Ski Mask The Slump God Emerges From The Depths With Comeback LP “11th Dimension”

by

Ski Mask The Slump God is one of hip-hop’s weirdos, but in the best way possible. Over the years, fans have come to love the cooky personality that he exudes, as well as his creativity and adaptability. So, after dropping STOKELEY in 2018, a lot of people were saddened as he took quite the long absence. Sure, there was the Sin City The Mixtape in 2021, but we think we can speak for quite a few out there when we say that we were hoping for an album. Well today that all changes, as Ski Mask The Slump God has just come through with 11th Dimension. This is his official sophomore studio album, and it features a nice collection of high-end talent.

Those include Future, ATL Jacob, XXXTENTACION, Juice WRLD, Skillibeng, The-Dream, and Corbin. Leading up to its release, Ski Mask put out a tandem of singles, the rage inspired “Shibuya”, and the rock/trap combo that is “Headrush”. In typical fashion, a majority of the tracks are short and to the point, and include some hilarious bars, along with the speedy flows. However, there are a few wildcards like “WDYM,” which features a watery and tropical vibe and sees Ski get introspective. The-Dream (surprisingly) joins him on the beautifully sung chorus as well. Some fans are saying that 11th Dimension is not living up to the hype after such a long wait. But you have to remember Ski was dealing with the losses of his closest friends (XXX and Juice). He has not been shy about much it has affected him, so him simply returning is rewarding.

Tems Details Her Mental Journey On “Born In The Wild”

by

Tems rise to the top has been quite rapid. Over the last couple of years, the Lagos, Nigerian genre chameleon has notched some impressive feathers in her cap. Whether it be working with Drake (multiple times) and Future on “WAIT FOR U”, or Wizkid and Justin Bieber on “Essence”, she has really been everywhere. We also cannot forget to mention her contributions to the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever soundtrack. But just because she has all of these major collaborations, do not think for one second that her solo career is lackluster. From “Me & U” to “Love Me JeJe”, and “Higher”, the 28-year-old has a loaded catalog, too. The first two singles land on Tems’ debut album, Born in the Wild.

It follows up on a tandem of EPs, For Broken Ears (2020) and If Orange Was A Place (2021), both of which were well received. We can almost guarantee that her first full-length will get similar praise as well. Across the 18-song, nearly hour-long project, fans can expect a personal journey of learning to deal with fame, relationships, as well some introspection. Born in the Wild could mean a few things, but since Tems says it is all about her mindset and how she has grown. “It’s more about the state of being. It was a wilderness in the environment I lived in and there’s so many things that happened and so many lessons I learned to come and be this person now. It is basically coming out of the wilderness.”

JP Comes Through With Milwaukee Low-End Slaps On New Project “Coming Out Party”

by

JP is an artist who has been bubbling as of late thanks to a plethora of viral singles. Overall, it mostly started with the release of “Bad Bitty” earlier this year. Ultimately, this song could very well be the song of the summer. When it hit Twitter, it became a phenomenon with fans fawning over JP and his vocal style. Moreover, his signature moves and infectious energy had people in a trance. Since that time, he has dropped off some dope single, including “Come And See” and “Never Make Me Hate You.” Now, he is here with his album, Coming Out Party.

The project is 12 tracks long and there are no features to be found here. Instead, JP embraces the Milwaukee low-end sound that has proven to be incredibly popular online. From the fast claps to danceable rhythms, JP showcases that he is more than just a one-hit wonder. The artist is also incredibly melodic, and uses his gospel influences to his advantage. We interviewed JP recently, and he told us that his vocal style has always come naturally to him. Needless to say, music is just second nature for the Wisconsin artist.

Let us know what you think of this new album, in the comments section down below. Are you a fan of this style of rap? What is your favorite track from JP so far? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates from around the music world.

