Lil Baby Gets Confrontational In Brash Visual For “F U 2x”

January 3, 2025 by newhiphopnews

Lil Baby is the first mainstream rapper to drop an album in 2025. Despite that, it’s very important a release for him overall. It’s hopefully going to set the tone for how he’s going to remembered this year, but potentially going forward. If you haven’t been following the lead-up until the release of WHAM (Who Hard As Me) today, listeners have been skeptical, to say the least. For most, Lil Baby’s music has not hit the same as it did when he dropped My Turn back in 2020. The reception on a lot of his recent singles and features have also been lukewarm at best, so this project had to deliver. So far, a majority are leaning in the mid to poor rating, with a decent number of listeners praising it. But the noise really doesn’t seem to be affecting the Atlanta mainstay too much.

He revealed that he was going to drop two albums this year. The second will supposedly be named Dominique, a bit of a self-titled and potentially more personal release. That possible contrast could make sense with WHAM being a very obvious flex-heavy and in-your-face sort of album. A deluxe is also coming next Tuesday (according to the artist) so Baby is really looking to reassert his status after some quiet and disappointing years in the eyes of many. A track from WHAM that captures that type of dominant energy is “F U 2x,” one of the potential hits off the record. He decided to deliver an accompanying music video to go along with it and it further cements what Baby’s goal was for the track and LP at large. It’s a simple and confrontational black and white visual with flashy shots and imagery. Check it out below.

Doechii Is A Bona Fide TV Star In New Music Video For “Denial Is A River”

January 2, 2025 by newhiphopnews

If Doechii really wants to start her own classic sit-com, then her new “Denial Is A River” music video is the perfect pitch for it. While many fans hoped that Zack Fox, Baby Tate, Earl Sweat – sorry, Brad Pitt – and more costars would actually join her for a show of some sorts, this creative visual treatment is a very compelling alternative. It eventually switches from the TV aesthetics to a modern look along with an amazing one-take shot, going over the TDE signee’s career evolution and animated therapy session. It’s a killer move, and one that she will follow up with a special livestream with fans at 6PM EST today (Thursday, January 2).

For those unaware, Doechii previewed this “Denial Is A River” music video with some hilarious skits featuring the aforementioned stars, plus ScHoolboy Q, SiR, Teezo Touchdown, and others. They included a telenovela spoof, a slap-heavy pop-off on anyone who stepped in her way, and Zack Fox learning the hard way that Q never shares his weed. We can’t imagine what other skits this crew filmed together, and what other material could overjoy fans who looked forward to a full-on series.

Whether or not that eventually happens down the line feels entirely within Doechii’s decision, will, and ability, which is very exciting to see. This rollout for ALLIGATOR BITES NEVER HEAL, on which “Denial Is A River” is a strong highlight, continues to resonate with die-hards and new audiences, paving the way for an outstanding 2025. The Tampa femcee garnered a lot of praise and conversation last year that seems harder to live up to with each rising and praiseful remark, but she hasn’t missed yet.

Meanwhile, despite all these excellent celebrations and achievements, Doechii wants to make it clear that she’s not just here for the fun and games. She recently spoke on the depth of the hip-hop art form and how its artists must defend it against those who would rather water its soul, meaning, and values down. We’ll see what the new year brings for this rollout and moment, yet we’re sure that it will champion the culture.

Summer Walker Literally Burns Her Bridge With NLE Choppa In Tense Visual For “Heart Of A Woman”

December 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Summer Walker is really capitalizing on her upcoming album title Finally Over It with this new visual. Moments ago, the Georgia R&B singer-songwriter put out a music video for “Heart Of A Woman,” the project’s lead single. It hit streaming platforms back in October and it’s become a fan-favorite already. It’s got sharp storytelling and thematic consistency to the album, something that is always a plus. On the track, the 28-year-old GRAMMY nominee is stuck in this vicious cycle of her man doing a lot of detrimental things to their relationship. However, Summer continues to go back to him. It’s a painful but vocally stunning track and one that has us eagerly awaiting the rest of the LP.

