Mozzy & Kalan.FrFr Meet Halfway With One Another On “Lucky Her”

by

While Mozzy and Kalan.FrFr are both from California, it still feels like two sonic worlds are colliding on LUCKY HER. This a first-time collaboration project between the Sacramento and Los Angeles natives, but they aren’t total strangers. They have popped up on two other tracks in the past, with the examples being Mozzy’s “Whole 100” and Kalan’s “No Love.” Ironically, each of those are 2021 releases, so it’s been three years since their last linkups. So, with all of that said, why does LUCKY HER come across as two different styles clashing? Well, Kalan is a more melodic talent. Although, he has shown that he can tap into more aggressive pockets. In fact, “Dice Game,” his most recent solo record is a sample you can look at.

But for the most part, he likes to bring more a wavy, summery, and low-key vibe when he’s on a cut. As for Mozzy, he’s more likely to drop a “Dice Game,” for example. So, do they mesh well for 10 tracks? For the most part, they do. But we will say Mozzy can sound a little out of his element, as his flows on songs like “EULOGY” and “EGGS IN THE MORNING” feel out of place delivery wise. He sticks to the themes no problem, but it’s how he comes across in these cases that throws the energy off. Still, there are some slaps like “SPEEDIN!” that we find enjoyable. Overall, they were able to sort of comprise and combine moody ballads with more banger-like beats. Check out LUCKY HER with the links below.

Kalan.FrFr Is Seeing Right Through His Competitions’ Facades On “Dice Game”

by

California rapper and crooner Kalan.FrFr is issuing a fair warning to those who think they big and bad. The PSA appears on his latest release, “Dice Game,” his first solo single since April’s “EVERYBODY.” If you remember that track made its way onto May EP, MAKE THE WEST GREAT AGAIN, which landed almost week after Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us.” We mention that fact because the West Coast was at the peak of its powers when that dropped, and Kalan dropped at the perfect time. Unfortunately, due it being just an EP, it didn’t have as much staying power as it could’ve had. There are some rumblings that he’s prepping a new album behind the scenes. So, we will just have to wait and see when that hits.

Maybe then he will get more people talking and we know he can do that. He’s very capable of dropping some heat and “Dice Game” is an example of that. The track has a dark and intimidating energy, which is fitting given its themes and lyrics. On it, Kalan.FrFr feels that too many people out there are faking how up they really are. “N****s too tough around the b****es, that’s weird s*** / N****s thinkin’ that they low-key plotting, but we hear s***,” he raps with vigor on his second verse. The beat is also a major highlight for us as it possesses that traditional West Coast bounce and trunk-knocking bass. This is Kalan in his more aggressive bag, which is one that we like hearing him approach. He can go off when he wants to, and “Dice Game” should be something that he runs with going forward.

Mozzy, Kalan.FrFr And Rob49 Turn Up The Heat With “BBL” Single

by

Mozzy and Kalan.FrFr are both wildly productive artists. They’ve dropped dozens of mixtapes and albums, as both solo artists and collaborators. They always have something in the works. It was only a matter of time before Mozzy and Kalan.FrFr team up on a full length album, and LUCKY HER is right around the corner. The collab album is due out December 20. We’ve yet to get a proper tracklist, but buzz single “BBL” gives us plenty of reasons to be excited for the whole thing.

“BBL” may seem like a riff on the recent trend of BBL surgeries, or the “BBL Drizzy” memes that sprung up during the peak of the Drake vs. Kendrick battle. Mozzy and Kalan.FrFr are using the acronym for an altogether different meaning, though. The duo are rapping about what “bad b*tches like,” and how they have no problem getting it for them. The instrumental is moody and nocturnal, evoking the Bay sound with a hint of the “sexy trap” that people have Cash Cobain have popularized. Rob49 comes in with a memorable guest verse. At the end of the day, though, it’s Mozzy and Kalan.FrFr’s show. We can’t wait for the album.

Let us know what you think of this brand-new track, 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.

Anycia & Kalan.FrFr Collab For The First Time On “Smoke You Out”

by

Anycia’s extremely lowkey and unbothered delivery has made her a standout and a name to watch out for. Bursting onto the scene in 2022 with a pair of singles, the Atlanta native really got to see growth in her reach heading into 2024. Her first major co-sign was fellow Georgia peach Latto on the single “BACK OUTSIDE.” It’s a braggadocious banger that still burns for us all these months later and it’s her biggest track to date. After a few more releases, she would go on to drop her debut project PRINCESS POP THAT. It’s essentially a longer version of that Latto collab, as she displays uber levels of confidence.

