Yung Miami Unbothered By “RAW” Album Sales Projections Critics

October 24, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The landscape of the industry has changed significantly in recent years, leaving many artists with lower first week sales numbers than ever previously seen in their careers. In particular, women working in music are having a difficult time keeping up with their male counterparts, and as a result, getting clowned online despite all their hard work and other achievements. We saw it happen to both Coi Leray and Chloe Bailey earlier this year. Now, it’s the City Girls whose critics are coming at them over their RAW sales. Regardless of what people like DJ Akademiks have to say, Yung Miami and JT don’t seem to be letting their projections get them down.

Earlier this week, we found out that the duo’s new arrival is set to move a total of 6K – 9K album equivalent units during its first seven days out. Compared to artists like Drake or Bad Bunny, these numbers are obviously minuscule, but as Caresha pointed out on Twitter, she’s not mad at the results. “That’s good for a b**ch who voice y’all hate and can’t rap,” the Florida native wrote on Monday (October 23) evening.

Yung Miami is Plotting on Her Haters

In another post, Miami made it clear that she’s keeping tabs on those who are throwing shade her way. “All of a sudden everybody hate me,” she posted yesterday. “I’m bookmarking everything . I love to make a b**ch eat they words!” the “Twerkulator” artist further noted.

Even though the numbers for City On Lock (approximately 19K) were substantially higher than RAW, the former album actually stirs up plenty of emotional turmoil within Yung Miami whenever it crosses her mind. Ahead of their latest drop, the City Girls sat down together to discuss their past work, which gets the podcaster all up in her feelings over the untimely death of her baby daddy. Read everything Miami had to say at the link below and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Lola Brooke’s Debut Album Coming Soon, Sexyy Red Tells Twitter To Send Her NSFW Videos

October 23, 2023 by newhiphopnews

For some reason unbeknownst to her, Sexyy Red’s Twitter replies have become the perfect place for anyone tired of their usual spank bank material to find new content. Earlier this fall, the Hood Hottest Princess expressed discomfort at the constant flow of NSFW videos and photos that are left under her posts about everyday topics. “Why me?” she asked them during an interview. We may never get answers, but on Sunday (October 22), Red found the perfect person to push her overly horny followers onto. After noticing an explicit confession posted on Lola Brooke’s profile this past weekend, she promptly directed them her way.

“Hi! My name is Lola and Twitter porn got me in a chokehold,” the 29-year-old wrote. When the “Pound Town” hitmaker saw the tweet yesterday afternoon, she quoted it on her page, adding, “Y’all go give ha a show real quick .” As per Red’s orders, a few people did oblige in sharing their homemade content, or personal favourite watches with the black-haired beauty.

Outside of catching up on the latest X-rated content to hit social media, Brooke has also been busy preparing the world for her next big move. In a recent Instagram post, she shared that her debut album, Dennis Daughter is coming to streamers next month. As AllHipHop notes, plenty of features appear on the project from names like Latto, Yung Miami, Bryson Tiller, and French Montana.

Rihanna Comeback Tour Reportedly Slated For 2024/25, Singer Has Two Albums Ready For Her Navy

October 22, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Rihanna is a woman who has always marched to the beat of her own drum. Thankfully, her creative talents afford her the freedom to do so in avenues like fashion design, music, and makeup. For the most part, the Barbadian beauty has been pouring her energy into starting a family with ASAP Rocky. Their second son, Riot Rose Mayers, arrived earlier this year, marking what Rih has described as the “completion” of their unit.

Now that she’s accomplishing her matriarchal goals, the 36-year-old is reportedly turning her attention back to what made her famous in the first place – her vocals. Performing at the 2023 Super Bowl Halftime show back in February was a huge moment for Rih, and many thought she would use that performance to announce a new album or tour. Instead, the moment confirmed her second pregnancy, leaving the world absolutely shocked. After giving birth, the “Lift Me Up” singer took some time to recover, but according to the latest reports, she’s cooking up something big for 2024.

As The Mirror notes, Rih inked a $20+ million deal with Live Nation for a comeback world tour. “The deal was created to facilitate a world tour and her creative team is quietly at work in Los Angeles putting it all together as she raises her family. She’ll press play on the live show once she’s ready to go back to work and has two albums’ worth of material to release once she’s back,” a source dished to the outlet.

