Slim Thug Is Feeling Good On His Latest Record “Midlife Crisis”

Prolific, veteran, Houston rapper Slim Thug is back with another album for 2023. This new project follows up his second release from this year, BIGslim (Swisha House Remix) (Edited), and it is titled Midlife Crisis. Before both of these releases, he put out Where Dreams Are Made. Each output has been short and concise with each one not exceeding more than 10 songs. Midlife Crisis follows that similar trend with just 12 tracks at just over 37 minutes in length.

Thug is sounding extremely confident as he always has on this new effort. A good deal of the cuts here feature some nice soulful vocal samples. Additionally, the rapper is laying down his verses over the traditional bassy and bouncy Southern hip-hop beats. Some of the themes that are woven into the runtime of the project seem to reflect on his past when times were putting him in difficult situations.

Baby Keem’s “Scars” Shows Why He Is One Of The Most Exciting Artists Of The Decade

Back in 2021, there were plenty of fantastic records that were drawing heavy album-of-the-year consideration. But, one that you have to include on that list is Baby Keem’s, The Melodic Blue. It is crazy to think that this project is already two years old. Sometimes, albums can grow stale in a short time after their release. However, with all of the various sounds and instrumentals that Keem attacks here, it is still holding its value to this day.

There are tons of outstanding tracks across this 16-track LP. The opening cut, “trademark usa” is a fan-favorite. The drone-like beat in the first half is very unique and Keem’s lyrics cover a wide range of topics such as artists not taking risks in their music. That is all the California rapper does on The Melodic Blue. Other examples of this include the glitchy pop track “16” which is a beautiful closer to an ever-changing tracklist. Another cut here that is a stunner is “scars.”

Listen To “Scars” Off The Melodic Blue From Baby Keem

This song draws a lot of inspiration from Kanye West’s massively influential 2008 record, 808s & Heartbreak. Specifically, it samples the hit “Love Lockdown” which is very light on the instrumentation. “Scars” is also minimal but takes a different lyrical approach. Keem is passionately singing and rapping about how the toughest decisions in his life are messing with his mental fortitude. The multi-talent put out an impressive deluxe version in October 2022. Most of those songs really could have shown up on the original, which shows how much potential Keem still has left to tap into.

What were your initial thoughts on The Melodic Blue from Baby Keem? Was this one of the best albums of the last few years? Is he one of the most exciting artists in hip-hop today? Which song is your favorite off of this project? We want to hear what you have to say about all of this.

Tinashe’s BB/ANG3L Is Sonic Heaven

A true unheralded veteran in the R&B genre delivers once again on her latest commercial effort. Tinashe has been wowing fans and music heads for quite some time. Her ability to crossover into so many different genres is arguably her greatest skill and it is in full force on her new but short album. BB/ANG3L is sadly only seven tracks and 20 minutes in length. We say sadly because the effort and soundscapes here are truly breathtaking and blissful. You pair that with Tinashe’s effortless and silky, smooth singing and you have a terrific project on your hands.

Back in July, the singer teased at the name of the album on her Twitter account. Following that, about a week later she put out the lead single to this album, “Talk To Me Nice.” It may be some recency bias, but this is one of Tinashe’s best tracks ever. From the very start of the track, you get her looping, entrancing “Talk” vocals with a stripped-back beat that is bassy and truly addicting. The melodies and vocals Tinashe pulls off have you trapped and it feels like all you can do is sing along with her but it is amazing. Then, the beat switch comes in and it lets her voice shine even more, what a track.

Shortly after that, “Needs” came out. It saw her perform with the utmost confidence talking about her requirements for a good time in bed. But, the new tracks like “Treason,” “Tightrope,” and “Gravity” are all fantastic as well. This album, according to Genius, “is the first part of a two-part project that sees Tinashe explore genres such as R&B, Electronic, Pop, and Hip-Hop.” Well, it is safe to say we are excited for the second half of this adventure. BB/ANG3L is a must-listen for Tinashe and R&B fans alike.  

What are your initial thoughts on this brand new album, BB/ANG3L, from Tinashe? Is this her best album of all time? Which song is your favorite on this project so far?

Lancey Foux Takes Us “BACK2DATRAP” On His Third Mixtape

The hip-hop talent in the UK is extremely vast, offering plenty of unique voices to many in the States. East London’s Lancey Foux is one of those talents, and he has continued to provide some eclectic sounds over the past several years. He is back to do that once again on the third mixtape of his career, BACK2DATRAP. Additionally, this is his eighth project overall dating back to his debut Pink in 2015. Lancey’s title tells you all you need to know about the subject matter for this mixtape.

There is no real theme, sense of cohesion, or story behind the tracklist for BACK2DATRAP. It is a project that serves the purpose of providing nothing but slaps and Lancey delivers tenfold on that front. Most mixtapes are usually lengthy and padded out with filler tracks to rack up streams. But, the rapper keeps it to a minimal 12 tracks at just 30 minutes and change.

Listen To BACK2DATRAP From Lancey Foux

Lancey’s lead single for this tape, “MMM HMM” featuring an unpredictable verse from Sexyy Red lands here too. Other than that, it is a featureless set of cuts that sees him bring wild energy and fun beats. Most of the production comes from Bally who is a frequent beat maker for Lancey and others such as Lil Uzi Vert. A lot of the instrumentals fall under the rage rap subgenre with of course trap and even psychedelic trap elements. There is a lot of exciting tracks here and it should fare well with many Lancey fans.

