Kendrick Lamar & J. Cole Return On Our New “Fire Emoji” Playlist Update

December 21, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It’s the most wonderful time of the year, and hip-hop still has some gifts to give us on our latest Fire Emoji playlist update, which rounds up the genre’s best releases this week. Leading the way is one more Kendrick Lamar track before his dominant 2024 comes to an end, and it’s another SZA collab on her SOS Deluxe: LANA, “30 For 30.” Unsurprisingly, they share a lot of vocal chemistry and charisma over an easy-going beat that fuses melodic rap flows with a bouncy clap beat. They both sound heavenly on the cut, closing out their year on a sweet, fun-loving, and confident note.

Speaking of “the Big Three,” our Fire Emoji update also highlights J. Cole’s tenth anniversary streaming re-release of 2014 Forest Hills Drive. It includes eight new bonus cuts that are really resonating with fans during this celebratory time, especially the hard-hitting and gritty “Die Together.” It features the North Carolina MC’s trademark vivid picture-painting, casual but solid rhyme schemes, and impassioned delivery. In other words, these tracks show everything that made 2014 Forest Hills Drive such an enduring and beloved record.

For those looking for some more relatively underground gems on Fire Emoji, we’re happy to say that one of 2024’s most prolific runs had one more chapter to cover. Following three other collaborative LPs with other producers, Boldy James dropped off the Hidden In Plain Sight EP with beat wizard whothehelliscarlo, and it’s a succinct but fittingly grimy unwinder. However, the title track, which features Conway The Machine and Styles P, is a good example of how the dusty and street-based vibe of the project can also mix beautifully with more soulful sounds.

As for new singles this week, we’d be remiss not to mention Gunna’s new single “GOT DAMN” and its chilled, calming, and dreamy synth atmosphere. While the trap drums are simple and not much happens here melodically, Wunna’s voice fills in the empty space for the most part. Finally on Fire Emoji, we wanted to shout out the new Tee Grizzley remix of “Diana,” which features Flo Milli. The drill swing courtesy of BNYX and the more auto-tuned delivery are a welcome change of pace for the Detroit spitter, whereas the Alabama femcee skates on the beat in breathy but engaging fashion.

Snoop Dogg & Dr. Dre Are Back In Business On Our New “Fire Emoji” Playlist Update

December 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Even though the year is winding down as far as new music releases, we still have some killer picks to round up this week on our latest Fire Emoji playlist update. Of course, we need to start off with Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre’s grand return via their new collab album Missionary, which shows off a lot of classic sounds and modernized efforts. A clear standout is “Gunz N Smoke” featuring Eminem and 50 Cent, which has more of a trap swing to it bolstered by crisp percussion. As you can imagine with a song with all these rappers on it, the flows and charisma on here is quite palpable.

Next up on Fire Emoji is the chilling new Offset single “Swing My Way,” produced by Turbo and boasting some psychedelic and icy synth keys. When it comes to flow and performance, the former Migo is as smooth as ever, even if there’s nothing on here that will surprise you lyrically. But that doesn’t mean that you won’t walk away from this track with anything, as the chorus is solidly catchy and it’s an overall hypnotizing tune.

On a similarly woozy and trippy note, we have producer BNYX and Lil Yachty’s latest collaboration, “SMOKING IN THE RAIN.” Compared to some other material from the beatmaker, this isn’t as outwardly aggressive, but the resonant bass hits and ear-candy tones go a long way to highlight Yachty’s eccentric performance. His flows and refrains are intoxicating, especially as he continues to perfect his more breathy and ethereal vocal tone for these kinds of tracks. It’s one of the more addictive and sweet additions to Fire Emoji this week.

Finally, we’re wrapping up this Fire Emoji with BossMan Dlow’s new album Dlow Curry, which is unsurprisingly filled to the brim with banger after banger. In particular, if you’re looking for a representative taster to clue you in, we’d recommend the grimy and minimal “Like Dat.” The snares are relentless on this cut, some horns come in to add some drama to the verses, and Dlow never loses his sense of fun and focus on here.