As we said, her delivery is big reason as to why she’s steadily rising up the ranks. However, there are times where it doesn’t always play in her favor. One of those instances unfortunately is on Anycia’s latest single, “SMOKE YOU OUT.” Sleepier flows in general are ones that tend to be the most hit or miss out there. 21 Savage sometimes suffers from that issue despite his superstar status. For Anycia, she gets a little more grace as she continues to build out her career. However, given how minimal the lyrics, there just isn’t enough oomph on her end. Kalan.FrFr provides the chorus, which sees him croon rather than spit. Overall, “SMOKE YOU OUT” is not Anycia’s best work in our opinion. But there are plenty of others out there that are.

Kalan.FrFr Assembles The West Coast Avengers For Stacked “Everybody (Remix)”

by

Kalan.FrFr was on a mission to MAKE THE WEST GREAT AGAIN in the first quarter of 2024. The eight-track project featured a handful of California’s most prominent figures, including Ty Dolla $ign and YG. However, he also called on acts from the Midwest like G Herbo to help his cause. Unfortunately, it’s a project that sort of came and went for us. But still it was nice to get something from Kalan during this resurrection of the West Coast. It’s been a big year for the entire region and business was especially booming in the spring/summer months. But Kalan.FrFr is making sure the success continues into the end of 2024 with the release of “EVERYBODY (Remix).”

This was initially a single for MAKE THE WEST GREAT AGAIN that was solely his. But for this remix, he’s merely playing organizer, as he’s limited to handling the chorus which is unchanged. When we mention organizer, it’s not just for three or four features. No, Kalan.FrFr called on 11(!) rappers from his area. Thanks to a press release, we have the scoop on everyone you will hear on this record. 310babii, OHGEESY, BlueBucksClan, John Mackk, and G Perico are the first half. Then, RJMrLA, Rucci, Heembeezy, CUZZOS, Wallie the Sensei, and CheffBoy round out the rest. So yes, it’s an ensemble performance to a tee and everyone’s bringing something to the table. Overall, it’s cool to see artists put these sorts of things together, and to get everyone pretty equal time is just as impressive. Check out the remix for Kalan’s “EVERYBODY” with the YouTube audio link below.

Wallie The Sensei Asks “Come Slide Wit Me” & Kalan.FrFr On “New” Single: Stream

by

Two Los Angeles MCs are holding it down on this bouncy and romantic single and brand-new video from Wallie The Sensei and Kalan.FrFr, “Come Slide Wit Me.” As you might expect, this is a West Coast-infused and summery cut about one’s ability to care for a partner, lust for them, provide, and just overall flex together throughout their lavish lives. The vocal melodies and flows are relatively simple, but there are some engaging speed-ups and extra production embellishments like strings, samples, and synth pads to flesh things out. Also, both vocalists share plenty of sung chemistry and are able to come across quite charismatically on the mic. They’ve both been pretty busy this year, with Wallie landing on G Perico’s G Slim’s Revenge back in April.

On the other hand, Kalan.FrFr just dropped his new project MAKE THE WEST GREAT AGAIN backed by hot tracks like “EVERYBODY.” If you’re a fan of that California swing, it’s a must-listen. It’s also pretty heartening to hear these two artists have some fun on a track together, as they haven’t had many link-ups together in the past. They both appeared on Rucci’s El Perro 2 a couple of years ago, so hopefully there are more chances. We should also mention that this song came out on SoundCloud three years ago, and we’re glad it’s finally widely accesible. Check “Come Slide Wit Me” out on your preferred streaming service and watch the music video below. Let us know what you thought of it in the comments section down there, where you’ll also find some notable lines. As always, stick around on HNHH for more rap drops around the clock.

Kalan.FrFr Vows To “MAKE THE WEST GREAT AGAIN” On Latest EP

by

You could argue that the West Coast hip-hop scene has been run by Kendrick Lamar for the better part of a decade. If not, it is undeniable that he has been taking over for the last several weeks. His diss tracks and verses have been playing all throughout the streets of California in particular. “Not Like Us,” his most recent diss and perhaps the Drake kill shot, has sort of become the anthem out West. With that in mind, artists of lower stature, such as Kalan.FrFr, really have to come through with some major heat.

Kalan.FrFr is looking to put on for his hometown, and the state at large, with a new EP called MAKE THE WEST GREAT AGAIN. The 29-year-old multi-hyphenate might not have the fan base of a K-Dot, but he certainly has the backing of a major label (Roc Nation), and the co-signs from plenty of big fish. Giving this new tape that West Coast street cred are fellow veterans YG, Ty Dolla $ign, as well as G Herbo and Spooky Jay. Kalan.FrFr is following up on a December 2023 EP, NOT HARD 2 UNDERSTAND, as well a 2022 LP, 222. Furthermore, leading up to MTWGA, the “Right Wit It” MC dropped one promo track, “EVERYBODY,” which called out all the gangs.

