Lil Baby Prepares For New Album With “5AM”

November 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Fans have been waiting for Lil Baby’s new album for some time now, and recently, they got yet another taste of what’s to come. Early this morning, the Atlanta rapper dropped off his new song fittingly titled “5AM” alongside an accompanying music video. In the Wheezy-produced track, Lil Baby’s signature flow is complemented by a hard-hitting beat. It serves as a solid teaser for his upcoming LP, which he references towards the end of the song. “Even my mama be askin’ me ‘Where is the album? We want it’ / Had to get on my business and tighten up on my mental, I’m coming,” he raps.

Lil Baby’s latest release arrives amid speculation that he’ll be teaming up with Young Thug for a song sometime soon. Earlier this month, the newly free rapper seemingly teased the collab on X. “Real plea deal jack!” his first post-prison tweet read, followed by “Wham let’s drop one on these rats peter.” This prompted a heartfelt response from Lil Baby, who made it clear he was happy to see Young Thug back home.

“I missed you mf !!” he wrote. “Welcome home my brudda! Thank god you able to get back to the fam in good health and spirits! Wish ya none but billions jack! #whateverwhamsaygoes.” Lil Baby went on to preview a new track at the Don’t Fall In Love festival in San Bernardino and was later spotted in the studio with Young Thug, Travis Scott, and Future. “5AM” also arrives amid comparisons to Gunna resulting from the A Gift & a Curse artist’s rumored beef with Young Thug.

Lil Baby Continues To Tease New Album

Quotable Lyrics:

Am I delusional? Keep tellin’ myself that it’s a good
All I know is survival and dollars, I come from the hood
Can’t be fuckin’ with that nothing at all, they couldn’t even if they could

He unveiled the project’s cover art, tracklist, and a cryptic teaser on social media at the time. The teaser didn’t provide fans with much insight as to what they could expect to hear on the album. The tracklist, on the other hand, managed to build a lot of anticipation. While it revealed that the project has either no features or hidden features, it also unveiled some of the producers who contributed to the album. This includes BNYX, 454, and more.

Now, Gibbs has provided his supporters with yet another exciting surprise, the final track on the album. He dropped “On The Set” today, produced by Pops & Mischa Chilak, along with a cinematic accompanying music video.

Dame Dash Reveals Why He Worked With R Kelly Despite Aaliyah Assault Allegations

October 18, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Recently, Dame Dash explained why he decided to appear in R Kelly’s “Fiesta (Remix)” music video, despite hearing rumors about his allegedly inappropriate relationship with Aaliyah. During an interview with America Nu Network, he said that Aaliyah was aware he’d be in the video and that he did his best to stay as far away from Kelly as possible. According to him, Aaliyah didn’t want him appearing in scenes with Kelly, which he respected.

“I didn’t want any part of it, and I told them I don’t want a dollar from it,” he described. “Her exact words to me were, ‘I don’t want to start any trouble. I just want to heal and get as far away from it as possible…’ She asked me not to be in any scenes with [R. Kelly] or take any pictures with him, and I respected that.”

“I did my shots with Jay, but I wasn’t in any scenes with R. Kelly,” Dash added. “You’ll never see me in a picture with him.” In his caption, Dash continued to elaborate, making it clear that he and Aaliyah discussed his appearance in the video beforehand.

“I’ve answered this before, but here it is again,” it reads. “When Jay chose to keep working with R. Kelly, I told Aaliyah. Her response was clear—she just wanted to heal, avoid any drama, and move forward in peace. So when it came to the Fiesta video, I made sure I wasn’t in any scenes or photos with R. Kelly. I stayed in the trailer unless my shots with Jay were being filmed. That’s the truth.” What do you think of Dame Dash’s explanation for working with R Kelly after hearing rumors about him and Aaliyah?

Big Sean & Gunna Encapsulate Humble Beginnings To Perfection In “It Is What It Is” Visual

October 15, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The goal for Big Sean’s latest album Better Me Than You in our eyes was to promote maturity and personal growth. Overall, the project mostly succeeded in that regard outside of a few detours in the tracklist. In terms of the quality, Sean Don definitely had some flashes of pure genius, but too many times did he revert back to some things that hold him back. Some of those drawbacks included sleepier performances and some awkward singing. All in all, though, we are happy to see the Detroit native back in action and there are still a few tracks that we go back to. One of those is Big Sean’s first-ever collaboration with Gunna, “It Is What It Is.” This seems to be a favorite for most that checked out this tape and it’s easy to see why.

Sean and Gunna absolutely glide over Turbo’s Latin-esque trap blend. The topic at hand is substantial enough to keep your interest as the successful MCs remember their journeys to fame and flex on the doubters. Both drop some gems, with one being, “No time to wait, I’ma hit in this Scat, hope they payin’ attention / They try turn their back on the realest / Ain’t work, what the word on me now when you fearless?” It’s pretty evident that this track has tremendous replay value and Sean recognizes that as the visual for “It Is What It Is” is here now. Given that him and Gunna are rapping with that blue-collar mentality, them choosing a decrepit-looking freight train station was a smart move. It’s a lowkey video, but it really needs nothing more. Check it out with the link below.

