Mariah The Scientist Reposts Critique Of Pitchfork Calling Andre 3000’s Album “Rap”

November 20, 2023 by newhiphopnews

André 3000’s new album New Blue Sun couldn’t be farther from a rap album in most people’s eyes- or ears, rather. Moreover, many folks took issue with Pitchfork‘s review of it- not because of the score (8.3, Best New Music), but because of the categorization. Instead of “New Age,” “Jazz,” “Ambient,” or other appropriate genres that describe the flute-heavy, fully instrumental project, the publication put it under the “Rap/Experimental” genre. Mariah The Scientist agrees with this criticism, as she reposted a tweet on it on her Instagram Story on Monday (November 20).

“André 300 did NOTHING but play the FLUTE and they STILL labeled it a RAP album,” the tweet in question reads. “Do we not see the problem with this?” However, before we get ahead of ourselves, there’s a legitimate reason for this categorization that might calm Mariah The Scientist down. Pitchfork designed their content management system (CMS) that they use to publish work and organize it in the “backend” so that the genre of an album ties to the principal genre of its artist. As such, since they have the Outkast member as mostly a rap and experimental artist, they couldn’t change the genre to reflect New Blue Sun‘s direction.

So, with that in mind, maybe you understand the music media icons a little bit more. But the criticism itself is very valid and applicable to other people’s discussions around the project. In fact, it’s something that the 26-year-old has addressed about her own music. “I put music out, and it’s automatically supposed to be R&B?” Mariah The Scientist asked Complex during a video interview.

“Anybody that sings and is Black, or they think you Black… they, like, put you in this category of ‘She makes R&B music,’” she continued. “But if Lana Del Rey is singing about heartbreak, why [do they categorize] her album as alternative? But I put music out, and it’s automatically R&B? What if it’s neither of those? I told somebody that I wanted to make a new genre and I wanted to call it A&B for alternative and blues. I don’t know if it will happen, but if I did have to categorize myself, it would be that.” For more news and the latest updates on Mariah The Scientist and André 3000, log back into HNHH.

Mariah The Scientist Album Review: A Love Letter To Young Thug

November 1, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Mariah The Scientist is one of the artists where once you hit play, you can’t stop listening.

The singer-songwriter exploded onto the scene with her Lil Baby-assisted “Always n Forever,” who’s official music video boasts over 18 million views and counting. But it’s actually not her most streamed song on Spotify. “Spread Thin” reigns high, with “2 You” and “Only Human” coming in hot as fan favorites.

Now, Mariah The Scientist unveils her highly-anticipated new album titled To Be Eaten Alive, which she deems her best music yet. Clocking in at ten tracks, the new project features standout features from Young Thug, 21 Savage, and Vory. It also serves as her first project since 2021’s Ry Ry World.

While Mariah has been making music for some years now, she also admits that this wasn’t a dream she had since she was a kid. It’s actually something “she fell into,” proceeding to state that she doesn’t even consider herself a singer.

Fans of Mariah might be surprised to see she’s finally opening up and doing interviews (thanks to the project), showcasing her personality a little more than what we’ve seen. On the opening track, “Heaven is a Place on Earth,” Mariah revealed she actually produced the song herself — as a result of being bored during quarantine.

Moving into the second song, “Good Times,” we start to hear Mariah’s romantic side. Contrary to previous releases, she’s starting to bask in her current relationship with Young Thug, who has been locked up since May of 2022. Mariah goes on record saying she talks to Thug every day, all day. And that jail calls were expensive!

This leads us to the next song: “From A Woman.” This was Mariah’s rendition of Young Thug’s “From A Man,” which released just two weeks prior.

“40 Days n 40 Nights” was refreshing to hear, pairing Mariah’s smooth and buttery vocals with Vory’s. Vory first gained recognition after appearing on songs with Meek Mill. Then we get into the uptempo “Out of Luck” produced by Kaytranada, showcasing her ability to create and mesh with different producers and creatives.

Mariah also went on record about how she sees herself as an A&B artist, Alternative & Blues versus R&B. You can hear these influences in the new project, which may or may not be inspired by the bond her and Thug has shared since he was locked up. “Bout Mine” sees her crooning: “Baby, I got nothin’ but time. We finna make this right ‘Cause you know I don’t, I bet you know I don’t play about mine.”

“77 Degrees” boasts a feature from one of her favorite artists, fellow Atlanta artist 21 Savage. This song tells the story of a female in love with a gangster and the reality of what comes with love. Leading into “Different Pages,” my personal favorite. Being in a relationship takes work from both parties, and sometimes you have to agree to disagree.

