Flo Milli Drops Off Extended Version Of “You Still Here, Ho?”

by

Flo Milli is still here, whether you like it or not. The Alabama-based rapper came through in 2022 with the release of her debut album, You Still Here, Ho? The body of work included 17 songs in total and made a strong statement of her presence in rap. She isn’t necessarily diving into the same lanes as other women in rap but making her own strain of poppy, gruff, and overall, infectious bops. You Still Here, Ho? became a statement that let everyone know that she’s only going up from here.

Unlike most major label debuts, Flo Milli didn’t need A-List collaborations or any other assistance to get her point across. She handled the majority of the project on her own with features from Babyface Ray and Rico Nasty. However, she didn’t hold out on fans since then, coming through with a bunch of new singles to get them amped for what she had in store in 2023. Now that we’re here, she finally shared the deluxe edition.

Lola Brooke, Gloss Up & More Appear On Flo Milli’s Re-Release

Even as fans continue to keep You Still Here, Ho? On repeat, she doubled back with the official extended edition of the record. Flo Milli tacks on another three songs with a few more features to flesh out the project. Lola Brooke and Maiya The Don appear in “Conceited (Remix),” which arrived earlier this year. The two artists elevate the original with their unique voices. Meanwhile, Gloss Up and Monaleo, who Flo Milli collaborated with on “We Not Humping (Remix),” join forces on “Bed Time.” Finally, the previously released, “Nasty Dancer” also appears on the tracklist.

The re-release comes at a particularly exciting time in her career. Flo Milli is expected to hit the stage at Coachella next month following her performance at BOSE and NME’s C23 showcase at SXSW. Though she previously hit the road for a headlining tour in late 2022, we hope that she’ll be hitting the road again this summer and bringing her bops with her city to city. Check out the deluxe edition of her new album above and sound off with your thoughts in the comments.

03 Greedo Delivers His First Post-Prison Album “Halfway There”

by

The West Coast legend 03 Greedo returned home this year. The rapper began serving a 20-year sentence over four years ago on guns and drug charges. At the time, 03 Greedo was beginning to come into his own with projects like God Level as he helped redefine the West Coast in the post-YG era. Unfortunately, his numerous attempts for parole were denied until earlier this year, though he wasn’t entirely free just yet.

The rapper was released to a halfway house where he’ll have to be for up to 6 months and is only allowed a five-minute phone call each week. He continues to half a battle in front of himself until he’s fully out but he’s made the most of his time. “Where I am I just want to see my daughter and record music,” he said. “I wish I could have released alot more music while I was away. So, I have this chip on my shoulder to just go record n drop at least 12 tapes before my major album and I honestly just don’t want to talk to alot of people yet. I got a lot I want to clear in my head first.”

03 Greedo Makes His Comeback On “Halfway There”

Though he’s not entirely free, he remains optimistic in the face of adversity. The rapper came through this week with the release of his new project, Halfway There. Consisting of 33 songs in total with a runtime of over an hour and a half, 03 Greedo certainly has plenty of things he wanted to get off of his chest. The project boasts production from BIGHEAD, Lex Luger, Sledgren, Harry Fraud, and plenty of others.

Ahead of the project’s release, 03 Greedo unveiled singles like “Bacc Like I Never Left” and “Buss Me Script,” ft. Maxo Kream. Though there isn’t an overwhelming amount of features, Halfway There include appearances from Babyface Ray, Rich The Kid, Ty Dolla $ign, Skilla Baby, and Peso Peso. From top to bottom, 03 Greedo reminds fans of his consistency and prolificacy without missing a beat across Halfway There. Check the project out above and sound off with your thoughts in the comments. 

Hit-Boy Is Much More Than A Producer On “Surf Or Drown”

by

Hit-Boy produced for some of the best rappers alive but now, he’s rhyming alongside them on his new album, Surf or Drown. The Fontana, CA-based artist came through with bars for his latest studio album, which arrived in the wee hours of the morning. The project consists of 11 songs in total. Hit-Boy raps alongside Nas, Dom Kennedy, Jay 305, The Alchemist (who’s also rapping), Curren$y, Devin Morrison, and plenty of others. However, Hit-Boy also added on another 10 songs of instrumentals.

In the past few months, Hit-Boy upped the ante as a rapper with several records. With singles like “Tony Fontana” with Curren$y and “2 Certified” ft. Avelino, Hit-Boy ramped up the anticipation for the project. However, it wasn’t until his feud with Hitmaka that the rollout became more evident. Hit-Boy delivered the single, “Slipping Into Darkness” with The Alchemist, where he took shots at Hitmaka, Metro Boomin, Southside, and Mustard, claiming that they can’t see him on a production level.

