Don Toliver Balances Grungy With Wavy In Visual For “New Drop”

October 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Since coming into the game back in 2017, Don Toliver has steadily improved as an artist. Everyone knows how the story goes at this point with the Texas native. He got his big break by landing on Travis Scott’s ASTROWORLD cut “CAN’T SAY,” and since then he’s become a major face of the psychedelic trap subgenre. But after dropping Heaven Or Hell in 2020, Don began to experiment more and separate from being simply a carbon copy of La Flame. He played around with more R&B and soul on his 2023 outing Love Sick, to which some found was a bit of a mixed bag. Still, him branching out was much needed and it seems that it was more realized on HARDSTONE PSYCHO.

The more aggressive and in-your-face style boded pretty well for him across the board. He adopted the biker/metal aesthetic and did a good job incorporating it into the body of work. Overall, it helped this record become his most ambitious yet. Fans rewarded the growth and made it his most commercially successful to date, too. Songs like “TORE UP” and “BANDIT,” which are in that rock vein, are doing numbers to this day. But there are cuts doing the same that call back to his melodic upbringing. “NEW DROP” has become the fan-favorite and it’s one of ours too. The quirky, watery, and atmospheric melodies provided by Don and producers Wheezy, Dez Wright, Psymun, and Bryan Yepes are plain hypnotic. That adjective can be used to describe the visual for “NEW DROP,” which is racking up views right now. The moody aesthetic that’s on the track works its way into the video thanks to the consistent biker theme and dim lighting. Check it out below.

Megan Thee Stallion Shows Her Adoration For Houston Rap Culture With “Bigger In Texas” Visual

October 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Megan Thee Stallion, while providing a lot of bangers on MEGAN, it’s subsequent ACT II takes all gas and no brakes to a new level. If the cover wasn’t telling enough for you, it does hint at the sonic direction for these 13 new tracks. The gaudy diamond-encrusted font and her extravagant grill scream that this is going to be strictly Southern hip-hop slappers. Right on cue, you are going to put in the time machine as the Houston rapper is doing just that with the wavy synths to the familiar drum patterns. This is easily the most she has leaned into her H-Town roots in her music and most of the love letters do the era justice.

One of those prime examples is “Bigger In Texas,” the lead-off cut for this extended version of her self-titled record. The brand-new visual especially shows off her love for the Lone Star State with the over-the-top lowriders, Johnny Dang’s famous jewelry store, and plenty of cameos from artists that paved the way. Slim Thug, Paul Wall, and Sauce Walka are just a few that show love to the H-Town Hottie. As for the track itself, Meg brings her patented flow, adlibs, bars, and the whole bit and it’s a pretty impressive display regardless of how much you’ve heard this formula. There are some hilarious flashes of her humor as well with gut-busting bars like, “Pockets gettin’ thickеr and thicker, I’m tastin’ the money, it look likе I ate a few hundreds / I just hopped on a G6, I’m gettin’ head while I’m playin’ my Switch, hm.”

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.

GloRilla And Sexyy Red Drop Killer “WHATCHU KNO ABOUT ME” Video

October 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

GloRilla and Sexyy Red definitely cater to the same crowd. They know how to make instantly catchy trap songs that cater to women and men alike. GloRilla, in particular, is really having a moment. The rapper is fresh off the release of her debut album, Glorious, and it has been warmly received by fans. Many feel it showcases previously unforeseen depth to her pen game and overall persona. That said, the standouts have been the ratchet anthems, and “WHATCHU KNO ABOUT ME” is definitely one of those.

GloRilla and Sexyy Red sound perfectly at home on the bouncy beat to this new single. They knew they were hitting on a potential smash here, so it makes sense that this would be the song to get a video as soon as Glorious dropped. “WHATCHU KNO ABOUT ME” is not an instance of a music video trying to be artsy, or too clever for its own good. It gives the fans exactly what they want, which is GloRIlla and Sexyy Red shaking and rapping along in outrageous outfits. The two rappers are clearly having a ball during the video. The settings alternate between a barbershop and a bright pink background in which Glo and Red brandish increasingly bold looks.

GloRilla And Sexyy Red Bring Out The Best In Each Other

Fans have been waiting for GloRilla and Sexyy Red to link up on a song, and “WHATCHU KNO ABOUT ME” delivers on both the sonic and visual front. The video is fun, and easily rewatchable. The song is even better. GloRilla kicks things off with an energetic and stylish verse. Sexyy Red, of course, comes in with her trademark flow on the back end of the song. There’s a lot to like about the track, especially its bouncy, seemingly unstoppable instrumental.

