DDG Will Do Anything To Protect Halo On “Sh**t Up Your Block”

by

Over the past couple of months, Michigan multi-hyphenate DDG has put out two singles. Unfortunately, they have not been very memorable in our opinion. His voice seems to be the biggest issue we have with sound. For some reason, it is hard to tell when you hear a song from him. The beats have also been fairly run-of-the-mill. However, DDG is riding a bit of a different wave on “Sh**t Up Your Block.”

The reason we say that is because Cash Cobain produced this cut. If you are not familiar with his style, it is very woozy, low-key, and hazy. He also likes to rely more heavily on bass and less drums. That is the case with “Sh**t Up Your Block.”

Also drawing us into this record are DDG’s lyrics. It is clear that he is dedicating this song to his newborn son Halo. The writing is a little suspect, saying he will “spin,” even though he is “not affiliated with gangs.” Of course, the rapper and his boo, Halle Bailey, welcomed their child at the start of 2024. There was tons of speculation on whether or not she was pregnant. This song also comes at the perfect time, as Halo was born two months ago yesterday.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single, “Sh**t Up Your Block,” by DDG? Is this one of his strongest tracks lately, why or why not? What is your favorite element of the song and why? Do you think he has an album on the way? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding DDG. Finally, stay with us for the most informative song posts throughout the week.

Quotable Lyrics:

I can’t be childish, b***, I got a kid
Told her we can link but just not at my crib
My son custom down to the chain, to the f****n’ bib
I’m not affiliated with gangs, but for him I’ll spin
Shoot up yo’ block, shoot up yo’ block, shoot up yo’ block (Ooh), shoot up yo’ block
When it come to my son and my fam, you get popped

DDG Drops New Collection With Anti Social Social Club Titled 'Who We Hate to Be'

DDG is a man of many talents. From finding success on Youtube to his rap career to breaking into fashion, to even becoming a new father.

Last week during the highly-anticipated BMF red carpet premiere and screening in Los Angeles, The Source had the pleasure of chatting with DDG as he stepped out in an all-black outfit and shades. 

What was the moment you fell in love with? 

It’s funny, actually 50 Cent was my first introduction to Hip-Hop. He was my favorite rapper growing up. Get Rich & Or Die Trying, I had the G-Unit shoes, the clothes, the video game. All of that.

What’s your favorite 50 Cent song?

“Many Men.” 

Did you get to catch his tour? Because that show was so amazing. 

Nah, I didn’t get to go.

Did you really drop $50K on a diamond tooth? 

Yeah, something like that. 

How’s the baby doing? 

Great, amazing. He’s very, very advanced, and I’m very proud. 

What’s it going to be? 

I don’t know, whatever he wants to be. You never know. He’s already playing piano, so we’ll see.

What’s the best part of fatherhood? 

Just seeing the little stuff. It’s like low key reliving your own life and seeing how it was to be a baby and growing up. You’re seeing how you were when you were a kid. 

Do you feel like you had to grow up? 

Yeah, I feel like a super grown up. I feel like a man. Not that I didn’t feel like a man before, but feel like a man man.

You bought your son a private jet?

Yeah, everywhere we fly because I don’t want to bring him through TSA. Maybe when everybody sees his face right now, it won’t matter. But right know, I keep it private. 

What are you working on? 

New music. Maybe getting into acting. I’m trying to go go go this year.

Are you taking acting classes?

I don’t need no class. It’s in me!

by

Earlier this year, Halle Bailey hit fans with some major news. Pregnancy rumors had swirled around the singer and actress for months though she’d been purposefully quiet about acknowledging them. That’s why fans had a variety of reactions to her “surprise” announcement that she gave birth to her first child in the first week of the new year. She later confirmed that it was actually the boy’s father, DDG, who came up with what would eventually be his name, Halo.

Now Halle Bailey is getting back into her routine, starting with a new magazine cover showing off her post-pregnancy look. She appears on the newest edition of Essence Magazine, which highlights her specifically among a larger focus on black women in Hollywood. “thank you so much @essence for this incredible honor 🌹✨i’m forever grateful” she captioned her Instagram post sharing some of the pictures from the piece. In some of the pictures she’s sporting a dark red dress stretching head to toe and in others, she posed in a more stark black and white. Check out all the photos she shared below.

DDG Is “Going To The Top” On His Latest Single

by

DDG for some reason just does not hit the sweet spot for us when it comes to crafting memorable tracks. The multi-hyphenate from Michigan does not have to be a wordsmith by any means. Creating easy-going tracks that are catchy is not a bad thing to make a career off of. However, DDG just does not have that special sauce even on his latest single “Going To The Top.”

This follows up his “She Don’t Play” offering from late December. It was more a of club/party track about a woman who could get whatever she wanted. There are a lot of artists who make similar music to DDG. But, what helps them stand out is the way they deliver their lyrics and the production choices they make.

Listen To “Going To The Top” By DDG

For the past YouTuber, it seems that he selects basic flows and instrumentals that you will hear all over the current hip-hop landscape. “Going To The Top” is about grinding and flexing how far you have come and how no one is better. It is a common rap topic and has given us plenty of memorable tracks. Yet again though, DDG does nothing to show us why it should be worth going back to this. Still, if you want to support, click the link to check out the song above.