The last two tracks reveal the love letter to her bae, Jeffrey Williams. “Lovesick” sees Mariah singing at the top of her lungs, presumably fueled by this new energy between the lovebirds. But with Young Thug actually appearing on the closing track, “Ride,” Mariah reminds audiences all around the world that there is that special someone out there for you.

Regardless of all the trials and tribulations, true love will always prevail. This was also a great follow-up track to “Walked In” featuring Thug on Ry Ry World, which was the start of their love story (at least to the public’s eyes).

All in all, To Be Eaten Alive is no skips. And we’re rooting for Mariah and Thug!

Mariah The Scientist Says Jail Solidified Her Relationship With Young Thug

October 30, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Mariah the Scientist is revealing that her relationship with her incarcerated fiancé Young Thug is stronger since he has been locked up in Cobb County. Young Thug was arrested on gang-related RICO charges in May 2022.

“I think in the beginning I was so sensitive about it. I was so emotional, I was crying all the time,” she said during an appearance on the Way Up With Angela Yee podcast. “It was like you can’t be crying when you got a man in jail because it’s going to make him sad. So you can’t be acting like that.”

The up and coming R&B singer said she visits Thugga in the Cobb County Jail once a week and they speak daily on the phone.

“It’s almost like jail solidified our relationship,” Mariah The Scientist told Angela Yee. “I’m willing to wait it out because I feel like he’s the one. If I didn’t really see that in him, I probably wouldn’t.”

Young Thug and Mariah the Scientist began dating in 2021. He previously got engaged to his on-again, off-again girlfriend Jerrika Karlae in 2015. They split for good in December 2020. The 32-year-old Atlanta rapper currently has six children by four women.

Mariah, 26, recently released her single, “From A Woman”, as a cover to Thugga’s track “From A Man.”

October 27, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Mariah The Scientist challenges the confines of music genres, especially her classification as an “R&B” artist.

Mariah The Scientist Brings On Young Thug, 21 Savage And More For “To Be Eaten Alive”

October 27, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Atlanta, Georgia singer and songwriter, Mariah the Scientist is in a relationship with Young Thug. However, R&B fans know there is more than just that to her. She is an extremely talented and gifted voice in the space. She is proving that once again on her third project, To Be Eaten Alive. Believe it or not, the rollout for this project began almost a year ago to the day. The first single “Bout Mine,” perfectly showcases the artist’s range.

After that though, it would be quite a while before the next taster. The next track from Mariah, “From A Woman,” features more minimal production, leaving space for her higher and lower register. Then, just a couple of days prior, she put out one more song, “Different Pages.” This year-long wait brings us to a 10-song effort at just under 28 minutes.

Listen To To Be Eaten Alive From Mariah The Scientist

Mariah the Scientist recruits a handful of features to break up the sound of the record. The first look at a guest appearance lands on “40 Days n 40 Nights” with someone who has been getting more and more notoriety. After landing on Kanye West’s Donda, everyone is grabbing Vory for a feature. It is for good reason though, because he shines again. 21 Savage does his thing to match the vibe of the record. To wrap things up, Mariah’s man, Young Thug helps her close it out on “Ride.”

Mariah The Scientist’s “From A Woman” Energizes Our “R&B Season” Playlist Update

October 15, 2023 by newhiphopnews

October’s starting to get chillier by the day, and what better way to heat yourself up than with our steamy R&B Season playlist update? Moreover, we complied the very best of the best new soulful releases of the week for your listening pleasure. Leading the pack is Mariah The Scientist’s new single “From A Woman,” which also got a companion piece from her boo, Young Thug. Of course, it’s quite the slow burn, with watery synths, soothing but understated vocals, and a steady and tension-building trap-inspired rhythm. Still, eventually she belts out and reaches for those higher notes with ease, and it’s a heartening and loyalty-based track.

Futhermore, the submerged and atmospheric tendencies of this R&B Season playlist update continue with each addition. Next up is Chxrry22 and Vory’s “Never Had This,” which is a little more menacing and slightly heavy than the previous cut in comparison. However, since both singers lean into the drama and into the fast-flowing thought processes on this cut, they share a lot of chemistry here. Most importantly, though, it creates an engaging contrast that doesn’t drain the track of its life or energy, which is a feat with a slower soundscape.

HNHH R&B Season Playlist: Stream

Another R&B Season highlight this week came courtesy of Layton Greene, whose gorgeous tone captures the spotlight on her new single “Something.” Even thought it’s the main draw of the song, this instrumental actually picks things up a little bit tempo and energy-wise on our playlist rotation. It’s a little more playfully lustful, and the extra percs and deep bass hits give it a stronger first-listen impact. In addition to all that, it might just be the catchiest main melody on this entire roster of new R&B releases this week.

