Doja Cat & Teezo Touchdown Talk About The Difficulties Of Relationships On “MASC”

April 8, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Doja Cat had fans’ eyes raised when she dropped a trailer last week for an upcoming track on Scarlet 2: CLAUDE. The R&B cut teased the music video along with a secret but familiar silhouette. Massive shoulder pads had people guessing that it was Teezo Touchdown. Those assumptions were right on the money when the deluxe dropped over the weekend. Doja Cat and Teezo’s collab “MASC” is about the complexities of relationships and common issues that can arise.

One selling point of the track is of course these two talents teaming up together for the first time. Both have proven to be very versatile, being able to sing and rap over a variety of instrumentals. “MASC” showcases the first of those two skills, with Doja opening things up with a sticky melody and cadence. “Boy, we way too grown / For this s*** (Mm),” she sings.

Teezo comes in on the third verse and delivers some powerful vocals as well. However, while we feel this a team-up that makes a lot of sense and has its moments, some of the lyrics are little eye-rolling. “Everybody doin’ you like dances up on TikTok… My favorite cup, okay, enough to keep it G,” are just a couple that feel out of place. But it is sure to be one of the favorites from the deluxe, so be sure to hop on the hype train while you can.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new song, “MASC,” by Doja Cat and Teezo Touchdown? Is this the best track on her brand-new deluxe album Scarlet 2: CLAUDE, why or why not? What is your favorite element of the track and why? Is this the best bonus track on the project? Are you preferring this version over the original?

Quotable Lyrics:

Look at me, I’m packing my stuff, I’m ’bout to leave
We breakin’ up, you mean it this time, okay, so do I
Make sure I sweep, I don’t wanna leave my charger and keys
My favorite cup, okay, enough to keep it G
I’m not that tough, I need your love, I need your touch
I need your time, I need your feet cuddlin’ mine (Honey, I need)

Doja Cat & A$AP Rocky Trade Contagious Energy On “URRGE”

April 5, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Today has been one of the best in hip-hop so far in 2024. During this first quarter of the year, we have been treated to some fantastic music and we are very grateful to be in the thick of it. We have gotten out of the blue albums, diss tracks, and releases from some big names. One of those is Doja Cat with “URRRGE!!!!!!!!!!” This is one of the new cuts from the deluxe version of her 2023 album Scarlet. It was a project that saw the California multi-hyphenate go into nearly full rap mode and was a controversial record for many reasons.

This bonus version, Scarlet 2: CLAUDE sees Doja Cat tack on seven new tracks with “URRRGE!!!!!!!!!!” being one of them. What makes this track one to remember is the incredible and fun verse from A$AP Rocky. These two have never worked together, but we are glad they were able to come together here. Some may not see how these two would jive with one another, but the beat selection here matches their styles up perfectly.

Listen To “URRRGE!!!!!!!!!!” By Doja Cat & A$AP Rocky

“URRRGE!!!!!!!!!!” has a similar aura like Rocky’s “S***tin’ Me” or even “Babushka Boi.” The slightly unorthodox trap beat complements the cadence from Doja and the intensity of Rocky’s rapping. We can definitely see these two working again in the near future, and we hope they do. Be sure to check out the deluxe track above.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new song, “URRRGE!!!!!!!!!!,” by Doja Cat and A$AP Rocky? Is this the best deluxe track from Scarlet 2: CLAUDE, why or why not? What is your favorite element of the track and why? Who had the stronger performance on the record? Does this bonus edition successfully supersede the original? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Doja Cat and A$AP Rocky. Finally, stay with us for the most informative song posts throughout the week.

Quotable Lyrics:

Cross that line, it’s a flat-line
And you out of time like a deadline
Somebody gon’ bleed red wine
If a n**** step on my landmine
Hope my guys don’t face (Fed time)
A renaissance god, I’m like Greg Hines

Doja Cat Returns With Deluxe Version Of Album: “Scarlet II: Claude Frollo”

April 5, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Doja Cat is back in the spotlight, and she’s not letting the haters slow her down one bit. Despite facing criticism for nearly everything she does, the California rapper and singer still lets the hate motivate her. In fact, she received criticism for revealing the cover art for her new single “Masc.” Fans quickly took to the internet, with some amusingly mistaking the artwork for “pubic hair” or “sheep’s wool.” However, Doja Cat wasted no time in setting the record straight, urging everyone to move forward and grow while expressing her frustration at the misconceptions.

But, Doja Cat’s cover art revelation for “Masc” wasn’t just any ordinary release. Moreover, it was part of the promotion for Scarlet 2: Claude Frollo, the deluxe edition of her previous album. It’s actually the lead single of the project and features Teezo Touchdown. The project also boasts features from ASAP Rocky. Furthermore, it’s worth noting the inspiration behind the title Scarlet 2: Claude Frollo for those unfamiliar with the reference. Claude Frollo is the antagonist from the 1831 French novel “The Hunchback Of Notre-Dame” and Disney’s animated 1996 film adaptation. In a recent interview on The Therapy Gecko Podcast in February, Doja Cat shed light on why she chose to name the project after this character. She explained, “Because he is like a… is he a tyrant? He’s like a… I feel like it connects to the story of Scarlet in some way. And if you look up his personality traits and who he is and his story, you’ll understand kind of the whole connection.”

Doja Cat continued, “There’s a control aspect, like he just abuses his power and his control and is just dogmatic and is just a total c*nt. And all Esmerelda wanted to do was just be creative and sing and dance, but nasty old Claude Frollo was just having a field day on her, just being awful and a bad guy, stinky man.” This insight provides a deeper understanding of the thematic elements and narrative connections within Doja Cat’s project.

