Zach Zoya Opts For An Alternative Soundscape On His Cheery “It’s Always Sunny In Glendale” EP

October 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Zach Zoya is a pretty eclectic guy and doesn’t really conform to one genre and he shows that blissful ignorance on It’s Always Sunny in Glendale. This the fourth EP from the Canadian youngster, who made this project based on some experiences between Montreal and Los Angeles, as well as Glendale. In his announcement, Zoya said, “New city, new vibes, new energy, new people around me, new trials and tribulations, new ups and downs. Safe to say this past year has been a deeply challenging and formative one,” he began. “I only get to do what I do because of the team behind me, friends around, music lovers everywhere. Thank you to everyone who’s helped me make this project a reality. What a life, spent my twenties chasing sunshine.”

Clearly, this project has a lot of personal weight in his eyes, and we can hear the passion in each track. Whether he’s singing or rapping, he’s making sure to bring it 110% every time. Throughout the 17-minute listening experience, it’s definitely taking us back to those hotter months as the grooves and instrumentals embody the West Coast. You can tell that Zoya was heavily inspired by the new sights he got to witness during the making of Always Sunny in Glendale. The project arrives after a highly raved performance at Osheaga earlier in the year. So, overall, he’s definitely on a high right now and we are here for it.

RiTchie Links With Producer FearDorian For Six-Track EP “Quiet Warp Xpress”

October 1, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It was just several months ago that RiTchie (Nathaniel Ritchie of Injury Reserve) began his solo career. The Phoenix, Arizona multi-genre talent did so by delivering “RiTchie Valens”. That would eventually go on to be the lead-off track for his solo debut album, Triple Digits [112]. The 14-song offering went on to receive some pretty decent reviews from fans and critics for its wild experimentation. It boasted features from the likes of Amine, Quelle Chris, and Niontay. After that, RiTchie decided to keep up the production just earlier this month with another single, “Cc Me”. For it, he recruited FearDorian, another fellow undergrounder who has been making some noise working with the likes of AyooLi and Polo Perks.

They put out their collaborative record, A Dog’s Chance, this past June. “Cc Me” would go on to serve as a lead single for this new joint EP between RiTchie and Dorian, Quiet Warp Xpress. This new duo would give us one more just a few days prior to this six-track effort’s release with the second-to-last cut, “Broke The Mold”. Both artists overall have very quirky and off-the-wall tendencies, so them linking for an extended play isn’t too surprising. However, what is a little shocking is the lack of cohesion and how rough it sounds. Reviews online are pointing to the loose song structures and nonchalant performances by RiTchie. We have to say we sort of agree with those opinions, sadly, However, we still want you to check out as much new music as possible so spin Quiet Warp Xpress and let us know what you think.

Quiet Warp Xpress Tracklist:

Kay Flock Feeds Fans From Behind Bars With “Make America Flock Again” EP

September 24, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kay Flock has been making waves within the New York drill scene for the last three years or so. He’s got multiple hits in his brief but still growing catalog to show for it. Songs like “PSA”, “Is Ya Ready”, and “Being Honest” are all RIAA Gold-certified. You can’t also forget about “Not In The Mood” with Fivio Foreign and “Shake It” with Cardi B, Dougie B, and Bory300 either. Sadly, though, his run has sort of been clipped by his run-ins with the law. For quite some time now, Kay Flock has been behind bars on charges of racketeering, murder, attempted murder, and more. He’s been updating his fans on his progress while in custody, but there’s a chance he could be locked up for good.

His legal team has tried to get him out on bail, offering up $1.4 million and to go through house arrest instead. However, it seems like prosecutors are going to move forward with a trial. Reports in late February pointed to a possible start date of sometime in September. So far, though, there haven’t been any updates. What we can tell you, however, is that Kay Flock is back with new music. It comes in the form of a five-track EP featuring a slew of NY talent. Make America Flock Again sees him work with past collaborators such as Lil Tjay on the fine opener “Fed Up”, as well others like AC Zoe, B-Lovee, and more.

Make America Flock Again – Kay Flock

Make America Flock Again Tracklist:

Fed Up (feat. Lil Tjay)
What You On (feat. AC Zoe & B-Lovee)
Clicking (feat. Stunna)
Everything K (feat. Kenzo Balla & TG Crippy)

The Weeknd Brings Out Multiple Versions Of “Dancing In The Flames”

September 16, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The Weeknd is finally rolling out his next studio album, Hurry Up Tomorrow, as we speak. Over the weekend (no pun intended), the Canadian hitmaker got things going by giving fans an official album cover, bundle pre-saves, as well as a lead single. The latter goes by “Dancing In The Flames” and concertgoers in Sao Paulo, Brazil were able to hear it first and in live format. Overall, it’s a very solid lead-off track, and in some ways, it gives similar vibes to “Blinding Lights” with how instantly replayable it is. With this supposedly being Abel Tesfaye’s last album under The Weeknd moniker and it being the final installment in this latest triology, the lyricism ties in nicely.

