Saweetie Is Living In The Lap Of Luxury On “Richtivities”

February 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Saweetie has relentlessly pushed back her debut record Pretty B**** Music. The Bay Area rapper has been doing this since 2018 with numerous hits under her belt. However, with her waiting so long to drop her first true LP, it seems she has gotten a little lost in the fold of femcees that have emerged around the same time as her. But, she is not going to let that stop her from eventually getting this thing out to the public. For now, Saweetie is back with “Richtivities.”

Her last single came out in late January with P-Lo called “Do It For The Bay.” However, that track was more of a promotional song for Saweetie’s hometown San Francisco 49ers. Maybe that song helped them get another Super Bowl berth? Saweetie’s last true single was released back in July with Tyga and her now ex YG called “BIRTHDAY.”

Listen To “Richtivities” By Saweetie

“Richtivities” is your typical braggadocious female rap cut about being sexually desirable and having the most expensive niceties. The bars are pretty plain jane (pun intended). “Super fine, bills paid, doin’ fine / True to time, give me brain, use your mind / P***y wet, I’m a water sign.” If this is what her fans want then they will really enjoy the album. However, for the rest of the music fans, waiting all this time for the tracks to sound generic will not bode well for Saweetie sadly.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single, “Richtivities,” by Saweetie? Does this song get you excited for her debut album Pretty B**** Music, why or why not? Do you think she took too long to drop it, or is she doing the right thing? 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 Saweetie. Finally, stay with us for the most informative song posts throughout the week.

Quotable Lyrics:

Poke it out, a** fat, showin’ out
Goin’ out, liquor shots pourin’ out
Big amounts, never have to go without
Money talk, bank account word to mouth
Private jets, first class, not a flex
Post a pic, shut down the entire net

Erick The Architect & James Blake Are The “Wonder Twins” On “2-3 Zone”

February 21, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Erick the Architect has us buzzing about his upcoming debut album, I’ve Never Been Here Before. It is due to release on February 23 and all of the singles have been interesting and extremely worthwhile listens. About a fourth of the 16 tracks have been released ahead of the LP to be exact. Erick is back to share the now sixth teaser with “2-3 Zone.”

On almost all of the samplers, Erick has brought on some incredible guests to add extra hype. Joey Bada$$, WESTSIDE BOOGIE, and George Clinton are just a few to name. For “2-3 Zone” though, the Flatbush Zombies member might have just recruited the biggest one of them all. James Blake is the credited producer for the last single.

Listen To “2-3 Zone” By Erick The Architect & James Blake

Believe it or not, this is the second time we have seen both artists on one production. The first effort with James and Erick came all the way back in 2020 for “I Keep Calling.” It was a track for the frequent hip-hop crossover specialist’s four track EP. Erick was in the production seat for that one, so this is a bit of a role reversal moment. Erick brings perhaps his stickiest melody to “2-3 Zone” and it looks like it could be the best in a plethora of standout tracks.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single, “2-3 Zone,” by Erick the Architect and James Blake? Is this the best single from I’ve Never Been Here Before, why or why not? Does this have a chance to be an album of the year candidate? Is Erick the best Flatbush Zombies member? Do you need to hear more from these two? 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 Erick the Architect and James Blake.

Quotable Lyrics:

Me and James like the Wonder Twins
Hit the stage with the gun in hip
Hit a lick, hit or miss, let me guess, this’ll get, this’ll get ignorant
Dividends spend when the mini-van land
First time out on tour, never give a got damn
Always put on my mans

Normani’s Long-Awaited Debut Album Receives Artwork & Title, But Still No Official Release Date

February 21, 2024 by newhiphopnews

In 2016, Fifth Harmony lost one of its key members Camila Cabello. She went on to pursue her solo career and it has continued to be a successful one. Even though the girl group was down to four, they were able to chug along for about another two years. It would be in March of 2018 that they decided to all move on as solo acts, including Normani. Ever since then, she has been teasing her first project. But, that was all she did. No cover art, tracklist, or release date was ever given for five long years. That finally all changes today as Normani has just handed out some of the details of her debut album.

This comes amid some accusations made by critics that she was running her own fan account on social media. However, it has been debunked, as her team is handling all of that. Normani cleaned out her Instagram, making room to show off her debut album cover art and title. It is titled Dopamine, and it features her wearing a skimpy, matching, black leather lingerie set while sitting on a blacked-out rocket ship.

Normani Is Getting Ready To Take Flight On Her Own

In addition, Uproxx went ahead and checked out the link in Normani’s bio for more information on the LP. Ironically branded as wheresthedamnalbum.com, when you click on that link it will bring you to a pre-save link for Spotify and Apple Music. To the right is a ever-changing release date, so there is still no official word on that. But at least we have some of the goods. Hopefully, Normani and RCA get a date shortly after seeing all of this exciting news unfold.

What are your thoughts on Normani finally revealing the album artwork and title? Is she waiting too long, or are you still excited about her debut? Who do you want to see featured on the LP and why? What do you speculate the release date will be? 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 Normani. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on around the world of music.

