LL Cool J & Eminem Star In New “Murdergram Deux” Music Video

September 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Late last month, LL Cool J finally unleashed his single “Murdergram Deux” featuring Eminem ahead of his new album, The Force. An unfinished version of the track, simply dubbed “Murdergram” previously leaked online. Of course, fans couldn’t wait to hear the full version, which puts both rappers’ talents on full display.

Now, the New York-born performer has dropped a new music video to accompany the high-octane single, which has quickly become a fan favorite. The moody video is fairly straightforward and simple, allowing the song itself to take center stage. In it, the duo is seen spitting bars in front of walls covered in graffiti, speakers, and more. Listeners are certainly enjoying this latest release from LL Cool J. They have even more on the way from Eminem, however.

On Friday (September 13), he’s scheduled to drop a new Expanded Mourner’s Edition of his album The Death Of Slim Shady, which he released back in July. It’s expected to include various bonus tracks. One of them is rumored to feature production by The Alchemist, as he appeared in the cryptic and comedic trailer that dropped earlier this week. This is still unconfirmed at the time of writing. What do you think of LL Cool J and Eminem’s new “Murdergram Deux” music video? What about his new album, The Force? Are you looking forward to hearing the Expanded Mourner’s Edition of Eminem’s album The Death Of Slim Shady when it finally drops this Friday? Should these two team up again in the future?

Blueface & Jaidyn Alexis Channel Chrisean Rock In New “Mommiana” Music Video

August 31, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Since Blueface turned himself in for a probation violation back in January, fans haven’t heard much from the mother of his first two kids, Jaidyn Alexis. The rapper appears to have rekindled his romance with the mother of his third child Chrisean Rock, who’s also behind bars, instead. Earlier this month, he was handed a four-year prison sentence, but it doesn’t seem to have gotten in the way of Jaidyn’s musical career.

Today, she unveiled her new song “Mommiana” alongside an accompanying music video. The video was shared on YouTube via Blueface’s channel, and he shared a promotional snippet from it earlier today. Interestingly enough, he plays the role of a football player in the video and she plays a cheerleader. It’s unclear whether or not this was a direct nod to Chrisean’s endeavors in football, but fans certainly have their suspicions.

Jaidyn Alexis Delivers Another Lively Single

At the end of the video, Jaidyn calls for Blueface’s release. It was previously unclear where the two of them stood considering his reunion with Chrisean, but this appears to confirm that they’re on good terms. The song itself is reminiscent of Jaidyn’s other work like “Barbie,” featuring playful bars and backing vocals from Blueface. Fans are glad to see Jaidyn get back to her music, as it’s been several months since she’s dropped anything new.

In an Instagram Live after Blueface’s sentence was revealed, she clarified that while she’s not happy he’s away from their family for the time being, she still has to work to provide for them. “Sometimes y’all piss me off,” she explained. “How you so happy? B***h, I’m workin’. This is work. Talkin’ about I’m happy. You disgust me. Someone’s gotta do it … Sometimes I think y’all don’t realize that real life happens in real-time. And sometimes y’all d*mb as f**k. No shade at all.” What do you think of Jaidyn Alexis dropping a new track amid Blueface’s prison stay? What about her football-themed music video?

ASAP Rocky Shows Off His Wacky World In New “Tailor Swif” Music Video: Watch

August 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

ASAP Rocky was supposed to come out with his new album Don’t Be Dumb today (August 30), but alas, life isn’t always fair. Still, at least he clapped back at the leaks by officially releasing his song “Tailor Swif” and its accompanying music video, as this is one of many songs that emerged online unofficially. Moreover, it’s quite the wild visual set in Kyiv, Ukraine, showing off a whole host of odd characters and very bizarre situations. Overall, it’s exactly the kind of creativity that we would expect from the Harlem multi-hyphenate, and an exciting indication of the creativity this album will surely embody.

Furthermore, A$AP Rocky’s last music video was for “HIGHJACK,” and it was a similarly trippy and awe-inspiring affair. “In this very moment, it’s very grim. That’s an abbreviation,” he recently told Billboard concerning his mentality for this rollout. “It’s infusing German expressionism with ghetto futurism.” It’s probably this type of stylistic melding that prompted the rapper to link up with Tim Burton. “I sat and I played the album for Tim Burton, and he was f***ing with it heavy,” he shared. “He was rocking his head and he’s like, ‘Wow! I didn’t know you made that kind of music!’”

