Icewear Vezzo Shares 12 New Cuts From His “Live From The 6” Recording Sessions

by

“If you’re competing with me, it’s a waste of time and money. You should save up instead. We don’t want the same things. I’m not running out. I’m not paying attention. Plus, I’m not that fun. #LiveFromThe6 #Two #ComingSoon👿” That was Detroit rapper Icewear Vezzo about three months ago promoting (Part Two) of his 2024 album, Live From The 6. The project, out via Quality Control Music in February, featured DaBaby, Babyface Ray, YTB Fatt, and Chuckie CEO. Vezzo delivered some pretty dark, cutthroat, and earnest tracks about the lifestyle he leads and how it’s a byproduct of his hometown. Across the 13-song project, the 11-year veteran comes across as braggadocious and intimidating, which is pretty on brand.

That quote we mentioned at the beginning probably best describes Live From The 6 and its subsequent hard-hitting sequel, (Part 2). Out today, October 30, the 12 new records keep the continuity alive. Also, given that it’s out on the eve of Halloween, it’s just as perfect on its own for the spooky season. Once again, Vezzo is extremely serious on each record. “Walk Down” with Bankroll Freddie and the epic opener “Musty” are two of the prime examples. We have to applaud his work ethic this year by getting this out just eight months removed from part one. It’s consistent with how he’s been since he burst onto the scene and we love to see him keep that up for himself and his fans.

Polo G Details His Mental State & Past On “S.I.P.”

by

Polo G had his fans impatiently waiting for a new album for three whole years. It didn’t help that a fair number of people weren’t the biggest Hall of Fame apologists either. There was some belief out there that the Chicago rapper and singer was losing some of his touch and drive, to an extent. Given all of that, there was hope that he would get back to quality that was present on THE GOAT and Die A Legend. Unfortunately, when he came back in early August with the highly teased HOOD POET, some were let down due to the lack of chances or updates made to his sound.

The “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” mentality is something Polo G seems to live by and it’s carrying into “S.I.P.” At times, this method works to his advantage, as his hardcore supporters appreciate the lore and his come-up. Both areas are covered on this introspective cut, as talks about his current mental state and how his unstable childhood may have influenced some of the decisions he makes today. With this coming so soon after HOOD POET, there’s some real speculation from Genius and his contemporaries that a 2.0 version could be arriving sometime soon. For now, check out the track on DSPs or wait until 5 p.m. to watch the premiere of its music video.

“S.I.P.” – Polo G

Quotable Lyrics:

I kept f***in’ up, I’m the one that hurt my own feelings
I’m up twenty million, still be tryna go back home killin’
Know these drugs hurt my health, told me, “Quit,” but I don’t listen
High, but I stay to myself, I’m always in my zone, chillin’
Always bound for a set back, fuckin’ with the wrong b****es
Broski fed up, he vent to me, I hear his tone switchin’

Megan Thee Stallion Unveils The Tracklist For “Megan: Act II”

by

Megan Thee Stallion’s MEGAN era was ultimately a very successful one. The Houston rapper, producer, and songwriter moved around 64,000 copies in its initial week. It led to a number three debut on the Billboard Hot 200 chart it spawned several major singles. “Mamushi,” “HISS,” and “Cobra,” are a few of them to rattle off, but she’s not stopping there. Last Friday, October 18, it was revealed that an extension of the project is on the way, and we are extremely close to that happening now.

Megan Thee Stallion will be releasing MEGAN: ACT II this Friday, October 25 and in that previous announcement, she also showed off its Memphis-inspired cover art that was plucked from the 2000s. With us being just two days away from it, the superstar act is looking to build as much anticipation as possible. She’s doing so today by unveiling the tracklist, which is officially a 13-song collection. Given that it’s directly attached to MEGAN, it’s more of sequel, rather than a deluxe.

1oneam Drops Off Deluxe Of “One Life” With “One Death”

by

We are happy to welcome another newcomer to the HNHH site this weekend, as we are taking a look at 1oneam and his new tape, One Death. Not much is available on the rapper, singer, and producer, as he keeps a pretty low profile on his social media pages. He’s been in the underground trap/Pluggnb scenes for the last three years though, so this looks to be just the way he moves in general. He hails from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, which has mostly been dominated by the low-end scene. To the trained ears, you may be able to track down some references to that wave, but 1oneam seems to borrow more from his ATL counterparts.

As we said, we are listening to his new project, One Death, which boasts eight songs of truly rich soundscapes. They range from intoxicating and woozy, to ethereal and dark. He also shows off his creative side on this eight-song tape, as he incorporates random sound effects like on “Facetime” and “Alicia Keys.” On the former 1oneam samples the FaceTime ringtone and works into the whimsical chime-laced beat. Then, on the latter, he heads to the world of Minecraft and uses the door opening and closing sound effect. Even though this is a separate listening experience, it’s also not. According to Genius, this is a deluxe extension of his May album One Life. That tape was 14 tracks but similarly had no features. Give 1oneam and One Death a try with the links below to your favorite DSPs.