“Traffic dies while we are racin’ home / Melted lights cover the open road / I hope we make it, ’cause I’ve been chasin’ / Another odyssey, oh“. Since its release on Friday, September 13, fans have been wanting the live version of it to be available on streaming. Well, he announced it would be coming and now it’s here for all to revisit. On top of the “Live From Sao Paulo” edition, there’s an additional four to check out as well. There’s variants such as “Acoustic”, “Acapella”, “Instrumental”, and of course, the original. If you’re on Apple Music, videos from YouTube are included in the EP, too. Stream the all of them at your leisure below.

Molly Santana Unleashes New EP “Masonic Musik”

September 15, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It’s already been a big year for Molly Santana. The LA-based underground artist unleashed her self-titled debut studio album back in April, serving up 14 experimental tracks that boast the influence of various genres. Clearly, Santana had plenty more where that came from, as she just dropped yet another new project.

Last week, she released a new EP, Masonic Musik. Per a press release, the six-track project is intended to be “her most emotionally vulnerable, daring, and accomplished project to date.” Again, Santana’s latest effort incorporates elements of EDM, making the EP fun and experimental. Santana also highlights both her rapping and singing skills on the project, putting her versatility on full display. It features her moody track “Windows Up,” which she released as a single in August of this year.

Masonic Musik arrives after Santana has gotten co-signs from the likes of Wiz Khalifa, Cole Bennett of Lyrical Lemonade, and more. It also follows her 20-date tour across North America, which she wrapped up late last month. This year, Santana joined Ski Mask The Slump God on his “11th Dimension” tour as well, opening for the Florida-born rapper alongside Hardrock. What do you think of Molly Santana’s new EP, Masonic Musik? Will you be adding it to your playlist or not? Which track is your favorite? Are you looking forward to hearing more from the LA-based artist? Share your thoughts in the comments section and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates. Check out the project down below.

Wale Builds Momentum With Chaz French Collab “What’s The Play”

September 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Wale is on the horizon of dropping a new album and although we don’t know anything else yet, that’s enough to get us excited. The Washington D.C. rapper has been inching his way back into the limelight as of late with his biggest step being a new tour. In just five days, he will be embarking on a 33-day trek across North America and it’s called Every Blue Moon. The Tour. There’s a chance we could be getting the project within the next couple of months, but no one really knows yet. For now though, Wale has been treating his starving fans with a few singles over the last week and “What’s The Play” is the latest one.

Prior to this, the “Lotus Flower Bomb” artist put out a two-track EP called Ghetto Speak. It consisted of the title track and “Mission Statement”. Both brought some more conscious ideas to the table like the pros and cons of growing up in D.C. Now, with “What’s The Play”, which features Chaz French, Wale is asking himself how he should continue to move. He acknowledges his own absence on the chorus and wonders if he’s still got real supporters still out there. Again, there’s more to like here in terms of substance, but Wale also gives a dynamic vocal performance, too. Check out the single with the link below.

“What’s The Play” – Wale & Chaz French

Quotable Lyrics:

N****S DON’T WANT PROBLEMS LIKE WE WANT IT
ANY DEEPER IN THE FIELD ID HAVE CLEATS ON ME
YALL NEEDED YALL VILLAIN 13 SUMMERS
BUT I BE STILL RUNNING S*** LIKE YALL IN DEEP COVERAGE
I DONT NEED FRIENDS I NEED BROTHERS
I DONT NEED A WOMAN I JUST NEED LUGGAGE

Drake & Benny The Butcher’s “Buffalo Freestyle” Vanishes From Streaming Services

August 24, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Earlier this week, Benny The Butcher fans were greeted by a welcome surprise, the Griselda rapper’s new EP Buffalo Butch, Vol. 1. The project boasts various high-profile features from the likes of Fabolous, 38 Spesh, and of course, Drake. Their long-awaited collab “Buffalo Freestyle” was a fan favorite, but sadly, it along with the rest of the EP was quickly removed from streaming services.

For obvious reasons, fans are disappointed, and wondering what happened. Reportedly, it disappeared from Spotify yesterday (August 23), and other streaming services followed shortly after. For now, it remains unclear exactly what prompted its removal, but as expected, social media users have some theories.