Kendrick Lamar Fans Notice That He Credited His Barber In “Not Like Us” Music Video

October 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Somehow, fans are still searching for new details concerning Kendrick Lamar, specifically his “Not Like Us” music video that came out months ago. Even though we’re as invested in the Drake battle as anyone else, die-hards must really be feeling desperate for new talking points or album hints if we’re out here shouting our barbers out. Fans noticed that K.Dot included barber Chris Donato Smith in the credits for the visual, along with the rest of the massive team that worked on it. In fact, if you look in the replies of the post below, some folks are under the impression that this is actually his personal barber and not for the actors on set.

Also, you will find many Kendrick Lamar haters and regular social media users alike asking different variants of the same question: Why? Why is this a topic of conversation and why do we particularly care unless our name is Chris Donato Smith or one of his loved ones? Maybe it’s a result of the Drake battle discourse reaching its peak, although we can argue that happened months ago. In addition, fans are desperate for a new album, so they’re looking for hints in the most ridiculous corners. But speaking of the Drake battle discourse…

Kendrick Lamar Fans & Haters Don’t Understand Why This “Not Like Us” Barber Credit Is Relevant: See Replies

J. Cole recently threw his hat back into the ring with his new song “Port Antonio,” on which he finally addresses the Kendrick Lamar and Drake battle lyrically. Of course, he also speaks on why he deleted his Kendrick diss track and why he “pulled the plug” on his efforts. You’ve probably already seen the huge debate that this track caused, although most of it revolves around Cole’s own decisions.

As “Not Like Us” continues to dominate, Kendrick Lamar fans have a lot of other narratives and possibilities to consider. With so much to talk about, mentioning the music video’s barber is a funny detail to meme on for a bit on the Internet based on the ridiculousness of its relevance. For the love of Top, Kendrick, please drop when you feel like it’s ready. But in the meantime, Stans will probably point out your visual’s location manager next!

Kendrick Lamar’s Music Video For “HUMBLE.” Hits Rare Milestone

October 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kendrick Lamar, while mostly more of an artist’s artist, still has loads of bangers and hits in his catalog. “B****, Don’t Kill My Vibe,” “Money Trees,” “Swimming Pools,” “All The Stars,” and most recently, “Not Like Us,” are just a handful. The other one you have to throw in there is “HUMBLE.,” easily the biggest record off of Kendrick Lamar’s DAMN. The lead single went on to debut at number two in the Billboard Hot 100. However, it would eventually climb to number one, making it Kendrick’s first-ever solo release to do so. Overall, though, it was his second, as his feature on Taylor Swift’s “Bad Blood” was the first.

What was also incredible about “HUMBLE.” was that it was the highest chart rap song at the time since Eminem and Rihanna’s “Love The Way You Lie.” Now, after seven years, the track is still doing massive numbers. According to HipHopDX, it’s fantastically creative music video (Dave Meyers, Kendrick, and Dave Free) now has over one billion views. Currently, it sits at 1,000,574,820.

Kendrick Lamar Deserves To Not Be “HUMBLE.” After This Amazing Accomplishment

It’s easily his most-watched set of visuals, with the next closest being “All The Stars” with over 465 million. This is just one more accomplishment for Lamar in 2024, as he has already been named the Super Bowl Halftime Show headliner and took down Drake head-to-head in their heated battle. Some may nitpick or view this as a fairly insignificant achievement. There’s already a lot of people hating on Lamar a ton in 2024. But overall, he’s doing some incredible things that need to be praised.

What are your thoughts on Kendrick Lamar’s music video for “HUMBLE.” achieving one billion views on YouTube? Is this a major accomplishment, why or why not?

Sexyy Red Goes On An Intergalactic Mission In New “U Kno What To Do (UKWTD)” Music Video

October 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Sexyy Red has come a long way since rising to fame with songs like “Pound Town” and “SkeeYee.” The St. Louis-born hitmaker has gone on to collaborate with the likes of Nicki Minaj, Drake, and many more. She unleashed her third mixtape earlier this year too, which has since earned her even more virality. Now, she’s dropped a music video for her track “U Know What To Do (UKWTD),” and it’s action-packed, to say the least.

In the video, Sexyy’s seen throwing it back in a hot pink bedroom, playing the role of Captain Sexyy Pants on an intergalactic trek to “yo man’s house,” and more. She even models one of her new lip glosses, deciding between shades like “Blue Balls” and “P*ssyhole Pink.” The playful visual pairs well with the expectedly raunchy single, which she first unveiled last month. Check it out below.

Sexyy Red Unleashes Space Travel-Themed Video

Sexyy Red’s latest video arrives amid her “Sexyy Red For President” tour, which she kicked off back in August. The tour is scheduled to wrap up this month with a performance in Tampa, however, she still has a slew of remaining 2024 U.S. dates. So far, she’s been joined by various special guests like Kodak Black, Ice Spice, Lil Durk, and more.

