January 18, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kali Uchis and Don Toliver opened 2024 with a bang, revealing Uchis’ baby bump for the first time. Although the big reveal came as a shock to some fans, they are beside themselves with excitement for the couple. The pair have been together now for a few years, and not only are they great musical collaborators, but also seem to be very romantically compatible. In an industry where breakups are commonplace, healthy and long-standing relationships are always refreshing to see. Kali Uchis has risen through the ranks to become a bonafide R&B darling in her own right while Don Toliver’s emerged as a fresh face of Houston’s vibrant hip-hop scene. Here’s what the pair’s relationship timeline looks like so far.

May-June 2021: Don Toliver And Kali Uchis Appear Together In Two Music Videos

“What You Need,” the lead single from Toliver’s sophomore album, was released on May 4, 2021. A music video for the song dropped on the same day, and Kali Uchis had a surprise appearance in it. While she only made a cameo, the video fueled the rumored romance among their respective fanbases. Then, on June 18, 2021, Don Toliver released “Drugs N Hella Melodies,” the second single from his Life Of A Don album. Featuring Kali Uchis, the song was accompanied by a sexy music video, in which the two appeared as lovers. Much to the delight of viewers, the duo’s effortless musical chemistry successfully translated on-screen. However, even though the visuals were suggestive of a relationship, nothing was confirmed at the time. Nevertheless, fans further speculated that the two were romantically involved.

While fans’ speculations are often advised to be disregarded, it turns out that they hit the jackpot with Toliver and Uchis. Just a month after the “Drugs N Hella Melodies” music video dropped, the rapper confirmed that he was indeed in a relationship with Uchis. Speaking to Maxine Wally of W Magazine, he said, “We’re not crazy public or nothing like that. We just vibe.” When asked about when he and Uchis met, Toliver refused to spill that tea. Regardless, he had revealed enough to confirm that the rumors were true, and that was good enough for most fans.

2023: The Couple Continues To Love Up On Each Other

On March 3, 2023, Kali Uchis’ third album, Red Moon In Venus, was released. The 15-track project contains “Fantasy” featuring Toliver, a love song that addresses their relationship. In addition, when Don Toliver appeared on The Breakfast Club on March 3, 2023, he also shared that he’s never been as invested and present in a relationship as he is with Uchis.

Soon after, on March 6, Don Toliver’s interview with celebrity journalist Nardwuar was published. When Uchis came up in the conversation, the rapper only had good things to say. “She’s amazing. I love her artistry! Her artistry is beyond,” Toliver gushed before going on to promote her new album. Later on, during an interview with REAL 92.3 LA, Kali Uchis shared that she would like to make her own family, and have two kids. “That’s like one of my biggest goals in life,” she said.

Kali Uchis Announces Baby With Don Toliver On New Single & Music Video, “Tu Corazon Es Mio / Diosa”: Stream

January 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

One of hip-hop, pop, and R&B’s favorite couple just dropped a bombshell announcement ahead of a huge release. Moreover, we’re all expecting Kali Uchis’ new album Orquídeas in our hands very soon– in mere hours, in fact, as it drops tomorrow (Friday, January 12). However, ahead of its release, she decided to drop a new dual music video and two tastes of new tracks titled “Tu Corazón Es Mío / Diosa” (Your Heart Is Mine / Goddess) on her YouTube page to get fans excited for the full-length. But the dual single and music video also serves a dual purporse. The Colombian-Virginian singer announced that she is pregnant with her first child, whose father is her boo Don Toliver, and we and the rest of fans couldn’t be more excited for them.

Furthermore, this is exactly the narrative that the “Tu Corazón Es Mío / Diosa” music video portrays. For example, the couple cooks some eggs and other foods together in their opulent house, and it also features home recording footage of the two stars growing up. Eventually, they hit the road and travel through some more lavish set-pieces and locations, while also intercutting footage of their sonogram and other early pregnancy moments. It’s a very engaging visual treatment that follows previous singles for Orquídeas such as “Te Mata” and “Labios Mordidos.” Kali Uchis is clearly bringing us something very special, and we can’t wait to dive into how the album’s themes will connect to this happy news.

Kali Uchis’ “Tu Corazón Es Mío / Diosa”: Stream & Watch The Music Video

Meanwhile, the “Muñekita” star’s new songs sound phenomenal: they contrast each other well between a more traditional ballad and dancehall and reggaetón-inspired rhythms. As always, Kali Uchis’ vocals soar over her chosen instrumentation, and despite the winter cold across much of the world right now, this will heat you right back up. Hopefully Orquídeas contains many more gems like these, something we’d be ready to bet an arm and a leg on. If you haven’t heard “Tu Corazón Es Mío / Diosa” yet, check out the music video above and peep some standout lines below. Also, as always, check back in with HNHH for more amazing music releases around the clock.

Quotable Lyrics (translated from Spanish according to music video’s YouTube description)
Been together a while,
And I know sometimes things get difficult,
For you, I’d do it a hundred thousand times more, for better or for worse,
You know that I’ll always be by your side

How Long Have Don Toliver & Kali Uchis Been Dating?

January 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kali Uchis revealed today (January 11) that she is expecting her first child, as she and Don Toliver have been dating. The reveal might have been a shock to fans, however, who might not have known the two were together, especially without catching some of their public appearances.

