Mustard Unveils Album Trailer For Forthcoming LP “Faith Of A Mustard Seed”: Watch

by

Mustard has been pretty silent over the last couple of years. The last time we heard from him musically speaking was in 2022, when he made some beats for Vince Staples, Ty Dolla $ign and Lil Durk, as well as Quavo and Takeoff. In terms of albums, the California-born beat maker has not added anything since 2019’s Perfect Ten. That third LP boasted mega hits such as “Ballin’” with Roddy Ricch, “Pure Water” with the Migos, and “Baguettes in the Face” featuring NAV, Playboi Carti, and A Boogie Wit da Hoodie. However, things are going to be a whole different in 2024 for Mustard, as he will be dropping Faith Of A Mustard Seed very soon.

This news is hot off the presses, as an accompanying trailer has only been out for about an hour. According to HipHopNMore, the title was inspired by the Bible verse from Matthew 17:20. It essentially means that no matter how small an act of kindness you do for someone, the impacts can still be massive. This fourth studio album is obviously coming right off the heels of his explosive team-up with Kendrick Lamar. “Not Like Us” has become one of the biggest songs of the year overall for many reasons.

Mustard Is Reestablishing Himself With New Album

The number one song was the nail in the coffin in viral battle between Dot and Drake. It also features a killer and instantly memorable instrumental. There is a good chance this song never reaches the top of the charts without the accessible beat. Furthermore, it is also the song of the West Coast and possibly the summer with its incredible number of quotables. In the trailer above, many past collaborators and potential guests are peppered throughout. Travis Scott, Quavo, A Boogie, Lil Durk, Don Toliver, and more all appear.

What are your thoughts on the album trailer for Faith Of A Mustard Seed by Mustard? Will this be a top-tier producer album of 2024, why or why not? Do you think “Not Like Us” will land on the project? Who would you want to see on the album? Could you see the cameos making appearances? What aspect of the song did you enjoy the most? Is he the best new rapper out of Milwaukee? Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Mustard.

Future & Metro Boomin “We Still Don’t Trust You”: What We Know

by

After unleashing their collaborative album just three weeks ago, Future and Metro Boomin are back with more music. We Don’t Trust You arrived on March 22, marking the duo’s first full-length album after a decade of prolific collaborations. The album was favorably receieved and shook the hip hop universe with Kendrick Lamar’s guest verse on “Like That.” Future and Metro Boomin began promoting the album just a month ago, announcing two separate release dates. 

We Don’t Trust You has already made a sizable impact on hip hop, debuting at number one on the Billboard 200. Even with the album’s immediate success, Future and Metro Boomin are gearing up to release a follow-up, We Still Don’t Trust You this coming Friday, April 12. “Job’s not finished,” Metro tweeted, teasing fans about the upcoming release. The last time Future dropped consecutive albums was in 2017 when FUTURE and HNDRXX arrived one week apart. As we continue to digest We Don’t Trust You and anticipate its sequel, here is what we know so far about We Still Don’t Trust You.

An Entirely New Album From Future and Metro Boomin

While it has only been three weeks since We Don’t Trust You, Future and Metro Boomin are striking while the iron is still hot. Some speculated that the April 12 release was a deluxe version of its predecessor. However, Metro Boomin confirmed it to be an entirely new album. “This is not a deluxe. This is a completely separate body of work,” the producer clarified. In another tweet, he continued to promote his and Future’s upcoming release. “The brand new album from Metro Pluto,” the tweet reads. Much like its precursor, We Still Don’t Trust You will be released via Epic, Republic, Future’s Freebandz, and Metro’s Boominati Worldwide labels. We can expect brand new material from Future and Metro Boomin on Friday as they continue their creative hot streak.

The Trailer for We Still Don’t Trust You

Future and Metro Boomin built further anticipation for We Still Don’t Trust You by sharing the album’s trailer. “Job’s not finished,” Metro captioned the video, hinting that the pair will continue to build on their collaborative chemistry. The trailer sees Future and Metro donning white suits. Metro also wears a white baseball cap while Future covers his face with a white mask and sunglasses. The cryptic video cuts between shots of the duo in both black and white suits. Visually, the white attire contrasts the fashion seen on their previous album cover.

