Rich Amiri & Internet Money Collab For Addicting New Single “KEEP IT COOL”

August 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Rich Amiri’s successful 2023 landed him a spot on this year’s XXL Freshman list. He put out two projects in Evolution and the immensely popular, Ghetto Fabulous. The latter contains some of his catchiest songs to date such as “OUTTA THERE”, “AINT NOTHING”, and of course, “ONE CALL”. For someone who is more known to be in the underground trap scene, pulling in over 336 million streams on one song is quite the feat. But this where the Boston, Massachusetts MC thrives. His uniquely deep voice and sticky flow patterns could boost him into the mainstream if he continues on this trajectory. It seems he’s staying on that path as “MADONNA & RIHANNA” is shaping up to be another fan favorite, with over 8.6 million streams already since its release in April.

With all of this momentum, Rich Amiri coming through on this “KEEP IT COOL” record is another W. On this single, he perfectly matches the tempo of the video game/gothic instrumental. It may sound like a weird mashup of ideas, but it the rage-like beat absolutely slaps. “KEEP IT COOL” does have Rich Amiri attached to it, but this is actually an Internet Money release. The California-based fleet of producers is supposedly working on a new album via the founder, Taz Taylor. That shuts the previous belief that this track was going to be for WAR READY, Amiri’s forthcoming project.

“KEEP IT COOL” – Internet Money & Rich Amiri

Quotable Lyrics:

Yeah, better keep it cool ’cause this s*** could get ugly
‘Member I was dead broke, now I got some money
Feds on my trail, I ain’t goin’, flee the country
Never tuck my tail, I want war, boy, I love beef
Knew you was a ho
You want smoke about a ho, huh?

Rich Amiri Teases “WAR READY” With “MADONNA & RIHANNA”

April 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Outside of some relationship gossip, Rich Amiri has not been given his proper shine here at HNHH. Today, we are going to change that, as the youngster from Boston, Massachusetts has a new single that’s creating some buzz. The Internet Money and 10K Projects rapper loves to operate in the trap scene with elements of rage as well. That is exactly the vibe Rich Amiri is bringing to “MADONNA & RIHANNA.”

This looks to be the first single for his forthcoming record WAR READY, which he is promoting on social media. There seems to not be a release date for this project, but we assume it is expected to drop in 2024. For Rich, it will be LP number four, and will follow-up two offerings in 2023, Evolution and Ghetto Fabolous. That latter of which featured bangers like the irresistible “ONE CALL.”

Listen To “MADONNA & RIHANNA” By Rich Amiri

An area where we think he really shines is writing catchy hooks. “ONE CALL” had that going for it and so does “MADONNA & RIHANNA.” The beat choice is hard-hitting even if it is a little basic. Furthermore, Rich Amiri’s cadence is a selling point. His deep voice is pretty unique and it matches the atmospheric tone to this song, but also the rest of his music.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single, “MADONNA & RIHANNA,” by Rich Amiri? Is this the best track he has dropped as of late, why or why not? What is your favorite element of the track and why? Does this get you excited for what WAR READY could be?

Quotable Lyrics:

Right when I hop off a jet, I’ma take a Patek, I’ma flood it with diamonds (With diamonds)
Wrist water, stones blindin’, can’t even tell what the time is (What the time is)
Bad lil’ white h* look like Madonna, black h* look like Rihanna (Oh yeah)
Shippin’ them birds over the sea, then I go jump in a charter (Okay)
Please don’t think you f***in’ on me without f***in’ my gang too (Gang too)
Go ‘head, come up out yo’ funds, we takin’ yo’ chain too, huh (Chain too)

Internet Money Rapper Rot Ken Sentenced To 20 Years in Prison For Armed Burglary Case

October 12, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Internet Money rapper Rot Ken, also known by his legal name Kenneth Maurice Williams, has been handed a severe prison sentence. According to documents revealed by HipHopDX, it has been confirmed that he’s been sentenced to 20 years. This is a significant portion of his life, considering the young rapper is just 20 years old himself. Rot Ken’s charges are related to a burglary incident in Richmond County on June 3, 2021. The sentence given out by the court is a harsh one. It consists of 15 years for burglary in the first degree and an additional five years for the possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime. In total, this amounts to the daunting 20-year prison term.

Rot Ken’s incarceration officially started on October 2. This day marked the abrupt end of his freedom and the start of what is likely to be a challenging period of confinement. However, the artist now faces a long road ahead. The possibility of release only coming into view in July 2032, at the earliest. The news of his sentencing has sent shockwaves through social media and his fan base. Moreover, this leaves many to wonder about the fate of his career and the impact this legal battle will have on his reputation. For someone who once enjoyed the limelight, these legal troubles have unquestionably altered the course of his life.

For context, Rot Ken had been arrested in June, in connection of the murder of a 24-year-old man in Augusta, Georgia. The Augusta Press reported that the incident which occurred in broad daylight. Reportedly, Rot Ken and an accomplice allegedly ambushed two men in April. Tragically, one man, Usaini Yunusa, lost his life in the brutal attack. The driver, Kobe Burns, managed to escape, but in his shocked state, he crashed into nearby trees, leading to DUI charges. Rot Ken’s IG page has been flooded with comments of support. “20 years in prison, fam why,” one fan wrote. “Free twin,” another said.

Meanwhile, in regards to trials, YNW Melly and his defense team have been busy preparing for a retrial regarding his double murder case. The first one ended in a hung jury, and Melly’s co-defended YNW Bortlen was arrested on witness tampering charges. However, the “Murder On My Mind” rapper awaits the retrial to officially start as the Judge takes a look at some of the defenses’ requests. It seems as though 2023 has been a big year for hip-hop and crime. Hopefully it can come to an end.

The hip-hop community is mourning PnB Rock, who was fatally shot today while dining at a Roscoe’s Chicken And Waffles diner in Inglewood. In the hours since his death was reported, several artists have taken to social media to express their condolences and share fond memories of the rapper.

On Twitter, Chika recalled a time when PnB helped Chika feel comfortable during a photoshoot.

“PnB Rock was one of the first people i met out here [In LA],” Chika said. “i remember being tucked away at a shoot feeling out of place & he went to the director and told them to make sure to prioritize me the same way. he was gentle and kind with me, a newcomer and stranger. rest in peace, man.”

His longtime friend and frequent collaborator Tee Grizzley shared a photo of the two together, along with a group of friends, from Grizzley’s engagement party, which had just taken place the night before.

“Love you broski,” Grizzley said, “you was a real friend I’ll never forget you.”

Internet Money expressed shock, largely because he had just collaborated with PnB weeks prior.

“just was with bro a few weeks ago,” said Internet Money. “we was in first class then linked up in the studio afterwords and worked. shit crazy Man U never kno when somebody gonna go. PNB always one of the nicest and most genuine people to be around. RIP bro fr.”

Some fans have taken to Twitter to blame PnB’s girlfriend for sharing hers and PnB’s location on Instagram, however, Cardi B took to Twitter to shut those comments down and call for people to send condolences.

“I highly doubt [people] was looking at [PnB]’s babymom IG. He was in a bad location and people stay outside plotting. It’s very irresponsible and inconsiderate to blame her for something so tragic. We should be sending nothing but love to her and his family at this time.”

I highly doubt nikkas was looking at PMB’s babymom IG. He was in a bad location and people stay outside plotting. It’s very irresponsible and inconsiderate to blame her for something so tragic. We should be sending nothing but love to her and his family at this time.
