Bryson Tiller Successfully Experiments With Drill On “Ciao!”

April 8, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Bryson Tiller has made an incredible return with his new self-titled LP. It marks his first record since 2020 with A N N I V E R S A R Y, essentially a sequel to T R A P S O U L. Both projects established his sound, which involved slow and sensual R&B with some callbacks to the 90s. With Tiller taking a large break in between albums there was a good chance that a new sonic direction was inbound. That turned out to the be case and its been paying dividends. Bryson Tiller has been winning fans over with this record, partially because of tracks like “Ciao!”

This song sees one of the many times that he experiments with a new subgenre. In this instance, Bryson is trying his hand with drill music. For us and many others, it works out for him. “Ciao!” is about Tiller moving on from toxic people, but it is mainly targeted at women. “You got a two-day trial before I take back my time and make you pay Thirty-day trial before I make my mind that it’s a waste (Yeah),” he sings on the chorus.

The beat is also a great part about this track. A few different creative minds were a part of this banger, including the album’s executive producer Charlie Heat and FNZ. With drill, the beats tend to be darker in tone. However, the instrumental is more colorful and light-hearted in a sense with trumpet sections. It comes across as a nice contrast seeing and gives off a triumphant tone as Bryson cuts ties with this woman he is over. Be sure to check it out with the link above.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new song, “Ciao!” by Bryson Tiller? Is this the best track on his brand-new album Bryson Tiller, why or why not? What is your favorite element of the track and why? Is this the best track on the project? Where do you rank this album in his catalog? Do you like Tiller on drill beats?

Quotable Lyrics:

She don’t want Hallmark, she want Amex and I’m inclined

Took a month to make it to my lobby, it can’t be prime (Nah)
Return policy, she can’t be mine (Nah, nah)

BabyDrill Asks “What’s The Ticket” On New Single & Music Video: Stream

January 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

BabyDrill might be one of the hottest names in the game in 2024, and it looks like he wants to kick things off strong. Moreover, he just released a new single and music video, exclusively on YouTube at press time and not on streaming services, titled “What’s the Ticket.” Furthermore, it follows previous singles like “Watchin Now” and other big moments from the rapper’s breakout 2023, which hopefully translates into better material moving forward. This new cut is a solid indicator of that reality, displaying his penchant for warbled but charismatic flows. Not only that, but the Atlanta MC makes sure to pace himself appropriately throughout his verses to break up their progression.

Meanwhile, the instrumental on “What’s the Ticket” is a dark and menacing one with ghostly synth pads, a very faint and simple melody building off of them, and a hardened Southern trap drum pattern. It doesn’t evolve or go in any significantly new direction, so you know it’s meant to emphasize BabyDrill’s verse and wordplay. On that front, his lines are more vivid and impactful than anything else, but he still has sharper ones in the bag. “The city full of lollipops, stay away from suckers,” the “WHAT’S THE MOVE?” spitter warns after the first chorus. With eclectic ad-libs, lyrical focuses on street proficiency and larger success than his rivals, and a very light additional synth melody for the chorus, this song will make you feel untouchable on a late night drive.

Meanwhile, it will be exciting to see where DelQuristo Wilson goes from here considering his career, particularly his collaborative history. He crafted the banger “Issa Party” in support of Latto last year and also popped out on Young Nudy’s “Duntsane” in 2022. Hopefully this knack for chemistry and team-ups is a skill that keeps going up as this year draws on. If you haven’t heard BabyDrill’s “What’s the Ticket” yet, check out the music video above and peep some standout bars down below. Also, as always, check back in with HNHH for more great music releases around the clock.