Right now, a release date has yet to be determined, but we assume it’s going to arrive in early 2025. While we wait, we do have this music video to chew over and it’s tense and excellently directed. It plays out the lyrics of the track very accurately, as Summer continues to experience this same gut-wrenching day three times in her head. We learn that her partner commits an act of infidelity at a photoshoot that he’s also attending. In a fun twist, NLE Choppa plays her fictional boyfriend. Things continue to spiral for Summer though, as she at one point smashes a bottle on his head. However, after replaying the image in her head a third time, she decides to end things for good. While NLE takes a shower, Summer dumps gasoline in a room and drops a lit cigarette onto the floor. The fire alarm goes off before the video cuts to black. It’s chilling and it builds the world for this album perfectly.

Kanye West Enlists North, Chicago And Yuno Miles For “Bomb” Music Video

November 27, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kanye West has redefined what expectations of a great artist can be. He’s created some of the most indelible hip hop albums of all time. And yet, due to the staggering lack of quality in his recent output, he’s increasingly being relegated to a curio. He flashes greatness on occasion, but other times, it can be hard to tell if he’s messing with his fans. This is the guy who put out “Lift Yourself,” after all. Kanye West continued to confound expectations on November 27. The rapper dropped a music video for the song “Bomb.” He enlisted Yuno Miles, as well as his own children, North and Chicago West.

“Bomb” is an absurd song. The instrumental is choppy and trap influenced, but in a predictably silly manner. Those familiar with Yuno Miles know the rapper likes to border on parody with his rhymes, and he does so here with bars about “fritos” and “tacos.” North and Chicago West take the assignment more seriously. They continue the trend of rappers having their children hop on records and deliver bars that are, frankly, not very good. It sounds like Kanye West is taking his kids to work on this one. North has shown a propensity for rapping in the past, as evidenced by her appearances on the VULTURES 1 track “Once Again.”

Kanye West Lets His Children Take Center Stage

The music video focuses on North and Chicago. Kanye West’s kids drive around the desert alongside Yuno Miles. They appear to be in a race of some sort, against an assortment of colorful creatures who drive other cars. It all feels very indebted to the pod racing scene from Star Wars: The Phantom Menace (1999). There’s something to be said for the charm and the gimmick of seeing children have fun with their dad on record. The problem is, Kanye West is nowhere on “Bomb.”

The controversial rapper doesn’t spit a verse on the song. Yuno, North and Chicago drop struggle bars, but Kanye West decides to stay on the production side of things. We can’t say it really pays off. The beat for “Bomb” is not particularly special. It feels cut from the same cloth as the VULTURES 1 and 2 sessions, which is not a ringing endorsement of quality. Kanye West is working on the upcoming album BULLY. Let’s hope he takes things a bit more seriously on that one.

Megan Thee Stallion & Flo Milli Team Up For Bloody “Roc Steady” Music Video

November 27, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It goes without saying that it’s been a huge year for Megan Thee Stallion. The Houston hitmaker embarked on her massively successful “Hot Girl Summer” tour with GloRilla, dropped her new album Megan, and even followed it up with a deluxe edition. The deluxe edition, which she unveiled last month, features various brand-new tracks. It even includes a collaboration with fellow southern femcee Flo Milli.

The duo joined forces for the lively track “Roc Steady,” which was quick to become a fan favorite. Now, they’ve teamed up to drop a music video to accompany the song, pulling inspiration from the 2009 film Jennifer’s Body. So far, fans are loving the bloody video, and already demanding more music from the two rappers. Meg hasn’t been the only one keeping busy, however. Recently, Flo Milli confirmed that she’s expecting her first child following plenty of speculation. “Flo mommy sh*t,” she tweeted yesterday (November 26). “I can’t even see my coochie nomore that’s cr*zy.”

Megan Thee Stallion & Flo Milli Unleash New Music Video For Megan: Act II Collab

The new video also arrives amid Megan Thee Stallion’s legal battle with Milagro Gramz. Meg filed a lawsuit against the blogger late last month, accusing her of spreading falsehoods about the Tory Lanez shooting case. Earlier this week, Gramz filed a motion requesting to have the lawsuit dropped. “Plaintiff is suggesting here that merely liking, linking to, or talking about an online post regarding a public figure is a criminal offense,” her legal team alleges.