Elsewhere during that interview, A$AP Rocky also spoke on his love for his partner, Rihanna. “It’s crazy how we find balance with our chaotic schedules,” he remarked. “[The relationship] is going great. I don’t think there’s a more perfect person because when the schedules are hectic, she’s very understanding of that. And when the schedule’s freed up, that’s when you get to spend [the] most time together. It’s all understanding and compatibility.”

Meanwhile, other folks are making a big deal out of ASAP Rocky’s comments on his Drake beef, either dismissing them outright or itching for another go. “You got to realize, certain n***as was throwing shots for years,” he expressed to Billboard. “I ain’t in the middle of that s**t. That’s not how I retaliate right now. I got bigger fish to fry than some p***y boys. It is real beef outside. It is real. N***as getting really clipped and blitzed every day. N***as sniping n***as every day. That little kitty s**t ain’t about nothing.”

Cordae And Anderson .Paak Take Us On A Ride In “Summer Drop” Music Video

August 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Cordae and Anderson .Paak don’t get enough credit. Every song these two make together is a heater, and their latest, “Summer Drop,” is proof. We already did a rundown on the song itself, but the duo have dropped a music video to accompany it. Unsurprisingly, it is also great. Cordae and Anderson .Paak tap into the laid back vibe of the J. Cole instrumental by riding around a neighborhood with the windows down. The duo appear to be having a blast, and honestly, the energy is infectious.

Cordae is going for a very particular aesthetic on his upcoming album. “Saturday Mornings,” his last song with Lil Wayne, and “Summer Drop,” both evoke a 90s nostalgia. The way each set up is shot to evoke an old school music video, the switches to grainy black-and-white. Cordae is bringing back the rap music of his youth, but putting his own spin on it. There’s nothing kitschy or annoyingly retro about the “Summer Drop” video. It tips its cap to the summer anthems of the past while still having enough of a modern feel to connect with fans in 2024.

Cordae Evokes His 90s Childhood In New Video

A big part of why the balance works is the on screen chemistry between Cordae and Anderson .Paak. In their body language and their reference points, the duo evoke groups like De La Soul and DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince. Even the title of Cordae’s upcoming album, The Crossroads, evokes Bone Thugs. The rapper is clearly feeling wistful, and it manifests in his lyrics. “I saved up the whole summer, that’s how I got school clothes,” he raps. “I bought some Puma’s and some fake chains, that was fools gold.
“My n**ga, what you know about those hot summers? No air condition.”

Anderson .Paak, as always, balances out Cordae’s reserved delivery. The instantly recognizable singer drops a memorable opening verse about his success, and how his life has changed so much since he was a kid. “I’m in my other drop, from beanies to buckets. A hundred bucks in my Polo socks,” he spits. “Remember when summer dropped, we was at Unclе’s spot. Three n**gas with nothin’ to do but wrestle or slap box.” Honestly, we can’t wait to hear the rest of Cordae’s album.

Travis Scott Does “Drugs You Should Try It” Justice With Equally Trippy Music Video

August 27, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Travis Scott has successfully brought his fan-favorite mixtape to streaming services in DAYS BEFORE RODEO. This 2014 project holds a special place in the hearts of La Flame’s fans for a lot of reasons. It’s got some of his best-ever songs it, it shows the growth and development of the dark, psychedelic sound that they know him for. Additionally, the tape sees Travis at arguably his hungriest and most untamed state yet. When you combine all of the aspects together, you are getting a nostalgic version of the Houston artist that we probably won’t get ever again, given where he is creatively and in hip-hop overall. While that might be sad for some, it makes songs by Travis Scott like “Drugs You Should Try It” all the more special.

When we said DBR has some of his highest creative genius on it, “Drugs You Should Try It” is one of the tracks. Compared to the rest of nocturnal Southern trap you are getting on this project; this song sticks out in a good way. The guitar is such an iconic part of it, as well as the trippy, rapid-fire hi-hats. Furthermore, Scott is at his most vulnerable as he talks about loving someone, as well as all of their druggy escapades together. Ask most hardcore Scott fans and they will have this song in their top five or top 10 all-time for all these reasons listed. Adding to the cult-like aspect of the record, Travis has decided to release a music video for “DYSTI”. Like the content of the song, the visuals are equally woozy and spacey, including shots of La Flame falling down in slow-mo.

