Drake is keeping the fans fed. The OVO Sound Twitter account tagged their head honcho and added the website 100gigs.org. That 100 gigs is likely the file size in the website, which includes three new songs: “It’s Up” feat. 21 Savage, “Blue Green Red,” and “Housekeeping Knows,” feat. Latto.

Additional files include behind-the-scenes footage from trips on Air Drake, Drake’s show at the Apollo Theater, and more. You can dive into the new music and all the files below.

Kendrick Lamar, Drake, & More Headline The MTV Award Nominees For Hip-Hop

by

The MTV Video Music Awards are almost here, with September 10 being the air date. So, with just a little bit of time left before the show, the nominees are known, according to HipHopDX. In terms of overall nominations, pop megastar Taylor Swift is leading the way pretty expectedly. She is up for ten categories and her former collaborator Post Malone is tailing right behind with 9. However, we know you want to hear about the hip-hop artists who have the potential to take home the hardware, so let’s get into it.

The main players for 2024 without a doubt are going to be Drake and Kendrick Lamar. However, Eminem at the ripe age of 51, is also being recognized heavily for his efforts this year. In fact, he has six to his name all thanks to his single “Houdini”, excluding one as he is in the running for Artist of the Year. There, he’s competing with Ariana Grande, Bad Bunny, Sabrina Carpenter, SZA, and Taylor Swift. As for Drizzy and Kung Fu Kenny, though, here’s where they can win. Out of the latter’s diss records towards The Boy, “Not Like Us” is the one that was selected, unsurprisingly.

That has the possibility for taking home the Song of the Year category and you can see who he’s up against in the graphic above. As for Drake, he’s locked in for two due to his “Rich Baby Daddy” track with SZA and Sexyy Red. Best Hip-Hop and Best Collaboration are his opportunities. There are also other artist’s looking to build on their success such as GloRilla, Gunna, Megan Thee Stallion, Travis Scott, Jack Harlow, and more. Voting is now open, and you check out the IG post from MTV above to learn more.

Mustard Trolled Mercilessly Online For Previously Wanting A Drake Feature

by

Prior to this whole Drake and Kendrick Lamar debacle, Mustard (formerly DJ Mustard) and Drake were on good terms. While they did not have the most rapport in terms of making music together, they did assist YG with “Who Do You Love?” back in 2014. Perhaps this started the producer’s respect for The Boy because about five years later, Mustard was doing all he could to get him on his 2019 LP, Perfect Ten. Specifically, he wanted him for the track “100 Bands” which went onto to feature Quavo, YG, and Meek Mill. However, things obviously never came to fruition and that was even with a lot of phone calls.

Mustard was asked about this during an interview with New York’s Power 105.1 and revealed that he wasn’t even ignoring him. “Nah, he didn’t ignore me… he didn’t take the call. I called a lot of times. I seen him a couple of times and he was like ‘Send me something’”. So, why are mentioning this to you? Well, with Mustard seemingly at odds with Drake now, the latter’s fans are resurfacing this old interview and claiming that this is when the producer began to have hate for the MC.

Drake Fans Are Having A Field Day With Mustard

“They all need that Drake stimulus package🤣🤣🤣🤣”, one user on X trolls. Another makes funny callback to a Kendrick lyric on “Not Like Us”, “He a fan, he a fan, he a fan, he a fan…….”. You could argue this started the side beef between these two. However, you also have to look at Mustard producing “Not Like Us” and Drake following the beat maker’s ex-wife Chanel Thierry on social media as possible root causes as well.

What are your thoughts on Mustard wanting to get Drake on a song in the past? Do you think this is the reason that the producer has some hatred for the Canadian MC? How do you think Drake would have sounded on “100 Bands”? 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 Drake and Mustard. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

Travis Scott Plays New Drake Song During DJ Set Despite Beef Rumors

by

Travis Scott occupied an odd space in the Drake vs. Kendrick Lamar battle. The Houston rapper didn’t come out and diss Drake outright. He didn’t side with him, either. In fact, rumors spread that the two had problems of their own behind the scenes. Drake infamously brought an inflatable Travis Scott head out during a concert performance, and then pretended to shoot it down. All this while rapping his song with Scott, “Meltdown.” Things might be less dramatic than we all thought, though. Scott put on a DJ set on August 5, and proceeded to play Drake’s new single.

