Maxo Kream Spits From The Block In Houston For New Single “Judge The Plugg”: Stream

May 16, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Maxo Kream continues his pretty prolific 2024 streak with a “From The Block” performance in Houston for the 4 Shooters Only YouTube channel series, bringing us a woozy and wavy new single titled “Judged The Plugg.” As the titled suggests, this instrumental is a return to the bubbly, synth-heavy, and chilled-out plugg style of SoundCloud-esque trap music that hit its stride in the 2010s. However, the Texas MC’s consistent flow, clever wordplay flips, vivid and confident narratives, and effortlessly cool cadence makes this classic style sound good as new. It’s a solo cut following previous big collaborations so far this year, including That Mexican OT’s “Talkin In Screw” and a new team-up with 03 Greedo, “R.I.C.O.“

Furthermore, Maxo Kream takes a bit of a distinct thematic angle here when it comes to the lyrical matter, in a way that ties in with the song’s title and production style in a notably cohesive way. He speaks on his experience with the justice system, that disconnect from street life, and the contrast that exists as a result. It’s a pretty complete tale that goes over plenty of aspects of necessity, loyalty, parenthood, financial struggle, and more despite just a verse and refrain making up this track’s short runtime. Of course, we already knew that the “No Then You A H*e” spitter could get topical, as he proved for much of his career. That referenced single, in fact, is a tribute to his late father, and one of the more touching but coldly gritty rap songs of the year so far.

Quotable Lyrics
Before the bailiff read me rights, getting judged by the judge,
And the D.A. got a grudge, this s**t ain’t right
I don’t understand they laws, and they don’t understand my life,
My biggest flaw of them all is walking down and crashed on sight

Polo G Gives Emotional Performance On From The Block Track “Heavy Heart”

March 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Polo G is one of those rappers who is in a weird spot in his career. The Chicago, Illinois multi-talented product has put out some of the bigger hits of the late 2010s. But for most people, his style is becoming stale. Everything down to the flows, production, and topical focus, what made him pop off is not hitting the same anymore. Hopefully, Polo G can continue to win listeners back with “Heavy Heart.”

This track comes courtesy of the YouTube channel 4 Shooters Only. They are known for their hit series From The Block, which sees your favorite artists rap passionately in random locations. In this case, Polo G is performing “Heavy Heart” at his gorgeous home with rows of expensive cars. Fun fact, DDG, YouTuber and fellow rapper, recently filmed a vlog for his channel and he and Polo G took a look around at his “$3 million” car collection.

Listen To “Heavy Heart” By Polo G

For Polo G, “Heavy Heart” is not the only time he has collaborated with 4 Shooters Only. From what we can find, this is his second appearance. His last time on the channel was for “Diaries Of A Solder / Luh Da Raq” about a year ago. Interestingly though, neither of his three offerings have become streaming releases. For now, the only release in “Sorrys & Ferraris,” which dropped on February 16. HOOD POET, the next rumored project, still does not have a solid date yet, so who knows when that will happen.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new song, “Heavy Heart,” by Polo G? Do you think he should release this performance as a single, why or why not? Is this one of his better offerings as of late, why or why not? Do you think an album is on the way soon? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Polo G. Finally, stay with us for the most informative song posts throughout the week.

Quotable Lyrics:

I’m the hottest in this s***, even in the snowin’ winter
From them Chiraq streets, land of the coldest killers
Had a late blossom, now they can’t stop him
They barely show love to me, still fix they problems
Got murderin’ thugs with me, walk up, face shot ’em
Feel better with drugs in me to help face trauma

Cardi B Performs Her Lethal New Single “Enough” On From The Block

March 20, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Cardi B is fully back. She released her debut studio album Invasion Of Privacy six years ago and while she’s dropped a number of singles since then she finally appears to be back in album mode. That’s been the case because of two new songs she’s released in quick succession, marking her first two new tracks of 2024. The first of the bunch was “Like What” which dropped last month. Though fan hype for new material from Cardi was through the roof, the single was met with mixed reviews.

Over the weekend, Cardi unleashed her second new single of the year “Enough (Miami).” Unlike it’s predecessor fans were instantly in love with “Enough.” That’s why it’s no surprise Cardi is quickly getting all the mileage out of the track that she can. One of the ways she’s doing that is with a special “From The Block” performance of the song. The video dropped yesterday and already has more than 185k views. Fans rushed to the comments to praise both the song itself and Cardi’s hard-hitting performance. Check out the new From The Block version of “Enough” below.

Cardi B Delivers “Enough” From The Block

Success on YouTube is nothing new for Cardi B. Over the weekend, she broke the record for the most viewed rap video by a solo female on the entire platform. Her breakthrough single “Bodak Yellow” now sits at more than 1.1 billion views. It passed the record previously held by Nicki Minaj’s “Anaconda.” The vide for her new single “Enough” has already racked up more than 5.5 million views in just a few days.

