She is a veteran in the industry but for many, Muni Long seems like a newcomer. The R&B maven has penned songs for some of our favorite artists over the years and while her resumé is a rare one, only recently have music lovers really been able to tap into Long’s talents as a solo artist. Her hit single “Hrs and Hrs” received viral fame and helped throw Muni’s name into the R&B ring as a formidable contender, and for this New Music Friday (September 23), she’s back with a new album.

Fans will quickly see that Public Displays of Affection: The Album has many fan favorites including the aforementioned viral hit along with “Time Machine” and “Cartier.” While it does fuse tracks listed on her Public Displays of Affection Too EP, we do see new songs that will certainly whet the appetite of audiences worldwide.

“I am a lover,” Muni explains. “I prefer to be kind. I believe in fairy tales. The reason Public Displays of Affection worked is because love was absent in R&B.” For that breakthrough project, Muni wanted to mimic the ebbs and flows of a relationship, dipping and diving between moods and sounds-which is real, because love can be tumultuous, too.

Even though Curren$y remains one of the most prolific rappers of all time, he told HNHH earlier this year that he was planning to slow down his release schedule following Continuance. However, that wasn’t a commitment that lasted a long time. In June, he slid through with the release of Spring Clean and its deluxe version and he still has more in the stash.

As a staple of the blog era, he came through this week with a brand new project titled, The 8 Ball Jacket, exclusively available as a free download on JetLife.com. It’s an 8-song effort with appearances from Mac and Premo Ice that showcases Curren$y’s pristine flow and lifestyle bars.

Check the project out below via YouTube and let us know your thoughts in the comments. 

If you’re looking for some quality bars, then King Los has you covered. The rapper returned this weekend with the release of his latest project, GOAT Tape 2, which brings it back to the essence of mixtapes. This time, he slides through with a lengthy 22 songs in total with very few guest appearances except BDot The God, and Kye Thompson, who appears twice. GOAT Tape 2 sees Los taking on some of the biggest songs of the past year and beyond. From Frank Ocean’s “Novacane” to Kodak Black’s “Super Gremlin,” Los tears through each beat with ease.

Prior to dropping his new project, he blessed fans with 4 Piece Nuggets where he dished bars over songs from Drake, Busta Rhymes, and more.

Check out his latest project below. 

What better way to fight off your Sunday Scaries than with a new episode of OVO Sound?

This weekend, both Oliver and G0homeroger shared sets with some of their favourite tracks from the biggest names in the industry right now. As per usual, the former kicked things off, this time around showing love to EST Gee’s I Never Felt Nun album with tracks like “Shoot It Myself” featuring Future and a solo title called “Hell.”

Other artists who got their flowers include Lil Jairmy, Lil Gotit, Lil Baby, BAKA NOT NICE, BlueBucksClan, Chris Brown, and even Central Cee’s impressive L.A. Leakers freestyle. Ice Spice, Fivio Foreign, Wizkid, and Drake, were among the names who rounded out the first set.

For his part, G0homeroger began with an homage to rising star Yeat, playing two tracks back to back – “Wat it feel lyke” and “Flawless” featuring Lil Uzi Vert.

NAV and Gunna’s “Playa” collaboration was also included, along with titles from Kay Flock, Shawny Binlader, GMO Stax, Jugg Harden, and DaeMoney. The final song of this week’s episode came from YungLiV with “Big Livvy 2.”

Check it all out exclusively on Soundcloud below, and tap back in with HNHH later for more music updates.

Ka$hdami, born David Wallace III, is a teenage rapper hailing from Las Vegas, Nevada. The 17-year-old continues to garner attention from the youth with his distinct talent and memorable bars. “Reparations!” and “Look N The Mirror!” two of his most popular records, still gain traction on TikTok, keeping him relevant to his target audience. 

Hoping to continue growing his fanbase, Ka$hdami releases his newest body of work, WORLD DAMINATION. The 13-song mixtape features notable artists like midwxst, NoCap, XLOVCLO, and others. What makes this project different is Ka$hdami’s new approach. As he creates an aspirational lifestyle, the artist opens up more about himself than ever. From detailing his success at such a young age to describing how he has had to filter through the fakes, Ka$hdami does not hold back on his latest creation. 

The project was released yesterday (September 16), but the rapper has been teasing his fans for days, revealing the cover art and tracklist hours after each other.

Mura Masa’s returned with his official follow-up to 2020’s R.Y.C. Earlier today, Mura Masa shared his new project, Demon Time, an 11-song opus that dives into hyperpop and early 2000s nostalgia. The effort boasts appearances from Lil Uzi Vert, BAYLI, Skillibeng, Pa Salieu, Channel Tres, Shygirl, PinkPantherss, slowthai and more.

During a conversation with Consequence Of Sound, he explained how the early 2000s inspired the project unintentionally.

“I think the kind of late ’90s and early 2000s is really interesting, because I think back then it was still possible to imagine a really futuristic idea of what was going to happen in a positive way. But now, it’s like, ‘Oh, Mark Zuckerberg says that you can go to Target in the Metaverse and that’s supposed to be interesting’ or like, climate change being the biggest human catastrophe of all time — that’s the future,” he said.

It’s time for another round of tracks from Joell Ortiz and KXNG Crooked. The pair recently made waves with their The Rise & Fall of Slaughterhouse effort that didn’t sit well with their former groupmates. The controversy involved Royce Da 5’9″ and Joe Budden telling Oritz and Crook that they weren’t huge fans of the release, resulting in an explosive Livestream moment.

The Slaughterhouse tension hasn’t stopped Crook and Ortiz from moving forward with their latest joint project, Harbor City Season One, which arrived this New Music Friday (September 16). On Instagram, Ortiz described the record as an “audio drama series,” and fans have already taken to social media to praise their bars.

It’ll be interesting to see this unfold as a series. The project features AZ, Blakk Soul, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Jeweliet, and Mrk Sx. Stream Harbor City Season One and let us know your thoughts.

Yesterday evening (September 15) was a huge night for Jessie Reyez as she celebrated the release of her latest effort. The R&B songbird was joined by her loved ones, including a few famous friends, as a video showing Drake at the shindig has made the rounds. Reyez has returned with Yessie, her sophomore album that acts as an open wound that the Toronto standout carefully examines musically, analyzing emotions related to self-discovery, love, and heartache.

“The day is finally here,” she wrote on Instagram once her album arrived. Reyez then joked, “I feel like I’ve had to take a sh*t for f*cking months and I finally found relief. Yessie. Out now.”

Yessie only hosts one feature from 6LACK, proving that she can carry a project with talent alone. Stream Yessie and let us know what you think of Jessie Reyez’s latest.
