Jay Worthy & DJ.Fresh Reunite For “Part 2” Of “The Tonite Show” Six Years Later

by

It’s been the West Coast’s year in 2024 thanks in part to Kendrick Lamar. But everyone else has been contributing heavily and with quality we may add. One of the steadiest in the underground from California, Jay Worthy, has been one of them ones this year, and he’s keeping his momentum going with The Tonite Show Part 2. The title may be familiar to some and that’s because this is the other half to the inaugural 2018 tape, The Tonite Show with Jay Worthy. That was a three-way collaborative effort between Jay, its producer, DJ.Fresh, and fellow MC, Mitchy Slick.

This marks the former’s fourth project of the year, with his 2024 featuring Affiliated 2, Magic Hour, and Time After Time. Every single tape has been a joint release, showcasing just how versatile Jay is. He you match him with just about anyone and he’s going to make something great happen. The Tonite Show Part 2 is 10 tracks and just 28 and a half minutes, so it’s not overstaying it’s welcome. On the first entry in this series, Fresh’s beat selection was bouncier and fit more for the summer. Things are a little different here, as the instrumentals feel more lowkey and subdued. It’s got some fans loving and others questioning the directional change as of now, so we want to hear what you have to say. Check out Jay and Fresh’s latest body of work, and then drop your thoughts in the comments.

Jacquees Pens Passionate, Sultry, & Intimate Songs For “Baby Making”

by

Cash Money Records R&B talent Jacquees is back with his fourth studio album called Baby Making and it’s purpose is clear. If you and your significant other are on that same wavelength and one of you needs to set the mood, the Georgia native has got you. This project was actually inspired by the singer preparing to welcome a child into the world, according to a press release. Jacquees credits his boss and label founder Birdman for the idea, saying, “What inspired Baby Making is me actually having a baby,” says. This year Birdman gave me the idea and I instantly mixed my creativity into my life.”

He goes on to add that he also concocted this tracklist “for the lovers.” Jacquees feels this was also a necessary release in general, stating, “This is what the world needs. Love and beautiful healthy happy babies.” We can definitely get down with that, and it’s clear it was created with lots of passion and care. You can also say that it was indirectly conjured with Young Thug and Mariah the Scientist in mind. Hilariously, he gave a little nudge to the couple on IG encouraging them to spin it for Thugger’s homecoming. “@thuggerthugger1 brudda this the welcome home music for you and Mariah TELLING YOU!!!!!!” Overall, Jacquees puts forth some of his most stunning vocal performances to date. There really aren’t many more gifted R&B talents than him and he’s reinstating that fact with Baby Making for sure.

Big Moochie Grape Is Back With A Vengeance On “Eat Or Get Ate 2”

by

Big Moochie Grape is back and making bangers once again after serving some time behind bars. The Memphis, Tennessee native served 14 months for parole violation, according to The FADER and it stemmed from a previous release from jail for a gun charge originally. After coming back to society, the PRE (Paper Route Emipre) signee wasted almost no time getting back in the studio. He collaborated with YouTube channel 4 Shooters Only to drop off his single “WAKE EM UP” via a “From The Block” performance. Since February, he’s been on a tear, and it’s lead to Big Moochie Grape delivering EAT OR GET ATE 2.

It’s a sequel to his first-ever LP, Eat Or Get Ate, which hit DSPs back in 2020. Four singles were a part of the rollout, including one with the late Big Scarr called “Trap A Lil Harder.” The title of that record translates pretty well to what Grape is doing on this project because he goes off on a lot of these tracks. The Young Dolph mentee brings a lot of sped-up flows to songs like the braggadocious opener “Crip Blue Hundreds.” BandPlay produces this cut, and we just have to say that this guy seems to never miss on a beat. He’s just as important as Moochie on this record and it’s clear they display some great synergy when they work together.

Lloyd Banks Is Back To Haunt His Competition’s Nightmares With “Halloween Havoc V”

by

“That n**** Banks one of the top n****s ever with bars. That’s one rap n**** n****s don’t play with. It’s certain rap n****s n****s don’t play with. He got a million lines [where] you’ll be like, ‘How the f*** I didn’t think of that?’” That was Benny The Butcher (via HipHopDX) talking about how talented Lloyd Banks, his New York contemporary, really is. Given how the Griselda affiliate was conveying his message, it almost sounds like the former G-Unit MC is someone to be feared. That is especially true around this time of year, as Lloyd Banks is known to drop projects in his fan-favorite Halloween Havoc series.

