Kodak Black Brings Together “The Next Generation Of Stars” On “Vulture Love Presents: The Last Zombies On Earth”

June 1, 2024 by newhiphopnews

“I got the next generation of stars. I have a voice in this game and I’m using it to put my artists on until everyone knows their names. Watch out for Vulture Love. We ain’t stopping”. Those were the quoted words of label head Kodak Black, according to The Source, about his new collection of signees.

It is quite the long list of names, with some of the bigger ticket artists being Lil Crix, G6 (G6reddot), VVsnce, and GorditoFlo. The last time that Kodak Black dropped a label project was back in 2021. That was a venture with the more widely known Sniper Gang called Sniper Gang Presents Syko Bob & Snapkatt: Nightmare Babies. If you remember that tape featured Kodak’s smash hit “Super Gremlin”.

Listen To Vulture Love Presents: The Last Zombies On Earth By Vulture Love & Kodak Black

There might not be a clear standout song in this Vulture Love Presents: The Last Zombies On Earth tracklist. But where this debut album succeeds is giving these up-and-coming artists a great platform to make their voices heard. Most of the beats slap, and it makes it that much easier for names like G6, VVsnce, and etc. to give strong performances. Kodak is of course featured on several cuts here, but this all about what Vulture Love is offering and will provide in the future.

Tems Reveals Tracklist For Her Upcoming Album “Born In The Wild”

May 31, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Tems has been one of the true breakout stars of the 2020s. The singer went from relative obscurity to headlining radio hits alongside rappers like Drake and Future. She even got the lead singer on a Black Panther soundtrack. The anticipation for her album has been at a fever pitch since it was announced back in 2022, and we finally have a tracklist. The Nigerian singer previously released the album cover, but the tracklist gives us a better feel for what she has in store, musically speaking.

Tems’ body of work so far has been concise and largely EP driven. Born In the Wild is a chance for her to display her artistry over a lengthy period, and she’s taking advantage of it. The album has 18 songs on it, and the features are minimal. It’s obvious the singer has the chops and the confidence to carry the lion’s share of the album on her own. Asake, another Nigerian artist, is featured on the song “Get It Right,” and J Cole will appear on “Free Fall.” The latter is a fascinating choice, given that Tems has worked with the other two rappers in the so-called Big Three. She’s made two hit songs with Drake, and she had a Q&A with Kendrick Lamar in 2023.

Tems Scored Features From Asake And J Cole

A post shared by TEMS (@temsbaby)

Tems talked about the recording process of Born In the Wild during her Interview Magazine chat with Lamar. She told the rapper that she didn’t intend to make the album so personal in theme. She was just compelled to dig into her own life whenever she stepped in the booth. “Sometimes it freaks me out,” she explained. “Sometimes I freestyle to a point where I can’t feel my feet. I’ve entered somewhere and I don’t even know where I am anymore. I’m just pouring out my gut and then when I’m done, I don’t remember what I just did.”

Tems also claimed that she encountered several “lightning in a bottle” moments during the making of the album. Moments in which she gave herself over to her artistic muse, and operated on instinct. It’s hard to find, but it’s special when you find it. “It’s like tuning a radio and you find a channel, but the thing is, once you lose that channel, you can’t find it again,” she told Lamar. “You can find another channel, another freestyle, another thing, but not that. Unless you’re really, really tapped in.”

Big Sean Hints At New Album, Fans Joke That Kendrick Lamar Will Drop At The Same Time

May 31, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Big Sean fans may have a new album on the way soon. He hasn’t dropped a new album since 2020’s Detroit 2 but that long wait could be over soon. He pulled up in the Instagram comments of fellow Detroit rapper Eminem. Em announced his upcoming new album The Death Of Slim Shady earlier this year and just shared the project’s lead single “Houdini.” Sean was hyping the track up with comments like “Not gon lie, u went crazy” and a series of fire emojis. But his final comment is one one fans have honed in on as it hints at when his next album could drop.

“I’m dropping right after Marshall then. Takeover time,” his final comment reads. Em hasn’t announced a specific release date for The Death Of Slim Shady yet. There is a chance Sean knows something that the general public doesn’t and is plotting his new album to drop after Em’s. But it’s more likely just a promise that he’s been hard at work and a new project is coming soon. But as is often the case when rumors of new music spark around Big Sean somebody else’s name came up, Kendrick Lamar. Check out what some fans had to say about Sean’s newest album tease below.

