Real Boston Richey Takes On His Second Project “Welcome To Bubba Land” By Himself

Real Boston Richey always makes headlines for his music. When he does, though, it usually is not for good reasons. However, this time, it is to announce the release of his sophomore album. On September 8, just over eight months after the deluxe version of his debut album, Public Housing, Pt. 2, Richey is back in a big way. His first effort saw him grab features from label head Future, as well as Moneybagg Yo, Kodak Black, and Lil Durk.

For Welcome To Bubba Land, the name of his second LP, he takes full control of the project. There is no feature in sight. It is all Richey for all 16 tracks and all 43 minutes. It is a big task for the rapper, especially after being in the industry for just a couple of years. But he handles it with confidence and there are some similarities to this labelmate’s production styles.

Listen To Welcome To Bubba Land From Real Boston Richey

Some of the beats mimic the production on Future’s I NEVER LIKED YOU. The elements you can hear on “KEEP IT BURNIN” and “HOLY GHOST” find their way onto some of Richey’s cuts. The orchestral background vocals and the sped-up hi-hats appear across Bubba. Richey mentioned why he included no features with AllHipHop. “Them features people go to when you wanna get heard, when you wanna get known, I done did it … I ain’t really gave my fans 100 percent me… This go round, I want to give my fans 100 percent me.” It is certainly respectable of Richey to give this to his fans. Do you think it was the right move?

What are your thoughts on this new album, Welcome To Bubba Land, from Real Boston Richey? Is this his best project? Is he the best rapper, besides Future, on the Freebandz label? We want to hear what you have to say. With that in mind, leave all of your opinions in the comments section. Additionally, keep it locked with HNHH for all of the hottest album releases.

Lil Peep And ILOVEMAKONNEN Bring Their Talents Together To Make “DIAMONDS”

Lil Peep’s legacy continues to live on with the release of this new posthumous release with ILOVEMAKONNEN. DIAMONDS is not the first example of these two getting in the studio together. On Come Over When You’re Sober, Pt. 2, both rappers appear on a bonus track called “Sunlight On Your Skin.” Following that, in 2019, the pairing released a single, “I’ve Been Waiting,” which made it onto the final product, in the form of an OG version. Furthermore, “November” is on the effort too, with it being the third single. The album is quite long with 21 tracks and nearly hitting the 90-minute mark.

Before Peep’s passing on November 15, 2017, the emo-rap legend announced this project was going to be available. Obviously, though, it has not come out until September 8, 2023. But, the excitement behind this work from Peep was contagious. “When he came home in August, he played those songs for us — over and over. Gus was incredibly proud of those songs,” said Peep’s mother Liza Womack to Rolling Stone.

The chemistry is apparent on this collaboration LP. What is important to note is this is Peep’s last fully completed album, according to his estate. In a statement with Pitchfork, Liza was extremely grateful for MAKONNEN and the whole team for the effort they put into this project so it could be released in the way Peep would have wanted it to be. She says, “I am very grateful to Makonnen not only for his patience, grace, and fortitude, but also for the tenderness with which he re-assembled the original “Diamonds Team” to gently prepare the album for its release. He did an amazing job—they all did. Gus would be so proud to know that this album had come out. He would be grateful to his friends for taking the time and care to do it just right.”

Slick Rick Is Working On A New Album: Report

According to photographer Jonathan Mannion, Slick Rick could be dropping a new album in the near future. Mannion recently opened up about working with Slick Rick, claiming that the rapper told him about his upcoming project. The LP would be the UK-born performer’s first new album in more than two decades. Mannion shared the news on Instagram, alongside a photo of himself sitting with Slick Rick and sipping on some champagne.

“REASONING. This man has lived a helluva life to reach this current calm,” the photographer began his caption. “Blessed to have received the call that the new album was on the way… a fresh new approach to tunes, now with newly created legendary photos to match. We collaborate well.” He went on to detail his experience photographing the acclaimed storyteller, and how he got the bling he’s shown wearing around his neck.

Slick Rick Reportedly Dropping First New Album In Over Two Decades

“As I did the first time that I ever photographed the incomparable @therulernyc in 1998, I brought champagne to toast him,” he continued. “@moetchandon always flowing. I was also ‘knighted’ again… a renewal of vows, of sorts… with nearly every piece of his legendary gold, platinum, diamond encrusted heavy metal available weighing down my neck. Beyond honored!” Judging by the comments section, fans can’t wait to hear the 58-year-old’s next project.

If Mannion’s account proves to be true, the new album will follow Slick Rick’s 1999 full-length album, The Art of Storytelling. That album houses famous tracks like “Street Talkin’” featuring OutKast, “Memories,” “I Run This,” and more. The album turned 24 back in May, after hitting No. 1 on Billboard’s Top R&B/Hip-Hop chart upon its release. Praised for his authenticity, Slick Rick shared his vision with The Guardian in 2016. “I think what I brought to hip-hop was a visual, storybook-type of a style,” he explained. “Like reading a children’s book, but in rap form.” Keep an eye on HNHH for more updates on Slick Rick.

Polo G Delays His New Album Following Arrest Last Month

Polo G was originally intending to release his new album very soon. The album is called Hood Poet and was originally due to arrive on September 15. The album is sure to be one of the biggest of the year when it eventually does drop. Polo has debuted three straight albums in the top 10 of the Billboard 200. His last two releases have both debuted in the top 2 with his 2021 album Hall Of Fame hitting the number one spot on the chart in 2021. He began the journey to his new era last month when he dropped the lead single to the album “Barely Holdin’ On.”

About a week after that song dropped, however, everything in the immediate future changed for Polo G. His home was raided by police in connection with a robbery, and while he attempted to clarify the situation via his attorney, that turned out to only be the beginning. Just a few days later the news broke that Polo and his brother had been arrested and charged with multiple felonies. Included in the charges are kidnapping, assault, or robbery. While they made bail shortly after, clearly Polo is anticipating more legal drama coming forward. As a result he’s delaying his upcoming album.

Teezo Touchdown Delivers Genre-Bending Album “How Do You Sleep At Night?

Teezo Touchdown is someone who has been gaining a lot of popularity as of late. Teezo has been around for a while at this point, however, he is having a huge moment right now. Of course, he was on the Travis Scott song “MODERN JAM” which turned out to be a jumping-off point. Furthermore, he received some massive co-signs from the likes of Drake. Needless to say, there has been a lot of hype around his new album, titled How Do You Sleep At Night?

Over the past few weeks, the artist has been dropping a plethora of snippets on his Twitter account. Overall, these snippets have proven to be incredibly polarizing. There are some people out there who love the sound he is going for. However, there are plenty of others who don’t appreciate his blend of pop-punk and r&b. Last Friday, he dropped a lead single for the project, “You Thought,” featuring Janelle Monae. Today, he has come through with the full-length project, which contains 14 songs.

Teezo Touchdown Gives Us His Debut

As you go down the tracklist, you will get a lot of different sounds here. Although there is a lot of guitar, there are some passages that ditch the guitars for glitchy drums and vocal harmonies. Teezo shows himself to be a great singer. However, some people might find the lyrical content to be a bit juvenile. It is definitely an album that will prove to be challenging for those who are unfamiliar with his previous work. That said, the Day One Teezo Touchdown fans out there are going to enjoy this.