The Official Album Artwork

Earlier today, Future and Metro Boomin revealed the official album artwork for We Still Don’t Trust You. The black and white cover features four panels, with two of the rapper and the other two of the producer. Consistent with the theme of its trailer, the album cover suggests a distinction between Future and Metro in white outfits versus black suits. The suits can be associated with the We Don’t Trust You artwork while their blurry white outfits mysteriously hint at what is yet to come. The duality between white and black in the trailer and on this cover may suggest a difference in aesthetic or indicate a potentially new artistic direction of the album. If that is indeed the case, then it is possible that We Still Don’t Trust You could be the HNDRXX to We Don’t Trust You’s FUTURE.

Potential Tracks

Neither Future nor Metro Boomin have shared a tracklist for We Still Don’t Trust You. Currently, its titles, length, and runtime are still unknown. Fans did get a sneak peak at the tracklist last week in a recently shared photo from Metro Boomin. Pictured off to the side is a portion of the album’s tracklist, with the top reading We Still Don’t Trust You. Potential track names include “Bounce,” “This Sunday,” “Beat It,” and “Out of My Hands.” So far, no guest features have revealed their involvement in the album. It is important to note that the features on We Don’t Trust You were initially uncredited, so the inclusion of other artists may come as a surprise on first listen. The Weeknd, Travis Scott, Playboi Carti, Kendrick Lamar, and Rick Ross each contributed vocals to the album, adding extra excitement to the listening experience.

Ultimately, we will find out about any potential guests when the album drops on Friday. So far, this is all we know for now about Future and Metro Boomin’s upcoming album. Be sure to check back in with HotNewHipHop for the latest updates regarding We Still Don’t Trust You.

Machine Gun Kelly & Trippie Redd Announce Collab Tape, Haters Anticipate “Worst Project Of The Year”

by

Machine Gun Kelly is an artist who has delved into numerous genres throughout his career. Overall, he started out making hip-hop music. However, he eventually transitioned over to the world of pop punk. While some of his fans have enjoyed this, the general public hasn’t been too generous to his new musical stylings. That said, he appears to be interested in a rekindling of sorts when it comes to rap. He has dropped some freestyles here and there, and now, he is gearing up to drop a collaborative tape with Trippie Redd.

This collab album is called Genre: Sadboy and it will be coming out on Friday, March 29th. This is one of those collaborative projects that no one really expected. After all, we don’t see these two hanging out a whole lot. On the flip side of this, Trippie Redd is someone who has experimented with other genres in the past, so maybe it does make sense that they would link up. Unfortunately for these two, some fans on social media are already anticipating a disaster of an album.

In the tweets below, you can see just how much disdain some hip-hop fans have for this idea. Very few people are anticipating a dope album, and the voices were pretty loud about all of this. However, that doesn’t mean the album will be bad. The internet likes to pile on when they don’t like someone. Unfortunately, Machine Gun Kelly is someone who has a bad wrap with the average hip-hop fan right now. Meanwhile, some feel as though Trippie Redd has fallen off. That said, this is the perfect opportunity for both artists to change the narrative surrounding themselves.

Haters React

Let us know what you think of this upcoming collab, in the comments section down below. Are you excited for these to link up? Do you really think the album is going to be that bad?

Well, fans are finally getting their wish as tomorrow, the pair will be dropping We Don’t Trust You. Furthermore, on April 12th, they will be following that up with another collab album. It is believed that the second tape is going to be more r&b-focused, kind of like Future’s 2017 album HNDRXX. Although this is something that has yet to be confirmed.

Prior to the release of this album, we have already gotten some teasers here and there. For instance, we have gotten some snippets for the track “Type Sh*t” which will feature the likes of Playboi Carti and Travis Scott. A song called “Cinderella” with Scott may also end up on the project. However, all of this is up in the air at this point. The tracklist has yet to be released, and the fans are anticipating with all of their might. That said, the two dropped off a mysterious album trailer last night, and you can check it out below.

Instead, it is being used as a way of teasing fans with the project they have been waiting so long for. Hopefully, it is able to live up to the expectations. As it stands, fans are expecting nothing less than an album-of-the-year contender. Knowing Metro’s track record, it’s likely to meet the hype.

by

Lil Durk says he wants to do a collaborative album with Morgan Wallen. He made the proclamation while speaking with Entertainment Tonight at the 2024 Grammys. In doing so, he suggested the two will be back together at the ceremony again next year. They previously worked together on the songs “Broadway Girls” and “Stand By Me.”

