Ella Mai Stuns Her Fans With Celebratory “3” EP

by

At the start of her career in the latter half of the 2010’s decade, London, England act Ella Mai was one of the trendiest R&B voices. She went viral for singles such as “Boo’d Up” and “Trip,” with the latter famously being remixed by Jacquees. However, she sort of faded a bit and stepped out of the limelight. She did lay down some features sporadically after 2018 for Chris Brown, Lil Durk, Wizkid, and most recently for Mustard’s Faith Of A Mustard Seed. But she’s been slowly working her way back in terms of her solo catalog. In 2022 she reappeared with her sophomore LP Heart On My Sleeve and then put out a deluxe almost a year later. Despite this, she’s been making more news for her relationship with Boston Celtics superstar and NBA champion boyfriend, Jayson Tatum.

They have stirred up pregnancy rumors and even matching “3” tattoos right behind their ears. Ironically, that ink has even more weight to it now, as 3 is the title of Ella Mai’s surprise EP. Fans have been running with theories that the lyrics on this three-song package are all references to their relationship (via Uproxx). The name of the EP certainly bolsters those beliefs as it could be a call back to the tattoo we just mentioned. While the speculation about their mysterious relationship is entertaining, a concrete reason as to why this EP is here is because Mai just turned 30! This is certainly a great way to celebrate the big day (November 3) and she felt there wasn’t a better time to drop. “My 30th birthday gift to you all ♏
3 songs. November 3rd. One of my favourite numbers. I’ve missed you all, three times over ❤,” she adorably wrote on IG. Check out 3 with the DSP links below and let us know what you think below.

Saweetie Wants To Be Naughty & Nice This Holiday Season On Her “Dear Big Santa” EP

by

The holiday season is the most magical time of the year for a lot of people. They love celebrating and getting in the spirit as soon as Halloween is in its waning moments. Decorations inside and out start to get put up, wish lists are made, and family time is spent as much as possible. Musicians do help in getting people in the right mindset, as carols and other iconic compositions are always on the radio or ringing throughout stores of all kinds. Overall, the really help spread that holiday cheer and set the vibes right for the next two months. California rapper Saweetie is looking to assist with that, as she is here with her Dear Big Santa EP.

Unless there’s someone we’ve missed, she looks to be the first in the genre to be releasing holiday tunes. These are her first Christmas songs of her career too, and they are naughty and nice. “I Want You This Christmas” is the cutesier and cuddlier record, as she sings and raps about treating her man right. However, “Big Santa” is the complete opposite. The are numerous sexual innuendos peppered throughout the song, such as “Put me on your wishlist, I know you wanna have me / I got a big bow on my body, unwrap me / Might be a little naughty, but you know I keep it classy (Mwah).” No matter where you fall on Santa’s list, Saweetie’s got you covered with an ideal anthem this Christmas.

Darren Waller Details What Life Has Been Like Lately On “Internal Warfare: This Too Shall Pass”

by

Darren Waller seems to be all about sharing his personal bouts with his fans because he’s doing just that on Internal Warfare: This Too Shall Pass. It’s his newest EP of 2024, and it boasts four tracks, and one lead single. The latter is “This Too Shall Pass,” which sees the ex-NFL star sing and rap passionately over a moody and forlorn beat about his struggles. However, on the uplifting chorus, he knows that things are going to improve over time. It’s also a message to his supporters and it feels like a real heart-to-heart moment on the record.

All of the themes and messages present on Internal Wafare really evoke a quote that Waller had in a recent press release. He says, “The title of this project accurately depicts what 2024 has been like for me. Lots of change has brought about all kinds of thoughts, emotions, and mood swings that have been overwhelming at times. At the same time, those have made room for greater clarity, allowing me to see all the good in my life and to know I’m right where I’m supposed to be.” There has definitely been a lot of moving pieces for Waller this year, as he shockingly retired from professional football after just nine years and also divorced from WNBA star Kelsey Plum following a year of marriage. These are major life shifts, but he’s battled tested and confident that he’s moving in the right direction on this EP.

JasonMartin (Problem) Comes Back With A Slick West Coast Bop “Killswitch”

by

JasonMartin, also known as Problem, has been having one heck of an underrated 2024. The underground West Coast mainstay put out a behemoth of a project in June with CHUPACABRA. 17 songs isn’t anything crazy by today’s standards, but it was massive in terms of collaborations. Almost every track had a feature and making this even more stacked was the fact that it was produced entirely by the iconic DJ Quik. It was dropped during the West Coast triumph that was Kendrick Lamar slaying Drake, and it featured a whole bunch of artists from the region. The Game, Big Hit, Larry June, and Jay Worthy are just few, and it was truly another uniting moment overall.

Sometimes with so many voices on one tape, things can get messy and incoherent. But CHUPACABRA was the complete opposite as it was full of bangers from front to back. Given how successful of a release it turned out to be, it would be a mistake to not capitalize on that momentum. So, JasonMartin is doing just that by coming through with a new single, “killswitch.” It’s actually an EP, but it’s a compilation of different versions of the one track. There’s a “Reversed” rendition which puts the last two verses to the front, which in turn changes the structure production wise too. Then, Jason included “Pt. 1” and “Pt. 2” offerings that divide the four verses up. Finally, there’s the instrumental as well. It’s another bop from Jason and Daz Dillinger has some uncredited contributions on the chorus and adlibs that are well done. Check it out below, you won’t want to turn it off.

Quotable Lyrics:

Don’t make me run a playback

‘Cause it’s time to eat

Ovrkast. & Cardo Experiment With Their Chemistry On New EP “KAST GOT WINGS”

by

Ovrkast has been developing into an underappreciated star (in our opinion) for the last year and change. He’s been in the game for a minute, but he really broke through late in 2023 with his contributions to a major LP. You may know by now that we are referring to Drake’s For All The Dogs Scary Hours Edition. He laid down some beats tailored to just spit over, putting Drizzy in a truer MC mindset. It seems like he’s just been carrying the momentum from those credits into his solo catalog, again even though he’s been a more than respectable MC for some time. His latest journey has been honing in his partnership with fellow producing superstar, Cardo. He knows a thing or two about making memorable tracks for some of the game’s biggest faces. You can tell that Ovrkast was able to learn a lot from his studio sessions with Cardo, because he crafted a lot of the beats for KAST GOT WINGS.

But die hard fans, don’t worry one bit, it doesn’t take away from his rapping performances in the slightest. In fact, he really doesn’t miss the mark entirely on any of them. Some of our favorites though include “BEAT IT UP!,” a nocturnal trap banger that seems him spitting with the feeling that he wants to rip the competition’s head off. The other is “FREE UP SUMN,” which sees Ovrkast playing the role of a provider and dedicating his career to those he cares about most. There’s a spectacular beat switch up in the last quarter that just takes this track to new heights. Give Ovrkast and Cardo’s KAST GOT WINGS your time with the links below, you won’t be left wanting more.

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

by

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”

by

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.

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

by

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.

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

by

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”

by

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.