By now, fans trust that Rihanna will provide an update on her next musical endeavours when she feels ready to do so. In the meantime, we’ve been enjoying watching her and ASAP Rocky’s relationship grow as they parent their two young children together. The Bad Gal has previously said that she’s in no rush to tie the knot. Still, she and her rapper beau sparked rumours earlier this month about a potential engagement. Read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news.

Kali Uchis Previews Spanish “Orquideas” Album With “Te Mata” Single: Stream

October 22, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Any artists who plan on releasing new music before 2023 comes to a close have only a few New Music Fridays left to do so. Kali Uchis isn’t planning on giving us another album this year after dropping one ahead of her iconic Coachella performance in the spring, but the black-haired beauty did return with a new single today (October 20) to show us what’s in store for 2024. Uchis confirmed earlier this month that her Spanish album, Orquideas, is due out in early January. Both the previously released “Munekita” featuring el Alfa and JT and today’s “Te Mata” are on the tracklist, along with 12 other unnamed titles.

In the new Josh Crocker and Manuel Lara-produced single, Uchis lyricizes about life after a painful heartbreak. After some struggle, she manages to alchemize her pain into happiness – at the expense of her ex. “Well that’s already over, that’s not me anymore / I’m finally happy, my days are no longer gray / I finally realized that I deserve much more / and that kills you,” her lyrics, translated from Spanish by Uproxx, express.

The upcoming LP will be the fourth studio release from Uchis, who made her debut in 2015 with Por Vida. She’s since gone on to collaborate with the likes of Tyler, The Creator, Jorja Smith, Steve Lacy, PARTYNEXTDOOR, Rico Nasty, and boyfriend Don Toliver on multiple occasions. We’re curious to see who else the 29-year-old will be working with in the future and will be sure to keep you updated on the latest from the “telepatia” hitmaker.

Check out Kali Uchis’ newest visual for “Te Mata” above. If you’re feeling the Orquideas single, make sure to add it to your playlist on Spotify/Apple Music. While we wait for the Spanish songstress to show us her bilingual vocal talents this coming January, take a moment to revisit his year’s Red Moon In Venus LP at the link below.

Quotable Lyrics:

Pues eso ya pasó, esa ya no soy yo
Si eso me hace mala, pues diabla es lo quе soy
Nunca vas a poder cortar mis alas
Y eso es lo quе te mata

Janelle Monae Flashes Fans Again As “The Age of Pleasure” Tour Concludes

October 21, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Janelle Monae began her Age of Pleasure Tour on a high note earlier this year, and earlier this week, the genre-bending creative closed it in the same fashion. On Wednesday (October 18), her final performance took place in Los Angeles at the YouTube Theatre in Inglewood. While crooning some of her biggest hits, Monae continued her trend of nonchalantly flashing the audience her breasts, this time showing off the left one in the middle of her set.

Most artists wouldn’t dare put themselves in such a vulnerable situation in front of a crowd of strangers (and their camera phones). The 37-year-old, however, isn’t ashamed of the skin she’s in, and even shared during her album rollout that she’s “much happier when [her] ti**ies are out.” As the crowd caught sight of Monae’s bare breast many of them cheered with excitement, hyping the entertainer up amid her final night on stage.

The Age of Pleasure Tour kicked off at the end of August in Seattle before Janelle headed to cities like Vancouver, Chicago, Boston, Toronto, New York, Atlanta, Dallas, Phoenix, and many more. Along the way, special guests Jidenna, Flyana Boss, Dreamer Isioma, and Nana Kwabena came out to help. Fans of the Kansas native are sad to see this leg of performances wrapped up but are eager to see what the next phase of Monae’s career will bring her.

Janelle Monae has long been praised for her artistry, but The Age of Pleasure found the “I Like That” songstress coming in her most confident form yet. Besides showing off the body that she works hard to maintain on more than one occasion, the vocalist also impressed us with her lyrics and singing throughout the project. Read HNHH‘s official review of Monae’s sultry LP at the link below, and find the NSFW video of her on stage that we can’t share on our site by clicking the Via.