Quotable Lyrics
Hold on, all them n***as dead,
Whoever spoke on my brother, whoever spoke on me instead,
Whoever dissed the gang, whoever went against this s**t,
Who ever claim they bigger? Swear to God they acting kid, that’s on my momma

Lil Mabu Defends Fivio Foreign Collab, Disproves “N-Word” Controversy

December 29, 2023 by newhiphopnews

“TEACH ME HOW TO DRILL” by Lil Mabu featuring Fivio Foreign is the most self-aware track the white drill rapper’s done so far. In it, he acknowledges his privilege and lack of connection to the genre he plays in with one of its leaders in the New York scene right now. It’s an overall cheeky track to varying degrees of success, but at least the Upper East Side native’s leaning into it rather than trying to come off more hardened. However, this collaboration also addresses the “N-word” and how Mabu can’t say it, which prompted Fivio to “say it for him,” as they rap. Since his line and the B.I.B.L.E. artist’s ad-libs appear so close to one another, many thought that he actually said it.

Then, Lil Mabu acknowledged outlets reporting this as such and asked fans to defend him. “Someone please defend me [raised white fist emoji],” he commented under one of these posts. Of course, a couple of fans did, but it’s funny how a simple Genius search (or just listening to the song) could’ve avoided this conversation altogether. You can watch their music video below and call judgement for yourself; at least it’s definitely better than the material Mabu blew up with.

Furthermore, this is far from Lil Mabu’s first experiences with hot tracks, controversies, or making strides in the wider rap world. For example, he and Chrisean Rock linked up for “MR. TAKE YA B***H,” which actually ended up charting and finding a lot of success among listeners. In addition, this also involved the Baddies star’s ongoing feud with her ex and baby daddy Blueface, with which Lil Mabu also sought some smoke. In fact, there were even rumors that Mabu and Rock were dating, although that seems to have gone nowhere as of writing this article… if it was ever real.

Meanwhile, Fivio actually dropped plenty of other material for this holiday season. One of those is a classic flip of the track “Last Christmas” with Lil Tjay, which gives the Wham! original a nice drill spin. We’ll see if these artists’ next releases cause a similar gut reaction from listeners about the authenticity and respect of their craft. For more news and the latest updates on Fivio Foreign and Lil Mabu, log back into HNHH.

Lil Mabu Teams Up With Fivio Foreign On “Teach Me How To Drill”

December 22, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Lil Mabu is someone who has been making a whole lot of noise as of late. Overall, he is someone who is known for making drill songs. He is also extremely young and the origins of his rap career are dubious. There are all sorts of rumors about him going to a private school and using his wealth to buy studio time. However, the true origins of Mabu remain a mystery to the vast majority of his fans. In their eyes, it doesn’t matter. All they want is some music to rage out to.

After a collaboration with Chrisean Rock, it is clear that Mabu wants to step his game up. Subsequently, he has found himself next to Fivio Foreign, who is a giant of the New York drill scene. Below, you can find the music video for their song “Teach Me How To Drill.” As it turns out, this entire concept is based on Mabu being in school, and Fivior being his drill tutor. It is a unique concept that is certainly also a novel one.

Lil Mabu Continues His Run

As for the song itself, it is a fiery drill beat that a lot of fans are going to be excited about. Overall, Mabu and Fivio deliver spirited performances. They trade bars on every verse, and it is mostly because Fivio says the N-word for Mabu on numerous occasions. Sometimes, the song borders on bad taste, but that has always been Mabu’s M.O.

What do you think of this collaboration between Lil Mabu and Fivior Foreign? Is this in good taste or do you think Mabu is making a mockery of drill? Let us know your takes, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will keep you informed on all of your favorite artists and their upcoming releases.

Quotable Lyrics:

Baby, welcome to the hood (Hood)
If you with us, you good (You good)
Yeah, Stichy (Stichy), huh, woo’d up (Woo’d up)
Backpack full of rulers
Yeah, I got a white shooter, huh (I do)
And no, I ain’t shootin’ no schools up (He not)
Yeah, I feel like the drill tutor (I do)
Wait, can I do a hit on a scooter? (Grrt, baow)

Fivio Foreign Drops Off New Anthem “Why Would I?”