Snoop Dogg & Dr. Dre Get Glitzy On Our New “Fire Emoji” Playlist Update: Stream

November 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Even though the year is starting to die down, we still have plenty of new music to take us through 2024’s end on our latest Fire Emoji playlist update, which rounds up the best of the best new hip-hop releases of the week. Starting us off is the new single from Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre’s upcoming album, Missionary. It’s the track “Another Part Of Me” featuring Sting, and it samples “Message In A Bottle” by the singer’s band, The Police. Despite the odd choice, it works out relatively well thanks to more sharp percussion, some backing vocals, and a dash of charisma.

Next up on Fire Emoji are two unconventional but nonetheless impactful and massive blockbuster albums this week. Juice WRLD’s latest posthumous album and his final project, the long-awaited The Party Never Ends, finally came out this Friday, and while it’s certainly divisive, cuts like “Celebrate” with Offset seem to have resonated. In addition, J. Cole released his classic mixtape Friday Night Lights on streaming services for the first time. It came out 14 years ago, but cuts like “Before I’m Gone” still hit hard.

Speaking of albums, Fire Emoji also highlighted the new Kodak Black album Trill Bill. Sonically and mic-wise, it’s pretty much exactly what you expect from the Florida native, but if you’re interested in one of the most successful and engaging examples of these retreads, look no further than the song “News Matt.” As far as other new songs this week, Benny The Butcher and 38 Spesh followed up their collab album earlier in 2024 with the grimy and raw boom-bap cut, “SS2 Freestyle.”

Finally, we wanted to shout out The LOX for the surprising, glossy, and classic East Coast-evoking single, “Isley Money.” It’s about as confident, gritty, and focused as you would expect from this iconic hip-hop collective, and it’s a treat to hear them find inspiration and skill within this instrumental. Let us know what your favorite Fire Emoji inclusion was this week, as well as what else we missed, down in the comments section below. Check the playlist out above and, as always, come back to HNHH for the best new music releases around the clock.

Cordae Meets Us At “The Crossroads” On Our New “Fire Emoji” Playlist Update: Stream

November 16, 2024 by newhiphopnews

2024 is still continuing its run as a great hip-hop year, and as you’ll see on our latest Fire Emoji playlist update, new releases this week are no different. First up is the new and long-awaited album from Cordae, The Crossroads, whose only feat more impressive than its stellar guest list is the amount of growth that the North Carolina rapper displays here. There are boisterous bangers, introspective jams, a real hunger to be the best MC possible, and plenty of soulful instrumentation. As far as specific highlights, we’d recommend “No Bad News” with Kanye West as a great taster.

Speaking of new albums on Fire Emoji, we also wanted to shout out Denzel Curry’s expanded version of his KING OF THE MISCHIEVOUS SOUTH Vol. 2 mixtape. The new records are pretty gritty and hard-hitting, and “GOT ME GEEKED” specifically unlocked a new flow for Zeltron that shows he’s still as dynamic as ever on the mic. Another fresh LP to talk about is the return of Young Nudy and Pi’erre Bourne, as they linked up for another full-length with Sli’merre 2. It’s just as woozy, chilled-out, and wavy as you would expect, as songs like “Get Fu*ked Up” exemplify their chemistry.

Finally, we wanted to point you to NBA YoungBoy’s new project I Just Got A Lot On My Shoulders, the latest installment in this prolific catalog. Not every cut on here is as outwardly aggressive as you might expect though, such as the light melodies and atmospheric pads on “Killa Season” that saves all the bravado for YB’s mic performance. As for new singles on Fire Emoji, the big highlight is Juice WRLD and Nicki Minaj’s “All Girls Are The Same” remix. “AGATS2 (Insecure)” is a dreamy reimagining of the iconic original, and the Trinidadian femcee fits very well on this dramatic new version.

Also, Ray Vaughn continues to prove himself as a passionate lyricist on “EAST CHATT” with a killer Isaiah Rashad feature. To round things out, we have Lil Baby’s “5AM,” which is one of his most creative sample flips and flow performances as of late. Let us know what your favorite Fire Emoji inclusion was this week, as well as what else we missed, down in the comments section below. Check the playlist out above and, as always, come back to HNHH for the best rap releases around the clock.