It’s worth noting that Gordo attended the DJ set in question. Gordo produced the song that Travis Scott played, “Sideways,” and he made a point of partying alongside Scott during the set. The clip that Gordo uploaded to his IG Story shows both him and Scott dancing to Drake’s vocals. There are lots of different ways to interpret the clip. Travis Scott may have been encouraged to play “Sideways” since Gordo was in attendance. He might have simply played the song on the inkling that it would play well during the set. Or maybe he was genuinely extending an olive branch to Drake after a combative first half of the year.

Travis Scott And Drake Have Been In A Cold War

The latter is a little hard to believe. Travis Scott may not have dissed Drizzy, but he definitely seemed content to give the rappers who were dissing him a platform. Future and Metro Boomin performed a set at Rolling Loud in March, and they brought Scott onstage as a guest. The Houston rapper did his thing, but he insisted that the duo perform their Drake diss, “Like That,” before he gets off stage. “Please, bro,” he told Metro Boomin. “I’m sorry, Metro’s trying to get out of here. Nah, Metro, you’re gon’ let that sh*t go right now, bro.”

In May, during the height of the Drake vs. Kendrick Lamar battle, DJ Akademiks claimed that the latter has a secret op. “I found out Drake has an opp that none of us know,” he explained. “A huge rapper that we all think is his friend! I found that out like two days ago.” The consensus among fans was that it was Travis Scott. Still, Drake and Scott have not publicly bad-mouthed each other, or preserved their issues on wax. Maybe the Gordo clip is a step in the right direction for the “Sicko Mode” boys.

Steph Curry Admits He’s Still A Huge Drake Fan After Kendrick Lamar Beef

by

Steph Curry is one of the greatest basketball players of his generation. It should come as no surprise, then, that he’s been referenced multiple times by multiplatinum rappers. Drake has been a practice of likening himself to Curry since 2015. The Golden State superstar seemed to appreciate the shout outs, carrying on a public friendship with Drizzy over the last decade. 2024 hasn’t been a great time for Drake or his fans, though, and many celebrities have hopped off the bandwagon. Steph Curry isn’t one of them.

Curry was the focus of a recent profile in GQ Sports. He discussed his career, and his involvement in the U.S. Olympics. The most unexpected, yet intriguing part of the profile, however, came when the Drake vs Kendrick Lamar beef was mentioned. Steph Curry did not hesitate to weigh in, and put his sizable weight behind the 6 God. “I’m a big Drake guy. I’ve been for a long time,” he asserted. He recognized that it has become fashionable to rag on the Toronto superstar, but he’s remained steadfast in his fandom. “I think obviously you know what it is for the rap industry to have that,” Curry added. “But I still rock with Drake. Absolutely. Absolutely.”

Steph Curry’s name was actually used as a dig against Drake on the Kendrick Lamar diss “Meet the Grahams.” Lamar urged Curry to keep his family away from the rapper, given the accusations that have been leveled at him. LeBron James’ family was also mentioned, but James has made it very clear that he has no problem switching sides. Despite being a Drake stan for over a decade, James hyped up Dot and even went to the Pop Out show on Juneteenth. The divide between Steph Curry and James was crystal clear when “Not Like Us” played during the Olympics. Curry complained about the song. “Damn with this song,” he vented aloud. “It’s not the only song in America.” James, on the other hand, said he “loved it.”

Steph Curry has never discussed Kendrick Lamar publicly. There appears to be some bizarre synergy between the Compton rapper and Curry’s Warriors, though. Fans notice that whenever Lamar drops an album, the Warriors win an NBA title. It’s lined up multiple times: 2015, 2017, 2018, and 2022. The funny thing is that Lamar isn’t even a Warriors fan. He’s a Los Angeles Lakers supporter, through and through. If Dot decides to drop in 2024, though, the streak could be broken.

Stephen Curry Says He Is ‘A Big Drake Guy,’ Despite Him Falling Out Of Favor With The Public

In hip-hop, Drake appears to be public enemy number one. Thanks to Kendrick Lamar’s chart-topping diss track, “Not Like Us,” the Toronto native fell out of favor with hip-hop lovers around the world.

Even public displays of support from Lil Wayne and Lil Yachty, could win Drake over cool points. However, despite it all, future NBA Hall of Famer, Stephen Curry, hasn’t turned his back on his friend. In fact, according to him, he is “a big Drake guy.”

