ScarLip & NLE Choppa Open Our First “Fire Emoji” Playlist Update Of 2024: Stream

January 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Welcome to 2024, and to sum up all the great opening releases this week from the best in hip-hop and beyond, we’ve got you covered with our first Fire Emoji playlist update of the year. Leading the way is the new remix of ScarLip’s “Blick” featuring NLE Choppa, an aggressive and Jersey club-inspired cut. With wild vocal delivery, a banging beat, and infectious piano lines, this will kick off the year with a bang. In addition, we also have The Game, Big Hit, and Hit-Boy’s surprise collab album, Paisley Dreams. Moreover, its title track is particularly skillful, and demonstrates a compelling balance of boisterous bars and reflective remarks.

Also on Fire Emoji this week is the new song from Pooh Shiesty, the menacing “Federal Contraband 2,” which actually dropped on Christmas Day last year. It still carries its lengthy energy over into 2024 with what sounds like a relentless verse from jail from the Memphis MC. Moving over to Michigan, we have Detroit rapper Veeze and Gallery Provence teaming up for a new record, “WORST.” It’s a punchline-heavy, rapid, and similar to Shiesty, non-stop performance with an ethereal but tough-as-nails beat.

Along the same high-tempo and bar-heavy vein, BLP KOSHER just released a new song, “Dreidel Bop.” The Florida native’s infectious charisma, creative wordplay, and slew of pop culture references makes this as fun as it is engaging to sit down and break down its verses. As for the best offering on Fire Emoji this week (in this writer’s opinion), Erick The Architect and the legendary George Clinton blessed us with “Ezekiel’s Wheel.” It’s a slow-burning but funky track with lyrical perseverance, woozy embellishments, and a dreamy and intoxicating sonic atmosphere.

Rounding out our update is Lil Tecca’s mellow and cavernous new single, “Down With Me.” Finally, we wanted to shout out Fredo Bang’s emotive and drowsily heart-ached “Come Thru.” Let us know in the comments section which of these Fire Emoji picks was your favorite– and what else we missed this week, too. Check out the playlist above and, as always, stick around on HNHH for the latest amazing music releases around the clock.

Lil Uzi Vert & Sexyy Red Close Out 2023’s “Fire Emoji” Playlist With A Bang In New Update: Stream

December 30, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Well, folks, we’ve finally made it: the final Fire Emoji playlist update of 2023 is a very short but very sweet one. As the year comes to a close this weekend, it’s a pretty slow week for new releases as folks celebrate and gear up for 2024. Still, there were four particularly great tracks to highlight this week that will surely help you end the year off with a bang. First up is Lil Uzi Vert’s “Red Moon,” which was once a YouTube exclusive for Christmas Day that eventually made its way to streaming services. It’s not as energetic or vibrant as we’re used to hearing from them these days, but it represents the Philly superstar’s other half: a moodier, more tender, emotive, and vulnerable melodic approach with some great drum-and-bass percussion.

Furthermore, another Fire Emoji highlight comes from none other than Sexyy Red, who is absolutely one of the year’s most dominant and important artists. Say what you will about the new Chief Keef-assisted remix of “Bow Bow Bow (F My Baby Daddy)” [or “F My Baby Mama” in this case], but you can’t deny the sheer impact that hits like this had in 2023. The Chicago legend comes through with a pretty charismatic performance, proving that he can still play with the younger crowd as one of its biggest influences. The song remains as good if not better than its original, and it will lead us into hopefully another great year for the St. Louis MC.

In addition, we had to shout out the title track on Conway The Machine, Westside Gunn, and The Alchemist’s collaborative project, Hall & Nash 2. Whether it’s the sharp and boisterous lyricism or the vintage and engrossing production, any song on this tape would’ve fit like a glove on Fire Emoji. What sets “Hall & Nash” apart on the tracklist is its deliberately patient, menacing, and almost Western-like beat, sampling some rattling, a guitar twang, and ghostly keys. Ahead of a revamped version of the same record apparently coming in 2024, we can’t recommend this Griselda and Uncle Al team-up enough.