Ab-Soul Cooks Up On Our New “Fire Emoji” Playlist Update: Stream

November 9, 2024 by newhiphopnews

If you’re in the United States and are looking for some new music to cool you down after the election, then look no further than our latest Fire Emoji playlist update with the best new hip-hop this week. To kick things off, we want to shout out the new album from Ab-Soul, Soul Burger, for its variety, resonance, and dizzying lyricism. There’s a little something for everyone on here, whether that’s more icy and hard-hitting West Coast bangers, moments of patient introspection, and more lively and quirky melodic shimmers. As far as specific highlights, we’d recommend “Righteous Man” as a very solid first taste for you to see if you’re interested to dive in.

Speaking of new albums on Fire Emoji this week, we’d be remiss not to mention Ferg’s new LP DAROLD, which is a curious mix of his old and new styles. Some cuts, like the nasty “Demons” featuring Denzel Curry, exemplify the larger-than-life trap and street rap that the Harlem MC has always done so well. But further on into the tracklist, some revealing, somber, and more thoughtful records reveal another side to that bravado in a blunt but effective way.

HNHH Fire Emoji Playlist: Stream

Moving on, we’ve got one more album to talk about this week, and that’s SahBabii’s latest, Saaheem. For fans of simple plugg and charismatic vocal deliveries, this is a big rec on Fire Emoji, especially the wavy and minimal “All The Way.” As far as new singles, Cordae offered a soulful, muted, but still impressive collaboration in the form of “Syrup Sandwiches” with assistance from Joey Bada$$. The guitar loops are very watery and reverb-heavy, but each spitter’s focused and effortless flows do a lot to elevate that atmosphere.

Rounding out our list is Young Nudy and Pi’erre Bourne’s latest woozy trap single for their upcoming Sli’merre 2 project, “Right Now.” Finally, Kenny Mason continued to prove his genre-fusing and versatile prowess with the ethereal but nonetheless gritty song, “HOODRAT.” Let us know what your favorite Fire Emoji pick was this week, as well as what else we missed, down in the comments section below. Check the playlist out above and, as always, come back to HNHH for the latest killer rap drops around the clock.

Tyler, The Creator Finds His Way Home On Our Stacked New “Fire Emoji” Playlist Update: Stream

November 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Halloween is over, and hip-hop gave us one of its most stacked release weeks all year. As such, we rounded up the best of the best on our latest Fire Emoji playlist update, and there’s one artist who blew the game up at the top of the week. Tyler, The Creator dropped CHROMAKOPIA, his new album with very little lead-up but a powerful one nonetheless. It helps that it’s full of not just some of his most personal material ever, but also some of his hardest and most fun bangers across his career. If you haven’t already been bumping cuts like “Rah Tah Tah” and “Sticky” with GloRilla, Sexyy Red, and Lil Wayne, give it a shot to electrify your day.

Elsewhere on Fire Emoji, we have other hot new projects to talk about that fans have been waiting on for a long time. Freddie Gibbs finally returned with his new album You Only Die 1nce, and cuts like “Brick Fees” display why he’s one of the coldest rappers in the game. Also, Lil Uzi Vert went wild and unfiltered on Eternal Atake 2, and we’d recommend the energetic “Light Year (Practice)” as a solid taster. Finally, Westside Gunn actually dropped two projects this week, but the main event is Still Praying, on which “Free Shots” with DJ Drama and Conway The Machine is a particularly gritty highlight.

Meanwhile, Fire Emoji also contains the week’s hottest singles, including the “SOUTH OF FRANCE” remix with Future and Travis Scott. It was the version that fans originally wanted to hear on MIXTAPE PLUTO, so it’s great to have the wavy collab in our possession. In addition, JID and Ab-Soul joined forces for a menacing, lyrically dense, and wholly fitting collab, “Crazier.” The drums on here focus up the bars and add a welcome sense of suspense that both MCs don’t always tap into, but handle with skill.

Rounding things out is the Waka Flocka Flame-tributing “STILL IN THE PAINT” from Denzel Curry, LAZER DIM 700, and Bktherula. Finally, we wanted to shout out Central Cee for a passionate and confident performance on the song “One By One.” Let us know what your favorite Fire Emoji inclusion was this week, as well as what else we missed, down in the comments section below.

