EBK Jaaybo Releases New Project “The Reaper” From Behind Bars

by

This weekend we have a newcomer to the HNHH site. For the first time, we are going to be talking about Stockton, California rapper, EBK Jaaybo. Formally known as Jaymani Gorman, he is a very young artist, as he recently just turned 21 years of age. According to his Genius page, hip-hop runs in the family. His dad, James Gorman, who goes by Rrari, has been instilling music in him since he was a child. Furthermore, EBK Jaaybo has multiple siblings who are MCs, as well as some cousins. EBK Bckdoe, EBK Osama, EBK Tootie, and Gleeko Riccoo are in his immediate nucleus. Then, you have his relatives EBK Hari B, EBK Lil Mobbalay, and Verde Babii.

In terms of more facts about Jaaybo, he’s dealt with a lot of legal issues. In fact, he’s in midst of some as we speak. According to an interview with Passion Of The Weiss, he’s in jail for illegal firearm possession by a felon at the San Joaquin County facility. Jaaybo tells the publication that he’s going to be out in about four months and once he’s out again he’s going to drop a bunch more and go on tour.

Some of that creative energy that is bubbling up inside is now on his newest project. It’s called The Reaper, and Jaaybo describes it as “straight-up street s***”. We can certainly how that’s the case, with ultra agressive flows, bars, and instrumentals. Try out his new project with the links below.

Ashanti is now a mother, and she and Nelly couldn’t be happier about the birth of their child, Kareem Kenkaide Haynes. Moreover, she recently shared a lot of details with fans, including an update on her postpartum body. “Four weeks postpartum, you have no idea what this body can do,” she said in an Instagram post while showing off her belly. “Funny how life’s plans aren’t…always on time.. lol. I’ve been waiting to be a mom for a long time now but nothing could prepare me for EVERYTHING motherhood brings! This is what postpartum looks like I’m loving these super cozy @fridamom shorts! I’m so proud of my body for giving me my baby, baby, baby, baby, boy,” she captioned the post.

Furthermore, Ashanti also spoke with Entertainment Tonight with some more insights on her newfound motherhood. “His name is Kareem Kenkaide Haynes,” she relayed. “His dad named him with a lot of pride.” Also, the New York native explained why they paid tribute to her father by making his first name their child’s middle name. “My dad has only girls, so Nelly was just like, ‘I think that would be really, really dope.’ This was all his idea,” she remarked.

Ashanti Shows Off Postpartum Body

“He actually came a little early,” Ashanti said of Kareem’s birth on July 18. “[His] dad had to fly in last minute which was awesome. Just all of these emotions happening at one time, just knowing that this is your person, this is your purpose, this is what it’s supposed to be. And the three of us together, we were all able to hold each other. It was incredible to watch just how confident and gentle and how soothing he is with his son. It was just an amazing, incredible feeling.

“It’s just an immense feeling,” Ashanti continued. “When I look in his eyes, or when I pick him up and I kiss him, it’s an overwhelming feeling of love and admiration and giving. This little boy has my entire soul wrapped around his finger.” Many congratulations to the happy couple, and we wish them the best on their family journey.

Russ Doesn’t Want To Lose His Girl On “If This Is It”

by

Russ is keeping his pen sharp by returning with “If This Is It”. With how often he drops, it’s hard to find some new angle to talk about with this guy. However, what we can say is that he’s extremely dedicated to delivering time and time again for his fans. It’s proven through his weekly weekend releases like this one right here. This time around Russ is essentially detailing a tug-of-war type of relationship on “if This Is It”. “If this is it let me know / I don’t wanna see you go”, he begins on the chorus. “Do you want me, baby, yes or no? / What’s the plan? What’s the play? / ‘Cause I can’t walk away“. Then, in his verses, he continues the painful and panicked tone and storyline.

“Let me find out, she’s in Waikiki / Let me chill / She wouldn’t play me“. Later, Russ admits takes some responsibility for the situation they are now in. “You know I f***ing love you / I just don’t know what happening / I know we both struggle opening up“. This track is one of the reasons why he’s been able to succeed for such a long time. The number of tones he can go to is endless, and these relatable storytelling tracks is just one of the ones he has at his disposal. Give “If This Is It” by Russ a try with the YouTube link below.

Tokyo Toni Comically Shuts Down Antonio Brown’s Rapping In His Face: “Next!”

by

Antonio Brown was the most recent guest on the Aunt-Tea Podcast with Tokyo Toni, Karlissa Saffold, and Tia Kemp, and it was a pretty hilarious affair for multiple reasons. But one particularly viral clip was when he started to rap to them, and Tokyo wasn’t feeling it one bit. “Okay, that’s boring,” she told the recent father while sitting back down, as she had gotten up to twerk. “Shut the f**k up, next! Your s**t dry.” Then, he did a little dance for them, which was also quite amusing because they seemed a little underwhelmed by it. Regardless, the full episode drops this Sunday (August 25) via the Zeus Network, so you can see for yourself what else this quartet got up to.

But things aren’t always this juvenile and playful on the Aunt-Tea Podcast, whether they stage these things for more engagement or not. Tokyo Toni and Karlissa Saffold almost got into a fight during a recent episode of the show, seemingly while folks were on a break. Fortunately, security stepped in and the situation didn’t escalate at all, but guest Big Freeida seemed pretty uncomfortable as a result of the exchange. It’s exactly the kind of content that fans of the program might expect, though, so we guess it’s not worth a big deal unless it crosses a certain line.

Back to Antonio Brown, though, he is as volatile and unfiltered as ever on social media, recently trolling Brittney Griner after Trump spoke out against the inclusion of trans women in women’s sports. “Congrats to Brittany Griner on a great career,” he captioned a repost of the convicted former president’s quote. This disrespectful take from AB is sadly nothing new, as he made fun of the WNBA star in the past.

