mixtape

Days after appearing to air out his issues with fellow Bone Thugs members with “Bizzy Get’s Busy,” Bizzy Bone has returned with his latest solo project. The rapper came through with I’m Busy earlier this year — an eighteen-song body of work that showcases how music runs in his bloodline. The album doesn’t contain appearances from any Bone Thugs-N-Harmony member but it highlights his two sons, Lil Bizzy and YBL Sinatra, who serve as the only features on the album.

“This is what ya’ll have to look forward to with this one. Nasty production. Lightning speed lyrical Assassins. Real content. True subject matter. Got my sons with me and they did deliver as promised. Very proud of them,” he said of the project in August.

Check out Bizzy Bone’s new project below. 

Lil Jairmy is back with brand new heat to ride out to this fall. The Houston rapper came through with the sequel to 2021’s Gas God on Friday. The 16-song project brings forth a slew of superstar guest appearances from the likes of Moneybagg Yo, who appeared on “Supercharge,” Future, EST Gee, and the late Lil Keed, who recorded his verse in the studio with Jairmy prior to his death. 

As Lil Jairmy continues to rise in the rap game, GasGod 2 will surely set the stage for bigger things to come. Check out the tracklist and project below.

Jenevieve is an R&B singer on the rise. While she hasn’t been in the industry for that long, her mesmerizing mix of graceful melodies and soul-filled lyrics has allowed her to accomplish a lot. She has been fortunate enough to perform at Sacramento’s Sol Blume music festival and at Los Angeles’ iconic Hollywood Forever Cemetery. Now, she’ll hit the road with esteemed singer, Giveon.

Continuing with her success, the songstress released her new EP, Rendezvous, on Friday, September 9. Equipped with the six tracks, the anticipated body of work showed off Jenevieve’s diversity. From the slow, rhythm-infused songs “CaNdY LiEs” and “MDMA” to the upbeat party record, “2NLuv,” the artist reminded listeners that the upcoming class of women in music have a lot to offer.

Another record on the project was “Love Quotes,” which she released previously. The three-minute song dropped last month and gained a lot of traction, which prompted Jenevieve and her team to create a music video for it. In just two days, it has already garnered nearly 40,000 views.

Listen to the EP in its entirety on the streaming platforms below, and watch the official music video for “Love Quotes.”

Rosalía’s most recent album, MOTOMAMI, was a critical and commercial success. It makes sense, then, that the Spanish artist has returned to the project to create a deluxe version that boasts a whole slew of new songs.

Notably, Rosalía added “Despecha,” a single which she dropped back in July. In typical Rosalía fashion, it’s a banger that doesn’t fit neatly into any genre– a little bit of reggaetón, a little bit of flamenco, a little bit of hip-hop. Also on MOTOMAMI + are the new songs “Aislamiento,” “La Kilié,” “LAX,” and “Chiri.”

The new additions don’t end there. The versatile singer has also included a remix of “Candy,” which now includes a feature from Chencho Corleone, as well as a live version of her hit “La Fama,” which had originally featured The Weeknd. This live version, from Palau Sant Jordi, has an epic opening and sees a flawless vocal delivery from Rosalía.

Check out the deluxe project in its entirety below, and let us know what you think of it in the comments.

Aria Wells, better known to her fans as Greentea Peng, returned this weekend with a new mixtape consisting of 10 songs created in collaboration with Nat Powers, Jon Mills, MJ Cole and Swindle, and St Francis Hotel.

“GREENZONE 108 is a free-flowing, open field of expression,” the 27-year-old shared in a press release. “A collection of works accumulated over a transitional period of my life. An elevation of sorts from MAN MADE, in the sense that so much has changed and formed in the two years since that conception.”

“GREENZONE 108 is freer, less formed, and more of an open dialogue/space exploring all different types of topics from spirituality and originality to mental health and politricks, hence why this is a mixtape and not an album.”

In the years since making her debut, Peng has been compared to the likes of Erykah Badu and Amy Winehouse, though she herself has no such hopes of gaining as much public notoriety as they have.

“I have no interest in being a pop star or a household name,” she declared in an interview with The Guardian last year. “As soon as it starts to feel like it’s about anything other than the music, that’s when I’ll take a step back.”

Stream GREENZONE 108 on Spotify, Apple Music, or Soundcloud below, and tap back in with HNHH later for more music updates.

