Young Thug Reunites With Travis Scott, Future And Lil Baby In Studio

Young Thug is back. The rapper is free after undergoing the longest criminal trial in Georgia history, and he’s ready to resume his career. Thug received overwhelming support from his industry peers, many of whom celebrated his release on Instagram. Now, however, the time has come to get in the studio. Young Thug posted a photo from a recording session on November 10, and the artists who appeared alongside him have fans everywhere salivating at the mouth for new music.

The photo in question is a bit blurry, but the rappers present are unmistakable. Young Thug appears to be working on songs with fellow superstars Travis Scott, Future and Lil Baby. They have been some of Thugger’s most frequent collaborators over the years. Future recorded a collab album with the rapper in 2017. Travis Scott featured Thug on his breakthrough mixtape and first two albums. Lil Baby, meanwhile, is a YSL affiliate and one of Thug’s most successful proteges. There are tons of classic songs between these four men, and the fact that they are all present in the studio together suggests that there’s a huge Young Thug comeback around the corner.

Young Thug Teased A Lil Baby Collab On Twitter

Those who have been paying attention to Young Thug’s social media know that a Baby collab is eminent. On November 3, just four days after his release, Thug confirmed his plans to link back up with Lil Baby on a new song. “Wham let’s drop one on these rats Peter,” he wrote. Baby responded via Instagram Stories: “Wish ya none but billions jack! #whatwhamsaysgoes.” The hashtag that closed the statement out began to pop up on Billboards throughout Los Angeles. Fans have interpreted this as confirmation of Thug and Baby’s friendship, as well as their dislike of alleged “rat” Gunna.

DJ Akademiks Alleges Future Was Unaware Of Kendrick Lamar’s Drake Diss On “Like That”

There are still a lot of lingering questions about the 2024 rap beef that dominated the year: Kendrick Lamar, Drake, and absolutely everything in between. Understandably so, we might add, as there are still a lot of artists dynamics that we can’t make a solid judgement call on these days amid reconciliation rumors. For example, one question mark is Future’s involvement, as it seems like his feud with the 6ix God isn’t as deep or consequential as other conflicts. In fact, DJ Akademiks recently suggested during his livestream that Pluto didn’t even know that K.Dot was going to do what he did on “Like That,” fully kicking the battle into gear.

“Even with Drake and Future, even though they haven’t spoke… It was never that deep,” DJ Akademiks remarked on his livestream. “I heard that – allegedly. Now, I don’t know if this is true. This is one I’m like, yo, if this ain’t true… S**t, I’m skeptical of it, too. They say Future claims he ain’t know that Kendrick was going to diss Drake on motherf***ing ‘Like That.’ I don’t know if that’s true. I don’t know if that’s true, chat, I don’t know if that one’s true. But that’s what supposedly is the thought. That is the thought or that is the explanation that has kind of trickled down. Again, they still haven’t spoke. But that’s the explanation. Which, you know, maybe that goes towards eventually something happening. It feels like deescalation’s happening a little bit, right?”

DJ Akademiks Theorizes About Kendrick Lamar, Drake & Future

https://twitter.com/itsavibe/status/1855032839273607213

Even if this Kendrick Lamar, Drake, and Future theory is true, no way that Fewtch didn’t sign off on all this before dropping it. Also, what would this even look like? Was he in the studio reacting like a content creator when he heard Kendrick spit his “Like That” verse, or did he hear about it later on? Regardless, amid conflicting reconciliation rumors, this is an interesting thought.

Maybe we’ll get a solid answer on all this one day, but don’t expect it anytime soon. For now, fans and hip-hop media personalities only have theories as to what happened with Kendrick Lamar, Drake, Future, and company.

FERG Gives Fans His Most Vulnerable Album Yet With “DAROLD”

FERG is back. The former ASAP Mob standout has been through a lot over the last few years. The most obvious of which is a name change. FERG has dropped from the ASAP from his stage name, which has allowed him to focus more on his craft as an individual. DAROLD, his latest album, is an example of this focus. The rapper manages to take his signature sound and refine it. The attempts to water his singular talents down with mainstream sounds has largely dissipated, and in its place is a batch of fun and off kilter songs.

FERG has generally been viewed as the goofy yin to ASAP Rocky’s yang. The rapper gets a bit more serious on DAROLD, however. Songs like “Casting Spells” and “Pool” are shocking admissions of stress and guilt set to somber, piano-driven beats. “Pool” is an especially poignant song about struggling with the desire to prove oneself as traditionally masculine. It’s a beautiful track, and one that would’ve been inconceivable coming from FERG just five years ago. The production on the album is uniformly stripped down, which proves to be a smart decision. FERG is an expressive emcee, and he sounds best when he has simple beats to anchor his ad-libs. This is evident on the bangers “Allure” and “Thought I Was Dead,” which has nothing to do with the new Tyler, The Creator song of the same name.

