Denzel Curry Drops Complete “KING OF THE MISCHIEVOUS SOUTH” Album

by

Denzel Curry has been chipping away at the KING OF THE MISCHIEVOUS SOUTH title for quite a while. He dropped a mixtape with the title in 2012, then an album in 2024. It still wasn’t enough. Curry opted to record a few bonus tracks, rearrange the tracklist, and drop the complete version of the album on Friday. It was well worth the wait. KING OF THE MISCHIEVOUS SOUTH encompasses every facet of the Denzel Curry experience. It showcases the rapper’s aggression, his commercial sensibility, and his consistently stellar lyricism at every turn.

It’s not easy to make a lyrical album that knocks, but Denzel Curry does that exact thing here. The rapper pays homage to the Waka Flocka Flame hit “Hard In da Paint” with “STILL IN THE PAINT.” He adds to the blistering instrumental, and trades bars with the likes of LAZER DIM 700 and Bktherula. It’s an obvious tip of the cap to the music Denzel Curry grew up listening to, and he manages to put a fresh spin on it. The other bonus tracks features less notable samples, but they are of equal quality. “ANOTHA LATE NIGHT” is a nocturnal meditation on sex and love. “P.O.P.,” meanwhile, is a smooth riding anthem with additional bars from Sauce Walka and Key Nyata. It might be the best song on here, even if it’s subtleness will lead to it being buried.

Let us know what you think of this brand new album, in the comments section down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will continue to keep you informed on all of your favorite artists and their upcoming projects.

Cordae Reveals Incredible Guest Features For “Crossroads” Album

by

Cordae is not messing around. The rapper has a solid resume thanks to albums like The Lost Boy and From a Bird’s Eye View, but he seems poised for a breakthrough. He’s been dropping some of his best music to date in 2024 in preparation for his upcoming album, Crossroads. The rapper has been hard at work on the album since 2022, which is set to be a direct sequel to From a Bird’s Eye View. It’s been a long wait, but Cordae has finally dropped the tracklist and guest features for Crossroads. And one look proves this thing will be worth the wait.

Crossroads boasts 16 tracks, which will make it his longest album to date. The rapper has hinted at a nostalgic theme running through the album, based on buzz singles like “Summer Drop” and “Saturday Mornings.” Both of these songs are present on the tracklist, and boast stunner guest appearances from Anderson .Paak and Lil Wayne. The latter has heaped praise upon Cordae in the past, and been cited as one of Cordae’s biggest influences. As a result, Weezy will also be featured on the song “Back on the Road.”

Cordae Will Collab With Idols Like Weezy And Ye

Cordae tapped some of his generational peers for Crossroads. Jordan Ward and Ravyn Lenae both appear on the song “Don’t Walk Away,” which is poised to be an R&B stunner given the talent on hand. Joey Badass will also drop by for inevitable bar-fest that will be “Syrup Sandwiches.” The rest of the album, however, will feature rappers that Cordae grew up listening to. In addition to two Weezy guest spots, Crossroads will boast appearances from Juicy J and Kanye West. Juicy J will drop by for “Neva Seen It,” while West is set to rap on “No Bad News.”

Cordae has never worked with Kanye West before. He has, however, praised West several times in the past. Cordae rapped over West’s 2005 classic “Gone” during a viral concert clip in 2021. He also cited the Chicago rapper as his “biggest musical influence” during a 2022 interview with All the Smoke. He’s worked with Juicy J, however, appearing on the veteran emcee’s 2024 album Ravenite Social Club. We can’t wait to hear what Cordae has in mind for these collabs.

Liam Payne’s Death Leads To Tributes From Juicy J, Ty Dolla Sign And More

by

Liam Payne is gone, and fans around the world are stunned. The former One Direction singer was only 31 years old, and still in the midst of releasing new music. The circumstances surrounding Payne’s untimely death are still being sorted out. TMZ reported that the singer fell from the third floor of his hotel room in Argentina. The outlet also alleges that he was acting erratically in the lobby, and had to be carried to his room shortly before his fatal fall. Regardless of the circumstances, the music world has been mourning Liam Payne’s death.