Cardi also shared some sultry behind-the-scenes pics from the music video shoot earlier this week. The song has fans fully invested in what she’s delivering in her new era. What do you think of Cardi B’s performance of her new single “Enough” on From The Block? Are you looking forward to her highly-anticipated sophomore album later this year? Let us know in the comment section below.

Who Is 4Batz? The Viral Singer Behind “act ii: date @ 8”

January 19, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Historically speaking, most up-and-coming rappers and singers spend months or years trying to break into the industry before building up enough buzz to finally get recognition by Billboard charts. Jay-Z famously turned away J. Cole after a chance meeting in New York as Cole was trying to give him a CD with the very tunes that would inspire Jay to sign the 2014 Forest Hills Drive rapper years later. With the advent of platforms such as TikTok, however, rappers have been able to break onto the scene with immediate viral success, bypassing the preexisting barriers to the music industry with relative ease.

This is the case for 4batz, who exploded onto the scene with the recent two-pack release of “act I: stickerz 99” and “act ii: date @ 8.” The latter has even landed at No. 16 on Billboard‘s Hot R&B Songs chart. In addition to blowing up seemingly overnight and becoming a viral sensation, the rapper has also received co-signs from massive figures in the hip hop world such as Drake, Timbaland, and more, even appearing on a Facetime call with Kanye West. This meteoric rise has prompted many fans to wonder where he came from and where to follow him for more.

4batz Is A Dallas Native

A post shared by 4ShootersOnly (@4shootersonly)

4batz got his start growing up in Dallas and honed his craft before appearing on the hit web series From The Block. The series, which highlights local artists across the country, showcased the young up-and-coming artist’s skills with a December performance of his second track ever. 4batz shocked viewers around the world with his laid-back melodic sound, as he looks like the kind of rapper Danny Brown might refer to as “rapping like Batman.” Due to his status as a new figure in the music scene, very little is known about 4batz’s early origins. However, the artist will certainly be providing fans with a plethora of new info via lyrics and interviews in the coming months.

His Voice Is Surprising & Unique

The ski mask, gold grills, and general demeanor of 4batz may lead prospective listeners to believe the ensuing music will be full of rough and rugged lyrics about street life and smoking opps. Yet, 4batz has taken his sound in a completely different direction. The 22-year-old artist approaches the mic with a soothing, boyish tenor resembling Frank Ocean or Brent Faiyaz more closely than Chief Keef or DMX.

The melodic flows present within “act ii: date @ 8” have shocked crowds with their laid-back grooves and allowed listeners to lose themselves in the refreshing melodies of 4batz’s pitched-up croons. This juxtaposition between the rapper’s look and sound makes for some of the most creative and unique artistry in modern music and completes a persona that could only have been born and bred in the internet age.

He Touts An Impressive Online Following

Like many modern rappers, 4batz blew up primarily through TikTok before his landmark On The Block performance exposed his music to a wider array of fans. He currently touts an impressive following of just under 300,000 followers on the social media platform. After recently blowing up, 4batz holds 3.8 million monthly Spotify listeners. While these figures may not be impressive when compared to record-breaking artists such as Drake, this is surely a massive accomplishment for a singer with only two released tracks. By these figures, 4batz may be one of the most successful pound-for-pound singers to come out of the internet era.

Fans Are Eagerly Waiting For His Next Move

Based on the naming conventions of 4batz’s first two records, fans are currently anticipating the release of a rumored “act iii” track. It remains unknown whether this titling choice exists only for “act I: stickerz 99” and “act ii: date @ 8” or if he plans to continue the trend. Regardless, whatever the artist does next could make or break his newfound following, cementing him in the music world as more than a flash in the pan. While a full-length album is likely a ways away, the artist will almost surely have new music to please his growing base of listeners in the coming weeks. 4batz may have exploded onto the scene incredibly abruptly. Still, his incredible talent and newfound success have gone a long way toward securing his future in music.

October 24, 2023 by newhiphopnews

NLE Choppa found himself at the center of a bit of controversy this weekend. Overall, it all started when a family member reported him to be missing. However, he eventually came out and revealed that he just took a bit of time for himself. “I appreciate ya’ll showing concern but the missing narrative isn’t cool, especially knowing that people really do go missing everyday,” he wrote on social media. “I took a little time to myself to get back to my roots, but trust I’m all good. Apologies to anyone that was worried. We don’t run from battles, we take em chin up. IM BACK.”

Of course, it was great to hear that Choppa was doing okay. Whenever someone goes missing, there is a lot of panic that begins to set in.