Let us know what you think of this brand new album, in the comments section down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will continue to keep you informed on all of your favorite artists and their upcoming projects.

Future Brings Tally To Five With Music Video For “Brazzier”

It’s hard to deny just how impactful and important Future is to the modern-day hip-hop scene. He’s without a doubt one of the most influential of his time, as one of the most prolific. The grind never stops for the Atlanta native who continues to churn out record after record. He’s dropped multiple projects for most of his career, and a lot of them still manage to top the charts. 2024 is no exception, as Pluto worked alongside his partner in crime Metro Boomin for WE DON’T TRUST YOU and WE STILL DON’T TRUST YOU. Both debuted at number one on the Hot 200 despite just being a few weeks apart. However, he managed to pull off a hat trick with MIXTAPE PLUTO. The September solo release sold 129,000 units and because of that, he became the first rapper to have three number ones in a six-month span.

Despite there being some reservations about it, Future’s hardcore fans loved it, and they certainly showed out for him. To repay them, he’s been dropping off some bonus content over the last couple of months. One of which was the highly desired “SOUTH OF FRANCE” remix with Travis Scott. The collab was thought to be a lock for the tracklist, but Future decided to go against features for the initial release. He’s also been dropping off some visuals for the tape, with the number now up to five. That fifth video from Future is for “BRAZZIER,” one of the “deeper” cuts. It’s nothing too special visually speaking as he’s seen flexing with his homeboys during the nighttime. Check it out below.

Future and Travis Scott Unveil Official Remix of “SOUTH OF FRANCE”

Diamond-certified hip-hop icons Future and Travis Scott have officially released the much-anticipated remix of “SOUTH OF FRANCE,” a standout track from Future’s latest album, MIXTAPE PLUTO. This collaboration reunites the long-time friends and musical powerhouses, showcasing their dynamic synergy and significant impact on hip-hop culture.

The buzz around the remix has been growing since Scott teased the track on social media prior to the release of MIXTAPE PLUTO earlier this fall. The original version of “SOUTH OF FRANCE” appeared on Future’s 11th number-one album on the Billboard 200 chart, solidifying his place in music history. Notably, Future achieved a rare milestone by releasing three number-one albums within six months—WE DON’T TRUST YOU and WE STILL DON’T TRUST YOU were his previous releases, marking a historic moment as he becomes the first solo artist to achieve this feat, following The Beatles’ accomplishment in the 1960s.

All 17 tracks on MIXTAPE PLUTO debuted on the Billboard Hot 100, further establishing Future as the first hip-hop artist to accomplish such a feat without any featured artists. The collaboration with Scott promises to elevate the already impactful track to new heights.

Future Officially Shares His Anticipated Travis Scott Collaboration, ‘South Of France (Remix)’

When Future released his new album, Mixtape Pluto, fans were disappointed to learn that Travis Scott was not on “South Of France,” as was rumored ahead of the album’s release. Snippets of the album were floating around on social media before the project dropped, and though fans of the two rappers’ prior collaborations like “3500,” “Solitaires,” “Cinderella,” and “High Fashion” held out hope, Travis was not one of the voices that appeared on Mixtape Pluto — at least, not until now.

“South Of France (Remix)” is out now, and it should live up to all those fans’ expectations. The two rappers trade bars in a back-and-forth sequence during Travis’ verse, which features glitchy effects and references to Cannes Film Festival — which takes place, of course, in the titular region along the Mediterranean Sea. “South of France, a movie out in Cannes,” he hums. “Thinkin’ ’bout nights in the Mo’, I need some more again.”

While Future is coming off an epic 2024 run that saw him release three full-length projects (and accidentally kickstart the culture-spanning beef that dominated headlines for the first half of the year), Travis Scott was honored at the BET Awards, and announced he’s “back in album mode” after Utopia topped charts last year. Meanwhile, with Travis’ appearance officially getting a release, perhaps that means the scrapped Gunna verse will also see its day in the sun — especially since it seems Young Thug is still cool with his musical charge.

You can listen to Future and Travis Scott’s “South Of France (Remix)” above.

Future And Travis Scott Drop A Heater With “South Of France (Remix)”

Future made a bold choice with Mixtape Pluto. He teased collabs with the likes of Gunna and Travis Scott. When the album dropped, though, the features were nowhere to be found. The songs remained, but Pluto decided to handle the verses himself. Fans were understandably disappointed. Some even posited that a deluxe version was on the way. Well, it’s been a month and some change, and still no deluxe. The silver lining is that Future has decided to bless fans with one of these unreleased collabs. “South of France (Remix)” is finally here. And Travis Scott has treated fans to a guest verse.

