November 9, 2023 by newhiphopnews

'Rap Shit' 202 Aida Osman as Shawna — MAX

(WARNING: Spoilers for this week’s Rap Sh!t episode will be found below.)

The events in the second episode of Max’s Rap Sh!t season two, titled “Heavy Traffic,” are soundtracked by songs that help to accentuate the emotions behind each scene. You can find a list of them below and details about the scenes the records were heard in.

Hood Brat, A.Chic, TT The Artist, Raedio — “Call Me Daddy”

We hear this record during the opening scene of “Heavy Traffic” as Shawna, Mia, Reina Reign, Duke, and Francois film a TikTok on their tour bus. The group shows off the bus and their new tour lifestyle to their followers with the video.

Smino — “Settle Down” Feat. Cory Henry & Ravyn Lenae

Smino’s Luv 4 Rent record plays around the 3:03 mark as Shawna & Mia get ready for their first performance. The duo is dressed in aprons as they believe that they’ll be matching Reina Reign, but Duke informs them that Reina will not be on theme with them which frustrates both Shawna and Mia.

Nardo Wick — “G Nikes” Feat. Polo G

Nardo Wick’s track with Polo G is heard around the 4:42 mark as we check in with Lamont and his daughter Melissa. Due to an early release from her school, and the unavailability of Lamont’s grandmother and Mia’s mom, Lamont is forced to bring Melissa to the studio with him as he works with an artist.

Reina Reign — “Tongue (Remix)” Feat. Shawna & Mia

Around the 6:38 mark, this track plays as Shawna & Mia take the stage with Reina Reign to perform their remix of “Tongue.” Though the performance went well, it’s clear that Shawna & Mia aren’t on the same page during this performance. Shawna, frustrated by how she and Mia looked on stage, confronts Mia about their performance, but it doesn’t go too well.

Raedio & Lord AK — “Suicide Mission”

We hear this song around the 13:08 mark as Lord AK goes on stage to begin his performance. Shawna, impressed, is in the crowd watching the performance before she’s pulled away by Duke and Mia to go to Lord AK’s green room.

Future — “Like Me” Feat. 42 Dugg & Lil Baby

Future’s I Never Liked You song plays around the 17:13 mark as Duke finally gets into Lord AK’s green room where the party is live and active. Duke meets one of Lord AK’s closest associates, Gat, and offers him some party favors to enhance his party experience.

Ron Suno — “Door”

This track plays around the 18:42 mark as Duke finds Shawna & Mia in the party. She’s clearly under the influence after taking a bit of cocaine with Gat. Duke launches into an energetic rant about making money and finding opportunities that leaves Shawna and Mia very confused.

Dear Silas — “Smoke” Feat. Sauce Father

Around the 19:45 mark, the track can be heard as Mia joins the fun of the party to play a game of flip cup with a gentleman we later find out to be Courtney Lou, the artist that Lamont told Mia to look out for. Meanwhile, Shawna stumbles into a few awkward moments at the party including one where she’s told that she gives “Rapsody vibes… if she was a hoe.”

Peachcurls — “Ass Shaker”

Peachcurls’ track can be heard around the 22:19 mark as the party in Lord AK’s room is still going strong. Shawna tries to talk to Gat but he pays her no mind. He instead kicks off a game where the winner will get to go on Lord AK’s tour bus. This game does nothing but show Gat’s colorism, and when Shawna calls him out for it and flexes her rap knowledge, he rudely sprays her with champagne.

Baby Rose — “Fight Club” Feat. Georgia Anne Muldrow

Baby Rose’s Through And Through highlight plays around the 28:27 mark to close the episode as Shawna cleans herself after she is showered with champagne by Gat. She’s also frustrated by the disconnect between her and Mia, something that only gets worse when Mia lets the crew know that she’ll fly into the next city because she got an offer to spend some time with Cash.

New episodes of ‘Rap Sh!t’ are available on Max on Thursday at 3am EST/ 12 pm PST.

‘Rap Sh!t’: Here’s The Music You Heard In Season 2, Episode 1

November 9, 2023 by newhiphopnews

(WARNING: Spoilers for this week’s Rap Sh!t episode will be found below.)

The events in the first episode of Max’s Rap Sh!t season two, titled “Yield,” are soundtracked by songs that help to accentuate the emotions behind each scene. You can find a list of them below and details about the scenes the records were heard in.

Reina Reign — “Tongue”

We hear this record during the opening scene of “Yield” as Reina Reign, Shawna, and Mia are shooting a video for their remix of “Tongue.” The trio are in a pink-lit kitchen for a video and they’re all directed to show their sex appeal while working with kitchen items, something that Shawna struggles to get the hang of.