October 6, 2023 by newhiphopnews

New York’s very own Fivio Foreign returns to the scene with new music. He’s been a prominent voice in the drill movement, and also has proven just how versatile he can get with his music. In his new song, “Why Would I?” Fivio is questioning why he should care about people’s opinions, especially on the internet. Within the new track “Why Would I?,” Fivio Foreign takes a reflective stance, questioning the significance of people’s thoughts, particularly those expressed on the internet. In an era where social media and online platforms often amplify voices and judgments, the rapper raises the essential question: Why should he lend an ear to the noise of the internet?

Set against a dynamic drill beat, Fivio delivers his verses with a compelling blend of confidence and contemplation. In addition, Fivio Foreign also directs his attention toward his “opps.” He asserts that despite the bravado and threats made by his rivals, he rarely encounters them in real-life situations. This assertion is evident in his lyrics: “All n****s do is go live on the internet, lyin’ and chugglin’.” In essence, Fivio Foreign is calling out the bluff of those who resort to talk online but fail to back up their words with actions in the physical world.

Fivio Foreign Calls Out His Opps

Moreover, Fivio is clearly speaking to people who talk a lot online but never do anything in person. “None of these n****s is savage,” Fivio raps on the beat. “None of these n****s pop out to my shows and I’m always postin’ up the address.” The release of “Why Would I?” underscores Fivio Foreign’s ability to blend his own commentary with the gritty energy of drill music. His willingness to address relevant topics and challenge the authenticity of online personas is a good sound for him. As Fivio Foreign continues to navigate the music landscape, “Why Would I?” serves as a reminder of his commitment to staying true to his artistry. It is a testament to his growth as an artist who is unafraid to tackle complex themes within the context of the drill genre.

However, as he continues to make his mark in the music industry, Fivio Foreign’s authenticity and lyrical prowess remain key elements of his evolving artistry. Fans can only anticipate what’s next from him. Did you check out the song? What are your thoughts on Fivio’s new music? Let us know in the comments below! Stay tuned to HNHH for more music news.

Quotable Lyrics:

I been through the most (I been through the most)
Why would I trip over internet posts? (Why would I?)
Yeah, yeah (Look)
Why would I stop when I’m in that Ghost? (Why would I? Skrr)
Huh, why would I let niggas get too close? (Why would I?, yeah, why would I?)

Digga D Uploads Chilling Video Of Alleged Murder Attempt Against Him

September 15, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Digga D recently took to social media to share just how close his alleged recent close brush with death was. Moreover, the U.K. MC uploaded two pictures and a video that seem to depict an attempt on his life, and it’s chilling footage all things considered. One of these includes a video that quickly cuts out after you hear shots ringing out from outside the vehicle. In addition, Digga posted pictures of a Mercedes Benz SUV with bullet holes in it, showing presumed evidence of the attack. “Cherish God More,” he wrote as his post’s caption alongside a prayer hands emoji, acknowledging how lucky he is to have escaped harm’s way.

Considering the violent subject matter of much of the drill scene in the region, stories like these don’t get any less scary. It also came at what should be a celebratory time in the London rapper’s life, as he just released his album Back To Square One in late August. This new footage from Friday (September 15) shows that things could’ve taken a very nasty turn. Fortunately, it seems like the 23-year-old is safe and sound, and he elaborated on the experience on his Instagram Story.

Digga D Shares Haunting Murder Attempt Footage

A post shared by Digga D (@pyr3xliving)

“What soldier you know goes to war & don’t get shot or shot at,” Digga D wrote on the social media platform. “Most these punk uk rappers have experienced it & are embarrassed to talk about it cause they don’t stand on business! They rather just show u the good side. I’d rather show you the Real side. Remember death is a place of no return. Don’t go out wrong trying to impress a bunch of people that will forget about you. Whatever religion you are, keep praying no matter what Cherish God More CGM.”

Meanwhile, the “G Lock” artist might be moving away from this violent lifestyle, at least artistically. Recently, he declared that he was done with drill, and teased a more dancehall-inspired cut to shift gears. With this in mind, no matter what musical route he takes, we hope that he doesn’t face more situations like these. For more news and the latest updates on Digga D, keep checking in with HNHH.