Today in Hip-Hop History: Master P Dropped Debut Album ‘Get Away Clean’ 33 Years Ago

February 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

tumblr d630daa40c4d3c48feccc00128983d4c 311dd32b 1280

On this date in 1991, New Orleans rap icon Percy “Master P” Miller released his first album entitled Get Away Clean on his independently established No Limit Records.

Featuring his own NOLA-based crew TRU (The Real Untouchables), who just happened to include himself and his brothers Silkk The Shocker and C-Murder, Get Away Clean was the first release from No Limit Records and distributed through the Oakland, California-based In A Minute Records.

The 14 track, the underground project was a hit in the hustling spots but never received any commercial success like any of the other post “Ice Cream Man” No Limit releases.

Salute to Mr. Miller and the rest of his No Limit family for bringing us such a timeless piece of Hip Hop history!

1999 WRITE THE FUTURE Brings Tons Of Diversity To Their First Album “Hella (˃̣̣̥╭╮˂̣̣̥) ✧ ♡ ‧º·˚”

February 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

If you are looking to find some new music to switch up your 20-song rotation, look no further than 1999 WRITE THE FUTURE. This hip-hop collective has been picking up steam over the past month and a half or so. They have been frequently dropping singles with various artists. 1999 likes to experiment with their sounds and it makes them a unique prospect.

Some of the tracks that have caught our attention from them include “LiGhT RAiLs” with Rick Ross and Rich Brian. This may be the biggest banger they have dropped and it features a killer soul/trap beat from redveil. We also thoroughly enjoyed “MiNt cHoCoLaTe.” That featured jazz ensemble BADBADNOTGOOD, Westside Gunn, as well as Conway the Machine.

Listen To Hella (˃̣̣̥╭╮˂̣̣̥) ✧ ♡ ‧º·˚By 1999 WRITE THE FUTURE

We were speculating a project had to be in the works and it is finally here. 1999’s debut is uniquely titled hella (˃̣̣̥╭╮˂̣̣̥) ✧ ♡ ‧º·˚.” The name of this project and track titles have these weird stylizations that hint at a colorful listen. That is what you get here and then some. There really is something here genre-wise for everyone.

Today in Hip Hop History: dead prez Dropped Their Debut Album ‘Let’s Get Free’ 24 Years Ago

February 8, 2024 by newhiphopnews

tumblr 5f451f12a77c218970f558c1a63c9b69 3e05f590 640

On this date at the turn of the millennium, Brooklyn-based revolutionary duo dead prez released their conceptually advanced Let’s Get Free LP on Loud Records.

Founded in the late 90s by Brand Nubian member Lord Jamar, stic and M1 changed the perception of conscious rap, touching on pragmatic socio-political issues in their content without sacrificing the lyrical prowess of genuine emcees. With production exclusively by Lord Jamar and stic, Let’s Get Free gives an unprecedented viewpoint of the Black experience in modern times with a twist of revolutionary get back. Tracks like “They Schools”, “Psychology” and “Behind Enemy Lines” address the social ills of today, while songs like “Mind Sex”, “Be Healthy” and “Discipline” use pragmatic approaches in an attempt to curb common negative connotations in the hood.

Both commercially and critically successful, Let’s Get Free is a two decade old reminder of the innate purpose of Hip shop culture; to enlighten, empower and uplift. Salute to stic, M-1 and the rest of the RBG crew for giving us such an important part of Hip Hop history!

Today in Hip-Hop History: 50 Cent Dropped His Debut ‘Get Rich Or Die Tryin’ LP 21 Years Ago

February 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

tumblr 5b872b87e637212bd075a0bb58122fd9 3bb56f6a 1280

On this date in 2003, 50 Cent released his second and most critically acclaimed album to date Get Rich Or Die Tryin on Shady Records, Aftermath Entertainment and Interscope Records.

After his street-certified buzz from his Guess Who’s Back mixtape, a meeting with Eminem eventually turned into a million-dollar deal on Dr. Dre and Em’s Shady/Aftermath imprint. With the album executive produced by Dre and Fif, this project became probably the most anticipated release of any debut Hip-Hop album of the new millennium.

Debuting at the pole position on Billboard 200, GRODT sold almost 900K units its first week and is now certified 6x platinum. The commercial success of the album in terms of radio and video plays as well the movie that launched starring 50 Cent with the same title helped earn the album a Grammy nod in 2004.

Some of the album’s forerunning singles include the ever-popular “In Da Club,” “21 Questions” featuring the late Nate Dogg, and “P.I.M.P.,” which became an international hit.

Salute to 50, Dre, Em, and the entire G-Unit for this timeless piece of Hip-Hop history!

January 26, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The Kid LAROI finally made his comeback with his debut album THE FIRST TIME back in November of 2023. In typical fashion, the rapper and singer put a lot of different soundscapes on his record. From trap rap to singer/songwriter, LAROI brought out everything he had creatively onto one album. The Aussie spoke a lot about the things that have been weighing on him, especially during the project’s rollout.

Fast forward to late January 2024 and we already have new music from the multi-talent. The 20-year-old phenom is back with a new single called “HEAVEN.” According to Genius and Uproxx, this is going to be a part of a new record, or a deluxe version of the debut. There is no word on when any of that will be out, but those are the rumors going around right now.

