21 Savage Reveals European Tour Dates After Securing Green Card

by

For the longest time, 21 Savage could not travel outside of the United States. He didn’t have a green card, and his previous ICE arrest had loomed large over his head. However, with the help of his good pal Drake, the artist has been able to secure travel privileges. He recently went to Canada and subsequently, he will be making his way to London on November 30th for a homecoming show. As it turns out, he plans on doing much more than one show in England.

According to Broadway World, the Her Loss rapper is going to be in Europe for the entire second half of November. Firstly, he will be heading out to France before stopping in Germany, Switzerland, and even the Netherlands. Eventually, he will be in the UK for a few shows before performing at The O2 in London. It is going to be a lot of fun, and you can tell that 21 is excited.

Considering his newfound ability to travel, it only makes sense that he would choose to do a tour like this. It will allow him to connect with the European fans who have been starved of his performances for the better part of a decade. Only time will tell whether or not he chooses to tour in other parts of the globe. Hopefully, he does.

Chance The Rapper Reveals “A Lot Of Negatives” During Tour With Macklemore In Europe

by

Chance The Rapper and Macklemore might not be the first two artists you think of together, but the two actually go way back. While reflecting on the ten-year anniversary of his mainstream breakout project Acid Rap to Ebro Darden, Chance spoke on the early days of his career. At one point, he touched on opening for the Seattle MC during his Europe tour in 2013, and called it one of the most challenging obstacles he faced during his rise to the top. However, that’s not because of his performance partner, but rather the circumstances and crowds that they experienced during their trek. It’s wild and heartening to hear the Chicago artist talk about his unfortunate struggles, and to see how far he’s come since.

“The toughest challenge I ever experienced was I went on tour with Macklemore,” Chance The Rapper remarked. “Macklemore is an amazing, amazing person and helped me out tremendously as well. But his shows, it was in Europe and it was, I think 38 dates, all 20,000 capacity rooms. All like off markets too, like Poland and Dusseldorf.

“These people didn’t speak English at all,” Chance The Rapper elaborated. “And not only did they not speak English, he sold out all these shows before [they] announced [me] on the ticket. So it’s really bad when you go to a show and there’s an opener that you don’t want to see. It’s way worse when it’s a surprise opener that you don’t want to see. That’s speaking a different language and Black, a lot of negatives on top of each other for the Swedish crowds. So I’m dealing with that.

“When I came home, I got to finally feel at the end of that year when I went on my own solo tour, I got to feel having my own crowd, selling my own tickets and really built my whole off that tour,” the 30-year-old expressed. “The year Acid Rap dropped, I started out and went on tour with Mac Miller, rest in peace, my guy, amazing dude, changed my life in a lot of ways. But I went on tour with Mac Miller at the end of March and my mixtape dropped while I was on tour. I literally watched people go from yawning and looking at their clocks while I was on stage to singing along to jumping along. I watched that.” For more news on Chance The Rapper and Macklemore, stay logged into HNHH.

Beyoncé Tour Ticket Prices Reportedly Prompt U.S. Fans To Travel To Europe

by

Few artists can say that their demand is so huge in the States that they can make their fans travel overseas just to spend a few hundred dollars less to witness their presence. According to many fans online, people are buying tickets for Beyoncé’s shows in Europe due to staggeringly high ticket prices in the U.S. Moreover, the star singer’s European leg begins in Stockholm, Sweden on May 10, according to her official tour website. However, many of these shows already sold out on the platform, so maybe fans got cheaper resale tickets.

Of course, Beyoncé’s highly acclaimed 2022 album RENAISSANCE, plus her sheer dominance and legacy as an artist, drove millions to buy tickets. What it resulted in is a frenzy of delayed purchase times, crashing websites, insane demand, and insane prices. It’s not entirely uncommon for the biggest artists in the world to face these issues, whether thanks to poor planning or just the fact that they’re so huge that everyone and their grandpa want to go. For example, Taylor Swift faced similar issues, as did Drake whose tour tickets rivaled even the “CUFF IT” star’s.

