Def Jam Wants You To “Def The Halls” With Their Christmas Album Feat. Jhené Aiko, Coco Jones, And More

If you’re not in the holiday spirit by now, a handful of Def Jam artists are here specifically to change that. In wake of the Christmas season, we’ve previously featured festive tracks from Chris Brown, Ari Lennox, and Sevyn Streeter. Now, we have 16 titles for you on Def The Halls, many of which put a modern twist on the songs of the season.

The 16-track project actually landed back in October, just in time for Halloween. However, seeing as it’s celebrating the rapidly approaching holiday, we figured now was a better time than ever to let it have a moment in the spotlight.

Mikhala Jené firstly opens things up on “Please Come Home For Christmas.” Later, we hear from her again on “This Christmas.” Another double appearance comes from Kendra Jae who assists on both “Under The Mistletoe” with AUGUST 08 and “BBC” with DaniLeigh.

Alessia Cara holds things down with “Make It To Christmas,” and Jhené Aiko is obviously a standout with her work on “Wrap Me Up.”

Afterward, we hear from Coco Jones on “Silver Bells,” Kidd Kenn and Pap Chanel on “Naughty,” and finally, AUGUST 08 closes things out with “Silent Night.”

Stream Def Jam’s Def The Halls compilation album on Spotify or Apple Music below. Afterward, let us know which title is your favourite in the comments.

Big Sean Teases New Music & Flaunts Ring, Sparking Marriage Rumors

While previewing some new music on social media, Big Sean sparked Jhene Aiko marriage rumors after he talked about a wedding in his song lyrics. The “Bounce Back” rapper also pointed at a ring placed on his fourth finger, further creating online chatter.

While in the studio, the Detroit artist rapped along to the track, saying, “They rather see me buried alive and barely alive / How many friends I got to have my casket carried outside / Probably not as many would stand and watch me married outside.”

Sharing that the snippet is a feature and not a solo, Big Sean commented under The Shade Room’s Instagram post, “Nah this just a feature I did on my homie Ab-Soul album #Herbert but its new music in 2023 tho. Love.”

Still, he didn’t address whether he had tied the knot. He and Aiko have been romantically linked for years, having previously collaborated on Big Sean’s 2013 hit “Beware” and as the popular hip-hop duo Twenty88.

This past November, the Finally Famous rapper welcomed his first child with Aiko, Noah Hasani.

Writing about his son in an Instagram post, Big Sean penned, “After 24 hours of Labor, A Lunar Eclipse, with rain from the beginning of labor til he was born, he’s here safe and sound. Happy, Healthy and everything we could ever ask for and more. Any and everything for you Son.”

He uploaded several pictures of him and the “Sativa” songstress in the hospital and delivery room, and also showed photos of him holding their newborn child.

Speaking with TMZ back in October, Big Sean revealed that he’d be taking a brief step back from music to focus on his family following Noah’s birth.

“Well I’m definitely taking some time for it to just be us, he said at the time, adding, “You can’t really put a time limit on it.”

Ab-Soul Lights Up “Herbert” Ft. Big Sean, Jhené Aiko, SiR, Punch & More

When Top Dawg Entertainment shoots, they never miss, and Ab-Soul continues his reign with Herbert. The California icon is back with his first project in six years, and it is an offering that once again highlights Ab’s talents. Artists like Jhené Aiko, Big Sean, Joey Bada$$, SiR, and even TDE’s president Punch make appearances on the record. It’s a lyrical giant from one track to the next, and fans have already taken to social media to dissect his bars.

Once again, Ab gets personal in his rhymes, and in a recent interview, he was asked if it is “invasive” for strangers to treat the rapper as if they know him.

“No. That’s fine. But that’s why this album is for everyone who’s not a fan of mine that really knows me,” he told Vulture. “This album is for them. But it’s kind of in an organic, creative way. It’s one of those things where it still ends up translating universally, even as I’m talking specifically to my close friends and family.”

Additionally, it looks as if we’re about to get a one-on-one interview between Charlamagne Tha God and Ab. A teaser of the intimate chat was shared by the rapper and it looks as if he’s addressing just about everything with the famed radio host.