Big Sean Album Teases Leads Fans To Bring Up Kendrick

Whenever news about Big Sean emerges, fans inevitably make jokes about Kendrick Lamar coming in to steal his thunder. It all goes back to the pair’s collaboration “Control” where Lamar is notorious for having stolen the show. That was the case again earlier this year when Sean released his new single “Precision.” The same weekend Kendrick once again stole the show with his verse on Futrue & Metro Boomin’s “Like That.” The song sparked the massive beef between Lamar and Drake that’s become the biggest rap story of the year.

What do you think of Kendrick Lamar being the first thought on many fan’s minds when Big Sean teases his new album? Are you looking forward to the release of his long-awaited new project later this year? Let us know in the comment section below.

Kendrick Lamar Is “Locked In,” Terrace Martin Confirms Amid New Album Rumors

May 31, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Rumors that Kendrick Lamar plans to drop a new album this year have been flying for months now and began even before his viral rap beef with Drake. While this has yet to be confirmed by the “Not Like Us” performer, fans have high hopes, especially as his peers continue to drop cryptic hints at what’s to come. Terrace Martin, for example, recently took to Twitter/X to address a fan asking about what Kendrick’s been up to. According to him, he has big things on the way.

“Sounds like a big W,” the fan wrote in response to an announcement about Roddy Ricch. “But who is locked in with Dot now?” Martin then made it clear that Kendrick has been working alongside several artists, though he didn’t specify exactly who they are aside from himself. “All of us,” he said.

Kendrick Lamar Is Working With “All Of Us,” Terrace Martin Reveals

He didn’t give fans any more details than that, leaving them to speculate in the comments section. These are far from the first mumblings fans have heard of new Kendrick music, however. In April, Rory & Mal chatted about his response to Drake, which had not yet arrived, on their podcast. Mal claimed that a “little bird” told him it was taking so long because Kendrick was saving it for a new album, which would drop in May of this year. Obviously, June is just around the corner and that’s yet to drop, but if there’s any truth to what Mal said, it could mean his next project is imminent.

What do you think of Terrace Martin confirming that Kendrick Lamar is “locked in” with him and various others? What about rumors that the hitmaker could be dropping a new album sometime this year? Are you looking forward to hearing whatever he’s working on? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Belly Speaks Up For His Homeland On “96 Miles From Bethlehem”

May 31, 2024 by newhiphopnews

“I got a lot more to say..” That is what Belly had to say on Instagram one day ago while announcing his surprise new album 96 Miles From Bethlehem. The rapper and singer is of Palestinian descent, as he was born in Jenin, which is in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. Fittingly, the name of the album is actually how far his hometown is from Bethlehem. Belly has been one of the leading voices, musically speaking, during this heartbreaking war. Now, he is here to further his message on this concise nine-song offering.

Unbeknownst to us, Belly dropped off the lead single, “Patience vs. Patients”, on Wednesday. It was a short one minute and change effort to call out the government for its blatant lies against aiding the Palestinians. During that aforementioned reveal of 96 Miles From Bethlehem, Belly made it known to his fans that all of the money made from this project would go towards aiding his people. That includes profits from the merchandise sold as well.

Listen To 96 Miles From Bethlehem By Belly

Throughout the 19 minutes of runtime, Belly leaves it all out there, both from a vocal and instrumental perspective. This listen is not meant for bangers, it is meant to be slightly uncomfortable and eye-opening. 96 Miles From Bethlehem is certainly that, as the beats and tones of each track are dark and gloomy. Belly recruits his Palestinian brothers and sisters Saint Levant, Ibrahim Maalouf, Eylanna, and MC Abdul to deliver some powerful moments. All in all, Belly succeeds here on his official fourth album.

What are your thoughts on 96 Miles From Bethlehem by Belly? Is this one of his best albums of his career, why or why not? What song do you view as the best in terms of its message? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Belly. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

96 Miles From Bethlehem Tracklist:

Metal Birds
Blue Bags

Crucifix
Baroudeh with Saint Levant
Carry Me with Ibrahim Maalouf
Maktub with MC Abdul
The Gift, The Curse, and The Fate

Tha Dogg Pound Reunite For Celebratory “W.A.W.G. (We All We Got)” With Assistance From Snoop Dogg

May 31, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Tha Dogg Pound is back once again after a decently long hiatus with their ninth studio album W.A.W.G. (We All We Got). This is the West Coast duo’s follow-up to their 2021 outing Dpg 4 Life. Over the last several weeks, Kurupt and Daz Dillinger, as well their close affiliate, Snoop Dogg, have been teasing the tape with singles and music videos. “Smoke Up”, “We All We Got”, and “Favorite Color Blue”, were the lead-off tracks.