It’s true once again in 2024 with the V installment in the series here as of yesterday. It’s the second in two years, with the fourth, The 72nd Hr, ending a seven-year absence. Halloween Havoc V is the first project for Lloyd Banks this year and it’s quite the way for him to reintroduce himself solo wise. Across the 16 songs, he’s sounding more imposing than ever before over some equally frightening beats. A huge shout out goes to Cartune Beatz, Arkatech Beatz, Formula 2, among others for keeping the grim vibe of these tapes alive. Despite this being such a substantial listen according to the fans, Power 105.1 says there’s a chance that A.O.N. (All or Nothing) Series Vol. 3: Despite My Mistakes, drops sooner than later.

Conductor Williams Calls On Wiz Khalifa, Benny The Butcher, Russ, & More For “Conductor We Have A Problem, Pt.3”

by

It’s been done! Conductor Williams finally (somehow) has his first rapper/producer project out as of Halloween, Conductor We Have A Problem, Pt.3. It’s the third entry into this series and first since around this time last year. Also surprising is that the Missouri producer wasn’t able to find a distributor for this project. So, he wound up having to fund it himself. For that we are so grateful to have this project in front of us. Overall, this is just a celebratory moment for one of the most consistent in the game.

But this album isn’t just here for kicks, it’s out to show just how talented of a curator he is. For the most part, Conductor Williams succeeds with most of the features holding up their end of the bargain. Rome Streetz, the duo of Wiz Khalifa and Benny The Butcher, as well as Elijah Hooks are some of the standouts. In terms of what Williams is giving listeners, there’s the usual and reliable dark boom bap instrumentals. Additionally, you will hear some hints of R&B thanks to the collaborations from Leon Thomas and Russ to some extent. To no surprise, the former of the aesthetics fare better. All in all, it’s great to have Conductor We Have A Problem, Pt.3 and we hope that the next will one will be even better.

IDK Leaves Off “Bravado + Intimo” Featuring Joey Bada$$, Gunna, & More

by

Maryland multi-talent IDK has been a Swiss Army knife for years, and it’s very apparent once again on his latest effort, BRAVADO + INTiMO. The idea behind this body of work is to show off his mixture of bold and demonstrative side, as well as his more intimate and personal persona. This is presented both in the title of the project and of the tracks. Some have “(B)’s” or “(i)’s” next to them, which indicates the type of the vibe and tone you will hear on said record. It’s split pretty much down the middle, and in a way, this is sort of double disc album. Leading up to its release, IDK put out four singles, three of which boasted features.

“DENiM” with Joey Bada$$, “TiFFANY” featuring Gunna, and the TheARTI$t-assisted “SUPERNOVA” were those cuts. Despite clean and accessible production that sounds pleasant to the ears, the performances themselves aren’t too memorable. He’s done more daring and replay-able things on projects like Simple. and F65, for example. The duality aspect is there, but the beats carry the experience for us at least. Overall, it may be a little to barebones on the lyrical front. IDK did say though, “My goal with this album was to simplify everything. With B.i., I just wanted to sing over beats that artists like MF DOOM would normally rap over and only rap when it felt the most natural.” We can admire his dedication to stick to an idea, but we feel he’s at his best when he takes more risks. Still, give BRAVADO + INTiMO a try and see what you think of it.

Westside Gunn Returns To Form On DJ Drama-Assisted Album “Still Praying”

by

Westside Gunn really doesn’t have much to prove anymore at this stage of his career. Many already respect his unconscious work ethic and craftsmanship and the length at which he’s done so. However, it is fair to argue that his quality has seen a dip as of late. He’s definitely has had his hits since the turn of the 2020’s decade such as 10. But in just 24 hours, his fans are back on the bandwagon so to speak. The Flygod dropped a bombshell last week when he said he was going to be dropping twice in seven days. 11, part of the Hitler Wears Hermes series, got things started on Halloween and we must say it was a tremendous opening set.

