Unfortunately, due to ongoing legal woes, Polo G hasn’t been able to fulfill a promise him made to fans back in August 2023. Well, that’s until now. After several unforeseen delays, the “Sorrys & Ferraris” rapper’s long-awaited album, Hood Poet, finally has an official release date.

Today (July 30), Polo G took to X (formerly Twitter) to reveal the exciting news. “Hood Poet, August 9th,” he wrote. “The wait finally Over 🖤🖤.”

That information alone would have been sufficient. But after nearly a year of setbacks, Polo treated his followers to a bit more. “Plus, me and Smurk this Friday #weuhshoot,” he wrote.

A fresh collaboration between Lil Durk and Polo G set users online off.

“Finally getting my therapy collab, Polo G X Lil Durk yaayyyy🕺,” wrote one user.

The forthcoming single will mark the project’s forth singles, following “Barely Holdin’ On,” “Distraction,” and “Angels In The Sky.”

According to the promotional graphic, Polo G shared alongside the newly unveiled artwork, Hood Poet will feature guest appearances by GloRilla, Future, Offset, G Herbo, 42 Dugg, Hunxho, The Kid LaRoi, and Fridayy.

According to the tracklist uploaded to Apple Music, Hood Poet has a total of 18 tracks. With a release date formerly locked in, fans have one question—is a tour in the works?

Hood Poet is out on 8/9 via Columbia. Find more information here.

Adin Ross Teases A New Future Snippet Amid “Mixtape Pluto” Hype

by

Future, Atlanta rap icon, is still commanding a lot of listeners attention in the 2020’s decade. To some that probably isn’t a surprise, but just staying relevant in music is a tremendous feat, especially for how long he’s been in the game. On top of being in the mainstream still, he is almost always at the top of the charts, which just further solidifies his status. It’s why both of his collaborative efforts with his close producing pal Metro Boomin, WE DON’T TRUST YOU and WE STILL DON’T TRUST YOU, are two of the biggest records of the year. That’s the other thing that is impressive about Pluto. No matter how often he drops, fans are constantly wanting more from him.

That is currently true at this moment in time as well, as ever since the release of WSDTY, he has been teasing the crap out his return to the mixtape format. There was a point in May where Future had a lot of people thinking that project would be coming. Instead, it turned out to be a guest placement on a Tee Grizzley single, “Swear to God”. That seemingly started a mini feature run and not much has been said about this return to Future’s mixtape era.

However, things are seemingly ramping back up, as a new song snippet was just previewed. With streaming becoming such a major market right now due to names like Kai Cenat, Jynxzi, and Sketch, for example, rappers especially are using it as a tool to spread the word on their upcoming material. That is exactly what Future decided to do, using Adin Ross’ platform to tease a potential track from Mixtape Pluto. There aren’t a lot of lyrics in the snippet, but the instrumental sounds extremely ominous and intoxicating. Ross seemed to like what he heard, and possible credit could go to Southside for the beat. He has been quoted talking about assisting Future, which is great considering their track record together.

What are your thoughts on this new Future snippet? Do you think this a track that will land on this upcoming mixtape? Is he the current king of trap rap, why or why not? Is he your 2024 Rap MVP? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Future. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

Mustard Drops His Best Album Yet With “Faith Of A Mustard Seed”

by

Mustard’s hit-making ability cannot be questioned. He was one of the producers who defined the sound of the 2010s. He has too many classic singles to count. That being said, Mustard’s propensity for singles extended to his albums. He had solid solo outings, but nothing that lived up to his one-off collabs. Until now. Faith of a Mustard Seed, Mustard’s fourth album, is his best yet. The Los Angeles producer finally put together all the pieces and delivered a project that’s catchy as it is cohesive and consistent. There are legitimately too many standout moments to catch in one sitting.