Juicy J, who collaborated with Liam Payne on the 2016 single “You,” tweeted his condolences. “R.I.P. Liam Payne,” he wrote. “Wow I can’t believe it prayers up for the family.” A similarly heartbroken thought was shared by Flavor Flav, who was shocked to learn the singer had died at such a young age. “R.I.P. to Liam Payne,” the Public Enemy rapper tweeted. “Much too young.” Payne was the One Direction singer who leaned into R&B and hip hop the most throughout his solo career. His debut solo single, “Strip That Down,” featured a snappy instrumental and a guest verse from Quavo.

Ty Dolla Sign Spoke To Liam Payne Days Before His Death

Liam Payne also worked with artists like A Boogie Wit da Hoodie, J Balvin and Zedd throughout his solo career. One artist he did not get a chance to collab with, however, was Ty Dolla Sign. Despite this missed opportunity, Ty revealed that he had spoken to Payne a few days before his death. “Just talked to you 2 days ago my guy,” the R&B singer wrote. “Ima miss u frfr.” Ty Dolla Sign also posted a video of Payne on his Instagram Stories. Zedd, who appeared on Liam Payne’s only solo album, LP1, celebrated the singer for his musical legacy. “R.I.P. Liam,” he wrote. “I can’t believe this is real. Absolutely heartbreaking.”

Liam Payne admitted hesitation to break away from the pop-rock of One Direction in his own music. He told Entertainment Weekly that he loved hip hop music, though, and cited Migos and Lil Uzi Vert as some of his favorite artists. “I listen to a lot of rap music,” he asserted. “It’s important to do something that you want to do, but you can’t forget your fan base, you can’t forget your roots.” Payne’s aforementioned song with Quavo was a top 10 Billboard smash in 2017, so fans didn’t seem to mind.

Juicy J Claims He Makes Money From 90% Of New Songs Due To Samples

by

Juicy J has been making music since 1987. He is a legend in the game, and his work with Three 6 Mafia continues to have an impact on the current wave of artists. There’s no ASAP Mob without Three 6, nor is there dozens of Southern acts who grew up listening to them. Juicy J reflected on his impressive legacy during a Spring Hill interview with Wiz Khalifa. If the rapper is to be taken at his word, his impact on music is even more substantial than we realized. Juicy J claimed that he makes money off a whopping 90% of new rap songs.

The whole thing came about from a simple question. Wiz Khalifa asked Juicy if he keeps tabs on the new wave of artists. The latter confirmed that he did, but not for the reasons one would expect. Juicy J knows who’s popping and who’s not because he gets tons of sample clearance requests on a daily basis. “I feel like the new trends is the old trends,” he explained. “Everybody’s sampling Three 6 Mafia, so I’m already in.” Juicy J went on to estimate that he gets 5-6 sample clearance requests a day from younger artists.

Juicy J Claims To Clear 5-6 Sample Requests A Day

“On some real sh*t,” he told Wiz Khalifa. “5 to 6 samples a day. I get paid off of pretty much every song. Like 90% of the songs that’s out right now.” Juicy J made it clear that he wants younger artists to sample his music and build on his style. “It’s a blessing,” he asserted. “I love when people sample… I just keep doing what I’ve been doing.” This isn’t the first time Juicy J had shown love to artists who continue to pay homage to Three 6 Mafia. The rapper hopped on Twitter in 2023 to express how grateful he was to still be considered a relevant musical force.

“Peace & love to Three6Mafia,” he wrote. “Great to witness our Music still going strong like it never left. People across the world sampling & remaking the songs we are grateful thank you All.” Juicy J is dead on when he noted that his style still sounds fresh today. The rapper just dropped a new solo album, Ravelite Social Club, and it’s one of his best to date. Juicy pushes his sound into a smoother, jazzy area, and it led to some absolute standout moments.

Juicy J Makes A Left Turn With Jazzy New Album “Ravenite Social Club”

by

Juicy J is a legend. He’s not, however, known for his versatility. He stays trippy, and has stayed trippy for most of his career. He makes hard-hitting Memphis anthems, whether he’s solo or with Three 6 Mafia. It is a feature and not a bug. That said, Juicy J threw us for a loop with his new album. Ravenite Social Club is as sophisticated and slick as its title and artwork would lead you to believe. The opening track, with its dramatic soul arrangements and sound effects, perfectly sets the stage. This is an expensive sounding album, and Juicy J is more than up to the task of matching the production behind the mic.

