Kali Uchis is one of this generation’s most consistent artists. The sheer volume of music that pours out of her is pretty astounding. What is even more remarkable is that her sonic creativity spans two languages. Last year, she flexed her vocal abilities in English on Red Moon In Venus. This year, on Orquídeas, she will do it all again, but in Spanish.

In a statement, she discussed the delicate inspiration behind the forthcoming project. “The orchid is the national flower of Colombia, and we have more species of orchid than anywhere on earth,” she said. “I always felt distinctly intrigued and magnetized by the flower. This album is inspired by the timeless, eerie, mystic, striking, graceful, and sensual allure of the orchid. With this vast scope of fresh energy, I wish to redefine the way we look at Latinas in music.”

JT Dips Her Toes Into A New Sound In Latest Snippet: Listen

January 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The City Girls are mostly known for their high-octane bangers that get you up on your feet. They have been riding that formula for the past couple of years or so. However, after some disappointing sales from the duo’s last record, RAW, back in October, it might be time to try something else. DJ Akademiks has always been sending potshots toward Yung Miami. After hearing about the single-digit first-week numbers, you know he was right there to say something about it.

But, it seems that JT is taking this in the best way possible. One thing that is great about the start of a new year is to restart and improve on what you did in the past. That is what the 31-year-old rapper is doing with a new snippet that is making the rounds on social media. The Neighborhood Talk‘s Instagram caught wind of some music that she shared and its something new.

JT Is Experimenting

JT is trying her hand at singing and going more melodic with this teaser. The production is more lowkey and minimal as well. It is heavily auto-tuned, however, this could be her just experimenting in the studio. Some people in the comments are saying this song is called “Paradise” because of how many times she repeats it. There is nothing else to really note, other than it is a little taster of what could be to come from JT.

What are your initial thoughts on JT’s new snippet? Does it sound like something you would be looking forward to hearing a full version of? If not, why? Do you think it is the right thing to do for her career to branch off into another sound? Is this something she could create a strong solo catalog, why or why not? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your hottest takes in the comments section below. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest surrounding JT. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on around the music world.

JT Falls In Heels At City Girls Show, Yung Miami Saves The Day

December 18, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Besides being the strongest lyricist of the two City Girls, JT is also the rap diva with a fashion education that she uses to keep herself looking fly. Her taste certainly isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but that hasn’t stopped the Florida native from moving confidently on and off stage. During a recent performance, the “No Bars” hitmaker wore sky-high heels that unfortunately made her fall to the floor while performing on stage. Thankfully, her partner in rhyme Yung Miami was beside her to hype her up and get their show back on track.

In the clip below, JT seems to lose her footing as “Take Yo Man” blares over the speakers. After the City Girl awkwardly stumbles backward and recovers, we see Caresha Brownlee crossing over to help make sure she’s okay before getting back to spitting into the microphone. “I love how Miami went to help her and hyped her back up. Real friend shiii! ,” one Instagram user observed in @theneighborhoodtalk’s comments.

JT Might Tumble Sometimes, But She Always Gets Back Up

“The way I would’ve went backstage, gon head Caresha just finish it ,” someone else quipped, praising JT for not letting a small fall embarrass her. As we move into 2024, it’s unclear exactly what the “Act Up” artists are planning to share with their fans, though the 31-year-old has hinted at her desire to release more solo music as she continues to grow as an artist.

At this point in their careers, Yung Miami and JT are no strangers to criticism from hip-hop heads. Still, they never let the bad attitudes of others get them down – instead, they use it to fuel their fires and become even better at their craft.

Nicki Minaj Flexes Her Thanksgiving Feast

November 24, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Nicki Minaj recently took to social media to show off the meal she prepared for Thanksgiving, leaving her followers drooling. Her feast consisted of mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, chicken, and more. She even threw in some crab legs, an unorthodox but welcome addition to the holiday meal.