City Girls & Muni Long Want You To Face Your “Emotions”

October 21, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The City Girls took their time with their latest album (the first since 2020 gave us the iconic City On Lock), but based on the early reviews, the wait was worth it. On Friday (October 20), JT and Yung Miami confidently returned to the rap game with RAW, which finds both rap divas channelling their signature bad bitch attitudes with the help of plenty of noteworthy collaborators. They initially teased the 18-track effort with singles like “Good Love” featuring Usher, as well as “I Need A Thug,” “Face Down,” and “Pinata.”

Among those who joined the Florida natives in the studio over the past few months are Lil Durk, Juicy J, and Kim Petras. We also heard from Muni Long on “Emotions,” which we’re spotlighting for your listening pleasure today. The R&B darling opens up the NOVA WAV-produced effort with her stunning voice. “Wanna know how it feels / To have somethin’ that’s mine, mine, all mine / Give me love, give me chills / Every time I ride, ride, ride, ride,” she sensually sings.

City Girls Finally Drop Their RAW Album

For her verse, Caresha makes it clear that she has no problem remaining unattached from the men in her life. “I could f**k another ni**a on the lowkey / Ain’t s**t to hit a ni**a with a okey,” she teases. Later on, JT comes through with salacious rhymes of her own. “Get the voicemail, I’m callin’ again / Play with my mind, I’m scratchin’ up Benz,” Lil Uzi’s lover threatens. “Tell your mama mind her business / And your sister, she can get it.”

Listen to Muni Long’s vocals alongside JT and Yung Miami’s bars on “Emotions” above. If you’re feeling that collab, you can tap into the City Girls’ full RAW album on Spotify/Apple Music. For more HNHH release recommendations, tap back in with us later this weekend.

Quotable Lyrics:

Get the voicemail, I’m callin’ again
Play with my mind, I’m scratchin’ up Benz
Tell your mama mind her business
And your sister, she can get it

Kaliii’s New EP Marks The Start Of “FCK GIRL SZN”: Stream

October 15, 2023 by newhiphopnews

In 2022, Kaliii finally dropped her second mixtape, Toxic Chocolate, which helped her solidify her own identity outside of the braggadocious NSFW raps she rose to fame with. As she continues to perfect her debut album, the Southern starlet has shared a new EP with hip-hop heads this weekend, aptly titled FCK GIRL SZN. While the more lonely in society are focused on finding a partner to cuddle up with this fall, Kaliii’s mind is obviously anywhere but.

The four-track effort begins with the Atlanta native’s previously released Young Nudy collab, “Say Too Much.” Following that we have a joint effort from Kaliii and GloRilla called “Can’t Get ‘Em,” which proves just how far both female lyricists have come since they were initially cast into the spotlight. The sole solo track on FCK GIRL SZN is “Stand On It,” marking the penultimate spot before NLE Choppa joins Kaliii on her final title, “K Toven.”

Kaliii Taps NLE Choppa to Join Her on “K Toven”

The newly Scooter Braun-managed artist had already shared the DJ Smallz 732-produced track as her own, but when she heard what Choppa had to offer, Kaliii couldn’t resist another collab. “Heard them b**ches say they outside / Where they at? We gon’ slide / Runnin’ through his bag like it’s mine / Said I love him, I was lyin’,” the 23-year-old quickly spits as her infectious beat begins. It’s unclear when she plans to follow FCK GIRL SZN with more, but we’ll happily take it whenever it comes.

Check out NLE Choppa’s verse on Kaliii’s “K Toven” above. If you’re feeling that, take some time to tap into the full EP on Spotify/Apple Music. Are there any other rap divas that you’re hoping to hear new releases from this fall? Let us know in the comments, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

2023 BET Hip Hop Awards’ Best Breakthrough Artist Prize Goes To Ice Spice

October 11, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Ice Spice has had her perfectly manicured foot on our necks since she first blew up with “Munch (Feelin’ U)” over a year ago. At this point in her career, the 23-year-old has collaborated with the likes of Nicki Minaj and Taylor Swift, broken countless streaming records, and graced the cover of various publications. She hardly feels like a “breakthrough” artist seeing as she’s skyrocketed to heights far above her contemporaries. However, at the 2023 BET Hip Hop Awards last night, that’s the prize the New York native left with.

