Omar Apollo Drops A Heavenly EP With “Live For Me”

by

If you are looking to get into artists like Daniel Caesar, SZA, Kali Uchis, and others, you have to check out Omar Apollo. While he does not have the mass appeal of those aforementioned singers, he has a stunning voice. On top of that, he possesses a great ear for production. Combine both of those qualities and you have yourself a terrific do-it-all musician. Omar is finally back after a year-long bridge between his last project. That would happen to be his album, Ivory. He tapped, you guessed it, Daniel Caesar and Kali Uchis as his only two guests.

Ironically, though, Apollo was not really inspired by these artists. He drew from a wide pool including names like Prince, Alicia Keys, and Sly And The Family Stone. Omar’s name has been blowing up recently, too. He opened for SZA during her SOS Tour and appeared on the latest Caesar project, NEVER ENOUGH. Based on all of the names we listed, he pulls from plenty of sounds to make him sound unique. The Indiana-born singer dabbles in genres of alternative R&B, pop, soul, bedroom pop, and more.

Elcamino Makes A Quick Comeback With “They Spit On Jesus”

by

Buffalo, New York is a city that has plenty to offer in terms of lyrical talents. One of those is Elcamino. He has not been around as long as Benny The Butcher or Westside Gunn, but he has made a name for himself. It all started for him back in 2018 with the release of his self-titled project. Over time, he has been able to work with some of the rappers with the best pen games.

Fellow New Yorks like Benny, familiar collaborators like Fuego Base, and plenty of others to list. He has quickly established a career due to his steady output of material. It is the current streaming trend in hip-hop to drop constant songs and projects. For some it is annoying, but at least Elcamino has the standout production and bars to back it up.

Earl Sweatshirt & The Alchemist Share Full Version Of “Voir Dire” To Streaming

by

Earlier this year, rapper Earl Sweatshirt and producer The Alchemist teamed up for an entire new project called VOIR DIRE. It wasn’t the first time they had ever collaborated, in fact, Earl made an appearance on Alc’s Flying High EP earlier this year. Though the project was short, fans were pretty excited for it as both names are pretty beloved in the underground rap scene. Unfortunately, not many people heard the album when it first dropped.

The reason VOIR DIRE went under the radar is because it was originally dropped exclusively on NFT-based music streaming platform Gala. This was met with backlash from fans who didn’t want to make an account on a crypto music website just to hear the album. Thankfully, the pair eventually came through for their fans promising not just that the album would come to streaming, but that it would have new tracks when it did. Those new songs round the album out to 11 tracks and just under half an hour with two features from Vince Staples and another from MIKE. Check out the entire album tracklist below.

Earl Sweatshirt & The Alchemist’s Album Hits Streaming

Starting tonight, Earl and The Alchemist are going on tour in support of the album. They’re playing a series of 11 shows this month stopping all across the country alongside MIKE and Black Noi$e.

Earl Sweatshirt has been playing shows on his own all year. During one now notorious August show he teased fans in attendance with a Frank Ocean appearance, which obviously didn’t end up happening. Some fans online thought the tease was funny while others interpreted it as just cruel and tried to call Earl out. What do you think of the new full version of VOIR DIRE on streaming? Let us know in the comment section below.

Drake Releases “For All The Dogs” Ft. J. Cole, SZA, Bad Bunny & More

by

After much anticipation, Drake came through with his latest album, For All The Dogs. Arriving at the tail end of his It’s All A Blur tour with 21 Savage, the Canadian rapper’s kept fans on their toes since announcing the project earlier this year. For All The Dogs boasts an impressive 23 songs in total with a group of impeccable collaborators. Unfortunately, Nicki Minaj doesn’t appear on the project but he does bring out J. Cole, 21 Savage, Bad Bunny, SZA (who appears twice), Chief Keef, and more for the project.

Overall, the album’s credit boasts some impressive names. Yeat, Sexyy Red, Teezo Touchdown, and Lil Yachty all join Drake across the tracklist. However, just before hosting Table For One on Thursday night, the rapper unveiled the official credits for the project which show Kevin Durant served as the A&R on For All The Dogs. With the rapper set to perform in Toronto tonight (Oct. 6) and tomorrow (Oct. 7), we can imagine that Drake intends to perform a handful of these songs for the first time today. Hopefully, he also debuts “8 AM In Charlotte” live, which he premiered on Thursday.

Drake’s Prolific Run Continues

For All The Dogs follows an impeccable run by Drake. Kicking off with 2021’s Certified Lover Boy, he followed up in summer of 2022 with the release of Honestly, Nevermind, a house-influenced body of work that certainly divided fans. However, he slid through in the final quarter of 2022 with another body of work, Her Loss, alongside his tourmate, 21 Savage.