Fans Wonder Why Buffalo Butch, Vol. 1 Got Removed

Benny the Butcher and Drake’s “Buffalo Freestyle” Has Been Removed From Streaming

Two tracks from the EP, the ones that do not feature Drake, are still live on Benny’s YouTube channel. “Buffalo Freestyle” says it’s been removed due to a copyright claim by Universal Music Group. Benny The Butcher has yet to address the debacle. This is far from the first time there have been issues with the release of the song, however. Benny first announced that he recorded a track with Drake in 2020. In 2021, he shared that they traded songs to appear on each others’ projects, adding that it may not ever come out. He noted that he was frustrated by the situation, but didn’t blame Drake.

“I was pissed, I’m not gon’ lie. It’s a f*cking Drake record,” he said at the time of the track not getting an official release. “It was my biggest record…It’s a record just sitting in my pocket but I understand the mechanics of the business… No way did I take it like ‘Damn he f*cked me over.’ I swear to God I didn’t take it like that because this is Drake; the biggest artist in the world.” What do you think of Benny The Butcher’s new EP, Buffalo Butch, Vol. 1, disappearing from streaming services? Are you disappointed? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Quando Rondo Releases “Here For A Reason: In The Darkest Time” EP Amid Legal Troubles

August 19, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Quando Rondo has been having a hard time staying out of trouble with the law throughout his career. Currently, the Savannah, Georgia rapper is awaiting a prison sentence after pleading guilty to his 2023 federal drug trafficking investigation. The charges included of drug conspiracy and participating in criminal street gang activity. His time behind bars will be determined on December 12, according to WTOC 11. He is currently facing a maximum of up to five years. However, it could have been 20 had he not accepted a plea deal in addition to pleading guilty to a lesser charge. That was a conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute and to distribute controlled substances.

While Quando Rondo is out on bond, he is sharing some a new EP, Here for a Reason: In The Darkest Time. Moreover, this is now another instance where he’s dropped material for his fans during his legal dilemmas. “Cash” was the most recent release, but it does not make the cut for Quando Rondo’s Here for a Reason. However, “Gotta Do Better & Pray”, an August 2 single, is on this five-song EP. Throughout the 14-minute listen, Quando Rondo is retelling his rough upbringing, how the police have it out for him and more. He even interpolates the iconic hook from 50 Cent’s “Many Men” on “Could’ve Been Me”. It seems that Quando Rondo is trying to paint himself in a more positive light but listen for yourself with the links below.

Lil Mosey Drops New EP, “Love U Forever,” As An Independent Artist

August 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Lil Mosey has shared a new EP titled Love U Forever, after dropping the latest single for the project, “By Yourself,” two weeks ago. The new project comes after he separated from his former label and inked a deal to go independent with Cinq Music, earlier this year. “I’m excited to finally be able to release independently,” Lil Mosey back in March. “I’m grateful to have a partner like Cinq and Barry. I know that we will do great things together.”

Mosey shared the release on his Instagram page on Friday, resulting in mixed feelings from fans. Some have been loving the direction he’s going in with the new music. One top comment reads: “I Love ‘So what’ my personal favorite on the EP and I’m messin w the new era heavy! Keep it up bro!” Not all of the reactions have been so positive, however. One more popular response complains: “This album is sh*t ngl all the songs sound the exact same it’s just that boring ass voice. He lost all his energy in his songs, this ep trash.” Outside of music, Mosey recently discussed his legal case, in which he was found not guilty of rape, with HotNewHipHop. Be on the lookout for further updates on Lil Mosey on HNHH and check out Love U Forever below.

Drake Shows Love To His Streaming Fans, Drops Off “100 GIGS” EP

August 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It was bound to happen at some point. Drake has just put “It’s Up,” “Blue Green Red”, and “Housekeeping Knows”, aka 100 GIGS, on DSPs. All three songs were a part of 100 GB of numerous files, videos, and random clips that the Canadian icon decided to share with the world. All of this is available on 100gigs.org, a site he launched on August 6. As of now, we aren’t really sure what Drake’s plan is right now by releasing all of this content. Sure, he supposedly took the time to respond to A$AP Rocky’s subliminals on “It’s Up”. But as far as we can tell, none of his bars were digs at Kendrick Lamar.

21 Savage did seem to have his sights set on him on the track we just mentioned, though. The only slight indicator that shows that something is possibly brewing is an IG account that Drake follows. It goes by indigochild369 and in the user’s bio it reads, “First account made some people anxious. Here we go again round 2 “‘FIGHT’”. That message presumably alludes to the plottttwiistttttt page that Drake put together during this 100gigs.org rollout. This could all be a ploy to try and get under Lamar’s skin, which is something Drake did plenty of during “round one”. Obviously, though he would be quite foolish to do that again based on the results. But yes, as it stands, Drake is doing what he does best with this 100 GIGS release, and these next few weeks will be interesting to monitor.
