DaBaby & Sexyy Red Want You To “SHAKE SUMN” While Streaming Our “Fire Emoji” Playlist

by

After yet another week of New Music Friday releases, we’ve once again curated the best of the best on our Fire Emoji playlist for your listening pleasure. The list is a lengthy one, kicking off with Lil Baby’s latest, “Merch Madness,” which came accompanied by a new visual from the father of two. Afterward, we have a collaboration between Lil Tjay and NBA YoungBoy, “Project Walls.” It’s set to appear on the former’s 222 album which is due out later this month. Another noteworthy joint effort comes after in the form of Rico Beats and G Herbo’s “Real Spill.”

Holding things down for female artists today is Cardi B, who joined FendiDa Rappa on “Point Me 2.” This marks yet another successful remix for the New York icon in 2023, following her recent work with Latto on “Put It On Da Floor Agan.” As Gunna continues to promote his a Gift & a Curse project with new visuals, we’ve also added “fukumean,” in which he’s been accused of using a clone to play himself.

King Von’s estate continues to feed fans posthumous work, now coming through with “Heartless” featuring Tee Grizzley. Elsewhere, Sexyy Red continues to make her mark on the industry with salacious bars. She joined DaBaby for “SHAKE SUMN,” which is sure to motivate you to get moving, either at the gym or the club. From Lucki’s’ LP we’ve selected “Wholeworldslatt” featuring Veeze, and Mick Jenkins tapped JID to collaborate on “Smoke Break-Dance.”

YoungBoy’s second appearance came through in the form of “Slump,” and Babyface Ray reminded us he’s in his “Donda Bag” on his latest single and visual.

Lil Uzi Vert’s “Pink Tape” Breathes Life Into Today’s “Fire Emoji” Update

by

Unsurprisingly, today’s Fire Emoji playlist is mostly an homage to Lil Uzi Vert’s Pink Tape, which the Philadelphia native finally fed us after years of anticipation. The earliest first week sales projections suggest that the lengthy effort could become hip-hop’s first No. 1 album of 2023, which would certainly be exciting. If you’re curious about LUV’s LP, but don’t want to sit through the entire tracklist, our weekly picks are the perfect sample selection.

Kicking things off is “Flooded The Face,” which makes a great addition to any workout playlist. Our next pick, “Aye” features Travis Scott, marking yet another successful collaboration for him and Uzi. We’ve previously heard them together on “Watch” with Kanye West and “Go Off” alongside Quavo. We would be remiss not to include “Endless Fashion,” which is getting lots of love thanks to Nicki Minaj’s appearance. Our final Pink Tape pick is “Suicide Doors,” another solo effort from the Eternal Atake artist.

The Queen of Rap didn’t only connect with Uzi on our Fire Emoji update this weekend – she actually appears twice. Ahead of her Pink Friday 2 project, Minaj has also teamed up with Young Thug for “Money,” and the Barbz are having a hard time deciding which of her two new contributions they like better. In addition to that, we also hear from The Alchemist and Earl Sweatshirt on “RIP Tracy,” and Rylo Rodriguez shines on “End of the Road.”

Our final two picks for the first weekend of July are “TRUTH OR DARE” from CHIKA and Freddie Gibbs, along with Jay Rock and Kal Banx’s “Eastside.” Check out our full Fire Emoji playlist update exclusively on Spotify above.

Young Thug’s “BUSINESS IS BUSINESS” Brings So Many Bangers To Our “Fire Emoji” Playlist

by

The talk of the industry as of late has been mostly centred around how hip-hop has failed to produce a No. 1 single so far in 2023. Clearly, artists have heard the chatter and put in work since coming to this realiziation. This week’s batch of New Music Friday (June 23) arrivals is hotter than any others in recent memory. Unsurprisingly, Young Thug’s BUSINESS IS BUSINESS album is getting all the love at the top of today’s Fire Emoji playlist, with “Oh U Went” featuring Drake taking the first spot.

After that we have the second collaboration from Queen of Rap Nicki Minaj and 23-year-old Ice Spice. Following the “Princess Diana (Remix),” the new arrival is called “Barbie World.“ It’s due to appear on the soundtrack of Greta Gerwig’s upcoming Barbie movie. Another noteworthy Thugger title, “Want Me Dead” featuring 21 Sav comes after, as well as Stormzy and Fredo’s hot new “Toxic Trait” single. Elsewhere, fans of the late Juice WRLD were happy to hear his voice posthumously once again. This time he appeared on Lyrical Lemonade’s “Doomsday” alongside Cordae.