But the magic didn’t run out on those five tracks because Westside Gunn and DJ Drama cooked up something equally special with Still Praying. This the third album within the Pray for collection, and it’s arguably the best one yet. This offering takes things back to the classic WSG era where he hopped on dusty yet luxurious boom bap beats. As a curator, he’s been pretty underrated. But with Still Praying, it’s hard to say that because the instrumentals are extremely layered and textured. They will put you in a trance more often than not. We feel Westside is back, so do the fans, and we think you will agree with the masses once you spin it.

Kodak Black Is Back & Opening Up On “Dieuson Octave”

by

Kodak Black is a deceptively versatile artist. On the outside, it may not seem like it and it also sounds like he wouldn’t be. His warbly and sometimes flat-out indiscernible voice doesn’t come across as something you can copy and paste outside of the trap subgenre. However, we have seen him work with the likes of Bruno Mars, Kendrick Lamar, and Anuel AA. But outside of features, he can tap into other tones and subjects. He’s not just about debauchery, violence, and flexing. Over time we have heard Kodak get deeply personal and honest. In fact, it was just around this time last year that we heard the Florida talent painfully rapping on When I Was Dead.

After taking some time to release a posse mixtape with his Vulture Love collective, Kodak Black is back on that energy with Dieuson Octave. For those who don’t know, the title is his government name. As such, the Pompano Beach resident is giving listeners a peek into his mind and his life experiences. He ponders and speaks out loud about the things that weigh on him too. Whether it’s his past, relationships (intimate or not), or loneliness, he’s an open book. In typical fashion, there wasn’t much of a rollout for Dieuson Octave. There was just one track released ahead of the eight-song tape and that was “Catch Fire.” What’s more is that it was dropped off on Halloween, one day ahead of the project. Still, fans should be able to appreciate Kodak’s personable approach and newcomers will learn more about the man behind the rap superstar.

Freddie Gibbs Strikes Back With Gritty Album “YOU ONLY DIE 1NCE”

by

Freddie Gibbs is back. The rapper may best be known for his collaborations with Madlib, but his solo material has always benefited from having a conceptual edge. It may seem like he’s telling traditional stories over hard-hitting production, but there’s always something more eclectic and ambitious under the surface. YOU ONLY DIE 1NCE is a perfect example. The album is a sequel to Freddie Gibbs’ release YOU ONLY LIVE 2WICE, and like the title suggests, it focuses on mortality. The lead single, “On the Set,” was a weighty tribute to fallen rappers like Biggie and Nipsey Hussle.

“On the Set” is actually the last song on the album, which means the rest of the songs build up to it. The placement was not accidental. Freddie Gibbs waxes poetic over this somber collection of songs, like with the meditative “It’s Your Anniversary” or the menacing “Ruthless.” Gibbs manages the rare feat keeping the tracklist both cohesive and varied. “Brick Fees” sees the rapper rattle off bars over a measured beat, and “Wolverine” may just be the best song on the whole album. There’s nothing flashy about the music or Freddie Gibbs’ rhyme scheme, but the earnestness on display is what has always allowed the rapper to stand out from his peers.

Let us know what you think of this brand new album, in the comments section down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will continue to keep you informed on all of your favorite artists and their upcoming projects.

Lil Uzi Vert Soars With Eclectic New Album “Eternal Atake 2”

by

Hats off to Lil Uzi Vert. The rapper has managed to orchestrate a stellar rollout for his new album Eternal Atake 2 in the span of a couple weeks. He dropped inventive promo videos and a teaser song that served as a theme to the “Uzi the Earthling.” The theme isn’t on the album, but now that we have Eternal Atake 2 it’s understandable. Lil Uzi Vert’s latest is a fascinating mashup and styles and sounds from the different album cycles. It’s not a culmination, per say, but it feels like it takes the Eternal Atake sound and applies elements of PINK TAPE for something wholly unique.

“We Good” kicks things off with a bold, cinematic sound, before transitioning to the more aggressive sounds “Light Year (Practice).” Lil Uzi Vert handles most of the songs on the album himself, which feels like an especially bold choice in a hip hop landscape predicated on extensive features. “Not An Option” is a wonky banger with an earworm beat, while “Black Hole” leans into the extraterrestrial aesthetic laid out by the artwork. The biggest surprise in the tracklist, though, is Lil Uzi Vert’s collaboration with Big Time Rush, “The Rush.” It shouldn’t work, and it wouldn’t work with most rapper, but Uzi has the eclectic mix and the ambition to pull it off. Another Uzi Vert success.
