JasonMartin And DJ Quik Make Magic On New Album “CHUPACABRA”

JasonMartin and DJ Quik are as Cali as it gets. They may come from different generations, but they shared a love for G-funk and smooth, feel-good music to play in the car. It doesn’t hurt that Quik is a literal G-funk pioneer. A good match on paper doesn’t always meet the results live up to the hype, but JasonMartin and DJ Quik arguably surpass expectations. They create an album that feels familiar and smooth, while at the same time distinct from their solo material. CHUPACABRA might be one of the top West Coast albums of 2024.

Part of the reason CHUPACABRA is so listenable is the musicality. The music is funky, unpredictable, and more experimental than one might expect. “CHUPA’S GROOVE” is a perfect example. It’s an instrumental passage with a bubbly bassline from Thundercat. It transcends rap conventions, yet feels right at home next to verses from Larry June and Bun B. The latter sounds excellent over the synth-heavy “Since I Was Lil.” There are too many guest verses to sift through here, but rest assured that everybody brings their A-game on CHUPACABRA. Ab-Soul is head-spinningly cool on “SOUL CIRCUS”, and CeeLo brings the grit of a classic soul sample on “DITTO.” Try to find a flaw on CHUPACABRA, and you’ll be looking for a long time.

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.

Larry June Floats On New Single “Dreams”

Larry June is an artist you can always go to for the lowkey summer night cuts that make you want to roll up and chill. What is even better is that he always has those kinds of tracks in the vault to release at the perfect time. Today is one of those days, as Larry June is back with a wavy and vibey single, “Dreams”. This is the California multi-hyphenate’s latest release of 2024, and it follows up on a song from less than a month ago. That May 7 offering was “Meet Me In Napa”, which heard him croon over a minimal beat.

Then, just a month before that, Larry June put out “Imported Couches”, which featured another measured performance. It is clear that the veteran is aiming for a certain aesthetic going forward this year. This consistent approach to these songs, including “Dreams”, could mean that a new album is in the works. The timing certainly makes sense, as Mr. June is not one to lay back and not drop an album for an extended period.

2023 was another example of that, as he came through with two projects in an eight-month span. The first of which, The Great Escape, was collaboration with the equally prolific Uncle Al, aka The Alchemist. Fast forward from March 31, 2023, to November 10, 2023, we would receive The Night Shift. That was also a dual effort, as a new producer and frequent collaborator, Cardo, would enter the studio. Features included Blxst, Jordan Ward, Too $hort, and more. You can check out the hazy “Dreams” with the music video link above.

What are your thoughts on “Dreams” by Larry June? Is this one of his better songs as of late, why or why not? Do you think he is working on another new album? What is the best aspect of this track and why? Is Larry one of the best from California right now? Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Larry June.

This past weekend, the first day of Black Music Month was celebrated by the San Francisco Giants by honoring the legendary Wu Tang Clan with “Wu Tang Night”. The Giants were joined by Bay Area artist Larry June and Wu Tang co-founder and producer the RZA, who participated in a ceremonial jersey swap before the game.

The San Fran artist and the Abbott displayed a moment of unity and respect from the West Coast to the East Coast, with June putting on RZA’s yankees jersey while the founding member of the Clan donned June’s Giants jersey.

Below, you can check out the sit down the RZA had with YES Networks’ own Meredith Marakovits, where he discusses his history as a Yankees fan, his Mets vs. Yankees household growing up and his favorite Yankee, “Mr. October”, Reggie Jackson.

The Yanks beat the Giants Saturday night 7-3, maintaining their top spot in the AL East while San Fran is still fighting to keep their third slot in the NationaL League West standings

9th Wonder Teases Upcoming Collab Album With Larry June

9th Wonder knows how to get the best out of rappers. He codified the sound of Little Brother in the 2000s, before going on to make classic joint albums with the likes of Talib Kweli, Skyzoo and Murs. His sample chops are less eccentric than, say, Madlib, but he displays unparalleled talent when it comes to bringing out the soulfulness of his collaborators on record. This is what makes the prospect of a 9th and Larry June tape so exciting.

9th Wonder was fielding questions from fans on May 20, when one fan noted how good a collaboration with Larry June would sound. “We need a @9thwonder and @LarryJuneTFM project,” they tweeted. 9th responded to the fan by letting him know that the process of making the project were already underway. “I’ve sent him beats,” 9th Wonder tweeted back. “About a 20 piece.” This would be an exciting change for the producer, given that he’s worked with the same few artists for most of the 2020s.

