Teezo Touchdown gave a shout-out to Drake on Instagram, Friday, for welcoming him on the tracklist to his new album, For All The Dogs. Sharing the cover art on Instagram, he noted his appreciation for the Toronto rapper’s “hospitality” and “professionalism.”

“For all the dogs that’s driving around in Beaumont,” Teezo began. “Congratulations @champagnepapi thank u for ur hospitality, professionalism and love for what u do.” He shared a thank you message for God as well. Chance The Rapper reacted in the comments section, remarking that Teezo “went crazy” on the album.

Prior to tapping him for an appearance on For All The Dogs, Drake praised Teezo on Instagram back in August. In doing so, he labeled the rapper’s then-unreleased debut album, How Do You Sleep at Night?, some of the “best music” he had ever heard.” “Usually it’s a cut throat cryptic caption for the ones that turned on the gang members but tonight I just heard some of the best music ever so I am happy and I will spare you little birdies thanks to @teezotouchdown,” Drake wrote at the time. Check out Teezo’s message for Drake below.

He dropped the project on Friday after a brief delay. Following the release of the album, Drake has said that he’ll be taking a break from music to focus on his health. He’s currently finishing up the It’s All A Blur tour. Be on the lookout for further updates on HotNewHipHop.

Drake Says Lil Yachty Made “For All The Dogs” What It Is

October 8, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Drake finally unveiled his eagerly-anticipated new album last week, For All The Dogs. As expected, the project is jam-packed with high-profile features from the likes of J. Cole, SZA, Sexyy Red, and even the Canadian hitmaker’s 5-year-old son, Adonis. Of course, the album also includes a feature from Lil Yachty on “Another Late Night.” The duo stars in a far-out, Cole Bennett-directed accompanying music video for the mellow track.

During an episode of Drake’s new show Table For One ahead of the release, he gave Lil Yachty a call. They chatted about Yachty’s contributions to the album, and Drake described how much the 26-year-old impacted his creative process. “I don’t think this album is what it is if I don’t get to run everything by you,” he told him. “If I don’t get to sit in the studio and write with you, and think with you, and if you don’t send me beats, and if you don’t tell me what you believe in or don’t believe in.”

Drake On Lil Yachty’s Influence On For All The Dogs

Drake went on to share some words of wisdom with listeners, emphasizing how crucial it is to have people in your life that will tell you the truth, whether it’s good or bad. “The realest sh*t you can get is somebody that cares about you enough to tell you their real opinion,” he explained. Lil Yachty is credited on five different songs on For All The Dogs.

Fans are split when it comes to Lil Yachty’s influence on Drake. Some are calling for them to put out a joint album sometime in the near future, while others think they should avoid working together completely. What do you think of Lil Yachty’s contributions to Drake’s new album? How are you liking For All The Dogs so far? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates on Drake and Lil Yachty.

Chief Keef Unveils His Would-Be Verse On Drake’s “For All The Dogs,” Fans Blast It

October 8, 2023 by newhiphopnews

There were plenty of big and maybe unexpected features on Drake’s hyped album, For All The Dogs. There were multiple appearances from Teezo Touchdown and SZA. Sexyy Red delivered her raunchy and unfiltered verse on “Rich Baby Daddy.” PARTYNEXTDOOR, while a frequent collaborator with Drizzy, has been reluctant to put out new material and features, but he joined his close friend for the massive project. J. Cole hopped on a track with him for the first time in 10 years. These were all fairly surprising, but Chief Keef has to be another name to include here.

You can find him on track 16 “All The Parties” and while it is a brief showing, it has still been a big deal. Chief Keef is highly respected in the hip-hop space and Drake knew that he had to grab him for this project. Keef just delivers a short chorus and he never gets repeated again. But, recently, the Chicago rapper revealed to fans that there was supposed to be a verse from him.

Chief Keef Teases His Left Off Verse From “All The Parties”

DJ Akademiks reposted the audio clip and needlessly said, fans are not digging it. The caption on the video reads a short bar from Keef. “She laughed her draws off I tickled the b****.” Fans did not hold back, with one saying, “He’s overrated asf but he’s so well respected in rap that nobody admits it.” Another chimes in, “Yea keep that.” While a fair amount are not feeling it, it would be interesting to see if the song will suffer from fewer streams because of the shorter inclusion of Chief Keef in the final edition.

