Mike Dean Claims The Weeknd Joint Album Is On The Horizon

by

Mike Dean is easily one of the best producers to ever do it. Overall, he is responsible for some of the most legendary records in the history of hip-hop. Additionally, he has been very hard at work on Travis Scott’s new album, UTOPIA. Fans have wanted this project for quite some time and the sheer amount of teasers has been impressive. In fact, Scott has even resorted to mimicking Abbey Road, which tells you where his head is at. Ultimately, fans want a classic.

Transitioning back to Mike Dean, he has also been working hard on his other music. For instance, he recently dropped 4:23 which came with EP credits for The Weeknd. Furthermore, the two have worked on the soundtrack to The Idol together. Now, however, Dean is teasing more new music with Abel. On Twitter, someone asked Dean how he is doing. This led to a courteous response in which he dropped a couple of bombshells.

Mike Dean Teases Fans

Firstly, he revealed that he is officially “finishing utopia.” This means that fans can probably expect the album sometime soon. Although, the official date still has yet to be unveiled. Meanwhile, he said that he is “doing another mike dean / weeknd album.” While he didn’t specify what to expect from this new project, this is obviously great news for all of the fans out there. The Weeknd and Mike Dean are known for making incredible music together. Moreover, how can you not be excited about that UTOPIA tidbit?

While it might be a while before we get any of these projects, at least we can look forward to them. Overall, Mike Dean always seems to deliver, and we doubt that is going to change anytime soon.

Talib Kweli & Madlib Announce Joint Album, “Liberation 2”

by

Talib Kweli and Madlib just announced Liberation 2, a sequel to their 2007 collab album releasing on March 6. While it will release exclusively on the Luminary podcast network, they released the project’s first single “After These Messages” via a YouTube music video. Moreover, the track features a very special performance from Kweli’s son, Amani. In addition, the Black Star’s daughter Diani will also appear on Liberation 2‘s tracklist. With this announcement, hip-hop fans are likely salivating at this collaboration between two legends in the game.

Still, the fact that it’s only coming out via a podcast network is likely disappointing for the Spotify-aligned fans out there. However, it calls back to its first installment, Liberation, and its similarly unorthodox release. Moreover, Kweli and Madlib released the album as a full download online in early 2007. It wasn’t in record stores, but rather on the Stones Throw Rappcats website and both artists’ MySpace pages. Also, this isn’t the first time the Brooklyn rapper has worked with Luminary. Exclusively through that platform, he and Yasiin Bey (formerly known as Mos Def) released a long-awaited return from their duo Black Star. Their album No Fear of Time released in May of 2022.

Furthermore, the sequel to their fan-favorite Liberation collaboration will feature Q-Tip, Roc Marciano, and Westside Gunn. In addition, Liberation 2 is reportedly including a posthumous Mac Miller performance, as well. Kweli expressed that their recording process took a decade, and spoke on his thematic intent. “People today are taking stock of what is most important — family, health, wellness, love,” he remarked in a statement. “The materialism and debauchery that is stereotypically associated with hip-hop has lost some of its luster.

“Madlib and I have been consistent in our messaging,” he continued. “Never has there been a better time for such honest, message-driven music that pays tribute to the sounds that came before us.” Whereas Talib recently revived his duo, the legendary producer beside him recently continued his work on forming one of the best current duos. Him and Freddie Gibbs have incredible chemistry on wax, as evidenced by their most recent effort, 2019’s Bandada. Regardless, come back to HNHH for the upcoming album, and for more release news from your favorite hip-hop artists.