KAYTRANADA Manages To Top Himself With New Album “TIMELESS”

by

KAYTRANADA is giving Metro Boomin a run for his money. The latter might have more hit singles under his belt, but KAYTRANADA has proven to be one of the most versatile and adventurous producers of the last few decades. There isn’t a sound or a style he isn’t comfortable with, and he always seems to bring out the best in his collaborators. It helps, of course, that he’s able to attract some of the most exciting names in hip-hop and R&B. Timeless is his first solo album since 2019, and it was well worth the wait.

The biggest guest features on the album deliver. Childish Gambino dips back into his “Redbone” bag with the bouncy, constantly mutating funk jam “Witchy.” KAYTRANADA and Childish Gambino seemed like a great fit on paper, and it’s satisfying to see them deliver on what was easily the most anticipated song. PinkPantheress’ airy vocals mesh perfectly with KAYTRANADA’s jittery production on “Snap My Finger,” while Anderson .Paak and SiR add tons of gritty charisma to the Neptunes-laced instrumental “Do 2 Me.” There are a few missteps, like the overly cutesy “Wasted Words” with Thundercat, but the album hits way more often than it misses, as evidenced by standouts like “Drip Sweat” and “Hold On.”

Let us know what you think of this brand-new track, 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.

Rihanna Terrifies Fans By Casually Teasing Her Retirement

by

Rihanna knows what she’s doing. She dropped a classic album in 2016 with Anti, and has kept fans on the hook ever since. The pop superstar has had two children, bolstered her fashion empire, and played the Super Bowl Halftime Show in this nearly decade-long drought. 2024 seemed as though it would be the end of the drought, but RiRi has fans thinking otherwise after she stepped out on June 6. She was seen wearing a graphic t-shirt, and the text on it provides a terrifying possibility for her Navy.

Rihanna was photographed in New York City. The full text on the t-shirt was obscured by her purse, but the main text was crystal clear: “I’m retired.” Fans did manage to find the exact shirt she was wearing on the internet, though. The text underneath allegedly reads: “This is as dressed up as I get.” It’s very much meant to be a tongue-in-cheek shirt, not to be taken seriously, but given who is wearing it, and how long its been since her last album, fans were more stressed than usual. “Welp she never doing music again,” one distraught X user wrote. “I don’t feel good,” another wrote. “She better be joking.” Some fans took the stance that Rihanna is actually teasing the title of her upcoming album, which would be I’m Retired.

Rihanna Has Been Teasing Her Album For Years

Rihanna has, admittedly, been hyping up her comeback album in 2024. She confirmed that she’s been in the studio with her boyfriend, ASAP Rocky, who has also been working on his first album since 2018. The biggest thing Rihanna wants to convey to fans is artistic growth. At least, that’s what she told Extra back in April. “It’s gonna be amazing,” she told the outlet. “It has to be — that is the only reason it’s not out yet. If I’m not feeling it and I’m not feeling like it represents the evolution, the time I spent away. There should be a show of growth, right?”

While Rihanna confirmed that her and ASAP Rocky have been working closely, she maintained that the new album will not be filled with guest features. If anything, the singer wants to error on the side of less features, so as to give fans more of her. Especially after nearly a decade away from the industry. “I’m not a big collaborator,” she explained. “It has to be very intentional, so I’ll know when I have the record.” RiRi is playing up the notion that she’s retired in public. That said, she’s made it very clear that she’s hard at work on new music behind closed doors.

Metro Boomin Teases “Savage Mode III” Despite 21 Savage Tensions

by

Metro Boomin has lots of friends in the industry. The producer has ascended up the food chain in the 2020s, and become one of the most popular collaborators in hip-hop. His solo albums are a who’s who when it comes to modern day superstars. Drake is the big exception to this rule. Metro declared war on the 6 God with “Like That,” and well, the rest is history. It’s hard to imagine Metro and Drake ever being cool again. The relationship that fans are worried about is between Metro and 21 Savage. Let Metro tell it, though, and things are good as ever.

