Isaiah Rashad And Spotify Team Up To Bring Four Live Versions Of “Cilvia Demo” For Its 10th Anniversary

January 24, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Isaiah Rashad is one of the more celebrated/underrated rappers from the last 15 years or so. The Top Dawg Entertainment (TDE) signee has been dropping wavy, low-key bangers since 2014 and has worked with some of the premier talents. He does not drop too often, sadly. Rashad’s last full release came all the way back in 2021 with The House Is Burning. Only his third project, the Chattanooga native recruited heavy hitters Lil Uzi Vert, Duke Deuce, Smino, Jay Rock, and more.

While it is a big album and a solid release, his first might be his best. That would be Cilvia Demo put out in 2014. Rashad dropped the project nearly 10 years ago to the day, January 28. To commemorate this amazing achievement streaming giant Spotify collaborated with him to revive his classic. The reason they wanted to do this is because of the DSP’s new series.

According to HipHopDX, this new venture is called TEN. On top of dropping just the music, Spotify is also doing its version of NPR’s Tiny Desk in a way. They are inviting artists to perform live in front of fans and other artists. Spectators get to ask the performers questions too. Rashad gave some background on the making of Cilvia Demo and it sounds like it was a success. Above you will only find these live versions on Spotify.

Kyle Dion Is Fun, Serious, And Everything In Between On New EP “If My Jeans Could Talk”

January 22, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Sometimes the most entertaining artists are not the most popular ones. Not to say Kyle Dion does not have a passionate fan base, though. But, he is not raking in some of numbers that the biggest artists do even though they tend to be mediocre. You would think he would be bigger than he is, especially after listening to his newest project. Kyle Dion, the Coral Springs, Florida R&B singer is back after a near three-year hiatus. He dropped his last project, Sassy, on September 17, 2021.

While this is not a LP, Dion is not short changing anyone on this EP, If My Jeans Could Talk. It features eight tracks with no features and three singles released ahead of it. Kyle spoke about his newest work and the inspiration behind it with Rated R&B. “I’m a bit more vulnerable, a bit more real, and a bit more carefree. I didn’t worry if anyone would like it, but instead focused on how it made me feel, and how I love it and how I wanted to create it for myself, for Kyle. But, I feel this is a project to give to my fans to let them know that I am back and here is an appetizer before my 3rd album.”

Listen To If My Jeans Could Talk By Kyle Dion

One of the singles is “Hang Me Out to Dry” and it is one of the more somber cuts on the tape. It sees Kyle sing about a frustrating relationship where both parties are not doing the best job of staying together. However, he feels that he is still being screwed over because there is a lack of communication. Other highlights include the intro track “Gimmie,” with its nice guitar shreds and easy-to-follow rhythm. One of his strengths are his falsetto vocals and they are all over this project. If you are wondering, they sound great. So far, this has the potential to be one of the best EPs of the year.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new EP, If My Jeans Could Talk, by Kyle Dion? Is this the best body of work he has ever put out, why or why not? Which tracks are you gravitating toward the most and why? Does he deserve more attention in the R&B lane, or is he properly rated? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this.

UMI Releases New Ep “Talking To The Wind” That Reflects On A Unique Time In Her Career

January 20, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It has been quite some time since HNHH has talked about Seattle, Washington-bred R&B/Soul artist UMI. A lot has happened over the past year or so for the 24-year-old singer. Vulture recently put out a feature piece the day she came through with her brand-new EP, talking to the wind. It is a four-track offering that had half of its songs released months before. Those two were “happy im” and “why dont we go.” UMI is not the most active name in the space, at least in the past couple of years.

But, as we mentioned, she has gone through quite a bit of turmoil. In her particular case, it has to do with the falling out with her now-former RCA-affiliated label, Keep Cool Records. This new ep is UMI’s first release since leaving after it was her dream in high school to join it. In her conversation with Vulture, she gave her reasoning as to why it was time.