Hit-Boy Latest Album Comes On The Heels Of “King’s Disease”

The release of Hit-Boy’s new album arrives after the success of the King’s Disease series with Nas. Last year, Nas and Hit-Boy dropped off the third installment in the series – less than a year after dropping Magic. King’s Disease proved to be a fruitful collaboration between the Queensbridge legend and the “SICKO MODE” producer, which aided both of their careers. Nas earned his first Grammy, thanks to Hit-Boy, while the producer showcased the breadth of his talents behind the boards.

In addition to his new album, Hit-Boy has a few collaborative efforts in the works, including new music with Benny The Butcher. On top of that, word is that he’s working on King’s Disease 4 with Nas, which reportedly includes a feature from 50 Cent. Additionally, Belly hinted that he’ll be working closely with Hit-Boy on new music. Hopefully, we’ll get to hear that sooner than later. For now, check out Hit-Boy’s new Surf Or Drown album and sound off with your thoughts in the comments.

  1. ​​“Big Hit Intro”
  2. “The Tide” feat. Nas
  3. “State Champ” feat. Dom Kennedy and Jay 305
  4. “Corsa” feat. Dom Kennedy

Danny Brown & JPEGMAFIA Let Loose On “Scaring The Hoes”

by

When you think about some of the more unique artists in hip-hop, Danny Brown & JPEGMAFIA should immediately come to mind. Firstly, Danny Brown is known for making some incredibly dark music. Moreover, his voice is a cut above the rest, and fans have grown to love his delivery. Secondly, JPEGMAFIA is someone who can operate within numerous genres. Additionally, his production is glitchy and abrasive, but also melodic in a way that you wouldn’t expect.

Recently, these two announced that they would be dropping a collaborative project together. Ultimately, fans of these two were extremely excited. There is quite a bit of overlap between these fanbases, so it only made sense for them to link up. As for the project, they both decided to take a self-aware approach to the name. Once Danny Brown & JPEGMAFIA revealed that they would call the album Scaring The Hoes, the fans collectively said: “Yup, that makes sense.”

Danny Brown & JPEGMAFIA Are Truly Unique

Immediately upon listening to this album, you are going to get hit with a barrage of interesting beats and melodies. On the first track “Lean Beef Patty,” both artists trade bars over horns, glitchy 808s, and some faint soul samples. From there, you get tracks like “Garbage Pale Kids” that have more of a metal vibe. Furthermore, it should be noted that the names of these songs lend themselves well to the auditory aesthetics. When you see a song called “Fentanyl Tester,” you know you are in for a trip.

Overall, this album is not going to be for everyone. However, if you are into this time of music, then this is going to be one of the best projects of the year.

6LACK Drops Gorgeous New Project “Since I Have A Lover”

by

6LACK is certainly one of the best voices in R&B. Unfortunately, in the eyes of fans, he hasn’t been dropping enough music. Although he did come through with an EP a while back, his last full-length project was East Atlanta Love Letter in 2018. Overall, it has been close to five years since fans have gotten an LP from the artist. Now, however, 6LACK is back with perhaps his most personal project yet. Yes, that is correct. Since I Have A Lover is finally here, and it is most definitely a glorious undertaking at 19 tracks in length.

Over the course of the last few months, 6LACK has been teasing the release of this new album with various singles. The title track “Since I Have A Lover” and “Talkback” have proven to be absolute musts for any R&B playlist. In fact, the former of these two tracks has a unique indie rock feel to it as we get delicate yet shimmery guitars. It’s a nice departure from the brooding and dark R&B tracks that 6LACK came onto the scene with.

6LACK Demonstrates Growth With His New Body Of Work

These unique production choices can be found all throughout the 59-minute runtime. Consequently, this makes for a diverse album that has a little something for everyone. Additionally, it is clear that 6LACK has been doing a lot of growing as an artist. He is currently on a healing journey and is actively trying to be a better partner. These themes are all throughout the project and it makes for a refreshing listen.

Overall, 6LACK has knocked it out of the park with this new project. While day-one fans might need to get used to this new direction, they will most definitely come around. As always, give us your thoughts on this project, in the comments below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates from the hip-hop world.

