TwoTiime Flips Classic Jackson 5 Record On “One More Chance”

December 14, 2023 by newhiphopnews

TwoTiime been on our radar ever since he dropped “Hood Cry.” The Ottawa rapper first appeared on HotNewHipHop with the release of his single, “Up2Me.” Since then, TwoTiime has been making some serious strides, culminating in a deal with Columbia Records and Polo G’s ODA (Only Dreamers Achieve) imprint. With the backing of a major label, the rapper is undoubtedly gearing up to make a splash in 2024. However, he’s not leaving us empty-handed before closing out 2023.

This afternoon, TwoTiime came through with his latest single, “One More Chance,” a refreshing bop that finds the Ottawa artist tackling an iconic sample from The Jackson 5’s “I Want You Back.” The single showcases TwoTiime’s innate ability to craft earworms of hooks while he delivers a message to the ladies and seemingly shoots his shot at Coi Leray. The “Juice” rapper’s charisma also takes center stage in the music video, which was shot in Los Angeles and includes a cameo from the iconic house from Michael Jackson’s Thriller. There’s no doubt that “One More Chance” sets the stage for what will be a fruitful new year in 2024.

TwoTiime To Open For Polo G In Montreal

With “One More Chance” ending his 2023 run, TwoTiime also preparing to open up for Polo G and Fivio Foreign in Montreal this Friday, December 15th at Place Bell. It will undoubtedly be one for the books, especially since it will be the first time Polo G and TwoTiime share the stage in Canada. If you’re in the Montreal area, we recommend getting tickets for tomorrow’s show.

TwoTiime formally announced his deal with Colombia Records and ODA Records back in October and shortly after, unveiled his first single on the label “Priceless.” “Where I come from, this type of thing doesn’t happen. I’m not doing this for myself or my circle at this point. I’m doing this for my whole community,” TwoTiime told HotNewHipHop at the time. “I want them to know anything is possible if you have a dream, hard work, and dedication.” Check out TwoTiime’s new single above and sound off in the comments with your thoughts.

Quotable Lyrics
I heard she got a new man, I ain’t trying to compete
What you need to understand is he ain’t got it like me
How he gave your ass the world if he kept the receipts?
Girl, I know you hate the fact that he’ll never be me

December 6, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Between his decades-long musical career, Michael Jackson made a ton of material. Because of the King Of Pop’s incredible success every scrap of recorded material he’s ever been a part of has been circulated online. Or at least that’s what many fans would assume but there’s a pretty important piece of Jackson’s recorded history that hasn’t been available online, until now.

The first ever piece of recorded music featuring Michael Jackson’s voice dates all the way back to 1967. That’s where his group the Jackson 5 recorded their first-ever song “Big Boy.” The song has never been available online and isn’t on any streaming services but for a limited time, fans will have the opportunity to purchase it. It’s being sold by anotherblock, a Swedish blockchain-based music company. Fans can pick from two different versions the first of which is a $25 package that includes the song, its B-side, and downloadable stems from the track. It also has an alternate $100 version which features all of that and files for an additional nine songs from the same recording session as “Big Boy.” Check out the announcement below.

Michael Jackson’s First Ever Recording For Sale Online

Michael Jackson’s influence over popular music is still being felt so strongly today. There’s an upcoming biopic of Jackson which started filming last month. The movie even features one of his own relatives in the lead role. Jaafar Jackson is taking on the role of his uncle Michael in the film. He impressed fans with both his look and his dance moves in an early sneak peek. Since the film is still pretty early in production, it’s unclear when fans will be able to watch it themselves.

In late October of this year, Jackson’s classic hit “Thriller” returned to the Hot 100. The song emerges every year around Halloween time as fans stream it enough during the holiday for it to shoot back up the charts. What do you think of Michael Jackson’s first-ever recording being sold online nearly 60 years after its original recording? Let us know in the comment section below.