Beyoncé Fans Face High Ticket Prices In The U.S., Travel To Europe For Shows

However, many on social media ultimately saw this as a great opportunity to go visit other countries. After outlets started to report on the phenomenon, many chimed in with their takes. “It’s still cheaper than the US!!” one user claimed. “We were able to make a cute lil vacation in Toronto!! I’m excited that this is pushing black and brown folks to travel abroad for new and different experiences!!” Another expressed, “If I wouldn’t have gotten my ticket here… oooo oui! I would’ve been on my way to Paris.”

It might be an unorthodox move, but it’s something to consider if you want to see a large artist on a world tour and can spend a lot of money, but not a lot of money. Meanwhile, the 41-year-old is enjoying a victory lap of sorts after becoming the most awarded Grammys artist ever. Now, she’s looking forward to her massive tour- and many fans are looking forward to their overseas vacations. Regardless, come back to HNHH for the latest news and updates on Beyoncé.

Kelvyn Colt Goes “EYE4EYE” On New Single

by

Kelvyn Colt is back with his latest single, the minimal and club-influenced “EYE4EYE.” While that club influence might lead you to expect trendier sounds, Colt proves anything but. Moreover, this new track is tense, slightly industrial, and nothing if not thrilling from start to finish.

What’s more is that the German-Nigerian artist is gearing to drop his new project GERMAN ANGST.

“EYE4EYE” is the first single off my new project GERMAN ANGST,” he stated. Furthermore, he called it a “reflection on the culture of revenge and male toxicity, as well as the question of forgiveness. I explore my own experiences of being cheated by another artist, whom I had paid for a feature, and how I chose not to seek revenge but instead to maintain a clear conscience. In the song I’m trying to express the doubts and questions I have in mind about this topic and the hypocritical stance we as individuals take on it.”

Meanwhile, the instrumental here is an eerie and slowly building piece of industrial and electronic hip-hop. For example, the heavy kick drums only show up when the song is reaching a peak, culminating in an explosive outro. While Colt’s flows certainly keep the tempo steady, there’s a captivating soaring synth line that saws through and energizes the track. In fact, some listeners might even catch a bit of Jersey club influence in the ending’s drum pattern.

Still, what did you think of Kelvyn Colt’s latest song, “EYE4EYE”? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments and check out some standout bars and the amazing music video for the single down below. Also, if you haven’t heard it yet, you can find the track on your preferred streaming service. As always, log back into HNHH for the next rap stars, big hits, and the best new music each week.

Quotable Lyrics

Intercept before the show, get back yo’ dough with maybe more,
I said ‘No’, he said ‘Yeah’, I said ‘Hold on’, he said ‘My bro,
This s**t gonna get you clout and money, what you want more?’
And I replied, ‘Peace when I’m overseas on tour’

NBA YoungBoy Says He Plans To Move His Family To Europe

by

2022 has been an extremely busy year for NBA YoungBoy. Dropping eight full-length projects and a string of YouTube videos, the Last Slimeto rapper is maintaining his label as one of the hardest-working rappers in the game.

Not only has he been busy with his music career, but also with his personal life. In September, he welcomed his 10th child into the world.

Seemingly as a result of all his overwhelming success, the “Make No Sense” rapper says he wants to eventually move his family to Europe.

“We got to stay prayed up[.] I really want to move [to] Europe with my family once all of this [is] put behind me,” he wrote in the short social media post. “I’m stacking money until then!!” the 23-year-old added.

Considering YoungBoy’s family consists of 10 kids and multiple baby mamas, the move would certainly be a complicated one.

To make matters worse, he’s gotten into some public feuds with the mothers of some of his children. One of them, Drea Symone, took to her Twitter account in October to call YB out for not being present in their daughter’s life. “[I’d] Trade all the money in the world for my youngest daughter to have a father,” she wrote.

Regardless, the Baton Rouge native’s latest project of the aforementioned eight this year, arrived in the form of Lost Files just last week. Containing 21 tracks and no features, the tape follows his Quando Rondo collab album, 3860. In October, he teamed up with DJ Drama for the Gangsta Grillz mixtape, Ma’ I Got A Family.

Furthermore, the 23-year-old was evidently active during this holiday season. On Saturday (December 24), he was engaging in arguments online with Blueface. In the rather light-hearted exchange, the rappers debated over who gets more girls. “You get your group and I’ma get my group, and we gon’ see who got the baddest h*es,” he told the “Bleed It” rapper.
