Don Toliver Balances Grungy With Wavy In Visual For “New Drop”

by

Since coming into the game back in 2017, Don Toliver has steadily improved as an artist. Everyone knows how the story goes at this point with the Texas native. He got his big break by landing on Travis Scott’s ASTROWORLD cut “CAN’T SAY,” and since then he’s become a major face of the psychedelic trap subgenre. But after dropping Heaven Or Hell in 2020, Don began to experiment more and separate from being simply a carbon copy of La Flame. He played around with more R&B and soul on his 2023 outing Love Sick, to which some found was a bit of a mixed bag. Still, him branching out was much needed and it seems that it was more realized on HARDSTONE PSYCHO.

The more aggressive and in-your-face style boded pretty well for him across the board. He adopted the biker/metal aesthetic and did a good job incorporating it into the body of work. Overall, it helped this record become his most ambitious yet. Fans rewarded the growth and made it his most commercially successful to date, too. Songs like “TORE UP” and “BANDIT,” which are in that rock vein, are doing numbers to this day. But there are cuts doing the same that call back to his melodic upbringing. “NEW DROP” has become the fan-favorite and it’s one of ours too. The quirky, watery, and atmospheric melodies provided by Don and producers Wheezy, Dez Wright, Psymun, and Bryan Yepes are plain hypnotic. That adjective can be used to describe the visual for “NEW DROP,” which is racking up views right now. The moody aesthetic that’s on the track works its way into the video thanks to the consistent biker theme and dim lighting. Check it out below.

Today, multi-platinum, Grammy, and Golden Globe-nominated artist Wiz Khalifa releases his latest single, “Hide It,” featuring Don Toliver. This new track reunites the dynamic duo following their 2019 hit “Back Up,” which has since garnered over 22 million streams on Spotify. Produced by Cardo, “Hide It” brings together Wiz and Toliver’s signature styles in a track eagerly awaited by fans.

“Hide It” follows Wiz’s recent release “Khalifa’s Home” and is part of his highly anticipated album, Kush + Orange Juice 2, set to release soon. The album is a sequel to Wiz’s iconic 2010 mixtape Kush & Orange Juice, promising to revive the nostalgia and vibe that endeared fans to the original.

The production team for Kush + Orange Juice 2 blends returning talents like Cardo, ID Labs, and Sledgren—key producers from the original mixtape—with fresh input from industry heavyweights including Mike WiLL Made-It, Juicy J, DJ Quik, TM88, Lex Luger, and more. This collaboration of veteran and new producers aims to craft an album steeped in both homage and evolution, celebrating 15 years since the original while delivering new sounds.

Fans can stream “Hide It” now and prepare for Kush + Orange Juice 2, a project that’s set to honor Wiz Khalifa’s classic era with an updated, star-studded twist.

Wiz Khalifa Continues Rollout For “Kush + Orange Juice 2” With Don Toliver-Assisted “Hide It”

by

Wiz Khalifa’s mixtape catalog is held in high regard and one of the reasons why is thanks to his 2010 release, Kush & Orange Juice. It remains as one of the most popular of the last decade and for good reason. It helped put the Pittsburgh native into the limelight and it’s really shaped him into the artist we know and love all of these years after it. Fairly soon, Wiz will be reviving it to some degree in the form of a sequel project, Kush + Orange Juice 2. There’s some speculation that it will arrive sometime in November, but there’s no release date set in stone.

If it does come out before the end of the year, it will be his second LP of 2024. Wiz came through sort of out of nowhere in late July with Wiz Owens. However, there was an indicator that this was a part of his lowkey plans to drop twice. That phase two is now officially Kush + OJ 2, as we already have received “Khalifa’s Home.” Now, he’s back to drop off another offering, this time with a feature. Him and Don Toliver have collaborated once before, with 2019’s “Back Up” being that other occasion. Fans were fairly lukewarm on “Khalifa’s Home,” as some felt he was straying away from what he does best. But “Hide It” may regain some of those skeptics as it a weed-smoking jam if we’ve ever heard one. It’s wavy, melodic, and catchy, and one that Khalifa’s fan base will appreciate.