Others nominated in the category this year include Armani White, Central Cee, and Finesse2tymes. Several women were also on the list, including Kaliii, Lola Brooke, and Sexyy Red. The final competitor for Spice is actually her good friend and upcoming tour mate, Doechii. Obviously only one of them could win, but it’s safe to say that Doja Cat will be in great company as she travels around North America to perform her new Scarlet album.

As Billboard reports, the artist taking home the most awards was Kendrick Lamar. The West Coast superstar earned trophies for hip-hop artist of the year, best live performer, lyricist of the year, and video director of the year in tandem with Dave Free. Much to our surprise, a handful of heavy hitters were on the BET snub list, including Cardi B, Burna Boy, and DJ Khaled. The Hustlers actress tied with 21 Sav for most nods, but ultimately came up empty-handed. As for the latter two, each had seven nominations that resulted in zero wins.

Last night’s BET Hip Hop Awards were full of some big moments for the music industry, though not all of them were positive. The evening’s host, Fat Joe, certainly kept us entertained with his various outfit changes, though he’s still facing backlash for mispronouncing Sexyy Red’s signature catchphrase. Check out the full list of 2023 winners at the link below, and tap back in later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Jaidyn Alexis’ “Barbie” Single & Music Video Might Be Her Best Work Yet: Watch

October 2, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Say what you want about Jaidyn Alexis, the girl has seriously impressed us in terms of her hustle over the past few months. The “Stewie” rapper’s baby daddy, Blueface, revealed recently that the only reason he didn’t marry his high school sweetheart is due to her lack of support for his rap career. Years later, the pair have put their differences to the side as the Cr*zy In Love star invests his time and money into making Alexis a rap star in her own right.

After her aforementioned debut single, the mother of two returned with “Workout,” and more recently, “Post Opp.” The lyrics of those songs largely focused on the hateful comments trolls have made about Alexis’ BBL. Her latest release, “Barbie,” is similar in nature, and it may be some of the 25-year-old’s most confident work yet. She shared the single and video to commemorate her birthday on Monday (October 2), and so far, listeners seem to be loving what they hear.

“She keeps getting better. She’s got the whole [image] and she can actually articulate her words. No robotics in her flow,” one YouTube user wrote in the video’s comment section. “Okay this one is a banger! Jaidyn can flow, she came through on this one,” another person praised the birthday girl.

Tap into the salacious music video for Jaidyn Alexis’ “Barbie” single above. If you’re feeling it, be sure to add it to your playlist on Spotify/Apple Music. While the First Lady of MILF Music celebrates her birthday, Blueface’s other baby mama, Chrisean Rock, dropped off a heartwarming song and visual dedicated to her son earlier today. Check that out at the link below, and let us know which release you prefer in the comments.

Quotable Lyrics:

Can’t keep him with a baby, should’ve asked me
How you movin’ but still can’t outlast me?
Cook, clean, f**k, you can’t pass me
I’m in the front now, sis, get the back seat

Chrisean Rock’s Pregnancy Journey Shown In New “Prayer For Chrisean Jr.” Music Video Feat. Mookie

October 2, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The public has been admittedly hard on Chrisean Rock since she first announced her pregnancy in January. To be fair, it’s not like her often-emotionally immature behaviour didn’t warn the concern. Thankfully, she’s made noticeable efforts to grow and do better since stepping into motherhood. The Baltimore native may not be perfect, but as the music video she dropped today (October 2) shows, she’s got a huge heart, and it’s full of love for her firstborn son.

Nearly one month after Chrisean Jr. took his first breath, his famous parents have already shown him off in two visuals. The first, “Baby Momma Drama” saw Blueface reflecting on the chaos in his life thanks to Rock and Jaidyn Alexis. For her part, the Baddies cast member opted to focus on more positive topics, like the dreams she has for her son’s future. In her “Prayer For Chrisean Jr.” song, the young boy’s mother sings about learning to have conversations with God with some help from her brother, Mookie.

“My mama taught me how to pray / I got that baby on my hip like every day,” Rock’s sibling sings halfway through the track. “This s**t get cr*zy ’round my way like every day / Money calling, I ain’t stalling on the way,” he continues. Speaking of money, we see just how hard Rock worked all throughout her pregnancy in the accompanying video too. From doing photoshoots with her baby bump to making appearances at rowdy clubs, she didn’t quit.