“WHATCHU KNO ABOUT ME” is also one of the brightest Sexyy Red features in a minute. GloRilla seemingly brings the best out of her, and she delivers an enthusiastic guest verse. “You play with me, I put a pole in your teeth,” she spits. “I-I-I’m with my peoples, and we comin’ fifty deep. Ye ain’t know I was a hitta ’cause I’m always lookin’ fleek. C-C-Cash out new ball, AMG.” The enthusiasm comes across in the video. If this single is any indication of the rollout Glorious is going to have, then we’re in for a good time.

Latto Leaves Her “Brokey” Behind In New Music Video

October 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Latto continues to roll out Sugar Honey Iced Tea, and what would that process look like without a visual for one of the album’s biggest hits? The “Brokey” music video is finally here, and with colorful visual effects, guests like Rubi Rose, and a couple of interesting set pieces, it certainly succeeds at crafting an engaging, fun, and fitting treatment. Not only that, but the Clayton County femcee also included a short visual for a snippet of the track “There She Go,” so fans got a little bit extra. Overall, it’s definitely a music video highlight for the year, and one that shows her charisma and sense of humor quite well.

However, folks who remember the conversation around this song when it dropped know that it was a pretty controversial discussion. Many felt that “Brokey” looked down on less successful citizens who couldn’t afford luxurious gifts for their partners, a narrative that Latto quickly sought to combat. “I hate that y’all think I was calling hard workers brokeys [broken heart emoji],” she tweeted. “So I got $10k for whoever make the best video at they job to brokey & I’ll fly u out to be in the music video…no mo waiting til ur bday to go outta town. Tag me & hashtag #Brokey so I can see them all.”

Latto’s “Brokey”: Stream & Watch The Music Video

Then, a woman went viral for getting fired from her job at Waffle House for doing the “Brokey” challenge, but she ended up winning. Latto flew her out and she appeared in the music video. Seeing this full-circle moment was a treat to see, even if the visual doesn’t do much to go against the initial criticism of the song. Regardless, this context does make the viewing experience pretty interesting for those in the know.

Meanwhile, other Latto fans are more concerned with rampant relationship rumors around her, which she recently discussed with Angel Reese and Mariah The Scientist for the former’s podcast. Alas, they are no closer to finding her man for certain. Still, thanks to tracks and music videos like “Brokey,” we can assume that whoever Latto’s partner is has the will and money to treat her lavishly.

Eminem Reveals He’s Going To Be A Grandpa In His Touching New ‘Temporary’ Video

October 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

One of the best songs on Eminem‘s The Death Of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce) is “Temporary,” a sweet ode to the rapper’s daughter, Hailie Jade. The music video for the track is equally touching, with home video footage of the two of them. It culminates with Hailie Jade giving her dad a Detroit Lions jersey with “Grandpa” on the back. That’s right, Eminem — who once rhymed “I smacked him in his face with an eraser, chased him with a stapler” with “and stapled his nuts to a stack of paper” — is about to be a grandfather. To quote Em himself: damn.

You can watch the music video for “Temporary” (which features vocals from Skylar Grey) above.

Hailie Jade discussed her reaction to “Temporary” and “Somebody Save Me,” which depicts an alternate reality where Eminem died when she was young, on a recent episode of her Just A Little Shady podcast.

“Speaking of things I watched this past week, which I guess I’ll say watched, but I refused to watch again — the ‘Somebody Save Me’ music video is out and I did watch the thing. I don’t think I can do it again. I definitely cry every time I hear it at all,” she said. “Between that and ‘Temporary,’ OK, well, that I listened to and it broke me. I audibly sobbed I think for both songs, but especially ‘Temporary.’”

Eminem Touchingly Announces His Daughter’s Pregnancy In “Temporary” Music Video

October 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Eminem continues to hearten fans and draw a couple of tears from them, as he just dropped the music video for his The Death Of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce) cut “Temporary” featuring Skylar Grey. The song and visual is a touching tribute to his daughter Hailie Jade, with the lyrics hypothesizing on the Detroit rapper’s final message to her before his eventual passing. The visuals show old home video footage of Hailie, tearful moments at her wedding, and even the reveal that she’s expecting a child. We can’t believe that Marshall Mathers will become a grandfather soon, and from the looks of it, he can barely believe it either.