Tyler, The Creator Stays Noided On Our New “Fire Emoji” Playlist Update: Stream

October 26, 2024 by newhiphopnews

October’s almost over, and we’re lucky we got some great hip-hop to close the month out on our latest Fire Emoji playlist update, which rounded up the best of the best drops this week. Kicking things off is Tyler, The Creator with his lead CHROMAKOPIA single, “Noid.” With a raw Zamrock sample, a creative beat switch, and a jam-packed journey of musical embellishments, fans can’t wait to hear this on tour alongside Lil Yachty and Paris Texas. Speaking of the Los Angeles duo, they also dropped a song this week titled “RökKOut.” Their laidback chemistry fits really well with a peppy drum beat and some amazing bass and synth lines.

As for other new songs on Fire Emoji this week, The Alchemist and ScHoolboy Q enlisted Freddie Gibbs for “Ferraris In The Rain Part 2.” The Big Boss Rabbit does a great job of riding Uncle Al’s original beat and adds some new life to the already solid cut. Wiz Khalifa also joins the list, building up Kush + Orange Juice 2 hype with the woozy new record “Hide It” with Don Toliver. If you’re looking for something a bit more gritty, look no further than Gucci Mane and Sexyy Red’s slow-burning but hard-hitting collab, “You Don’t Love Me.”

For the fans of more soulful hip-hop out there, Aminé recently fulfilled that hunger with a new two-pack, “Passenger Princess / Adam.” The former of those features Smino and sees them lust for a woman in their lives with some unsurprisingly impressive flow displays. Moving onto new projects on Fire Emoji, Hunxho recently unveiled his latest project, Thank God. It’s a nice balance of more melancholy street fare such as “Hot Boy” featuring Lil Durk and more boisterous and brash trap bangers.

In addition, we have some deluxe editions to talk about this week: G Herbo’s Big Swerv 2.0 and Megan Thee Stallion’s MEGAN: ACT II. If you want a taster for both, we’d recommend the passionate “Ball” with Meek Mill for the former and the smooth “Bigger In Texas” for the latter. Let us know what your favorite Fire Emoji inclusion was this week, as well as what else we missed, down in the comments section below. As always, come back to HNHH for the latest hip-hop releases around the clock.

GloRilla & Pharrell Bring The Heat To Our New “Fire Emoji” Playlist Update: Stream

October 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Our latest Fire Emoji playlist update is here to round up the best of the best hip-hop releases of the week. Leading the way, of course, is the new debut studio album from GloRilla, GLORIOUS, and it’s about as fun, bombastic, grimy, and hard-hitting as you would expect. The energy is on high all the way through, especially thanks to standouts like “WHATCHU KNOW ABOUT ME” featuring Sexyy Red. Elsewhere, Pharrell came through with the soundtrack for his LEGO biopic Piece By Piece, which goes through many of his best tracks and productions. But there are some new gems too, such as Tyler, The Creator’s “VIRGINIA BOY” remix.

Moving along on Fire Emoji, we have Cordae’s new single “Mad As F*ck” with its easy-going trap beat and some pretty standard but nonetheless well-spat flows. His performance on here is a bit more brag-heavy, catchy, confident, and aggressive than we’re used to, which is always a welcome change in either direction – especially ahead of a new project on the way. In addition, Lil Durk continues to build hype for his next album Deep Thoughts with the new single “Late Checkout” featuring Hunxho. It comes just a week before the LP comes out, and points to some of the melancholic and lovelorn narratives that could pop up on it.

HNHH Fire Emoji Playlist: Stream

Speaking of albums, BigXthaPlug came through with TAKE CARE, which is one of the more raw and slow-burning releases you’ll hear on Fire Emoji this week. That’s not only due to the slow Southern trap that he embodies so well on cuts like “Leave Me Alone,” but also thanks to how his storytelling and deliveries stick with you after you finish the album. Moving across the Atlantic, we have a new record to talk about from Skepta and Flo Milli titled “Why Lie?” It’s one of the more melodic performances you’ll find in his recent catalog.

Finally, we wanted to shout out Ab-Soul’s new song, “Squeeze 1St 2.” The sample flip and percussive swing here is engaging, the flows are beautifully unrestrained, and his bars remain clever and compelling. Let us know what your favorite Fire Emoji pick was this week, as well as what else we missed, down in the comments below.

