Blac Youngsta Seemingly Releases A Tribute Album To His Late Brother With “Blac Sheep 2”

September 2, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Memphis rapper Blac Youngsta is currently going through an extremely tough time in his life. He is still grieving the loss of his late brother Tomanuel Benson a few weeks ago. Tomanuel was reportedly shot by a man named Randy Ewing according to the Memphis Police Department at a gas station. It is still not official that it was Ewing, but he is the main suspect. Additionally, authorities still brought forth charges of second-degree murder and two counts of attempted second-degree murder.

Even with a lot going on in Youngsta’s life, he is still in the headspace to release new material. That is why he just put out his sequel to his second 2023 project Blac Sheep. Blac Sheep 2 comes just four months later and contains 15 tracks, equaling a runtime of 42 minutes and 26 seconds. There are also no features here, just like the first Blac Sheep. However, there is more sentiment on this record, as quite a few tracks reference the recent tragic event of his lost brother.

Listen To Blac Sheep 2 By Blac Youngsta

For example, the closing song “Too Far” features Youngsta talking about moving carefully but also dangerously. In the outro to the track, he says, “Keep your motherf****n’ head down, keep your head up n**** no matter what goin’ on.” He continues, “Be careful out here / Stay dangerous and be safe at the same time / Be smart move wise Blac Sheep.” This seems to be a reference to the Instagram story he shared moments after the passing, “I’m Gone Make The World Pay. I Swear To God Nobody Safe. Standing Over Everybody. Everybody #4LIFE. Gone Make Sure They Feel Me I Promise.” It is not confirmed that this is partially a tribute to his family member, but with messages on tracks like this one, it is hard to deny that he was inspired to write some lyrics about it.

Roc Marciano & The Alchemist Deliver Deluxe Of “The Elephant Man’s Bones”

September 1, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Last year, Roc Marciano and The Alchemist collaborated for one of 2022’s best rap albums: The Elephant Man’s Bones. For the lyrically-minded and for fans of abstract production, this project filled pretty much every niche and desire. In addition, the duo bolstered it with excellent features from Boldy James, Action Bronson, Ice-T, and Knowledge The Pirate. However, they weren’t quite done with it just yet, and they realized that there’s more to share from his fitting, chemistry-filled, and creative team-up. With two new bonus tracks, the underground legends graced us with The ALC Edition of this album, fitting for a 2023 revamp.

Furthermore, now’s the perfect time to tune into Roc Marciano’s latest if you missed it last year. These new bonus tracks represent everything that made The Elephant Man’s Bones such a compelling LP, and The Alchemist doesn’t slouch in the slightest. “DNA” opens with a menacing bassline and string arrangement, providing fertile ground for the New York MC to stomp on with vivid and twisted hunger. Conversely, the dreamy synth pads and chill, perky rhythms on “Turkey Wings” offer Marciano’s verses a more nostalgic and laidback context.

The Elephant Man’s Bones The ALC Edition From Roc Marciano & The Alchemist: Stream

Meanwhile, it’s actually been a busy couple of weeks for Uncle Al, revamping one of 2022’s best and dropping what will surely be one of 2023’s best. On Friday (August 25), he and Earl Sweatshirt unveiled VOIR DIRE, releasing it completely for free (no DSPs yet, though) and putting up each individual track for purchase as an NFT. We’ll never complain about new music from these incredible wordsmiths, or from one of hip-hop’s best producers.

ASAP Rocky Fans Disappointed After Thinking New Album Would Drop In August

September 1, 2023 by newhiphopnews

At the beginning of August, ASAP Rocky seemingly hinted at the drop of his new album, Don’t Be Dumb, with a simple Tweet. “AWGEST,” the Tweet read. Listeners have yet to hear a new full-length offering from him since 2018’s TESTING, so this was a pretty exciting teaser. AWGE is the name of Rocky’s creative agency, and him combining the word with August made many think the album would be released last month. September has arrived, however, and ASAP Rocky has yet to release it.