Metro Boomin hopped on X (formerly Twitter) on June 5 to tease new music. He’s already confirmed that he has tracks cooking with The Weeknd and JID, but he teased the anticipated, hallowed Savage Mode III instead. The producer posted a video of an unreleased instrumental, and X user Crew Shiesty retweeted it. “I ain’t gonna hold you,” he wrote. “This sounds like Savage Mode III.” There hasn’t been confirmation from Metro or 21, but the internet did what the internet does and ran with it. DJ Akademiks reposted the X exchange on Instagram, furthering adding to the hype.

Metro Boomin Teased A New Instrumental On X

If this snippet is in fact from Savage Mode III, than Metro Boomin and 21 Savage have managed to dodge a bullet. The two artists came down on different sides of the Drake beef, with Metro being against and 21 trying to stand with both sides. The rapper even got on Instagram Live to assure fans that everything will eventually smooth over. “Don’t keep coming on my motherf*ckin’ Live talkin’ about motherf*ckin’ beef,” he told fans. “Metro my brother and Drake my brother. They gonna figure that sh*t out eventually.”

21 Savage and Metro Boomin got into a heated exchange during another Instagram Live. The latter went in the comment section and dubbed 21 “OVO Savage,” which led the rapper to kick him out. Savage then used the infamous Drake insult from “Push Ups,” and told Metro to shut his h*e a*s up and “make some drums.” This is the exchange that led fans to question whether the tension from the Drake situation had boiled over into their friendship. Hopefully the Savage Mode III rumors are true, and we get this dynamic duo back together.

Ice Spice Unveils Cover Art And Release Date For Her Debut Album “Y2K”

by

Ice Spice is an artist who has been exploding in popularity since 2022. Overall, the song “Munch” was a viral hit, and since that time, the artist has leveled up with co-signs from Drake, Nicki Minaj, and even Taylor Swift. She has had some massive singles and even found herself on the Barbie soundtrack. Needless to say, she is a massive artist in the world of hip-hop, even if some fans are a bit skeptical as to what she will be able to produce next.

For instance, the artist has been teasing her debut album. This has come with singles such as “Gimmie A Light” and “Think U The Shit.” Unfortunately, these singles have not received the reception the artist was probably hoping for. However, that is not stopping her from carrying forth the rollout for her debut project, Y2K. In fact, this morning, the artist revealed that the album will be dropping on Friday, July 26th. She also showcased the cover art, which is full of old early 2000s aesthetics.

Ice Spice Is Ready To Drop

For now, it remains to be seen what the tracklist and features list will be like for the project. However, Ice Spice has been promising some surprises. Not to mention, with the album dropping in about a month and a half from now, we imagine there will be at least another single to come before the album arrives on DSPs. Hopefully, the artist is able to deliver something that can live up to the hype of her first EP.

Let us know what you think of this album cover, in the comments section down below. Are you excited for this new album from Ice Spice? What are your expectations for the project as a whole?

James Blake Teases Lil Yachty’s Vulnerable Side On New Collab Album

by

James Blake and Lil Yachty are about as different as two artists can be on the surface. One broke through making glitchy, sad boy electronica, while the other burst onto the scene making happy and colorful pop-rap. The notion that they would collaborate on a single song, much less an entire album, would have been baffling a decade ago. Yet, that’s exactly what Blake and Yachty are gearing up for. These eclectic artists are going to be dropping the album Bad Cameo, and have been hyping it up in interviews.

Blake talked about the sound and overall aesthetic of the album during a recent Complex feature. The artist is going for a vulnerable feel, which tracks for anyone who’s heard a second of a James Blake song, but he noted how shockingly different it will be for Lil Yachty. “We got a really vulnerable side of Yachty in some of those sessions,” he explained. Blake told the outlet that he’d been a fan of Lil Boat for years, but he didn’t feel as though their styles were complimentary until the rapper dropped his latest album, Let’s Start Here. In Blake’s estimation, that was a pivotal turning point.