Listen To MAKE THE WEST GREAT AGAIN By Kalan.FrFr

So, how does Kalan.FrFr perform on this new EP? To be quite frank, it comes across as run of the mill West Coast fare. The track that managed to stand out to us was “NO MUNYON NO FUNYON” with G Herbo. The Chicago native brings an animated performance to break up the flow that Kalan brings, which is his trademark smooth flow. Additionally, Spooky Jay, has probably the most unique outing that will definitely grab your attention. But back to Kalan, he sort of recycles that formula across the rest of the tape. On top of that talking about the same topics (flexing and being around women), it gets even more redundant. The beats are passable and non-offensive, which is fine, but it just does not move the needle. Still, give the tape a chance with the links above.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new EP MAKE THE WEST GREAT AGAIN by Kalan.FrFr? What tracks have you been gravitating toward? Who had the strongest guest performance? Where do you rank this project amongst the rest of his discography? 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 Kalan.FrFr. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

MAKE THE WEST GREAT AGAIN Tracklist:

  2. CAN’T GET IN (JEALOUS)
  3. EVERYBODY
  4. COOL DOWN (feat. YG)
  5. SILHOUETTE (feat. Ty Dolla $ign)
  6. ANDFUK

Kalan.FrFr Embodies West Coast Hip-Hop On “EVERYBODY”

by

For about eight years or so, Los Angeles, California rapper Kalan.FrFr has been putting out signature vibes from the area. His usual chill and calm presence on the microphone is what makes him standout a little bit more from some of the higher energy MCs from the West Coast. His following is not as massive as some other artists from the area, but do not let that dictate whether or not you check out this new song or not.

Kalan.FrFr is back with a new single called “EVERYBODY” and it is out everywhere now. It is his first offering since early February’s “Ain’t No Fun,” and it also follows up his collaboration with 310babii on “stuck.” From what we know “EVERYBODY” and maybe also “Ain’t No Fun,” will be on an upcoming EP for Kalan.FrFr. For now, we have no word on a release date, or how many tracks will make the project.

Listen To “EVERYBODY” By Kalan.FrFr

“EVERYBODY” is a barebones record in terms of the lyrical content, but it brings that bouncy sound from the West we are accustomed to. Over a rumbling and chunky bassline provided by Bankroll Got It, Kalan brings simple song structure with an earworm of a chant. “Ayy, Bloods, Crips, h**s, pimps / Thugs, strippers, n****s, b****es / Everybody, everybody.” You can check out the track with the YouTube link above.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single “EVERYBODY” by Kalan.FrFr? Is this the best track that he has put out as of late, why or why not? Does this get you excited for the upcoming EP?

Diddy Honors His Pledge And Donates $1 Million To Howard University

by

Today (Oct. 20), Sean “Diddy” Combs returned to his alma mater, Howard University, to fulfill a remarkable promise. Moreover, this extraordinary act of philanthropy took place during the university’s annual Yardfest event, where the Howard community and fans alike gathered to celebrate and witness this significant moment. The acclaimed music mogul handed over a generous check of $1 million to Dr. Ben Vinson III, the president of Howard University.

Diddy’s visit to Howard University wasn’t just about a financial contribution; it was a reaffirmation of his unwavering commitment to the preservation of historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs). Subsequently, as a proud alumnus of Howard, he understands the transformative power of such institutions and the vital role they play in the lives of countless individuals. In addition to the substantial donation, Diddy also had more surprises up his sleeve. He took to the stage to perform some of his classic songs such as,”It’s All About the Benjamins,” “I Need a Girl (Pt. 1),” and “Act Bad.” Furthermore, he brought out special guests Kalan.FrFr and Jozzy to perform songs from his latest album The Love Album: Off the Grid.

However, Diddy gave a speech as well and expressed sentiment about the importance of HBCUs.

This donation to Howard is not just a financial contribution. It’s also a reaffirmation of our commitment to a cultural institution that has touched countless lives. It’s about ensuring that HBCUs continue to receive the support they rightfully deserve.”

Dr. Vinson, the president of Howard University, acknowledged the profound impact of Diddy’s contribution, saying, “This is such a tremendously meaningful gift to Howard University. And we are deeply grateful. Since his days here as a student, Sean Combs has always credited Howard for helping him become the groundbreaking entertainer and entrepreneur that he has become. His gift will have a profound impact on our students, paving the way for future leaders.” Diddy’s generous pledge and his commitment to HBCUs serve as a shining example of how influential individuals can give back to their communities and make a lasting difference in the lives of aspiring students.