Alex Vaughn Gets Real On “The Hurtbook (Homegirl Pack)” Album Feat. Summer Walker, Ari Lennox, And Muni Long

by

Last October, Alex Vaughn blessed our ears with The Hurtbook, on which her sweet and soulful voice rings out over eight featureless tracks. After leaving that to digest with listeners through late 2022 and into the new year, she returned this New Music Friday (March 17), with the Homegirl Pack version of her project, which boasts some seriously impressive guest features. For one, we hear her LVRN labelmate Summer Walker on the “So Be It (Remix),” which has already been streamed upwards of 4.5 million times on Spotify.

Dreamville’s own Ari Lennox comes through on the next title, “Demon Time (Remix),” which beautifully blends her voice with Vaughn as they trade raunchy verses over the silky smooth beat. “Love it when I’m drippin’ on you, grabbin’ on my neck / Watchin’ you, watchin’ mе, I’m the best you evеr had,” the “Needs” songstress croons on the refrain.

Alex Vaughn and Ari Lennox are Operating on “Demon Time”

For her part, Lennox sings about her incessant hunger for a jaguar, whom she’s willing to climb a tree for. “Talking to some dudes, but I’m f*ckin’ you / Satisfied / Oven toast you right for that creamy pipe / Let it stay inside,” her flirtatious lyrics continue before both women come together to make music magic on the chorus.

Elsewhere on her updated project, Vaughn tapped singer-songwriter Muni Long to help her with “IYKYK.” As expected from the two beauties, the track is quickly picking up traction and earning the praise it deserves online. “Thank you so much @arilennox @munilong @summerwalker for sharing your gifts w me on this project,” the young starlet wrote on Instagram earlier this weekend. “I am so grateful. y’all are SUPERHEROS.”

“Lil Pump 2” Album: Rapper Collabs With NBA YoungBoy, Ty Dolla $ign, And More

by

Gucci Gang rapper Lil Pump released his long-awaited third studio album, Lil Pump 2 this weekend. The project features the high-energy trap music that the rapper is known for, along with a few surprises. Among them is “Pump Rock x Heavy Metal,” a rock song that features metal elements. There are also guest appearances from artists like YoungBoy Never Broke Again, Rio Da Yung OG, Smokepurpp, Ty Dolla Sign, and G4 Boyz. The new release speaks about the subjects you’d expect from Pump: drugs, women, money, and guns.

Musically, LP2 is similar to his previous work as most of the songs have a catchy hook, a heavy, hard-hitting baseline, and strong 808s. It’s worth noting that this project, like his past releases, has its high and low moments. “I Don’t Mind” featuring YoungBoy Never Broke Again is widely considered one of the best songs on the album, while the aforementioned “Pump Rock x Heavy Metal” was met with more trepidation. Thus far, the reception to Lil Pump 2 has been mixed. While some fans are enjoying the 16-track effort, others feel like it’s more hit or miss.

Lil Pump 2 is Here

Lil Pump has been working on this album since 2019, completely dedicating himself to the follow-up to his 2017 self-titled project. In 2022 the artist made a since-deleted Instagram post hinting at LP2‘s existence. At the time he teased, “’Lil Pump 2’ is a masterpiece I can’t wait for you guys to hear it.”

Additionally, the 22-year-old made reference to it in an interview with Inked Magazine last year, claiming that the album would be released in August 2022. He said, “Yessirski! It’s dropping in August around my birthday. It’s about to be crazy. This is gonna be a masterpiece.” Lil Pump 2 is a solid reminder to the public of who he is and what he’s capable of. Will you be tuning in? Let us know in the comments below.

Lloyd Banks Announces “The Course Of The Inevitable 3: Pieces Of My Pain”

by

Though he’s not attached to G-Unit, Lloyd Banks proved that the PLK title still sticks with Course Of The Inevitable. The 2021 album marked his first studio album in 11 years and fans never forgot about him in that time. The project boasted appearances from lyrical mainstays – Freddie Gibbs, Benny The Butcher, Styles P and Roc Marciano. The collaborators, both new and old, helped Banks as he showcased that he solidified his place in rap history. 

The following year, Lloyd Banks returned with the sequel, Course Of The Inevitable 2. Once again, he locked in with fierce lyricists who only forced him to step his game up. Benny appeared, again, along with Conway The Machine, Jadakiss, Dave East, Vado, and Tony Yayo. The second installment in the Course Of The Inevitable series confirmed Lloyd Banks wasn’t about to head out on another 10+ year hiatus. But, even as fans continue to stream COTI 2 heavily, Banks still has more in store for his dedicated fanbase.