The album was initially supposed to be a companion piece to his poetry book, Titles Ruin Everything, which he released earlier this year. However, between the string of features and singles he’s delivered over the months, he kept fans on the edge of their seats awaiting the new project. Plus, he kept fans up to speed on its release throughout his latest tour. Press play on For All The Dogs above and sound off with your thoughts in the comments.

Oliver Tree Gets Vulnerable On New Album “Alone In A Crowd”

by

Oliver Tree has returned with another LP, Alone In A Crowd. The new project follows his 2022 album, Cowboy Tears. Back in June, the 30-year-old performer gave listeners a taste of what was to come with “Bounce.” The romantic track is accompanied by an expectedly bizarre music video, directed by the Santa Cruz native himself.

He dropped off three more singles ahead of the release, “One & Only,” “Essence” feat. Super Computer, and “Fairweather Friends.” Each one is joined by a similarly surreal visual, and they’ve all already managed to rack up millions of views on YouTube alone.

Oliver Tree – “Fairweather Friends”

Listeners hear Oliver Tree embracing a variety of different flavors on his latest project, opening up on laid back tracks like “Highlight Of My Life,” while tapping elements of hip hop on songs such as “Fairweather Friends.” He explores themes of love, heartbreak, and feeling like an outcast on Alone In A Crowd, recruiting the help of Super Computer and Robin Schulz.

At the end of September, Oliver Tree spoke to NPR about the new release, revealing that the project was built around a fictional character he created, “Cornelius Cummings.” He explained that he drew inspiration from his whirlwind success, pulling themes of alienation from his own lived experiences. “I became incredibly lonely,” he said of his hasty rise to fame. “I felt isolated, Rapunzel-ed (ph). It wasn’t actually a really healthy experience. Whether it’s tons of praise or tons of negativity, there’s nothing healthy about that for the psyche.” What do you think of Alone In A Crowd? What songs will you be adding to your playlist? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates on Oliver Tree.

Alone In A Crowd Tracklist:

The 22-year-old performer is seen dancing along to the unapologetically spooky track, fittingly adorned with a crown while he waves around a weapon. Heavy production meets distorted vocals and ghoulish ad-libs, making the track the perfect addition to Halloween playlists everywhere. The new EP follows Sematary’s collab with Blp Kosher which he dropped off in June, “Huntin Wabbits.” It also follows his January release, Butcher House.

Sematary chatted with Complex at Summer Smash back in June, revealing that the highlight of his year so far has been landing a Chief Keef feature. “I got a Sosa feature on my song,” he told the outlet. “With Zac FTP for the FTP album. It’s called ‘F*ck The World.’ I got Chief Keef on my sh*t, so no one can ever say sh*t about me now. Like he made all of this, there ain’t no any of this without him.

Cleo Sol Strikes “Gold” On Her New Album

by

If you’re an R&B or soul fan in any capacity, you’re a criminal awaiting prison time if you’re sleeping on Cleo Sol. Maybe it’s not that serious, but with the way her 2023 has been shaping up so far, it will definitely be true in a couple of weeks. Moreover, the London singer just released her second album of the year so far with Gold, and it’s a lean 10-track effort. Following up her last LP Heaven, which came out just two weeks ago as of writing this article, she’s absolutely dominated the month. What’s more is that the Ladbroke Grove native’s done so with tender, crisp, and obviously soulful genre fusions that establish her as a captivating voice.

For example, cuts like “Things Will Get Better” gain an extra punch thanks to the softly sharp and jazzy drums. One thing that you can always count on when you’re going through Gold, though, is the 33-year-old’s beautiful vocals, which are as effectively sultry as they can be triumphantly soaring. However, on the signing end, this isn’t the only highlight to remark, as the background contributions also create a heavenly atmosphere. Furthermore, the opening track “There Will Be No Crying” is an excellent example of this, as the gospel fusions come across as healing. Other tracks are more sparse without losing their power, such as the constantly leading piano on “Please Don’t End It All.”

Cleo Sol’s Gold: Stream

Meanwhile, the “Woman” songwriter, whose work with Little Simz garnered her much acclaim, seems defiantly hopeful on the lyrical front. Many of these cuts are about heartbreak, hardship, and a strong connection to the spiritual, unseen, or mysterious for inspiration. Gold shimmers on almost all fronts, and with Cleo Sol’s discography increasing rapidly in just two weeks, we can patiently wait for the next one at her own pace while digging into the great work she already presented. If you haven’t heard this album yet, find it on your preferred streaming service and peep the tracklist below. As always, stay up to date on HNHH for more great releases in the music world each week.
