UnoTime Drops His Debut Tape “LUXURIOUS DAMAGE”

April 24, 2024 by newhiphopnews

With new rappers and artists adjacent to the genre every day, everyone is trying to do what they can to make themselves stand out. One name that has been able to do that recently is UnoTime. He hails from Valley Stream, New York and has been releasing music to streaming since 2021. Which is why him gaining some buzz online is all the more impressive. This also our first time discussing any of his material and what better time to do it than on his debut project. LUXURIOUS DAMAGE is the first-ever tape from UnoTime and it comes in the form of an EP.

It is a collection of seven songs with zero features, so Uno is definitely taking a big step in his short career. Additionally, he has only be a feature on four smaller artists projects, making this an even bigger deal. However, UnoTime certainly performs with confidence and a lot of energy on LUXURIOUS DAMAGE. Based on what we hear, he has similar vibes to a KILLY, for example.

His beat selection is very trap inspired and he rocks a high-pitched, auto tuned delivery. He mixes rapping and singing pretty effectively, so if you enjoy that style, this might be the tape for you. Tracks that are standing out to us right now are “Crash Out!” “Luxurious Damage,” and “Flex!” Be sure to check out the tape with the links above.

Future & Metro Boomin’s “We Don’t Like You” Debuts Atop Billboard 200

March 31, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Future and Metro Boomin’s new collaborative album, We Don’t Like You, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart with 251,000 equivalent album units. The figure marks the most successful sales week for any music project thus far in 2024.

When XXL shared the news on Instagram, fans celebrated the success of their favorites in the comments section. “It was a good body of work no doubt,” one fan wrote. “I’m a fan of all the ones beefing so we getting good music overall!! Ion know none of them personally so ain’t no side choosing lol…just give us some [fire emoji] tracks.” Another added: “Metro has separated himself from any other beat maker or producer in dis album …and FURURE did his thing as always…” Others credited Kendrick Lamar’s feature on the chart-topping track, “Like That,” for the project’s overall success. “Only thing I hear about that album is Kendrick diss. I thought it was a EP,” one user wrote.

As for that Kendrick Lamar verse, the iconic rapper disses both J. Cole and Drake with his lyrics. “F*ck sneak dissin’, first person shooter, I hope they came with three switches… Think I won’t drop the location? I still got PTSD/ Motherf*ck the big three, n***a, it’s just big me/ N***a, bum, what? I’m really like that/ And your best work is a light pack,” he raps at one point. Cole and Drake previously collaborated on a song titled “First Person Shooter.” Lamar also references Drake’s For All The Dogs.

March 26, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Future and Metro Boomin’s new song, “Like That,” featuring Kendrick Lamar is heading for a No. 1 debut on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. In turn, it would mark the biggest rap debut on the chart since summer 2020. The track is included on the duo’s new collaborative album, We Don’t Trust You.

Lamar made headlines with his verse on the track for dissing both J. Cole and Drake. “F*ck sneak dissin’, first person shooter, I hope they came with three switches… Think I won’t drop the location? I still got PTSD/ Motherf*ck the big three, n***a, it’s just big me/ N***a, bum, what? I’m really like that/ And your best work is a light pack,” he raps.

Drake seemingly addressed the diss during a stop on his It’s All A Blur – Big As The What? tour. “A lot of people asking me how I’m feelin’,” he said on stage. “I got my head up high, my back straight. I’m 10 f**king toes down in Florida or anywhere else I go. And I know no matter what there’s not a n***a on this Earth that could ever f**k with me in my life.” Drake is performing on the tour alongside J. Cole. The two previously collaborated on their own song that topped the Hot 100 chart with “First Person Shooter,” which Lamar references in his verse. Cole also contributed to Drake’s Scary Hours Edition of For All The Dogs track, “Evil Ways.”

Metro Boomin & Future To Top The Charts

Lamar isn’t the only guest on We Don’t Trust You to be catching attention. The Weeknd, Travis Scott, Playboi Carti, and Rick Ross also collaborated on the project. Be on the lookout for further updates on Metro Boomin and Future on HotNewHipHop.