The rap divas are getting plenty of love today as well. We’re celebrating BIA’s work with Busta Rhymes on “BEACH BALL” plus Coi Leray’s “Spend It” featuring Saucy Santana. Speaking of the Boston-born baddie, she shared her sophomore album this weekend, from which we’ve also added “No Angels” with Lola Brooke to our round-up. A few noteworthy solo efforts that caught our attention are Key Glock’s “Presidential Rolex” and Thugger’s “Jonesboro,” as well as Lil Tjay’s reflection on his near-fatal shooting throughout “June 22nd.”

Our final picks for your streaming consideration are Finesse2tymes’ wild new “Shiesty” joint featuring Kali and Sexyy Red, and another posthumous track from King Von called “Robberies.” Check out today’s Fire Emoji update exclusively on Spotify above.

Gunna & More Bring Us Only Gifts With Bangers On Our “Fire Emoji” Playlist Update

by

This week had a lot of big music releases to go through, so it’s a good thing that we compiled the best of the best on our latest Fire Emoji playlist update. This Saturday (June 17), we brought you a whole album’s worth of material to dive into. Speaking of albums, there are too many highlights on Gunna’s latest, a Gift & a Curse to name, but we thought “rodeo dr,” “ca$h $hit,” and the music video-assisted “back to the moon” were particularly solid. Another great album to drop this week was Killer Mike’s powerful MICHAEL, and the track “SCIENTISTS & ENGINEERS” featuring Eryn Allen Kane, Future, and none other than André 3000 is a potent slice of its greatness. What’s more is that there might be more Mike and Dre in the future, but only time will tell.

Moving on, there’s the measured “Attention” from Doja Cat, ushering in her new album era and what fans believe is a different and exciting approach. Not only does it have critical acclaim, but it became the second-highest Spotify global streaming debut for a single by a female rapper. Next is Gucci Mane’s “Bluffin’” with Lil Baby, quite the ATL team-up where you see the city’s effortless talent run from generation to generation. Baby also appeared on “Shoe Box,” a taster from Kap G’s latest full-length, HorHey.

Of course, we have to mention the new Trippie Redd single with his girlfriend Skye Morales, “Took My Breath Away.” Compared to his previous rage-centric album, it seems like A Love Letter To You 5 will return to his moodier and more genre-fusing tendencies- but with some solid rapping, to boot. Coi Leray’s dropping an album soon, too, and “Run It Up” is one of its last teaser cuts before release. In addition, the prolific NBA YoungBoy appears on RJAE’s YOU’RE THE PROBLEM on the song “Too Gone.”

Meanwhile, DDG tapped BIA and NLE Choppa for a buttery remix of the track “I’m Geekin.” Last but certainly not least, Mike Dimes and Denzel Curry are absolutely monstrous on “ARSENAL,” a standout from the former’s new project TEXAS BOY. What was your favorite song or album to drop this week? Let us know in the comments and, as always, come back to HNHH for more great new music.

by

The newest edition of HotNewHipHop’s weekly Fire Emoji is here to carry you through the weekend with the hottest tracks of the last seven days. Among the newest additions are songs by Yeat and Young Thug, Lil Durk, Diddy and City Girls, as well as several more.

As for Lil Durk, his highly-anticipated new album, Almost Healed, finally dropped this week after a delay, earlier this month. The project boasts collaborations with J. Cole, Future, Morgan Wallen, and more. As for the Fire Emoji playlist, his songs “War Bout It,” featuring 21 Savage, “Pelle Coat,” and “Grandson,” featuring Kodak Black all made the cut. He’s one of the most-featured artists on the playlist for this week along with Kodak Black, who just dropped his new album, Pistols & Pearls.

Pistols & Pearls sees Kodak work with EST GEE, Loe Shimmy, Lil Crix, and more. For Fire Emoji, the track “Dope Boy Magic” from the project gets a slot as does “Gunsmoke Town.” When he announced the project, Kodak hinted that it would be his last with Atlantic Records. “THANX to EVERYONE THATS BEEN ON THIS JOURNEY WITH ME LUVIN & THUGGIN!” he wrote on social media at the time. “I COULDNT FIND PEACE WITHOUT ALL THE VIOLENCE @atlanticrecords It’s Been Well !!! Nothing But Gratitude & The Utmost Respect.”

As for Yeat and Young Thug’s collaboration, “My Wrist,” it arrives as the YSL rapper is in jail for conspiracy to violate Georgia’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act. Future came forward on social media, this week, to share a “Free Slime” shirt in support of his longtime collaborator. Thug has been in jail since May 2022, when he and 29 other people associated with YSL were arrested on gang-related charges.

In recent weeks, many more top artists have been shouted out on Fire Emoji. KAYTRAMINÉ, Symba, Kevin Gates, Killer Mike, and NBA YoungBoy, among others, have all made the cut. Check out last week’s update to the Fire Emoji playlist below.

