Bianca Censori & Kanye West “Shunning” Her Family, They Reportedly Feel “Ignored”

by

Since Kanye West introduced his new wife, Bianca Censori, to the world nearly a year ago, we’ve hardly heard the Australian speak directly with the press. Instead, most of the updates we’ve received on the couple have come from European locals complaining about their wild outfits, or from insider sources alleging that toxic behaviour in the pair’s relationship has caused Censori to become distant from her friends. According to reports, the architect is under the impression that those looking out for her are “jealous of her fame,” and expressing their concern has only put up more barriers.

Even family members are speaking out with their worries about Bianca, including distant cousins she’s apparently never met. One of them, Fabiola Censori, told Daily Mail that she felt “ignored” to see Kanye and his wife touring around Italy without stopping to see them. “I’ve never met Bianca but I would love to,” she gushed to the outlet. “It was a shame she didn’t come and visit us when she was here in Italy on holiday.”

Bianca Censori’s Family Wants to Spend Time with Her and Ye

“Her dad came here years ago. We had a beautiful evening together with all the family and it was wonderful to see him,” Fabiola said of Bianca’s father, whose shady criminal history was exposed in the summer. “As for Bianca and Kanye, no comment. We feel a bit ignored,” she admitted.

While Bianca Censori feels the heat from her obviously disappointed family members, elsewhere, Kanye West is facing criticism for his ever-changing musical direction. The father of four has notably switched up his creative approach in recent years, leading Charlamagne Tha God to suggest that Ye’s sonic fanbase is “dwindling.” Read everything the media personality had to say at the link below and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Boldy James & Cuns Unleash Collaborative Album, “Be That As It May”

by

Griselda’s Detroit representative has established himself as one of the greatest lyricists working today with four excellent albums this year. Boldy James has just dropped his fourth collab of the year, Be That As It May with Cuns. Moreover, the Italian producer takes a lush and boom-bap-heavy approach to matching Boldy’s lyricism. In fact, the previous single “Foot Prints,” with its grand samples and hard-hitting percussion, was a great sonic indicator of the greatness to come.

Still, this album does have its surprises. Cuns’ production is a bit more crisp, orchestral, and rooted in ’90s era hip-hop when it comes to sample choices and sequencing. While albums like Mr. Ten08 took things in an electronic or contemporary direction on occasion, the production here is rooted in soulful styles. If anything, it goes to show the 40-year-old MC’s consistent versatility, appeal, and quality.

Moreover, Bo’s been on a hot streak. Over the past twelve months, he released Super Tecmo Bo with The Alchemist, Killing Nothing with Real Bad Man, Fair Exchange No Robbery with Nicholas Craven, and Mr. Ten08 with Futurewave. In fact, he dropped Be That As It May almost exactly a year after his 2021 Alchemist collab. What’s more is that they’re all excellent.

Across this album in particular, Boldy is both a fantastic narrator for life experiences and a consistently confident spitter. His descriptions are intricate, his wordplay is creative yet grounded, and his delivery is so engaging that you won’t notice a flow switch-up. In other words, it’s smooth as butter, and the grueling themes in “Earned Not Given” and “God Speed” come through vividly. It’s all made for some of the best albums of the year.

What did you think of this album and the Detroit MC’s run this year? Do you have a favorite? Are you looking forward to that J Dilla-produced project? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments.

Boldy James & Cuns Mark Their “Foot Prints”

by

As one of the premier lyricists working today, this Detroit MC’s prolific output makes his Wednesday drops just as fresh as all the new Friday releases. Boldy James released a new single this week with Italian producer Cuns titled “Foot Prints.” The smooth boom-bap track is the lead single off their upcoming collaborative album, Be That As It May. Moreover, the album drops on December 14th. Moreover, it follows the rapper’s last 2022 project, Mr. Ten08 with producer Futurewave.

What’s more is that this project will mark Boldy’s fifth collaborative effort in a year. Super Tecmo Bo with The Alchemist released last December, and is still in heavy rotation for many. Also, he dropped three albums that are considered some of the best hip-hop of the year. There was Killing Nothing with Real Bad Man, Fair Exchange No Robbery with Nicholas Craven, and the aforementioned Mr. Ten08. With so much heat in such a short amount of time, Boldy has established himself as one of the top dogs of the moment. It’s rare to hear a bad verse from him, and his status is respected from the underground to the legends.

Such consistency is evident on this track as well, with classic flows, clever wordplay, and vivid narrations and proclamations. Sure, he told a street narrative not unlike those penned on his critically acclaimed The Price of Tea in China. However, Boldy is able to make those tales feel fresh and immediate with every new track. He dominates through sharp lines like “Bust down could barely brace it on the wrist that I cooked with” and “Broke dance the whole satchel got some blow to hit harder than shrapnel.”

On the production end, Cuns displays a creative command of sampling, balancing his vocal chops with another guitar track and a chunky drum loop. All these elements come in and out of the track, they all have moments to shine, and the beat feels balanced as a result. Be That As It May is sure to be a varied project, production-wise. The Detroit MC spit comfortably on this track, even if it’s a tad more straightforward than the minimal or even electronic-inspired production he’s also ridden. For some great examples of Boldy’s diverse production, check out “Disco Fever” and “Hot Water Tank.” He’s even working on a J Dilla–produced project.

What did you think of this new Boldy James and Cuns track, “Foot Prints”? Let us know in the comments below and whether you’re looking forward to Be That As It May on December 14th. If you haven’t checked it out yet, you can find “Foot Prints” on your preferred streaming service. Peep some standout lines from the single below, and stay tuned to HNHH for, well, hot new hip-hop.

Quotable Lyrics

Ain’t a n***a in my city that don’t know me for trapping
Ask that n***a, “Did he have a Benz before he was rapping?”
I remember pushin’ yams, selling dope in the Saturn
Before I ever took an advance the Rollie was platinum