Nicki Minaj Nabs Another Record-Breaking Achievement With “Big Foot”

January 31, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Nicki Minaj’s new Megan Thee Stallion diss track is doing very well, and if nothing else, at least this beef is bringing these femcees a lot of commercial success. Moreover, the Trinidadian MC recently took to social media to bask in her latest broken record. “Big Foot” officially claims the biggest Spotify debut for a solo song from a female rapper in 2024. “O….my… I’m really happy about breaking this record, you guys,” she captioned a new Instagram post celebrating the accolade. “This is SOOOOOOOOOOO unbelievable, yo. THANK YOU. LOVE YOU. #PinkFriday2 #BigFoot. Dear #BARBZ, you are loved & adored & appreciated & admired & absolutely amazing. I’m not even kidding I love you & thank you so much. If you only knew.”

However, in the comments section of this post, you will see a lot of people trashing Nicki Minaj’s “Big Foot,” as well as plenty of praise. Still, a lot of the most engaged-with comments are about how this song is disappointing or about how she’s crashing out. While we can’t make these judgements this early into the spat, it’s fair to say that these sides manifested well before either artist chose to attack on wax. As such, it’s hard to find a corner on the Internet where there isn’t equal parts love and hate for the two, and since we’re talking about rap beef, neither rapper should lament that.

But the question still stands: who’s winning, Nicki Minaj or Megan Thee Stallion? The latter still hasn’t responded to the former with a song, which might be an automatic loss for many. Regardless, there are also plenty of people who think the Houston hitmaker won outright with her “Megan’s Law” line, even if that also brought up its own controversy around its namesake’s history and Meg’s use of it. Let us know what you think on that debate down in the comments below.

Meanwhile, we’re sure both superstars will continue to celebrate the success of their tracks, but the fan jury’s still out. It’s been 24 hours without an apology from Megan to her mother, and the Barbz’s leader still hasn’t made “s**t uglier than KenBarbie” as threatened. Will we ever wrap this up in a nice bow or is this where the buck stops? To find out, log back into HNHH for the latest news and updates on Nicki Minaj.

Lyrical Lemonade Unveils “All Is Yellow” Tracklist With Features From JID, Jack Harlow, Dave, Kid Cudi, And More

January 15, 2024 by newhiphopnews

2024 looks to be the year of grand proportions. After a fairly quiet 2023, especially in terms of mainstream artists, they look to be making up for lost time. Everyone is popping out for January. We have just received projects from 21 Savage, Kid Cudi, and singles from tons of key players. Lyrical Lemonade is joining the party in just a couple of weeks now. The media and music company headed by the ever-so-talented Cole Bennett will be dropping their debut project. It is due on January 26 and will feature some immense talent.

We have already gotten plenty of stellar singles such as “Stop Giving Me Advice,” with Jack Harlow and Dave and “Doomsday” with Juice WRLD and Cordae. However, those are just a few of the stars that will be on All is Yellow. According to HipHopDX, Lyrical’s X account unveiled the tracklist and it is stacked to say the least. Here is who you can hear on it.

All Is Yellow Is Dropping On January 26

Right off the bat, we can expect a wild banger to open the album. Sheck Wes, Ski Mask the Slump God, and JID will appear on “Fly Away.” Chief Keef and Lil Yachty will collaborate in what should be a fun experiment on “Say Ya Grace.” However, the most unique mix of talent has to be on “First Night.” That is going to feature Teezo Touchdown, Juicy J, Cochise, Denzel Curry, and Lil B. Hopefully that all comes together because that has the potential to be great. Other notable mentions include Eminem, BabyTron, G Herbo, Latto, Swae Lee, and Aminé.

What are your thoughts on the Lyrical Lemonade album All is Yellow tracklist? Will this be one of the best albums of the year, why or why not? Will one of the singles be the best song or will a new track be the highlight? Who will deliver the best performance on the project? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your hottest takes in the comments section below. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Lyrical Lemonade and All is Yellow. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on around the music world.