Finally, one of the greatest lyricists writing and rapping today had to drop one more gem for us this year before closing it out. Boldy James came through with production help from Your Boy Posca on the single “They Vouching,” which is as lyrically grimy as it is sonically soothing thanks to wondrous flute melodies and ambient, persistent synth pads. Let us know what your favorite Fire Emoji inclusion was this week– and what else we missed, too. Check out the playlist above and come back to HNHH for every great rap release to come in 2024: we’ll have it on lock.

Juice WRLD & Eminem Make Their Mark On Our New “Fire Emoji” Playlist Update: Stream

December 23, 2023 by newhiphopnews

As we round out 2023, this week still held some compelling and hard-hitting hip-hop releases to highlight on our new Fire Emoji playlist update. Sure, the schedule is slowing down a little bit, but never underestimate a heartfelt, important, and gut-wrenching song to make us look back on the year– or past few years, rather. Yet that’s exactly what Juice WRLD, Eminem, and benny blanco provided with their new single, “Lace It.” It’s a cut about addiction, substance abuse, its cyclical horrors, and perseverance that hits right at your core thanks to excellent anecdotal expressions and respectful topical focus. The perspectives here are downright cutting: one from a recovered user and one voice whose talent and contributions to this world were cut tragically short, but still lives on forever.

While the rest of our Fire Emoji playlist isn’t as pivotal message-wise, we still had plenty of quality releases to shout out. Leading the way in that regard is the new grimy yet glistening album from Conway The Machine and Wun Two, Palermo. “Cold Dish,” with assistance from Goosebytheway, is a particularly jazzy and hazy standout, on which the Drumwork boss still maintains his charisma and boisterous demeanor through sharp lines. There’s similar lyrical precision on Russ’ new song, “Said It Freestyle,” which is a relentless series of reflective verses, expertly woven themes, and intriguing flows and wordplay.

Elsewhere on Fire Emoji, we also included the new Central Cee track, “Entrapreneur.” It mixes his shimmery UK drill style and flows with grounded subject matter and a slightly more melancholy beat than usual. Speaking of drill, Lil Mabu is asking Fivio Foreign for a lesson on “TEACH ME HOW TO DRILL.” It’s actually quite the comical cut, as the genre’s controversial white guest trades tropes with one of its leaders right now. No description could do it justice; just look up some context, and marvel in its bizarre nature.

Meanwhile, we’d be remiss not to mention the new 03 Greedo single, “Recess,” which is equally fiery and melodic. Finally, AJ Tracey comes through with some truly classic grime vibes on “Wifey Riddim 4.” Let us know what your favorite release on Fire Emoji was this week– and what we missed, too. Check the playlist out above and check back in with HNHH for the latest great music releases around the clock.

Bas & J. Cole Are Far From “Home Alone” On Our New Fire Emoji Playlist Update

December 16, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Hip-hop never slows down, even amid the holiday season, and our new Fire Emoji playlist update rounded up the best of the best when it comes to new releases this week. First up we have Nicki Minaj, whose new album Pink Friday 2 is dominating thanks to fun tracks like “Everybody” with Lil Uzi Vert. In addition, she just dropped a Gag City Deluxe version featuring a “Beep Beep” remix with 50 Cent and a new song, “Love Me Enough,” with Monica and Keyshia Cole. As such, the Barbz are helping us close our 2023 with style and energy, and they’ll probably carry that energy into 2024.

Another deluxe version on Fire Emoji this week came from A$AP Twelvyy, who dropped an expanded version of his album Kid$ Gotta Eat. As far as standouts, look no further than “Yams Day,” honoring the late and great A$AP Yams. Not only that, but featured guests on this track comprise of A$AP Rocky, A$AP Ferg, and A$AP ANT, so it’s truly a heartening family affair. However, when it comes to brand-new releases this week, none stand taller than Bas’ new album, We Only Talk About Real S**t When We’re F***ed Up. His J. Cole collab “Home Alone”– one of three on the project– is a particularly emotive and skillful highlight.

