Kodak Black Claims To Be Drake’s Favorite Rapper

December 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

In a new Instagram Live video, Kodak Black was recorded saying that he was told that he is Drake’s favorite rapper. The clip shows an intoxicated Black pacing around part of his house. He says something about Drake saying he was his favorite rapper, and the rest of his statement is largely unintelligible. An Instagram commenter deciphered Black’s statement as him being surprised that Kendrick Lamar beat Drake to featuring him on a song. Kodak Black appears repeatedly on Lamar’s Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers.

Kodak Black and Drake have never done a song together. Drake worked with some of Black’s contemporaries, including 21 Savage, Lil Yachty, and Blocboy JB, but never with Black himself. Based on how Kodak Black appears in this video, it is unlikely that the two will get in the studio together anytime soon.

Fans in the comment section pointed to Kodak Black’s intoxicated state. Black has appeared in several places recently and has not been doing well. The rapper has been honest about his struggles with drug addiction throughout much of his career. This year, he fell back off the wagon, admitting to relapsing and saying he’s “never sober.” He appeared on Kai Cenat’s stream in November, looking visibly out of it. Wallo and Gillie of the Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast had a heart-to-heart with Black. They urged him to cut the yes men out of his life and clean up so he could be a capable and present father to his young children.

Kodak Black recently released Trill Bill, his latest mixtape. It is evident that he was not sober during the recording of the project, as he slurs his words frequently. He generally sounds less “there” than he’s been on previous albums. Hopefully, Black finds some genuine support so that he can get sober, as he looked very unwell in this latest video. Maybe he’ll get his Drake feature then.

Kodak Black Has His “Trill Bill” Fan-Favorite With “News Matt”

December 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kodak Black’s new mixtape Trill Bill hit streaming platforms over the weekend, and frankly, it’s been a nice surprise. For us, the hitmaker can be hit or miss sometimes, with not all of his records being the most consistent. However, in keeping this project to just 11 tracks, there was very little margin for error. After listening to it a few times over the last couple of days, we can say that Kodak took his time with this one.

Tracks like the opener, “Cherish The Moment,” the risk that is “Dirty Revolver,” and “Burn It Up,” are ones that we have taken a liking to. Now, we are adding the second cut “News Matt” to that growing list. It hears Kodak addressing his haters and people that have turned their backs on him. It’s empowering, real, and relatable, which is why it’s become the fan favorite so far. At the time of writing, the music video for “News Matt” has over 506,000 views on YouTube. That equates to it being number 18 on trending for music on the platform. See what all the hype is about with the link below.

“News Matt” – Kodak Black

Quotable Lyrics:

Hey, homie insecure, gotta treat me like a jit to feel like a man
Damn, I’m f***ed up in the head
I was chasing after friends, I damn near ran through all the bread
I forgave you a little bit, but I can’t forget all the s*** you said
It made me think, “What else you gotta say that you ain’t sayin’?”
Like anything I ask you, acting deaf like you want me to beg

Kodak Black Challenges Himself On “Trill Bill Standout “Dirty Revolver”

December 1, 2024 by newhiphopnews

A special shout out goes to AnotherWav, one of the producers on Kodak Black’s new mixtape, Trill Bill. The beat he gives the Pompano Beach, Florida rapper is quite unique. That’s thanks to the piano melodies, sometimes static qualities, and woozy sound effects. But to be honest, Kodak Black makes it seem like light work, as he manages to find a pocket just seconds into the two-minute track. On top of his flows, there are some straight up comedic and sticky sets of lines. You can tell he was having putting this one together and just letting the instrumental take him wherever he felt was right.

“The womb, I’m a motherf***in’ goon / Hey, pop that boy balloon, pew and zoom / Fredo in the dune, you beef with me, your doom / Flippa finna be zoom, he comin’ home in June / Thuggin’ every June, ain’t no lovey-dovey do.” These are just a few of the memorable portions, with one another being below, too. However, this is just one of many surprising and fun moments on Kodak’s new record. The first leg of the 11-song tape is especially strong with tracks like the opener, “Cherish The Moment,” the subsequent “News Matt,” among others. If you haven’t been a fan of his lately, or just in general, we think you should still give Trill Bill a try.