We start off a little bumpy with the second song, “The Higher Up’s.” The “corporate America” refrain is a genuinely bad hook, and the rest of the song isn’t good enough to overcome this formative flaw. Juicy J ventures into social commentary elsewhere on Ravenite Social Club, but it goes over much better on a song like “Don’t Go Out.” The highlights, though, tend to be the ones that blend the retro aesthetic with Juicy J’s melodic flows. “Everything All Good” and “Suicide Doors” are stone cold stunners, between the production and nimble wordplay that belies the rapper’s age. The latter is bolstered by a standout guest verse from Cordae. Ravenite Social Club could probably be a little bit shorter, but overall, it proves to be one of J’s best solo releases.

Juicy J & Xavier Wulf Craft A Consistent & Fun Trap Record With “Memphis Zoo”

by

“The album itself is SUPER fun. It’s the signature Juicy J style, and Xavier Wulf fits very well into the mix. Short, fun and consistent, that’s what a Juicy J album should be”. That was one review left on Album Of The Year talking about the newest Juicy J project, Memphis Zoo. As the user says, this is a joint effort with the influential voice and Xavier Wulf. The latter is from Memphis as well, but even though he has been in the game for at least a decade, these two are quite unfamiliar with one another. In fact, Juicy J and Xavier Wulf did not collaborate as a duo until the former’s 2023 tape, Mental Trillness. You can hear them together on “No Man”.

After seeing their potential together, Juicy grabbed Xavier again for a couple of cuts of the aforementioned tape’s sequel earlier this year. “On The Way” and “All It Takes” are the two joints to revisit. Now, on Memphis Zoo, their relationship is fully realized, and we share the same sentiment as the reviewer above. While Juicy J is undoubtedly a pillar of Southern hip-hop, he can be limited in terms of his approach to a track.

Where he is truly great is when he creates punchy and short tracks and Memphis Zoo excels in that area. Adding in Xavier Wulf further helps this project succeed, because while the beats do slap, they are all fairly similar. So, having that extra voice with a different cadence breaks up what could have been an even more monotonous listen. Overall, Juicy J and Wulf have a solid record and we recommend you give it a spin.

Juicy J Comes Out Of Nowhere To Drop Off New LP “Mental Trillness 2”

by

When you think of Memphis, Tennessee hip-hop legends, Juicy J is almost always going to be one of the first names to come to mind. It makes sense because there may not be a more influential voice in that corner of rap than him. He may not be at the peak of his powers to some, but you can always rely on him to deliver some rock-solid tracks, even in the “twilight” of his career. In fact, Juicy J is doing just that on this latest record, Mental Trillness 2.

This is a follow-up to the original title, which hit streaming platforms back at the end of March in 2023. It is also the first project for Juicy J since then. The “Bandz A Make Her Dance” MC tapped a few features for Mental Trillness 2. Those names include the equally energetic Sukihana, as well as Xavier Wulf, idontknowjeffery, and Project Pat.

Listen To Mental Trillness 2 By Juicy J

Across this tape, Juicy J brings his trademark style, which is one of street grit, braggadocio, and raunchiness. One of the best moments in our opinion is the opening cut “Serenity.” Juicy usually does not rap over calming instrumentals, but this angelic track is definitely a highlight. Overall, this is a solid outing from the veteran, and we can now check off one out seven albums to drop in 2024.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new album Mental Trillness 2 by Juicy J? Which songs are you gravitating toward the most right now? Who had the strongest feature on the tape? Is this one of his best projects of his career, why or why not? Do you prefer the sequel over the original? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Juicy J. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

Atlanta, Georgia, has been the dominating hub of rap music for well over a decade now, but the region’s run began long before that. Rico Wade laid the groundwork for the South as part of the pioneering production team Organized Noize and Dungeon Family collective.

Sadly, the mastermind behind the sounds of OutKast, Goodie Mob, and Killer Mike, to name a few, has died at the age of 52. Today (April 13), a representative of the late musician reached out to AllHipHop to confirm the tragic news.

Several media titans and entertainers have taken to their official social media pages to share a touching message in Wade’s honor. One of the most moving came from Killer Mike.

“I don’t have the words to express my deep and profound sense of loss,” he wrote on Instagram. I am praying for your wife, children, the Wade family, and us all. I deeply appreciate your acceptance into the Dungeon family, mentorship, friendship, and brotherhood. I don’t know where I would be without y’all.”