This is a major release for several reasons, with perhaps the biggest reason being that cousins, Snoop and Daz, were at odds with each other. Dogg was the one who was having issues it seemed, as he stated he was unsure if he wanted to work alongside him. But after the recent tragic loss of Bing Worthington. Snoop’s brother, the two rekindled their relationship and it is mainly why this record exists.

Listen To W.A.W.G. (We All We Got) By Tha Dogg Pound & Snoop Dogg

The new owner of Death Row Records appears all over this 14-song project, and he is just one of many high-profile features. Other names include DaBaby, Blxst, Tha Eastsidaz, Butch Cassidy, among others. The producers are stacked too, with Mike & Keys, DJ Battlecat, DJ Premier, and more. Overall, Kurupt and Daz Dillinger are providing a lot of energy and grittiness to each track, and the beats are very colorful and lively, as you might expect with the talent onboard.

What are your thoughts on W.A.W.G. (We All We Got) by Tha Dogg Pound and Snoop Dogg? Do you think that this is a top-tier Dogg Pound project, why or why not? Who had the strongest guest performance? What song do view as the best and why? Which song did Snoop provide his best stuff? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.

Roddy Ricch Reveals New Era With “The Navy Album” Announcement

May 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Roddy Ricch is an artist who has been through a lot over the last few years. Overall, he delivered one of the best albums of 2019 with Please Excuse Me For Being Anti-Social. The album was absolutely incredible and contained some of the best pop-rap songwriting of the year. However, with subsequent projects like Live Life Fast and Feed Tha Streets III, fans felt like something was missing. It subsequently led to some people proclaiming that Roddy Ricch had fallen off.

In today’s day and age, fans are too fast when it comes to calling the downfall of an artist. It has been proven over and over again that one song is all it takes to get an artist back in the good graces of fans. Given Roddy’s track record when it comes to writing hits, there is no doubt that he still has a lot of gas left in the tank. In fact, the artist is ready to show that as he recently took to social media with an announcement. Later this year, he will be dropping off a new project called The Navy Album.

Roddy Ricch Is Back

For now, it remains to be seen when this album will be released. It is slated to drop later this year, but we don’t have an exact release date at this time. Fans are hoping for a summer release, although there are no guarantees at this point. This was simply an initial announcement to get fans excited. So far, the mission has been accomplished. Hopefully, the artist is able to prove everyone wrong.

Let us know whether or not you are excited about this new Roddy Ricch project, in the comments below. What do you think about his last couple of projects? Do you believe that he fell off or were people on social media just too harsh? 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.

Big Hit, Hit-Boy And The Alchemist Deliver On Gritty “Black & Whites”

May 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Big Hit, Hit-Boy and The Alchemist represent three different phases of hip-hop. Big Hit brings the gritty appeal of an industry veteran despite being relatively new to the game. His son, Hit-Boy, has been one of the most versatile producers of the last decade. The Alchemist, meanwhile, has been lacing beats for the best rappers in the game for over thirty years. There was a risk that bunching them together would result in their strengths canceling out, resulting in a subpar album. Thankfully, that’s not what happened here.

Black & Whites, the debut album from this trio, is a triumph. In a very particular field, that is. The album is not going for summer playlists or radio play, it’s going for the grime and the soulfulness of the best street albums the genre has to offer. “Heartless” sees Big Hit weave cold-blooded bars over an Alchemist beat with a gorgeous vocal sample. There’s no drums, just Hit’s propulsive flow and Alc’s wizardy working in tandem. The soul chops on “Sly, Slick & Wicked” and the titular track are worth the price of admission. Hit-Boy and Alchemist have incredible chemistry behind the boards, and nearly steal the show from their emcee. Fortunately, Big Hit brings his A-game whenever he’s paired with guest features.

Big Hit And His Producers Attempt Different Styles

The rapper and Boldy James sound mean as hell on the the East Coast-centric “Godfather, Pt. 2.” Then the former turns around and trades verse space with HitgirlLENA on the effortlessly catchy, West Coast-bounce of “Gank Move.” “Gank Move” closes out Black & Whites on a deceptively warm note, but most of what’s here is chilly, efficient, and excellently made. If you liked the promo single “Drug Tzar,” you’re going to love the rest of what’s here.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new album Black & Whites by Big Hit, Hit-Boy and The Alchemist? Do you think the two producers work well together? What is the best song? Do you want to hear future projects from the trio? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Big Hit, Hit-Boy and The Alchemist. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on around the music world.