Sleepy Hallow & Marshmello Join The “GBG” On New Single

August 13, 2023 by newhiphopnews

No one hears “Sleepy Hallow” and thinks EDM, the same way that no one hears Marshmello and thinks “Brooklyn drill.” But what’s great about these genres is that they work so well with so many others, and with each other, you can get a catchy and faithful song to its roots. Moreover, the two artists just released the new single “GBG,” which features a high-pitched vocal sample that sounds like the lead-up to a progressive house drop of sorts. However, the song is firmly planted in New York drill territory, as the Flatbush MC always does with his hard-hitting material. While it might not be a new take on the genre or anything outside of either’s traditional comfort zones or skill sets, it makes for a pretty straightforward and instantly satisfying cut.

Furthermore, a great deal of that satisfaction comes from the fact that Sleepy Hallow stays on a consistent flow and locks into the beat smoothly. His voice propels the whole thing, rendering the chipmunks lead melodic vocals to a simple background addition to the main draw. “GBG” also benefits from a seamless verse-chorus-verse structure, where the 23-year-old’s bars are what moves one section of the track to the next rather than a melodic or instrumental switch-up. Sure, it might not be the most elaborate structure, but it’s a clear and righteous effort to spotlight Hallow’s presence on this song. He’s a leader in his scene, and one that’s unfortunately had a lot of time in his career cut short by external issues.

Sleepy Hallow’s “GBG” With Marshmello: Watch The Music Video

Meanwhile, for those unfamiliar with Marshmello, this is far from the first time that the EDM giant has crossed over into the hip-hop or R&B space. Just this year, he released the bubbly Brent Faiyaz collaboration “Fell In Love,” and will likely continue to expand his credits in the future. These two certainly set themselves up as a potentially consistent and chemistry-filled collaboration for the future. If you haven’t heard “GBG” yet, find it on your preferred streaming service and check out some notable lyrics below. Also, stay up to date on HNHH for more news on Sleepy Hallow and Marshmello, and for more great music each week.

Quotable Lyrics
Yeah, I’m good, she proud of my drip,
She said she adore my Dior kicks,
F**k a Uber, you gotta get Lyft,
In the air, that’s an opp in a spliff

Stormzy Locks In With Fredo On “Toxic Trait”

June 23, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Stormzy remains a leading figure in the UK rap scene, although he’s shown that he’s much more than an MC. Since his debut album, Gang Signs & Prayers, his appreciation for gospel and soul music have trickled through his catalog but none more than on 2022’s This Is What I Mean. The majority of the project found Stormz’ in a plaintive space but fans hoped that he’d come through with some bangers.

It seems that he listened to the fans and slid through with some new heat this week. The rapper came through with the release of his new single, “Toxic Trait” ft. Fredo. Produced by Dave Santan, who recently dropped off his joint project with Central Cee, Stormzy and Fredo deliver a blistering banger that finds them showcasing their lyrical tenacity on wax. Hopefully, it signals that a follow-up to This Is What I Mean come soon.

Stormzy & Fredo Deliver A Banger

A large part of the record revolves around Stormzy’s growth throughout his career. Emerging into the rap game in his early 20s, he recently reflected on his maturity as he approaches his 30s. “There’s a difference between doing music at 22 and when you’re about to turn 30,” Stormzy recently told Dazed Magazine. “It’s the kind of peace and stability and stillness you can only get from maturity. You lose all the nervous shivers and the anxiety; you shake it off because now you’re a grown man coming into your skin.”

As for Fredo, the UK rapper came through with a few new records this year including “Everybody Knows.” His last album Scorpion dropped in 2022 and he also came through with a couple of features. Dave, on the other hand, is getting deeper into his production bag. Along with collaborating with Central Cee on Split Decision, he also contributed to the majority of the production on the project. Press play on Stormzy’s new single above and sound off with your thoughts in the comments.