“It’s gonna be a collab album soon,” Durk said. “So that means I’ll see you again next year.” Durk also previously came to Wallen’s defense in 2021 when video of the singer using a racial slur went viral.

“Nah, he ain’t no racist,” Lil Durk said of Wallen during an interview with TMZ. “That’s my boy. Also, we had a long talk. He had his public situation. We had it behind closed doors. I vouch for him and he’s good. He ain’t canceled. I talked to him. When I say you ain’t canceled, you ain’t canceled.” Durk also remarked that Morgan opened his “mind to a different view of life” while speaking with the Los Angeles Times in 2023. “I went and talked to him to see what was up with [the video],” he told the outlet. “When I hung out with him, it was totally the opposite. He was nowhere near racist. That’s my dawg. I took my own risk to show the world that he isn’t that.”

Durk included “Stand By Me” with Morgan Wallen on his 2023 album, Almost Healed. Revisit the song above and be on the lookout for further updates on Lil Durk on HotNewHipHop.

Lil Durk promised a busy year for his fans a little after he dropped his studio album, Almost Healed. He has certainly delivered on that by going on a feature run and now he is back with another full project. Last week, the Chicago rapper put out his single, “Smurk Carter.” It was a clear nod to one of the greats, Lil Wayne.

The OTF group is here to accompany their leader for some gnarly and head-knocking tracks. Almost all of the gang is here to bring all the energy they can.

Offset, 21 Savage & Metro Boomin’s “Without Warning”: An Homage To Horrorcore

by

Horrorcore rap is considered a niche but as a subgenre, it’s left an indelible impact on hip-hop with some of the biggest stars often paying homage to its pioneers. Hardcore fans of horrorcore are typically ecstatic by these tributes, even if they’re subtle. But besides the horror-inspired Three 6 Mafia, Eminem, and a handful of others, the terrifying themes of the occult, satanism, and death aren’t common in mainstream hip-hop. That was why the album, Without Warning, felt like a breath of fresh air. 

The album was a collaborative effort between rappers Offset and 21 Savage, and producer Metro Boomin. On Without Warning, the trio pay their respects to the niche genre and do so without making a mockery of it. In the years since it was released, the album has aged quite well. Nowadays, it is largely considered a modern-day classic that emphasizes the sounds, textures, and themes that make horrorcore such a riveting subgenre.

An Unexpected Halloween Treat

Without Warning was released on October 31, 2017. The album is aptly titled, as it was announced barely an hour before it arrived. This came after a full day of teasers on the artists’ Instagram stories. Later that night, Epic Records shared the cover art of the project, while also announcing its three collaborators. This surprise release strategy evidently generated immense excitement and curiosity among fans of the artists. Moreover, releasing Without Warning on Halloween was a strategic move, capitalizing on the holiday spirit. It added a thematic element that was very much in line with the album itself.

The Horror-Inspired Themes on Without Warning

On the whole, Without Warning is a trap album. The collaboration aimed to merge Offset and 21 Savage’s distinct styles with Metro Boomin’s signature trap-infused production. However, upon closer inspection, there’s much more to the album than just trap. Without Warning is characterized by its dark, atmospheric production, and haunting beats typically characteristic of horrorcore rap. Metro Boomin set the moody and often eerie tone from its very first track, “Ghostface Killers.” 

The production also features heavy basslines, brooding melodies, and punchy rhythms. These instrumentals provided a perfect backdrop for the gritty lyrics and delivery of Offset and 21 Savage. Lyrically, Without Warning delves into themes such as street life, wealth, fame, and the struggles of coming from difficult circumstances. Offset and 21 Savage’s verses are often raw and unapologetic, reflecting their personal experiences. 

However, the lyrics never go quite as violent or macabre as those from death rap artists like Tech N9ne or Brotha Lynch Hung. Nonetheless, the horrorcore influences are evident, especially on tracks like “Nightmare.” In summary, Without Warning is more notable for the undertones of horrorcore infused in its beats and lyrics. The album excellently executes this, paying homage to the genre, while never fully diving into its waters.

