Duke Deuce Introduces Made Men Mafia To The Hip-Hop World With Debut LP “Tribe”

by

Crunk ain’t dead! Crunk ain’t dead! Duke Deuce is back with a new album, Tribe, but it’s not a solo project. This is the inaugural release for his new group, Made Men Mafia. This trio of Tennessee natives was founded by the crunk champion earlier this year, dropping their first single, “Get Nasty,” last month. Deuce has recruited Turnt LilThadd and Dubba G for this joint venture, and it looks to be another effort in keeping this Memphis subgenre alive. These three have been close behind the scenes for years, so we are sure they are excited to bring the vision to life this weekend.

According to a press release, there are some specifics that Duke Deuce and Made Men Mafia wanted to execute on Tribe. “The album, predominantly produced by Duke Deuce, fuses his iconic Memphis crunk with Dubba G’s trap elements and Turnt LilThadd’s high energy.” We definitely think that their goals were realized, as there really aren’t many misses. Even the slower tracks like “How We Live,” still present an engaging listen. But we also have to be transparent and say that the turnt tracks are what people are going to gravitate toward. Deuce doesn’t get enough for his producing chops, but there are some wavy and incredibly funky beats across the 12-song tracklist. Some examples include “Clickin,” which features some haunting keys and synth passages. “Stanga” is another one with its rumbling adlibs and piercing keys. In short, Tribe is a blast, and Deuce may have one of the most enticing new groups in rap right now.

Finesse2tymes Drops Raunchy Single “Pretty Ricky”

by

Finesse2tymes is going through it mentally as of late, but this “Pretty Ricky” track comes across his beacon of sunlight. It is sexually charged and loose, as he raps about finding a younger woman who claims she is “23”. However, he affirms that she is more mature for her age, and it is why she likes going for the more seasoned men out there. The Memphis, Tennessee rapper is totally down for this sort of arrangement and is willing to give her the world and have her be his queen. This track comes off the heels of several singles released by the prolific MC. Finesse2tymes began the year with the recently released B.G. of Hot Boys fame on “Gangsta Vybes (Ganagstafied)”. However, the big-time collaborations would continue right after that with the Rick Ross-assisted “Fat Boy”.

However, the big-time collaborations would continue right after that with the Rick Ross-assisted “Fat Boy”. He would restart his streak in March with a stretch of three solo singles. Those were “Thought It Was Over”, “Letter to the Devil”, and “Mixed Feelings”. Project wise, Finesse2tymes is still working with his most recent one being 90 Days Later, a March 2023 release. While nothing seems to be in the works officially, there is a good chance that a new album is on the horizon. But while fans wait to hear that news, Finesse is trying to launch a challenge in the meantime. The #PRETTYRICKYCHALLENGE is the rapper’s attempt at creating a viral dance trend, as the person with the best moves gets $1,000. Contestants have 24 hours to submit their entries and Finesse will be selecting his winner at noon on July 14.

Juicy J & Xavier Wulf Craft A Consistent & Fun Trap Record With “Memphis Zoo”

by

“The album itself is SUPER fun. It’s the signature Juicy J style, and Xavier Wulf fits very well into the mix. Short, fun and consistent, that’s what a Juicy J album should be”. That was one review left on Album Of The Year talking about the newest Juicy J project, Memphis Zoo. As the user says, this is a joint effort with the influential voice and Xavier Wulf. The latter is from Memphis as well, but even though he has been in the game for at least a decade, these two are quite unfamiliar with one another. In fact, Juicy J and Xavier Wulf did not collaborate as a duo until the former’s 2023 tape, Mental Trillness. You can hear them together on “No Man”.

After seeing their potential together, Juicy grabbed Xavier again for a couple of cuts of the aforementioned tape’s sequel earlier this year. “On The Way” and “All It Takes” are the two joints to revisit. Now, on Memphis Zoo, their relationship is fully realized, and we share the same sentiment as the reviewer above. While Juicy J is undoubtedly a pillar of Southern hip-hop, he can be limited in terms of his approach to a track.

