BigXthaPlug Gives A “Primetime” Show On New Song

by

Rising Dallas, Texas MC BigXthaPlug just dropped “Primetime,” a grand and heavy-hitting cut of Southern hip-hop. While Big X isn’t topping charts, he’s making noise online and garnering millions of views from his pure talent. Moreover, this new track mixes a lot of sounds together for a uniquely hype and triumphant vibe.

However, you may be surprised at the Plug’s background. He’s nicknamed “The Biggest Stepper” (but who’s Mr. Morale?) and was a star football player from his childhood to his freshman year of college. Then, he faced some trouble during that time that caused him to shift gears. Afterwards, his mixtape Back from the Dead and singles like “Big Stepper,” Mr. Trouble,” “Safehouse,” and “Texas” bolstered his musical profile. His most recent efforts nabbed him cosigns from Bun B, Erykah Badu, and Shaq.

Also, the MC named “Primetime” after Pro Football Hall of Fame cornerback Deion Sanders. Much like that status, this track feels victorious and epic while still being enjoyable and hard-hitting trap. What’s more is that the instrumental prowess on this track really makes it stand out above all. Moreover, the saxophone that opens the track is gorgeous and classy, clashing creatively with the drum pattern that follows.

Meanwhile, grand hits of strings and subtle swells elevate the track to a more dramatic level every now and then. Most interestingly, however, that contrast between classy and punchy even adds rock into the mix. During some parts of the verses and chorus, you can hear an electric guitar wail away atmospherically in the background. Also, some muffled acoustic kicks give the track tense percussion in its build-ups.

Still, what did you think of BigXthaPlug’s latest single, “Primetime”? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments and peep some notable lyrics from the track down below. Also, if you haven’t heard the song yet, you can find it on your preferred streaming service. As always, check back in with HNHH for the latest great music releases of the week.

Quotable Lyrics

Take some lessons, I’ll teach you lil’ boys how to trap,
I just started this s**t and my face on the map,
We’ve been runnin’ through packs, steady runnin’ up laps,
If you got B.O.A., come and get your s**t tapped

2G.Kaash Taps Kodak Black For “Pushin For Love”

by

2G.Kaash just recruited Kodak Black for a new single titled “Pushin for Love,” and they demonstrate great chemistry. Yak signed the Dallas, Texas rapper last February to his Sniper Gang label, in partnership with Atlantic Records. While the Florida rapper has been criticized for signing “crash dummies” to his label, we hope that such accusations don’t turn true for Kaash. It would be a waste of the talent and chemistry on display on this track.

Previously, Kaash released “Walk Down” when he beat a murder charge in May of last year. Moreover, the controversy around his case tacked with new music grew some buzz around his profile. Since then, he’s kept it low-key with a couple of singles and features. Now, it seems he’s gearing up for bigger and better things with his label boss by his side.

However, that’s not to say that Kaash doesn’t come through with a lot of personality, character, and identity on this track. In fact, his passionate singing and introspective lyrics might remind listeners of some of Juice WRLD’s material. Although the vocal tones are similar, the production is more inspired by the melodic, emotive street rap making waves today. Also, it’s a space that Kodak Black himself does very well in on the single, in contrast to recent verses. Moreover, songs like Doodie Loo’s murderous “ISTG, Pt. 2” pair nicely with “Pushin for Love” to show Yak’s range.

What did you think of this new song? Let us know in the comments down below. If you haven’t heard it yet, you can find “Pushin for Love” by Sniper Gang’s 2G.Kaash and Kodak Black on your preferred streaming service. In addition, peep the music video and some standout bars below. Also, stay tuned to HNHH for more fresh tracks from hip-hop’s most prolific collectives.

