NBA YoungBoy Announces New Album, “Compliments Of Gravedigger Mountain”

March 4, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Prolific Baton Rouge, Louisiana rapper NBA YoungBoy, is going to be living up to that title very soon. The 24-year-old MC has one of the largest catalogs, which is ultra impressive for his age, and he is about to be adding to it on March 8 with Compliments Of Gravedigger Mountain. That is going to the be name of NBA YoungBoy’s new album, one that was bound to happen at any moment. The dude has been releasing single after single on YouTube mainly for the last month or two.

In just the past two years YB will have put out 13 overall projects! His relentless desire to put out new music is something that most people are kind of sick of. However, you have to respect him for working as much as he does. Even if it leads to some mediocre songs in the process. The raspy spitter announced the release date and album cover on his Instagram just hours ago.

“3/8,” he captioned it simply. Fans are already making jokes about how long this record will be. If you are not familiar with YB’s style, he loves to put at least 20 songs on each release. One fan even theorizes that since he is dropping on 03/08, it signifies that 38 songs will make it onto the record. Speaking of which, Genius has a page up with the rumored tracklist so far. Seven songs are currently projected to be on the tape with cuts like “Bnyx Da Reaper,” “Run,” “No Time,” and etc.

Kanye West’s “Carnival” Gets Intense Cover Art

February 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kanye West has unveiled the intense cover art for “Carnival”, one of the standout tracks from the recently released Vultures 1. Designed by noted Canadian artist Jon Rafman, the cover art for “Carnival” depicts a close-up of a screaming and bloodied skinhead. Rafman also created the AI-generated music video for Vultures (Havoc Version) that was released alongside the album.

“Carnival” features Playboi Carti and Rich the Kid. As mentioned, it is widely considered one of the best tracks on Vultures 1. Many people have already called it the best song of 2024. However, the song proved controversial even before it was released. A version heard at a listening party in Chicago earned the ire of Ozzy Osbourne due to an uncleared sample of Black Sabbath. A later version at a Long Island listening party used a sample of Kanye’s “Hell of a life”, which interpolates the same Black Sabbath song.

Kanye West Drops New Vultures 1 Cover But Fans Still Have Issues

Meanwhile, late last Saturday, Kanye dropped a new version of the cover art for his album, Vultures 1. The Jason Vorhees-esque hockey mask won by a figure on the album cover has been changed from white to black. However, the change was not the one that more modest fans were hoping for. Many fans still had issues with the scantily clad Bianca Censori who also appears on the cover. “How am I supposed to play this in my car and my mom sees this album cover,” one fan asked. “Wasn’t he complaining about his baby momma being too sexual to raise his kids,” noted another. “Salam brother Kanye, can we please get a Halal version of the cover. Thank you,” requested a third.

The week before the album dropped, Kanye posted an image to his Instagram story of himself and Censori showing off their respective phone backgrounds. West’s was a picture of Censori wearing a leather bikini. Meanwhile, Censori’s was a picture of someone dressed as Jason Vorhees. While Censori appears to be topless on the cover of Vultures 1, it is now relatively evident that the innocuous photo was a backdoor teaser for the cover art.

Kanye West Drops New “Vultures 1” Cover But Fans Still Have Issues

Iconic Jason Vorhees Actor Co-Signs Kanye Mask Use

Meanwhile, the original image of Kanye in the iconic white Jason Vorhees mask has been co-signed by Kane Hodder, who played Vorhees in four of the Friday The 13th films. “I was watching a bunch of the videos and I love it. Kanye, you gotta let me get you a better mask though. That’s kind of a cheesy one. I could get you a nice one and if you would just, during your performance, give the eyes a little bit. That’s what gets people when you’re wearing the mask. Do the big eyes,” Hodder told TMZ. Furthermore, Hodder said he’d be happy to send Kanye a film-worn variant from his own collection.

Hodder is one of the most beloved Jason actors, despite appearing as Jason in some of the franchise’s more infamous entries. He first played Jason in Friday the 13th VII: The New Blood and would reprise the role for the next three entries in the series. This includes the infamous Jason Takes Manhattan as well as Jason X, the one set in space 200 years in the future. Kanye is yet to publicly respond to Hodder’s offer of a new mask.

Cover Art For Kanye West’s “Vultures 1” Memed By Fans

February 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

In the hours after Kanye West released Vultures 1, fans have begun to create meme versions of the cover art. The album cover art shows a scantily clad woman, presumably Bianca Censori, standing with her back to the camera and facing a man dressed like Jason Vorhees, presumably Kanye. The art was actually teased earlier this month by an innocuous Instagram post of Kanye and Censori showing off their phone backgrounds.