Lloyd Banks Announces New Album

On Friday, March 17th, Lloyd Banks confirmed that COTI is a trilogy. He shared a trailer for his forthcoming project, Course Of The Inevitable 3: Pieces Of My Pain on his Instagram page. The dramatic black-and-white teaser features a voiceover from Brandon Chastang, who provides a passionate motivational speech that speaks directly to the core of Banks’ latest project. “When you look in the mirror, you are alone. No friends, no family. Just you,” he says.

As Chastang continues to speak about the inner battle that people face as eerie production from Cartune Beatz plays in the background. “Stay the course, no matter how long it takes,” Chastang adds. “Through the ups and downs, embrace pain. Embrace the fear of the unknown. Everything you go through is a lesson. It’s never a loss.” Lloyd Banks didn’t announce a release date for COTI 3, though he provided fans the option to device when it should drop. Perhaps, we’ll see it arrive sometime this summer. Check the trailer above. Who do you want to see Lloyd Banks collaborate with on Course Of The Inevitable 3: Pieces Of My Pain? Let us know in the comment section below. 

Money Man Drops Gems On New “Red Eye” Mixtape

by

Money Man stands as one of the most underrated rappers in the game and it’s evident on Red Eye. Not just because of his output and consistency but his business acumen that’s turned him into one of the most successful independent rap artists. From signing with Cash Money to later buying himself out of his own contract, he developed a cult-like following of fans who look to him for inspiration, motivation, and gems on getting rich (i.e. $1M Bitcoin advance).

Over the past few years, fans have grown accustomed to receiving numerous projects from Money Man. During the pandemic, he came through with back-to-back releases. He dropped Epidemic, followed it up with an extended version then blessed fans with State Of Emergency. Even though each of the titles reflected the COVID state everyone was stuck in, Money Man brought motivational music to help people get through it. Last year, he blessed fans with two of his best project to date: Big Money and Blackout, as well as its extended version.

Money Man Taps Babyface Ray, Peezy For “Red Eye”

Though he kept lowkey since the top of 2023, Money Man came through with a statement with his latest project, Red Eye. The rapper’s new project consists of fourteen songs in total with a select few features, largely from Detroit counterparts. Babyface Ray helps kick the project off on Money Man’s “Drums,” which led to the album’s release. Then, Peezy comes through with an impressive verse for “Latest Gen.” Additionally, Juney Knotzz appears on “Atmosphere.”

The production of the project also helps showcase Money Man’s versatility. Though his muddy trap efforts helped build his empire, his latest project finds him exploring different genres. Perhaps, that’s as evident as the collaborations on the project. Blameswagg holds down the majority of the production on Red Eye. However, Money Man also connects with CorMill, Alawais, ProdTao, Flexotb, Oj beatz, Cubeatz, and more to flesh out his latest project. Check out Money Man’s new album, Red Eye above. Is Money Man the most consistent rapper in the South right now? Let us know in the comment section below.

  2. Biggest Lie
  3. Insane

Lil Keed’s Posthumous Album, “Keed Talk To ‘Em 2” Features Big Sean, Trippie Redd, Young Thug, And More

by

As the one-year anniversary of Lil Keed’s untimely death approaches, his estate and Young Stoner Life Records are doing their part to keep his legacy alive. Today (March 17), they shared the late rapper’s Keed Talk To ‘Em 2 album, which includes a host of impressive collaborators. Ahead of the 20-track effort’s debut this weekend, we heard “Long Way To Go” and “Self Employed” as featureless singles, proving just how much talent we lost with his passing last May.

Some of the more established names on the tracklist include Big Sean, who helped out with “Hottest,” as well as NAV. The Canadian lent his talents to “Muso Kuso,” while Young Thug assisted on both “All I Wanna Know” and “Big Bag” with Dolly White. Additionally, Offset came through with bars for “How Many,” which has quickly emerged as a favourite amongst Lil Keed fans so far.

Lil Keed and Big Sean Remind Us They’re the “Hottest”

Other well known artists who helped bring the posthumous project to life include Trippie Redd, KayCyy, Karlae, Fridayy, and his brother, Lil Gotit. As The Source notes, an extra special person was in charge of executive production – the Atlanta native’s 4-year-old daughter, Naychur Render. It serves as a follow-up to the original Keed Talk To ‘Em that arrived in 2018 with appearances from 21 Savage, Lil Yachty, Brandy, and more.

Check out Lil Keed and Big Sean’s collaborative effort, “Hottest,” on YouTube above. Afterward, tell us which Keed Talk To ‘Em 2 collaboration you’re most excited about in the comments. Make sure to check back later this weekend for more release recommendations on our Fire Emoji playlist.
