Trippie Redd Releases “A Love Letter To You 5”

by

After a few pushbacks on the release date, we finally have A Love Letter To You 5. This is Trippie Redd’s fifth mixtape, as well as being the fifth installment of the A Love Letter To You series. The Canton, Ohio native also put out MANSION MUSIK at the beginning of the year in January. The project received a fair amount of negative reviews, however, that did not deter him one bit. From November through December 2021, the hitmaker dropped quite a few Instagram posts that included a variety of snippets for A Love Letter To You 5.

Furthermore, Redd and DJ Akademiks sat down to talk about the mixtape. The “Love Scars” rapper proclaims that this is his best body of work and final entry of the series after a grueling three to four years spent working on this. “A Love Letter To You 5 is gonna be, if not the best body of music I’ve ever did, one of them. For sure. This is the last one. This the last A Love Letter to You so…I done put my all into it.”

Lil B’s Catalog Continues To Grow Catalog With “B-Unit”

by

Lil B continues to feed his fans more and more music. This time it is for his newest mixtape B-Unit. It comes off the heels of his June 2023 release B***h Mob tha Album which was 21 songs and over an hour long. Before that, he got more jazzy on Afriknatis.

The prolific rapper from Berkeley, California is a controversial figure in hip-hop and has been for quite some time. Furthermore, the “BasedGod curse” in sports also adds to the odd mystique of the soon-to-be 34-year-old rapper. With a style like none other, he is always going to be unpredictable. You can love him or hate him, but he will still pump out music.

Project Details

If you are going to tackle another Lil B project, you are extremely familiar with how he approaches his albums and mixtapes. However, if you are not, here are things to expect. Firstly, it contains 25 tracks and runs nearly an hour and a half long. For most of his discography, the features are limited and it is no different here with just one feature on “When I Was There (Remix), with the guest being ILOVEMAKONNEN. There are also six freestyles, two remixes, and two skits.

Atmosphere’s “Sad Clown Bad Dub 2” Finally Hits DSPs: Listen

by

As far as hip-hop duos go, Atmosphere is one of the longest-standing that we’ve seen still making music. Apart from feeding fans with So Many Other Realities Exist Simultaneously earlier this year, they’ve also got a treat for their older listeners in the form of Sad Clown Bad Dub 2. The 12-track effort finally hit DSPs this past New Music Friday, over two decades after Slug and Ant originally put it together to help generate more sales while on tour.

Per Broadway World, the series first began as a string of limited cassette tapes and CD-Rs. They’ve continued to share new installments, with over a dozen arriving since the first in 1999. Four-track demos, live recordings, behind-the-scenes footage, a mixtape, and vinyl singles are just a few of the forms we’ve heard the Sad Clown sounds come in. Of the many releases, the second iteration continues to be a fan favourite, likely explaining why the Midwest-based duo wanted it to be more readily available for their listeners.

Go Back in Time with Atmosphere’s “Body Pillow”

“It is a deeply introspective project that explores a range of complex thoughts and emotions, counter-balanced by occasional moments of darkly humorous sarcasm and wit,” the outlet praises Slug’s writing. The longtime lyricist is perhaps best known for taking the darkest moments of his own life and turning them into bars that thousands of others can relate to and seek comfort in. As for Ant, his production has always perfectly complimented his partner’s work, and listening back on their 2000s work now only proves how far they’ve come since first kicking off their careers.

Tyla Yaweh Unleashes New Album, “Heart Full Of Rage 2”

by

Tyla Yaweh has a lot of musical talents and styles, and there’s no better indicator of that than his new album, Heart Full of Rage 2. Moreover, the 16-track project boasts forays into indie rock, rage music, drum and bass, alternative, trap, and more, making it quite a dynamic listen from front to back. Of course, each listener will have their own specific niche of the rapper and singer’s styles that they latch onto. However, the album experience is actually a fun ride to go on regardless of whether you just like one or a couple of his sounds. It’s varied enough to keep your attention and throw you some left hooks, whereas there are some similar tracks next to each other that serve to compliment that phase of the project.

Furthermore, the Orlando MC and vocalist shows off a lot of catchy lyricism and melodic writing here. For example, there’s the unsurprisingly bright and breezy “SUMMER VIBES,” which benchmarks a more rock-oriented section of the tracklist. Others, like “City Of Dreams” with Chris Brown, take a more R&B-influenced and melody-heavy approach to the trap sound, and there’s a lot of chemistry on that song in particular. Tyla Yaweh also tapped Ty Dolla $ign, DeJ Loaf, Toosii, and Yung Bleu for charismatic and fitting features on their respective cuts.

If you haven’t heard Heart Full of Rage 2 yet, you can find it on your preferred streaming service and check out the tracklist below.

