Offset & Westside Gunn Bring Heavy Hitters To Our New “Fire Emoji” Playlist Update

October 14, 2023 by newhiphopnews

This week’s New Music Friday felt like an avalanche of bangers, which is why our Fire Emoji playlist update is here to recap the best of the best. Not only did we get plenty of great tracks within hip-hop, but we also got some of the most anticipated and grandiose albums of 2023. First up, there’s Offset’s new LP SET IT OFF, on which there are plenty of heated and hard-hitting tracks to sink your teeth into. There’s the slow-burning but triumphant Travis Scott collab “SAY MY GRACE,” on which both MCs flow with ease. Also, “BROAD DAY” contains some of the catchiest melodic elements on the album, a fast-paced drum pattern, and a cold-blooded Future feature.

The other big album that dominated our Fire Emoji playlist update this week was Westside Gunn’s And Then You Pray For Me. The sequel to his iconic 2020 album Pray For Paris is long, lavish, impressively consistent, and a true rap experience with so many amazing guests. An easy highlight is the menacing “Mamas PrimeTime,” featuring J.I.D, Conway The Machine, and Cartier A Williams. If you’re looking for a wildly different Griselda vibe, though, Tay Keith’s trap production on “Kostas” with Conway and Benny The Butcher will blow your mind.

Furthermore, Fire Emoji taps into that contemporary sound a bit further with Veeze’s “Get Lucki.” This song appears on his new deluxe version of his album Ganger that dropped this week, and is a lackadaisical but nonetheless wavy cut. Another big drop was Young Thug’s “From A Man,” which released alongside his flame Mariah The Scientist’s “From A Woman.” It’s an impressive lyrical performance, and one that reminds fans that Thugger is a truly special artist.

Meanwhile, this playlist update rounds out with a new single and two remixes. Gucci Mane gave us another taste of his new album with “Glizock & Wizop” with Key Glock. In addition, Burna Boy remixed Lil Durk and J. Cole’s “All My Life,” and finally, Travis Scott, G Herbo, and BIA teamed up to reimagine Lil Blessin’s “Likka Sto.” Let us know what your favorite release of the week was, as well as what we missed, and check out the Fire Emoji playlist above. Also, come back to HNHH for more great rap drops each week.

Drake Makes Sure Our New “Fire Emoji” Playlist Update Is “For All The Dogs”

October 7, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Unsurprisingly, our first October Fire Emoji playlist update of 2023 features none other than October’s Very Own- and in a big way. Drake’s For All The Dogs is the talk of the town right now, and there are so many tracks to dive into and explore when it comes to the bangers on display this week. Of course, we’d be remiss not to mention Drizzy’s excellent J. Cole collab, “First Person Shooter,” or his unmatched lyrical performance on the album with “8AM In Charlotte.” In addition, the wavy but nonetheless hard-hitting “What Would Pluto Do” is not just a great Future homage, but a catchy cut regardless. Finally, we chose to shout out “Rich Baby Daddy” with Sexyy Red and SZA as one of the most fiery style mashups on FATD.

However, Drake might’ve had the biggest album of the week, but in this writer’s opinion, he’s leagues away from the best. Taking up another spot on Fire Emoji is a track from that title’s occupant: Earl Sweatshirt and The Alchemist’s VOIR DIRE. They finally released the whole thing on streaming, and while some amazing records didn’t make this version, they made up for that with stellar cuts. With help from Vince Staples, the song “Mancala” has impeccable wordplay, a lot of heart, and a classically fire Uncle Al beat.

Furthermore, our latest Fire Emoji updates also showcases Denzel Curry’s “SKED” with Kenny Mason. That track came out a little bit ago, so don’t sleep on its B-side that dropped this week: the tough-as-nails “WOO” with PlayThatBoiZay and Chief Pound. Another heater to come was Kevin Gates’ “God Slippers,” assisted with some overpowering bass. It’s a pretty boastful and dramatic cut, but one that his vocal tone fits quite well.