Shawna & Mia & Raedio — “Seduce & Scheme”

This is the theme song of Rap Sh!t. It plays around the 2:17 mark in “Yield.” The song originally debuted in the inaugural episode of Rap Sh!t and it was the first song Shawna and Mia made after establishing their rap duo. An official full-length version of the song was recorded in season one, episode two.

Raedio, Ben Reilly, Bryant Taylorr & Tim Gent — “Fish & Grits” Feat. Cam & China

This song plays around the 6:26 mark as Mia tries on some outfits for tour. She also discovers that her friend will not be able to watch her daughter Melissa for the full month she’s on the road. We then shift to Duke who meets with one of her top sex workers who warns her of future troubles and proposes that she watch the rest of the girls while Duke is on tour with Shawna & Mia.

Fana Hues — “Float”

Fana Hues’ Flora + Fana record can be heard around the 7:57 mark as Mia meets with her Melissa’s father Lamont to ask if he can watch Melissa for two of the four weeks she’s on tour. There’s some tension between the two following last season’s events, but Lamont agrees to prioritize Melissa and take care of her during Mia’s tour.

Ice Spice — “Bikini Bottom”

Ice Spice’s hit song “Bikini Bottom” plays around the 9:08 mark as Shawna, Mia, and Duke meet at Francois’ house ahead of the tour. It’s here that Shawna, Mia, and Duke learn that the duo will only be able to perform one song, their “Tongue” remix, during their slot as the opening act for Lord AK. Additionally, there’s no guarantee that Shawna, Mia, and Duke will make money. Despite Duke’s frustrations and objections, Shawna & Mia decide to still go through with the tour.

Enchanting & Gucci Mane — “Issa Photoshoot”

Around the 12:52 mark, this record plays during a going away party for Mia with her friends and family. The drinks are flowing but the tension between Mia and her mother is still high as her mother is upset that Mia won’t let Melissa stay with her while she’s on tour. Mia and her sister also share an emotional moment before Mia’s mother gives a drunken speech.

Jordan Ward & Joony — “IDC”

Jordan Ward’s Forward track plays as Shawna and Francois hang out in the latter’s pool around the 15:22 mark. The two play a game of Never Have I Ever and reminisce about the memories they had as a former music duo as well as the things that happened after they split.

Jacques Laine — “Little Haiti” Feat. Seddy Hendrix

We hear this song around the 17:11 mark as Mia takes a dive into the pool and Francois joins her shortly after. We then transition to Lamont showing up to Mia’s party with Throat Coat as a going-away gift for Mia’s tour.

Rayn Lenae — “Skin Tight” Feat. Steve Lacy

Ravyn Lenae’s Hypnos record plays around the 22:12 mark during an intimate moment between Shawna and Maurice. It comes after the two shared a toast ahead of Shawna’s tour where Maurice wished her luck and celebrated her accomplishments.

Jean Deaux — “JD’s Revenge”

This track plays to close episode one after Maurice meets with his friend Stanley to let him know that he’s been called in for questioning by the police concerning the fraud investigation that’s ongoing at the old hotel Maurice and Shawna worked at. Maurice assures Stanley that Shawna did not snitch on them to the police, despite not having any proof of that, and Stanley warns that he will throw Shawna under the bus if it comes to it.

New episodes of ‘Rap Sh!t’ are available on Max on Thursday at 3am EST/ 12 pm PST.

Eazy-E Honored With His Own Compton Street

November 8, 2023 by newhiphopnews

In a tribute to the late N.W.A legend and Ruthless Records founder Eazy-E, the city of Compton is set to immortalize his legacy by naming a street in his honor. Auto Plaza Drive South will officially bear the name “Eazy Street.” This is the same California city where Eazy-E was born and raised. Moreover, Eazy-E’s enduring influence on the world of hip-hop and music as a whole has not gone unnoticed. And the decision to rename a street after him holds great significance. Especially during the 50th anniversary of hip-hop. However, his pioneering work with N.W.A and the establishment of Ruthless Records contributed significantly to shaping the genre and paving the way for numerous artists.

The renaming of Auto Plaza Drive South as “Eazy Street” comes as part of the city’s commemorative events to mark the 50th anniversary of hip-hop. This adds an extra layer of significance to the occasion. Eazy-E’s son, Lil Eazy-E, shared his thoughts on the honor to AllHipHop. He expressed “To hear our father Eric ‘Eazy-E’ Wright is being honored during the 50th anniversary of Hip-Hop, it’s a testament to his impact and legacy in the genre. His contributions to Hip-Hop music and the entertainment business and culture continue to be recognized and celebrated. And we are truly grateful. We will continue to make sure our father’s charitable contributions will continue to be our goal thru our nonprofit, the Eric Wright Foundation. We truly appreciate the honor.”