BLP Kosher Waves The Broward County Flag Proudly On Debut Album “Bars Mitzvah”

by

Following the success of his single, “Special K,” BLP Kosher made a strong debut with the release of his new project, Bars Mitzvah. The 19-song project sees the Florida native’s outlandish wordplay and impeccable ear for production take center stage with minimal assistance. Bars Mitzvah boasts few appearances across its tracklist; Luh Tyler and Trapland Pat assist on “Quite Frankly,” while the latter makes a second appearance on “J’z & Z’s.” Meanwhile, the legendary DJ Premier extends his co-sign to BLP Kosher on “Endless.”

The self-proclaimed Dreidel Man’s personality shines across the body of work. He highlights his Jewish faith through hilarious punchlines and pulls from his Broward County roots through regional lingo (i.e. “In Coral Springs, masked up, I’m lookin’ like I rob banks/ And I’m forever smokin’ Nazis, I’ma pass the blunt to Anne Frank” from “Special K”), as well as his penchant for utilizing a jaw-clenching flow to get his point across. However, the production draws influence from across the board – Miami, Atlanta, New York, and Detroit, specifically. However, even with the melting pot of sounds at his disposal, none of Bars Mitzvah sounds forced. As a result, BLP Kosher crafts a debut album that is unique to his upbringing in Florida while lending his flow and nasally delivery to the array of production across the album.

Who Is BLP Kosher?

The number of stars who’ve catapulted to fame through meme culture is astonishing. However, it truly takes talent to manage to eclipse the momentary fame of virality for a fruitful career. BLP Kosher has undoubtedly propelled to the limelight through his jarring image – a Jewish kid with two single wicks sticking out the sides of his head and a pair of gold fronts that gleam every time he smiles. However, his sheer skillset has helped develop a strong fanbase. The recent string of singles he’s released, like “Mazel Tron” ft. BabyTron and “Jew On The Canoe” have set the tone for his successful year thus far.

With a bit of encouragement from his friend Jew Shiesty, BLP Kosher began rapping during the pandemic. From there, he began gaining a bit more notoriety online, largely due to the number of memes that spawned surrounding his image. However, it’s his skillset that set him apart from his peers. The rapper cites local legends like Kodak Black and XXXTENTACION as influences, along with superstar veterans like Lil Wayne and Eminem. With the release of Bars Mitzvah, BLP Kosher’s shaping into one of the most exciting new voices in hip-hop right now with a hell of a trajectory ahead of him.

Yo Gotti Proves Everyone Wrong On New Gangsta Grillz Tape “I Showed U So”

by

Yo Gotti’s spent the majority of the past decade and a half establishing himself as a pivotal force in the South. Throughout the past few years, he’s released mixtapes and albums that have served as sermons for the streets. However, he’s always put his money where his mouth is, too. His entrepreneurial ventures, from his restaurant Prive to launching CMG, have turned him into a titan in the rap game, although it’s evident that recording music hasn’t been his primary focus in recent times.

Fortunately, he isn’t leaving fans empty-handed this summer. This morning, the Memphis rapper returned with the release of his new project, I Showed U So. Teaming up with DJ Drama for another installment in the Gangsta Grillz series, Gotti brings anthem after anthem that showcases how his hard-hitting flows continue to stick into the fabric of rap music. The 10-song album only includes features from Moneybagg Yo and Rich Homie Quan, allowing Gotti to speak his unfiltered thoughts.

Yo Gotti & DJ Drama Connect

A good chunk of the project finds Yo Gotti connecting with lesser-known producers and providing them with an opportunity to shine. However, Gotti does bring some star power through. Producers like Southside and the budding hitmaker, MoXart Beats, earn placements on “No Fake Love,” an immediate highlight of their project. Overall, I Showed U So is a firm reminder of Gotti’s commanding energy in the rap game.

Yo Gotti and DJ Drama’s connection on this project isn’t a coincidence. We’ve witnessed DJ Drama bring the Gangsta Grillz tape to the forefront in recent years, reconnecting with a number of artists that he worked with in the past. Gotti and DJ Drama previously connected in 2006 on Cocaine Muzik 4. Meanwhile, Drama’s already plotted some anticipated tapes with Pusha T and more. Check out I Showed U So above and sound off with your thoughts in the comment section. Did Yo Gotti and DJ Drama deliver one of the best tapes of 2023?

Lil Yachty Blesses Fans With Three-Track “Slide” EP

by

Lil Yachty has been having a massive 2023. Overall, it started with a bang thanks to his album Let’s Start Here. This album was a huge deviation from what he has done in the past. Instead of the bubblegum trap he burst onto the scene with, Yachty gave us a psychedelic rock album that was hard to ignore. There were some truly terrific songs on this project, and it continues to be lauded for its boldness. Sure, it may not have the prestige of a Tame Impala album but who cares? Yachty took a risk, and it paid off.