Some social media users suspected early on that rumors of the drop were cap, but regardless, fans were waiting for something big. Now, unfortunately, many are left confused and disappointed. “He stay lying,” one user wrote underneath his Tweet. Another simply commented a crying emoji. Though ASAP Rocky didn’t unveil his highly-anticipated album this month, Rihanna did just have a child, so he could have his hands full.

Fans Now Confused About “AWGEST” Tweet

AWGEST

— LORD FLACKO JODYE II (@asvpxrocky) August 2, 2023

ASAP Rocky and Rihanna have one other child together, RZA. Following the birth of baby number two, an insider claimed that “Rihanna feels her family is now complete.” The reveal of the child’s name should be coming soon, and it’s said to stay true to their family theme of “R” names.

In July, ASAP Rocky sat down with Complex, revealing some of the producers who’ve worked on Don’t Be Dumb. “We got Pharrell Williams, we got Dean Blunt, we got Metro Boomin,” he began. “I don’t want to leave people out. We got Hitkidd, we got Tyler, The Creator, myself, Madlib, The Alchemist. We also got Mike Dean, Swedish House Mafia, and I don’t want to give too much away.” He also shared that he centers his life around family these days, a stark contrast to what he’s know for. “It’s honestly about being true to yourself and me being true to me,” he explained. “I’m really just cooling with my lady and my little man and all that, that’s just it.” Keep an eye on HNHH for more updates on ASAP Rocky.

Meek Mill has been cooking up some new music recently. A couple of videos have emerged of the rapper hitting the studio in recent months. Among the most notable was a link-up with Rick Ross that hit the internet and left fans excited about a potential future collab.

Additionally the album spawned a few massive hits like “Going Bad” with Drake, “Dangerous” with Jeremih and PnB Rock, and “24/7” with Ella Mai.

There aren’t many other details like a release date to be found though. Check out the Instagram story post below.

Meek Mill Teases “Championships” Sequel

Meek has also recently shifted his focus to social justice causes. Recently, he’s spoken publicly about the ways that the rap industry encourages dangerous behavior to increase profit. He claimed that record labels are profiting off of “black murder and poverty” while also claiming that they are operating “without consequences.”

In another statement he made he explained that rappers are often paid more to purposefully sound ignorant. Consequently he explained that the subject matter pushed by labels is directly harmful to the black community. “The things that fund us, don’t power me forward,” his statement concluded. What do you think of Meek Mill releasing a sequel to one of his most beloved albums? Let us know in the comment section below.

Doja Cat Posts New Album Cover After Allegations Of Copying Another Artist

August 31, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Doja Cat’s highly anticipated new album is arriving soon. After dropping a pair of singles and teasing the project all year fans are more than ready to hear an entire new project from the versatile rapper and singer. That excitement rose even more when she posted the album artwork to social media for fans to pour over. The simple pink spider on a white background didn’t leave much to dig through, but perceptive fans still noticed something.

The album cover Doja Cat shared bore a striking resemblance to another used by German metal band Chaver. Not only do both covers sport the same pink spider but both albums are set to be released on the same day, September 22. As it turns out both pieces were made by the same artist, named Dusty Ray. As a result of the confusion, it seems that Doja has decided to change her album cover to something new. She deleted the original Instagram post and replaced it with a new album cover of a different spider. Check out the new artwork below.

This isn’t the only time artwork has led to controversy for Doja Cat recently. The art for her upcoming new single “Demons” came under fire by many fans claiming that it was demonic or satanic. When Doja hit back she didn’t mince words. She compared fans who had issues with her artwork to those who couldn’t even handle Goosebumps.

