April 26, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Summer Smash 2024 in Chicago, Lyrical Lemonade’s star-studded music festival taking place on June 14, 15, and 16, is building up to be one of the biggest and best hip-hop lineups you’ll see this year. Leading the charge is Cactus Jack on Friday, with Travis Scott, Don Toliver, WondaGurl, Sheck Wes, SoFaygo, Chase B, and Luxury Tax uniting for the label’s first-ever collaborative performance. Playboi Carti will bring his show-stopping rage on Saturday, and for him and La Flame, this marks a rare and sole festival performance in North America for 2024 at press time. Last but certainly not least, Chief Keef will headline in his home city for the first time in a decade on Sunday, marking one of the biggest rap homecomings in recent memory.

Furthermore, tickets are already on sale on the Summer Smash website, which you can find linked here. You can also check out the full lineup below, which includes so many more amazing performers and artists over the three-day weekend. These include Big Sean, Destroy Lonely, Bktherula, BLP Kosher, Kodak Black, Lucki, BIA, Mick Jenkins, Paris Texas, Cash Cobain, TiaCorine, Denzey Curry, JID, Lil Yachty, Waka Flocka Flame, Anycia, BabyTron, Lil Gnar… the list goes on. Overall, if you’re a fan of any sort of rap music in 2024, you won’t want to miss this. Some of these headliners supposedly have projects on the way, so who knows what could happen…

Summer Smash 2024 Lineup

No matter what niche of the genre speaks to you the most, there’s at least something here to latch onto, and it also builds off of a lot of established hype this year for many of these MCs. Travis Scott, for example, just performed at the Mercedes-Benz showcase, and will likely bring even more of that luxurious and larger-than-life energy at Summer Smash. Playboi Carti seems no closer to dropping his new album, but the hype for it hasn’t died down one bit, either. As for Sosa, even though Chief Keef has delayed Almighty So 2 multiple times, he remains as beloved as ever and still fed fans with his DIRTY NACHOS tape.

Meanwhile, who are you (or would you be) most excited to see on this Summer Smash 2024 lineup? Are you looking forward to these artists’ next or current moves? Let us know all your takes about this blockbuster festival down in the comments section below.

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

March 21, 2024 by newhiphopnews

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.

Eminem’s Destructive ‘Doomsday 2’ Video Causes Cameo Chaos With Big Sean, Cordae, Denzel Curry, And More

March 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Lyrical Lemonade’s Cole Bennett has been on this interesting visual kick for the videos from the creative collective’s new album All Is Yellow. Black suits and yellow ties have adorned the performers, while locations have incorporated the titular color in the form of backgrounds, curtains, and pops of brightness amid greyscale filming.

In the video for Eminem’s “Doomsday 2,” Bennett even goes so far as to revisit the office building set from the first “Doomsday” video with Cordae and Juice WRLD. This time, though, the lyrical destruction has the office hallway in an even worse state than before, with ceiling panels falling out, exposed wires sparking, and bodies littering the walkway.

In addition to Eminem’s percussive performance, the video also features cameos from many of All Is Yellow‘s other stars, including Babytron, Big Sean, Cordae, Denzel Curry, JID, and Teezo Touchdown — all of whom you could argue take massive influence from Eminem as an artist. Even Swae Lee shows up.

A lot of jokes have been made about Eminem falling off in recent years, but if the “Doomsday 2” is anything to judge by, it looks like his respect among the younger generation is just as high as it’s ever been.

You can watch the “Doomsday 2” video above and check out All Is Yellow, out now via Def Jam, here.

Sheck Wes, JID, And Ski Mask The Slump God Claim Their Spots On The Rap Throne In Lyrical Lemonade’s New ‘Fly Away’ Video

February 22, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Cole Bennett continues to make good on his promise to drop a video for every song on the Lyrical Lemonade compilation album, All Is Yellow. Today (February 22), the prolific video director has shared the video for the album’s opening track, “Fly Away,” which features Sheck Wes, Ski Mask The Slump God, and JID.

In the song’s accompanying video, Ski Mask emerges from Lyrical Lemonade’s signature yellow curtain, sitting upon a yellow throne as he delivers his scorching verse.

The video then cuts to JID, who shines bright in a dark room, putting his lyrical ability and his star power on full display. The rappers are all seen in black suits and yellow ties throughout the visual.

In an interview with Paste, Bennett shared that for the All Is Yellow album, he wanted to tie the videos together using the yellow curtains and accessories.

“It’s gotten to the point where the audience’s eye has now been trained to see a black suit and a yellow tie, without any context beyond that, and know exactly what it means,” said Bennett. “And that’s super exciting to me, to be able to drive home a theme that far.”

ASAP Rocky Left Verse Off “Say Ya Grace,” Cole Bennett Shares As Fans Beg For Album

January 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

ASAP Rocky would’ve fit like a stylish, satin glove on the new Cole Bennett-directed Lyrical Lemonade album All Is Yellow. Alas, such potential is hard to materialize sometimes, and it turns out that he was actually among the stacked cast of features that were meant to appear on the project. However, it looks like things didn’t quite work out, which is understandable considering the New York rapper’s busy personal schedule. Amid fatherhood, legal trouble, and career moves outside of music, perhaps the cards didn’t fall right. Moreover, Bennett took to Twitter on Saturday (January 27) to reveal this information to fans.

