by

Gucci Mane has delivered a colossal, 80-track album titled, So Icy Boyz: The Finale. The project clocks in at three hours and 51 minutes all-in-all. It boasts both new music and previously released work.

Across the massive tracklist, Lil Baby, Jeremih, Trey Songz, 2 Chainz, Offset, Quavo, and more make appearances. Additionally, the project welcomes plenty of 1017 talent including KATO2x, Li Rye, Mac Critter, Sett, and TLE Cinco.

Among the songs is Gucci Mane’s tribute to the late Migos rapper, Takeoff, “Letter to Takeoff.”

“How the fuck we gon’ lose Takeoff? Damn, he didn’t deserve it/We don’t supposed to question God, but damn, Takeoff was perfect,” he raps on the song.

Other highlights include “Sh*t Crazy (Remix),” “Spin,” “1 of 1,” and more.

Users on social media had plenty of jokes in response to the album’s length. “Literally dropped an Avengers flick length album,” one user said. At three hours and 51 minutes, So Icy Boyz: The Finale is longer than The Titanic, Avengers: Endgame, and Avatar: The Way of Water.

Another joked, “Gucci Mane dropped a 80 song album … Chris Brown has 24 hours to respond.” They had been referencing Brown’s 45-track album, Heartbreak on a Full Moon.

The new album comes less than two months after Gucci Mane shared, So Icy Boyz 22. Other projects Gucci has released in the series include So Icy Gang: The Reup, So Icy Christmas, So Icy Boyz (Deluxe), Ice Daddy, and So Icy Summer.

As for what Gucci Mane has in store for the future, Zaytoven recently teased collaborating with him on Twitter. “Me and @gucci1017 need to do A ENTIRE PROJECT again!” he wrote. “What y’all think?”

Kool G Rap Drops “Last Of A Dying Breed” Album Featuring Big Daddy Kane & More

by

Kool G Rap has returned to deliver the seventh solo studio album of his career, Last Of A Dying Breed.

Kool G Rap was previously a key figure in the golden age of hip-hop throughout the ’80s and ’90s. Through his monumental work with DJ Polo, the duo released three classic albums together. The first of which was 1989’s Road To The Riches.

Following that, the next phase of his career came in the form of his work as a member of the Juice Crew. His unique flows and style of rapping remained at the forefront.

Beginning in 1995, Kool G Rap began to embark on a solo career and has refused to slow down ever since.

Previously released tracks include “Fly Till I Die,” “Critical,” “Scared Money” and “Born Hustler.”

On the latter, the New York native boasts, “When I asked for help, they ain’t help with shit / Got on my own two feet, been selfish since.” Through his lyrics, Kool makes it undeniably clear that he’s a force to be reckoned with.

Emotional Oranges Returns With 8-Track “The Juice: Vol. III” EP

by

Emotional Oranges has proven itself to be one of the premiere R&B duos in the game right now. When they first came onto the scene, they were largely anonymous. With backing from Rory Farrell, the group immediately began to make waves with their funky yet smooth R&B sound.

Interestingly, the group typically releases projects in eight-track bursts. Overall, this is what characterizes their “Juice” series. The group really leans into its orange nomenclature, and it makes for a very unique dynamic. Additionally, prior to Friday, there were two entries into their “The Juice” series.

Emotional Oranges Drops “The Juice: Vol. III”

On Friday, however, the group officially changed that as they dropped off The Juice: Vol. III. This is a project that had been heavily teased over the last little while. For instance, a few months ago, they gave us the single “Bounce,” which just so happens to be the first song on the EP.

Once again, the length of the tape is around eight tracks. Overall, it is a very tight project that showcases the group’s songwriting strengths. The punchy R&B tracks are filled with smooth production choices, and the vocals are on point, as per usual. Furthermore, the songs have a summer vibe to them, which will be a nice contrast while you ride out the winter.

You can listen to the new tape, down below. As always, let us know what you think of this project, in the comments section below. Additionally, keep it locked to HotNewHipHop for the latest news and updates from around the music world.

The record’s other guest appearance conversely comes from Lil Poppa on “Goodbye.”

Previously released tracks include “Girls Love Rod Wave,” “Oh Oh,” “156 Hudson,” and “No Names.”

While promoting his work on Instagram this morning, Scorey made it known that his personal favourite songs are “Bad Role Model” and “Wildest Dreams.”

Snoop Dogg, E-40, Ice Cube & Too $hort Make A Statement On Mount Westmore Album

by

For nearly two years, Snoop Dogg, E-40, Too $hort, and Ice Cube have kept teasing a Mount Westmore project. Now, it’s no secret that each rapper has left a mark on the culture but the idea of them joining forces for a collaborative project felt like a dream come true.

After a few singles to build anticipation, the four rappers came together for Mount Westmore’s new album, SNOOP CUBE 40 $HORT. The first collaborative effort boasts 16 songs with a run time of over one house. The four titans handle the project on their own for the most part. However, P-Lo does come through with the assist on “Too Big.”

During an interview with the LA Times, the four rappers explained that they created the Mount Westmore project over Zoom during the pandemic. All four of them utilized their resources to bring the project off the ground, according to Ice Cube.

“I think everybody saw an opportunity to do something bigger than just us. Something fun. Hip-hop can be so serious … but ain’t nobody having more fun than us. We all love each other, it’s like being in a group with your cousins,” Ice Cube explained.