Quotable Lyrics

A’s gone, I feel his blood on my hand, I had my
Hand on his blood, some s**t you wouldn’t understand,
I feel the chaos around me, some s**t never end,
I get high in the sky and I hope this plane never land

Yella Beezy Drops New Mixtape ‘Bad Azz Yella Boy’

by
Yella Beezy Reportedly Got Locked Up After Cops Found 5 Firearms

Before he makes his highly-anticipated Asylum Records album debut, high-profile Dallas recording artist Yella Beezy releases his first project in three years with new mixtape, Bad Azz Yella Boy, which is accompanied by the new music video for the album-cut, “DFMW”. Released Friday (August 5) on all digital streaming platforms via Profit Music Group, the new project comes on the heels of the “That’s On Me” hitmaker being cleared of all charges in several high-profile cases and signing a new deal with Asylum Records in late-2021 after leaving L.A. Reid’s Hitco Records.

Bad Azz Yella Boy includes 16 new songs that features guest appearances by newly-signed Quality Control recording artist Icewear Vezzo (“Out The Jar”) and up-and-coming act Mozz (“Problems”). On the production side, the project features multi-platinum producer, Murda Beatz (Migos, Travis Scott). From the cover to the sound, Yella’s latest release heavily sampled the nostalgic No Limit and Cash Money era.

“It’s like a reboot of how Cash Money and No Limit… their covers used to be,” Beezy tells iHeartRadio. “It was kinda inspired by that. I always wanted to do a cover like that. Since this is just a mixtape, I was like this is the perfect timing.”

The new mixtape is reset for the artist and fans who fell in love with him and his flashy trash talk-but-can back it up at any given moment ways in 2017 with his breakout mixtape, Broke Nights Rich Days. The return of that signature southern charm and grit that saw him collaborate with several of the biggest names in music, like Lil Baby (“Up One”), Gunna (“On Fleek”), and Chris Brown (“Restroom Occupied”)

He continued: “Yella Boy is just talking his s**t on there,” Beezy says. “So I feel like, this tape right here, I’m really talking a lot of s**t on there.”

In “DFWM,” Yella Beezy stars as ruthless no nonsense hustler who has to teach a rival crew a lesson for trying to stiff him on a deal. Things get ugly quickly while he raps about dealing with haters and unsavory characters when he is simply getting to the money and minding his own business. The visual delivers more nostalgia with Beezy and crew rolling around in a cherry-red 1985 BMW. Watch it above.

Bad Azz Yella Boy follows his 2019 mixtape, Baccend Beezy, that features Too Short, Chris Brown, Young Thug, and NLE Choppa. Beezy’s forthcoming album, currently untitled, coming soon on Asylum Records.

T-Pain Calls Out Dallas Fans for Low Ticket Sales

t pain up dlc tour canceled poor ticket sales

T-Pain has had the streets singing his songs since 2005. With the release of songs such as “I’m Sprung,” “I’m N Luv (Wit a Stripper),” “Can’t Believe It,” and more, there’s no doubt that the singer will always be loved in the music industry……unless you are from Dallas.

Just jokes! However, the “Bartender” rapper recently called out his fans in Dallas after reviewing the sales for his ongoing tour, where he noticed the percentage was really low for his show in Dallas.

“On the tour we do a weekly tour update kind of thing, you know, and we send out this little spreadsheet of the percentages of tickets we’ve sold in each city,” T-Pain told fans on TikTok. “I got to tell you, man, there’s only one question: ‘What the fuck, Dallas?’”

“Dallas, what are you doing?! Y’all don’t fuck with me?! What did I do! Let me know what I did! What’s going on?!” he added as the percentage number reads 26%.  “I wore cowboy hats many times! I used to raise horses! I feel like I’m part of the city! I’ve worn a cowboy hat or two…regular cowboys and Dallas Cowboys!”

“DALLAS GET YOUR HEAD IN THE GAME!!!!! BUFFALLO YOURE NEXT!!!!” the rapper wrote as Buffalo can be seen with 39% ticket sales.

Check out the video of the singer’s pain below.