What are your initial thoughts on this unreleased version of “All The Parties” from Drake and Chief Keef? Do you think Drake should have included this verse in the final version? Or, do you agree with the fans takes that it was good that it did not make it? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind be sure to leave all of your thoughts and opinions in the comments section below. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest breaking news around Drake, Chief Keef, and the rest of the music world.

Drake, Tems & More Bring Smooth Waves To Our Latest “R&B Season” Playlist Update

October 8, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Welcome back to our R&B Season playlist, whose update this week is full of October’s Very Own and other great artists to strike up a vibe. First up is, to no one’s surprise, Drake’s new album For All The Dogs, which has plenty of soulful highlights to mention. The OVO reunion on “Members Only” with PARTYNEXTDOOR, though, can’t be missed, as it throws it back to their classic collabs with dry rimshots and a watery atmosphere. Of course, they also share a lot of vocal chemistry, and we’d expect no less from the Canadian duo. In addition, Drizzy came through with a gorgeous, minimal, but powerful piano ballad on the song “Bahamas Promises.”

Furthermore, that’s not the only OVO representation on our R&B Season playlist this week. Majid Jordan also came through with a single, “Hands Tied,” that is even more subtle and spacey in comparison to the For All The Dogs cuts. This one has more of a rock-reminiscent rhythm, with steady percussion but occasional guitar strums, but one that’s elevated by woozy synths and soft singing. Overall, the duo crafts another transportive record that’s perfect for a sunset drive.

HNHH R&B Season Playlist: Stream

Next up this R&B Season is Tems, who once again stunned with her gorgeous tone and melodies on “Me & U.” Don’t let the chilled-out Afrobeat soundscape fool you: the track is still as danceable and wavy as any other from the superstar. Another standout release this week came courtesy of Omar Apollo, who dropped the Live For Me EP. Its title track is a laid-back alt-R&B jam that spotlights his emotive performance with sharp percussion and soft pianos. There’s a similar showcase on RealestK’s “It’s You,” whose vocals take center stage along with a great performance from BIA as the featured guest.

Meanwhile, RUSSELL! brought the old-school funk and mixed it with sultry lusting on their latest single, “JUST LIKE CANDY.” Finally, Arin Ray borrows quite heavily from hip-hop production for the hard-hitting “Wait So Long.” If you want to check heat like this out, listen to our R&B Season playlist above. Also, stick around on HNHH for more great music releases each week.

Drake’s Personal Chef Made Sexyy Red Chicken Alfredo

October 8, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Sexyy Red and Drake have gotten pretty close over the past few months. After dropping a few marriage jokes, Red appeared on For All The Dogs‘ “Rich Baby Daddy”. Furthermore, in a recent post on Instagram, Red revealed that while chilling with Drake, she complained about being hungry. Drake referred her to his personal chef, who proceeded to make Red chicken alfredo.

However, the dish itself was roasted online. “Dollar general pasta,” one person wrote. “LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOO dollar tree noodles,” another echoed. “Chef did not care for her lol that’s fs microwaved pasta,” a third noted. Meanwhile, some people took aim at the chef for a lack of effort. “Cmon chef a lil broccoli, some bell peppers sumnnn,” one person noted. In all fairness it’s not the best picture of what does appear to be a pretty sad and weirdly wet (but not in a sauce way) tub of chicken alfredo. Whatever Drake is paying his personal chef, it may be too much.

Meanwhile, Red spoke out after For All The Dogs was released. “Thank u Drake for supporting me all year and letting me b apart of your amazing album,” Red wrote on social media. Furthermore, she had nothing but good things to say about the album as a whole. “Thank you Drakeeeeeeee ice me df out den,” she wrote. “Big boss sht I appreciate dat big dawg,” Red said of the release. For All The Dogs is already projected for a pretty high chart debut. Meanwhile, “First Person Shooter”, which features J. Cole, has been projected for a #1 single debut.

Elsewhere, Red is also dealing with the fallout of having her sex tape leaked on Instagram. Many people have weighed in, either supporting or deriding Red for it. Red was “heartbroken” and genuinely upset that the video had leaked. That side of things is a developing story. Be sure to follow all the latest music news here at HotNewHipHop.