“Rather than rebut the allegations online, Plaintiff chose to use the Courts to intimidate and silence the Defendant from exercising her First Amendment rights to publish her opinions and beliefs and also to serve as a warning to other critics that if the Plaintiff does not like what you say about her, you will likely have to deal with a federal lawsuit,” Gramz’s legal team also alleges.

Kendrick Lamar Drops Off “Squabble Up” Music Video

November 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Well, that was fast. Kendrick Lamar has swept the hip-hop world off its feet with his brand-new sixth album, GNX. The astounding release hit the digital airwaves on Friday afternoon, and it’s been all the craze and will continue to be for quite a while. The lyrical content is of course going to shoulder that load. However, Kendrick doing extra things like a “squabble up” music video will also help a great deal. The Compton icon just dropped off the visual for it moments ago, and you can watch it below.

This story is currently being updated.

Future, Metro Boomin & Rick Ross Show Off Their “Everyday Hustle” In New Music Video

November 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

“Everyday Hustle” is one of the best cuts off of Future and Metro Boomin’s 2024 collab album, WE DON’T TRUST YOU. We don’t understand why it took this long to drop the music video, but the Rick Ross-assisted cut finally got a visual treatment… Well, sort of. Fewtch doesn’t rap in it: he just looks cool for the camera while a lot of footage of booty-shaking plays. Then, for his verse, Rozay stands in front of his private jet and flexes a lot of his material belongings, but it doesn’t seem like the most tight, concise, or unified vision. Maybe it was just some old footage they wanted to splice into a new vid on The Biggest Boss’ channel, which wouldn’t be the first time he made a feature a music video of its own.

Regardless, every single one of these artists is dealing with a lot of career and gossip stuff that probably has them busy right now. As such, the “Everyday Struggle” video came at an opportune time for them to enjoy this release and give fans a little something in the meantime. Beyond his Future and Metro Boomin feature, Rick Ross is still dealing with his “biggest opp,” as he raps on the song. He and Tia Kemp have not stopped throwing each other under the bus with scathing allegation after scathing allegation.

As for Metro Boomin, the Future collaborator recently responded to sexual assault allegations against him. “These are false accusations,” his lawyer Lawrence Hinkle III reportedly told Billboard. “Mr. Wayne refused to pay her months ago, and he refuses to pay her now. Mr. Wayne will defend himself in court. He will file a claim for malicious prosecution once he prevails.”

Meanwhile, Future recently hit the studio up with Lil Baby, Travis Scott, and none other than a recently released Young Thug. Fans wonder what this link-up resulted in, and whether or not we’ll hear new Thugger music this year or early in the next. It’s an everyday hustle for all these hip-hop artists, even if music videos don’t always turn out like some fans expected.

GloRilla Finally Reveals Her Rumored Pregnancy… For A T-Pain-Assisted “I LUV HER” Music Video

November 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

GloRilla recently released her new album GLORIOUS and engaged with a fresh new social media narrative because of it: is she pregnant? She spoke on the topic through various songs from the project, and also debuted some baby bump pictures with actor Da’Vinchi that sent fans plenty of conflicting signals. Still, a lot of fans knew what was coming: a music video was bound to show up any day now to explain why the Memphis femcee leaned into this so hard. Sure enough, we just got the new “I LUV HER” visuals with T-Pain, which shows Glo and Vinchi in a wholesome relationships that ends in marriage and a pregnancy. She may have fooled some fans, but others saw it coming from a mile away.

Regardless of whether you believed these rumors or not, the music video for “I LUV HER” is still very well-made and adorable, and a neat little narrative twist also leaves you pretty satisfied by the end. Elsewhere, GloRilla is still debating her physical transformations online, but in ways that don’t relate to a fake baby bump. Instead, it’s about fans wondering whether or not she got a BBL, rumors that she clapped back at with hilarious force.

GloRilla’s “I LUV HER” Music Video With T-Pain: Watch

Still, other GloRilla statements – particularly about relationship topics – have some fans thinking that the narrative in the “I LUV HER” music video might become reality soon if she gets her way. “Single & celibate until God send me my husband,” she expressed on Twitter recently, which started a debate around what that word really means. Regardless, it does suggest that the 25-year-old would rather hunker down on a relationship right now than mess around. Maybe she’s just trying to manifest with this new visual treatment.

