Childish Gambino Maps Out Plan To Drop Two Final Albums, Teases Tons Of Music

April 15, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Childish Gambino will soon be done releasing new music under this moniker fairly soon. According to HipHopDX, the Georgia jack of all trades recently spilled the beans about his future projects, while previewing a fair share of unreleased tracks from them. The rapper hosted what he called the GILGA Radio Livestream via Instagram live last night. He announced it on X and a fan asked him if there was going to be new music previewed. Gambino had the perfect response, saying, “Of course. It’s a rollout dummy.”

About one month ago to the day, he announced a new album called Atavista. At the time of that reveal, there was speculation that it was going to be updated version of 3.15.20. Those suspicions were right on the money because Gambino confirmed that to be the case during GILGA. The other major piece of information we gathered is that after Atavista drops (we still don’t know when yet), Childish Gambino will put out one more album under his stage name. It will be titled Bando Stone & the New World, which doubles a soundtrack for an eponymous movie that he is a part of.

Finally, the other exciting part about this livestream were all of the tracks teased. According to the Reddit thread above, fans were claiming that Gambino played songs such as “Human Sacrifice” and a revamp of “35.31,” called “Little Foot, Big Foot” which features Young Nudy. Speaking of which, the hitmaker revealed that a music video for the latter will be dropping in the next few weeks. It has certainly been a long time coming for his fans, and Gambino recognized that. “My fans are great and have been so patient and are starving — this album is for you guys.”

How do you feel about Atavista being a mixed and mastered version of his last album 3.15.20? After he releases these albums, do you think he will retire?

T.I. Announces End Of Music Career With Double Album Including NBA Youngboy Feature, Boosie Badazz Collab Project Might Not Drop

October 18, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Legendary rapper and one of the leaders of the trap subgenre is getting ready to move on. T.I. wants to pass the torch to the next generation of artists. How he wants to do this is by going out with a big bang. It is certainly disheartening news that one of the OGs is not going to make any more music. However, T.I. has put in so much hard work for the rap community for over two decades. He deserves this send off and we congratulate him on a fantastic run.

The Atlanta, Georgia native spoke with the We In Miami podcast, according to AllHipHop. T.I. is also looking to explore other business ventures to build his career more. His last record will be a double album. Kill The King and Kiss The King will be the names of the two records. On top of that, T.I. revealed that one of the singles to promote the double LP will include a feature. NBA Youngboy will be on it, but he says that the collab will take a different approach that many fans are not going to expect.

However, T.I. is not done there. A collaboration album with close friend Boosie Badazz was in the works. However, it seems that there is a very small chance that it ever comes out. The rapper says, “The time that we had allotted for it we kinda passed by it.” He continues, though, “Not saying that the window can’t present itself again. We have a very healthy relationship.” Hopefully, we get that too. But, we cannot wait for what should be an incredible send-off.

What are your initial thoughts on T.I. announcing his retirement from music with a double album? Are you sad but also excited about this news? Do you think he should still drop the collaborative record with Boosie Badazz? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this.

The Weeknd Reportedly Working On His Final Album

May 8, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The Weeknd might be finished making music… sort of. Next month, HBO will premiere The Idol, a new drama starring the singer. Ahead of the premiere, Abel has been making the rounds to promote the show. In an interview with W Magazine, he provided some pretty interesting information. For fans, it may be pretty upsetting. He hinted that his foray into film and television coincides with what he considers the end of his music career, at least in some aspect.

In the interview, Abel opened up about where his head is in terms of creativity. Having done so much under his moniker as The Weeknd, he feels he is ready for a new path. “I’m going through a cathartic path right now. It’s getting to a place and a time where I’m getting ready to close the Weeknd chapter,” he says. “I’ll still make music, maybe as Abel, maybe as The Weeknd. But I still want to kill The Weeknd. And I will. Eventually. I’m definitely trying to shed that skin and be reborn.”

Abel Never Thought He Had The Look For R&B

The Weeknd is a globally renowned artist and has been for quite some time. He has long been known for creating some of the most dark and sensual music. His recent collaboration with Future in the song “Double Fantasy” is a perfect example of this. It may be difficult to imagine a time when Abel doubted his ability to fit into the R&B genre due to his looks. However, in a recent interview with Interview Magazine, he opened up about how he used to believe he didn’t fit the traditional mold of what an R&B artist was supposed to look like.