Eazy-E Will Have A Street Named After Him

The commemorative event celebrating the street name change is scheduled for November 22. And the event will run from noon to 3 p.m. PT. Importantly, it is open to the public. This offers fans of Eazy-E the opportunity to join in celebrating his life and contributions in the world of hip-hop. Eazy-E’s mark on the genre continues to resonate with fans worldwide.

Moreover, this street naming is a fitting acknowledgment of his enduring legacy. However, as Compton pays homage to one of its most illustrious sons, it highlights the city’s commitment to honoring its cultural heritage. In addition to recognizing the profound impact of its residents on the music industry. However, Eazy Street is not just a name on a sign. In addition, it’s a symbol of the enduring influence of an artist whose music and legacy will forever be a part of hip-hop history.

Frank Ocean Previewed New Music For The First Time In Almost Two Years On His Instagram Story

November 8, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Frank Ocean caught a lot of heat — heat that Justin Bieber did not feel was justified — for his abbreviated headlining set at Coachella in April due to “a serious ankle injury after being involved in a bike accident,” which caused Ocean to pull out of the second weekend and reportedly cost Coachella millions of dollars. But there was a silver lining: Ocean casually threw out that he might release a new album soon-ish. (Ocean’s last album was 2016’s Blonde.) On Wednesday night, November 9, he added fuel to that fire on his Instagram Story.

In true Frank Ocean fashion, the Instagram Story is vague. It shows a super close-up screenshot that is not distinguishable, but make sure the volume is up because it would appear Ocean just teased unreleased music for the first time since December 2021 (as chronicled by Pitchfork), when he played a nine-minute untitled track on his Apple Music Blonded Radio channel, which returned again in July 2022.

The new clip on Ocean’s Instagram Story falls squarely within his signature sonic palette that might best be described as “lazy river vibes” and anecdotal lyricism. He sings about “assumptions” and “educated guesses,” boundaries as obstacles, and wanting to “see all your sides / And your heart’s been tangled in barbed wires / You can hand that to me / I can handle it.”

Frank, please take your own advice. You can hand new music to us. We can handle it.

Tinashe Seeks Restraining Order Following Disturbing Incident At Her Los Angeles Home

November 8, 2023 by newhiphopnews

In a chilling turn of events, singer-songwriter Tinashe is seeking a restraining order after a man was arrested at her Los Angeles residence. The artist alleges that on the very same day, the individual in question, who has been identified as Marco Oppikofer, returned to her home and engaged in unsettling behavior. According to Tinashe, Oppikofer allegedly rang her doorbell and was turned away by her father, who happened to be present. However, the situation took a more alarming turn when Oppikofer broke into her home. The artist recounts that she retreated to a secure area of her house and locked herself inside. She claims that Oppikofer attempted to gain entry. It was only after some of her music studio co-workers confronted him and demanded that he leave that the situation de-escalated.

However, despite being forced to depart the premises, Tinashe alleges that Oppikofer continued to linger outside her home. This caused her considerable distress. Law enforcement authorities subsequently arrived on the scene, leading to Oppikofer’s arrest. Law enforcement sources confirmed the arrests to TMZ. He was booked for misdemeanor trespassing but was reportedly released shortly afterward, citing L.A. County’s no-bail policies. Moreover, in light of this disturbing incident, Tinashe is now pursuing a restraining order, expressing deep concerns for her safety and well-being.

Tinashe Wants A Restraining Order

However, she fears that Oppikofer may return to her residence and pose an even greater threat. Tinashe has highlighted the severity of her situation and the urgent need for court-ordered protection to keep the individual at bay. At present, her request for a restraining order has not been granted, leaving the artist in a state of apprehension.

Furthermore, this distressing incident serves as a stark reminder of the security and privacy challenges faced by public figures. Especially in the realm of entertainment. Tinashe’s pursuit of legal protection underscores the gravity of her concerns. And the need to ensure her safety in the face of unsettling events that have unfolded at her own doorstep. The legal process will ultimately determine the course of action in this troubling case.

Ocean’s unique blend of R&B, soul, and alternative music has earned him a dedicated following, and any new release from him is met with eager anticipation. The Instagram story teaser is not the first time Frank Ocean has teased new music in recent months. He previously hinted at a new music during his Coachella performance this year. “It’s been so long. Everybody talks about how long it’s been. ‘It’s been so long, it’s been so long,’ Frank said to the audience. “But I have missed you,” Frank told the audience. “I want to talk about why I’m here, because it’s not because of a new album. It’s because — not that there’s not a new album… but there’s not right now. Chill, chill, chill. No, it’s not right now.”