Some fans made the artwork more modest, giving Censori a bra and skirt. Others changed the image of Kanye to a stock PNG of Jason Vorhees. The meme versions came thick and fast, especially as the album was briefly removed from Apple Music for 20 minutes. Have you seen any of the cover memes? Do you have a favorite? Let us know in the comments.

French Montana Unveils “Mac & Cheese 5” Cover Art

December 30, 2023 by newhiphopnews

French Montana took inspiration from his home country of Morocco for the recently-unveiled Mac & Cheese 5 album cover. Moreover, the mixtape– which will end the Mac & Cheese series that defined much of his rise and his career– is set to release on January 5. One week before this on Friday (December 29), the South Bronx rapper took to social media to share this new cover along with WORLDSTAR, and fans seem pretty excited for the effort. However, others expressed concern for the image’s presumed reference to satanic one-eye imagery or the Illuminati, which is definitely reading way too deeply into it.

What’s more is that French Montana is really balling out a lot these days in the lead-up to this new project’s release, as he wants to get into a celebratory mood. For example, he recently showed off his pricey and stylish fit at a recent NBA game between the Milwaukee Bucks and the Brooklyn Nets. Many fans noticed the “No Stylist” MC’s Louis Vuitton Air Force 1s, which he said in the video in question that they cost him $200K. That’s a ridiculous bag for some shoes, but when you’re as successful as he is, you can afford the indulgences every once in a while.

In addition to the standard flexing, French Montana is also reflecting on the most definitive parts of his career that he wants to continue to represent. During a recent appearance on Fame & Flavor with food influencer Cugine, the culinary star asked him what the “Coke” in “Coke Boys” stands for. According to the 39-year-old, the title and label name (which was previously named Cocaine City Records) actually stands for “Creation Of Kings Everywhere.” That’s a worthwhile pursuit to champion, albeit a cheeky dodge of the more obvious interpretation.

Meanwhile, what do you think about this Mac & Cheese 5 cover and whether or not there are any occult references here? Also, what did you think of his Lil Baby-assisted single “Okay” to kick off the lead-up to it? However you may feel, let us know in the comments section down below.

Other songs to make the cut include “New Body,” with Nicki Minaj. Be on the lookout for further updates on Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign’s Vultures on HotNewHipHop.

Offset is building excitement among fans! He’s gearing up for the arrival of his upcoming album, Set It Off, slated for release in October. The rapper has been offering glimpses of what’s in store, building up anticipation with his increased activity on social media. While the album’s official cover artwork was shared last week, Offset is still sharing visuals and imagery that pertain to the upcoming album. His most recent image featured a photo of Offset in another Michael Jackson-inspired ensemble, a red military jacket with black pants and a black glove.

Captured within the intriguing album artwork, Offset takes center stage amidst three chairs, with mysterious symbolism surrounding him. To his left, an anonymous figure is engulfed in flames. Meanwhile to his right, an intense spray of water is gushing at another unidentifiable person’s head. Within the comments section, fans engage in speculation and try to decipher the profound meaning underlying Offset’s artwork. They also shower Offset with accolades for his distinctive and original artistic vision, recognizing his ability to provoke thought and spark discussion. “1 of the best covers I’ve seen in a while,” one user wrote. “This deep. shit fire tho pay attention to detail,” another wrote. Someone else speculated, “Is that suppose to be Takeoff burning wtf!”

In recent weeks, Offset has been strategically teasing the project in other ways. He’s amping up the momentum as he interacts more frequently with his followers. His recent viral appearance on Kai Cenat‘s stream showcased the rapper in high spirits, dancing and creating a vibrant atmosphere. It seemed like high-energy, good vibes all weekend. Offset himself acknowledged the moment and let his audience know how much fun he had. Sharing on social media, he wrote, “I had the most fun in a very long time this weekend.”

In line with his promotional efforts, Offset has previously unveiled a series of visually striking cover art images, many of them drawing inspiration from the iconic Michael Jackson. The album’s cover art, shared last week, portrays another captivating scene. The artwork features an inverted image of buildings consumed by flames, seemingly with Offset descending from the sky. In a sleek all-black ensemble and sporting a single white glove, the imagery pays homage to the legendary Michael Jackson, a recurring source of inspiration for Offset, as he has noted in numerous interviews. With these teasers, Offset has set the stage for a highly anticipated sonic experience with Set It Off. The upcoming album marks his second full-length solo endeavor, following the 2019 release of Father of 4. It’s set for release on October 13.