Symba Is The “Top G” On Our “Fire Emoji” Playlist Today

We’re midway through another weekend, making it the perfect time to deliver our latest Fire Emoji playlist update. At the very top of our list today comes a collaboration from Belly and Rick Ross on “Cocaine Spoon” from the former’s new Mumble Rap 2 project. The 11-track effort is just one of several that made its debut on New Music Friday (May 19), also boasting guest appearances from NAV, Gucci Mane, and Gil Scott-Heron.

Carrying the torch for female rappers is Connie Diiamond, who impressed us yet again with her latest single, “What They Do.” We also have quickly fallen in love with Aminé and Kaytranada’s joint effort, KAYTRAMINÉ. If you don’t have time to check out the full album, we suggest starting with “Master P” as a sampler, which is sure to lure you toward other titles on the tracklist. Following that comes Jay Worthy’s latest, “The Plug,” on which he connected with an iconic trio – Roc Marciano, Kokane, and Ab-Soul.

Ahead of the arrival of his highly anticipated LP next weekend, Lil Durk has given us another single. Earlier this month and J. Cole connected on “All My Life,” and now, he’s worked with EST Gee on “Spinnin’.” While Toosii found success all alone on “Favorite Song” earlier this year, he tapped Future to appear on the “Toxic Version” this weekend, which fans of the duo are already loving. Elsewhere in the news, Hendrix has said he’s hard at work on Dirty Sprite 3, much to hip-hop head’s delight.

Finally, we have a solo offering from Symba, called “Top G.” The hot new single came shortly after the lyricist shared his thoughts on Ja Morant’s ongoing situation with the NBA, which has warranted plenty of celebrity reactions over the past few days. Stream this week’s full Fire Emoji update exclusively on Spotify above. Did we leave out any of your New Music Friday favourites?

Lil Baby’s New Single, “Go Hard,” Sets The Tone For Our Latest “Fire Emoji” Playlist

by

The first New Music Friday of May has certainly brought with it plenty of evidence that our favourite lyricists aren’t coming to play this month. From must-hear new projects landing by DaBaby, Destroy Lonely, and Conway the Machine to singles arriving via Belly, IDK, and Lil Baby, we’ve got plenty to get into on this weekend’s Fire Emoji playlist update. Leading the way is the latter, Atlanta-based artist, who dropped off “Go Hard” this past Wednesday.

Besides new music from the My Turn hitmaker, we also selected a must-listen joint from Conway’s WON’T HE DO IT project. Our personal favourite is “Brooklyn Chop House” featuring Fabolous and Benny The Butcher, though we also spotlighted “Brucifix” on our new releases panel. Following that comes a collaborative effort from JELEEL! and Chow Lee, called “CONFETTI!,” as well as a solo effort from Belly, “Ambiance.”

As for other noteworthy joint titles, “Pissy” from Gucci Mane, Nardo Wick, and Roddy Ricch comes to mind, along with “Pinot Noir” from IDK, Jucee Froot, and Saucy Santana. We also heard SleazyWorld Go tap Polo G for “Off The Court,” and Lil Uzi Vert makes serious waves with their work on Snow Strippers’ “It’s A Dream.” From DaBaby’s CALL DA FIREMAN EP, we’ve been loving his “SELLIN CRACK” collaboration with Offset. Finally, from Destroy Lonely’s highly anticipated If Looks Could Kill album, we’ve picked two songs for your streaming consideration.

The first, “superstar,” appears midway through our list. At the very end, you’ll find our other choice – “money & sex – bonus” with Ken Carson. Of the 26 titles on the 21-year-old’s project, it’s the only one he included a feature on, letting his captivating presence, lyrical abilities and confidence carry him through the rest on his own. Tap into our weekly Fire Emoji playlist update on Spotify, and let us know if there are any other titles you would’ve added in the comments.

Jack Harlow Leads The Way On Our “Fire Emoji” Playlist Update With Tracks From “Jackman”

by

As April comes to a close, we’re rapidly approaching the halfway mark of 2023. While we’ve yet to hear from some of our favourite artists, others have been proudly showing out over the past four months, fueling the industry and bringing joy to their fans with new singles and albums. One name, in particular, who hip-hop heads were pleasantly surprised to hear from this weekend is Jack Harlow, who delivered ten featureless rap-heavy tracks on his Jackman album. As expected, a selection of titles from the project have landed on today’s (April 29) Fire Emoji playlist update.