Meanwhile, BigXthaPlug came through with a groovy but still trunk-knocking sample flip of The Whispers’ “And The Beat Goes On” on “Mmhmm.” Finally, Tee Grizzley and Finesse2tymes teamed up for the bouncy and aptly titled “Grizzley 2Tymes.” With these gems in mind, let us know what your favorite hip-hop release this week was in the comments below. Also, check out our Fire Emoji playlist above and stick around on HNHH for more great music releases each week.

Lil Yachty & J. Cole Are Our “Fire Emoji” Playlist Update’s “Secret Recipe”

September 30, 2023 by newhiphopnews

This week’s Fire Emoji playlist update is ushering in the last quarter of the year, and September closed off with some absolute heat. In fact, there was an interesting theme this week when it came to new releases in hip-hop: duos. For example, Lil Yachty and J. Cole impressed everyone with their lyrical chemistry over an old-school-feeling beat on the track “The Secret Recipe.” In addition, we got some more expected and long-awaited fare from an iconic team-up in rap: Rick Ross and Meek Mill. Moreover, they just released their triumphant and bar-heavy single “SHAQ & KOBE,” the preview to their upcoming full-length collab project.

Furthermore, this week’s Fire Emoji edition couldn’t go without mentioning Lil Wayne’s Tha Fix Before Tha VI, the anticipatory project to his long-awaited Tha Carter VI album. Specifically, we had to highlight the relentless flows, wordplay, and consistent hunger displayed on the track “Slip.” Another highlight off that tape is “To The Bank” with Cool & Dre, on which Weezy taps into his trap bag and shows he can do it just as well. Also, there were other similarly high-energy cuts this week, namely “ISSA PARTY” from Latto and BabyDrill.

However, we also need some time to chill down a little on Fire Emoji, and who better to fuse those two worlds together than Rod Wave? His cut “Turks & Caicos” with 21 S*vage off of his new album Nostalgia is low-key, but still packs a percussive punch while paying lyrical and melodic homage to Hov (we’ll let you find out which track he references). The new CMG compilation Gangsta Art 2 also brought us some bangers, such as “Cha Cha Cha” with GloRilla and Fivio Foreign, plus “50/50” by Moneybagg Yo. To keep the duos theme going, we have Lyrical Lemonade’s new single off their upcoming album, “Guitar In My Room” with Lil Durk and Kid Cudi.

Meanwhile, YG and Tyga’s new mixtape Hit Me When U Leave The Klub: The Playlist held a standout in “Brand New” with Tunechi’s assistance. Finally, we have Kelvin Krash’s new album HARSH, who tapped A$AP Rocky on the song “GET A GRIP.” Let us know what your favorite hype release of the week was in the comments down below. Check out our Fire Emoji playlist update above and stay up to date on HNHH for more great rap releases each week.

Doja Cat & Doechii Lead The Way On Our Latest “Fire Emoji” Playlist Update

September 23, 2023 by newhiphopnews

As we enter the final months of the year, plenty of artists want to keep the heat up on our latest Fire Emoji playlist update. Leading the way is Doja Cat, who just dropped her highly anticipated and evolutionary new album, Scarlet. In particular, the tracks “Wet Vagina” and “Agora Hills” pack a big punch, showcasing how the Los Angeles native leveled up her rapping game. However, no one this week was able to best Doechii’s raw and gritty energy on her latest single, “Pacer.” Following plenty of other hit releases and more industry crew by the week, the TDE MC is poised to cement herself as a top-tier lyricist and artist very soon.

In addition, our Fire Emoji playlist highlights Moneybagg Yo and Sexyy Red’s new collab single, the raunchy but simply effective “Big Dawg.” Of course, it wasn’t just chart-toppers and established stars that impressed this week. For example, 2FeetBino and BabyDrill’s new cut “Starstruck” is a hard-hitting piece of trap that is as bombastic, confident, and boastful as you would expect. It’s more expressive and passionate than your average street rap odyssey, while using the elements like sparse, menacing pianos that make those tracks memorable.