Drake’s “Slime You Out” Cover Art Results In Negative Review From Halle Berry

September 16, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Drake’s music isn’t for everyone, but those who support the father of one go incredibly hard for him, even in times of trouble. He’s currently travelling across North America on his It’s All a Blur, while also putting the finishing touches on his For All The Dogs album. The surprise project was first announced several months ago, and while it seemed as though it would be arriving shortly after the news broke, Champagne Papi has been taking his time perfecting his work. So far we’ve heard just one single, “Slime You Out” featuring SZA. However, that’s already gotten a notably negative review from Catwoman actress Halle Berry.

The track hit streamers at noon on Friday (September 15), and many Twitter users have already admitted to being in their feelings over it. “Slime You Out” finds the former lovers singing to each other about their failures in romance, slipping in a few toxic bars just for good measure. Rather than posing together for the cover art, Drake went with a throwback photo of Berry full of slime at the Nickelodeon Teen Choice Awards, perfectly matching his single’s title.

Not long after the Scorpion rapper shared his latest release, Berry’s Instagram lit up with a message reading, “Sometimes you have to be the bigger guy… Even if you’re a woman.” When a fan dropped by the comments to ask how the mother of one feels about Drake’s image selection, she made followers aware that she doesn’t approve. “Didn’t get my permission, that’s not cool. I thought better of him,” the starlet revealed. “Hence my post today,” she continued. “When people you admire disappoint you, you have to be the bigger person and move on!”

Now that the world has gotten a taste of what Drizzy is cooking up on For All The Dogs, they’re hungrier than ever to hear the finished project. However, the 36-year-old confirmed on Instagram this weekend that he’s dealing with some delays, and is anticipating on dropping his album in early October. Read what Drake had to say about the situation at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Doja Cat’s “Demons” Single Cover Art Is Chilling

August 29, 2023 by newhiphopnews

It is finally here, the cover artwork is finally upon us! Doja Cat’s highly anticipated new album Scarlet seems to be getting closer by the day. Just a short time ago, the R&B megastar shared the title of her next lead single as well as the cover art. The song “Demons” is going to be out on all streaming platforms on Friday, September 1. We were first teased about the release date almost a week ago when Doja posted to her Instagram. Her silhouette revealed her wearing devil horns with the caption reading, “9.1.23 ”

Next, on Twitter, we got another teaser for “Demons” with her sharing some footage from the accompanying music video. It shows Doja in a bathtub from an aerial view with black water and a large, creepy, black hand pulling her head back. Doja’s eyes are rolled back revealing ghostly white eyeballs. If that was not enough to salivate over, her new ink also displays what her new themes for Scarlet will be. She recently got a really cool scythe tattoo that wraps around her entire ear. It is demon time indeed for Doja and her fans.

Now that we are just a few days away from more material from the “Say So” songwriter, the cover art is out. Well, it is here and it is blood-curdling, to say the least. At first glance, all you might see is what appears to be a living room of some sort. A comfy chair, mirror, a table with a lamp, that all is normal. But then you scan the photo and you will notice a woman hanging upside down in all black, creepily smiling at you. That woman is Doja Cat fully embracing her new controversial look. The final touch is “Demons” written into the carpet.

What are your thoughts on this single cover art for Doja Cat’s “Demons?” Are you excited for it? Do you think this track will be better than “Paint The Town Red?” We want to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts and opinions in the comments section below.

Lil Uzi Vert Reveals “Barter 16” Cover Art

August 17, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Lil Uzi Vert has been hard at work ever since releasing their latest project, The Pink Tape. In fact, it seems like their next album is going to be some sort of Young Thug tribute. The album name is going to be Barter 16, which is, of course, a play on Thug’s iconic mixtape, Barter 6. Overall, fans are very intrigued about this new body of work. Although we don’t know much else besides the title, it seems like the album could be released as soon as next Friday. This would be huge as Barter 16 could very well be the biggest album of the year.

Yesterday, a lot of people were thinking about Young Thug. This is because it was his birthday. The influential rapper turned 32 years old, and although he is locked up, we hope he got to see what people were saying about him. There was nothing but tributes for Thug on social media. In fact, even Gunna wished him a happy birthday, which led to plenty of amusing reactions. As for Lil Uzi Vert, well, they wished Thugger a happy birthday by posting the cover art for Barter 16.

As you can see up above, the cover art for the album is a 100 percent accurate recreation of the Barter 6 cover art. Uzi is even naked on the cover, which is exactly how Thug shot his cover back in the day. It was definitely a bit of a risk, but fans appreciate the realism. Moreover, Uzi revealed that the album will be dropping soon. An official date was not revealed, but fans should anticipate some sort of announcement very soon. After all, we do have the cover art.

Hopefully, we get some more details on this project, very soon. Let us know your expectations for it, in the comments section below.