HERSource: Jhené Aiko Presents ‘Sleep Soul Relaxing R&B Baby Sleep Music Vol. 2’

Screen Shot 2022 12 12 at 5.31.45 PM

Today, Sleep Soul, a fresh R&B-inspired take on the traditional baby sleep music genre presented by Jhené Aiko, unveils its newest project entitled “Sleep Soul Relaxing R&B Baby Sleep Music Vol.2 Presented by Jhené Aiko.” Listen to Sleep Soul Volume II – HERE

The 20-song collection perfects Sleep Soul’s signature fusion of translucent and soothing R&B melodies with white, pink, and brown noise soundscapes perfectly crafted to lull you and your baby into sleep for the night. Each track was also executive produced by multiplatinum R&B trailblazer Jhené Aiko, a proud mom herself. In regards to Sleep Soul, Aiko noted, “I’m super excited to partner with Sleep Soul to share this R&B lullaby album. As a mom of a newborn, I can really appreciate anything that helps me and my baby boy get to sleep. These R&B lullaby tracks help soothe and relax Mom, Dad and baby. Being a part of a project like this is important to me because I believe sleep is essential for the well being of both parent and child.” 

In March 2022, Sleep Soul released Sleep Soul Volume 1, but since the release of Volume 1, Sleep Soul has partnered with the #1 app for sleep and meditation, Calm. The app featured the album prominently, as well as on Calm’s Instagram with over 2.9 million followers. The app will also feature “Sleep Soul Relaxing R&B Baby Sleep Music Vol.2 Presented by Jhené Aiko” where it will go live on December 15 on its homepage and new music releases section as well as in their newsletter to 1M+ subscribers.

The Sleep Soul team is currently working to seed out branded Sleep Soul packages for the holidays. Stay tuned for more to come from Sleep Soul.

Jhene Aiko Teams With Sleep Soul For R&B Album Designed For Babies

Jhene Aiko recently announced the release date for Sleep Soul Vol. 2, a melodic R&B album curated for infants. Debuting this Friday (Dec. 9), the project will feature lullabies sung by the Grammy-nominated artist.

Promoting the album with her 16 million Instagram followers, the singer-songwriter teased the release last week.

Sleep Soul released volume 1 of their lullaby collection earlier this year. Featuring a list of 20 tracks, the hour-long album contained soothing songs like “Snooze Lyfe” and “Beauty Sleep.”

Aiko welcomed her son Noah Hasani with rapper Big Sean last month. Sharing intimate pictures from the delivery room, the Souled Out singer penned on social media, “After 24 hours of labor, a total lunar eclipse, and while it was pouring rain… he came.”

Big Sean also shared the milestone on Instagram. Posting a series of pictures, the “Bounce Back” rapper announced that their baby was “here safe and sound.”

“Happy, Healthy and everything we could ever ask for and more. Any and everything for you Son,” he also shared.

Sleep Soul Vol. 2 will be Aiko’s first project since her 2020 album Chilombo. The R&B collection featured the hits “PU$$Y Fairy (OTW)” and “Triggered (freestyle).” It peaked at number one on Billboard’s Top R&B Albums chart and became platinum-certified in early 2021.

Earlier this year, the 34-year-old revealed that she and Big Sean were “working on” a new Twenty88 project. The duo released their self-titled album in 2016, gaining them a loyal cult following.

On what fans can expect next, Aiko told Billboard this past July, “With the first Twenty88, we were playing characters — and that was really fun because we both like to act, and love watching movies. Expect more theatrics on the next one.”

“I’m working on a few other projects too that I’m really excited to share,” the Los Angeles native also revealed. “I don’t want people to be disappointed if it doesn’t happen when I want, but it will be when the time is right, because I like to be intuitive with my releases.”

Check back in with HNHH for new updates on Twenty88’s return.

Jhené Aiko Shares A September Bump Dump Featuring Big Sean: Photos

It’s been a busy year in the baby-making department for several of our favourite recording artists, including Rihanna and A$AP Rocky, NBA YoungBoy and Jazlyn Mychelle, as well as Big Sean and Jhené Aiko.

The R&B songstress is already a mother of one from her past relationship with Omarion’s brother, O’Ryan, but for the better part of the last year, she’s been carrying around her first child with the “Mercy” rapper, who hasn’t been able to stop gushing about how eager he is for fatherhood.

As her due date nears closer and closer, Aiko has shared a “September bump dump” with her 15.1 million Instagram followers, revealing to the world just a few of the amazing outfits she and her bump have been sporting over the past few weeks.