Nicki Minaj Goes No. 1 With “Pink Friday 2”

December 17, 2023 by newhiphopnews

To absolutely no one’s surprised, Nicki Minaj’s new album Pink Friday 2 had a great first-week debut on the Billboard album charts. Moreover, according to new metrics from Chart Data, the project is set to sell 222K units in this timeframe, placing it at the No. 1 spot on the charts. She must be very happy with this outcome, regardless of whether or not she believes in the power of angel numbers. Other placements on this week’s album chart are also unsurprising: Taylor Swift (thrice in the top 10), Drake, Morgan Wallen, SZA, and so on. Congrats to the Trinidadian MC for closing out 2023 with another No. 1 hip-hop LP, one of the few we got this year.

Furthermore, she is showing no signs of slowing her roll down in the near future. In fact, Nicki Minaj recently teased a long-anticipated spectacle for her Barbz, one that’s been in the works for a while. But she kept things clear and optimistic when relaying that she’s still hard at work on her documentary. Considering the 41-year-old’s massively impactful career and her staggering trajectory, such a tale should be a compelling look into this success.

On the other hand, she is also getting ready for her world tour in 2024, something that the Barbz have begged for incessantly for a long, long time. Finally, it seems like Nicki Minaj is ready to fully embrace the stage once again, fueled by this newfound wealth of material. Of course, we would expect her to run through her stacked catalog of hits too, but to see her in a new era is the most exciting of these prospects. If you’re thinking about buying a ticket, act fast; we’d only expect them to get tougher to purchase from here on out.

Meanwhile, what remains to be seen now is whether the “Let Me Calm Down” hitmaker landed a No. 1 song on the charts. With a couple of different smashes to choose from, it would be pretty interesting to see which one lands on top from all the tracks on Pink Friday 2, even if it doesn’t nab the highest placement. Let us know your predictions on that end in the comments section down below. Also, stay logged into HNHH for the latest news and updates on Nicki Minaj.

Nicki Minaj is easily one of the biggest artists in rap. Overall, her place in the genre’s history is cemented. Many see her as the greatest woman MC of all time, and it is a fair assessment. She has dropped a couple of classic albums, and to this day, fans are obsessed with her biggest singles. Last Friday, Nicki dropped off her latest album, Pink Friday 2. This is a sequel to her debut, although in name only. The new album does not sound anything like the original Pink Friday, but we digress.

So far, the album has been getting an interesting response from fans. Some adore it, but many others are a bit upset at the direction. After all, they were expecting a lot more pop than we ended up getting. Either way, Nicki is very happy with her album and she is still adding songs to it, every day. Furthermore, the album is set to chart extremely well. As we all know, Nicki has always been an artist who can top the charts with ease. According to Hits Daily Double, that is exactly what she is going to do with her new project.

Nicki Minaj Back On Top

The album is going to sell around 200K units, and that will be enough to hit the number one spot. In the tweets below, you can see that a lot of her biggest supporters believe the numbers could be bigger. Essentially, they are all trying to lock in and get her to even more streams. After all, Minaj is someone who has a pretty large fanbase, and her Stans are committed to making her the highest-selling artist out there.

Drake’s “For All The Dogs” Is His 13th No.1 Album On Billboard 200

October 15, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Earlier this month, Drake finally unveiled his eagerly-awaited new album, For All The Dogs. The Canadian performer had been teasing the project for some time, and fans couldn’t wait to hear what he had in store for them. As expected, it’s gotten mixed reviews now that it’s arrived. Regardless, it’s become one of the biggest releases of the year. The project includes various high-profile features from J. Cole, Yeat, SZA, Lil Yachty, and more.

In its first week, For All The Dogs sold 411K album-equivalent units. This marked Drake’s biggest debut since his 2021 LP, Certified Lover Boy. It was also one of the biggest opening days of the year for a hip hop release on Spotify, coming in just behind Travis Scott’s Utopia. The day it dropped, the new album garnered roughly 108.7 million streams. It was the seventh largest opening day for any release in Spotify history.

Drake’s Success Continues With For All The Dogs

Now, it’s been reported that For All The Dogs has taken the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200. This is far from the first time one of his albums has come out on top, however. He’s had 12 other albums hit No. 1 the Billboard 200 previously. Honestly, Nevermind, Certified Lover Boy, Her Loss with 21 Savage, and more also debuted at No. 1.