As for other Aunt-Tea Podcast shenanigans, Karlissa Saffold recently asked Tokyo Toni and Tia Kemp whether she’s as bad with airing out her son Blueface’s dirty laundry as Momma Dee is with her son Lil Scrappy. This was right before Dee joined them as their special guest, so you can imagine how that conversation went. We’ll see what other antics these folks get up to in the future.

Central Cee Is Equal Parts Cocky & Humble On New Two Pack “Bolide Noir”

by

One of the most important names in all of UK hip-hop right now is back. West Londoner Central Cee is here with a new two-pack for us, “Bolide Noir”. It features the title track, which features the Frenchman, JRK 19, and “Billion Streams Freestyle”. The Columbia Records signee has been enjoying a pretty fruitful 2024 thanks to some big singles and a handful of features. When it comes to the former, you have “BAND4BAND” with Lil Baby and now “gen z luv”, which is gaining steam as we speak. As for the latter, he was able to grab a guest spot on J. Cole’s surprise project Might Delete Later. Of course, you also can’t forget about his controversial Ice Spice collab “Did It First”. That led to lots of rumors, confusion and a breakup with influencer, Madeline Argy.

These two singles are the first offerings since that debacle, and they look to be more hits for Cench in the near future. “Bolide Noir” is the banger of the tandem, and this probably the song that’s going to cause a little debate online. In fact, it already has, as DJ Akademiks posed the question with a screenshot of the bars below. Some fans were giving Cee his flowers, while others were quick to dismiss his bold statements. Then, you have “Billion Streams Freestyle”, which sees him in a reflective state talking about how far he’s come and his biggest career accomplishments. “Said that my b**** was gay, got a billion streams, I’m a mainstream rapper“. Check out the Central Cee singles with the links below.

Quotable Lyrics From “Bolide Noir”:

When they put me on their song
They got to write their verse again
They got to go pick up their pens

Kendrick Lamar Has Drake Fans Feeling Bored After “Not Like Us” Breaks Another Record

by

Here we go again… Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” has broken yet another Spotify record once held by his rival Drake’s 2018 hit, “God’s Plan.” This time, it’s for the fastest rap song ever to surpass 700 million streams on the platform, and you probably already know the discourse around it. K.Dot fans are rejoicing in the victory, and OVO fans want Kendrick to thank the 6ix God for his success. Either way, both groups are arguing with each other over pointless numbers talk. Nothing will change the Compton lyricist’s victory, and it would take about 85 more tracks of this level of success to even begin to creep up on the Toronto superstar’s numbers on DSPs.

What’s more is that their post-beef movement is also further polarizing fans into making judgement calls about the Kendrick Lamar and Drake beef, confusing their preference for either artist as analysis on the isolated battle itself. The former popped out for a Juneteenth show and music video, keeping quiet throughout it all. The latter just dropped a new set of tracks which many believe he’s using to try to revive his various 2024 feuds. So folks are either labeling this as desperate or are fully content with just the existence of new music regardless of quality… Such is the state of public discourse in this year’s music culture.

Kendrick Lamar Breaks Another “God’s Plan” Spotify Record

Kendrick Lamar fans even pointed to him predicting some of Drake’s new angles on these IG drops, although that’s just a speculative theory up for interpretation. That’s just one example of how this beef became more about fans versus fans rather than rapper versus rapper ever since “The Heart Part 6” dropped. Another is how Drizzy’s every move has fallen victim to public scrutiny, irremovable from the context of the battle in many’s eyes. Much like Big vs. ‘Pac and Jay vs. Nas before them, we’re now at the exhausting point in which the least talked about parts of their rivalry are their actual lyrics against each other.

For hip-hop culture and music fans at large, this is a pretty disappointing level of animosity. At least many folks instead focused on both the gang unity that Kendrick Lamar promoted and on Drake’s commitment to giving fans what they love from him. But for every new record that “Not Like Us” breaks in the future – and trust us, it will – fans will once again display their blind support in full colors. Many lines from the battle have aged like fine wine, but “Hey, Drake, they’re not slow” is certainly on the opposite end of the spectrum for both extreme fanbases.

Joe Budden Rips Yung Miami To Shreds For Laughing At “Pump It Up” Plaque

by

Earlier this week, Joe Budden received a gold plaque from the RIAA for his 2003 single, “Pump It Up.” While the feat is certainly one to celebrate, despite arriving 21 years after the track’s release, Yung Miami didn’t think so. She took to X to issue a shady response to the news, making it clear that she was not impressed.

Yung Miami reacted with a simple series of laughing emojis. Instead of engaging right away, Budden decided to bow out altogether. “It would be too easy,” he wrote. “Maybe tmw lol.” She then called him a bully, slamming him for laughing at other people’s accomplishments and suggesting she was giving him a taste of his own medicine.

Joe Budden Claims Yung Miami Would Be “Dead Last” On List Of Best Female Rappers

Now, however, he’s responded directly to the shade during an episode of his podcast. In a clip from the episode, he clarified that he doesn’t plan to disrespect Yung Miami or call her out her name, instead choosing to keep things professional. He went on to rip her career to shreds, claiming that on a list of the best female rappers, she would be “dead last.” Budden added that he didn’t expect Yung Miami to go after him like this, particularly considering issues with her label she admitted to on Caresha Please.

In the explosive season 2 premiere of her podcast, she revealed that her label told her they haven’t been seeing enough growth from her as an artist, which explains why she hasn’t put more music out. What do you think of Yung Miami clowning Joe Budden because his 2003 single just went gold? What about him dissing her in response? Who do you think is in the right? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.