Moreover, singles like “Strike (Holster)” and “Poland” have been massive. Yachty has been playing with a wavy vocal aesthetic that sounds amazing. At this point, you cannot deny the fact that he has been killing it. It’s been awesome to witness, and this Friday, he decided to come back for more. The artist dropped off two new tracks called “Slide” and “SOLO STEPPIN CRETE BOY.” As it turns out, these two tracks have been put on a 3-track EP called Slide. The third track is the aforementioned effort “Strike (Holster).”

Lil Yachty Is Back

When it comes to the songs here, they all offer a similar vibe. Lil Yachty is rapping a bit more on these tracks, although the melodies are still all intact. Moreover, the production possesses a hypnotic quality that a lot of people are going to enjoy. This is yet another nice release from Yachty that will tide his fans over until the next project. Based on his recent output, there is no doubt that a new Yachty album is being heavily anticipated.

Be sure to let us know your thoughts on this latest effort from Yachty, in the comments section down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for all of the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will continue to bring you the biggest releases from the biggest artists. 2023 has plenty of great new albums to come.

Ransom & Nicholas Craven’s “Deleted Scenes 2” EP Review

by

Ransom and Nicholas Craven’s Deleted Scenes 2 is an EP with track titles sharing their name with movie titles. No samples from the respective movies appear on the songs on this project. However, a snippet from The Shining’s opening scene with the character Jack Torrance does play at the end of the opening track, “American Made.” In this project, Ransom combines creative bars with motivational truths from his own life. He drops punchlines and references with ease, never forcing the listener to dwell on them long because he’s already moved on to the next one. Lyrics like, “Look, they ain’t support your flight, shouldn’t mean they stop you from soaring,” combine motivational advice with creative imagery. Less complex but equally effective bars like, “You struggle for pennies and still you won’t change,” frequently appear, too. Ransom’s direct delivery ensures their efficiency.

Nicholas Craven’s Production Falls Short

In Deleted Scenes 2, Ransom’s verses blend well with all of Nicholas Craven’s production. However, the display is somewhat formulaic and sticks out because of the short length of the project. Every beat is either a pitched up or down soul sample loop. This method is part of Nicholas Craven’s signature style but can get repetitious here. The loop on “American Made” mirrors Ransom’s lyrics which was an effective creative decision. “Arrival” offers some pleasant strings and piano keys, while “Homefront” has a dusty guitar loop. However, Craven’s production doesn’t have the same impact as it has had on other projects. His ability to find, chop, and loop the samples is still commendable, but it is not quite as dynamic as expected on this. It’s not bad – but he has done better.

Ransom & Nicholas Craven Are Underground Staples

Deleted Scenes 2 brings two popular names in the underground together. Nicholas Craven is a producer from Canada. He’s known for his work with underground artists such as Tha God Fahim, Boldy James, Mach-Hommy, and, of course, Ransom. He’s also done several songs with fellow Canadian artist CHUNG. Craven creates ominous, elegant, or smooth soundscapes – and everything in between – for the artists he works with. Meanwhile, Ransom is an underground artist who has worked with Conway The Machine, Che Noir, 38 Spesh, and others in the gritty underground scene. However, he has made quite a name in the same space, despite the falling out of his group with Hitchcock and Joe Budden called The A-Team.

Deleted Scenes 2 Is A Good Project

Deleted Scenes 2 offers listeners who like clever bars, long but strong hooks and soul chops something to enjoy. At just under 15 minutes, those who support these techniques may restart it from the beginning after the final song ends. Ransom effectively uses his time by dropping short but impactful verses, and Craven’s production complements it despite its issues. With the featureless project, listeners get a glimpse of how well Ransom can hold down a song on his own, and he does a good job at it. The project serves as another entry in the ever-growing catalog of underground music and would be a decent point for anyone curious about this world of rap.

Tracklist

  1. American Made
  2. Arrival
  3. Body of Lies
  4. Homefront
  5. Deliver Us from Evil (Remix)

J Hus Drops Highly Anticipated Album “Beautiful And Brutal Yard”

by

Since the success of his previous album, Big Conspiracy, fans have eagerly awaited J Hus’ next solo project. The release of Beautiful And Brutal Yard marks a significant moment for the artist’s career, especially after a three-year period of scarcely releasing music. Hus kicked off the campaign for his latest album with the release of “It’s Crazy.” The accompanying marketing campaign created a sense of anticipation as billboards, police tape, and mysterious phone recordings were scattered throughout East London, breeding curiosity and excitement surrounding his next opus. 

However, the release of “Who Told You” ft. Drake ensured fans that the album’s release was imminent. With a high-profile collaboration from Drake, who has shown Hus nothing but love from the jump, the two artists topped the UK charts, marking J Hus’ second #1 single following “Must Be.” Still, the release of Beautiful And Brutal Yard showcased that he had much more in store for fans who’ve demanded for the Afroswing vibes for their summer playlists.