What are your initial thoughts on this brand new album, BACK2DATRAP, from Lancey Foux? Is this his best project to date? Does this feature the best production out of all of his efforts? We want to hear what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your thoughts and opinions in the comments section below.

Real Boston Richey Takes On His Second Project “Welcome To Bubba Land” By Himself

Real Boston Richey always makes headlines for his music. When he does, though, it usually is not for good reasons. However, this time, it is to announce the release of his sophomore album. On September 8, just over eight months after the deluxe version of his debut album, Public Housing, Pt. 2, Richey is back in a big way. His first effort saw him grab features from label head Future, as well as Moneybagg Yo, Kodak Black, and Lil Durk.

For Welcome To Bubba Land, the name of his second LP, he takes full control of the project. There is no feature in sight. It is all Richey for all 16 tracks and all 43 minutes. It is a big task for the rapper, especially after being in the industry for just a couple of years. But he handles it with confidence and there are some similarities to this labelmate’s production styles.

Listen To Welcome To Bubba Land From Real Boston Richey

Some of the beats mimic the production on Future’s I NEVER LIKED YOU. The elements you can hear on “KEEP IT BURNIN” and “HOLY GHOST” find their way onto some of Richey’s cuts. The orchestral background vocals and the sped-up hi-hats appear across Bubba. Richey mentioned why he included no features with AllHipHop. “Them features people go to when you wanna get heard, when you wanna get known, I done did it … I ain’t really gave my fans 100 percent me… This go round, I want to give my fans 100 percent me.” It is certainly respectable of Richey to give this to his fans. Do you think it was the right move?

What are your thoughts on this new album, Welcome To Bubba Land, from Real Boston Richey? Is this his best project? Is he the best rapper, besides Future, on the Freebandz label? We want to hear what you have to say. With that in mind, leave all of your opinions in the comments section. Additionally, keep it locked with HNHH for all of the hottest album releases.

Lil Peep And ILOVEMAKONNEN Bring Their Talents Together To Make “DIAMONDS”

Lil Peep’s legacy continues to live on with the release of this new posthumous release with ILOVEMAKONNEN. DIAMONDS is not the first example of these two getting in the studio together. On Come Over When You’re Sober, Pt. 2, both rappers appear on a bonus track called “Sunlight On Your Skin.” Following that, in 2019, the pairing released a single, “I’ve Been Waiting,” which made it onto the final product, in the form of an OG version. Furthermore, “November” is on the effort too, with it being the third single. The album is quite long with 21 tracks and nearly hitting the 90-minute mark.

Before Peep’s passing on November 15, 2017, the emo-rap legend announced this project was going to be available. Obviously, though, it has not come out until September 8, 2023. But, the excitement behind this work from Peep was contagious. “When he came home in August, he played those songs for us — over and over. Gus was incredibly proud of those songs,” said Peep’s mother Liza Womack to Rolling Stone.

The chemistry is apparent on this collaboration LP. What is important to note is this is Peep’s last fully completed album, according to his estate. In a statement with Pitchfork, Liza was extremely grateful for MAKONNEN and the whole team for the effort they put into this project so it could be released in the way Peep would have wanted it to be. She says, “I am very grateful to Makonnen not only for his patience, grace, and fortitude, but also for the tenderness with which he re-assembled the original “Diamonds Team” to gently prepare the album for its release. He did an amazing job—they all did. Gus would be so proud to know that this album had come out. He would be grateful to his friends for taking the time and care to do it just right.”

XXXTentacion’s Four-Track “ItWasntEnough” EP Hits Streaming Services

XXXTentacion is an artist who was certainly polarizing during his time in the spotlight. Overall, he had a very interesting sound and was not afraid to experiment across genres. However, he was also extremely controversial due to his behavior outside of music. Although he has his defenders, he also has a lot of people who hate him. It is hard to call the criticism against X unreasonable. He did some very questionable things when he was alive, and it’s impossible to forget that.

Over the last few years, his estate has been dropping quite a few projects. For the most part, these albums have been unfinished and disappointing. This week, it was revealed another project would hit streaming services. However, this time around, it would be a project that fans actually knew quite intimately. We are talking about the ItWasntMe EP which was released back in 2016. It has four tracks and was never put on streaming… until now.

James Blake Gets Experimental With “Playing Robots Into Heaven”

James Blake is an artist who has been hip-hop adjacent for quite some time now. Overall, he has done a few tracks here and there with the likes of Metro Boomin and even Travis Scott. He has built quite a bit of clout in the rap world, and that has gotten him pretty far. However, he stands on his own as a great singer, songwriter, and producer. The man has operated in the pop space for a bit, and he has even done dubstep in the past. Needless to say, he is one of those artists who can wear many hats.

When James Blake revealed he would be dropping a new album called Playing Robots Into Heaven, no one knew what direction he would go in. However, as he began dropping singles, it became clear he was getting instrumental. Glitchy electronic beats became the name of the game, and fans were pretty excited about it.