Moving away from stateside hip-hop on Fire Emoji, though, UK drillers Headie One, K-Trap, and Clavish form a smooth and relentless “TRIPLE THREAT” with their new single. Also, Doja wasn’t the only one to drop an LP this week, with Lil Tecca’s “Dead or Alive” being a rage-infused highlight on his new project TEC. Other highlights on that album include features from Kodak Black and Ken Carson, plus the playful and infectious melodies that the 21-year-old is well-known for. Speaking of catchy melodies, Bryson Tiller assisted Lola Brooke’s new song “You,” which is a bit of a throwback to 2000s R&B/rap crossovers.

Finally, EARTHGANG and the supergroup Spillage Village’s “Flavors of Karma” is a funky, off-kilter, and lyrically and structurally impressive cut from the duo’s new EP RIP Human Art. As for this week’s lyrical standout, look no further than Rome Streetz and Joey Bada$$’s new collaboration, “Fire At Ya Idle Mind.” If you want to hear these and other amazing bangers from this year, check out our Fire Emoji playlist update above. For the latest great music releases each week, stay up to date on HNHH.

Nas, Lil Wayne, Doja Cat & Many More Join Our Best “Fire Emoji” Playlist Update Yet

September 16, 2023 by newhiphopnews

This week had a lot of amazing new hip-hop to cover, no matter what styles of the genre you’re a fan of. Moreover, our Fire Emoji playlist update is here to represent the best of the best, and it’s surprising just how much variety this week held. Starting us off is the final album from Nas and Hit-Boy, Magic 3, which is quite varied and versatile in its own right. We chose to point out “Never Die” featuring the legendary Lil Wayne, which is far from the only excellent lyrical display on this playlist. “The Caliphate” from Earl Sweatshirt, Vince Staples, and The Alchemist is a woozy, dense, and perfectly paced cut of slow but hypnotizing abstract hip-hop with great bar work.

In addition, Doja Cat released yet another single ahead of her highly anticipated album Scarlet dropping very soon. With “Balut,” she had fans clamoring for her to join Griselda based on her flows and the grimy instrumental of choice (which is funny because Westside Gunn already shot his shot with her). This Fire Emoji update also features the latest offering from Sexyy Red, one of the most in-demand rappers today. Lil Durk cooked up an emphatic verse on “Hellcats SRTs 2,” which further roots the original in a drill aesthetic.

What ended up being the most slept-on track on Fire Emoji that you shouldn’t miss out on is from Gucci Mane’s newest signee. Brezden released “BRRR B” featuring Guwop, and in addition to a couple of sharp bars and fast-moving beats, it might be the start of an interesting career to watch considering his origin. Gucci’s got an album on the way, and so does Offset, who dropped his dramatic and sonically progressive single “FAN” this week, too. It swaps between auto-tuned melodies and aggressive flows, which is a relatively unexplored area for the Georgia native.

Finally, closing out our playlist update are two trunk-knockers: “ACT UP” by Killer Mike and Young Nudy and “SKED” by Denzel Curry and Kenny Mason. They’re both energetic trap cuts, whether it’s because of the horns on the first or the buzzing bass on the second. One thing’s for sure: they all bring the bars and amazing lyrical performances. With all this heat in mind, go check out our Fire Emoji playlist above and stay up to date on HNHH for more great releases each week.

Megan Thee Stallion & Cardi B Bring The “Bongos” To Our “Fire Emoji” Playlist This Week

September 9, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Summer might be over, but by no means does that mean that new music releases are slowing down in hip-hop. Moreover, our Fire Emoji playlist update this week covers a lot, from massive mainstream returns to low-key but always welcome hits. To start things off, how could we not mention Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion’s comeback hit, “Bong o s“? It’s quite the stylistic shift for the two femcees sonically, taking more rhythmic cues from dembow and Latin genres than hip-hop instrumentation. To keep up the girl power, Latto and Sexyy Red revitalized one of the year’s best hard-hitting trap bangers with their remix of Young Nudy’s “Peaches & Eggplants.”