A Spooky Success Beyond Halloween

Without Warning received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised its cohesive sound, sharp lyricism, and production. The surprise release strategy generated significant buzz, adding to the album’s impact. Subsequently, it debuted and peaked at number four on the Billboard 200 chart. Of the ten songs on Without Warning, six songs charted on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, with “Ric Flair Drip” being the most successful. It was released as the sole single from the album and peaked at number 13 on the chart. 

The album’s become synonymous with Halloween due to both its grim sound and the release date. However, it has impacted the music scene far beyond Halloween 2017. It continues to receive significant stream numbers even six years after its release. It is widely considered to be a successful collaborative project that effectively highlighted the talents of the musical trio. With Halloween 2023 just around the corner, Hip Hop fans are sure to return to this horror-inspired album.

Memphis Bleek Says JAY-Z Isn’t Interested In Doing A Collaborative Album

by

Memphis Bleek says that he is still trying to convince JAY-Z to team up for a collaborative album, but he doesn’t think it will happen. He discussed the possibility during a recent interview with TMZ.

“I’m on that boat too. I wish!” he told the outlet when asked about the idea. From there, he admitted that he still doesn’t think it will happen. “I don’t think so. Hov too far gone, man! I was supposed to try this when he had $100 million, not a billion. When you got a billion, it’s hard to get you in the booth. Only his wife can do it.”

Despite the odds being unlikely, Bleak is still holding out hope that his persistence will pay off. “Hold it ’cause I’m trying. I still send him joints, I get shot down like a clay pigeon,” he joked. “But something gon’ stick one day, ya know? But if we could drop an EP together, that would be — c’mon, that would close off the whole trilogy of the ‘Coming of Age’ story. [Fans] need something classic.” Check out the interview below.

Memphis Bleak Discusses Working With JAY-Z

The pair grew up in Brooklyn’s Marcy Projects and first worked together on JAY-Z’s Reasonable Doubt song, “Coming of Age.” JAY-Z previously reflected on his friendship with Memphis Bleek in his 2010 book Decoded. “I collared him and said, ‘Look, I’m making an album and you can be on it, but you have to learn this song in 24 hours. You don’t learn it, then you’re not on it,’” Jay recalled. “He took the paper I handed him and looked it over. I’d written the verse down for him in some chicken scratch… He came to my apartment the next day and spit the whole thing like he’d been doing it his whole life.”

Boldy James & Cuns Unleash Collaborative Album, “Be That As It May”

by

Griselda’s Detroit representative has established himself as one of the greatest lyricists working today with four excellent albums this year. Boldy James has just dropped his fourth collab of the year, Be That As It May with Cuns. Moreover, the Italian producer takes a lush and boom-bap-heavy approach to matching Boldy’s lyricism. In fact, the previous single “Foot Prints,” with its grand samples and hard-hitting percussion, was a great sonic indicator of the greatness to come.

SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA – FEBRUARY 01: Boldy James of The Alchemist x Boldy James performs during the NBA Leather tour at The Warfield on February 01, 2022 in San Francisco, California. (Photo by Tim Mosenfelder/Getty Images)

Still, this album does have its surprises. Cuns’ production is a bit more crisp, orchestral, and rooted in ’90s era hip-hop when it comes to sample choices and sequencing. While albums like Mr. Ten08 took things in an electronic or contemporary direction on occasion, the production here is rooted in soulful styles. If anything, it goes to show the 40-year-old MC’s consistent versatility, appeal, and quality.

Moreover, Bo’s been on a hot streak. Over the past twelve months, he released Super Tecmo Bo with The Alchemist, Killing Nothing with Real Bad Man, Fair Exchange No Robbery with Nicholas Craven, and Mr. Ten08 with Futurewave. In fact, he dropped Be That As It May almost exactly a year after his 2021 Alchemist collab. What’s more is that they’re all excellent.

Across this album in particular, Boldy is both a fantastic narrator for life experiences and a consistently confident spitter. His descriptions are intricate, his wordplay is creative yet grounded, and his delivery is so engaging that you won’t notice a flow switch-up. In other words, it’s smooth as butter, and the grueling themes in “Earned Not Given” and “God Speed” come through vividly. It’s all made for some of the best albums of the year.

What did you think of this album and the Detroit MC’s run this year? Do you have a favorite? Are you looking forward to that J Dilla-produced project? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments. If you have to catch up, peep the tracklist below and find Be That As It May by Boldy James and Cuns on your preferred streaming service.
