Slauson Malone 1 Returns After 3 Years With “EXCELSIOR”

by

Los Angeles, California artist Slauson Malone 1 is back after quite a long musical break. In fact, it has been three years since the release of his sophomore release of Vergangenheitsbewältigung (Crater Speak). His music ranges from abstract, left-field hip-hop, psychedelic soul, dub, and modern composition, according to his Apple Music profile. This is also the first time we have covered Malone’s music, so let us give you a little bit of background information first.

There is not a lot of information on Slauson, however, he was born Jasper Marsalis on December 26, 1995. According to The Quietus, this new album, EXCELSIOR, “is an album made up of varying sketches; a collection of personal essays that provide an insight into specific lived experiences. The title of the album itself is a reference to continuous growth, Slauson Malone 1 turning the lens on himself to allow a rare look into an ever-changing and mutating exploration of self.”

The description continues, “It’s purposely chaotic and skeletal in places, but when the disjointed pieces are viewed as one, you get an album that is a fascinating and hypnotic listen.” It certainly is hypnotic right from the start with the intro track, “The Weather.” There were a few lead singles to the record. Those were “Voyager,” “New Joy,” and “Half-Life.” If you are looking to diversify your playlist and try something new, Malone’s album is worth a try.

Elcamino Makes A Quick Comeback With “They Spit On Jesus”

by

Buffalo, New York is a city that has plenty to offer in terms of lyrical talents. One of those is Elcamino. He has not been around as long as Benny The Butcher or Westside Gunn, but he has made a name for himself. It all started for him back in 2018 with the release of his self-titled project. Over time, he has been able to work with some of the rappers with the best pen games.

by

The hip-hop world is on fire because of one thing right now. It is because of Drake’s pushed-back and highly-awaited tape, For All The Dogs, is here. In fact, it did not even hit streaming platforms until 6 a.m. Regardless, everyone can finally hear what all the hype has been about over the past few months. There are plenty of interesting tracks to dive into, and one of them is “Amen.”

What makes this song enticing is the fact that Teezo Touchdown appears on it. Ever since Drake told Teezo that his debut album was some of the best material he had ever heard, many wondered if the two would collaborate. Well, those dreams came true, and then some.

Earl Sweatshirt & The Alchemist Share Full Version Of “Voir Dire” To Streaming

by

Earlier this year, rapper Earl Sweatshirt and producer The Alchemist teamed up for an entire new project called VOIR DIRE. It wasn’t the first time they had ever collaborated, in fact, Earl made an appearance on Alc’s Flying High EP earlier this year. Though the project was short, fans were pretty excited for it as both names are pretty beloved in the underground rap scene. Unfortunately, not many people heard the album when it first dropped.

The reason VOIR DIRE went under the radar is because it was originally dropped exclusively on NFT-based music streaming platform Gala. This was met with backlash from fans who didn’t want to make an account on a crypto music website just to hear the album. Thankfully, the pair eventually came through for their fans promising not just that the album would come to streaming, but that it would have new tracks when it did. Those new songs round the album out to 11 tracks and just under half an hour with two features from Vince Staples and another from MIKE. Check out the entire album tracklist below.

Starting tonight, Earl and The Alchemist are going on tour in support of the album. They’re playing a series of 11 shows this month stopping all across the country alongside MIKE and Black Noi$e.

Earl Sweatshirt has been playing shows on his own all year. During one now notorious August show he teased fans in attendance with a Frank Ocean appearance, which obviously didn’t end up happening. Some fans online thought the tease was funny while others interpreted it as just cruel and tried to call Earl out. What do you think of the new full version of VOIR DIRE on streaming? Let us know in the comment section below.

The number has come as somewhat of a shock to some fans, who would have expected the icon to sell far more. With that being said, plenty of others note that he didn’t do much in terms of promotion for the project. Instead, many think he’s been focusing his attention on hype surrounding Tha Carter VI. Despite countless fans coming to Wayne’s defense, the project has managed to spark some concern surrounding what’s to come on the next installment of Tha Carter series.

One person who seems to be into the Louisiana-born performer’s new releases is Eminem. The hitmaker took to social media to compliment a few of Lil Wayne’s lyrics from his verse on YG and Tyga’s track “Brand New” from Hit Me When U Leave The Klub: The Playlist. “‘Got a bunch of zeros like a bag of new funyuns!!’ F*CK why didn’t I think of that????” Eminem Tweeted last week. As expected, this prompted countless responses from fans, dropping their own favorite Lil Wayne lyrics in his replies. What do you think Lil Wayne’s new album? Are you surprised by its first week sales? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates on Lil Wayne.