Though it’s clear that the project has been a commercial success so far, not everybody’s been impressed. Joe Budden, for example, share his thoughts on his podcast and claimed that Drake needs to be taking his music in a more mature direction. This prompted a response from the hitmaker, who fired back with a heated and lengthy message on Instagram. What do you think of Drake’s For All The Dogs becoming his 13th No. 1 album on the Billboard 200? How are you liking the new project so far? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates on Drake.

Natalia Bryant Reps Versace In Her First Runway Appearance

September 23, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Natalia Bryant is kicking off her runway career in style, as she graced Versace’s latest fashion show with an appearance. Moreover, the 20-year-old might be enrolled at the University of Southern California, but it’s clear she’s got plenty of ambition to walk across both worlds. Sure, she still faced accusations of nepotism and criticism of her walk itself, but the young have to start somewhere and take advantage of their opportunities to really make it. In a social media post commemorating the occasion, Kobe’s daughter expressed a lot of gratitude for the people that made it happen.

“VERSACE!!” Natalia Bryant wrote on Instagram. “Grazie Mille!! Still feels like a dream. I am beyond honored and grateful. Thank you @donatella_versace @versace. Thank you to @piergiorgio @dmcasting @patmcgrathreal @guidopalau @imgmodels.” What’s more is that this isn’t the only big-name entertainment route that she’s pursing. She’s also worked a lot with Beyoncé for her Ivy Park campaigns, and most recently as an intern for her RENAISSANCE World Tour. With this experience in mind, we have no doubt that she’ll continue to expand her reach and has plenty of choices to make moving forward.

Still, the shadow of her father and sister Gianna’s tragic loss looms large, but Natalia, her mother Vanessa, and her little sisters Capri and Bianka are getting through it together. Recently, Natalia Bryant gave a heartwarming speech at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood during a ceremony for the basketball star. “I’m honored to be here today to recognize the man we all knew and love, my dad, Kobe Bryant,” she expressed. “When most people knew him as a basketball player or storyteller, I got to know him and love him as my dad.

“Let me tell you, he’s the MVP of girl dads, to say the least,” Natalia continued. “As you visit here for years to come, I encourage you to place your hands in his and take a moment to stand in his shoes.” Surely, she and the Bryant family will keep his legacy alive for decades to come.

Jeezy Recalls How Jay-Z Hopped On “My President” & Their Wild Live Debut

September 14, 2023 by newhiphopnews

It’s not always that an artist gets to hear a remix of their song live for the first time alongside a lot of fans. Still, that’s exactly what happened to Jeezy when it comes to his track “My President,” which has a killer Jay-Z feature on the remix. Moreover, the trap pioneer recently stopped by NFL MVP Cam Newton’s Funky Friday Podcast earlier this week. During their conversation, he told the story of how Hov really wanted to be on that beat and how they got those gears turning. In fact, the Atlanta legend was incredibly surprised when the New York rapper got on stage and performed his verse- which his collaborator had never heard prior.

“I remember Jay-Z called, he was like, ‘Yo man, I need to put a verse on that ‘My President,’” Jeezy began. “I ain’t heard the verse, we in the club and I’m performing the song, the music stops. He start rapping the verse I’ve never heard in the club in front of everybody and they’re going cr*zy. I’m just sitting up there I looked at my man like, ‘I told you! I told you!”

Jeezy On Funky Friday

“My President” appeared on Jeezy’s fifth studio album The Recession, which he also called his best. As far as how Jay-Z entered the picture, that’s actually because of, well, a president. The Snowman and the Roc mogul were at Washington, D.C.’s Love Nightclub in January of 2009 to celebrate President Barack Obama’s inauguration, which is where Mr. Carter debuted his verse. The energy in that room must’ve been electric for many different reasons. Few collabs have such a specific and meaningful context behind them.

Still, the 45-year-old did it all for the love of the game; he’s making his money elsewhere. In a recent interview with Forbes New Money, he spoke on how his business ventures outside of rap, like food and liquor (not the Lupe Fiasco album), got him some bags. It’s something that the two lyricists can share, actually, and hopefully there’s another stellar link-up on the way. On that note, stay logged into HNHH for more news and the latest updates on Jay-Z and Jeezy.