“Dirty Revolver” – Kodak Black

Quotable Lyrics:

And if health really wealth, motherf***er, I’m healthy
N****, Dr. Sebi, Sebi
Yeah, little mix b**** with the hazel eyes
I’m like, “Can I get your number?” Her friends said, “Can he?”
She said, “You Haitian and a Gemini, boy
I already know you trouble, but LOL, text me”

Kodak Black Encourages His Foes To “Cherish The Moment”

November 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kodak Black is sending a fair warning on one of his new songs, “Cherish The Moment.” “Boy, if I want your soul, better give it / ‘Fore your family keep ending up missin’.” This is just one of them, as he sounds menacing with his deliberate flows over a piano-backed trap beat. Bars like the one we just mentioned feed into his theme of being committed to the streets and taking names. “Now that I got me a switch
Ain’t finna leave the hood ’cause I got rich / I told ’em, “Bury me right in the ditch” / I’m just gone keep investin’ in this s***.”

Speaking of these lines in particular, Kodak experiments with a unique cadence that’s hard to explain in crystal clear terms. How we would describe it is that he sounds confused and is asking, “what did I do?” It’s just another reason why Kodak is still so unique years deep into his career. He really will try anything, even if every risk doesn’t fully pan out. But this one does, and it gives “Cherish The Moment” even more replay ability and some character. This is one of 10 new songs in the Project Baby’s discography, and they all come on his third overall project, Trill Bill. Check it out with the link below.

“Cherish The Moment” – Kodak Black

Quotable Lyrics:

All of the opps got they name on a bullet
I’m on my bullet, and I’m givin’ out whoopin’
B**** ain’t got nothing to offer but p**sy
Thinking ’bout offing her when she ain’t lookin’
Boy, I’m a vulture, these n****s be wolfin’
Take a look at my eyes, now you s***ting

Kodak Black Wants To “Burn It Up” On Latest Album Cut

November 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kodak Black’s latest mixtape Trill Bill was released on Friday. The tape is typical Kodak Black, with themes of money, drugs, sex, and violence. But, it is over surprisingly calm, almost cloudy, mid-tempo production. One example of this is “Burn It Up,” one of the better tracks from Kodak’s new tape. The beat, produced by Ryan Prieur, is understated. It sounds like something that would be at home on a Cash Cobain project. In that regard, it does not sound like something that Kodak Black would normally do. But lyrically, it is another straightforward effort for the controversial Florida rapper. His trademark flexing and street raps are once again joined together on another track.

Kodak Black sounds energized (as energized as he can be, at least) on the track, with the hook’s repetition of “turn it up” and “burn a n***a up” being quite catchy. The verse is witty, with “all black can’t see nothing, so they say it was Darth Vader” being a standout line. At barely two and a half minutes, the track does not overstay its welcome, and it’s a solid performance from Kodak. Of course, Kodak Black is a prolific artist, so not everything he releases in a given year sticks, but this could be a track that does. Check out “Burn It Up” below and give Trill Bill a shot if you have positive thoughts on what you heard here.

Quotable Lyrics:

Jump out if he run
I won’t chase him got lasers
All black can’t see nothing so they say it was Darth Vader
That lil b***h crazy if she think I’m finna pay her
Way before lil baby I told Jayda to wait up
Running through that money splurging, don’t see no purpose to save up

Kodak Black Delivers Latest Mixtape “Trill Bill”

November 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Florida rapper Kodak Black is back with a new mixtape, Trill Bill. It’s his third release of the year, following his self-titled album Dieuson Octave and The Last Zombies on Earth, a compilation project featuring artists signed to the Vulture Love record label. Kodak has had a rough several years, with mounting legal problems stemming from multiple arrests, though then-president Donald Trump commuted one of his sentences towards the end of his first term. He has continued to drop music frequently in the interim, coming out with at least one new project every year since 2020.