Kirk Franklin provides a spoken word intro, and once the album gets going, it doesn’t slow down. “Up Down” chops up an 80s synth line into a superhero theme for the likes of Lil Yachty and 42 Dugg. The next track, “Pressured Up,” goes full G-funk with menacing verses from Vince Staples and ScHoolboy Q. Quavo and Rob49 help Mustard switch things up yet again with the string-heavy street anthem “One of Them Ones.” The Travis Scott-aided single “Parking Lot” is still one of the best songs here, but it’s a testament to Mustard’s sequencing that the sample-driven banger fits in with the rest of the material here. The album’s slower moments also stick the landing. Ty Dolla Sign sounds perfect on “A Song for Mama,” while Blxst skates over “Worth a Heartbreak.” There’s not a weak link in the tracklist, and that includes Mustard’s own bars on the epic closer, “Pray for Me.” Mustard is not only still here, but he may be entering his prime.

Future Drops “Rotation” Music Video To Celebrate Nine Years Of “DS2”

by

Future is one of the defining rappers of his generation. He may not have the pedigree of the Big Three, but his consistency is something to be marveled at. He took Lil Wayne’s work ethic and coated it with his own codeine-laced style. Fans continue to debate which Future tape is best, but there’s no denying that Dirty Sprite 2 is his most iconic. It’s the album in which he put everything together. It rebranded him in a way that he’s still benefiting from today. Future knows how beloved DS2 is, and he gave fans a surprise release for the album’s tenth anniversary.

Future released a music video for the album cut “Rotation” on July 18. The rapper doesn’t really mince words when it comes to his rollouts, so he kept brief in the caption. “Unreleased, 9years later,” he wrote on Instagram. “DS2 PLUTO back.” It’s not clear if Future meant that DS2 Pluto was back for the sake of the anniversary, or if the aesthetic and vibe of DS2 Pluto would be returning for his next album. Either way, we’re happy to see him again. The music video for “Rotation” is predictably grimy, with the rapper walking around a gas station with a double cup. It looks like it was shot in a single night, which was part of the appeal of DS2‘s DIY approach.

DS2‘s reputation is bulletproof these days, even among non-Future fans. That being said, Southside was nervous about the album’s direction when it was being made. “We were nervous,” the producer admitted to Complex in 2020. “It was a new sound and a new swag… [the fans] were accepting everything and we didn’t want to miss. We had to make sure it was right.” Southside produced six tracks on the OG version of DS2, and four more on the deluxe. Fittingly, Southside’s favorite memory from the DS2 sessions was making “Rotation.”

Southside claimed that he and Metro Boomin made the beat right in front of Future’s eyes. To make the whole thing more impressive, Future laid down his verse in even less time than it took to make the music. “He really rapped everything that was going on in the room,” the producer recalled. “He really bought all the sodas at the gas station. [Future] rapped everything that was going on. It was just funny. I’m like, ‘This man’s crazy.’” Crazy or not, the process worked, and now we have a music video for it.

Metro Boomin To Host Special “Metro Boomin And Friends” Hometown Show

by

Metro Boomin is the biggest hip-hop producer right now. As far as beat makers in their prime go, it’s Metro and then it’s everybody else. He soundtracked a superhero movie and spearheaded the best rap battle of the 21st century with “Like That.” He also blessed the world with “BBL Drizzy.” Metro is a bona fide star, so now seems like the perfect time for him to celebrate back in his hometown. The producer announced that he will be putting a special one-night only show in St. Louis on July 29.

The show, titled “Metro Boomin and Friends,” was announced through Live Nation. A guest list hasn’t yet been announced. That said, the “and Friends” part of the bill leads us to believe stars will be attending. Metro Boomin was able to secure features from some of the biggest names in rap on his last two albums. It’s safe to assume his partner on those albums, Future, will be in attendance. Both artists will embark on their “We Trust You Tour” the day after, so it would line up perfectly.

Metro Boomin has always maintained his love for St. Louis. The producer was given the key to the city by Mayor Tishaura Jones in 2023. The city also declared December 14 Leland “Metro Boomin” Wayne Day, further establishing his legacy. Metro talked to Rolling Stone about the dual honor, and he admitted that it felt surreal. “From a kid to now, I’ve just had so much pride in being born and raised in St. Louis,” he said. “I can’t even really say it’s a dream come true… I don’t even think I’ve ever dreamt of this.”

