Desiigner Enters A “Rebirth” After A Six-Year Hiatus

by

When Desiigner came onto the scene back in 2016 with his breakout record “Panda,” there were a lot of skeptics. Many were labeling him a blatant Future rip off and prediciting that he would become a one-hit wonder. However, thanks to songs like “Tiimmy Turner” and “Outlet,” and a feature on Kanye West’s posse cut “Champions,” he seemed to quite a handful of doubters. However, after 2018’s L.O.D. project, Desiigner would continue to fade and steadily. Things wouldn’t get any better even as of recently, as the Brooklyn rapper and singer would run into some wild legal trouble. In 2023, he would be charged for indecent exposure while on a flight back to the states from Japan.

He addressed the bizarre situation in a sit-down with Adam22 on his No Jumper platform claiming that it was due to his lack of sugar in his body due to the vegan diet he was on. He also said the medication he was on caused him to act out. Again, this left many skeptical. Based on all of this, it’s clear that Desiigner has not had the easiest of career trajectories for a while. However, it seems that he’s doing better now and back to dropping new music. He’s been releasing a lot singles, but the gap between L.O.D. and now is wide. Enter Rebirth, Desiigner’s third project. It’s a perfect title, as the East Coast act sounds focused and more mature on this concise eight-song tape. He says there’s even more music on the way, so maybe a Rebirth really is happening for him?

AraabMuzik Claims That Fabolous Has Two New Albums On The Way

by

AraabMuzik is an elusive figure in hip hop. The producer helped shape the sound of New York in the 2010s, thanks to collabs with legends like 50 Cent and Cam’ron. He doesn’t often give interviews, but he made an exception on November 15. AraabMuzik, real name Abraham Orellana, sat down for a chat with podcaster Victor Baez to discuss new music. The producer talked about his own ventures, as well as his creative process. The real bombshell came, however, when he spoke on what Fabolous has cooking up.

Fabolous is another New York legend who worked with AraabMuzik in the 2010s. The two have worked on a number of mixtapes together, including all three entries in Fabolous’ Summertime Shootout series. The last Summertime Shootout, Coldest Summer Ever, dropped in 2019. Fab has been pretty quiet in the intervening years, but AraabMuzik claims the silence is almost over. The producer told Baez that Fab has two projects in the works. One of them will be a solo venture, and the other will be an AraabMuzik collab.

Fabolous Hasn’t Dropped An Album Since 2019

“His project, of course, is dropping,” AraabMuzik explained. “Looking forward to his project and then something we got in the works.” Fabolous has been making guest appearances throughout 2024. He dropped in on Mary J. Blige’s single “Breathing,” as well as the French Montana and Fivio Foreign collab “To the Moon.” Fabolous also contributed a verse to the sprawling Cash Cobain song “Problem.” He was featured alongside a gang of artists, including Big Sean, Flo Milli, Luh Tyler and 6LACK.

As far as solo ventures go, though, fans have been waiting. Fabolous hasn’t dropped an official body of work since the aforementioned Coldest Summer Ever in 2019. Not only has there not been any new solo material since, there hasn’t even been a hint of something new. Seriously, Fabolous’ Wikipedia ends with the rollout for the third Summertime Shootout. AraabMuzik speaking on new material is major, but just as major is the confirmation that Loso is on his way. AraabMuzik, meanwhile, just dropped the collaborative tape Living Proof with Dave East. Fittingly, Fabolous appeared on the song “Buss Down.”

Maxo Kream Showcases Three Unique Perspectives On “Personification”

by

Maxo Kream has brought us Personification, his fourth official album of his underappreciated career. The Houston storyteller had given us several potential glimpses into this project throughout the year. At times, they were extremely hard-hitting and personal. “No Then You A H*e” still holds the top spot in terms of our favorite Maxo tracks from 2024. However, the episodic recalling on “Big H*e Me” is certainly in contention as well. But instead of continuing to hone his already well-established tracks in this vein, he’s been giving us some more loose bangers such as “Bang The Bus” too. This diversity is something that Maxo Kream was looking to achieve on this new album.

There are three perspectives that he raps from on Personification and they are Trigger Maxo, Punken, and Emekwanem. Trigger is the more brash and gangster-like profile, so “Big H*e Me.” As for Punken, a reference to his fourth overall project, is the more introspective and thought-provoking side. Then, there’s the latter which is his government name, and it represents his current lifestyle as a father and role model of sorts. The overall idea of Personification is an interesting one, however, it doesn’t feel fully realized. Maybe dividing the personas into discs may have helped get the idea across more effectively as all of them feel jumbled together. But there are good tracks that most fans will appreciate.

Cordae Claims “The Crossroads” Is The One

by

“I wanted to get better, like, as a songwriter, as a rapper… verses… storytelling… beat selection and taste in beat selection… and that requires work and time, so I feel like this is my best foot forward thus far.” That’s Cordae speaking with Billboard on his brand-new and third studio album The Crossroads. Besides these aspirations and confident words, it’s been a project on fans’ radar. It’s for good reason too, because some of the singles leading up to today were pretty impeccable. “Summer Drop,” “Saturday Mornings,” and “Syrup Sandwiches” are some our personal favorites.

