4batz Officially Releases “Act III: On God?” Remix With Kanye West

May 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

4batz has quickly become one of the more controversial artists we have in R&B and hip-hop. Fans have been all sorts of confused as to how this Dallas, Texas singer became so popular. His single “act ii date @ 8” was the song that had the internet in a chokehold for better or worse depending on who you ask. It got so much buzz, that Drake even recognized that he had something cooking. Eventually, it led to them making a remix that some were also not to fond of. Another 4batz track that some felt did not need a remix of was “act iii: on god? (she like).”

A few weeks ago, a snippet of the “act iii” remix made the rounds on X, and it had revealed that Kanye West and 4batz had been working in the studio. Then, not too long after, another clip surfaced that saw the rookie and the vet relistening to their collaboration. Instead of being released as a fifth single to 4batz’s debut tape u made me a st4r, it became strictly an album cut. Even though people were highly critical of Ye’s verse, the lyrical content definitely matches the vibe of what 4batz likes to do.

Listen To “Act III: On God? (She Like) (Remix)” By 4batz & Kanye West

However, we can see why there were so many skeptics for this reason. The vocal delivery from Kanye comes across a little awkwardly, especially compared to what his enemy Drake did on his respective remix. All in all, it makes a for a decent, but not great first team-up. Still, give the remix of “act iii” a listen above.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new song “act iii: on god? (she like) (Remix)” by 4batz and Kanye West? Do you think this remix was necessary, why or why not? How are you feeling about u made me a st4r so far? Do you still view him as an industry plant? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.

Listenin’ to broke b****es, now ya both broke
Relationship advice from girlfriends
Who ain’t got a man, what a joke
But I guess it’s how it go
Cap s*** to the side though
That s*** hurt my pride though

Today in Hip-Hop History: Outkast Dropped Their Debut Album ‘Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik’ 30 Years Ago

April 26, 2024 by newhiphopnews

On this day in Hip Hop history three decades ago, OutKast, the duo that helped pioneer putting southern Hip Hop on the map, released their debut classic LP, Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik.

This Dungeon Family masterpiece recorded by Andre 3000 and Big Boi paved the way for Atlanta and the rest of the Dirty South to have their unique voice in Hip Hop. Before this album, there weren’t many hit records coming from anywhere south of the Mason-Dixon line. Peaking at #20 on the Billboard 200 and being certified platinum less than a year after its release, this album’s achievements speak for themselves.

Produced entirely by OutKast and Organized Noize, this project was like none before. Its sound is perfectly described as southern rap. Everything about this album screams Atlanta, from the dialect to the instruments used to the references. The smooth blues and marching band-influenced beats blend with Big Boi and Andre 3000’s flows, creating something new that rippled the tide of an industry saturated with G-Funk or New York Hip Hop.

Both commercially and critically, this album was immensely successful. It peaked at #20 on the Billboard 200 and #3 on the Top R&B/Hip Hop charts. This album was also the reason OutKast received the Best Newcomer Award at the 1995 Source Awards, which, as we all know, was met with controversy. Regardless of the haters, this album came at the beginning of the career of two rappers who changed the game forever.

April 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Shabaka has been a steady figure in the world of new age and jazz for about seven years or so and is highly respected.

That is until this weekend, as Shabaka has just come through with his debut album, Perceive Its Beauty, Acknowledge Its Grace. For this first official LP, he did not cheap out on the features and truly giving this project all of his soul and energy.

For example, the listed features are plentiful. Moses Sumney lands on “Innocence,” one of the three singles for Perceive Its Beauty. Shabaka also went and got Floating Points, rapper E L U C I D, as well as Saul Williams. However, the credits behind the scenes were also a major priority for Shabaka on Perceive Its Beauty. Andre 3000, who everyone knows tried his hand pretty successfully in this same space on New Blue Sun, is listed as a flute performer.

Listen To Perceive Its Beauty, Acknowledge Its Grace By Shabaka

Shabaka spoke with Mojo about creating this album and ditching the saxophone his fans have come to know and love him for. “It’s weird when you come to the end of something musically, it forces you to sharpen up,” he said. “There’s something about knowing this is it – there’s no room for maneuver, it’s your chance to make your statement.” Make a statement he did.

Today In Hip Hop History: Mobb Deep Dropped Their Debut Album ‘Juvenile Hell’ 31 Years Ago

April 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Juvenile Hell was the first album by duo Mobb Deep that paved the path for many other East Coast rappers of their genre, which only a few know preceded their most revered LP, The Infamous.

Dubbed as one of the most acclaimed East Coast rap duos of all time, MCs Havoc and Prodigy came together to release their first album, Juvenile Hell on this day, April 13, 1993. Hailing from Queensbridge Housing projects in New York City, Mobb Deep was rather young when they released their first album, at the early age of 19.

At the time of its’ release, Juvenile Hell wasn’t received on groundbreaking levels. The new sound of the duo was too hardcore for some, very street-oriented, and the album provided one major single entitled “Hit it from the Back”; which peaked at 18 on the Billboard Hot Rap Singles chart that same year. It wouldn’t be until later that Mobb Deep would become a Hip Hop classic and household name. In time they have gained longevity with their sound inspiring practically all other east coast rappers of their caliber. Had it not been for their first album, and their street poetry over tracks produced by the likes of DJ Premier and Large Professor, the map would never have been drawn for much of the major East Coast sound.

RiTchie Delivers His Abstract Debut “Triple Digits [112]”

April 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

With the unfortunate passing of Injury Reserve talent Stepa J. Groggs back in 2020, the alternative trio was sadly split up. After some assuredly hard thinking and tough conversations, rapper RiTchie and producer Parker Corey decided to close that chapter of their musical careers in solidarity. That happened back in July of 2023 and the now duo is referred to as By Storm. With this new regime in place, it means new music. RiTchie has been hard at work with that task since last summer, and now we have his debut album Triple Digits [112].

RiTchie gave us our first of the release back in February with “RiTchie Valens.” Then, just about two weeks later, he would collaborate with the equally fun Amine for “Dizzy.” Finally, he would deliver one last look into in the album with the hallucinating and abstract track “Looping.” The latter adjective is exactly how we would describe this entire listening experience.

Listen To Triple Digits [112] By RiTchie

But it is very on brand with RiTchie and everything By Storm is about. That is unorthodox ideas, flows, beats, and all of the above. With all of these different soundscapes you would think a lot of hands would be all over this project. However, the opposite is true, as Triple Digits has a total of nine producers, including RiTchie and Parker, as well as just 10 writers. It might sound all over the place on the surface, but the album comes together seamlessly.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new album, Triple Digits [112], by RiTchie? What songs are you gravitating toward right now? Who had the strongest guest appearance on the record and why? Do you see him having a successful solo career after this? What is the best song on here? 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 RiTchie and By Storm. Finally, stay with us for the most informative project posts throughout the week.

Triple Digits [112] Tracklist:

Wings [Intro]