“I watched it in entirety and I don’t think I can do it again,” Hailie Jade recalled her reaction to Eminem’s “Somebody Save Me” music video featuring Jelly Roll, another family tribute. “I definitely cry every time I hear it at all. Between that and ‘Temporary’… I mean, I can’t. I audibly sobbed, I think, for both songs, but especially ‘Temporary.’ Watching the [‘Somebody Save Me’] video back and listening to the songs, I feel like my parents did such a good job growing up where I didn’t realize how bad things were.

“I think that’s why I get emotional so much just thinking that that could have happened,” Hailie Jade shared concerning Eminem’s addiction struggles and near-death experiences. “And obviously that’s the point of the song. But I will say, if you’ve ever lost an addict or loved one, I feel for you.” “The older I get, the less I can listen to any of the songs,” she said of “Mockingbird.” “I’ve done enough crying and I told myself I refuse.”

However, Eminem and Hailie Jade aren’t the only ones who got emotional from these milestones. “I wish I had a daughter, I do, I wish I had a daughter,” 50 Cent recently told Haute Living of Hailie’s wedding. “I wish I had that [father-daughter] relationship. For female children, their dad is the first man they fall in love with. Male children go to their mom; I’m a mama’s boy myself. It was unbelievable, the wildest thing for me, period. I was like, ‘Yo, bro, this is cr*zy. We’re getting old. Your baby is grown. What the f**k is going on?’ I was having a moment myself over there. I told Em, ‘You said it was OK to cry? Because I’m crying.’ I couldn’t believe it went that fast.”

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. What do you think of Sexyy Red’s new “U Kno What To Do” music video? What’s your favorite part? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Rich Homie Quan’s Team Releases Tear-Jerking Music Video For “Song Cry”

September 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Rich Homie Quan was sent off with a beautiful celebration of his life just two weeks ago, but it feels like a lifetime already. Every day that passes by without the Atlanta rapper seems like a decade has gone by. What we are trying to say is that us, along with the rest of the hip-hop world, miss him dearly. His funeral service showed that, as there was a massive turn out thanks to Quan’s father allowing the public to come and remember the beloved MC. The words spoken by fellow artists, DC Young Fly, and more show just how much he meant to everyone he came across. Whether it was his music or in-person interactions, he clearly touched many lives. Thankfully, the estate of Rich Homie Quan understands that because they have just dropped visuals for his posthumous record, “Song Cry”.

The song dropped just a day before the service, and it is a hard song to get through without tearing up. The same goes for the video, as it includes shots prior to his shocking death and the funeral, according to TMZ Hip Hop. Shots include some emotional reactions from all walks of life, as well as some white doves flying away at his burial site. It has been easy getting through this for anyone as evidenced by longtime girlfriend, Amber Williams. “This has to be the toughest thing I’ve ever endured,” she said in a tribute. “Don’t even know how to gather my words”. You can check out the new music video with the link below. Thoughts and prayers from the HNHH team continue to go out to the loved ones of RHQ.

The Weeknd & Playboi Carti Share Minimalistic Visuals For Hit Collab “Timeless”

September 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Brazilian fans of The Weeknd were treated to some previews of his upcoming album Hurry Up Tomorrow. During the performance, Playboi Carti joined him onstage to give the rambunctious crowd a taste of what we now know to be “Timeless”. The superstars have been developing their relationship for the last year or so since the release of “Popular” last summer. So, it’s nice to see that Abel felt it was necessary to include him on his supposed final Weeknd album. So far, it seems that the Canadian multi-hyphenate is looking to give us an amalgamation of the sounds we have gotten on his last two projects with some callbacks to his earlier work too.

On “Timeless”, The Weeknd and his stacked team of producers blended some incredible shots of synths and contemporary trap production. It allowed Abel to effortlessly switch between his rapping and his delicate singing. Additionally, Carti drops the controversial deep voice for his OG high pitch delivery, making the track that much better. It seems that fans are in agreement with us on it too because the streaming numbers have been off the charts. In just the first 24 hours on Spotify, it racked up over 10 million plays. Currently, it’s over 24 million. These two new they had a hit, so it’s no surprise we have visuals for “Timeless” as of today. In comparison to the video for “Dancing In The Flames”, this one is not nearly as dramatic. It’s darker and grimier, with The Weeknd and Playboi rocking dark attire to match the cavernous vibe. It’s fairly minimalistic, as the locations rarely change from the plain black backdrop. Check out the music video below with the attached embed.