Doja Cat also doesn’t have the level of fan support she used to. That’s because she picked a fight against her own fanbase over their “kittenz” label. She refused to back down repeatedly calling out fans online and ultimately resulting in her losing over 250k followers. Despite the large exodus of some of her most diehard fans, she didn’t seem very bothered. In an interview following the affair, she described the whole experience as freeing. Which of the two album covers Doja Cat shared do you like more? Let us know in the comment section below.

According to the D.O.C., the duo is wrapping up the recording process, and he plans on helping them finish it.

“I plan on going to LA for a week next week to help Snoop and Dre finish Snoop’s Missionary album,” the artist explained. “We all haven’t worked together seriously, where we’re all in a creative space, in a long time. And we’re all in a space where we wanna do something great so it should be a cool week. We should come up with two or three really great records since we’re all in this kind of space.”

The D.O.C Says Missionary Sounds Like What Snoop’s “Next Record Would’ve Been Like On Death Row”

“We love each other,” he continued, “Y’know, those are my brothers, and I want them to win and they want me to win. We work for each other’s wins and that’s just what that is. We’re lucky if everybody’s in the right headspace, that’s the tricky part. But right now, in this moment, I think we’re all in that space where we’re ready to do some new sh*t.” The D.O.C. goes on, giving fans an update on how the album is sounding so far. “It sounds like what Snoop’s next record would’ve been like on Death Row, that’s what it sounds like,” he reveals.

Earlier this summer, producer Smitty also shared some new details of Missionary, claiming that he hasn’t seen Dr. Dre this dedicated to an album since The Chronic. “What people won’t expect is the level of execution that Snoop is committed to,” he explained. “Snoop’s in his bag.” Keep an eye on HNHH for more updates on Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, and The D.O.C.

Coi Leray Drops Her New EP “Blue Moon”

August 30, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Coi Leray’s brand new EP Blue Moon is finally out on all streaming platforms. The project is just over 11 minutes long with five tracks and no features. A few days ago the star rapper and singer shared the meaning behind this quick effort. Her second album was not as well received as she might have hoped, so she decided to do what she does best. Coi Leray says, “The EP, I get deep, I get vulnerable. I got tired of “trying” new things and wanted to just do what I do BEST.”

She goes further saying, “I have a hard time with telling my story because I get wrapped up in the media narratives however Music is the best way for me to tell it. Sorry I can’t argue with y’all on the internet all day.” Things are definitely getting a little more personal this time and it shows on these five tracks. That feeling hits you like a ton of bricks right from the start with “Liquor and Weed.” The beat is very minimalistic with spacy drums, allowing to make way for Coi to spit about all of her internal thoughts on her career and the pain and struggle she has had to endure to get to where she is.

Coi Leray’s EP “Blue Moon” Listen:

“It’s my life, my story, so why not let me tell it? I mean, Who knew I would would walking red carpets and stages with the same icons I listen to growing up.” Coi continues, “I’m just grateful to have come this far.” Those themes carry on throughout the duration of the EP, especially on “Still Dreaming” where she talks about wanting to shoot for the stars to live a fulfilling life every day. Overall it is a solid listen with messages that are sure to resonate with a lot of people. Additionally, Coi Leray dropped Blue Moon on the day the world can view the elusive blue supermoon. It happens when the pattern of days in a year means there are 13 full Moons instead of the usual 12.

Doja Cat is giving out all the goods on her forthcoming album release. The 27-year-old rapper and singer is finally set to drop her fourth studio album, Scarlet on September 22.

Before that, on August 27 Doja teased us with a sneak peek of the music video for “Demons” as well.

Looking at the cover, it is very simplistic but it certainly looks cool. A reddish-tinged creepy-crawly is the center of attention, with a little drop of blood above it. The background is a solid white, adding a nice color contrast. Doja Cat is fully committed to this devilish persona, and it will hopefully translate to the production, song themes, and message of the album too. Furthermore, if you go to her account on any music streaming service, all of her album covers are now red, which is a cool little way to promote this renaissance. It is safe to say we cannot wait for Scarlet to arrive.