Where he is truly great is when he creates punchy and short tracks and Memphis Zoo excels in that area. Adding in Xavier Wulf further helps this project succeed, because while the beats do slap, they are all fairly similar. So, having that extra voice with a different cadence breaks up what could have been an even more monotonous listen. Overall, Juicy J and Wulf have a solid record and we recommend you give it a spin.

YTB Fatt Stays Hot With 19-Song Tape “On Zai”

by

10k Projects signee and Arkansas rapper YTB Fatt has been on an extremely prolific run as of late. In fact, there might not be anyone from the area that is hot as him right now. GloRilla is right there with him too, so it close. But with Fatt being more of an up-and-coming name, we might give him the nod slightly. He made his way onto the Southern rap scene just last year and with every release he manages to increase his following. This weekend, YTB Fatt is sure to gain more fans after dropping another new album, On Zai.

After leaving off Foxes Only in December, the 23-year-old is making sure he keeps his name on fans’ minds. What is so incredible about On Zai is that YTB Fatt put out so many singles ahead of it. However, only two of them, “Get Up On It” and “Score” made the cut. Although, he did put out six more within the two days before the tape’s release today. It is clear that he is sitting of piles of heat, as any one of the tracks that did not land on the album could have. Artists like Lil Baby, Rylo Rodriguez, GloRilla, Blac Youngsta, and NoCap are on the YTB train and so should you.

YTB Fatt Looks To Run Up The “Score” On His Competition On Latest Single

by

YTB Fatt is one of the Southern hip-hop figures that continues to climb up the ranks with every release. The rapper hailing from the Arkansas/Tennessee border embodies a lot of what is going on in the modern Memphis scene. Bellowing and dark trap bangers are the name of the game, and the 10K Projects affiliate is bringing that tenfold. The 22-year-old also arguably possesses one of the smartest ears when it comes to production. Once again, he lives up to that billing. YTB Fatt coasts over a ghoulish instrumental on his newest single “Score”. This is his first release since the “Get Up On It / Get Back” two pack from early June.

Also helping him is his willingness to drop quite consistently. While that can be a potential problem, Fatt avoids that at all costs by being more and more engaging with each listen. Rarely does he come across as lackadaisical on a track, even though his flows come across that way. If you get down to the nitty gritty of his lyrics, YTB Fatt is going in more times than not. On “Score”, he raps with a sense of urgency mixed with confidence, as he refuses to let the competition pass him up. His hunger to be a cut above the rest translates into his music and does very effectively here. Hopefully, with the number of singles he has released this year, Fatt is nearing the release of a new project. In 2024, he has put out close to 10 solo tracks, some of which have resulted in some mini, three-song collections.

Key Glock Is Locked In On The Ominous & Braggadocious Slapper “Big Big Money”

by

It seems that fans have been waiting an eternity for Key Glock to drop “Big Big Money”. Well, the wait is finally over, as the prolific rapper has delivered it this weekend. His supporters on YouTube have claimed that “REAL Key Glock fans been waiting on this since 2017”. If that is true, then this song had better be good. To no surprise it is, as the Memphis talent continues to churn out hits in 2024.

Every single that has been put out this year has resonated with audiences. Whether it be the production, the flows or the bars, Key Glock continues to prove why he is one of the most consistent MCs in the game. Once again, Mr. Glock links up with his partner in crime, King Wonka. These two just always seem to be on the same wavelength and “Big Big Money” is another example of that. Even though the 26-year-old sticks to a certain lyrical formula, it rarely comes across as repetitive. His ever-changing flows and his recognition for interesting trap beats keep you on your toes. One track that we feel is a good example of this is “F*** Around & Find Out”. “Big Big Money” is also like the latter, as Glock slices through the dark instrumental like a hot knife through butter.

Moneybagg Yo Drops Off Blistering “PLAY DA FOOL” One Week Ahead Of “SPEAK NOW”

by

Moneybagg Yo has fans on the edge of their seats. The Memphis, Tennessee spitter was on pace to drop his newest album SPEAK NOW on May 24. However, the 32-year-old was not quite ready to release it to the masses just yet. Subsequently, fans were left disappointed, but there is a good reason for it. The hitmaker revealed that a major feature could not be left behind and he wanted to make sure that record would make the cut. SPEAK NOW is just one week away from dropping (June 14), so the wait will hopefully be worth it in the end. But before that arrives, Moneybagg Yo has one more single to share from it called “PLAY DA FOOL”.