These n****s be focused on nothin’ but b*****s
You barely got money, but you let her spend it

DDG Drops New Collection With Anti Social Social Club Titled 'Who We Hate to Be'

DDG has much to celebrate, including welcoming a newborn with girlfriend Halle Bailey. And while he’s made his mark both on YouTube and in the rap game, he’s now diving head-on into the fashion world.

Fresh off his trip overseas for Paris Fashion Week, DDG returns to drop his newest collection with Anti Social Social Club. The collection is aptly titled “Who We Hate To Be,” boasting signature designs from the popular streetwear brand and new accessories such as the 3M Scotchlite hat.

“My love for both streetwear and couture is no secret,” says DDG about the campaign. “I’ve been rocking with Anti Social Social Club for years, so it’s a real honor to partner with them for their newest drop. My creativity doesn’t stop at music and through collaborations like this, I’m able to share my broader artistic vision in fashion.”

This is certainly not the first collab with a rapper for Anti Social Social Club, following collaborations with Rich The Kid and 1500 or Nothin’, the latter of which paid tribute to the late Nipsey Hussle.

Anti Social Social Club shared the same sentiments: “When we learned that DDG was a fan of Anti Social Social Club, we were excited to shoot and style him in ASSC’s iconic Mind Games graphic, with a flare from the reflective material, including our 3M Scotchlite hat. Among his peers, DDG stands out as a rapper and artist with a uniquely strong connection to fashion, and we look forward to seeing him grow in the streetwear community. It’s a pleasure to feature him in a campaign and deliver his fans a unique collection.”

The collection will be available for purchase at Anti Social Social Club’s online store starting Saturday, Feb. 17th.

As they did with Rihanna in 2023, fans frantically played detective to determine if Halle Bailey was expecting her first child. For months, the “Angel” singer managed to avoid discussing future plans with her boyfriend DDG. That all changed on January 6, when the first-time parents confirmed the birth of their son, Halo.

Now that the news is out, Bailey has begun sharing content she recorded while pregnant. But some aren’t particularly fond of the light-hearted material, given how secretive Bailey had been. Some have even called her out for gaslighting and lying to her followers when they asked if she was with child. Well, Bailey has had enough. On January 28, Bailey took to X (formerly Twitter) to slam folks for pushing the narrative.

“I never lied or even said anything about it, honey,” she wrote. “Making a joke about my nose was the farthest I went. I’ll never understand why you are mad i protected my own peace, wouldn’t you do the same? And I’m gonna share my pics now if I want to because my son is here safely. If you don’t wanna see it, just keep scrolling, baby LOL. God bless you! 😘♥”

Bailey previously revealed that she stirred clear from social media to maintain her sanity while pregnant. Her sister, Uproxx cover star Chlöe, echoed this decision and encouraged her to enjoy the pregnancy offline to avoid people’s opinions online.

Moreover, while this announcement is not a secret, fans might remember that Halle Bailey kept her entire pregnancy one. Her sister Chloe revealed that keeping the pregnancy secret was easy. Moreover, she says it was easy to ignore the rumors. “We just ignore it,” Chloe said of the rumors in an interview with PEOPLE. “I would tell her, like, take social media off your phone, you know, I keep all her other secrets. So this was just another one in the books.” Furthermore, the Be Love campaign stands as an invitation to embrace love not just on Valentine’s Day but as a continuous, ever-present force in our lives. The collection curated by Pandora offers an array of options suitable for various occasions, making it ideal for expressing love to oneself, surprising a partner, family member, or even a best friend.

However, Pandora’s Be Love collection includes meticulously crafted pieces that transcend the ephemeral nature of traditional gifts. Whether it’s a pair of earrings, a necklace, or a ring, each item is designed to symbolize everlasting love, a sentiment beautifully embodied by Chloe and Halle as they showcase the collection with grace and style. Moreover, if you’re in the mood to spread love beyond the confines of a specific day, the Be Love collection offers a perfect opportunity to do so.

Halle Bailey Opens Up On Keeping Her Pregnancy A Secret From The Internet

Earlier this month, Halle Bailey and DDG welcomed their new baby boy Halo into the world. The birth was met with a lot of the same kind of love and praise as you’d expect from fans of the new parents online. But it wasn’t quite as surprising of an announcement as you’d expect. Despite not revealing her pregnancy ahead of time, hundreds of fans online had already guessed exactly what she was going through. So after months of speculating from fans online, it wasn’t that much of a surprise in the end when the official announcement came.

In a recent video posted to social media, Halle responds to a fan question about the stress of blogs and fans online speculating about her pregnancy. But seemingly by design, she says she stayed off social media as much as possible. That’s probably for the best as some of the speculation got a bit nasty. It came to a fever pitch when Chloe erupted on some fans in an Instagram Live video for their endless speculation. When the pregnancy was officially announced fans hadn’t forgotten and took shots at Chloe in her next Instagram post for her heated reaction despite fans being right. Check out Halle’s full response to the question below.

In reports released following Halo’s birth the secrecy surrounding it was explained. Insiders claimed that the couple were aiming to “protect” their unborn child by keeping his existence a secret.” Halle told friends it was to protect their baby and relationship from scrutiny. But it was all very strange to those around them, especially when she has had such a huge year in movies,” a source told US Weekly.

Halle did have a pretty big 2023. She took on the leading role in a live-action remake of The Little Mermaid. She also released her debut single as a solo artist “Angel” in August. What do you think of Halle’s response to fans speculating about her pregnancy online? Let us know in the comment section below.