“Rocky had a verse on Say Ya Grace originally,” the music video director and creative expressed. “Maybe the world will get to hear it one day.” Considering the sheer longevity of ASAP Rocky’s career -– and that of his ardent fanbase, which only seems to grow every day -– we wouldn’t be surprised if there’s enough hype around this to release the verse one day. Still, we can’t guess on when or how it will ever come out, and as many hardcore fans will remind you online if you bring this up, he has much more pressing musical matters to attend.

Furthermore, ASAP Rocky fans want him to release his long-awaited fourth studio album already. He’s been cooking it for years up until this point, so much so that we can’t even say for sure whether it will really be called Don’t Be D*mb, as he teased so long ago. Regardless, patience is the name of the game here, and all we can hope is that the A$AP Mob head honcho’s project is fantastic whenever it does arrive. But the longer it pushes back, more and more folks will tune out and forget, so the clock is ticking for a hyped drop.

Meanwhile, with his firearm assault case in mind, it’s unfortunate that factors like this clearly delayed this new album. However, there are much better reasons for Rakim Mayers to leave his craft behind for some time: his growing family. As such, we can’t really blame him, but if we were him, we’d prioritize solo work over features. Hopefully “Say Ya Grace” is an indicator that this is the path ASAP Rocky chose. Nevertheless, for more news and the latest updates on him, check back in with HNHH.

Lil Yachty & Chief Keef In “Say Ya Grace” Music Video From Lyrical Lemonade: Watch

January 26, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The new Lyrical Lemonade album All Is Yellow is finally out, and to name highlights off of it would be a much longer article than needed. Still, there is one track in particular that its team, artists, and fans seemed to take a liking to in particular: Chief Keef and Lil Yachty’s “Say Ya Grace.” Moreover, as expected from a creative like Cole Bennet, its visual treatment is pretty stunning from a technical standpoint, even if it’s not the flashiest of most complex presentation on paper. Some yellow tarps, filter effects, simple outfits, and cameos from Denzel Curry, G Herbo, and Big Sean make this a compelling package.

But all this is unsurprising if you’ve been following All Is Yellow‘s rollout, which contained no shortage of bangers as both singles and music videos. Take for example “Doomsday” with Juice WRLD and Cordae, which is a refreshing spin on old ideas in both lanes. For what it’s worth, Lil Yachty and Chief Keef still come through with a lot of charisma and personality in the video despite their simple set-up. Seeing MCs bring life to ad-libs and contrast their recording delivery is always a really fun part of visuals, and they don’t disappoint here.

Furthermore, while it’s Chief Keef’s only appearance on All Is Yellow, Lil Yachty also appears on the cut “Fallout” with Joey Bada$$ and Gus Dapperton. Back to “Say Ya Grace,” though, it’s a Sosa-produced cut that pairs an ethereal sample with icy drum patterns, and the two rappers provide all the energy necessary to take it over the top. Their vocal chemistry is potent here, and though we would’ve loved to hear more trade-offs, their matching tones are enough to satisfy. Hopefully it’s not the only collab that the two have in store.

Meanwhile, with other bangers like “Stop Giving Me Advice” from Dave and Jack Harlow, we’re excited to see how All Is Yellow ages throughout 2024. What did you think of the album and its accompanying visuals? Drop your thoughts in the comments section down below and check out the “Say Ya Grace” music video above. Also, as always, stick around on HNHH for the latest news and updates on Chief Keef, Lil Yachy, and Lyrical Lemonade.

Eminem Is Still Going After Benzino For Some Reason On ‘Doomsday Pt. 2’ With Lyrical Lemonade

January 26, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Eminem really wishes it was 2004. That’s the only reason I can think of why he’s still bothering with Benzino over 20 years later. Maybe he sees their old feud as a legendary, multi-generational saga like the Hatfields and McCoys, but it’s more like the plot of Grumpy Old Men. And it’s getting closer all the time (Em is now 51, while Benzino is 58), all while aging like the fish Max leaves in John’s car at the end. Spoilers for a 30-year-old movie, I guess.

Alas, here we are in 2024, with Eminem again dedicating several bars to his distaste for his age-old nemesis — arguably too many, although that’d be true of even one — on his new song “Doomsday Pt. 2” from Lyrical Lemonade’s new album All Is Yellow. “Now I got a riddle, one condition, you mustn’t laugh / What is the opposite of Benzino? A giraffe / Go at his neck,’ how the f*ck is that? How can I go at somethin’ he doesn’t have? / Arms so short he can’t even touch his hands / When they’re up above his head doin’ jumpin’ jacks.”

He goes on in this vein for another twelve bars (TWELVE!!), setting up an overly elaborate gay joke (booooo!) and a mildly witty reference to a 2023 Coi Leray interview where she was asked about collaborating with Eminem despite her dad.

Yes, Benzino lied about Michael Jackson praising him for dissing Eminem (sure, Ray) as recently as last April, but the only person still paying attention to that guy besides Coi is Eminem. Maybe just ignore him, Marshall, it’s not like either of you is getting anything out of this anymore. Today, we are all Coi Leray:

Rap beef is so washed and tired. Exhausting. Embarrassing. Just fucking over all corny as fuck.

— Coi (@coi_leray) January 26, 2024