“HEAVEN” is a brutally honest, self-assessing track about looking inward and fixing the problems in your life. LAROI talks about his nights of drug and alcohol abuse and how he wants to do what he can to live a long and fulfilling life. He sings with pain over a somber and cold beat. It might be the most gut-wrenching and powerful performance he has ever put out in his career. It really is a fantastic effort and one we encourage you to check out. Additionally, you can read the thoughtful message he put on his Instagram, explaining the meaning of the song.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single, “HEAVEN,” by The Kid LAROI? Should this song have made it onto the final version of THE FIRST TIME? How many songs should he add to the deluxe?

And gettin’ high, nothin’ there behind my eyes
I was numb inside, and I can’t believe that I
Even stayed alive ’til you walked up in my life and now

Saweetie Bosses Up On “Immortal Freestyle”

January 22, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Suit up for what looks to be a new era for Saweetie, as she just dropped her latest, “Immortal Freestyle.” For years, Saweetie has been honing in her craft while cranking out hits that have taken over clubs and social media. She’s toured, appeared on festival stages, and also caused conversations with her televised performances. Despite the trolls and naysayers, Saweetie continues to storm up the charts and seems to be setting up a 2024 takeover.

Recently, we told you about Saweetie stunning in the sun while previewing some new music. Over the last few weeks, several Rap Girlies have delivered fire freestyles that give a nod to what they’ve been working on. Saweetie entered the chat with “Immortal Freestyle,” and she caught up with PAPER to speak candidly about her return.

Saweetie Wants To Inspire Women

“I think ‘Immortal Freestyle’ is just a statement for all the girls who feel like they’ve been knocked down before and always, continuously get up no matter what,” Saweetie told the publication. “I just wanted to inspire my Icy Girls to continue to do what they do, no matter how tough and dangerous the storm may look. Because if you keep preserving and if you keep doing what you’re supposed to do, you’ll get to your destination. We’re immortal baby. I know that’s right!”

Moreover, although it’s unclear if the femcee’s debut album Pretty B*tch Music will arrive this year, Saweetie did explain what the phrase means to her. She said, “It’s how you treat people; it’s how you move; it’s your aura! Pretty b*tch music is a movement. I pray and I hope all my girls are able to tap into who they are, and they’re able to achieve their highest level of energy.”

While you decide whether or not this PBM is the movement for you, check out Saweetie’s “Immortal Freestyle” and let us know your thoughts.

Quotable Lyrics

Tie my shoеs up, I’m goin’ on a run
I could pull your n*gga with no makeup and a bun
My gay homeboys said, “B*tch, don’t leave no crumbs”
Wait, I think I heard something
Oh it’s just them b*tches at the bottom who ain’t worth nothin’ (Huh)
I can’t hear nothin’, sittin’ pretty at the top (Top)
Get my phone (Brrr), yeah, time to call the shots (Shots)

Tierra Whack Unveils Debut Album, “World Wide Whack,” Coming Soon

January 22, 2024 by newhiphopnews

You won’t find many MCs in the modern era that are as vibrant, versatile, or viciously sought-after as Tierra Whack. Moreover, her creative blends of hip-hop, pop, R&B, and alternative, all under a cheeky, playful, but nonetheless impactful lens, have captivated fans in the mainstream and underground alike ever since her 2018 project Whack World. However, it’s been a long time since we heard anything from the Philly MC in a long-form capacity, particularly her Rap?, Pop?, and R&B? EPs from 2021. Along with some singles and loose freestyles, this fueled the fire for fans begging for more and more, and she finally took the step to invite fans into her world once more.

Furthermore, Tierra Whack just announced her debut album, World Wide Whack, set for a March 15 release via Interscope Records. “I really took my time with this, so I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do,” she wrote on her social media platforms along with the project’s cover art. Not only that, but the “Chanel Pit” multi-hyphenate (a track which might appear on this LP) also announced her lead single for the project, “Shower Song,” which will come out this Friday (January 26). She had previously previewed this song with a cheeky Internet clip of her in the bathtub with some hot dogs… that she proceeded to eat with some mustard. Tasty!

Tierra Whack Announces World Wide Whack & “Shower Song”

Of course, fans are incredibly excited to dive into World Wide Whack, and it’s great to see one of the best hip-hop artists working today diving into a new rollout. Hopefully this incorporates the genre blends in more progressive and meaty ways compared to the potential and strong songwriting displayed on previous singles and her 2021 EPs. We can’t really predict what Tierra Whack will do here, but that is exactly what makes this a very anticipated project for 2024’s first quarter. If anything, it will hopefully and likely be a critical darling that you can bet will get consideration on mid-year and even end-of-year lists.

Meanwhile, as fans also found out about her bonding with Tyler, The Creator and a potential collab, this is just all good news compounding on itself. With all that in mind, make sure to keep an eye out for World Wide Whack and its soon-to-come single, “Shower Song.” Also, drop your thoughts on this announcement in the comments, and let us know whether you’re looking forward to this next step. On that note, stick around on HNHH for the latest news and updates on Tierra Whack.