Patti LaBelle Wants To Collaborate With Cardi B On Her New Album

May 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Patti LaBelle is not letting age slow her down. The legendary soul singer turned 80 on May 24, and she has plans to celebrate the milestone birthday with a new album. LaBelle went on Entertainment Tonight to discuss the upcoming release, and she made it clear that one person towers above all the rest when it comes to her dream collaborator list. She wants to get in the studio with Cardi B, of all people, and churn out a hit with the “Bodak Yellow” rapper as soon as possible.

“She’s like one of my new best friends,” LaBelle told the outlet. “To know that [Cardi] was into Patti LaBelle. She’s like my new buddy.” The icon also announced the title and tenative release date for her upcoming, hopefully Cardi-featuring album. “It should be out at the end of this year and it’s called 8065,” she explained. “I’m 80 years young and 65 years in show business.” The notion of Patti LaBelle and Cardi B linking up may seem bizarre at first glance, but the two have actually been friendly in the past.

Patti LaBelle Considers Cardi B A Close Friend

LaBelle praised the rapper during a Tamron Hall appearance in 2023. “I’ve always wanted to meet [Cardi],” she admitted. “And when I met her she said, ‘I’m just so excited to meet you.’ She’s not a diva. She’s a beautiful spirit.” The singer went as far as to refer to Cardi as “baby Patti” after they collaborated on a Good Life/Whipshots marketing partnership. The admiration is mutual. When Cardi was asked about the aforementioned partnership, she admitted to being starstruck. “I feel like I’m not worthy, I just feel so shook,” she told People. “I got to take [inspiration] from [her].”

The irony of a potential Patti LaBelle and Cardi B song is that it would appear on an album by the former instead of the latter. LaBelle has dozens of albums to her name, dating back to the 1960s, but Cardi only has one. The rapper has kept fans waiting for the follow up to her acclaimed debut, Invasion of Privacy. She recently announced that it would not be coming in 2024. “Anyway NO album this year,” she tweeted in May. “I don’t care I’m relaxing this year. Dropping these features I already committed to and traveling and enjoying my summer.” Hopefully LaBelle is one of these alleged features.

Vince Staples’ New Album Gets Co-Signed By Rock Legend Flea

May 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Vince Staples has won over the world with his new album, Dark Times. Despite being one of the bleakest and densest releases of his career, the album has received universal praise critics and fans. The L.A. MC has also gotten a co-sign from one of the definitive West Coast bands of the last four decades: Red Hot Chili Peppers. The bassist for the band, Flea, hopped on X (formerly Twitter) on May 26 to praise Dark Times and Staples’ approach to songwriting.

Flea is a man of few words, but a lot of personality. It’s what makes him arguably the most famous bass player of all time. His Dark Times review was predictably brief yet succinct: “New Vince Staples so deep and good,” he wrote. Flea has been an advocate of hip-hop since the 1990s. He told AllHipHop that his favorite producer is J Dilla, whom he was put onto during a jam session with Erykah Badu. “I was doing this thing,” he recalled in 2012. “I was playing with Erykah Badu a while ago, you know, and she really…got me into J Dilla… It was like brought me to tears because of how beautiful it is.”

Flea Has Liked Vince Staples And OF For Years

— Flea (@flea333) May 26, 2024

Flea has also voiced support for Odd Future. “The Odd Future kids,” he singled out in the same interview. “I can [relate] just, in terms, like, it’s like wild, you know.” The similarities between OF and Red Hot Chili Peppers are obvious, especially considering how raucous the latter were in the 1980s. The bassist’s love for Odd Future hasn’t wavered, either. In 2023, Flea welcomed Earl Sweatshirt as a guest for his podcast, This Little Light. He praised the rapper’s dense wordplay and production style.

He also compared the OF crew to prime Wu-Tang Clan (who he is also a fan of). “You know, Wu-tang has been, like, a big thing for me a lot through the years,” he explained. “You know, all the solo records, and I love Ghostface and the Apollo Kids [album] he came out with.” Given Flea’s favorite hip-hop artists, it makes perfect sense that he would love Vince Staples. The rapper was an affiliate of Odd Future during their heyday, and he had arguably the best verse on Earl Sweatshirt’s major label debut, Doris. He knows talent when he hears it.
