Nicki Minaj & Kenny Mason Bring Bangers To Our New “Fire Emoji” Playlist Update

by

It looks like our Fire Emoji playlist is going to end off on a great and bombastic note, because this week brought us a lot of great rap releases. Moreover, this new update complies the very best of these for your listening pleasure, and leading the way is none other than Nicki Minaj. Her new album Pink Friday 2 is finally here after years of waiting, and fans have a lot of material to sink their teeth into. Perhaps that’s the best compliment we can give this project: the sheer versatility, range of skill, and different appeals on display are a treat to see. For specific highlights, check out the boisterous “Big Difference,” “Let Me Calm Down” with J. Cole, and “Needle” with Drake.

Furthermore, we also had Kenny Mason give us a couple of new tracks this week with Highway 9. Of the three songs within it, our Fire Emoji playlist chose the mellow and moody guitar-led “FACTS” as a woozy and atmospheric standout. You’ll find another dreamy soundscape on “Airplane Tickets,” the new song from Pharrell Williams, Swae Lee, and Rauw Alejandro. However, it’s a very different kind of atmosphere than Mason’s set of influences, swapping out trap patterns for a dancehall vibe with summery synth pads and keys.

HNHH Fire Emoji Playlist: Stream

Another staple of Fire Emoji is the hardened, unrelenting, and emphatic lyrical banger, and Benny The Butcher is here this week to satisfy. The Stove God Cooks-assisted “One Foot In” contains intricate rhyme schemes, vivid pictures of rags turning to riches, and an unsurprisingly infectious sense of charisma, determination, and success. Speaking of great verses, Lyrical Lemonade tapped Jack Harlow and Dave for their new collaboration “Stop Giving Me Advice,” which has some compelling thematic focuses on the adversities of acclaim. Both MCs suit the old-school beat quite well, refusing to slow down their flows for their heady bars.

Rounding out our update is the drum-and-bass banger “leavemealone” from Fred again… and Baby Keem, which should absolutely soundtrack your next night out. Finally, Southside and Lil Yachty teamed up for “Gimme The Lite,” which is one of the latter’s most straightforward but aggressive trap performances of the year. Let us know in the comments what your favorite release of these was, and also what else we missed. Also, check out our Fire Emoji playlist above and come back to HNHH for more great music releases around the clock.

Kenny Mason Drops An “Insane” Vibe With New Single

by

Kenny Mason’s talent is still bubbling even though he has been in the game for about seven years now. The genre-bending crooner and rapper is not one to drop a ton of music at a time but he seems to come back at the perfect time. His most recent release of any kind dates back to June 6 with a short and concise project.

The Atlanta, Georgia native came through with an all-killer and no-filler album, 6. It featured tracks like “RICH,” and “DRACULA,” while also featuring Project Pat and Tony Shhnow. Since then, Kenny has remained silent up until now. Unfortunately for people who like streaming, this new single is not on those platforms yet. You can check it out on YouTube with the link below.

Listen To “Insane” By Kenny Mason

His latest track is called “Insane,” and it features production from COUPE. It is a two-minute song that sees Kenny going into his more melodic side. Overall, it is a solid vibe and that is okay. However, it is really nothing more than that. Because of this, there is a chance it might stay within YouTube circles.

What are your initial thoughts on this brand-new single from Kenny Mason, “Insane?” Is this Kenny’s best single of the year so far? Where does he rank amongst the rest of the genre-bending rappers in the current field? 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 breaking news around Kenny Mason. Furthermore, stay with us for all of the best song drops throughout the week.

Quotable Lyrics:

Too turnt my dilate my eyes lit on
Freak h*e we trying s***
Hoping you tear my heart up
In the end it’ll making me smarter

Denzel Curry And Kenny Mason Aren’t ‘Sked’ On Their New Collab

by

Denzel Curry continues to come through with the heat. Today (September 15), Curry has dropped his new single, — a collab with Kenny Mason called “Sked.”

The song’s title is a pronunciation of the word “scared,” and Curry makes it known that he’s not afraid of any opps. But rather, they’re the ones who should be on alert.

“I said what I said, b*tch, you sked, b*tch, you sked / I don’t go to sleep without a Glock by my bed / I don’t say no names ’cause them boys might be the feds / I’m about my family, God, business and my bread / And I said what I said, b*tch, you sked, b*tch, you sked,” raps Curry on his verse.

Mason then pops in, reiterating the message, making it known that he’s not here for any funny business.

“Gimme the loot, shoot, bullets at enemy troops / I got more arms than a centipede but he still’ll get beat like he sendin’ me loops,” raps Mason.

In the song’s accompanying video, Curry becomes a work of art through colorful animations. The video is about a minute shorter than the actual song, and Mason and his verse are absent from the video.

You can see the video for “Sked” above.

Kenny Mason Refines His Grunge-Adjacent Sound On “RUFFS”

by

Kenny Mason stands out from the pack. The West Atlanta native made a strong impression with the release of his 2020 debut album, Hoodrat Angelic. In the window of time since the album dropped, he unleashed some excellent guest appearances and loose singles that rattled through speakers across the country.

Today, he unveiled his new mixtape, RUFFS. The grunge-rap sound that he introduced is more refined, as are his lyrical talents on the project.

RUFFS is 16 songs in total with Mason holding down the majority of the project. Still, he gets assistance from Coupe and James Kang, who earned co-production credits on several songs.

The list of features on the project includes Young Nudy, Jean Dawson, Amindi, and Davidthetragic.