Next, our Fire Emoji playlist contains a highlight from A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie’s latest EP, B4 BOA. “Did Me Wrong” is a soulful yet nonetheless energetic cut that hints towards what the New York MC will do with his next full-length project. As far as other singles, Peezy, Money Man, and Larry June teamed up for the gritty and haunting “Fashion Week,” showing off confident verses and flows. For a lyricist as recently acclaimed and often abstract as Mr. “Good Job Larry” himself, seeing this change of pace is a refreshing experience.

Meanwhile, Tee Grizzley achieved a similar switch-up with the track “IDGAF,” which leaves his heavy and impactful bars to the side. Sure, they’re still in there, but with Chris Brown and Mariah the Scientist as features, it’s a pretty sultry and genre-blending R&B and trap song. In fact, there’s a similar melodic and trunk-knocking appeal to Chris Patrick’s Fire Emoji contribution, “LOCK IT UP.” As an MC, he’s just as prone to firing off fast flows as he is to belt his vocals and craft catchy refrains.

Finally, Killer Mike was kind enough to grace us with a loosie from his recent excellent album MICHAEL, titled “MAYNARD VIGNETTE” and featuring T.I., JID, and Jacquees. It’s an incredible reunion between all artists, and one that’s heartfelt and impressive. To end things off, Rob49, Jay Rock, Ray Ray McCloud, Melvin Ingram, and J300 crafted another hype posse cut on “Primetime” off the new Madden NFL EP CROWD CONTROL. Check out the full Fire Emoji playlist above and stay up to date on HNHH for more great hip-hop each week.

Lil Wayne Serves Up “Kat Food” On The Latest “Fire Emoji” Playlist Update: Stream

September 2, 2023 by newhiphopnews

September started off on a high note thanks to a New Music Friday loaded with hot releases from some of the biggest names in hip-hop. Above all else, we were happiest to hear from Lil Wayne yesterday on his “Kat Food” single, which took the No. 1 spot on our Fire Emoji update. The Louisana native teased the track on social media in the days leading up to its release, and we’ve been playing it consistently since it first landed on DSPs. Speaking of felines, Doja Cat also had a new song for us ahead of her highly anticipated Scarlet album.

As she continues to see “Paint The Town Red” find massive success on the charts, the California native showed us her “Demons” this month. In the song’s accompanying visual, Doja looks more chilling than ever in her sinister body makeup, though her lyricism is earning mass praise across social media. Interestingly, she and Lil Wayne have both been named as performers for the upcoming MTV VMAsm and we can’t wait to see what they have in store for us in the fall.

HNHH Fire Emoji Playlist

Others who nabbed coveted spots on the latest Fire Emoji playlist are JID and Lil Yachty (“Van Gogh”), and the Queen of Rap herself, Nicki Minaj. The mother of one is preparing The Barbz for Pink Friday 2, giving us a taste of what’s to come on her “Last Time I Saw You” single. Following that comes a collaboration from Maxo Kream and Key Glock called “Bonecrusher,” as well as 38 Spesh and Conway the Machine’s work with Benny The Butcher on “Goodfellas.”

Finally, closing things out for our first update of September are EARTHGANG and Spillage Village, who joined forced on “Die Today.” Find all of our latest hip-hop favourites exclusively on our Spotify Fire Emoji playlist.

August 26, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The first solo effort on this installment of Fire Emoji is Lil Yachty’s “TESLA.” After that we hear from Earl Sweatshirt and MIKE over The Alchemist’s production on “Sentry.” As for albums that dropped yesterday, Drake obviously failed to deliver For All The Dogs, but Burna Boy still came through to save the summer with his I Told Them LP. From that, we’ve picked “Thanks,” which includes another feature from the Dreamville head. For those who are hoping to close out August with a lit celebration, Tyga and YG’s work on “PARTy T1M3” is just what you need.

The City Girls still haven’t given us their next album, but they did go hard on their “Face Down” single earlier this week.

Dave and Tiakola’s “Meridian” follows, before Peezy and Key Glock take the penultimate spot with “No Amiris.” Finally, closing things out we have “Latex Gloves” from a seriously impressive trio – 38 Spesh, Conway the Machine, and Lloyd Banks.