At the top of our list is “They Don’t Love It,” which is currently sparking an online debate surrounding the Kentucky native. While he proudly declared himself “the coldest white boy” since Eminem, many Twitter users argue that Mac Miller, among others, is more deserving of the title. Another noteworthy song from his third studio album is “Gang Gang Gang,” which finds Harlow chiefly flexing his improved pen game. Apart from the 25-year-old’s latest, we’ve also picked collaborations from Rich The Kid, Fivio Foreign, and Jay Critch (“Still Movin’”), as well as Conway the Machine’s “The Chosen” with Jae Skeese.

Our sole new female Fire Emoji single comes from New York’s Lola Brooke, who brought plenty of nostalgia with her “Just Relax” single. Along with that came an accompanying music video, during which the 29-year-old got to turn up at a lit house party with her friends. Elsewhere, Boosie Badazz, Kodak Black, and Jeezy formed a trifecta for the remix of “Rocketman.” Finally, we selected Just Juice’s joint effort with Logic and Trippie Redd, “Sweeter Scars,” for your weekend listening consideration.

Swizz Beatz & Lil Wayne Light Up This Week’s “Fire Emoji” Playlist Update

by

After another round of impressive New Music Friday arrivals yesterday (April 21), we’re back with our weekly Fire Emoji playlist update. Today’s lineup is one of our longest in a minute, and it kicks off with two new arrivals from NBA YoungBoy’s Don’t Try This At Home project. The first is “What You Say,” featuring Post Malone and The Kid LAROI, and following that comes a solo effort from the Louisana native called “Choppa Docter.” Prior to releasing his project, YB also shared collaborations with Nicki Minaj and Mariah the Scientist as singles.

Armani White delivered serious heat in the form of “SILVER TOOTH.”` with A$AP Ferg this week. The song is perfect to add to your S/S 2023 playlist and is just the start of what’s to come from the Def Jam artist later this year. Belly is another name we deemed Fire Emoji-worthy today, thanks to his work on “American Nightmare.” Of course, we would be remiss not to mention Lil Wayne and Swizz Beatz’s work together on “This Sh*t Right Here” from the latter’s new Hip Hop 50: Vol 2 project.

The release recommendations don’t stop there. Tee Grizzley and Skilla Baby’s joint effort, “B&E Pt. 1” has also been deemed a must-listen, as well as a headline-making hit from one of our favourite rising female rap divas. Latto’s “Put It On Da Floor” has been stirring up plenty of attention online after she teased it during her first weekend performing at Coachella. Coi Leray accused the 777 artist of body shaming her with her lyrics, though she’s since admitted to over-reacting about the situation.

For our final Fire Emoji selection of the weekend, we’ve picked Moneybagg Yo’s “Motion God.” The single arrives amid criticism coming toward the southern star over the steep prices at his new restaurant, which he expertly clapped back recently. Read more about that here, and tap into our weekly playlist update exclusively on Spotify below.

Drake, Lil Yachty, & More Highlight New “Fire Emoji” Update

by

Drake, Lil Yachty, and Joey Bada$$ kick off the star-studded new update to HotNewHipHop’s Fire Emoji playlist. With Drake, his song, “Search & Rescue,” leads the way while Joey provides “Fallin’” and Yachty contributes “Strike (Holster).” Other artists to land spots on the newest Fire Emoji include NBA YoungBoy, Conway the Machine, and more.

With Drake’s newest song, the cover art notably features a lookalike of Kim Kardashian. He previously sampled Kanye West’s ex-wife during a snippet of a recent song titled “Rescue Me.” “I didn’t come this far just to come this far and not be happy. Remember that,” she says in an audio clip taken from Keeping Up With The Kardashians. The song comes as Drake prepares to hit the road for his upcoming It’s All A Blur tour with 21 Savage. The Toronto rapper previously collaborated with 21 Savage on their album, Her Loss, in 2022. They also performed together at Harlem’s Apollo Theater.

As for Yachty, his single, “Strike (Holster),” comes as his first rap song since taking a psychedelic-rock turn on his 2023 album Let’s Start Here. A snippet of the song first emerged last year and it’s been a highly-requested release from his fans in the time since. It arrives despite Yachty recently remarking to Billboard, “Fuck any of the albums I dropped before this one.” He later clarified on Twitter that he meant no disrespect to rap. “It’s not about respecting rap, it’s about being respected as more than a rapper,” he said. “I create music in more than just that lane.”

In recent weeks, several songs from the deluxe version of Tyler, The Creator’s latest album, Call Me If You Get Lost: The Estate Sale, made the Fire Emoji cut. Juice WRLD’s posthumous single, “The Light,” also was highlighted, as well as multiple songs off of JPEGMAFIA and Danny Brown’s recent collaborative album, Scaring The Hoes. Check out the latest edition of Fire Emoji below.