Listen To Talking To The Wind By UMI

“I wanted to leave because I knew it wasn’t serving me anymore. I didn’t feel like there was any excitement at my label for me.” However, even though the label was ahead of UMI’s schedule and it took a chunk out of her, it was the right thing for her career. “My ego definitely was like, ‘F*** you, you’re gonna drop me?’ And then I was like, UMI, you wanted to leave and you’ve been hinting at that for a while, so why are you mad?” Furthermore, she explained the meaning of the title. “The EP was made during that unknown time. When I felt lost during that process, I spent so much time outside letting the wind just touch me and heal me. The wind kept telling me, ‘UMI, just trust.’” Hear what UMI has to say with the links above.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new EP, talking to the wind, by UMI? Is this the best body of work she has ever put out, why or why not? Which tracks are you gravitating toward the most and why? Do you think she will come through with a full-length project this year too? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your hottest takes in the comments section below. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding UMI.

Flo Milli Taps Bryson Tiller For New Version Of Her Hit Song “Never Lose Me”

December 27, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Back at the very start of December, Alabama rapper and singer Flo Milli dropped one of her singles that might land on her upcoming album next year. “Never Lose Me” has been becoming a hit amongst her fans and the general public. The reason is because of how catchy and whispy Flo’s melodies are on it. Because of all of the hype surrounding it, she decided to add some new versions.

On Christmas Eve, Milli released an EP with all five renditions. It includes the original, a Lil Yachty feature, sped and slowed down, and a Bryson Tiller appearance. The latter is the one we are going to touch on today, as it was released recently compared to Yahcty’s. Adding the Kentucky born singer and rapper to this was a genius move by Flo.

Listen To “Never Lose Me” By Flo Milli And Bryson Tiller

Essentially, he is rapping from the perspective of the man that Milli is messing around with. He raps with a blistering pace nearly matching the same Flo (see what we did there). Yachty took a more melodic approach using his “Poland” like warbles. Overall, it is good to hear Bryson on some newer tracks. He recently dropped a Soundcloud exclusive EP not too long ago as well.

What are your initial thoughts on this brand-new version of “Never Lose Me” by Flo Milli and Bryson Tiller? Is this the best edition of the track, why or why not? Where does this song rank amongst the rest of the hit songs in 2023? Is Flo going to blow up even more next year, why or why not? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this.

Tryna earn keep had to flex, uh-huh

BigXthaPlug And Offset Ride The Beat On “Climate” Effortlessly

December 20, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Southern hip-hop has always been providing the genre with infectious hits for decades on decades. The slow-mo and wavy sounds just have something about them that gets listeners in a trance. However, some artists just hit you with endless slippery flows and intriguing cadences. One of those names who is doing this as of late is BigXthaPlug.

He has been releasing music into the world since 2019 but has been hitting his stride over the past year or so. In 2023, Plug put out his debut album, Amar. That came out in late April, but this new EP is garnering some serious buzz. THE BIGGEST is shaping up to be the perfect reminder for fans that Plug is going to be doing bigger and bigger things going forward.

Listen To “Climate” By BigXthaPlug And Offset

One of the reasons for that is because he was able to nab a feature from Offset. Together, their aggressive flow patterns are perfect compliments on the song “Climate.” THE BIGGEST dropped on December 1, but the music video for this track has just hit YouTube. Already, the visuals have raked in over 313,000 views in two days. That is good enough for number 21 on trending for music. Production is also a strong point here with its watery and plucky synths and banging trap percussion.

What are your initial thoughts on this new song, “Climate,” by BigXthaPlug and Offset? Is this the best track from Plug’s THE BIGGEST? Is he going to be someone who takes off even higher next year after his coming out party? If you were to compare him to more established rappers, who is he similar to? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your hottest takes in the comments section below.

Went to the top and I shopped, I’m a socket (Hey)
Counted me out, but I do it for Rocket (Take)
I took your b**** on a jet to the tropics (Let’s go)
Post on the block with the work, come and shop
Hit the flame, make it rain, make the b**** come and mop it (Ha)
That n**** snitched for his pic’, hit the docket (Snitch)

DRAM Teams Up With EVEN Platform To Drop Off A Four-Track EP “BLACK SANTA”

December 18, 2023 by newhiphopnews

There have been some interesting trends in hip-hop this year. AI technology has been a controversial tool in many music fans’ eyes. It was turning a lot of heads a few months ago when a “Drake” and “The Weeknd” song was going viral online. So much so, that it even was up for GRAMMY consideration. This new movement might be a little more favorable, though, and DRAM is taking part in it.