In other GloRilla news, she recently got a few Grammy nominations for the 2025 awards show, which she expressed a lot of gratitude for. If she keeps her run up with more drops and music videos like these, then we can expect many more nods to come in the future. At least fans can put these pregnancy rumors to rest and be more aware of the signs once the next artist pulls a stunt like this.

Gunna Appears To Tease Another Single In Visual For “Him All Along”

November 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Overall, 2024 has been another solid year for Atlanta rapper and crooner, Gunna. Since his involvement in the YSL RICO trial, he’s been doing well to maintain a loyal fanbase amid the relentless “rat” and “snitch” labels. Of course, there’s always going to be some that will hold a grudge, but his streams and standing within the game are still very high. He’s still pulling in well over hundreds of millions of plays on songs, with 37.3 million monthly listeners rallying around him. One of Wun is his latest LP this time around, and once again there remain to be a nice collection of hits. Tracks like “prada dem,” “on one tonight,” and the title cut are arguably the main ones to list. However, Gunna has not been clear of obstacles entirely.

Right now, it seems like Young Thug is turning on his YSL brethren. That’s despite making sure he was one of the few from his crew he could work alongside and remain in communication with. A tweet and delete let us know how Thugger is supposedly really feeling. Wunna still hasn’t broke his silence on their relationship, so we are hoping these two are working things out. However, that could possibly not be the case, as a lot of the themes on One of Wun preached self-growth. Gunna preached more of the same on “HIM ALL ALONG,” his most recent release. “They was tryna stunt my growth, I been steady chasin’ my goals / N****, why you watchin’? I’m grown, n**** can’t take my throne,” he spits melodically on the chorus.

That confidence-boosting single now has a music video to go along with it and it’s a nice fit. Him and producer of the record Turbo are enjoying the finer things in life thanks in part to their hard work. Despite the opulent visuals, Gunna’s also possibly prepping fans for more. After the song concludes, a teaser of a moodier snippet plays as he hops on a private jet. Billboard and fans agree with our speculation and hopefully, it drops soon.

Lil Nas X Kicks Off New Era With “DREAMBOY” Video Teaser

November 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Lil Nas X is at a bit of a musical crossroads. The rapper has several chart-topping hits under his belt, but it’s been a bit since he made headlines for music and not controversies. Lil Nas X’s talent is not a topic of debate, but his ability to refocus the narrative on his talent and not his image is proving more crucial than ever. Enter “DREAMBOY.” The rapper dropped the video teaser for his new era, and it features a comical set up and a split personality motif that we’ve seen various artists attempt before.

The teaser runs a little under two minutes. The rapper can be seen floating on wreckage in the middle of the ocean until he gets visited by a futuristic version of himself. The futuristic version sports white and pink gear and a helmet reminiscent of a Power Ranger. “I’m a higher version of you,” this version states. “And I’m gonna help you save yourself. It’s time to remember who are you. Who you really are.” Futuristic Lil Nas X then shows regular Nas X a series of videos seemingly tied to his past. A portal then opens up in the middle of the ocean and the regular version of the rapper jumps through it.

Lil Nas X Hasn’t Dropped An Album Since 2021

Before he does, he takes note of the song playing in the background. “Wait,” he says. “I know this song.” The song in question is implied to be the titular “DREAMBOY.” The screen then cuts to black, and the text “Phase 1 Ep. 1 – Let There Be Light” appears. Lil Nas X provided more context via Instagram, writing that DREAMBOY “vanished” when the world needed him most. He has always brought conceptual heft to everything he’s done, but this new era looks to be his most ambitious yet.

It will also mark the first wave of new music from Lil Nas X in years. The rapper teased the release of his mixtape Nasarati 2 throughout 2024, but the full tape has yet to see the light of day. Instead, various cuts from Nasarati 2 have been uploaded exclusively to SoundCloud. In terms of studio releases, he has not released new material since Montero in 2021. A lot has changed since then. We’re excited to see what the rapper has in store.