Drake Recalls Writing For Dr. Dre On “For All The Dogs” Track “Away From Home”

October 8, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Fans are still unpacking new details from Drake’s recently released album, For All The Dogs, whether it’s lyrical nods or production nuances. A couple of bars on the album that seem like any other come-up story, though, actually have a lot of context. The reference in question appears on the project’s penultimate cut, “Away From Home,” and is about Drizzy’s time writing for Dr. Dre. “My life like ‘The Matrix’ / Even got on 106 & Park with ‘Replacement,’” he rapped on the cut. “My mama was my manager, my uncle was my agent / Dr. Dre’ll send a n***a home, that took patience.”

While this might seem like an innocuous reference, the deeper history behind this connection relates to a 2016 interview. In it, Drake spoke to author John Seabrook, who had published a book titled The Song Machine: Inside The Hit Factory. Furthermore, their conversation covered a breadth of topics, but centered around the Toronto titan’s time being a songwriter for the legendary Californian. Apparently, these sessions date back to when he was about 19 years old, so around 2005. As such, this is a fascinating insight into the 36-year-old’s early career phases.

Drake’s “Away From Home”: Stream

“It was some of the most strenuous, militant s**t I’ve ever done,” Drake told Seabrook of his experience writing for Dr. Dre. “But no useable songs came out of it. When I think of how he worked us, it’s no wonder he didn’t get anything out of it. It was just writers in a room churning out product all day long.” With that context in mind, it’s understandable why he would say that the process “took patience.” It’s a bit of a negative picture of the process, but it’s not like the Beats businessman has been shy about his difficult creative process and its shifts in the past.

Meanwhile, there are a whole lot of writers that contributed to For All The Dogs, excluding its features. If anyone knows how stressful and difficult the process of writing a hit can be these days, it’s Aubrey Graham. Hard work in that department clearly pays off, though, and it’s at the core of artistry everywhere. For more news and the latest updates on Drake and Dr. Dre, come back to HNHH.

Anthony Fantano Reacts To “For All The Dogs”: “This Is A Top 10 Drake Song”: Watch

October 8, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The Internet’s busiest music nerd recently reacted to Drake’s For All The Dogs on stream, and his thoughts might surprise you. For those unaware, Anthony Fantano (The Needle Drop on YouTube) is arguably the most popular, respected, and simultaneously most notorious music critic online right now. Following a string of negative reviews, the Toronto superstar actually took shots at him head-on via a Twitter direct message, which Drizzy himself exposed. As such, you can imagine that people don’t expect Fantano to be an OVO fan. However, amid a lot of other takes, he actually had a lot of nice things to say about the new album.

For example, Anthony Fantano called Drake’s track “Tried Our Best” a top 10 track in his discography. Calling it “one of his best songs in a long time,” the reviewer called it a beautiful cut. Still, he said there were only a couple of bars that he was lukewarm on, so it’s a bit of a back-handed compliment. Regardless of that, The Needle Drop labeled it a great progression, much to the disbelief of his fanbase in the chat. Maybe that’s not because they disagree, but because the Connecticut native is usually not a fan of the 6 God’s material, especially the slower and smoother offerings.

All that said, Anthony Fantano still had his fair share of criticisms for the project on first impact. We’ll see what his review looks like in a few days, and it will be interesting to see if Drake responds to this in any way. After all, we know that he isn’t shy about blasting criticism of his work and reopening past wounds. In the case of For All The Dogs, that’s what’s happening right now with his Joe Budden feud, who wasn’t fond of it.

Meanwhile, The Needle Drop fanbase knows that the bar for a good Aubrey project in his eyes isn’t high. Perhaps this will become one of his favorite albums from him in years, but at the end of the day, who cares? All that matters is your thoughts on For All The Dogs, and that fans of either are getting a lot of entertainment right now. You can check out Melon’s full reaction to the LP here. With all that in mind, stay posted on HNHH for more on Anthony Fantano and the latest news and updates on Drake.

Drake & Joe Budden’s Beef Seemingly Continues As The Rapper Posts Subtle Sports-Related Jabs Online

October 8, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Drake’s latest solo album, For All The Dogs, has stirred up several heavy online debates. From the blatant featured guest omissions and accusations of failing to appropriately credit other artists’ work to the speculated disses on the project, Drake’s latest has been a constant topic of conversation online. However, despite trending across social media, he’s opted not to issue a response.

Then Joe Budden critiqued the album during a recent episode of his self-titled podcast. Immediately after getting wind of Budden’s remarks, Drake hopped into the Instagram comments to clap back. Now, via Drake’s Instagram Stories, the beef seemingly continues.