Ferg & Future Bring Their “Allure” To Our New “Fire Emoji” Playlist Update: Stream

October 5, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Fire Emoji is back to catch you up on the best new hip-hop releases, and our latest fall update has a lot of energy to run through. Kicking the rollercoaster off is Ferg’s latest single “Allure” featuring Future, a pretty icy and hard-hitting trap cut with some charismatic flows. More importantly, it’s a charismatic meld of the Harlem MC’s confident bravado and Pluto’s woozy croons. Next is the new Lil Durk single “Monitoring Me,” which uses regal chord hits and a slow-moving trap beat to control Smurk’s haphazard flows. Still, it’s one of the more exciting and fresh performances on his behalf in recent years, so we can’t wait for what’s next.

In addition to these new singles, our Fire Emoji also highlights one of the biggest rap albums this week: Tee Grizzley’s Post Traumatic. It’s a very lengthy tracklist, but that means that there are plenty of fulfilled chances for the Detroit spitter to impress. “I Know” featuring Fridayy is a passionate and cavernous ballad fusion, whereas cuts like “Swear To God” featuring Future are much more aggressive and menacing.

HNHH Fire Emoji Playlist: Stream

As far as some more alternative selections on Fire Emoji, Cochise and Aminé really understood the assignment on their new single, “NASTY.” Thanks to buzzing and persistent bass, frenetic snares, jagged and sporadic synth hits, and some quirky and high-pitched vocal inflections, this is one of the most colorful cuts you’ll find this week. But for those looking for a more lyrical offering, look no further than Benny The Butcher’s “Jesus Arms” with 38 Spesh and Busta Rhymes. It’s a classic combination: wild rhyme schemes, fiery deliveries, a crisp drum break, and a variety of melodic elements to spruce the onslaught up.

When talking about the bubbling underground that’s almost at mainstream levels, Nettspend reps that crowd with the raw and rattling new single “F*CK SWAG.” Finally, we wanted to shout out ian’s new track “End Up Gone” for its simple but engaging beat. Let us know what your favorite Fire Emoji inclusion was this week, as well as what else we missed, down in the comments section below.

J Cole & Tee Grizzley Go “Blow For Blow” On Our New “Fire Emoji” Playlist Update: Stream

September 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Our latest Fire Emoji playlist update this week may not be the most stacked in our catalog, but this week in rap music held some truly standout collaborations that we’d be remiss not to highlight. First up is the new single from Tee Grizzley and J. Cole, “Blow For Blow.” It’s a pretty chilled-out but still hard-hitting team-up thanks to some icy and mellow keys plus a rattling and bouncy Detroit drum pattern. As far as verses, both MCs switch between multiple flows to deliver charismatic bars in engaging fashion. It’s an unexpected link-u[, but nonetheless a fulfilling and skillful display.

Another blockbuster drop on our Fire Emoji playlist update is the long-awaited and latest collaboration between The Weeknd and Playboi Carti, “Timeless.” Despite its title, the track sounds deeply rooted in today’s moody trap and R&B fusions, bolstered by rubbery and futuristic synths and bass tones, a simple percussive treatment, and some sharp, quick, and confident deliveries from both artists. Carti kicks us off with a dynamic delivery that sounds like he’s featuring an alternate version of himself on the song, whereas Abel Tesfaye comes through with some expectedly angelic vocals.

HNHH Fire Emoji Playlist: Stream

Next up is a trunk-knocking 2000s-era Pharrell-style throwback from Maxo Kream and Tyler, The Creator, “Cracc Era.” A lot of folks online have compared it to how the Neptunes producer meshed so well with rappers like Slim Thug and Clipse. It’s not hard to see why: the deep and bass-heavy beat only need some buzzing shots of synth to keep both lyricists focused while the rough drums give the cut a funky and stankface-inducing flow. In fact, some die-hards out there (including Maxo himself) think that this is a perfect recipe for a collab album.

Meanwhile, Young Thug and Nigo joined forces for the jittery, high-speed, and boisterous “Dope Boy.” Finally, we wanted to shout out Meek Mill for the slightly reflective and passionate new single “ROBBIE SON.” Let us know what your favorite Fire Emoji inclusion was this week, as well as what else we missed, down in the comments section below. Check the playlist out above and, as always, come back to HNHH for the best rap releases around the clock.
