Benny The Butcher & 38 Spesh Officially Release Their “Sway’s Universe” Freestyle To Streaming

November 27, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Two New York MCs still maintaining the street grittiness in the modern era listened to the people. Benny The Butcher and 38 Spesh popped out for a Sway’s Universe appearance about a month ago and laid down a show-stopping freestyle. Fans were in awe of their bars, especially The Butcher’s. “Only way I can protect my peace is if my piece protect me… It’s so hot I can’t talk, it’s like the one chip challenge.” It’s got almost 400,000 since it hit YouTube, so they decided to officially release it as the “SS2 Freestyle” on streaming. Whoever selected the beat for these two prolific MCs was smart because the methodical, dark, and grand beat is right in their wheelhouse.

It sounds like something from any one of their records, including their most recent. Last month, Butch and Spesh dropped off their second entry in the STABBED & SHOT series. Special guests included V Don, Harry Fraud, Busta Rhymes, Dave East, Daringer, Ransom, among others. For Benny, it’s his third record of 2024, as it follows up on his Black Soprano Family release, Summertime Butch, and his Def Jam Recordings debut, Everybody Can’t Go. For Spesh, he’s also been on a tear. He’s up to five on the year, with Mother & Gun, God’s Timing, In God We Trust, and Checks & Balances being his roster of LPs. Overall, it’s just been another year of major moves and excellent projects for these two close friends. Their dedication to the craft and willingness to release new material so consistently makes them two of the underground’s generational titans. “SS2 Freestyle” is more proof of that and we can’t wait to see where they go from here.

Redman Spazzes Over Snoop Dogg & Dr. Dre’s “Tha Shiznit” Beat On Latest Freestyle

November 16, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Redman is definitely an “instrumental killa,” which he deservedly labels himself on his “SHIZNIT” freestyle. If that title rings a bell, it’s because he’s looking to make Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre’s “Tha Shiznit” his own. Honestly, he comes really close thanks to his unmistakable delivery and personality on the mic. He may be looking to “jaque” the track at this time, as Snoop and Dre are preparing to drop their first collab tape since Doggystyle with Missionary. That will arrive on December 13. But this piece is about Redman, so let’s get back to it. This “SHIZNIT” release is part of a long-running YouTube series known as “[J@q Boi Be@tz Freestyle].” He selects all sorts of beats to body from Drake to G-Eazy, or he’ll even tackle a ringtone.

All of these off-the-dome releases just further cement how creative and forward-thinking Redman always has been. While he isn’t really dropping new albums or singles that much anymore, the freestyles definitely do the trick. However, the last time we got an LP from the Funk Doctor was in 2015 with Mudface. Fans are praising this freestyle all over social media, especially on Instagram. “Spit that s*** Redman!”, comedian and actor Anthony Anderson writes back. Big Boy adds, “A-1 since Day 1.” Layzie Bone of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony also got in the comments section, “” On “SHIZNIT,” Redman reminds everyone how he’s still got it, never sold his soul, and isn’t going away anytime soon. In fact, you could say everyone else is “microwave,” getting “hot but cold later,” and that he’s that “grandma cooked food.” Check out the bars from one of the GOATs with the link below.

Ab-Soul Slices And Dices His “On The Radar” Freestyle Ahead Of “Soul Burger”

November 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Ab-Soul is just two full days away from releasing his sixth LP titled Soul Burger. The project will carry 15 songs and will arrive on November 8 to be exact. The feature list is one to behold as well with Vince Staples, fellow TDE signee Doechii, Ty Dolla $ign, JID, and Lupe Fiasco, leading the way. Those are just a few of them though, so prepare yourself for sure. The 2013 XXL Freshman will be following up his comeback album HERBERT from 2022, which came after a six-year drought. Overall, TDE has been having an unbelievable year with the aforementioned Doechii, ScHoolboy Q, Zacari, and SiR also delivering some memorable releases.

It’s going to difficult for Ab-Soul due to the sheer artistry of those projects. But he’s definitely got more than enough talent in the tank to compete with his counterparts. The singles have been highly desirable with “Crazier” probably being our favorite out of the bunch. They are all a great refresher of what Soul brings to the table, so we are incredibly pumped for what’s possibly in store. Speaking of staying ready, the veteran MC has been popping up on a couple of freestyles lately.