Frank Ocean Fans In For Surprise

Frank Ocean’s last full studio album, Blonde, was released in 2016 and was met with critical acclaim.

His work is known for its introspective and deeply personal themes, and fans are eager to see where his creative journey will lead next.

While the Instagram story teaser has left fans hungry for more, it remains unclear when Frank Ocean plans to release new music or whether it will be part of a larger project. As is often the case with Ocean, details are shrouded in mystery, and fans will have to wait with bated breath for more information.

ASAP Rocky Allegedly Threatened To Kill ASAP Relli

November 8, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The ongoing legal saga surrounding rapper ASAP Rocky has taken a dramatic turn. TMZ reported that new details emerged about allegations that Rocky threatened to kill ASAP Relli. Rocky’s attorney, Joe Tacopina, recently questioned Relli in court. It lead to a combative back-and-forth that dived deep into the alleged victim’s personal history with Rocky and the circumstances surrounding the case. Tacopina’s questioning was strategic, with the aim of getting Relli to admit that he may have had ulterior motives in reporting the alleged threat. However, this tactic hinted at the possibility that Relli might have waited to raise the issue with law enforcement for reasons other than fear. Essentially Tacopina suggested there was financial incentive for him in reporting it.

Relli, however, stood his ground. Moreover, during the questioning, he reiterated that he delayed reporting the incident due to his genuine fear of retaliation. He firmly maintained that he was a victim of gun violence. And he denied any involvement in attempting to extract money from the situation. The exchanges in court were, at times, tense and heated, reflecting the gravity of the allegations and the stakes involved. However, according to Relli, a heated exchange between he and Rocky escalated to a chilling moment. He says Rocky allegedly pressed a gun against his stomach, saying, “I’ll kill you right now.”

ASAP Rocky’s First Day In Court For Criminal Trial

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA – AUGUST 17: Rapper A$AP Rocky pleads not guilty to assault charges during his arraignment hearing at Clara Shortridge Foltz Criminal Justice Center on August 17, 2022 in Los Angeles, California. A$AP Rocky, real name Rakim Mayers, has been charged with two counts of assault with a semi-automatic firearm stemming from a November 2021 incident in Hollywood. He remains free on $550,000 bond and is due back in court November 2. (Photo by Irfan Khan-Pool/Getty Images)

He asserted that Rocky fired approximately four shots before making an escape, leaving his hand struck and injured. According to a source directly familiar with the proceedings, Relli’s case may be weakened. This is due to inconsistencies addressed during the preliminary hearing. They believe that Relli may have been exposed, and his case may not hold up in front of a jury. However, the ultimate outcome remains uncertain, as the legal process continues to unfold. This ASAP Rocky case will be closely watched by fans, the media, and the music industry. Given Rocky’s high-profile status and the serious nature of the allegations.

Moreover, while the legal battle may be intensifying, the final verdict will be determined by the evidence presented in court and the decisions of the legal system. As this legal drama unfolds, the world awaits further developments. This case that has captured the attention of many, and time will ultimately reveal the true outcome of the allegations against ASAP Rocky. Let us know your thoughts on HNHH!

Megan Thee Stallion’s ‘Cobra (Rock Remix)’ Welcomes A Canadian Heavy Metal Band, And We’re Here For It

November 8, 2023 by newhiphopnews

In the accompanying video for her latest single “Cobra,” Megan Thee Stallion illustrated shedding her past. In the song, she seemingly made several allusions to the aftermath of Tory Lanez’s trial and perhaps even her presumed ex, Pardison “Pardi” Fontaine, cheating on her. Not to mention, weeks before releasing “Cobra,” Megan Thee Stallion settled her years-long lawsuit against 1501 Certified Entertainment and became an independent artist (as reported by Billboard). In other words, can’t nobody tell Hot Girl Meg nothin’ right now.

But she just told her Hotties what’s next on Instagram. On Wednesday night, November 8, Meg released “Cobra (Rock Remix)” featuring Spiritbox, a Canadian heavy metal band, alongside a brand-new visualizer.

— Spiritbox (@spiritboxband) November 9, 2023

“Cobra” already had rock-charged undertones, but the remix predictably amps up the guitar riffs and adds a verse from Spiritbox’s lead vocalist Courtney LaPlante, who ethereally sings, “I am shedding my skin / I need to harden my heart / To protect myself from the pain / Leave me alone in the dark / I am shedding my skin / I need to harden my heart / To protect myself, but the pains remains within.”

Before “Cobra” dropped last Friday, November 3, Megan Thee Stallion warned Hotties against trying to predict the song’s sound because “y’all are not gonna be able to guess.” And it’s likely safe to assume that no Hottie had a Spiritbox remix on the bingo card.