ASAP Rocky Drops One Of His Best Music Videos Yet With “HIGHJACK”

August 21, 2024 by newhiphopnews

ASAP Rocky’s comeback season is upon us. Fans have been waiting since 2018 for new Rocky music, and the rapper is finally poised to deliver. Don’t Be Dumb is slated for released on August 30. Now, we have a music video for ASAP Rocky’s new single, “HIGHJACK.” The song didn’t scale the charts when it dropped on August 2. It was, however, proof that the Harlem rapper still had what it took to make a slick, cloudy bop. The music video for “HIGHJACK,” which dropped August 21, enhances the song tenfold. It showcases ASAP Rocky in a mold that fans haven’t gotten to see in over a decade.

ASAP Rocky broke out with a singular, black-and-white aesthetic. ASAP Mob was dangerous when they first started out, but Rocky gave them a stylish flair. These strengths are on display in the “HIGHJACK” music video. It starts off minimally, but quickly descends into a beautiful, surreal collection of images. Rocky raps in different corners of the camera frame, while the perspective of the rooms around him shift. At one point, he’s seen tossing bars off in a frame reminiscent of an M.C. Escher painting. It’s all very trippy, which perfectly segues into the “HIGHJACK” chorus sung by Jessica Pratt.

ASAP Rocky Builds On His Original Aesthetic

“HIGHJACK” saves its most startling visuals for the second half of the song, though. While it’s cool to see ASAP Rocky posted up in a series of black-and-white settings, the Jessica Pratt chorus unlocks a kaleidoscope of wild imagery. Members of the ASAP Mob seemingly celebrate in slow motion, while a camera pans through various tableaus of Rocky in different outfits. A pair of hands rock rings that have the album’s title, Don’t Be Dumb, written on them. A funhouse face rocks a silver grill in the background. Most curiously, a be-speckled Rocky gets up from a bed and puts on a suit.

The music video culminates with two contrasting images. One of Rocky standing above a tall building, and other of the rapper facing the wall in a mysterious room. Neither narrative is resolved, which leads us to believe there will be more to come in future Don’t Be Dumb music videos. “HIGHJACK” may not be a smash hit, but in drumming up interest for what Rocky has next, the song and video could not have done a better job.

Eminem & Jelly Roll Drop Tear-Jerking Music Video For “Somebody Save Me”

August 21, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Eminem is now just over a month removed from his latest album, The Death of Slim Shady. Overall, the record has received lukewarm reviews from critics, although his Stans seem to be enjoying it. Since its July 12 release and debut at number one on the Billboard Hot 200, it has slowly tapered off. It’s now sitting at number 16, and only one track is on the Hot 100. That is the lead single “Houdini”, and it is also beginning to fall down the ranks with it being at 24 as opposed to 20 last week. Regardless, though, Eminem achieving quite a bit of success at this stage of his career is highly impressive. Furthermore, there are still some other tracks to pull from it, including “Somebody Save Me”, the collaborative closer between Eminem and Jelly Roll.

The emotional weight is what makes this song so special, as both respective megastars divulge into the previous battles with addiction. In the case of Eminem, he raps about an alternate reality where he wasn’t able to be there for his kids’ biggest accomplishments. In a cool but gut-wrenching way, Eminem pieces various clips from his and children’s lives together in the new visuals for “Somebody Save Me”. Perhaps the saddest part of the video is at the beginning where a younger Marshall Mathers is on the couch in a slumber (due to his drug intake) and one his daughters imploring him to get up and eat. Instead, she sends her away and tells her to “shut the door”. Thankfully, Eminem was able to fight off his demons and his vices, and it goes to show how he strong he is and how much he cares about his family.

Big Sean Drops Grim Visuals For “Yes” Single

August 20, 2024 by newhiphopnews

If things check out, we should be receiving Big Sean’s brand-new album Better Me Than You on August 31. Of course, fans were supposed to have their hands on the tape back on August 9. However, thanks to the good old leaking community, Sean decided to make some minor adjustments beforehand. That’s we and a lot of other believe, however the Detroit MC pushed it back due to wanting to plan out concerts and such. That very well may be true, but with leaks ruining so many things from dropping on schedule or at all, we feel that’s what is going on here. Depending on how you look at it, Sean was able to drop another single this past weekend with The Alchemist.

