Skyami”, a single with first-time teammate, Skilla Baby.

Like French, the Detroit native has also been seen with a massive collection of talent. It has really been a coming out party for the rising star from the Midwest. On “Skyami”, both artists are celebrating their wins. Whether it be endless stacks of money, the women, or bossing up on the haters, they are unapologetically living their best lives. You can check out the Montana single, which he also co-produced, with the link below or on streaming services.

Ovrkast. Links With Cardo For Explosive Trap Record “PAYMEAGRIP”

Ovrkast. is one of the talented names in hip-hop who is continuing to climb higher and higher. The Oakland, California is the definition of a multi-talent, as he can rap and produce at a high level. A lot of people began to hear about him late last year due to some beat credits on one of 2023’s biggest hip-hop records. That was Drake’s For All The Dogs, specifically on the Scary Hours Edition. He had done some incredible things for Drizzy on tracks like “The Shoe Fits”, as well as “Red Button”. While this is definitely his career-altering moment so far, he came up crafting beats for rappers like Earl Sweatshirt and MAVI. Additionally, he has an ever-evolving solo catalog that is still very small. He does have one album to his credit, Try Again (2020), as well as a deluxe of it that dropped in 2021. Now, it seems that Ovrkast. is getting more and more eager to drop, as he has just left off “PAYMEAGRIP”.

This is his second solo release of 2024, with the first dropping all the way back in January. It was a YouTube exclusive song called “January”, featuring Navy Blue. Additionally, Ovrkast. teamed up with MESSIAH! and his close friend MAVI, for the storytelling single, “silent heel”. “PAYMEAGRIP” is definitely a change of pace from both, as this more of pop/trap rap record. Fans can thank Cardo, aka Cardo Got Wingz, for that. The lauded producer lays down a crisp and snappy beat for Ovrkast. to rap over. You can check out the song for yourself below, and if you are inclined, leave your takes on it in the comments section.

Nick Cannon Has Testicles Insured For $10M, Secures “Most Valuable Balls” Title

It’s no secret that Nick Cannon is something of a baby-making machine, and according to Dr. Squatch, this means that his reproductive organs are worth big bucks. Recently, the father of 12 teamed up with the personal care company to get his private parts evaluated using their “Ball Valuation” tool. His testicles were assessed at a whopping $10M, something the Wild ‘N Out host can certainly be proud of.

Moreover, the company even officially took out a policy on his genitals through MMA/Momentous Insurance, proving just how far they’re willing to go to make sure that his most precious assets stay protected. In a statement about the impressive assessment, Cannon fired back at those who’ve criticized him for having so many kids in the past. He also confirmed that he has no plans of slowing down any time soon.

Nick Cannon Celebrates His Valuable Assets

“Haters say it’s time for me to stop having kids and put this super sperm to rest,” he began proudly. “But I’m doubling down on these valuable balls and my future kids. Shoutout to Dr. Squatch for giving my balls the credit they deserve and hooking me up with the protection I need to keep this family tree rolling!” This isn’t the first time Cannon’s hinted at adding even more little ones to his family tree either. Back in March, the prolific entertainer made a bold joke about reproducing with Joseline Hernandez during a TV appearance. Unsurprisingly, however, it left their audience split.

What do you think of Nick Cannon teaming up with Dr. Squatch and testing out the company’s “Ball Valuation” tool? What about his testicles being assessed at a whopping $10M? Are you surprised, or does that seem about right? Do you think he should have a 13th child? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.