The Weeknd explained that he wanted to be deliberate in how he presented himself and his music. When he was younger, he believed that he wasn’t marketable, particularly for R&B, because he didn’t think he had the appropriate appearance. The Weeknd elaborated on how the conventional R&B look was very sexual. Although there were exceptions, he personally didn’t feel like he fit the mold. He wanted an unbiased response to his music, which was important to him. As such, he took a very mysterious approach to the look and feel of the music under the Weeknd moniker. What do you think of Abel’s suggestion that his next album as The Weeknd is the last? Let us know in the comments!

Kid Cudi Previews His Memoir On Social Media

March 13, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Kid Cudi is working on his memoir, as well as a new album. He promises that there will be new stories that he hasn’t told before. He also claims that the memoir and maybe the album might be published next year. However, he still has not confirmed a release window for them.

Last September, Kid Cudi announced that he was going to write a memoir focused on his “troubled boy” beginnings. At the time, he wrote on Twitter “Tellin my story in my own words is scary, but I feel like it needs to be told. I feel like everything will make a lil more sense as to why you all met such a troubled boy in the beginning.” On March 12, he announced that he had finished 4 or 5 chapters of the memoir. He talked about some of the unheard stories in it. These stories include: how he got interested in music and acting, as well as his upbringing. Cudi hopes the book will inspire people to do something great in their lives.

Kid Cudi’s Final Album

The memoir is not the only thing that Kid Cudi has in the works. He is also working on what might be his final album. Cudi is saying that it might be because it is the final album in his deal with Republic Records. He has also stated that he does not know what he is going to do after the deal is up.

At least he is promising that the album is going to be fire. He has already claimed that it might be “Album of the Year“. He is claiming that because he feels like it is his strongest work. Cudi is claiming that it is the most powerful project he has ever made and that the mixes are going to move his audience. Cudi is claiming that all of the songs are going to be new, but he will also make some of the songs into singles to hold his fans over until the album is done. He has announced that the first single from the album is coming in June.

T.I. Explains Meaning Of His Final Album, “Kill The King”

February 19, 2023 by newhiphopnews

T.I. says that he’s hoping to dethrone himself as the “King of the South” with his upcoming final album, Kill the King. Speaking with TMZ, the legendary rapper reflected on the title as well as the end of his storied career. T.I. has referred to himself as the king on many songs throughout his career. The first time came on his song, “2 Glock 9’s,” featuring Beanie Sigel. He even named his 2006 album King. “That was the beginning of a long road of many challenges, opposition and adversity,” the rapper reflected.

“I feel like the King of the South moniker is very egotistical, self-gratuitous and it’s a persona that kinda enters the room before I do physically. Big Boi cautioned me of [the title] back when I was coming onto the scene,” T.I. recalled to the outlet. “Big Boi said, ‘It sounds cool. I like it, but understand when you are king you put a big bullseye on your back. You can’t look for no favors. Life is a game of chess, and the name of the game is called Kill The King. That’s what you are setting yourself up for.’ [At the age] I didn’t really think much of it.”

T.I. Speaks To TMZ

T.I. announced Kill the King back in 2021, at the end of the music video for his single “What It’s Come To.” The Atlanta rapper also addressed a series of allegations including sexual assault, rape, drugging, and more that were made against him and his wife, Tiny Harris, on the song.

“When people heard it, the visceral reaction that they had, that’s what made it more personal for me,” T.I. said of the initially reaction to him labeling himself the king. “When people started telling me ‘You can’t call yourself that.’ I said, ‘Who the fuck are you to tell me what I can and can’t call MYSELF.’ And that’s when I began to feel more ownership; I felt like, ‘Well now, I got to stand on this.’”

Earlier this year, T.I. recalled DJ Drama’s reaction to calling himself the King of the South during an interview with Shannon Sharpe. “[DJ Drama] called me in to freestyle on a mixtape,” he said. “I said King of the South in the freestyle. He kind of raised his head like, ‘Whoa! What is that? What did you say?’ I said, ‘You heard what I said.’”