Trill Bill follows a new trend for Kodak Black in that it is a much shorter release than much of his earlier work. Clocking in at 11 tracks and barely over a half hour in runtime, it is, if nothing else, a quick listen. Kodak rhymes over mid-tempo production with plenty of 808s to go around. The beats are spacy, often feeling like something a New York drill rapper might go over. It is not what one might expect from Kodak Black, especially if you remember his earlier hits. It’s a change of pace for the Florida rapper. Lyrically, it’s in line with his previous work. He knows what his fans look for out of his music and rarely deviates. It’s worked for him, as he is now ten years into his hip-hop journey with a loyal base behind him. Kodak Black’s music might not be for everyone, but it is still worth giving Trill Bill a chance. Stream the new mixtape from Kodak below.

Kodak Black – Trill Bill

Trill Bill tracklist:

Cherish The Moment
News Matt
Dirty Revolver
Cyber Truck
Mayhem
Burn It Up
Land In Hell
Maybach Van (feat. TTO K.T.)
Heartfelt
One Piece Left
Escalade (feat. Taylor So Made)

Kodak Black Continues His Lengthy “Versatile” Song Series And Announces New Mixtape

November 27, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kodak Black is unconscious! The Pompano Beach, Florida native is already prepping another mixtape, according to his Instagram page and a press release. It’s going to be out this Friday, which he’s hilariously dubbing it “BLACK FRIDAY,” and it’s going to be called TRILL BILL. The project, which is based on one of his nicknames, Kutthroat Bill, will be his third overall tape of 2024. The year began for him with his label’s debut mixtape, Vulture Love Presents: The Last Zombies on Earth. Then, just a few weeks ago, he would deliver his first solo effort, Dieuson Octave, which is titled after his government name. In conjunction with this exciting news, fans are being treated to a Thanksgiving Eve single, “Versatile 4.”

If that song title sound familiar, that’s because this a long-running series within his discography. For those who don’t know, this all began back in 2017 on his Project Baby 2: All Grown Up LP. These tracks are undoubtedly some of the longest in his career, with the first one clocking in at just under seven minutes. The second would land on the deluxe of that aforementioned project and is a whopping 9:42 long. Then, the third would drop about three years ago, coming in at a more listenable 5:36. Overall, these tracks are to showcase Kodak Black’s ability to perform on an extended listen. Depending on how big of a fan you are of his, these might be for you. In that same breath, we can also see why some might overlook release from him like this. Regardless, check out “Versatile 4” with the link below.

Kodak Black Confirms Drug Use: ‘I’m Too Young to Die Sober’

November 20, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kodak Black's "Super Gremlin" Tops RapCaviar's Most Streamed Song List for First Half of 2022

Over the last few weeks, Kodak Black has demonstrated concerning behavior in regard to his sobriety. Hitting Instagram Live, Black revealed he is “never sober.”

“For what? For what? Look at this money. Look at all this cash,” Kodak said. “Sober for what? I’m too young to die sober.”

Kodak Black raised concerns following his appearance on Kai Cenat’s livestream early this week.

Kodak joined the famed streamer’s 30-day “Mafiathon” livestream, and his behavior immediately caught the attention of all who witnessed his behavior, which many observers described as “tweaking”, a description given to those who are visibly intoxicated or high.

The “Super Gremlin” rapper was sweating profusely and rambling while talking for a large portion of his appearance. At one point, Black even successfully lands a seal shot, where he threw a pill (presumably a Percocet) in the air and caught it in his mouth, which stunned Cenat, who questioned Kodak about what he’s just popped in his mouth. Kodak replied, “It was a glitch for the Twitch.”

Earlier this year, Kodak admitted on IG Live that he had a serious problem with Percocets, saying, “I remember a point in my life when I was chewing a lot of Percs. I’m proud of myself. I’ve never been this happy in my life. I don’t know where this came from, what the fuck going on.”