This is the third offering from the project, as it supersedes “Bussin” with Rob49, and “TRYNA MAKE SURE”, which has been popping off. Yo is synonymous with being cutthroat and aggressive and “PLAY DA FOOL” is no different. Subsequently, you get a lot of bars about street life, snitches, violence, and the like. Moneybagg locks in and finds a pocket as soon as the record starts, leading to a thoroughly entertaining 2:20.

Key Glock Is Keeping Fans Fed With “Q Dogz”

by

While Kendrick Lamar and Drake have definitely been the main characters during May, Key Glock is not too far behind them. The Young Dolph protege continues be as hot as anyone due to the quality of his singles this month. Fans are definitely still hungry for a new album, especially after how great Glockoma 2 was. But do not take what Key Glock is doing for granted at this moment in time.

According to a press release, the reason for the Memphis, Tennessee rapper consistently dropping over these last 24 days is because of a pre-planned schedule. Sources close to him are calling this the May Takeover, which is seeing him drop five songs during the fifth month of the calendar. “Q Dogz” clocks in as the third entry and it is definitely up for the best out of the tracks we have gotten. For those who are not aware, his previous efforts include “The Greatest” and “F*** Around & Find Out.”

Listen To “Q Dogz” By Key Glock

“Q Dogz” is Key Glock taking the intimidating and braggadocious approach. Even though he is rapping about grisly violence, there are some introspective bars laced throughout too. His definition of living a fulfilling life is being there for his daughter and making as much money as possible. But he is also making it clear to not take his soft side as a weakness. “How dare these f*** n****s to call out me? (Dang, the f***? Fah, fah) / How dare these f*** n****s try somethin’? / N****s rappin’ ’bout bodies, ain’t gone one (Nah).” These lyrics have extra credibility, especially with the haunting instrumental backing it. Glock’s takeover is not just narrowed to this month, but he continues to be impressive with still one week to go.

What are your thoughts on “Q Dogz” by Key Glock? Is this his best song as of late, why or why not? Do you think he is the hottest rapper right now, why or why not? Does this get you excited for his next project? Does he have one of the best sets of ears for beats? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Key Glock.

Tryna run away from this switch, n**** (Fah, fah, fah, fah, fah, fah)

Juicy J Comes Out Of Nowhere To Drop Off New LP “Mental Trillness 2”

by

When you think of Memphis, Tennessee hip-hop legends, Juicy J is almost always going to be one of the first names to come to mind. It makes sense because there may not be a more influential voice in that corner of rap than him. He may not be at the peak of his powers to some, but you can always rely on him to deliver some rock-solid tracks, even in the “twilight” of his career. In fact, Juicy J is doing just that on this latest record, Mental Trillness 2.

This is a follow-up to the original title, which hit streaming platforms back at the end of March in 2023. It is also the first project for Juicy J since then. The “Bandz A Make Her Dance” MC tapped a few features for Mental Trillness 2. Those names include the equally energetic Sukihana, as well as Xavier Wulf, idontknowjeffery, and Project Pat.

Across this tape, Juicy J brings his trademark style, which is one of street grit, braggadocio, and raunchiness. One of the best moments in our opinion is the opening cut “Serenity.” Juicy usually does not rap over calming instrumentals, but this angelic track is definitely a highlight. Overall, this is a solid outing from the veteran, and we can now check off one out seven albums to drop in 2024.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new album Mental Trillness 2 by Juicy J? Which songs are you gravitating toward the most right now? Who had the strongest feature on the tape?

At this stage in the game, Key Glock is someone who fans always expect quality from. Moreover, it’s clear that he has no issue with frequent drops.

On Thursday, just moments ago, Key Glock decided to bless his fans with a new track called “F**k Around & Find Out.” The song comes complete with a music video that can be viewed down below. This track comes complete with some menacing lyrics, hypnotic production, and some incredibly tight flows. Key Glock does a great job skating all over the beat.