The “Sativa” hitmaker kicked things off with a mirror selfie wearing baggy blue jeans and a white tank top, keeping things casual before she changed into a tight white dress with some glamorous makeup on the second slide.

Afterward, Big Sean made an appearance, holding his girlfriend’s budding belly in his hands while she made duck lips for the camera – the same expression later appeared in more of the uploads.

Aside from the mirror selfies and romantic couple snapshots, Aiko also posed alongside her oldest, 13-year-old Namiko Love Browner, showing how similar the two look thanks to the California native’s clearly strong genes.

Despite being almost ready to pop, Jhené has been booked and busy in recent weeks, performing a “magical” show for audiences at the Greek Theatre while 31 weeks pregnant.

In other news, Aiko’s Trip album was recently certified platinum, five years after its initial release – read more about that here, and tap back in with HNHH later for more pop culture news updates.

The Raunchiest Rap Songs Of All Time

It all started with a tweet from my colleague J’na Jefferson and a viral meme of Chris Pine dissociating during a press conference for his controversial film, Don’t Worry Darling. The joke highlighted how common vulgarity is in hip-hop and how, where it once caused no shortage of consternation in the public sphere, we’ve become so inured to that vulgarity that the average person doesn’t even flinch when “WAP” plays on a public PA (provided Ben Shapiro is not an average person).

Of course, that got me wondering: what are the most vulgar rap songs in existence? After all, there are still degrees to the filth that can make us bob our heads and shake our butts. Not to mention, I thought it’d be fun to sort of track the evolution of raunchy raps from the naughty nineties to the current wave of potty-mouthed hits. Since it was more or less J’na’s idea, it was even more fun to get some of her perspective on it, as well.

As always, this is by no means the most comprehensive list ever — you’re likely to find a wealth of tracks every bit as nasty as these if you look hard enough. Needless to say, it’s pretty NSFW too — headphones are definitely recommended.

Too Short — “Freaky Tales”

Too Short is well-known for his raunchy rhymes and songs like “Freaky Tales” are part of the reason why. Considered the Oakland legend’s breakout in 1987, “Freaky Tales” wouldn’t end up being his biggest hit, but it is something like his signature song. While he insists that the song is meant to be satirical, that didn’t stop it from acquiring the dubious distinction of being the first “dirty’ rap song to gain mainstream exposure in the United States, making him an early target of prudish campaigns targeting the nascent genre. — Aaron Williams

Ice Cube — “Givin’ Up The Nappy Dug Out”

A relic of a time when rappers rebelliously pushed boundaries for sheer shock value as a contrarian response to the conservative backlash against them, “Givin’ Up The Nappy Dug Out” is also kind of an embarrassing example of just how, well, gross that impulse can get. Compare it to any of the more modern examples and the bawdy boasts sound more spiteful than sexy — another artifact of the wild west mentality that was spawned by the early ’90s fascination with dark, misogynistic humor that pervaded hip-hop in 1991. — AW

Snoop Dogg — “Ain’t No Fun” Feat. Warren G, Nate Dogg & Kurupt

Introducing his 213 and DPG homies on his 1993 debut Doggystyle, Snoop somehow dodged the criticisms suffered by his peers despite having one of the more profane mainstays of Golden Era raunch rap. Perhaps it’s because of Snoop’s charm, or may it’s the beat, but “Ain’t No Fun” has stood the test of time to become one of the West Coast’s most beloved hits. Whenever it comes on the radio, it’s practically all instrumental, yet seemingly everyone from Los Angeles can recite nearly every word by heart — and does, pretty much any time it comes on. — AW

Akinyele — “Put It In Your Mouth”

Akinyele’s best-known hit, “Put It In Your Mouth,” was something of a surprise success when it dropped in 1996, and remains a favorite among underground rap fans to this day. Maybe it’s because it’s more lighthearted than many of the more rugged sex raps that surrounded it, with a country-fried guitar riff and a catchy chorus sung by Kia Jefferies, whose feminine presence softens Akinyele’s aggressive delivery. There’s a reason that many of the biggest hits of recent years have come from female voices. While men’s raps often objectify them, women make themselves active participants when they chime in — which marks a welcome change and a more entertaining dynamic. — AW

Slick Rick — “Adults Only”

A Dame Grease-produced album cut from 1999’s The Art Of Storytelling, Rick the Ruler’s most ribald rhymes to date are an unfortunate byproduct of the decade’s ever-growing excesses. The verses veer even more porn-y than horny, with a mean-spiritedness that makes it a lot less fun to listen to than the playful products of the decades to come. Sometimes, to figure out what works, you’ve got to try something that doesn’t. — AW