Quotable Lyrics
Tell Gretta to ‘llow me
I know that my carbon footprints large
The Urus drinks, I still wear minks
We brought on weed, The PJ stinks

Sheff G And Sleepy Hallow And 30 Other Alleged Gang Members Were Indicted On Conspiracy Charges

May 17, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Brooklyn drill rappers Sheff G and Sleepy Hallow are among 32 people facing 140 charges in a New York criminal conspiracy indictment, according to the New York Times. Sheff G, whose real name is Michael Williams, is accused of bankrolling two NY street gangs, the 8 Trey Crips and 9 Ways, which are linked to 12 shootings and a murder.

Prosecutors say after one such violent incident, Williams treated the shooters to a lavish dinner at a Manhattan steakhouse in 2020 which was also attended by Sheff’s frequent collaborator Sleepy Hallow, real name Tegan Chambers. Hallow had just completed an eight-month sentence in prison for weapons possession. Although authorities say Williams used the profits of his rap career to fund his gang activity, Brooklyn district attorney Eric Gonzalez maintains that no lyrics were used in the indictment.

During a press conference covered by Rolling Stone Gonzalez said, “This is not an indictment of rap music. In fact, this investigation did not rely on a single lyric to prove any of the alleged crimes. But it is an indictment of how when someone does well for themselves and could do real good in our community, they use their fame and money to further gang violence.”

The use of rap lyrics in racketeering/conspiracy indictments such as this one has been a hot topic in the past year after Atlanta authorities indicted Young Thug and several members of his YSL label including Gunna using samples of their raps as evidence. The practice has been called racist by critics and several jurisdictions are considering legislation to ban the practice.

Sheff G and Sleepy Hallow both rose to stardom as part of the explosion of drill rap’s popularity in 2019 alongside fellow Brooklynite Pop Smoke. After his death, they were among the young artists who picked up the torch for drill in defiance of New York Mayor Eric Adams’ seeming crusade against the street movement.

Lola Brooke Taps Yung Miami & Latto For Massive “Don’t Play With It (Remix)”

March 24, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Lola Brooke became one of the IT artists over the past few months. With “Don’t Play With It,” she became the next promising star nearly a year after its release. The rising Brooklyn rapper earned co-signs from Kim Kardashian, Cardi B, and a number of other A-listers. Meanwhile, artists like Future and A Boogie With The Hoodie extended their own praise to Lola Brooke. It’s only a matter of time until her breakout moment and becomes the next big star out of NYC.

In the past few months, she’s unloaded a handful of new singles, which presumably will lead the campaign for a debut project. Today, however, she revisited her breakout hit and added some star power to the record. Alongside Yung Miami and Latto, Lola Brooke debuted the “Don’t Play With It (Remix)” earlier today. The drill-centric production becomes a perfect canvas for Latto to pop her sh*t and take aim at her detractors. What Yung Miami lacks in lyricism, she makes up for with her attitude, while doubling down on her singledom with Diddy’s approval.

Lola Brooke’s Star-Studded Remix

Lola Brooke continues to keep the rap game on their toes for what she has in store but with “Don’t Play With It (Remix),” she’ll definitely keep the momentum high. The rapper recently dropped off her first single of the year, “So Disrespectful,” highlighting her sleek flow, deep voice, and quick-witted wordplay.

Lola Brooke revealed to HNHH that the title of her project is going to be titled, Little Big Momma. Though no release date has been set, she explained that she wants to ensure that her fanbase can appreciate everything that she offers on the body of work. “I know what they deserve,” she said. “They deserve everything but I need my fans to tell me what they need for me. It’s there, but it’s not all the way there yet. I need to still learn them as well as they learn me.” Check the remix above.

Quotable Lyrics
Hundred bands, fuck is a hundred bands?
You fuck like a hundred n***as, ain’t got one man
You fuck like a hundred n***as, ain’t got one hit
Whole lot of motherfuckers speakin’ on me that ain’t done shit