GREENZONE 108 Tracklist:

1. Feint

2. Lose My Mind

3. Look To Him

North Carolina artist TiaCorine continues to map out her takeover with her latest release. The rising star is known for fusing genres in this ever-evolving musical landscape, and I Can’t Wait shows her evolution since releasing her 34Corine EP. TiaCorine emerged back in 2018 with “Lotto,” and since that time, she has built a devoted fanbase that is excited to hear her I Can’t Wait offering.

“I’m so happy to finally be releasing my new album,” she told HNHH. “I put a lot of time into making sure the music was undeniable, so that when people hear it, they can see the boundaries I’m pushing and they just have to f*ck with it.”

“I know I can really rap, so of course I want to showcase my abilities as a lyricist,” she continued. “But I’m also a multifaceted person with a wide variety of interests and abilities, so I want people to see that I’m doing much more than just rapping. I like bringing all the sonic and visual aesthetics that I enjoy into one experience, because that’s what makes me ‘me’ and sets me apart from everyone else.”

Features include Kenny Beats, UnoTheActivist, and Tony Shhnow. Stream TiaCorine’s I Can’t Wait and share your thoughts.

Though it’s been three years since Sampa The Great released The Return, she hasn’t left fans empty handed. Over the past few years, she’s dished out several solid guest appearances to hold fans over until kicking off the campaign for her second studio album earlier this year.

Today, she shared As Above, So Below in its entirety. The dense 11-song effort boasts appearances from Denzel Curry, Joey Bada$$, Powers Pleasant, Chef 187, Kojey Radical, Angelique Kidjo, and more. On the production side, Mag44 holds down a significant portion of the record with Sampa also serving as a co-producer on several tracks. 

In an interview wth Spin, she explained how this project came from a place of comfort in her career and artistry. “[The album is] more of the focus on why I’m making music and why I love expressing myself through music, versus defending [why I’m] making music and defending who I am,” she explained.

Arriving in two acts is John Legend’s eighth studio album, LEGEND. The award-winning singer delivered the R&B, Soul record at the top of New Music Friday (September 9), and it has been a labor of love that was inspired by not only the artists who came before him but his ancestral lineage. In a press release, Legend explained how he has “never [felt] divorced from” his ancestors, and that includes his “musical heritage.”

“I don’t feel like I need to leave it behind to be adventurous, or creative, or to try something new,” said Legend. “When I’m creating something new, I’m still hearing the voices and influences of Stevie, Marvin, Curtis, Aretha, Nina, Donny, and Prince. Black musicians have always been at the forefront of innovation in music.”

“But where I think Hip Hop is always about what’s new, with Soul music, we are a bit more nostalgic,” he continued. “And hopefully, what we’ve been able to do with LEGEND is that synthesis of looking forward, but also connecting with where we come from.”

Features on the record include Rick Ross, J.I.D, Free Nationals, Ty Dolla $ign, Jhené Aiko, Jazmine Sullivan, Saweetie, Jada Kingdom, Muni Long, Rapsody, and Ledisi. Stream John Legend’s latest album LEGEND and share your thoughts.

Griselda’s dominated the rap game in the past two years but in the midst of their ascension, tragedy struck when news of DJ Shay’s death emerged. Today, Benny The Butcher and The Black Soprano Family keep his name alive with the release of their new project, Long Live DJ Shay. With members of Griselda, like Westside Gunn, Stove God Cooks and Conway, across the tracklist, Benny The Butcher largely steps back to allow his team to shine on the 14-song project, which was entirely mixed by Young Guru.

“Long Live DJ Shay!  We put so much into this knowing he is watching down on us, and I know this is gonna wake everyone up,” Benny The Butcher said in a statement. “B$F is the biggest.  I promise you we them ones.  The album is top-notch; from production to the rhymes and it’s entirely mixed by the legendary Young Guru, so I know it’s gone pop out ya speakers the right way.”

Much has been said about the state of R&B in recent years and Sean “Diddy” Combs added fuel to the flames of the debates. We recently lived through the “Is R&B dead?” social media debacle which showed that there are plenty of artists making sure the genre is alive and thriving. Dreamville songbird Ari Lennox is one of several artists who have been dominating the R&B space, and on Friday (September 9), she shared her anticipated album, age/sex/location.

Lennox previously stated that there was more Soul in this record, and she wasn’t kidding. Her tracks “Pressure,” “Hoodie,” and the Summer Walker-assisted “Queen Space” have already made waves, and her newly-released track “Leak It” featuring Chlöe is quickly becoming a fan favorite. Another feature on the record includes a stellar look from Lucky Daye, making this one an R&B dream for fans.