Here’s what to know.

How Long Have Don Toliver & Kali Uchis Been Dating?

Toliver confirmed his relationship with Kali Uchis during a July 2021 interview with W Magazine. He discussed the dating rumors, as Uchis appeared in both his “What You Need” and “Drugs N Hella Melodies” videos. In the latter, the two take a bubble bath together as Uchis wears lingerie — which raised the questions.

“We’re not crazy public or nothing like that,” he told the publication. “We just vibe.”

“I already had it in my mind to go out there and shoot a video with her incorporated into it, to make it a real-deal situation,” Toliver added, as they went to Colombia to shoot the videos earlier in the year. He also met her family while out there, but to keep the relationship private, he didn’t reveal much else.

Because of this, Uchis and Toliver had likely been dating at least a bit before then, enough to go to meet her parents.

Check out the couple’s baby announcement below.

The Best Live Music Performances On TV From The Past Week

November 27, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The best musical performances from the past week of late-night TV include sets from Offset, Davido, The National, and more. Uproxx has the rundown below so you can catch up or relive your favorites. Here are the best live music performances on TV from the past week.

Offset & Don Toliver:

Fresh from the release of his second solo album, Set It Off, Offset stopped by 30 Rock to deliver a grooving performance of his song “Worth It” alongside Don Toliver on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon. With the stage reflecting a summery beach setting in contrast to the actual weather outside, the set was much more appropriate for the upbeat single, which samples Busta Rhymes’ “Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Could See.”

Davido:

Speaking of summery songs, there is perhaps no genre as full of them as Afrobeats. One of that genre’s biggest stars, Davido, also hit the Tonight Show stage for an exuberant performance, playing a medley of his songs “Feel” and “Unavailable,” flanked by a pair of joyous dancers and backed by a lustrous, brassy band.

The National:

The Late Show With Stephen Colbert is known for bringing in not just high-profile talent, but also some of the headiest. The National offered a prime example of this tendency with a moody performance of their song “Space Invader” from Laugh Track.

Alec Benjamin:

Rising star Alec Benjamin dropped by Jimmy Kimmel Live! for a soulful performance of “Different Kind Of Beautiful.” The introspective track was complemented by setting the stage as a cozy bedroom, complete with a record player, reading lamp, and even a laptop open to Pro Tools.

Offset & Don Toliver Showed That They’re ‘Worth It’ With A Scorching Performance On ‘Fallon’

November 26, 2023 by newhiphopnews

There are plenty of things “Say My Grace” rapper Offset has to be thankful for, including his beautiful children, wife and fellow entertainer Cardi B, and his hot career. To show his gratitude for his fans’ unwavering support of his latest album, Set It Off, Offset took a trip down to the studios of The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon.

While there, he was sure to bring friend and collaborator Don Toliver to deliver a scorching performance of their track “Worth It.” Toliver and Offset are known for their smooth dance moves, so neither is held back as they work the performance space. To bring some warmth to the otherwise cold New York City Thanksgiving Day holiday (November 23), the pair used a tropical background to warm up the chilly ambiance.

Last month, during an interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe, Offset revealed that in order to push himself out of his creative slump with his album, he thought back on the support he had from his late Migos member, Takeoff.

“Even on my own journey, I still feel his presence and his energy like, bro, ‘We got to go hard. We got to win. We got to win. This ain’t the end of it. We got to win.’ So that’s another thing that pushed me through is my boy, Take[off], man. He didn’t care that he didn’t care about the numbers, nothing. He like, ‘Bro, y’all’s sh*t hard.’ He’s just very supportive in that. I just keep that in the back of my mind and just keep pushing,” said Offset.

Watch the full performance of “Worth It” by Offset and Don Toliver above.

Offset Asked Cardi B For Help On A Song From His New Album

November 3, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Last month, Offset released his new album Set If Off to a substantial amount of hype. The project was met with some positive reviews and even more commercial success. The album sold 70k units in its first week which was good enough for a debut in the top 5 of the Billboard 200. It didn’t fare too bad on the Hot 100 either where two of its high-profile collaborations made their debuts on the chart last week. “SAY MY GRACE” with Travis Scott was the highest debuting song and stuck around for a second week on the chart placing at number 100 this week.

The second track to hit the charts was “Worth It” with Don Toliver. The track is a ladies anthem and for his standout second verse, Offset knew just who to ask. In a new interview he reveals that he went to his wife Cardi B for some suggestions. “I’m gonna call my wife because she’s gonna give me what the girls wanna say,” he says in the interview clip. In the comments of a repost of the video fans praise the wholesome moment. They denounce those online who endlessly hate on Cardi B. Check out the full clip and various fan reactions below.

During an interview last week Offset commented on the declining sales numbers in rap music. He credited the fall to a lack of originality in the genre and even claimed that it was getting boring. “I’m noticing that the no-content music ain’t catching nobody’s ear. I’m noticing that the numbers are down in our genre specifically because I feel like everything is so the same,” he concluded.

Set It Off was Offset’s first new album in 4 years. His second solo project followed Father Of 4 in 2019 and took a similarly lengthy and feature packed approach to assembling its tracklist. What do you think of Offset looking to Cardi B for help making his song “WORTH IT?” Let us know in the comment section below.