The beat absolutely knocks. “South of France (Remix)” lives up to its title, in the sense that it evokes the international feel through its airy instrumentation. It sounds expensive, and Future absolutely stakes atop the beat with eloquent flexes. “Posted on Front Street, start servin’ dimes. On the way to buy a square, re-rock, a nine,” Future raps. “I was in lil’ Mexico, once upon a time. I started off in these streets, young n**gas dyin.’” Travis Scott perfectly matches Future’s energy, while applying his trademark psychedelic embellishments. Scott’s absence from the original is still a mystery. Either way, it’s an improvement.

Young Thug Attempts To End The Feud Between His ‘Brothers’ Drake, Future, And Metro Boomin From Behind Bars

From a fiery “tweeters and deleters” call out from Drake to Metro Boomin’s chart-topping response, the pair’s animosity curated an eventful summer for rap fans. Although hip-hop heads enjoyed seeing the back-and-forth spat between the two eventually others joined the feud (both willingly and unintentionally).

Now, Young Thug has inserted himself as the voice of reason. Yesterday (October 18), the “Dope Boy” rapper took to X (formerly Twitter) to call for an end to the rap war. Despite having his hands fuel with the YSL RICO trial, Young Thug penned a message for unity from behind bars.

“Drake, Future, and Metro Boomin we all bruddas,” he wrote. “Music ain’t the same without us collabin.”

Fans chimed in with mixed reactions. Many praised Young Thug for stepping in to mend their relationships.

“Goat squashing beefs behind bars the streets need him,” wrote one user.

“Thugger has spoken! Future and Drake can’t beef. They have too much chemistry and too many hits. The culture is better when they collab,” penned another.

On the other hand, many supporters believe that their feud has gone too far after Metro Boomin accused Drake of being a pedophile.

Still, Future seems to agree with Young Thug’s sentiments. Followers noticed that shortly after the message was uploaded, Future reposted Young Thug’s message. As of today, it doesn’t appear that Metro Boomin or Drake have responded to the Young Thug’s post.

Coco Jones Drops New Single “Most Beautiful Design” Featuring Future & London On Da Track

GRAMMY Award-winning singer, songwriter, and actress Coco Jones has officially released her highly anticipated new single, “Most Beautiful Design,” featuring chart-topping rapper Future and multi-platinum producer London On Da Track. The track, available now via High Standardz/Def Jam Recordings, showcases Jones’s ethereal vocals while exploring themes of love, imperfection, and resilience.

“Most Beautiful Design” will be featured on Jones’s upcoming album, along with previously released singles “Sweep it Up” and “Here We Go (Uh Oh).” The song delivers a unique blend of R&B and rap, with Future bringing a softer, more loving side to his verses, while London On Da Track provides a vibrant, upbeat production. Each artist’s signature style shines, creating an effortless and captivating collaboration.

On the release, Coco Jones expressed her excitement, stating, “I’ve always been a fan of rap and R&B duets, so being able to modernize that format alongside Future – a rapper with such longevity and years of success in the game, is so exciting to me. ‘Most Beautiful Design’ is the space London on Da Track discovered where both of our worlds collide, and we get to find common ground as rapper and singer, and as man and woman.”

Fans of both artists are eagerly awaiting the release of Coco Jones’s upcoming album, as “Most Beautiful Design” offers a fresh, modern take on classic R&B-rap collaborations.

Coco Jones And Future Make A Killer Pair On “Most Beautiful Design”

Coco Jones has a classic R&B sound. So many of her peers are experimenting with trap and indie, and melding different genres together. Jones, on the other hand, is content to make excellent R&B songs that sound ripped from two decades ago. She’s proved it on nearly all of her singles, and does it again on this new one. “Most Beautiful Design” is Coco Jones’ anticipated collab with Future and London on da Track, and it sounds as exquisite as its title suggests. Jones and Future have impressive vocal chemistry, and they glide over London’s smooth instrumental.

Future actually takes lead on the song, which is unexpected. The rapper keeps his 2024 hot streak going with a vocal melody that snaps into place over the beat. Future ditched the softer side of his persona for the recent MIXTAPE PLUTO, so it’s impressive to hear him dig back into this bag so effortlessly. London on da Track does his thing here, with an instrumental that is consistent and catchy. Nothing too bold, but a nice underpinning for the vocal fireworks. This is especially true when Coco Jones gets on. She proves herself Future’s equal, and despite having two very different deliveries, these two sound great together on record.