Currently, we are up to four teaser tracks, which also include “Yes”, “Precision”, and “On Up”. Out of all the ones we have heard so far, we feel that Big Sean did his best work on “Yes”, which is single number two. So far, it seems this will be the album’s biggest banger. If that’s the case, we should be in for a solid album from Sean Don. The epic and dark instrumental suits his aggressive and “no f***s given” attitude on the track. His flows and deliveries are also engaging as he hits you with his familiar cool, calm, and collected voice. Additionally, he gets a little more animated and zanier to jolt some extra energy into his already thrilling performance. To give fans more to chew over, Sean teamed up with Lyrical Lemonade to deliver some equally gloomy visuals for “Yes”. They accentuate what the song sets out to be and we encourage you to check out the creative production below.

Future & Metro Boomin Take A Victory Lap In Visuals For “Streets Made Me A King”

August 16, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Future and Metro Boomin continue to prove that they are one of the most inseparable duos in hip-hop. After assisting Mr. Hendrix on his R&B-flavored sister album HNDRXX, the superstar beat craft from St. Louis, MO took some time away from his Atlanta brother. In fact, the hiatus went from 2018 to the very end of 2022. Even on Metro’s projects NOT ALL HEROES WEAR CAPES and SAVAGE MODE II did Pluto appear. But when “Superhero (Heroes & Villains)”dropped at midnight, December 2, all was right with the world. The two trap icons were reunited and that would be the start to their rekindling. Since then, they have gone on to release a tandem of projects this year, both of which figure to be in rotation for many beyond 2024.

The most recent is WE STILL DON’T TRUST YOU, the April sequel to the March LP, WE DON’T TRUST YOU. Quite a bit of fans are coming around to the former, after a lot of them were quite let down initially. It makes sense considering the fact that the first of the two albums was more hype and dark. Of course, it’s also got tracks such as “Like That”, the title track, “Type S***”, “WTFYM”, and more. WSDTY sees more R&B and melodic cuts like the ones we got on HNDRXX seven years ago. However, to appease the masses Future and Metro gave us more aggressive cuts on disc two, such as the closing song, “Streets Made Me A King”.

The braggadocious anthem about street life making Hendrix a star is a classic theme that fans eat up every time. It may not be one of the most popular cuts, but the track is a certified banger. For these albums, the Wonder Twins have put out a handful of music videos, and WSDTY is receiving its third. You can check them out taking a victory lap over the successes with the link below.

Kanye West And Ty Dolla Sign Drop Moody Music Video For “SLIDE”

August 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kanye West can’t go more than 48 hours without a controversy it seems. The rapper was already been criticized for the messy rollout of VULTURES 2. A rollout that was months and multiple album versions in the making, mind you. Then it was suggested that West was addicted to nitrous gas, which is a story that has effectively drowned out anything that was on VULTURES 2. Despite the seemingly constant barrage of problems, Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign are forging ahead. The duo have decided to drop a music video for the first VULTURES 2 single that was released: “SLIDE.”

Let’s get the obvious points out of the way. Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign do not appear in the video for “SLIDE.” There is no performance element to the song, or famous faces scattered throughout. Instead, the video presents a single, unbroken shot of a camera moving down a city street. We see a woman in lingerie, we see homeless people in tents. We also see a vulture at one point, which, sure, why not. It’s suggested that the street in question is in a red light district, but other aspects of the video, like cars on fire, don’t exactly vibe with the theory. Overall, it feels very much cut from the concept of “No Church In the Wild,” which is to say, societal chaos.

Kanye West And Ty Dolla Capture Societal Collapse

It’s a cool video, even if it doesn’t align with Kanye West or Ty Dolla Sign’s lyrics. “SLIDE” sees West rap about impossibly wealthy parties and sexual conquests during his first verse. “Headed to the high-rise. Cruisin’ like Eyes Wide Shut (Get up),” he spits. But I slide in it like a drive-by. The industry don’t like me, tell them p**sy n**gas likewise (Get up). They tried to hit me with the cyanide.” Ty Dolla Sign’s hook is more of the same. Kanye West hasn’t provided much context about the inspiration for the song, either. When he played it during a November DJ set, he merely said: “This is madness for me, I made this with my brother Ty a few months ago.”

It’s difficult to imagine the music video for “SLIDE” will do much to boost VULTURES 2 album sales. The album pulled in 107K album equivalent sales first week, which marks the lowest first week numbers for a Kanye West album ever. The reviews have been even worse. Fans have chastised West for dropping the album despite it not being close to finished. Several tweaks have been made to the final mix, but rather than intrigue listeners, the way it did when West tweaked The Life of Pablo, it has irritated.