In the series of posts, Drake pulled inspiration from a tense stand-off between several titans in the National Basketball Association (NBA). “You thought you was Kobe , ” wrote Drake, quoting basketballer Draymond Green’s infamous jab at now-retiree Paul Pierce.

For viewers of the post who didn’t know about the exchange, Drake uploaded the video clip as well. Where Green pokes at Piercing, saying, ”Chasing that farewell tour? They don’t love you like that.”

Drake repurposed the shade to make fun of Budden’s retirement from rap music to pursue entertainment media full-time, which he did after expressing that he felt unappreciated in music. Below, you can see Budden’s original remarks that might have kickstarted this back-and-forth.

Ebro Weighs In On Joe Budden & Drake Beef

October 8, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Ebro offered up some very nuanced thoughts about the beef that has emerged between Drake and Joe Budden in the wake of For All The Dogs‘ release. “Jay Z in 2009 on Blueprint 3 was making songs with Drake, Cole & Cudi and was being “Young Forever” …. Now did we view that as artists he should not be collaborating with? Did we view that content and those collaborators as too young for him? Regardless of whether u like it. Joe Budden didn’t fail at music. He can still make music. It seems Joe Budden chose not to play the “music business game” and continually chase charts and do anything to stay relevant in music. Drake is choosing to keep playing to the same recipe that has given him success,” Ebro said in a pair of tweets.

The beef between Drake and Budden emerged after the rapper and podcast host said Drizzy was “rapping for children” on For All The Dogs. “You thought you was Kobe,” Drake said in response on Instagram along with the infamous exchange between Draymond Green and Paul Pierce that sparked the line to begin with. It’s pretty clear that the line was directed at Budden and his previous forays into music.

— the Old Man Ebro (@oldmanebro) October 7, 2023

While Budden is beefing with Drake about the album itself, For All The Dogs contains multiple instances of Drake cooking up some beef within the industry. “Fear Of Heights” has been taken as a shot at Rihanna. Meanwhile, “8AM in Charlotte” is thought to contain disses of both Kanye and NBA YoungBoy. While not so much a beef, “Another Late Night” sees Drizzy take aim at people claiming an inappropriate relationship between himself and Millie Bobby Brown. Pusha T and Esperanza Spalding also catch strays on the album.

However, there are a couple of people coming after Drake for legal reasons. Two separate artists have accused Drizzy of sampling without permission. British synth-pop band Pet Shop Boys have accused Drake of using their 1986 hit “West End Girls” without permission on “All The Parties”. Meanwhile, Rye Rye has said that her vocals appear without permission on “Calling For You”. Drake has not yet responded to either of these allegations.

Birdman Tells Charlamagne Tha God To “Respek” Drake

October 8, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Birdman is coming up for his boy Drake. The legendary producer took aim at two of the most prominent critics of For All The Dogs – Joe Budden and Charlamagne Tha God. “Calm down brother 4this real gangsta shit,” Birdman aimed at Budden. “I think you mean good and I respek you even thou we had our difference but I respek you @cthagod but respek @champagnepapi,” the producer told the radio host.

The defense comes after both men took shots at Drake’s new album. Budden said Drake was “rapping for children”. Meanwhile, Charlamagne had spent the weeks leading up to the album’s releasing beef with Drake and then trying to walk it back as stage as Drizzy’s fans turned on him. Birdman also stepped in after Druski trolled Drake and, more importantly, Cash Money. Birdman has never been one to take any sort of slander towards Drake or the legendary Young Money crew lying down.

Birdman And Charlamagne Reportedly Squash Beef

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by RapTV (@rap)

The shot at Charlamagne comes a few days after The Breakfast Club host claimed that the two had put their long-standing beef behind them. Charlamagne told HipHopDX that all it took to end his beef with Birdman was a lengthy phone call. “He’s an OG that I look up to as far as what he’s built, as far as being a mogul. You can’t deny him,” Charlamagne told the outlet at the BET Hip Hop Awards. “[Big Bank] put us on the phone one time and I was able to tell him that [I look up to what he’s done]. It was just mutual respect. That was a fulfilling conversation for me.”

The beef between the two industry icons dates back to 2016. It stemmed from an interview that lasted just a few minutes. Birdman felt that Charlamagne and his radio co-hosts didn’t respect his name and status. Later he would drop a single, “Respek”, that called back to the whole debacle. While the beef went dormant over the years, it never truly went away until now.