“It felt like being a kid again, being able to be with your friends and not have to go in when the street lights come on,” Snoop said of Mount Westmore’s creative process. “We can have a friendly argument and then talk about football, basketball, whatever. We want to show the youngsters how to grow into Ice Cube, Too Short, 40, Snoop Dogg. How you can grow into your 50s and still be relevant.”

The Mount Westmore project includes the previously released singles, “Big Subwoofer,” “Too Big,” “Activated,” and “Free Game.”

Check out the new project from Mount Westmore below and let us know your thoughts in the comments.

A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie Delivers On His New Album “Me Vs. Myself”

by

After much anticipation, A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie is back with the release of his new album, Me Vs. Myself. The Bronx-bred rapper returns after a nearly two year but the results were definitely worth waiting for.

Me Vs. Myself consists of 22 songs in total with several heavy-weight appearances. The previously released singles such as “B.R.O” ft Roddy Ricch, “Take Shots” ft. Tory Lanez, “Ballin” and the Kodak Black-assisted “Water (Drowning Pt. 2)” appear on the tracklist. Additionally, the project boasts features from G Herbo and H.E.R. Lil Durk also appears twice on the project on “24 Hours” and “Damn Homie.” Frequent collaborator and Highbridge The Label artist Don Q features on “Chanelly.”

A Boogie teased as A Boogie Vs. Artist shortly after his last studio album, leading to the release of 2021’s B4 AVA. However, the rapper kept a low profile since until he announced the release date in September. Unfortunately for fans, the album was further delayed after Drake and 21 Savage pushed back the release of Her Loss.

“Sorry but album dropping in December now, Drake was dropping the same day and I’m not with that,” he wrote. Evidently, it was a good choice, considering Drake and 21 Savage topped the Billboard 200 with the highest numbers for a hip-hop album in 2022.

Though A Boogie hasn’t dropped an album since 2020’s Artist 2.0, he’s dished out numerous features, many of them alongside the budding drill stars from New York. However, he also expanded beyond New York City with collabs alongside David Guetta, Kawhi Leonard, and more.

With the release of his new album, we’re excited to see what A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie gets up to in the new year. Check out Me Vs. Myself below and sound off with your thoughts on the project in the comments. Was it worth the wait? Let us know.

Icewear Vezzo & DJ Drama Tap Jeezy, Future & More On “Paint The City”

by

Icewear Vezzo is easily one of the hottest rappers out of Detroit right now and that’s due to his incredible output. After years of grinding, he landed a deal with Quality Control earlier this year and he’s been on go-mode ever since.

Earlier today, he unveiled his highly anticipated Gangsta Grillz mixtape alongside DJ Drama, Paint The City. The new project is undoubtedly a culmination of the respect that he’s gained in hip-hop this year. Icewear Vezzo connects with heavyweights on the tracklist, such as Jeezy, Future, Kodak Black and 2 Chainz. Additionally, Vezzo joins forces with frequent collaborators Peezy and GT. Paint The City brings Vezzo alongside some of his most frequent collaborators such as Antt Beatz, Foreva Rollin, June Da Genius, and Max Beats.

The latest effort from Icewear Vezzo comes months following the release of Rich off Pints 3, which earned critical praise across the board. Paint The City is a strong effort that certainly sets the stage for Icewear Vezzo’s 2023 run.

DJ Drama witnessed a resurgence in Gangsta Grillz tapes this year as a result of Tyler, The Creator’s Call Me If You Get Lost. Even though 2021 saw the mixtape series regain popularity, he’s hosted projects by Symba, Dreamville, Jim Jones, and now, Icewear Vezzo.

Dusty Locane Drops Off “Catch Da Flu”

by

Dusty Locane’s keeping the momentum high as the year comes to an end. The rapper made a mark in 2021 as the hype around his “ROLLIN N CONTROLLIN FREESTYLE” picked up. Though critics and fans often compared him to Pop Smoke, it hasn’t limited him. In fact, he continues proving that he’s a dominant force in his own right and uplifting the New York drill scene.

This week, the rapper released his latest body of work, Catch Da Flu. On the new project, he showcases his growth in the past two years. “I went from nothing in my bank account to $40K for a feature,” he raps through his deep gravelly voice on “TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS.” The 5-song opus captures his hunger, especially after having such a prolific year so far.

CATCH DA FLU is largely produced by Kajun Waters, who handled five out of the six tracks. However, Dusty also links up with Revenge of Mozart and Scubaliciouss for “BLOC WORC FREESTYLE (9HQ5).” It’s a short effort but one that continues to showcase Dusty Locane honing into his strengths and delivering blistering bangers.

CATCH DA FLU actually serves as Dusty’s fourth offering of the year. He unveiled ROLLIN N CONTROLLIN in August, featuring all three parts of the eponymous song. Then, he linked up with Rah Swish, Onpointlikeop and Ron Suno for SAY DAT, a collaborative effort that helped amalgamate the different drill sounds in each borough of New York.

It seems as if Dusty Locane is also revving up to elevate his team. Earlier this year, he dropped off NIGHTMARE ON FIFTH, highlighting himself and the artists he’s associated with.

We’re certainly not complaining about the influx of new music from Dusty Locane this year. Hopefully, we’ll be hearing just as much from him in the new year.

  1. TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS
  2. NO VACCINE
  3. FROM DA FLU
  4. SPAZZ OUT
  5. BLOCC WORC FREESTYLE (9HQ5)
  6. MY WAY
