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

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

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.

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

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. Check the playlist out above and, as always, come back to HNHH for the latest great rap drops around the clock.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

Future Goes 3-For-3 On Our New “Fire Emoji” Playlist Update: Stream

This was a pretty massive release week for hip-hop albums and singles, and our latest Fire Emoji playlist update is here to round the best of the best up for your convenience. Leading the way is Future’s MIXTAPE PLUTO, a hotly anticipated project that marks his third of the year. “TOO FAST,” “LIL DEMON,” and “READY TO COOK UP” are easy highlights to shout out for their woozy energy. In addition, we also got a new LP from Lil Tecca, PLAN A. While the record has a solid amount of variety and dynamism to it, we think that “I CAN’T LET GO” is a particularly electrifying note to start your journey with.

Also on Fire Emoji is the continuation of another wild 2024 run: The Alchemist’s new album The Genuine Articulate. It’s a short but very sweet effort, and we’d recommend “Details” with Larry June to hear one of the smoothest sample flips of the month so far. As far as other albums to look forward to, GloRilla recently released a single for her upcoming project Glorious, “Hollon.” It’s her trademark Memphis formula, but with more eerie synths and a more cavernous bass tone to spice things up from her work’s usual (but still enjoyable) muddiness.

But let’s keep it moving on Fire Emoji with some quick single shout-outs. Nardo Wick and BossMan Dlow have some pretty menacing but chilled-out chemistry on “Oh S**t,” whose piano keys contrast the more dark chords quite well. As part of his new comic book/single series, Kid Cudi released “DONT WORRY” with Chip Tha Ripper, a compelling mix of dreamy soundscapes and buzzing bass. On a slightly similar psychedelic tip, we have the latest auto-croon jam from TiaCorine, “Different Color Stones” and its playful attitude.

Meanwhile, Meek Mill pulled up in a “CYBER TRUCK” on his new single, which is exactly his style of sharp snares and confident flows. Ray Vaughn and SiR rep Top Dawg on the former’s new song “Everybody Dies,” which might be the most well-rounded release of the week. Finally, we wanted to pay tribute to Rich Homie Quan’s memory by pointing you to his posthumous “Song Cry” single, notable for its emotional vulnerability and the dark context it now falls under. But through his catalog, his loved ones and fans can continue to celebrate his life and preserve his legacy. 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 more great music releases around the clock.
Rest In Peace Rich Homie Quan.

Playboi Carti Turns It “ALL RED” On Our New “Fire Emoji” Playlist Update: Stream

We watched the party die this week, but that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy the new releases hip-hop had for us. Moreover, our latest Fire Emoji playlist update is here to round up the best of the best that the genre offered. Leading the way is a self-birthday gift from Playboi Carti, “ALL RED.” It’s presumably the lead single to his highly anticipated upcoming album I AM MUSIC (or just MUSIC, apparently). Over a rage-ready F1LTHY beat, the Atlanta creative does his best Future impression according to many fans online, which may or may not be a deal-breaker for you. Still, it goes too hard to not shout it out for a try.

Elsewhere, we also got The Pre-Party on this Fire Emoji update, a two-pack of posthumous Juice WRLD singles ahead of a rumored album release. “Lightyears” with Young Thug is a mellow, emotive, and guitar-backed trap ballad that shows off their vocal chemistry and has a characteristically catchy chorus. On the other hand, “World Tour (Aquafina)” is a more lively cut that plays with the late Chicago icon’s earliest sonic explorations. Seeing this duality pop up again was a welcome treat.

In addition, Fire Emoji also features Eminem’s deluxe version of The Death Of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce), the Expanded Mourner’s Edition. The new addition on here (excluding previous digital exclusives) is the “Fuel” remix with Shady Records signees WESTSIDE BOOGIE and GRIP, plus a revamped Em verse. Another hot release this week was The Alchemist’s “Ferraris In The Rain” featuring ScHoolboy Q, which came with an album announcement. The legendary producer boasts his lyrical skills over a triumphant instrumental, bolstered by a short but sweet Q appearance.

Speaking of collaborations, Joey Bada$$ and Chlöe mellowed out on “TELL ME,” a sultry and woozy combination of rap and R&B. Finally, we wanted to highlight Ferg’s new single “Off White Rozay” for its peppy beat, charismatic performance, and frenetic energy. Check out our Fire Emoji playlist above and let us know in the comments section down below what your favorite release in this latest update was – as well as what else we missed this week. As always, come back to HNHH for the hottest new hip-hop around the clock.

ASAP Rocky & Big Sean Lead The Way On Our New “Fire Emoji” Playlist Update

This Friday was a big one for hip-hop releases, as fans got to hear new music from some of the genre’s best, which can all be found on our Fire Emoji playlist. ASAP Rocky gave fans a taste of what’s to come on his eagerly anticipated album Don’t Be Dumb, teaming up with Jessica Pratt for “HIGHJACK.” Fans are sure he took at least a couple of shots at Drake on the laid-back single, setting the tone for the remainder of the LP dropping on August 30.

Big Sean also gave listeners another peek at his upcoming project Better Me Than You with “On Up.” He goes deep on the tender track, leaning into themes of fatherhood, mortality, and purpose. NAV got introspective too, albeit in a much raunchier way, teaming up with Cash Cobain and Bay Swag for “6AM Thoughts.” He came through once again this week, this time slowing it down for his solo cut “Rexdale.”

ASAP Rocky, Big Sean, Killer Mike & More Deliver: Stream

Moving onto Polo G, he linked up with his fellow Chicago rapper Lil Durk for “We Uh Shoot,” delivering hard-hitting bars about clashing with opps. Mike WiLL Made-It brought about another stellar collaboration with “High3r,” enlisting the help of both Lil Wayne and Lil Yachty. Weezy’s verse in particular stole the show, reminding listeners that he’s still the GOAT. BigXthaPlug also hopped on country star Shaboozey’s “Drink Don’t Need No Mix,” making for an ideal blend of styles.

Finally, Killer Mike dropped off Michael & The Mighty Midnight Revival: Songs For Sinners & Saints, an epilogue to his Grammy-winning album, Michael. He joined forces with Project Pat and Key Glock to put a spin on his high-octane track, delivering “STILL TALK’N THAT SH*T.” What do you think of this week’s additions to the playlist? Are you looking forward to ASAP Rocky’s new album? What about Big Sean’s? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.