“Hide It” – Wiz Khalifa & Don Toliver

Quotable Lyrics:

Been here before and gon’ be here and thеy gon’ still love us
This ain’t no ordinary squad, these my rеal brothers
We all share tears together, got bread together
Roll somethin’ up and get my head together
Lay some clothes out and put a fit together
Might go to Harlem for some different weather

TisaKorean Lives Up To The Title Of New Album “In Silly We Trust”

by

TisaKorean doesn’t take himself too seriously. The biggest advantage he has is the willingness to attempt vocal inflections and say things that his peers wouldn’t. It’s the reason his songs go viral, and the reason that the title of his new album, In Silly We Trust, is so fitting. The eccentric rapper dishes out 12 songs in only 21 minutes, knowing good and well that his schtick would wear thin over a typically bloated rap tape. The sparseness of In Silly We Trust not only makes it easier to listen to, but it makes the material that is here all the more potent.

TisaKorean is not one for dense wordplay. He does, have a Playboi Carti-esque gift for vocal melody that makes everything he says sound catchy. It’s anybody’s guess what the rapper is saying on “IEgs In tHe aIr,” but the beat is infectious and the hook is ridiculously smooth. It’s one of the more subdued songs on the album, but its solid execution still allows it to stand out. “SiLlY SuRf,” conversely, is an absurd piece of snap rap that sounds like it was unearthed from a 2006 D4L session. TisaKorean is able to churn out borderline parody songs, and then turn out a genuinely smooth R&B cut alongside Don Toliver on “lOvE LeTtEr.” The man’s got range.

Let us know what you think of this brand new album, in the comments section down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will continue to keep you informed on all of your favorite artists and their upcoming projects.

Yeat Delivers His Most Focused Album To Date With “LYFSTYLE”

by

Yeat is onto something. The rapper broke out in a big way with 2093, and now he’s back with a new batch of songs in less than a year. He confirmed to The Fader that LYFESTYLE was an attempt to lean into his rap side, and now that we have the album, we can confirm this is the case. Don’t worry, the wild rage elements that made Yeat such a sensation to begin with are still here. “SPEEDBALL” and “LYING 5 FUN” are peppered with the frantic synths and Autotuned riffs thats characterized 2093. The thing that helps distinguish LYFESTYLE, though, is the way Yeat plays off his collaborators.

The title track fuses a rage style instrumental with knocking drums more akin to a trap song. This blend of sounds is complimented by Yeat and Lil Durk swapping verses. These two do not really gel on paper, but they sound fantastic together. Don Toliver also shines on “NEW HIGH.” It turns out that Toliver really sounds like his mentor, Travis Scott, when his voice is given the distorted Yeat treatment. “NEW HIGH” has one of the best grooves on the whole album. On the solo front, “SO WHAT” and “GEEK TIME” are showcases for Yeek’s wildest vocal inflections. There’s a lot of music here, and fans are going to love it.

Let us know what you think of this brand new album, in the comments section down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will continue to keep you informed on all of your favorite artists and their upcoming projects.

Yeat Reveals Stacked Features For Upcoming Album “LYFESTYLE”

by

Yeat’s buzz is bigger than ever. The rapper has been steadily building his following up, and refining his sound. LYFESTYLE, his upcoming album, is poised to be his commercial breakthrough, though. All the information we’ve heard surrounding the album has only served to increase the excitement for what’s to come. Yeat recently sat down for an interview with The Fader, and he not only spoke on the sound of the album, but released the list of artists who will feature. It’s about time.

Yeat already released the tracklist for LYFESTYLE, which sits at 21 songs, but the features were initially hidden. It was assumed that we would all have to wait until the album dropped to find out who was on the album, and who wound up on the cutting room floor. Thankfully, Yeat took mercy on us and revealed who will appear. The list did not disappoint. Yeat will have guest features from rap superstars like Kodak Black and Lil Durk. There will also be hooks from Don Toliver and acts like Summrs and Lazer Dim 700. Yeat is known for his rage style, which often blurs genre lines, but he told The Fader that he’s going full hip hop this time around.