Others who have shared their condolences online include Phonte, Juicy J, Ebro Darden, Arrested Development’s Speech, and Alchemist. View their statements below.

Details surrounding Rico Wade’s death have not yet been revealed.

Teezo Touchdown Has Six Legs And An Angelic Voice In The ‘First Night’ Video With Denzel Curry, Juicy J, Cochise, And Lil B

by

On January 26, Cole Bennett shepherded All Is Yellow, his first-ever Lyrical Lemonade compilation album, into the world. Bennett promised a video would accompany each of the album’s 14 tracks, and the prolific director is keeping his word by slowly releasing them from the vault, including “Fly Away” in February and “Doomsday 2” earlier this month. On Wednesday, March 20, the Bennett-directed video for “First Night” with Teezo Touchdown, Juicy J, Cochise, Denzel Curry, and Lil B arrived.

As has become customary with Lyrical Lemonade videos, the “First Night” video begins with an all-yellow curtain as the backdrop. A stretched-out Teezo sits in front of it — with six legs sprawled in front of him — as he sings, “Come and let me teach you how to sing / Oh, you didn’t know that I could sing? Oh, girl, you know that I can sing The whole world know that I can sing.” Teezo ends the first verse with a request: “Somebody help me sing about me.”

That cues a trap beat to drop and Juicy J to emerge from behind a yellow curtain. Similarly to Teezo, Juicy J has cartoonishly humongous hands. Eventually, Cochise and Curry join Juicy J in the empty movie theater — spitting shameless, whiplash-inducing bars about no-strings sex and money.

In the serene outro, Lil B plays devil’s advocate: You know, one-night stands are alright / But love is the greatest / Having sex on the first night is cool / But we could wait / It’s so much love in this world / Take your time, ask questions first, let’s talk / It’s so much respect in the air / Don’t worry about it / But you could f*ck, too, if you want / But don’t feel like you got to.”

Lil B disappears behind the yellow curtain as Teezo Touchdown restarts his intro.

Exclusive: Juicy J Didn’t Know Cardi B Was On “Jealousy” When He Cleared The Sample

by
Juicy J

What Juicy say? STFU! 

Juicy J is the founding member of Hip-Hop group Three 6 Mafia, positioning himself to be one of the most influential rappers of all-time. Hailing from the streets of Memphis to now an Oscar winning, Grammy-winning, multi-Platinum selling recording artist and producer, real name Jordan Houston III deserves all his flowers.

Now, Juicy J is excited as ever to be unveiling his new book titled Chronicles of The Juice Man, written in collaboration with Soren Baker. Serving as his memoir, the book not only sees Juicy J telling his life story, but unveils a much more vulnerable side that fans have yet to see thus far. Topics his struggles with poverty, substance abuse, addiction, mental health, and more.

The Source had the pleasure of speaking with Juicy J at his book signing at Barnes & Noble at The Grove in Los Angeles. Read below as we discuss the book that changed his life, mental health, the moment he fell in love with Hip-Hop, favorite Gucci Mane song, meeting Cardi B, best memory with Gangsta Boo, and more!

Chronicles of The Juice Man, how excited are you?

I’m so excited. I’m so blessed man, this is a dream come true.

Is your hand okay? Those were a lot of autographs.

Yeah, I’m good. Some people just grabbed so hard like, “Hey!” I’m like whoa, slow down. [laughs] I’m cool though. This is the fun stuff. Creating this music, promoting it is the hard stuff. This stuff: meeting the fans, hugging people and hearing about the stories, they talk about the music, it’s the fun stuff.

Do you have a memorable fan encounter from today?

Oh yeah, many of them. One of the guys came through and said he had broke his back. While he was in surgery, he was listening to Three 6 Mafia. He said it healed him. Wow, that’s dope.

How’s it feel for the book to sell out in an hour? 

Damn, I’m shocked. Ain’t gon’ lie, I’m about to bust out in tears. Like really? Hell nah. I’m just so happy. I’ve been doing this for so long. People are really coming and still supporting them, that’s big. I’ve been doing this stuff for over 30 years. It’s amazing.

I got to read a few pages of the book. Was it difficult being so vulnerable with your life story?