Born in Germany and raised in Virginia, the 35-year-old diversely talented artist has just teamed up with a rising music platform. EVEN is a website and company based in California that looks to bring fans and musicians closer than ever before. It was founded last year and it is still in its beta stage. Big K.R.I.T. allowed exclusive access to a short project on the site about a week ago.

Pardison Fontaine And Sexyy Red Team Up For Wild Banger “Conceited”

December 12, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Pardison Fontaine and Megan Thee Stallion’s relationship was a rocky one, to say the least. That is what we gathered after hearing both of their sides of the story. We got some context from Megan first after her huge comeback with her smash single “Cobra.” It was a triumphant moment for her, even garnering some attention from even the staunchest of critics.

Then, on the flip side, we got Pardison’s take on the situation. He came through with his single “THEE PERSON” a few weeks back. According to him, the relationship was in jeopardy because Megan was acting out first. It is safe to say that they just were not right for each other.

Listen To “Conceited” By Pardison Fontaine And Sexyy Red

We say that because it seems these two have been much happier and have been moving on with their lives. Pardison is enjoying himself after dropping a new EP today, SEXT8PE. It is an eight-track offering that is nearly a total solo trek. However, there is one feature here and it is none other than Sexyy Red. She is hopping on everyone’s projects, as she continues her rise. The song “Conceited” is a raunchy banger about wanting to find the highest value man and woman. It could be Pardison’s next hit, especially with the cool back-and-forth between him and Sexyy.

What are your initial thoughts on this brand-new song, “Conceited,” by Pardison Fontaine and Sexyy Red? Is this the best track from SEXT8PE, why or why not? Are you surprised that Pardison did not place “THEE PERSON” on this project? Which songs are you enjoying right now off this tape? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this.

The RCA Record signee has been putting out music since 2016.

Edwin Kenneth Green Jr. did not truly pop off till the 2020s decade, though. He has been more well known for his contributions to tracks. But, he definitely has his own slaps as well. Mason has worked with the likes of JID, J. Cole, Denzel Curry, and more.

Listen To HIGHWAY 9 By Kenny Mason

On his projects though, he usually keeps the features low or has none at all. The latter is the case for his newest EP, HIGHWAY 9. These are all fresh songs that play into Kenny’s strengths. “PULP FICTION” stands out a little bit more than “FACTS” and “OFF THE RIP.” It has a guitar-laced instrumental that adds a little extra personality to the song. All in all, they are agreeable songs that fans will be pleased with.

What are your initial thoughts on this brand-new EP, HIGHWAY 9, by Kenny Mason? Is this his best shortened collection of tracks that he has put out?

Tyla Teases A Threesome Of Tracks From Her Upcoming Debut “TYLA”

December 1, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Sounds that have originated from South Africa have been dominating radio stations, streaming platforms, and playlists. It seems that 2023 has been the year of genres like Afropop, amapiano, house, and Afro house. Honestly, it is a refreshing thing to see. While hip-hop has been near the top for awhile, its been a bit of a slower year, especially for the mainstream artists. So, its the best case scenario for artists like Tyla to emerge and show off what she has to offer.

It is safe to say the South African-born singer has plenty of talent at her disposal. Her ability to hit all sorts of notes is pretty effortless. Many listeners got a taste of that on her viral hit, “Water.” The single recently shot up to the number 10 slot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Due to its meteoric rise, remixes with Marshmello and Travis Scott have recently released. Now, Tyla is looking to build on this popularity with a handful of new cuts.

Listen To TYLA (EP) By Tyla

“Water” and its remix with Scott, along with three additional songs, will land on her debut self-titled project. Apple Music has it slated for release on March 1 of next year. The triple threat of songs includes “Truth or Dare,” “Butterflies,” and “On and On.” All three are great, but the one that stood out to us immediately was “Butterflies.” It is a truly gorgeous piece of art with mellow guitar strings which bleed into the stunning chorus. You may be floating in mid air after listening to it.

What are your initial thoughts on this brand-new EP, TYLA, by Tyla? Is she going to be the next voice to dominate the amapiano/R&B/pop scene?