Followers fully expected Nicki to pop off in the kitchen this Thanksgiving, and they’re not the only ones. Her friend JT of City Girls shot her a text the day of, letting her know that she was looking forward to seeing what she cooked up. “Happy Thanksgiving!” she wrote. “You started cooking yet? I want to see the food.” Nicki responded, telling her that she’d definitely be taking the opportunity to flex her cooking skills. “Yes tf I am ma’am!!!!!” she wrote, wishing her a happy holiday as well.

JT Wishes She Dined With Nicki

A post shared by The Neighborhood Talk (@theneighborhoodtalk)

The “No Bars” performer went on to share Nicki’s screenshot of their chat, revealing that she wishes she could have dined with Nicki. The Trinidadian-born rapper clearly went all out this year, which makes sense considering all that she has to be thankful for. Earlier this month, she took home an award for Top Female Rap Artist at the Billboard Music Awards for the first time in her career. She went on to thank the Barbz for their support and tease Pink Friday 2, which is slated for release on December 8.

“Thank you to the Billboard Music Awards for presenting me with the best female rap award of 2023,” she said in a clip before blowing fans a kiss. “Barbz, you are amazing. I appreciate you so much. And I can’t wait to share Pink Friday 2 with you on my birthday, December 8.” What do you think of Nicki Minaj’s Thanksgiving dinner? Would you have dined at her house?

Yung Miami Says Blac Chyna Was Her Least Favorite Episode Of Caresha Please

November 15, 2023 by newhiphopnews

In a recent segment of Cosmopolitan‘s entertaining Cheap Shots game, dynamic duo JT and Yung Miami, took a seat to engage in a candid exchange of questions from the game’s cards. The atmosphere was light-hearted, yet revealing, as they delved into personal and professional aspects of their lives. However, one question led to a surprising revelation. It happened when JT asked Yung Miami to name a guest she wouldn’t invite back on her podcast. Yung Miami took less than five seconds to come up with an answer of who she didn’t want to invite back on Caresha Please, and why.

However, without hesitation, Yung Miami shared a name that echoed with significance – Blac Chyna. The unexpected response immediately piqued the audience’s interest, as Yung Miami went on to explain her reasoning behind the decision. “It was one of my interviews where I didn’t really feel a connection,” Yung Miami candidly admitted. Moreover, in the realm of podcasting, where genuine and engaging conversations are the heartbeat of the medium, a lack of connection is a pivotal factor. Yung Miami’s honesty showcased the importance of authentic interactions, even in the glitzy world of celebrity interviews.

Yung Miami Didn’t Hesitate On Her Answer

Furthermore, the revelation sheds light on the challenges of hosting a podcast and the nuances involved in creating meaningful content. It’s not merely about having famous guests but ensuring a genuine rapport that resonates with the audience. Her choice to exclude Blac Chyna from future Caresha Please episodes reflects her commitment to providing her listeners with content that feels personal. And resonates! However, while Blac Chyna’s episode certainly received less engagement than the time when Ari Fletcher came on, they still delved into juicy topics.

Moreover, in the world of podcasts, the magic happens in unscripted moments and spontaneous conversations. Miami’s revelation serves as a reminder that even in the glittering world of fame, some connections are just not meant to be. As Caresha Please continues to navigate the exciting landscape of celebrity interviews, audiences can expect more unfiltered moments that add depth and authenticity to the podcasting experience.

Did JT & Lil Uzi Vert Break Up?

October 31, 2023 by newhiphopnews

A few weeks ago, Lil Uzi Vert told fans that the third installment of their Luv Is Rage mixtape series is on the way, noting that “I only drop Luv Is Rage when my heart is hurting. It’s about that time.” Although the Philly rapper declined to elaborate, it looks like the reason for the aforementioned pain might be a breakup with their longtime girlfriend JT of City Girls. According to Hot97, the two rappers had unfollowed each other on Instagram, citing a gossip account with screenshots of Uzi venting on their Story.