In an interview with GQ, Stephen Curry showed his love for the “Family Matters” rapper.

After being asked about his thoughts on the vicious Kendrick Lamar and Drake beef, Curry made it clear as to which side he stands on.

“I’m a big Drake guy,” he said. “I’ve been for a long time.”

Curry went on to seemingly agree with the public’s declaration that Kendrick Lamar took home the victory in their beef. Still, that hasn’t swayed Curry’s support in any way.

“I think obviously you know what it is for the rap industry to have that,” he said. “But I still rock with Drake. Absolutely. Absolutely.”

As transplant representative for the West Coast, maybe Stephen Curry can encourage the rest of California to ease up on Drake.

LeBron James Seemingly Responds To Drake Beef Speculation

by

Throughout Drake and Kendrick Lamar’s beef dozens of celebrities were reacting to the songs that came from it. Any time they were vibing to each artist’s disse, the fanbase of that rapper would claim them as their own. To be honest, all of that was a big stretch. Maybe that certain person just enjoys the song for what it is and not for who its dissing. However, there have been some cases where the opposite is true, too. As for the reaches, LeBron James was essentially shunned from Drake’s fanbase due to him supporting Lamar’s tracks and The Pop Out. Because of this, some people were actually running with the idea that James had been favoring the Compton kid.

Joe Budden was one of the ones entertaining it, doing so on his self-titled podcast. What got him intrigued in this “passive-aggressive LeBron-Drake beef” was the fact that the Canadian rapper was congratulating the Olympic athletes, but not James. “I know nobody is paying too much attention to it, but it is a real thing. It’s happening”, Budden urged. “Savannah might just really love that shirt, and I don’t speak about people’s wives, but she might just really love that shirt, brand, and Kendrick, and ain’t paying what y’all doing no mind. Maybe, maybe. But LeBron posing in the picture the way he did with her in the shirt tells me that he saw the Drake post… “They’ve been going back and forth since this ‘Not Like Us’ s***.’ And it’s interesting to me”.

LeBron Will Always Have Love For Drake

However, that all seems to be over with. LeBron has supposedly been listening to the chatter around his “fractured” relationship with The Boy and decided to post a pic on his IG Story. That photo is of Drake’s Air Force 1 collaborative sneaker that reads “Love you forever” on the midsole. The NBA vet then put the “♾” emoji underneath, symbolizing that their ties will never be broken. Of course, Drake’s stans got a hold of this on X and are calling him a “team switcher”.

What are your thoughts on LeBron James reposting Drake’s Air Force 1 sneaker on his IG Story amid their “beef”? Do you think they were ever at odds with one another, or was that the fanbase portraying it that way? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments.

Mr. Hotspot Hasn’t Cleared The Sample On Drake And Lil Yachty’s Unreleased Song, And He Explained Why

by

In late July, Kai Cenat played an unreleased Drake and Lil Yachty collaborative song during one his livestreams. Last week, Lil Yachty confirmed that it was an intentional leak because “we couldn’t get the sample cleared” while appearing on Andrew Schulz’s Flagrant podcast.

Mr. Hotspot has a wholesome explanation as to why he hasn’t cleared the sample for Drake and Lil Yachty.

“We recorded him a clean reference, and we sent it into them,” Mr. Hotspot said on TikTok Live, as captured by Complex. “So, hopefully they re-record the clean reference, and we come out the clean, goodness gracious altogether. So, it’s a process, but it would for both of their brands like that. I’m blessed to work with children, so we just gotta make it clean for them.”

Mr. Hotspot continued, “We don’t need no children getting whooped ’cause they said this or that, you understand? If you look at the backside, it’s the children who really running these views up. So, if we make sure both verses [are] clean, everybody coming clean, everybody gonna benefit, for sure. It’s a process, but we appreciate you being patient. We sent it in. They got it today, and those boys about to turn up. We ain’t trying to hold them back from nothing, but we just need the morals correct. That’s all.”

According to Genius, the leaked “S.O.D. (Supersoak)” lyrics are not kid-friendly.

With Flagrant, Lil Yachty also confirmed that the song would not release in an official capacity and explained the complications of getting a sample cleared from Mr. Hotspot: “This wasn’t an artist; this was an Instagram, social media influencer. He went down, like, a Christian path.” When asked how much money was offered to Mr. Hotspot, Yachty said, “I don’t even think we got into money. He was like, ‘No.’”