Furthermore, our Fire Emoji update also rounded up some hot singles this week, like Lil Baby’s dual release: “Cr*zy” and “350.” They’re both dramatic and dense cuts flow-wise that set the Atlanta MC up for a proper comeback. Also, we have to mention the excellent collaboration “MiNt cHoCoLaTe” from the 1999 WRITE THE FUTURE collective, BADBADNOTGOOD, Westside Gunn, and Conway The Machine. It’s a gorgeous record with extravagant verses, hypnotizing flute melodies, and measured percussion.

Elsewhere, we also have the blistering new single from Luh Tyler and Latto, “The Grinch Freestyle,” plus Fivio Foreign’s new Jersey club flip with New York drill trio 41 (Kyle Richh, Jenn Carter, and Tata), “Get Deady (Offa Pill).” One of the most underrated picks here is “NIGHT WE MET,” a woozy and romantic cut from Portion and Veronica Elizabeth. Finally, we have to shout out Chow Lee’s rapid, ethereal, but nonetheless exciting “swag it!” Let us know in your comments what your favorite Fire Emoji inclusion was this week, and what else we missed, too. Check out the playlist above and come back to HNHH for more great music releases around the clock.

Nicki Minaj & Kenny Mason Bring Bangers To Our New “Fire Emoji” Playlist Update

December 9, 2023 by newhiphopnews

It looks like our Fire Emoji playlist is going to end off on a great and bombastic note, because this week brought us a lot of great rap releases. Moreover, this new update complies the very best of these for your listening pleasure, and leading the way is none other than Nicki Minaj. Her new album Pink Friday 2 is finally here after years of waiting, and fans have a lot of material to sink their teeth into. Perhaps that’s the best compliment we can give this project: the sheer versatility, range of skill, and different appeals on display are a treat to see. For specific highlights, check out the boisterous “Big Difference,” “Let Me Calm Down” with J. Cole, and “Needle” with Drake.

Furthermore, we also had Kenny Mason give us a couple of new tracks this week with Highway 9. Of the three songs within it, our Fire Emoji playlist chose the mellow and moody guitar-led “FACTS” as a woozy and atmospheric standout. You’ll find another dreamy soundscape on “Airplane Tickets,” the new song from Pharrell Williams, Swae Lee, and Rauw Alejandro. However, it’s a very different kind of atmosphere than Mason’s set of influences, swapping out trap patterns for a dancehall vibe with summery synth pads and keys.

Another staple of Fire Emoji is the hardened, unrelenting, and emphatic lyrical banger, and Benny The Butcher is here this week to satisfy. The Stove God Cooks-assisted “One Foot In” contains intricate rhyme schemes, vivid pictures of rags turning to riches, and an unsurprisingly infectious sense of charisma, determination, and success. Speaking of great verses, Lyrical Lemonade tapped Jack Harlow and Dave for their new collaboration “Stop Giving Me Advice,” which has some compelling thematic focuses on the adversities of acclaim. Both MCs suit the old-school beat quite well, refusing to slow down their flows for their heady bars.

Rounding out our update is the drum-and-bass banger “leavemealone” from Fred again… and Baby Keem, which should absolutely soundtrack your next night out. Finally, Southside and Lil Yachty teamed up for “Gimme The Lite,” which is one of the latter’s most straightforward but aggressive trap performances of the year. Let us know in the comments what your favorite release of these was, and also what else we missed. Also, check out our Fire Emoji playlist above and come back to HNHH for more great music releases around the clock.

Conway The Machine & Sexyy Red Join Our New “Fire Emoji” Playlist Update

November 25, 2023 by newhiphopnews

We’re officially in the holiday season, and of course, hip-hop has a lot of gifts to give us to close 2023 out. Moreover, we complied the best and biggest releases from this week on our latest Fire Emoji playlist update, and there’s plenty of variety to find. Leading the way are Kanye West, Ty Dolla $ign, Lil Durk, and Bump J with their new single “Vultures,” which was a surprising release. Sure, there was some controversy surrounding the presence or absence of the Smurk feature, but the original track is now on streaming services for you to enjoy. In addition, Ye collaborator Conway The Machine dropped another cavernous and impressive single- “Cosca“- from his upcoming collaborative effort with producer Wun Two, PALERMO, for which they already dropped the song “Montagna.”