But does The Crossroads live up to its self-praise by its creative mind? Overall, we can see some improvements, especially in the wordplay and storytelling. It’s why those aforementioned tracks are thought of so highly. Where the album sort falls a little flat is in the more braggadocious pop rap cuts. “Mad as F*ck,” “Never See It,” and “Back on the Road” are couple of examples that just don’t have that oomph. While the beats on these tracks are certainly solid, we feel that this lane isn’t where Cordae truly feels at home. But generally speaking, there’s quality here and growth from the North Carolina spitter.

Mary J. Blige Expresses “Gratitude” On Her Potential Final Album

by

One of the steadiest and most consistent R&B talents of the modern era may be hanging it up soon. Mary J. Blige is back with her 15th studio album, Gratitude, and during the rollout she revealed that she’s considering retirement. “It might be the last studio album. It might be,” she told People. Then, on top of that, the New York native came across as at peace with where she’s at in her life thanks to music. In speaking with the daytime talk show Sherri about the title of the album, she said, “It’s called Gratitude because that’s where I am. I mean, look at my life right now. I’m in a constant state of gratitude.”

Blige added, “I feel good. I have jobs and opportunities. I’m healthy. My family’s healthy. I have people around that care for me and love me. And I have amazing fans. I’m so grateful to my fans for all the years of love that they’ve given me and support.” We will just have to keep tabs on her going forward, especially when she heads out on tour. Mary J. Blige is taking Gratitude across the US starting at the end of January and wrapping things up on April 14. The For My Fans Tour will also include openers Ne-Yo and Mario, so it could be a nice victory lap for what’s been a stellar career.

070 Shake Delivers Adventurous And Dynamic Third Album “Petrichor”

by

New Jersey-based singer/occasional rapper 070 Shake has had quite the career so far. For many fans, the first time they became aware of 070 Shake was through her first appearance (as an uncredited artist) on Pusha T’s “Santeria,” a standout from his West-produced 2018 third solo album, DAYTONA. A few weeks later, she delivered a haunting outro on the track “Ghost Town” from West’s eighth album, Ye, as well as a vocal performance on the album’s closer, “Violent Crimes.” From there, she released her first two albums on the label, with Modus Vivendi coming in January 2020 and following up with You Can’t Kill Me two and a half years later.

And now, a little over two more years removed from You Can’t Kill Me, 070 Shake delivers her third album, Petrichor. The album comes after an understated, but excellent, 2023 that saw her appear on English singer RAYE’s breakout single, the phenomenal “Escapism.” Petrichor is a similarly hazy release that primarily talks about love (girlfriend Lily-Rose Depp was clearly a major source of inspiration for Shake). Though, there are still some moments of levity on the back half of the release. Shake bounces between Kid Cudi-esque dark pop and alternative stylings and more straightforward pop tunes. The album also features appearances from Miami rapper JT and Courtney Love, Kurt Cobain’s widow and Hole’s lead singer. It’s a diverse tracklist that offers some of the most dynamic music of Shake’s young career. 070 Shake is not a rapper in the traditional sense, but even if you do not consider yourself a big fan of alternative pop music, you should still give this album a try. Stream Petrichor below.

Quando Rondo Guides Listeners Through His Life On “Here For A Reason”

by

Savannah, Georgia rapper and auto-crooner, Quando Rondo, is back on the album scene this weekend with Here For A Reason. It’s the 25-year-old’s third studio album, and first since 2023’s Recovery. Prior to the full release, he got the rollout started with “Cash” at the tail end of 2023 during some serious legal issues. Then, in August of this year, Rondo dropped off an additional five singles. “Gotta Do Better & Pray” got things started and that then led to the precursing EP Here for a Reason: In The Darkest Time. Finally, from October 18 to just hours before the LP, Rondo gave fans three more, with one of them being a tribute to his late cousin, Lul Pab. All of that brings to us November 15 and the 17-song album.

Across the body of work, Quando’s detailing his life and the various emotions he’s dealt with as he’s grown up literally and mentally. It’s probably his most mature record to date with various bars proving that to be the case. For example, on “Boy To Man,” he raps, “I got my mind on the struggle with my heart in the gutter and my grind on my hustle.” Overall, the record comes at another interesting time in his life, with the weight of his cousin’s death on his mind and the noise surrounding Lil Durk’s murder-for-hire arrest. Coincidentally, the messages and themes on Here For A Reason feel like an accurate representation of Quando Rondo’s thought process over these last couple of months. See if you share that opinion by listening to the project below.