Sexyy’s latest release also comes after King Von’s sister, Kayla B, opened up about texting her from Chief Keef’s phone. The two of them have gone back and forth over the Chicago rapper in the past, but according to Kayla B, she didn’t do it out of jealousy. Instead, she claims she found several messages between him and Sexyy with her name in them, prompting her to let the “Get It Sexyy” rapper know she saw them.

Mario Revisits A Lost Love In New Single “Space”

September 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It’s been an exciting few months for Mario fans, and fortunately for them, he continues to deliver. Late last week, for example, he unveiled his brand-new single “Space.” The funky track arrived alongside a fun music video, which manages to complement the upbeat track perfectly. The song sees Mario croon about revisiting a lost romance and planning to never let it slip away again.

The song was produced by James Fauntleroy, who Mario has been working on an upcoming project with for more than a year, according to a press release. “James and I have a similar philosophy when it comes to the love of timeless music,” Mario says of working with Fauntleroy. “The omnipresence of all of the things that lends itself to the writing process. Our stories, our lives, what we observe and absorb.” At the time of writing, there aren’t many details of the project available, but it’s safe to say that fans can’t wait regardless.

Mario’s new single arrives shortly after it was revealed that he’ll be joining Mary J. Blige and Ne-Yo on the “For My Fans” tour. The trek is scheduled to begin in January of next year with performances in Boston, Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, New York City, Toronto, and more. What do you think of Mario’s new track? What about its accompanying music video? Will you be adding “Space” to your playlist or not? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Snowd4y And Drake Drop Ridiculous Music Video For “Wah Gwan Delilah”

September 27, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Drake has been moving in slightly puzzling ways since the Kendrick Lamar battle. Some of his moves have worked. The “100 Gigs” drops have been major online events. They’ve also given fans insight into some of their favorite Drake albums. Other moves have left us collectively puzzled. “Wah Gwan Delilah” is at the top of this list. The 6 God decided to team up with comedian/artist Snowd4y for a Plain White T’s cover so baffling that the band thought it was a parody. And now we have a music video for it.

Drake and Snowd4y didn’t shoot a live action video for their cover. That would have been pushing it. They did, however, decide to drop an animated music video as ridiculous as their accented take on the song. An animated Snowd4y strums an acoustic guitar amidst various landmarks in Toronto. The video real kicks off, though, when animated Drizzy shows up. The rapper is inexplicably styled to look like he did during his Views era, rather than his current day vibe. He’s even rocking a vintage OVO hoodie. It’s unclear why Drake didn’t want his braids and bulky 2020s fits animated, but we digress.

Drake Pokes Fun At Himself In New Animated Video

The music video has some genuinely funny moments. Drake and OVO Chubbs freaking out over text messages the former received, and Drake posted up on a bed with the titular Delilah. The animation style is reminiscent of South Park, right down to the minimal movement and facial expressions. To further sell the Views-era, though, the music video decides to perch animated Aubrey on top of the CN Tower that graces the album cover.

Drake has been dropping lots of loosies over the last few months. He’s had collabs with Latto, Playboi Carti and Lil Yachty. Some of them have well-liked by fans. It’s baffling, then, that “Wah Gwan Delilah” is the one that got a music video. Sure, it’s animated, but the song came out months ago. It’s a puzzling for Drake to bring attention back to the least-liked song he’s dropped in 2024. That said, he’s doing his own thing. We just hope that Drizzy and PARTYNEXTDOOR album is coming soon.

King Harris Sets The Record Straight After T.I. & Boosie Badazz Gun Confrontation

September 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Earlier this week, a video of T.I. and Boosie Badazz confronting their sons went viral. In it, King Harris and Tootie Raww are seen shooting a music video together, surrounded by extras when their fathers approach. “Why y’all always got to have guns,” Boosie questioned, suggesting that they consider making music about something else. King pushed back at the time, stating that it wasn’t illegal. The two dads didn’t care and pointed out the type of lifestyle they were promoting, whether it was intended or not.

Now, King has taken to social media to address the debacle and set the record straight. According to him, the situation was not an accurate reflection of himself. “Y’all ain’t ever seen me post a gun ever in life, I don’t even own a gun,” he said.

King continued, insisting that this is simply not who he is. “I’m not that guy,” he explained. “I’m for entertainment purposes only.” Fans are glad that King is so sure about who he wants to be, particularly as his first child is on the way, and encouraging him to stay on this path. Instagram users in the Hollywood Unlocked comments section are also commending Boosie and T.I. for trying to teach their sons the valuable lessons that they learned the hard way.

“THE POINT IS THAT [TI & Boosie] did the Right thing!!! What MANY others need to do and that’s on THAT!!” one fan points out. What do you think of King Harris’ response to the viral video of his dad T.I. and Tootie Raww’s dad Boosie Badazz confronting them for using guns in their music video? What about him claiming that he’s for “entertainment purposes only”? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.