He added, “Before I just went to jail — I can talk about this because it’s my testimony, ain’t no shame in my shit — I was taking at least 100 Percs. My average was 40 Percocets… to the point where I look at this shit and be like, ‘What the fuck was wrong with me, bruh?’”

With an acute relapse visibly on the horizon, it’s safe to say that Kodak needs to get help before he faces the same fate of so many addicts, both unknown and famous, have faced since the beginning of the opioid crisis in this country almost a decade ago.

[WATCH] Kodak Black’s BM Claims His Daughter Is Afraid Of Him

November 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kodak Black has been in the news recently about his behavior on Kai Cenat’s “Mafiathon” livestream last week, but now, allegations are coming from a lot closer to home for Yak. Following the pill-popping debacle on Cenat’s show, the child of Black’s two-year-old daughter took to social media to speak about Yak’s family life, including the troubled relationship with his infant daughter.

Daijanae Ward, the mother of Black’s 2-year-old daughter Isabella who they call “Izzy”, took to social media to speak about the family dynamics between herself, Kodak and the daughter they share. After joking about her behavior, asking “where [she came] from”, Ward answered a question in her IG Live as to whether or not Yak feels the same about their daughter.

“He wouldn’t know ‘cause he don’t be around her,” Daijanae Ward said about Kodak’s relationship with Izzy. “He don’t know how the f**k my baby act, he don’t even know her.” Also, she insinuated that Isabella Kapri is afraid of the “Versatile” MC due to her actually seeing him being allegedly physically violent. “If he kept his hands to himself, she wouldn’t be so scared of him,” Ward added.

Ward claimed they started dating in 2017, whereas their daughter was born in 2022. In the Live, Ward also suggested that a paternity dispute had arisen, but insisted that the courts were arranging a DNA test.

Ray J And Amber Rose Pose In MAGA Hats After Trump Wins U.S. Election

November 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Ray J and Amber Rose occupy an odd pocket in hip hop culture. Both are significant figures dating back a decade plus. That said, neither have played a direct role role in music in recent years, and they become more known for their antics than their careers. Some could argue their antics have become their careers. This definitely seemed the case on November 6. Amber Rose posted a photo alongside Ray J on her IG Story. Harmless enough? Well, the photo was made a bit more controversial by the fact that both celebs were wearing Donald Trump’s MAGA hat.

The timing of the post was not accidental. Trump won his second term as President on November 6, and Amber Rose has been a vocal supporter throughout his campaign. She was more than happy to get Ray J in on the celebration. “Look who I ran into,” she wrote over the photo. Ray sporting a MAGA hat is a bit more surprising than Rose, but not by much. The entertainer has been linked to Trump several times over the years. Usually, on his own accord. Ray J went on Hollywood Unlocked in 2020 and declared that the future U.S. President is “the homie.” He told host Jason Lee that he could get in touch with Trump in the span of a few minutes.

Ray J Has Met With Donald Trump On Multiple Occasions

Ray J also met with Trump in 2022. The entertainer’s manager, David Weintraub, told People that Ray J and Trump spent the day at Mar-a-Lago golfing and talking about business ventures. “He just felt like it was a good time to talk about business and technology and Black empowerment,” Weintraub explained. “What he’s doing right now is he’s exploring options and creating relationships.” Ray J’s affiliation with Trump even led to a spat with fellow artist Kodak Black in 2023.

Ray went to the comment section on DJ Akademiks profile and claimed that Kodak acted disrespectfully when they both went to meet with Donald Trump. “I took him to Trump house and he did the most,” Ray J claimed. “They were not happy with the experience bc he had no guidance and respect. Let’s figure out how we can help this guy instead of watching him self destruct.” Wack 100 dismissed the claims that the Florida rapper misbehaved. Kodak Black himself, denied these allegations during his appearance on the Drink Champs podcast. Regardless, Ray J’s opinion of Trump is seemingly stronger than ever.
