SCY Jimm Is Feeling “Highly Favored” On His Second Album Of 2023

by

While SCY Jimm has plenty of music to check out on all DSPs HNHH has not had the chance to cover him too often. We first covered the Bunnell, Florida rapper a few weeks ago on a single with another rapper who is also getting a lot of attention right now. “Ain’t Original” saw him and the eccentric BLP Kosher team up for a single with plenty of personality and energy. Both have their own respective and signature sounds already, giving them a leg up on the rest of the new faces to rap.

The ROOKIE OF THE YEAR already has a project out for this year with Trench Baby. That record came out back on April 14 and it was purely a solo project. For a rapper who is just trying to make a name for themselves, tackling a full LP with no features is a daunting task, but he managed to do it. Jimm is riding this wave with Highly Favored.

Real Bad Man Brings On Blu And C.L. Smooth For “The Golden Rule”

by

Who knew a part street clothing company also produced fire beats? Well, that is exactly who Real Bad Man is, as they have just come out with a terrific new single. This collaboration features lyrical geniuses Blu and C.L. Smooth. It is the ultimate conscious hip-hop track with a stellar but simple beat with a nice guitar riff loop, piano, and drum pattern. However, the production takes a slight but noticeable change when Smooth’s verse begins.

In addition, the song does not overstay its welcome either. At just under three minutes both MCs fill out the runtime with ease. The chorus is also extremely catchy and just as hard-hitting as the bars. The refrain is first performed by Blu and then Smooth teams up with him for the final one. “Knock ’em out for the count, count one to ten / Soon as the bout begins, the bout ends / And we ’bout to take you out for another win.” Furthermore, it includes a ringing bell as you would when watching a boxing match, adding a nice effect to it.

Lil Wayne Reflects On Iconic 100+ Feature Run In 2007 With Missy Elliott

by

At 40 years old, Lil Wayne has made a name for himself as one of the most well-known and respected rappers in the industry. He continues to release music to this day, his most recent arrivals coming in the form of “THE FORMULA” with will.i.am, as well as March’s I Am Music project. The latter is a career-spanning compilation album, which begins with “Kant Nobody” featuring DMX and also includes appearances from names like Drake, Eminem, Bruno Mars, Kendrick Lamar, and Swizz Beatz. There’s no denying that Weezy has one of the most impressive rosters of collaborators of all time, but it was way back in 2007 when he really hit his stride.

During a sitdown with Missy Elliott for TV One’s Uncensored, the New Orleans native reflected on the year when he put out over 100 features. “That’s unheard of,” the “1, 2 Step” hitmaker applauded Wayne. “You have to have been raking in the dough,” she added. “I was only acknowledged for 77 of them,” the legendary lyricist told his co-star. “I don’t even think there was another artist playing on the radio, dang,” Missy recalled, thinking back to ’07.

Lil Wayne Looks Back on 2007

“That was real,” Wayne affirmed her memory. “That was an amazing moment and an amazing time. I remember being able to get into my car and turn on the radio. I don’t care if I got the station wrong, could’ve switched to a pop station by mistake, I’m still on that motherf*cker!” the Young Money head proudly praised his past work. Some of his biggest appearances from that time include “We Takin’ Over” with DJ Khaled, Akon, T.I, Rick Ross, Fat Joe, and Birdman, as well as “You” alongside Lloyd.

Other popular titles include “Uh Ohhh” with Ja Rule and “Barry Bonds” from Kanye West’s Graduation album. What was your favourite Lil Wayne release from 2007? Tell us in the comments below, and tap back in later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.