Ab-Soul Has Fans Amped For His Next Album

One of his most recent came in the form of his respective verse on second-ever XXL‘s Cypher Lab. Him, A$AP Ferg, and Sauce Walka all brought their A game and also talked about the lack of respect for lyricism in hip-hop. The latter is something that Ab-Soul has in great supply, and he displayed that on his first “On The Radar” freestyle. He makes light work of JAY-Z’s “Squeeze 1st,” which he perhaps selected on purpose. He raps over an interpolation of that instrumental on the lead single for Soul Burger, “Squeeze 1St 2.” The lyrics are much different on this off-the-dome performance as he namedrops the album, Doechii’s new mixtape, and labels himself as “Marshall Mathers with melanin.” Check out the fire appearance above.

What are your thoughts on Ab-Soul’s “On The Radar” freestyle? Does this have you more excited for Soul Burger, why or why not? Where do you rank him amongst the rest of the TDE lineup? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Ab-Soul. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

JID Proves Once Again Why He’s A Freestyle Legend With “31”

October 1, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It seems like everyone is waiting on JID to drop either Forever & A Day (his next studio album) or his unnamed collab tape with Metro Boomin. It’s for good reason though because the Atlanta native has developed into one of the hottest MCs in the game over the last couple of years. The Forever Story has played a big role in his ascension, and it might be the best of the 2020’s decade when it’s all said and done. For now, it’s pretty much the best of 2022. But when it comes to the Dreamville signee, he’s going to take his time. Right now, JID seems content with dropping some spot features (excellent ones at that) and loosies like “31 (FREESTYLE)”.

Believe it or not, this is his second numbered freestyle of the year, as he opened up 2024 with “30 (Freestyle)”. On that joint, he skated over some funky instrumentation from Conductor Williams and Christo. Prior to this one, JID dropped “29 (Freestyle)” in 2022 with the latter and it seems that’s the first one in this series. Since it’s an off-the-dome cut, there really isn’t a consistent theme with it. However, what is consistent is how damn good JID is with this sort of format. The slipperiness he possesses when e spits is pretty much second to none, as he hits with clever bar after clever bar. The track is out on YouTube now and it’s produced by another close collaborator, Hollywood Cole.

“31 (FREESTYLE)” – JID

Quotable Lyrics:

Runnin’ fades, sippin’ water out the faucet my adolescent days
But out of penny, out of pocket, out of circuit, out of socket
My plugs speakin’ a language of drugs, it’s jaw droppin’
Lock in, got me feelin’ like Pac, and it’s the apocalypse
And I don’t politic with the policies of the parliament
Pardon JID, part of my n****s comin’ from all sides

Redveil Shines Once Again On “WHEW LAWD (Freestyle)”

June 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

You are not going to find many other dual threats like redveil in today’s game. Still just 20 years old, the Maryland rapper and producer still has so much untapped potential. However, when you listen to him, it might not sound like it. He really got a lot of people’s attention back in 2022 with his sophomore record, learn 2 swim. It was a terrific blend of jazz, soul and hip-hop and featured the songs like “diving board” and “pg baby”, among other fine deep cuts.

He also dropped a shorter project last year called playing w/ fire, but we think we can speak for most fans when we say we want to hear a new album. While we impatiently wait for that, redveil has been holding folks over with some dope freestyles. One of them that we enjoyed quite a bit was “DRAMA”, which released later last year to YouTube and Soundcloud. But the man returned just last night with “WHEW LAWD”, which showcases his spectacular producing and rapping chops again.

Listen To “WHEW LAWD (Freestyle)” By Redveil

“WHEW LAWD” sees him incorporate a soul sample beautifully into the energetic and stank face-inducing beat. To give himself a pat on the back for this fire freestyle, he likens himself to Kanye West in a hilarious but apt way. You can tell that he is inspired by the Georgia legend, as early Ye was always chopping up the soul samples. However, redveil also loves him some Denzel Curry, as the inflection in his voice sounds nearly identical on this cut. It is a small nitpick as to why he is still has some ways to go as an artist, but we would be foolish to not give the track its flowers.