Oh no, I just wanted to let it out. Like fuck it.

What surprised you most about writing the book?

I ain’t gon’ say it surprised me. When I was writing the book, my mom got diagnosed with cancer. So really, I was in a lot of pain as I was writing this book.

What impact did that have on your creativity? Did it change anything about the book for you?

No, it didn’t change anything. I just kept going in, because I know she would want me to keep on going. Keep moving. Because when she was alive, I was telling her about the book. She’s like “Oh, that’s gonna be great. I can’t wait to read it.” She’s reading it now in heaven.

Are there any books that changed your life or perspective?

There’s this book about Stax Records. That’s the book I read when I was a youngster coming up. It taught me a lot about how to market my music. This guy named Al Bell that was running Stax, he had a great marketing plan. I read that marketing plan over and over again in that book, and I use it for my own artists. And now me and Paul’s company, Hypnotize Minds.

Is that the cheat code to musicians trying to make it?

Well, it depends where you get your inspiration from. Some people get their inspiration from drug dealers, different kinds of people or whatever. But my inspiration came from Al Bell, the guy that ran Stax Records.

You discuss mental health and substance abuse in your book, what’s the #1 advice you have for someone struggling with addiction?

Get some help, quick. Whatever you got going on in your life, get some help. They got the hotline 988, reached out to our organization. Immediately, because you never know man. With those episodes we have in our life of that mental. I said mental to me mental health kind of comes and goes you can get depressed and happy one day he said, you just don’t want to just get to get into a situation where you just be just go deep into depression. So get some help soon.

What effect did poverty have on your mental health as a child?

It made me a hustler, didn’t want to be broke. Not so much as that, a lot of different things. Me growing up in the hood, I seen police officers beat the hell out of a guy who’s bloody in the street. People getting shot, it messed me up. It traumatized me a little too. But look, it made me stronger. I’m still here today because I overcame a lot of obstacles in my life.

I interviewed Jeezy who said writing his book was therapy for him. I would assume that’s the same for you?

Yes, mos def. Telling him my story. Hopefully somebody out there I can reach, and learn something from this. Get inspired from it.

What are some things you practice daily for self-care?

I pray. I try to tell myself that nothing’s promised. That keeps me moving forward.

Hip-Hop celebrates 50 years this year. What was the moment you fell in love with Hip-Hop?

In the early 80’s, I heard this group called Sugarhill Gang and I was blown away after that. I said I gotta be a rapper!

Favorite Gucci Mane song?

What’s that song he got on YouTube? Him and Mike Will. Mike Will did the beat. He’s outside rapping on the corner with his shirt off. Can’t remember the song, but Waka Flocka’s on there. It’s a classic video. They’re standing on the block, just out there. It looked like they’d been drinking or selling drugs, it was so raw. Gucci Mane just started rapping. I used to listen to a lot of Gucci Mane. 2007, 2008, 2009, I was heavy Gucci Mane.

How was it meeting Cardi B? 

It was awesome. Cardi B is a real one. Cardi B is a realistic person. She’s down-to-earth. She’s cool as fuck. She even promoted my book. She didn’t have to do that. I was like wow, thank you Cardi. I appreciate that. She’s a real one man. Hopefully one day, me and Cardi can make some music.

I heard the sample in “Jealousy”!

Oh that was dope! They sampled that, I’m like oh shit. When I cleared the sample, I didn’t hear her vocals on there. I didn’t know she was going to be on there until I heard the song. I’m like oh shit! Cardi B’s on this motherfucker.

We were excited when you got that request?

Oh yes. I always get excited when I get a sample request. Cha-ching.

What moves you more: producing or rapping?

I will say producing. That was always really my first love. When I first started DJing, I was going to be a DJ. When I first started DJing, I wanted to be a producer first. 

Lola was a good friend of mine. Do you have a fondest memory with her?

Yes, a lot of them. But the main memory I have with Lola, rest in peace, was the last conversation we had. I talk about it in my book. It was a very spiritual, deep conversation. We laughed about a lot of old times and everything. She was talking about my mom, discussing her death. That was the most wonderful time I had with Gangsta Boo man, rest in peace.

How much is 10K Projects offering you?

We still in the talks on that. We’ll have to see man. I don’t know how things are gonna go. I’m gonna keep that on the low, but we’re still in talks.