Lil Uzi and JT have reportedly called it quits https://t.co/gVyKw4PP4S

— HOT 97 (@HOT97) October 31, 2023

In the posts, Uzi wrote, “Im not as close to my family as I should be. My relationship isn’t in the best shape. I JUST WANNA BREATHE… I’ve been distant from everyone lately, even if they are standing right next to me.” While neither has confirmed a breakup — and this isn’t the first time such a rumor has surfaced — the evidence for such a conclusion is certainly mounting.

The two rappers had been dating ever since 2021 when JT said Uzi gave her $30,000 on their first date. Later that year, Uzi reportedly rented out an amusement park for JT’s 29th birthday.

However, things seemed rocky earlier this year, when JT threw her phone at Uzi during the BET Awards. While some fans and gossip outlets speculated that she was angry at him for allegedly flirting with Ice Spice, who was seated near them. Meanwhile, JT herself told The Breakfast Club she was actually irritated because Uzi gave her seat to ASAP Bari, who refused to get up.

Lil Uzi Vert is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Is City Girls’ JT Changing Her Rap Name?

October 31, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Miami rap duo City Girls has a new album out, but that isn’t stopping one of the group’s members from considering a name change to help her solo career out. JT recently admitted that her rap name is a little less than ideal from a search optimization standpoint after a fan on Twitter noted that efforts to get her name trending were futile since it’s just two letters. “I think I should change my rap name but to what?” she asked her followers.

I think I should change my rap name but to what? https://t.co/7celuOJEc3

— JT (@ThegirlJT) October 28, 2023

Does this mean the rapper is officially changing her name?

Well, it wouldn’t be unprecedented for her to do so. In 2021, another rising rap star, Latto, changed her name after receiving some backlash over her prior nom de guerre. At the time, she explained why following through on those plans can be complicated with big implications for a career already in motion. “I want [my fans] to also understand that the name change at this level in your career is a big decision,” she said. “Freaking investors, labels, everything has been riding on this name, so it is a big decision.”

Also in 2021, Yung Baby Tate shortened her own name to just Baby Tate, which is admittedly a little catchier. Should JT decide to change her name, it’ll mean updating a lot of contracts and online info, but her fans’ responses suggest that at least a new one could still be recognizable; options suggested included “Jay Tea,” “The Girl JT” (based on her Twitter handle), or even just “Jatavia” — a strategy that has worked for her partner Yung Miami, whose talk show Caresha Please uses her real first name.

Asian Doll Disses JT For Switching Up On Nicki Minaj

October 30, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Recently, following the release of the new City Girls album JT has been busy. One thing fans started to take notice of is how often she brought up Nicki Minaj. Though it was all love when Nicki did come up, that hasn’t always been the case. That resulted in fans hitting her with allegations of clout chasing and switching up. Her defense wasn’t exactly rock solid when she went online and claimed that anyone else would do the same given her circumstances.

Now, Asian Doll is tapping in and taking a direct shot at the City Girl. “You b*tches should’ve show genuine love years ago but instead you dissed… so yes you look like a d*ck riding b*tch we all see it” Asian Doll tweeted in response. In the comments, fans reacted to the beef with mixed takes. “Asian if you mad Nicki put her on the song and not you, then just say that,” one of the top responses reads. But others had the opposite interpretation. “I agree with Asian on this one ! Every interview she bringing up Nicki . We get it ,,, y’all friends,” another top comment reads. Check out the full post and variety of fan reactions below.

This isn’t the only shade JT has caught recently. Earlier this week, she expanded on an incident that happened at the BET Awards earlier this year. What resulted was a viral fight with Lil Uzi that included a thrown phone. While many speculated that it had something to do with Ice Spice, everyone involved denied that.

But now, A$AP Bari is raising his voice on the situation. He was also there and took to Instagram to claim that JT is lying and that Ice Spice actually was involved in the situation. What do you think of Asian Doll’s response to JT over her bringing up Nicki Minaj in interviews? Let us know in the comment section below.