Eminem Hasn’t Run Out Of Rhymes Yet On “The Death Of Slim Shady” Deluxe Cut “Like My S**t”: Stream

by

Eminem is still firing on all cylinders in 2024, and took a couple of months to bring the rest of The Death Of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce) to life. Moreover, he just released a deluxe version of the album, the Expanded Mourner’s Edition, with a new “Fuel” remix with Shady Record signees WESTSIDE BOOGIE and GRIP. Also, the Detroit legend officially put his two digital deluxe tracks onto streaming after months of exclusivity, and one of those is the cold-blooded “Like My S**t.”

If you’re curious, the other is “Kyrie & Luka” featuring 2 Chainz. On “Like My S**t,” though, Eminem proves that he hasn’t run out of rhymes in his notebook, flipping turns of phrase and homophones with the same playful cheekiness as always. The beat is a frenetically percussive one, with trill hi-hats, rattling percs, and light but frantic string melodies. Everything else is pretty much within the aesthetic and quality standard you’d expect as far as fast, shifting flows and his trademark irreverence.

Even though many fans expressed disappointment that The Alchemist wasn’t on this new deluxe, “Like My S**t” and the other cuts certainly give Eminem fans a lot to chew on. If you haven’t heard this track yet, find it on your preferred streaming service or check it out on YouTube below. Down there, you can also find some standout bars and the comments section for you to leave your thoughts on the record. As always, come back to HNHH for the latest great rap drops around the clock.

Eminem Fans Let Down By Lack Of Alchemist Beats On “The Death Of Slim Shady” Deluxe

by

Yesterday, Eminem unveiled The Death Of Slim Shady: Expanded Mourner’s Edition. The project boasts two brand-new tracks and a new skit. It even features a remix of “Fuel,” which includes several new and scathing Diddy disses. For the most part, fans are feeling the deluxe edition of Em’s latest album. They’ve been quick to point out, however, that none of the new tracks were produced by The Alchemist.

The Alchemist appeared in the trailer for the Expanded Mourner’s Edition of the LP, which Eminem dropped earlier this week. Of course, this led to speculation that he’d be a contributor, although this was never confirmed. Regardless, some fans are disappointed that the project arrives with no beats by the legendary producer, and questioning why he appeared in the trailer at all.

“Be Eminem’s promotion team: Film a whole trailer with The Alchemist in it, teasing songs produced by him. Proceed to drop one remix of a song that already dropped and two songs that were exclusive [face palm emoji],” one social media user writes. “Bro where is Alchemist production? You keep playing with my emotions,” another says. “@Eminem @rosenberg Why trailer with Alchemist and all that promo for 1 remix ? I don’t understand,” someone else claims.

New music isn’t the only thing Eminem is making headlines for these days, however. Earlier this week, he performed at the VMAs, throwing it back with a recreation of his iconic “The Real Slim Shady” performance from the 2000 awards show. What do you think of The Death Of Slim Shady: Expanded Mourner’s Edition? What about the new additions not featuring production by The Alchemist, despite him appearing in the trailer? Are you disappointed by this or not? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Eminem Goes Scorched Earth On Diddy In New Diss Remix

by

Eminem’s new Expanded Mourner’s Edition of his 2024 album The Death Of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce) doesn’t just contain two new tracks. It also boasts a slightly altered remix of the previously JID-assisted “Fuel,” now featuring Shady Records signees GRIP and WESTSIDE BOOGIE. On it, the Detroit rapper takes more scathing shots against Diddy. “The Notorious B.I.G.’s death was the domino effects of Tupac’s murder,” he raps on his new verse. “Like facial tissue, whose card should I clean next? Puff’s? / ‘Til he’s in police handcuffs, guilty, will he step up / Like gee, never turned himself in, who knows all the murders there’s been? / Or me next up, prepare for me to not choose none of my words carefully.“

This adds to Eminem’s previous Diddy disses on the same song. “I’m like a R-A-P-E-R / Got so many eses (essays), S-As” he rapped on the original version. “Wait, he didn’t just spell the word ‘rapper’ and leave out a P, did he? / R.I.P., rest in peace Biggie / And ‘Pac, both of y’all should be living / But I ain’t tryna beef with him / ‘Cause he might put a hit on me like ‘Keefe D, get him.’“

As far as the Bad Boy mogul, the last update we got on Diddy’s various misconduct allegations was a new sexual abuse lawsuit from Danity Kane singer Dawn Richard. Also, he reportedly lost a $100 million default judgement in a sexual assault case, something that he filed an emergency motion to dismiss over. That’s not even bringing up Keefe D’s current trial for Tupac Shakur’s murder and how his name has been brought up under accusations of murder. All in all, it’s not a very pretty situation. It’s clear that Eminem is doubling down on his strong stance.