Meanwhile, we have two more tracks to go through, both of which are pretty big collaborations. Bryson Tiller assisted Sy Ari Da Kid on “Priorities,” which is an ambient, low-key, but nonetheless vocally impressive song. Finally, the track “311!” not only evokes Diana Ross’ “I’m Coming Out” quite tastefully, but the jazzy and tender song is quite the posse cut. Gallant, sneek, Terrace Martin, Robert Glasper, and Keyon Harrold crafted quite the beautiful song to end this off. Let us know what your favorite release of the week was and what we missed down in the comments below. Check out our R&B Season playlist above and come back to HNHH for more great music each week.

Here’s What We Know About Young Thug & Mariah The Scientist’s Relationship

October 13, 2023 by newhiphopnews

In May 2022, Young Thug and Gunna were among 28 YSL members arrested and “charged in a 56-count indictment,” including “charges of conspiring to violate the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act, murder, armed robbery, participation in criminal street gang activity” (as reported by Micheal Seiden at the time).

Young Thug was denied bond yet again in July, and the YSL RICO case is ongoing, but none of that has gotten in the way of Thug’s relationship with Mariah The Scientist. In January 2022, Mariah The Scientist self-directed her “Walked In” video featuring Young Thug, and it oozed lust. In the video, Mariah walks into a strip club already occupied by Gunna and Thug. “Took you long enough to express interest, but it’s a good thing you did,” she sings, and next thing we know, we’re at their wedding in a living room (Gunna serves as best man).

Fast forward to August 2023: Mariah addressed the state of their relationship before performing “Walked In” at Outside Lands. “You know I got a man,” she told the crowd. “He locked up. Free my baby daddy! When I say ‘free,’ you say ‘Thug.’” Days later, Mariah acknowledged Young Thug’s 32nd birthday by posting a photo to her Instagram Story of his “kids standing in front of a billboard that featured him” (as per Rap-Up).

Fast forward (again) to this week. On Monday (October 9), TMZ asked Mariah The Scientist, “Do people think you should break up with Young Thug?” Mariah responded, “They probably do, but I don’t give a f*ck. But, no, I love him, and I won’t be doing that. We’re great. We’re great.” Come Thursday (October 12), Mariah and Young Thug provided evidence as to how “great” they’re doing by teasing complementary singles: Thug’s “From A Man” and Mariah’s “From A Woman.”

As per Fader, Mariah The Scientist doubled down on her unwavering commitment in a statement released alongside “From A Woman,” saying, “[Jeffery] is someone who supports and respects my vision wholeheartedly. There is a true balance in my femininity and his masculinity. He’s the yang to my yin in every way.”

The videos for “From A Man” and “From A Woman” arrived on Friday (October 13). Watch them below.

Gunna and Young Thug are Warner Music artists. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Young Thug’s Confident ‘From A Man’ Is A Response To Mariah The Scientist’s Passionate ‘From A Woman’

October 13, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Young Thug remains imprisoned during his and YSL’s ongoing Racketeer Influenced And Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) case, but it appears not even the most dire of circumstances can damper his love for Mariah The Scientist, who confirmed her relationship with Thug at Outside Lands in August by saying, “You know I got a man. He locked up. Free my baby daddy! When I say ‘free,’ you say ‘Thug’” (as captured by HipHopDX).

On Thursday (October 12), Mariah and Thug each posted an Instagram tease for their respective singles that are clearly interconnected. First, Young Thug announced “From A Man” with the single’s cover art, showing a man — makes sense, given the title — wearing black dress shoes with white socks. Around the same time, Mariah The Scientist unveiled her “From A Woman” cover art that features a woman wearing red high heels and tights. Both songs arrived at midnight.

The bouncy “From A Man” finds Young Thug, semi-fresh off his Business Is Business album, flexing his self-esteem (“If I ain’t one of the greats, then tell me who it is”) despite what he’s facing (“I done turned to a felon, I done stacked me some cheddar / I done turned my profits up, now I gotta perform at Coachella”), and peppers in some bars presumably about Mariah (“Real love inside me, got me comin’ home nightly / I fell in love with your thongs most likely / A real redbone tryna come wife me”).

Meanwhile, Mariah The Scientist’s “From A Woman” is a romantic slow jam in every sense. Her unwavering to Thug is evident in her sultry vocal delivery and lines like, “Won’t call you Slime ’cause it don’t fit / I see you as more than this / I bought dreams not to mention / You pay me back and then some.”

Listen to “From A Man” and “From A Woman” below.