Furthermore, another Fire Emoji highlight is the new Sexyy Red record “Free My N***a,” which is a pretty self-explanatory track topically. With the same boisterous energy and fast pace that she built a stellar career off of this year, she pleads for the return of her man on this new song. Another bouncy cut from this week is the latest from Luh Tyler, the light and low-key “Change My Wayz.” The energy might not be at supersonic levels, but it’s a welcome change of pace that shows that Tyler can stay within a more relaxed realm and still engage listeners.

HNHH Fire Emoji Playlist: Stream

As far as albums, Fire Emoji‘s got two big drops this week, and the first one to mention is Busta Rhymes’ BLOCKBUSTA. There are plenty of fun, lyrically dense, and hard-hitting bangers to name here, but we haven’t been able to let go of “OK” featuring Young Thug and with help from Cool and Dre. On the other hand, Lord Apex’s new project The Good Fight is a versatile and well-rounded collection of tracks with a lot of distinct appeal. If you want to hear the English MC trade excellent bars with Freddie Gibbs over a dusty boom-bap beat, look no further than “Phoenix.”

Rounding out the list, we want to give a shoutout to the new Lil Baby-assisted single from Bay Swag, the rapid-fire “All Night Long.” Finally, go give a spin to the most recent collab between Gucci Mane, B.G. and Mike WiLL Made-It, “Cold.” Let us know in the comments down below what was your favorite hip-hop release of the week- and which ones we missed, too. Stream the Fire Emoji playlist above and, as always, come back to HNHH for more great music drops each week.

Drake & Lil Wayne Are Lyrical Masters On Our New “Fire Emoji” Playlist Update

November 18, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Our Fire Emoji playlist update has a little something for everyone: tough-as-nails rap, lyrical mastery, wavy instrumentals, and everything in between. Moreover, we’ve rounded up the best of the best hip-hop releases this week that are making a big splash right now. Unsurprisingly, Drake leads the pack with his For All The Dogs Scary Hours Edition project, which is essentially Scary Hours 3. For this, he went in a deep lyrical bag that many fans missed, and showed that he’s still a great writer. If you want the standouts, we’d recommend the Alchemist-produced “Wick Man” and the J. Cole-assisted “Evil Ways.”

However, that’s far from the only collection of tracks that hit hard this week on Fire Emoji. After much anticipation and solid singles, Lil Wayne and 2 Chainz finally unveiled Welcome 2 Collegrove, a collaborative sequel to their 2016 album. One of its more up-tempo and hard-hitting cuts, “G6,” displays Tunechi and the artist formerly known as Tity Boi with a lot of fire on the mic. With features from the likes of 21 S*vage, Usher, Benny The Butcher, that heat is very consistent and apparent throughout the tracklist.

HNHH Fire Emoji Playlist: Stream

Regardless of these solid releases, there’s one album that dropped this week that took the crown for Fire Emoji‘s best release: Danny Brown’s new album, Quaranta. If you didn’t like him before, give this project a listen: it’s the most uniquely somber, personal, but nevertheless hopeful and charismatic thing he’s ever dropped. There’s a more solid balance than ever between the Detroit MC’s wild energy and introspection, which the track “Dark Sword Angel” perfectly exemplifies. While other MCs hit 40 and get old, he proves that it’s only a question of getting older, not worse.

Meanwhile, there were a few notable singles to shout out this week, such as Jay Rock and Bongo ByTheWay’s triumphant and horn-driven “Still That Way.” Also, Mozzy came through with a passionate and bouncy banger with “FREE JUJU.” Finally, if you’re looking for gritty and grounded Chicago drill, Lil Durk and his OTF crew released the 11-song effort, Nightmare In The Trenches, on which “I’m The Type” is a menacing and relentless highlight. Let us know what your favorite release of these was- as well as what we missed- in the comments below.