Elsewhere, Big Sean recently reflected on working with Eminem on The Death Of Slim Shady after many other collaborations. “I’m happy to be a part of that album as well. For sure, for sure,” Sean told the VMAs red carpet. “It was the first album I bought from Costco with my birthday money. That was way back. To be on The Death of Slim Shady was a full-circle moment.”

Eminem Fans Are Already Anticipating “The Death Of Slim Shady” Deluxe

by

Eminem recently unleashed his new album The Death Of Slim Shady, and already, fans are flooding social media with predictions of what’s to come. Of course, many supporters anticipate a deluxe edition of the project to arrive sooner than later and have a few ideas of who it could feature. “Wasn’t 50 Cent and Dre confirmed they had features on Eminem’s album during the Jimmy Kimmel appearance? @Eminem what you’re up to? Side B all over again [thinking face emoji],” one X user wrote yesterday.

“Pretty sure 50 said they got something coming and they were talking about Em’s album at that point, not sure about Dre though, maybe he was talking about production. Also no Royce on the album is wild, I feel like they worked on several songs in the last few months,” they added in a subsequent Tweet.

Per XXL, Dr. Dre, 50 Cent, and Snoop Dogg appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! in March, when Dre confirmed that Em was working on the album. At the time, he seemingly revealed that he had production on the project. The outlet also notes that there was a version of the album available on Eminem’s official website including two bonus tracks, one featuring 2 Chainz. It appears as though fans will just have to wait and see what else Eminem has up his sleeve. Luckily, they already have plenty to digest with the standard edition of The Death Of Slim Shady. Reactions and responses only continue to roll in, and so far, most fans are impressed.

Armand Hammer Team Up With Benjamin Booker On Lengthy New Track “Doves”

by

Last year, prolific rappers billy woods and E L U C I D teamed up once again as Armand Hammer for a new album called We Buy Diabetic Test Strips. The project was a huge favorite among experimental rap fans and one of the most acclaimed hip-hop records of the year. Now, the pair have returned with a deluxe expansion of the album. The new version dropped on streaming earlier this week and while it only has one additional song, it’s quite a substantial addition.

The track is called Doves and it features singer Benjamin Booker. Booker also co-produced the song alongside regular Armand Hammer collaborator Kenny Segal. Segal actually worked with billy woods on an entire collaborative album last year called Maps in addition to his work on Test Strips. While the pair are no strangers to experimentation this is one of their most out there songs yet. The track spans nearly 9 minutes and a large part of its first half is taken up by an ambient introduction. The track was also dropped alongside an ominous black and white music video. something the pair don’t do often. Check out the full experimental new cut from billy and E L U C I D below.

Earlier this year, Armand Hammer announced a new vinyl-only album. The project was exclusively being released in physical format. It was even further limited by the fact that fans could only purchase it at the duo’s live shows. The increased rarity of the project makes it a sought after collectors item among fans.

What do you think of the new Armand Hammer and Benjamin Booker song “Doves?” Do you think it should have been included on the original tracklist of We Buy Diabetic Test Strips? Let us know in the comment section below.

SZA Teaser Surfaces Online, Fans Call It Out As Fake

by

The hype for SZA’s deluxe version of her acclaimed 2022 album, SOS, is at all-time highs right now. After all, the project’s one-year anniversary is right around the corner, and fans can’t wait for her to finally unveil the teased expansion. However, social media trolls and somewhat skilled photo and video editors know that this is also a great opportunity to get some clicks feeding off of that hype. As such, somebody posted an alleged teaser that the R&B star supposedly posted on Instagram, indicating something dropping or being announced on December 8 of this year. But many fans online went to her page, saw nothing, and knew that someone played them once again.

Of course, fake teases and announcements like these are unfortunately common these days, even if many of them are pretty obvious jokes. Regardless, it got big enough for a significant amount of people to fall into the trap as they wait on official word from SZA. In fact, many might think that it’s a bit odd that there isn’t as much conversation around the deluxe right now. For example, one would think that a slew of Grammy nominations, which recently came out, would be due reason to at least remind folks that a deluxe is on the way.

Regardless, we’re well aware of what’s on the way from the St. Louis native, and will patiently wait for its (likely) release ahead of the awards ceremony. It’s also been great to see how such a great body of work carried her through an incredibly successful, high-profile, and tour-heavy 2023. SZA seems to have capped things off for the year, though, or is at least close to doing so. She was a headliner for Tyler, The Creator’s Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival last week, and to no one’s surprise, she stunned with infectious energy and a tenderly spectacular show.

Meanwhile, with more performances announced to hit stages soon next year, the 34-year-old is showing no signs of slowing down. It’s just a shame that her fans keep getting swindled by other online forces. Even though these situations will continue to pop up, hopefully each instance sees fans identifying the cap faster and faster. For more news and the latest updates on SZA, log back into HNHH.
