Sampha Somehow Makes “Lahai” Even Better With Four New Deluxe Cuts

October 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Sampha doesn’t emerge from his cave very often, but when he does, it’s such a pleasure to witness him out in the wild. Even with his limited catalog, the London multi-hyphenate possesses one of the strongest amongst the rest of the talents in his playing field. Late last year, the feature powerhouse put out his sophomore album Lahai, which focuses a lot on family and big picture questions. He told NME, “I was just wondering about life and big questions, feeling the need to hold onto something or portray a bird’s eye view of my life because I felt like every day was going into every day”. The project certainly sounds as expansive as it’s themes, with sweeping and transformative instrumentals that evoke a sense of wonder and imagination.

We are almost exactly one year removed from it coming out and to help celebrate, Sampha has come through with the deluxe version of Lahai. There are four “new” songs to be had including the previously released “Satellite Business 2.0” featuring fellow UK artist and femcee, Little Simz. If there is a better fully fleshed out version of an interlude, we would like to hear it because this may be the best of its kind. Others include a more “aggressive” version of “Dancing Circles” with a “(2.0)” version, as well as “Re-Entry” and “Sensory Nectar”. Sampha says all of these tracks were either teased at shows and are evolutions of those live performances or are from the vault. Hint: These cuts make it even better.

Tim Walz Stumps JD Vance with Trump Election Loss Question During Debate

October 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

In a critical moment during Tuesday night’s debate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz caught Ohio Senator JD Vance off guard with a straightforward question: “Did Donald Trump lose the 2020 election?”

Vance, visibly uncomfortable, dodged the question and failed to give a clear answer. His attempt to pivot away from the subject has already been labeled the “moment of the night” by reporters, analysts, and pundits. The hesitation was noticeable and left Vance struggling to recover.

Watch the moment below:

Campaign data shows that undecided voters from battleground states marked this exchange as Vance’s worst moment of the debate, potentially damaging his credibility. As election misinformation continues to be a contentious issue, his inability to provide a direct response may sway voters who are seeking clarity on where candidates stand regarding the 2020 election results.

The fallout from this exchange will likely be a talking point in the coming days as the debate continues to resonate with the public.

Skilla Baby & 4batz Shower Their Girls With Praise On “So Bad”

October 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Both Skilla Baby and 4batz have been making their marks in 2024. The Detroit and Dallas products are XXL Freshman, and they also dropped some of their biggest projects. For Baby, that would be The Coldest which boasts features from Moneybagg Yo, G Herbo, Rob49, Flo Milli, Jeremih, and more. It’s deluxe is even more stacked with BossMan Dlow and extra features from DaBaby and Rob. For the baby-voiced 4batz, he delivered his debut project with backing from Drake’s OVO, u made me a st4r. Outside of sharing major success, they don’t have a lot in common.

It’s why this first collaboration between Skilla Baby and 4batz, “So Bad”, is such a head scratcher. The former typically selects very aggressive trap beats, whereas the latter is better suited on woozy and slower tempo instrumentals. But in that same breath, both love to rap about women, so there is that. That’s exactly what “So Bad” is about as Skilla and 4batz gas up their partners. The former does a sound a little out of place over the booming horn-backed background, as he raps in a scratchy and fairly quiet tone. But, we still want y’all to check it out and see what you have to say, so visit the link below to listen.

“So Bad” – Skilla Baby & 4batz

Quotable Lyrics:

I seen you on your story, you can be my shawty (My shawty)
Hm, we f***, baby, can I just record it? (Can I just record it?)
You so bad, baby, I cannot ignore it
And when you touch me, this d**k get enormous (Enormous)
Yeah, cross out the X and Os, I know she bad, she from the 4
Tell me something I don’t know

50 Cent Clowns Tony Yayo For Publicly Discussing Diddy Feud

October 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It’s no secret that 50 Cent isn’t a fan of Diddy, but according to him, that doesn’t mean he wants other people publicly discussing their beef. Earlier this week, the G-Unit mogul took to Instagram to share a video montage of Tony Yayo talking about his longstanding feud with Diddy. In the clips, he makes it clear that Fif never got along with Diddy, meaning that he and his associates had “always been hated” in the industry.

“I never been to a P Diddy party or JAY-Z brunch,” he explained in one clip. “I know it’s cool to be down with Diddy and JAY-Z. We was down with 50, [he] had beef with everybody.” 50 Cent took the opportunity to jokingly remind himself not to share his business with Yayo if he didn’t want it shared with the world.

“Note to self don’t tell Yayo nothing you don’t want everybody to know,” he captioned his post. Luckily, it doesn’t look like he’s too upset about Yayo talking about him, though the same can’t be said for everyone. Last month, for example, Yayo sat down with VladTV for an interview and was asked about 50 Cent getting shot. Instead of answering the question, Yayo shut DJ Vlad down and urged him to stop asking questions about 50 Cent. At the time, he also told Vlad that his collaborator doesn’t like him simply because he talks about him far too much.

“This is why 50 hates your a**,” he said. “Yeah, you talk about him too much.” What do you think of 50 Cent jokingly calling out Tony Yayo for talking about his relationship with Diddy? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Tory Lanez Shows Love To Trina For Launching His Career While Announcing Rerelease Of Old Mixtape

October 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Making a massive impact in music is certainly a tall task. If the artist is driven enough, they are going to do everything they possibly can to make their dreams a reality. Sometimes, up and coming artists have to fend for themselves and go lone wolf. For Tory Lanez, it was certainly trending that way for some time. About a decade ago, the Canadian rapper was having to sleep in his old girlfriend’s car and his manager’s couch due to his financial struggles. Unfortunately, Tory’s girl broke things off with him, so he was having to find a new temporary place to stay.

That’s when Trina came through for then young and bubbling talent, according to a recent inspirational IG post (via AllHipHop). For Tory, the story goes, “I remember showing her the song for ‘Godfather’. She looked at me and said, ‘That’s the song that’s going to get you a deal’. She put five bands up and helped me get the video shot. Coincidentally, the same director from that video, shot another video from the project for free. That video ended up being ‘Henny in Hand’. Two months later, Interscope watched both videos and couldn’t believe it was the same person on both songs. That led to me getting signed and the rest was history”.

Because of Trina’s unwavering support and generosity, Tory was able to build out his sound and brand. It’s part of the reason why the now star multi-talent is also revealing the rerelease of the mixtape in which those two songs land on. That project is Lost Cause and it’s coming on October 1, which is the day it turns 10. On top of that incredible news, Tory will also be continuing this reissuing run moving forward. “This will be the first of many classic mixtapes of mine that I will officially release on DSPs now that I am INDEPENDENT!!!”.

What are your thoughts on Tory Lanez divulging that Trina was helping him throughout the early stages of his career? Are you excited about the rerelease of his Lost Cause mixtape, why or why not? Have you ever heard this project? If so, what are your favorite tracks? 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 Tory Lanez and Trina. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the world of music.