9th Wonder Recently Sent Larry June A Beats Pack

He linked up with Terrace Martin, Robert Glasper and Kamasi Washington for the acclaimed Dinner Party album in 2020. He also produced multiple projects for The Musalini and Hus KingPin. 9th linking up with Larry June would be a distinct shift, given how June’s relaxed flow contrasts with the aggression of both Musalini and Hus. June, meanwhile, has been on an excellent run of joint albums with iconic producers. He worked with Cardo, Alchemist and Harry Fraud among countless others.

As he told Complex, though, he wants to continue to change up his instrumental palate. “I’ve worked with a lot of producers that have big presences like that,” he noted. The attention to detail makes sense, given that June started off as a producer himself.

“I like to create a sound that I can always come back to,” June added. “If you listen to my catalogue, you will hear different pockets on different tapes. Because I’m bringing my world into their world because it’s a collaborative project.” The rapper likened the process to cooking. “It’s just one rapper, one producer, so it’s like we’re creating a pasta.” Hopefully we will get the 9th Wonder and Larry June pasta soon.

Larry June Drops Luxury Bars On Lush New Single “Imported Couches”

Larry June knows how to create a relaxed vibe. He’s built a career on rapping over smooth, chilled-out instrumentals indebted to old school R&B. “Imported Couches,” June’s latest, is another prime example. The Bay Area emcee waxes poetic over a funky guitar loop, bragging about his expensive lifestyle while downplaying those who want to connect for clout. In other words, exactly what you want to hear from him.

“Imported Couches” comes complete with a music video in which June is sitting on, you guessed, an imported couch. “I’m just chilling on this imported couch getting blazed,” he asserts. The rapper could not look more relaxed as he lounges in a lavish Bay Area pad with intercutting footage of the surrounding area. In case there was any confusion as to where he was located, June name drops the North Bay city Petaluma. “Imported Couches” functions as an unofficial sequel to “Expensive Couches” from June’s 2020 collab album with Harry Fraud, Keep Going. Both tracks feature retro sounds and an emphasis on pricey furniture. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

You asking for a lot but you ain’t got nothing to offer
B***h do you clean, do you cook, do you swallow?
Cuse all I really see is an Instagram model

Roc Marciano & Larry June Provide Chilling Performances On “Bad JuJu”

Roc Marciano and Larry June are two of the underground hip-hop kings and have been for quite some time. So, what happens when you combine their respective talents, along with one of the greatest producers of all time, The Alchemist? Well, you get a bone-chilling and well-written track with eerie, top-notch production. Those qualities are how we would describe “Bad JuJu” by Roc Marciano and Larry June. Considering how their styles effortlessly mix together on this record, you would think these two would have tons of previous work as a duo. However, the opposite is quite true here.

“Bad JuJu” is only Roc and June’s third ever offering. Hearing them again on one track for the first time since 2022’s “Maybe The Next Time” makes us wonder why we do not have more team-ups. By the way, the latter can be found on Jay Worthy, Larry, and LNDN DRGS record, 2 P’z In A Pod. “Bad JuJu” lands on Roc’s recently released Marciology.

As we mentioned, The Alchemist produced this track. But this is not the only song he had a hand in. In fact, Uncle Al, Animoss, and Marciano all contributed beats to this concise, 14-song LP. Leading up to the drop date, the Long Island, New York native teased the project with “Gold Crossbow.” Be sure to check “Bad JuJu” with the audio link above.

Joe Blow And Larry June Drop Chill And Soul-Filled Track “Without You”

The state of California has been producing a lot of great albums from hip-hop artists in 2023. One of those that has just come out recently was Joe Blow’s Generational Trauma. It might get more buzz early next year, due to its late release. He hails from Oakland and has been keeping a steady career ever since the early 1980s. However, he has slipped through the cracks for HNHH. Our first time covering him was for this new project.

He might not be the most well-known MC from the West Coast, but that is no slight. Joe has had to deal with artists like Kendrick Lamar, YG, Snoop Dogg and so many others taking the spotlight. If you have not listened to any of his material he is great at crafting gangsta rap and laid-back cuts. One of the songs to put your ears to is “Without You.”

The feature list for this 13-song tracklist is filled to the brim with talent. One of them who finds their way here is Larry June. He and Blow do a great job matching the energy. The beat is very lowkey and soulful, especially with the vocal sample. Larry is also known for this style so it was a match made in heaven at the end of the day.

What are your initial thoughts on this brand-new song, “Without You,” by Joe Blow and Larry June? Is this the best track from Generational Trauma, why or why not? Does Larry have the best guest appearance on the album? Where does this project rank amongst the rest of Joe’s discography? Did Larry have one of the best productive years of his career in 2023?