Denzel Curry Drops Complete “KING OF THE MISCHIEVOUS SOUTH” Album

by

Denzel Curry has been chipping away at the KING OF THE MISCHIEVOUS SOUTH title for quite a while. He dropped a mixtape with the title in 2012, then an album in 2024. It still wasn’t enough. Curry opted to record a few bonus tracks, rearrange the tracklist, and drop the complete version of the album on Friday. It was well worth the wait. KING OF THE MISCHIEVOUS SOUTH encompasses every facet of the Denzel Curry experience. It showcases the rapper’s aggression, his commercial sensibility, and his consistently stellar lyricism at every turn.

It’s not easy to make a lyrical album that knocks, but Denzel Curry does that exact thing here. The rapper pays homage to the Waka Flocka Flame hit “Hard In da Paint” with “STILL IN THE PAINT.” He adds to the blistering instrumental, and trades bars with the likes of LAZER DIM 700 and Bktherula. It’s an obvious tip of the cap to the music Denzel Curry grew up listening to, and he manages to put a fresh spin on it. The other bonus tracks features less notable samples, but they are of equal quality. “ANOTHA LATE NIGHT” is a nocturnal meditation on sex and love. “P.O.P.,” meanwhile, is a smooth riding anthem with additional bars from Sauce Walka and Key Nyata. It might be the best song on here, even if it’s subtleness will lead to it being buried.

Let us know what you think of this brand new album, in the comments section down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will continue to keep you informed on all of your favorite artists and their upcoming projects.

Juice WRLD’s Posthumous Album “The Party Never Ends” Gets Release Date

by

Juice WRLD has entered rare territory as a rapper. He dropped two highly successful and acclaimed studio albums during his lifetime. He died at age 21 in 2019, however, leaving behind a ton of unfinished and unreleased material. The Party Never Ends, Juice’s upcoming album, will tip the scale in a very tragic direction. The album will mark Juice WRLD’s third posthumous drop, meaning he put out more music after his death than he did while he was alive. It’s heartbreaking, but it’s also a means of keeping his memory going.

The Party Never Ends will release on November 29. It will be prefaced by the single “Insecure: All the Girls Are the Same 2,” which drops November 15. The song will mark Juice’s first ever collaboration with Young Money legend Nicki Minaj. This album will stand apart from Juice WRLD’s previous posthumous albums, which dropped in 2020 and 2021, respectively. It has had the most time to gestate, given that the rapper’s ex-manager, Peter Jideonwo, has been teasing its existence since the release of Fighting Demons.

The Album Will Be Juice WRLD’s Final Release

Jideonwo took to Instagram in 2022 to confirm that The Party Never Ends will be the best posthumous Juice WRLD release to date. He revealed that there would be less than five features on the album, which includes Minaj. “The Party Never Ends is going to be the best album, not only musically but creatively,” he stated. “We got a big collab on the album cover and also the merch. Everything about it is fire. We’re not just doing some basic music… we’re taking our time to craft a classic you’ll talk about for the next ten years.”

Jideonwo and the rest of Juice WRLD’s team definitely took their time. It makes sense, given that The Party Never Ends is supposed to be the final Juice album ever. Lil Bibby, the founder of Juice’s record label, Grade A Productions, confirmed as much via Instagram. The emphasis on solo material instead of features, and the thematic resonance of the title, certainly makes The Party Never Ends seem as though it will live up to the hype.

SZA Previews New Album “Lana” During Revealing Interview About Her Emotions

by

SZA recently sat down for a new interview with British Vogue, which proved to not be as controversial and hotly discussed as her Harper’s BAZAAR sit-down with Kendrick Lamar. But nevertheless, she dished out a lot of interesting revelations, emotional divulgations, and hints at the direction of her next album, Lana. It’s no longer a deluxe version to 2022’s SOS, but rather a full-on new LP following some leaks to the public that derailed its course for a bit. Fortunately, it wasn’t enough to fully throw it off track, and whenever it comes out, it’ll arrive as a highly anticipated LP. Now, we have more of an idea of how it could emotionally relate to the rest of the catalog.

“I think I am making music from a more beautiful place,” SZA told British Vogue concerning the emotional and personally artistic direction of the upcoming Lana record. “From a more possible place versus a more angsty place. I’m not identifying with my brokenness. It’s not my identity. It’s s**t that happened to me. Yeah, I experienced cruelty. I have to put it down at some point. Piece by piece, my music is shifting because of that, the lighter I get.”

Elsewhere during the interview, SZA also spoke on what it was like to headline Glastonbury last year. “I just felt like nothing I could do would be enough for Glastonbury, no matter what I did,” she revealed. “It scared me. I was like, well, I wish I wasn’t doing it, but I couldn’t walk away from it… I want to be the second Black woman in history, but then it’s such a f***ing tall order. It’s like, no matter what you do here, you will be subject to criticism. Because of who you are. But that’s life. That’s life, you know?”

Meanwhile, SZA’s recent conversation with British Vogue also held some more personal details and confessions, such as her reflections on getting a BBL. It was a pretty engaging and enlightening conversation from someone who’s always down to share herself in front of the world and use that power in her own personal journey. We can’t wait for what Lana has in store.