Khia — “My Neck, My Back (Lick It)”

Ah, the song that launched a thousand ships. Well, maybe not, but nothing stoked fear into the hearts of conservatives quite like Tampa emcee Khia’s 2002 hit, which has since been sampled by Saweetie and covered by both Miley Cyrus and Elle King. Found on her Thug Misses LP, the dirty South club anthem doesn’t offer any “can you”s or “pretty please”s. Instead, Khia demands sexual pleasure “til the crack of dawn,” instructing her partner just how she wants to do it…do it, do it, do it, do it. When asked about the then-burgeoning track, Khia offered insight into its popularity: “I guess the world is just nasty and freaky like that.” Good answer. — J’na Jefferson

Lil Kim — “Magic Stick” Feat. 50 Cent

In this spirited cut from Lil Kim’s La Bella Mafia, the Queen Bee and 50 Cent trade bars about their incomprehensibly special privates. Kim’s exceptional parts will have men ready to pay her bills and ask her to marry them, while Fiddy’s will have his partner calling their mother, letting them know they’ve met “the one.” All in all, their superior skills in the bedroom are beyond their partners’ wildest dreams. With the string of mid-2000s raunch tracks hitting the Billboard charts, it’s no wonder that “Magic Stick” peaked at No. 2, making it Kim’s highest-charting solo hit, and one of 50 Cent’s biggest top 10 hits (they’ve since fallen out, though). Magical, indeed. — JJ

Ludacris — “Splash Waterfalls”

Let’s face it; there are 20 songs on this list and over half of them could have been Ludacris entries (before he became rap dad extraordinaire). There’s his breakout hit “What’s Your Fantasy” featuring Trina, his strip-club anthem “P-Poppin’” featuring Shawnna, and any number of featured verses alongside the likes of Fergie, John Legend, Missy Elliott, Usher, and more. But where usually, Luda’s lascivious lyrics are usually marked by clever double entendres, here, he’s refreshingly blunt, and while the remix adds a smooth chorus courtesy of soul legend Raphael Saadiq, the original makes his debauched desires deliciously plain. — AW

Petey Pablo — “Freek-A-Leek” Feat. Lil Jon

Now, this is a song that must be heard to be believed, as the heavily-edited version doesn’t do much to satiate the listener’s vivid imagination. In what reads like a thorough to-do list, the Crunk music superstar raps about not only the sexual acts he plans on doing, but also the women he plans on doing these things with (Shamika, Kiesha, Tara, hell, Sabrina, Crystal, and DaRhonda are there, too), and the accouterments for these rendezvous (alcohol and plenty of drugs). Like most Crunk songs during this era, the beat — consisting of a catchy synth and a cleverly-placed flute — will have you moving all night long, which is about the duration of time Petey will be doing what he plans to do. — JJ

Ying Yang Twins — “Wait (The Whisper Song)”

The Ying Yang Twins’ 2005 hit “Wait (The Whisper Song)” came together rather organically. According to the producer Mr. Collipark (are we seeing a trend?), he convinced the ATLiens to do an entire ASMR-style, dirty-talking track while dining at Harlem’s soul food staple Sylvia’s. The rest was (unintentional) history. While some have called the song’s explicit cut “predatory” in recent years, many others opt to celebrate the song for not only its filthy glory — “Wait ’til you see my d*ck…” is the chorus’ kicker — but also for showing that the then-growing style of crunk music had a sensual, rather seductive side to it. (We think you’re bluffing if you say you don’t bounce a little when that beat hits.) — JJ

David Banner — “Play”

Undeniably the most successful (and salacious) song of David Banner’s career, 2005’s “Play” takes the noted producer and puts him into the spotlight like never before. The dirty version of the Mr. Collipark-produced song is a far cry from the body-centric, nearly Kidz Bop-level version, featuring lyrics less about exercising and more about a…different form of physical euphoria. Every sexual act you could count is referenced in the track, making this one for the books. (And almost too dirty to write here.) Banner never really reached the same heights after this, so think of “Play” as his grand opening and glorious closing. — JJ

Trina — “Look Back At Me”

