Leon Bridges Previews His Upcoming Album With The Smooth New Single ‘That’s What I Love’
Leon Bridges is now a week out from the release of his latest album, titled simply “Leon.” He’s got at least one more pre-album single in him, though, as he just dropped “That’s What I Love” today (September 27). It’s the kind of soulful, slow-burning tune Bridges does well, letting smooth intrumentals and his equally soothing voice do the heavy lifting.
Bridges previously said of the album:
“Leon has been a long-time coming. I started writing pieces of it as far back as Gold-Diggers Sound. They didn’t fit what I was trying to do with that album and I tried moving on. But I couldn’t shake them because they’re part of me. And, if I’m honest, also because I think this is some of my most excellent work yet.
In many ways, Leon has been in the works since my childhood. This record is about simpler days. It’s about time spent in my beloved Fort Worth and the experiences that made me the man I am today. It’s soulful music in the truest sense — it’s imbued with my soul.
I’m excited to share these stories about my home, about nostalgia, about my upbringing, about where I’m from, with all of you. I hope this music brings you back to your roots and your journey.”
Listen to “That’s What I Love” above.

Wu-Tang Clan Hints At New Album Potentially Dropping In 2025
The Wu-Tang Clan is set to bring their Las Vegas residency back this weekend with two shows at the Theater at Virgin Hotels. During a recent chat with TMZ, Cappadonna, Ghostface Killah, and Inspectah Deck revealed which song is their favorite to perform together. They all agreed on “Triumph,” though Ghostface Killah noted that they all serve their own purposes.
They were then asked about their plans for next year, prompting them to tease a potential new album. According to Ghostface Killah, they intend on dropping something together “soon.” He says that fans need to be patient, however, as they all have busy schedules they’ll need to work around in order to get it done.

Wu-Tang Clan Discusses What’s To Come
“It’s gonna be easy, ’cause this is what we do,” he explained. “The music, the soul, everything… Hip hop never left us.” These hints arrive after the drama surrounding the group’s one-of-one album, Once Upon A Time In Shaolin. It was previously sold to Martin Shkreli, who was its sole owner until 2021 when he was arrested for alleged security fraud. The U.S. government confiscated it, and eventually, digital art company PleasrDAO bought it. It was later released in fragments as NFTs, a decision controversial among both fans and group members.
During an interview with Vanity Fair in July, for example, Method Man opened up about some of the issues he had with the project. According to him, most of the Wu-Tang Clan was not let in on the rollout plans. “I thought it was some circus spectacle,” he told the outlet at the time. “I never really spoke to RZA about it. It’s an uncomfortable subject to most of the guys, so we don’t really discuss it too much.” What do you think of Wu-Tang teasing the idea of dropping an album in 2025? Are you looking forward to it? What about their Las Vegas residency? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Tommy Richman Unloads Debut Album “COYOTE” After Breakout Summer
Tommy Richman has been making music since 2019, but he broke out in 2024, thanks almost exclusively to his hit single “MILLION DOLLAR BABY.” The track, which was officially released in April but had floated around as a snippet for months before, found life as background music on many TikToks and Instagram Reels. Richman’s song went beyond viral, becoming inescapable during the summer months. “MILLION DOLLAR BABY” peaked at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100, though it didn’t climb to the top spot because of the success of Kendrick Lamar’s anthemic “Not Like Us” and Post Malone’s collaboration with Morgan Wallen, “I Had Some Help.” Regardless, it was a massive coming-out party for Tommy Richman, who signed to Brent Faiyaz’s record label in 2023.
Thanks to the success of “MILLION DOLLAR BABY,” Tommy Richman dropped his official debut album, COYOTE, with a lot of hype behind it. The R&B singer/occasional rapper has an old-school approach to his music, which has endeared him to younger and older fans alike. Old funk music clearly inspired him, coming out with a project that blends that sound with more modern instincts. The result is music that’s very easy to listen to, and it’s not hard to see why Richman went so viral this year. Notably, “MILLION DOLLAR BABY” and its follow-up “DEVIL IS A LIE” are absent from the tracklist, so it will be interesting to see how Richman’s album performs without his two biggest tracks to date being added. Stream the debut offering from one of 2024’s breakout stars below.