Yeat Will Focus On Rap Collabs For His New Album

“LYFESTYLE [is] basically just my normal rap sh*t,” Yeat explained. “It’s not futuristic, it’s not like a whole different world. It’s the most polished I’ve ever came with the rap sh*t.” The features Yeat chose serve to support this narrative. Lil Durk, Kodak and Don Toliver are some of the most conventional rappers that he has worked with to date. Yeat has worked with stars like Drake before, but even then, the 6 God adapted to his rage style. It’ll be fascinating to hear how people like Durk and Kodak sounds on Yeat beats.

Those who prefer Yeat’s more experimental sound needn’t worry. The rapper told the outlet that his next album is already in the works. It will departure from LYFESTYLE in that it will sound like a refined version of 2093. “I don’t know when it’s going to come out, but it’s kind of like 2093,” he noted. “But a lot more refined. We’ve been spending a lot of time creating that sound in tandem with the LYFESTYLE sound for a couple months.” We can’t wait to hear it all.

Lil Tecca Digs Into His Melodic Bag On New Album “PLAN A”

by

Lil Tecca has a deceptively smooth delivery. The rapper has a naturally hooky flow that makes everything he says sound slick. It’s the reason he’s been able to sidestep the one hit wonder allegations and churn out a respectable career since his breakout in 2019. PLAN A may not yield any smash hits on the level of “Ransom,” but it’s an incredibly catchy batch of songs. Lil Tecca wastes absolutely no time showcasing all of his talents on the album opener, “TASTE.” The beat is funky and seductive, while his normal voice gets underpinned by pitched up backing vocals.

Things get a bit harder on the album cuts “120” and “I CAN’T LET GO.” The latter boasts an impressive feature turn from another melody man, Don Toliver. Truthfully, though, PLAN A is at its best when Tecca is focusing on making earworm pop rap. “24HRS” sees Lil Tecca slather his vocals in Autotune with an absolutely hypnotic instrumental accompanying him. “NUMBER 2” is another sing-songy highlight, with the rapper’s flow melding perfectly with the mechanical beat. “NEVER LAST” is arguably the smoothest Lil Tecca has ever sounded on record. PLAN A is a bit long, but the brevity of each track makes it easy to pick out the highlights and keep it moving.

Let us know what you think of this brand-new album, in the comments section down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We’ll continue to keep you informed on all of your favorite artists and their upcoming projects.

Portishead’s Geoff Barrow Calls Out Kanye West And Ty Dolla Sign Over Unauthorized Sample Use On ‘Vultures 2’

Kanye West (Ye) and Ty Dolla Sign surprised fans with their spontaneous release of their latest album, Vultures 2. But the body of work’s arrival isn’t the only thing to shock the public.

Yesterday (August 3), Portishead’s Geoff Barrow was annoyed to learned that the duo sampled the group’s song “Machine Gun” without permission. Over on X (formerly Twitter), Barrow called out the duo for featuring its revered instrumental break on the Vultures 2 track, “Field Trip,” which features Playboi Carti, Don Toliver, and Kodak Black.

“For f*ck’s sake,” he wrote. “Not again 🤷🏼‍♂️.”

Users online chimed in to encourage Barrow to take legal action.

“Dude, you need to sue the f*cker,” wrote one user.

“Jeezus, that’s not even sampling, they just used the entire song for a backing track for some sh*t karaoke. Zero creativity,” penned another.

“Now that’s just a blatant ripoff, and you deserve to be compensated,” added another.

“Make them delete the whole album 💯💯💯,” demanded another.

However, not everyone shared the same sentiments. Fans of Ye, begged Barrow not to take things to court.

“Don’t sue Ye, this song is amazing, let us have it man😭🙏🏻,” wrote one user.

“You should’ve said something after the first listening party it was previewed at bro 😭😭 we finally got the music and now you wanna take it away,” added another.

“Better to ask for forgiveness,” chimed another.

Ye has reportedly already been hit with several copyright infringement lawsuits from past projects, Donda. Even Vultures 1 was surrounded with sample clearance issues (from Donna Summer’s estate to Ozzy Osbourne). But based on Barrow’s response, this is Ye’s second time ripping off his past work. Could this be his legal breaking point?