Mustard Claimed Album Sales Were ‘A Form Of White Supremacy,’ But Fans Believe The Producer’s Declaration Has Other Ego-Driven Roots

Mustard produced Kendrick Lamar’s chart-topping Drake diss track, “Not Like Us.” However, it seems that momentum hasn’t translated over into his personal projects.

On July 26, the acclaimed producer dropped his latest album, Faith Of A Mustard Seed. Now, the first week sells projections are supposedly in. According to Akademiks, the body of work sold 18k units.

As users online began to declare the album a “flop,” Mustard made a bold claim on his personal X (formerly Twitter) page. “Album sales are a form of white supremacy you n****s racist,” he wrote.

He then sent a jab Drake’s way before turning his attention to Akademiks, writing: “Drake is the Malcolm X of white people 😂 and Akademiks make sure you post Gordo’s first week since Drake thought he did a thing with making him drop on the same day as me 😂.”

However, fans didn’t let Mustard’s first declaration pass without pushing back. One pointed out that Ice Spice’s debut album Y2K out sold his, to which he was left speechless.

Many began to dogpile Mustard as they referenced his past reaction to his 2019 album, Perfect Ten, first week sells.

“Now it’s racism, should’ve got Carti up there again, maybe you would’ve moved some units,” penned one user.

“It’s only racist when your album flops. If your album sold well, you’d be flexing your sales 😂😂😭😭,” laughed another.

“No album sales represent if your audience / the marketplace actually like what you produce. Clearly they don’t like you. Stop playing the race card,” chimed another.

But several people jumped in to side with Mustard. “Too many people take numbers way too seriously. Let the music speak,” argued one user.

“Plenty of artists drop projects that have low sales In the beginning for it to go platinum later,” added another.

“I hate how people use album sales as a metric to grade how good and powerful the music is. If you changed one person’s life while they listened to any of the tracks, you already won, man,” wrote one user.

The public’s tracking of first week sells has been used to instigate multiple rap feuds.

Faith Of A Mustard Seed is out on now via 10 Summers Records and Interscope.

Drake Performs “Wah Gwan Delilah” For The First Time In Toronto In Front Of Massive Crowd At PARTYNEXTDOOR’s Show

by

Outside of Drake losing in the Kendrick Lamar beef, the other conclusion that was being pushed heavily was that he was “cooked”. Perhaps those were just K-Dot fans saying such things, but nevertheless, those comments were prevalent. That was even the case after the fact, as everything Drake was doing was getting torn apart. His musical output is probably the thing that most were drawing attention to. His features on Sexyy Red’s “U My Everything” and Snowd4y’s “Wah Gwan Delilah” are maybe the worst representations of the Canadian superstar’s artistry over the last decade. However, Kendrick fans and hater alike may want to reconsider those previous claims after Drake’s appearance at PARTYNEXTDOOR’s recent show.

The Boy shared a post on his Instagram account just hours ago from the PND tour stop in Toronto, captioning it, “Emotions running high 😮‍💨”. He included the moment right after he was brought onstage after the lights kicked back on. The fans were shocked, as Drizzy was a surprise guest. All you can hear in the video is the deafening shrieks and screams from the concertgoers, shutting down any claims that he is down and out after the Kendrick affair.

In conjunction with this, he went on to perform the aforementioned and highly maligned “Wah Gwan Delilah” for the first time. Additionally, this unexpected appearance from Drake came with more excitement. He told the fans that him and his longtime OVO signee have been working on a collaborative album all while teasing a potential fall release date. “On behalf of me and Party, we’ve been working on something for y’all. So, you get the summer over with, you do what you need to do. I know all you girls are outside. When it gets a little chilly, PARTYNEXTDOOR and Drake album will be waiting right there for you”. Maybe this is what DJ Akademiks was foreshadowing just a couple of days ago?

What are your thoughts on Drake playing “Wah Gwan Delilah” live in front of the PARTYNEXTDOOR fans for the first time? Is this a song you actually enjoy, or is it a just a meme in your opinion? How do you feel about him and PND working on a collaboration album? Do you think they will pull through on a fall release date? Does this turnout prove Drake can never truly be down and out?