What do you think of the deluxe? Does it enhance the original Scarlet album, or does it fall short of expectations? Fans can rest assured that HNHH will be there every step of the way, providing updates on all things Doja Cat. So stay tuned for more news, and don’t miss out on the latest happenings in the world of music, right here with us.

Doja Cat Shuts Down Fan Over Supposed Cardi B Diss

April 4, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Doja Cat is easily one of the biggest artists in the world right now. Overall, she has crafted some massive hits. Moreover, she has garnered some controversy due to some statements made on social media. For instance, last year she found herself beefing with her fans over their love for her pop hits. Not to mention, she wore a t-shirt with Sam Hyde on it, which led to even more scrutiny. That said, Scarlet was a dope album, and fans ultimately tuned in. In fact, a deluxe version of the album is coming soon.

With this new version of the project coming out soon, Doja Cat has been more active on social media as of late. She has been talking about some of the new songs that are about to come out, and the tracks that she likes the most. In one tweet, she wrote “disrespectful is one of my top 3 fav.” This prompted a response from a fan who said “ok but which one did you whack Cardi B on?” Fans have suspected a Cardi B diss track for a while. However, Doja immediately shut the fan down in their tracks.

SZA Says “Lana” Is “‘Bout To Drop,” While Teasing New Song

March 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

SZA previewed a new song from her upcoming deluxe version of SOS, which she’s been referring to as Lana, on Instagram, Tuesday night. In doing so, she shared a video of herself singing in a tent while stripped down to her underwear. She sings: “F*ck around and die over community d*ck / Never fight over community d*ck.”

Responding to one user who asked about the song “Diamond Boy,” in the comments section, SZA wrote: “On the deluxe I’m Bout to drop.” In addition to excited fans, plenty of fellow artists hopped in the comments to celebrate the upcoming project. Saweetie and JT were among those to praise the snippet.

SZA has been teasing the release of Lana for many months now. Back in December, she explained that the deluxe version of SOS was beginning to feel like its own individual project. “It’s definitely turning into its own album… and I guess I could drop a new album randomly, because no one’s actually expecting that from me right now,” she told Variety. “But I can’t tell if now’s the time to be consistent, or carefree. On the one hand it’s like, ‘What would Beyonce do?,’ but I am also deeply inspired by people who do whatever the fuck they want, like Frank Ocean and Andre 3000. Some of my favorite songs were the ones that I dropped on SoundCloud [early in her career], because it was so stress free.”

Curren$y & Trauma Tone Curate Eight New Songs For “Highway 600 (Deluxe)”

January 27, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Longtime hip-hop veterans Curren$y and Trauma Tone dropped their newest collaboration project, Highway 600. They did so back in the middle of December in 2023. It was a condensed, nine-track project that went light on the features and brought loads of kick back vibes. If you had to conjure up an album that was meant for those easy-breezy nights at the crib, this would be it.

Curren$y was following up three other LPs before this one. It was another busy year for the Lousiana product, as he also squeezed out 14 singles. Some of the highlights from Highway 600 include the Don Toliver cut “Coming Home” and “All F****d Up.” Now, the rapper and producer duo is delivering a deluxe featuring eight new songs.

Listen To Highway 600 (Deluxe) By Curren$y & Trauma Tone

The new format of the tracklist places the newest additions ahead of the originals. Wiz Khalifa also joins the fray for one of many collabs with Curren$y. They do so on the third entry “What She In It For?” What is also changed up is the cover art. Whoever designed the original artwork did a great job, but this new one may fit the vibe of the album even better. The same car finds it way onto the cover, but this time, it is parked in front of a gorgeous sunset with a nice city skyline. Give the new deluxe a listen with the links.

January 20, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Auto-crooner and rapper Lil Tecca came through with his first project in nearly two years with TEC. It followed up his two part series We Love You Tecca from 2021. While the Queens, New York product was not saying or doing anything starkly different compared to previous releases there were a good deal of tracks that stuck. Additionally, there were some notable features.

Tecca brought on Kodak Black for some killer melodies on “HVN ON EARTH.” The vocal chipmunk vocal chops that make up the hook were fantastic. Of course, how can you forget about 500lbs? One of his best songs ever, he busted some terrific flows that just stuck.

Nicki Minaj Recruits Future Again For “Pink Friday 2” LP With Deluxe Banger “Press Play”

January 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The Barbz are continuing to feast. Legendary Trinidadian rapper and singer Nicki Minaj is bringing a new edition of her momentous return album, Pink Friday 2. It had been a little over five years since the 41-year-old phenom’s last project Queen. It is safe to say that Nicki is making up for lost time by bringing extra material, but we are not complaining. Today marks the release of the Pink Friday 2 (Gag City PLUTO Edition).

It follows the Gag City Deluxe which added a 50 Cent version of “Beep Beep” and “Love Me Enough” featuring Monica and Keyshia Cole. PLUTO is a reference to Future’s nickname and he marks his second appearance with “Press Play.” It is the lone addition to this latest expanded edition and it is a straight banger. Also making a return to Nicki’s project is producer ATL Jacob.

Listen To “Press Play” By Nicki Minaj And Future

He continues to make his mark with big-time nod after big-time nod. Jacob brings sped-up piano keys to his familiar glitchy and bassy trap beats. The piano has a similar sound to Pooh Shiesty’s “Back in Blood.” Future brings a repetitive but catchy hook and Nicki has some witty one-liners as per usual.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new song, “Press Play,” by Nicki Minaj and Future? Is this the best deluxe track from any extended Pink Friday 2, why or why not? Is this the better of the two Future collabs from the record? Who had the better verse and why? 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.

I am your label’s obsession, you’s another guinea pig (Oop, ah, oop)