James Blake Praised Lil Yachty’s Experimentation

James Blake claimed he was completely blindsided by the album. “When I heard his last record, I was like, this is really a turn,” he recalled. “Not many artists are brave enough to do something that’s kind of opposite of the last thing they did.” The rest of the Complex piece took the form of a conversation with Blake and Yachty. Once more, however, the electronic artist pointed out Yachty’s propensity for happy music. Lil Yachty cited Paul McCartney and Wings’ “Let ‘Em In” as one of the first songs he remembers singing as a child, and Blake was quick to draw parallels to Yachty’s own music.

“This, to be honest, explains a lot just from your musical sensibilities,” Blake told the rapper. “[It’s] happy music. I noticed that that runs through your music.” He then explained the ways in which his and Yachty’s styles blended on Bad Cameo. “I mean, on this record you were talking about so many different things. There’s pain, there’s happiness, there’s everything in between. But that vibe is so sunny and it’s kind of what your disposition is in your music.” Sounds like a fascinating blend.

Estee Nack & Producer Boneweso Drop Off Collab Tape “SYSTEMATICALLY WE WERE NEVER FREE” On Bandcamp

by

The East Coast underground scene is back with a new and intriguing release for hardcore hip-hop heads. Two Massachusetts artists, Estee Nack and Boneweso are here with a collaborative album, SYSTEMATICALLY WE WERE NEVER FREE. Estee Nack flourishes as a rapper and a vocalist, whereas Boneweso is spitter and beat maker. The latter is not originally from the states, nor is his main background hip-hop. According to Genius, he is more well-known for his Dominican Republic roots. He has worked in the lanes of reggaeton, salsa, bachata, and Latin music.

However, his profile does mention that he has some trap rap experience, so there is that. But clearly Estee and Boneweso have developed some chemistry and respect since the producer moved. As for Nack, he might be known by Griselda fans. Westside Gunn is the main man, but he has also been seen with Nicholas Craven, too.

Ski Mask The Slump God Confirms New Album Coming This Week

by

It’s about time. Ski Mask the Slump God was part of the Soundcloud generation that broke out in the 2010s. He worked closely with other Florida rappers like XXXTentacion and Denzel Curry, while at the same time carving out his own eccentric lane. His debut album, Stokeley, was a testament to this. The thing is, Stokeley came out in 2018. Fans have waited six years to hear new Ski Mask music. Thankfully, the wait is over. The sophomore album, 11th Dimension, is almost here.

Ski Mask the Slump God dropped an album teaser on June 1. The teaser opens on complete darkness, while an elderly voice asks the rapper where he’s been. Then there’s a hard cut to his face in close up, which is shrouded in darkness. The elderly voice continues to question Ski Mask’s absence. “They are asking where you are,” the voice states. “Asking where you have been.” The rapper then turns his head up, showing that half of his face is scarred. “Said I’m fighting my demons,” he says, before giving us a glimpse of a verse from the album.

Ski Mask The Slump God’s Last Album Dropped In 2018

The most unexpected part of the teaser, however, comes at the tail end. The camera zooms out to show Ski Mask the Slump God sitting on the floor of an empty white room. He can be seen wearing white angel wings, and his arms are tied. Hard cut to the release date, which is June 7. This is a thrilling development for an album that was first announced in 2021. Ski Mask revealed the album title, 11th Dimension, a year later, and there have been two singles released thus far. “Shibuya” dropped in March, and “Headrush” in May.

Ski Mask the Slump God has kept his inspiration behind a secret, but he did tease a dream list of collabs for 11th Dimension back in 2021. “I want to try and have Tyler, the Creator on it,” he told XXL. “I want to try and have Don Toliver, try and have Dominic Fike. He’s somebody I’ve always wanted to work with… I want to try and work with Post [Malone] at least.” There hasn’t been an official tracklist released, so it’s unclear whether Ski Mask was able to secure any of these features for the finished product.