“I gotta ass so big like the sun…” Within the first few illuminating bars of Trina’s “Look Back At Me,” listeners should already know the ride that they’re about to be on. From straightforward admissions of knowing how to “spin around and keep the d**k still inside,” to making it rain (and not with golden coins), nothing is left to the imagination on the Killer Mike-assisted track from Trina’s 2008 album Still Da Baddest. But what’s even better is the song’s end, where the Miami-bred icon essentially proclaims that she’s still not satisfied and will be moving on to the next conquest—autonomy at its finest. — JJ

Lady — “Yankin”

Although this one wasn’t the biggest hit in its day when it dropped in 2011, it’s notable for basically predicting the whole “p*ssy rap” movement that was to come before the decade was out. At the time, it was considered something of a novelty, a viral joke rap in the vein of Awkafina’s “My Vag” or Yung Humma and Flynt Flossy’s “Smang It.” But had Lady not been so very ahead of her time, who knows whether there’d be so many women currently running rap? — AW

Nicki Minaj — “Anaconda”

Nicki’s got a mini-collection of impressive smash raps that could have filled this slot… [cough]… but 2014’s “Anaconda” easily takes the cake… [cough cough]… as her most raunchy song to date. Sure, “Barbie Dreams” (and its predecessor “Dreams”) saw Nicki figuratively bang half the rap game, but on “Anaconda,” she fills her verses with lines like “P*ssy put his ass to sleep, now he calling me NyQuil” — and it’s hard to argue that any of her songs focus so heavily on her own posterior. Plus, it’s one of her most fun songs and biggest hits, even if it isn’t one of her favorites — and her willingness to return to the formula for “Super Freaky Girl” shows she knows it’s a recipe for success. — AW

Cupcakke — “Deepthroat”

Newsflash: women enjoy sex. Cupcakke, the Chicago musician well-known for her bold, brazen, and libidinous rhymes, amplifies this “breaking news” in her sophomore single, 2016’s “Deepthroat” — which she credits for inspiring modern-day rappers. Encouraged by the vulgarity found in ‘90s- and early-aughts rap verses from Trina, Lil Kim, and Foxy Brown, the no-holds-barred track features erotic pleading and moaning from start to finish. Even more powerful, though, is the imagery Cupcakke evokes through her words on the over three-minute track. “My p*ssy pink just like salami,” she spits, before adding on the chorus, “don’t wanna f*ck up my nails, so I pick [that d*ck] up with chopsticks.” In an interview about the song, Cupcakke notes that when she’s writing, explicitness is the very least of her concerns. “People feel afraid to say, ‘Oh I suck d*ck…’ When I write, I’m free and I don’t care.” — JJ

Saweetie — “My Type (Remix)” Feat. City Girls & Jhené Aiko’s

Expectant mother Jhené Aiko is known for her duality. Not only can she sing about peace and good vibes, but she’s also no stranger to whipping out some positively filthy language. (But what do you expect from “a b*tch from Slauson”?) Case in point: her standout albeit much too short verse on Saweetie’s “My Type (Remix).” Jhené lets listeners know that she’s a fan of a partner who can not only “eat the p*ssy ’til [she] levitates”— this down-and-dirty lover must also be willing to meditate with her afterward, crystals and all. Never has there been a guest verse that defines the artist spitting it so succinctly. — JJ

Hitmaka — “Thot Box (Remix)” Feat. Young MA, Dreezy, DreamDoll, Mulatto, Chinese Kitty

One of the more recent additions to the sex rap canon, Hitmaka‘s 2019 hit offers the best example that the ladies just do it better. While the original, which featured 2 Chainz, A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, Meek Mill, Tyga, and YBN Nahmir, was a competent party jam, they girls-only remix flipped the concept and the power dynamic, holding up a mesmerizing mirror image that saw the women taking charge and coming way more clever with it. Dreezy’s verse remains a personal favorite. — AW

Cardi B — “WAP” Feat. Megan Thee Stallion

Pretty much THEE sex anthem of the 2020s so far, Cardi’s 2020 Jersey club-sampling hit came out of nowhere and put pop culture in a chokehold. Debuting at No. 1 and freaking out the entire contributing cast of Fox News, “WAP” introduced mainstream America to the concept of the kind of swimming pool sex where the participants bring the H2O themselves. Dominating radio and playlists despite its head-turning theme, Cardi B had us coming up with choruses of creative acronyms to throw our elders off the scent, lest they realize they’d been turning up to an ode to squirting. — AW