Metro Boomin has made a point of giving back to St. Louis since his career has taken off. He has formed partnerships with various local organizations. Particularly those that provide support for single mothers. In addition to his own personal experiences, Metro associates the city with his late mother, Leslie Joanne Wayne. He’s spoken at length about the impact she had on him, and how important it is to him to uphold her positive influence. “St. Louis is such a special place,” he noted to the outlet. “I feel like no one would really understand unless you’ve lived there. It’s a very historic city, a hardworking city.” Tickets for “Metro Boomin and Friends” will be made available for purchase on Monday, July 22.

Future Fuels Fan Excitement Over His Upcoming Mixtape Once Again

by

Southside’s most recent interview with XXL contained a very exciting update for Future fans, as he indicated that he’s hard at work on his next mixtape. Moreover, it seems like this project might literally be called Mixtape Pluto, and that it will see the Atlanta trap pioneer return to his more raw stylings across his legendary catalog. Of course, this is far from the first time that we’ve heard about this new record, and despite the incessant teasing, fans are still just as excited for it. It also comes after two collaborative albums this year with Metro Boomin that had its own extra mixtape attached, so this hot streak could be even more fiery in 2024.

Sadly, it seems like Future and Metro Boomin won’t quite celebrate this trek in the same fashion as they had originally planned. You probably heard that the duo canceled a couple of upcoming tour dates, which some fans online speculatively assumed was due to low ticket sales. The actual reasoning behind canceling these shows is still unclear, but no further evidence emerged suggesting that low ticket sales had anything to do with it. Either way, another mixtape would probably entice or distract fans when it comes to copping tickets, depending on how good it is.

Future Is Still In Mixtape Mode, Southside Reveals

What’s more is that Future kept his foot on the gas after his Metro Boomin collabs, including the recent Strick collab “RECIPE FOR LOVE.” As such, we can assume that he’s working on his new mixtape with the same prolific work ethic. Considering the storm that these collab records caused within the rap game, we wonder whether this new project will inspire a similar earthquake. But if it’s just straight-up bangers, we won’t complain if it’s a more straightforward release.

Meanwhile, fans might remember that Future slightly jumped the gun with this mixtape. An offhand tweet referencing one of his bars on his Tee Grizzley collab “Swear To God” had fans thinking that he would release it earlier this year. But that didn’t pan out, and now we’re back to a patiently excited square one. Hopefully we get news on this project sooner rather than later.

Future’s “Thought It Was A Drought” Remains A Top-Tier Metro Boomin Collab 9 Years Later

by

“Dirty soda, Spike Lee / White girl, Ice T / Fully loaded AP, yeah“. These lyrics are synonymous with Future’s “I Thought It Was a Drought”. Woozy and intoxicating, the intro to his third album is one of the most iconic trap rap songs, period. The same can be said for the 13-song set. It perfectly kicks off the druggy and lean-filled trip that Future is about to send you on. This LP was released right around the time that he broke through into superstardom and it further solidified his chemistry with Metro Boomin. The latter was also considered a bubbling talent waiting to explode and when this track and project released, it was game over from there.

Post DS2, the Southern hip-hop/trap tandem is still producing top-notch material in these subgenres. That is even with all of the newcomers who have tried to recapture their magic in some shape or form. In fact, they are still in the upper echelon this year after giving fans a two-fer with WE DON’T TRUST YOU and WE STILL DON’T TRUST TOU. Speaking of which, those projects have some incredible Future and Metro works. But for us, “Thought It Was a Drought” manages to stand stall amongst the trees. The thick kicks, blistering hi-hats, and ghoulish tones looming the back are instantly recognizable. Future’s cool demeanor while rapping about drugs, sex, and the traditional trap fare instantly transport you to his world.