August 19, 2023 by newhiphopnews

It’s a big release week for hip-hop albums and singles, and we’re here to ease you through that process with our weekly Fire Emoji playlist update. Whether it was long-awaited projects finally seeing the light of day or surprise drops, there’s a lot to love on this New Music Friday. First off is arguably the largest release this week: Quavo’s new album Rocket Power, dedicated to the late Takeoff’s memory. Unc and Phew reunite on “Patty Cake,” and Quavo started things off with fireworks on the opening track “Fueled Up.” Fans are raving about the tracklist online, picking up new tributes and homages to Take along the way.

Moreover, our Fire Emoji playlist also sums up a lot of the biggest singles this week. Rocket Power collaborator Future also dropped this week, and the Young Scooter collab “Hard To Handle” sees him in top form. Furthermore, Lil Tecca teamed up with Kodak Black for another great collab this week, “HVN ON EARTH,” which is a bit moodier but nonetheless engaging. On the other hand, Lil Durk switches up his vocal delivery a little bit on his new track “F**k U Thought,” bringing down the bombast a bit but still coming through with hard-hitting bars.

HNHH Fire Emoji Playlist

As far as anthems you’ll hear on a night out that dropped this week, Mike WiLL Made-It and Lil Uzi Vert linked up and have you covered with “Blood Moon.” On the other hand, Polo G began the rollout for his next album Hood Poet with the emotive and heartfelt “Barely Holdin’ On.” As such, there’s a lot of variety to sink your teeth into this week. After all, you can’t always be in party mode, and fortunately this week doesn’t restrict you to one zone.

Meanwhile, Draft Day, The Alchemist, and Lil Yachty came together for the surprising but excellent “Draft Day” this week. Finally, EST Gee’s new album EL TORO 2 holds no shortage of gritty and punch-packing tracks, most notably “FREE DOGGY” featuring 42 Dugg.

Nas & 50 Cent’s “Office Hours” Collab Is “Fire Emoji” AF

July 22, 2023 by newhiphopnews

With each weekend of the summer so far, the new releases from hip-hop and R&B artists have only grown hotter. Lil Uzi Vert finally nabbed the genre its first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200, and that seems to have motivated their contemporaries to unleash new singles and projects to keep the momentum going. Arguably the most noteworthy rap release this New Music Friday (July 21) came from Nas, who followed last year’s King’s Disease III with Magic 2, boasting appearances from 50 Cent and 21 Sav. For our Fire Emoji update, we’ve picked Nas’ link-up with his fellow New Yorker, “Office Hours,” which is followed by another dynamic duo – J. Cole and Bas.

The latter pair connected for “Passport Bros” earlier this week, marking yet another successful joint effort for the Dreamville leader this season. We’ve also been loving ASAP Rocky’s work on “RIOT (Rowdy Pipe’n)” with Pharrell, which appeared in the soon-to-be father of two’s dope new Beats ad spot a few days ago. Everything we’ve mentioned so far is undeniably impressive, but it’s Travis Scott’s “K-POP” featuring Bad Bunny and The Weeknd that’s already a standout contender for song of the summer.

HNHH Fire Emoji Playlist

Further down on the list we’ve got “Long Nights” from Canada’s own Smiley, as well as Jay Rock’s “Too Fast (Pull Over)” in tandem with Anderson .Paak and Latto. The 777 rap diva’s most recent feature comes just before her rumoured enemy’s Ice Spice’s catchy new, “Deli” track, which landed alongside three other new titles on her updated Like..? EP. Gucci Mane came through with heat in the form of “Married with Millions,” and from Babyface Ray’s album we’ve selected “Fly Gods” featuring Westside Gunn.

Today’s round-up closes with songs from Sleepy Hallow, Ghost Kidz and Vince Staples, and finally, Lil Gnar, Chief Keef, and Young Nudy’s “PB&J.” Tap into this week’s Fire Emoji update exclusively on Spotify above.