Rick Ross & Meek Mill “Go To Hell” On Today’s “Fire Emoji” Playlist: Stream

November 12, 2023 by newhiphopnews

If you’re having a hard time shaking the dramatic change in temperature that comes with autumn, at least you’ve always got our Fire Emoji playlist to help warm you up. Today (November 11) we’ve got new heat from some of hip-hop’s biggest creators, including Rick Ross and Meek Mill. The longtime friends reunited for a joint album called Too Good To Be True this New Music Friday, teaming up with the likes of Vory, Fabolous, DJ Khaled, The-Dream, and Teyana Taylor for their 17-track effort. To light up our weekly update we’ve got “Go To Hell” featuring Cool & Dre and BEAM. Trust us when we tell you it only gets hotter from there.

2 Chainz and Lil Wayne are our next iconic duo, showing out once again on “Long Story Short.” After that, we hear from two notoriously raunchy lyricists – Kevin Gates and Sexyy Red – on “Yonce Freestyle,” which also features B.G., who’s on an impressive run after returning home from prison a few months ago. Lil Durk made a triumphant return with “Smurk Carter” this week after previously teasing the single on social media, and Smino reminded his listeners why we love him so much with an appearance on ENNY’s “Charge It Remix.”

HNHH Fire Emoji Playlist

The latter half of today’s Fire Emoji round-up comes complete with solo work from both Kodak Black and Jack Harlow. The former did his thing on “Lemme See,” while the latter was clearly feeling himself when recording “Lovin On Me.” NBA YoungBoy’s “Better Than Ever” collab with Rod Wave also made the cut, along with Lola Brooke’s “Don’t Get Me Started.” The femcee dropped off her debut solo project yesterday, and so far, the Coi Leray and Nija track is an obvious fan favourite.

Gunna & Megan Thee Stallion Lead Our Latest Stacked “Fire Emoji” Playlist Update

November 4, 2023 by newhiphopnews

If you ever thought that music always slows down towards the end of the year, look no further than our new Fire Emoji playlist update as proof against that. There was a lot of amazing hip-hop that came out this week, from the new school to old legends. As a perfect example of a combination of those two, Benny The Butcher and Lil Wayne traded impeccable bars on the grimy single “Big Dog.” For those looking for more modern, woozy sounds, Gunna and Turbo came through to please on the new song “Bachelor.” On that same contemporary note, Megan Thee Stallion kickstarted her career comeback with her latest record, “Cobra,” which is an emotive but perseverant cut.

However, now let’s bring Fire Emoji back to the classics for a second with Jeezy’s brand-new double album, I Might Forgive… But I Don’t Forget. Moreover, the song “No Complaining” shows his power and charisma as an MC while still tapping into modern attitudes and aesthetics. Another hot album this week came from Tee Grizzley, who dropped the 16-track project Tee’s Coney Island. When you need to put on a menacing and fast-paced Detroit banger, his track “Loop Hole” with 21 S*vage will be right there waiting for you.

HNHH Fire Emoji Playlist: Stream

As we keep going further into our Fire Emoji playlist update, you’ll notice that the variety doesn’t slip up. A chemistry-filled and bouncy single from Travis Scott, Kid Cudi, and Pharrell Williams- “AT THE PARTY“- brings the intensity down while still providing an infectious atmosphere. There’s a similar waviness on Cochise’s new song “HOP IN THE WHIP,” although it’s more energetic and with faster flows. In addition, Kodak Black also dropped “2’CY,” which is a Jersey club-inspired record with a strong emphasis on his melodic delivery.

Finally, to close things out with the best releases this week, Rapsody and Hit-Boy teamed up for the dense and powerful track “Asteroids.” Also, we have The Alchemist’s new EP Flying High, Part 2, on which the Conway The Machine-assisted “Phil Drummond” is a massive highlight; Al even drops some bars of his own! Let us know in the comments section what your favorite release of these was this week, and also what we missed.