What are your thoughts on “WHEW LAWD (Freestyle)” by redveil? Is this the best freestyle of his career, why or why not? Do you think he is due to drop a new album this year? What aspect of the song did you enjoy the most? Is he one of the best dual threats we have right now? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your thoughts in the comments section below. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding redveil. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

Quotable Lyrics:

The raps with the beats rеminiscent of Kanye
But I got hella jеwish homies, so it’s just kinda-
I said I’m 1 of 1 if you need a reminder
And Veil don’t f*** with no one, in da stu where you find him
And I ain’t sweatin’ nothing, boy, I trust divine timin’
But I ain’t never been this fuckin’ hungry for shinin’

FERG Continues His Solo Run Of Singles With “More Than U Know Freestyle”

June 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

A$AP Ferg had the whole internet talking about his sudden return. About three weeks ago, the Harlem, New York rapper put out a YouTube-only single called “MDMX”, but his full stage name was not attached to it. Instead, it was chopped down to just FERG. This then led to an onslaught of theories and speculations that he was not a core member of the A$AP Mob. There have been a lot of reports online that he indeed was not a part of it and that he still remains with them. However, the real truth is that FERG is his solo stage name when he is not releasing anything affiliated with Rocky and the crew.

FERG announced it through Roc Nation back in 2021, saying, “Ferg is very much still part of the Mob, and is A$AP Ferg within A$AP Mob. Ferg as an individual artist and with his solo career is Ferg”. So, with all of that cleared up let us jump into this new single, “More Than U Know Freestyle”. This is the third YouTube exclusive track and a follow-up to “Roemello” just five days ago.

Listen To “More Than U Know Freestyle” By FERG

This also comes after his guest appearance on a new Trae Tha Truth album single called “Rock Out”. FERG delivered a memorable and zany performance, showing that he is not just your typical trap/pop rapper. On this scant two-minute freestyle, the veteran gets reflective and introspective about his career over a soulful sample flip and hard-hitting kick drums. When he wants to get into his more lyrical side, just know that he can do it at any moment.

What are your thoughts on “More Than U Know Freestyle” by FERG? Is this the best song that he has released in the last few weeks, why or why not? Do you think that he is gearing up for a new album soon? How do you feel about the name change to FERG? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.

Young Dro Makes Light Work Of The “Yeah Glo!” Instrumental On “Yeah Dro Freestyle”

May 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

One of the biggest rap songs in the early going of 2024 has to be “Yeah Glo!” by GloRilla. The Memphis femcee was losing some steam after dropping tracks like “F.N.F.” and “Tomorrow 2”. At least, that was the narrative amongst most fans, but she really shut up a lot of skeptics with that February single. It has become one of the genre’s anthems of the year, as it preaches self-worth and being confident in your abilities. Because of its message and lively performance, the track has been widely praised by many, including other rappers. One of them is Young Dro, who has recently decided to rap over the instrumental and retitle it “Yeah Dro Freestyle”.

Young Dro is a veteran wordsmith and has been an unheralded name in the Atlanta scene for well over a decade and a half. The “Shoulder Lean” MC is not as eager to drop much anymore it seems, as it evidenced by his last project dropping in 2022. That would be Da Real Atlanta & HyDROponic (Deluxe Edition). Furthermore, his last singles came back in 2023. But, after almost five full months, Young Dro is back with the “Yeah Dro Freestyle”.

Listen To “Yeah Dro Freestyle” By Young Dro

It is only available on his YouTube page, which features just this one song. Even though he has received minor publicity on the platform, the off-the-dome performance has over 100,000 views. Dro shows off his always impressive flows and wordplay across the 2:48 of runtime. Be sure to support him and the song with the link above.

What are your thoughts on “Yeah Dro Freestyle” by Young Dro? Did he body the “Yeah Glo!” beat, why or why not? Is he still a criminally underrated rapper, or is he properly rated? Do you think he should drop a new album this year? 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 Young Dro. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

DaBaby Channels Kendrick Lamar On New “Not Like Us” Freestyle

May 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

In recent months, fans have seen DaBaby rap over just about anything, from Sexyy Red to Future. They’ve taken a liking to the hitmaker’s fiery freestyles, praising him for his delivery, writing skills, and more. Now, the North Carolina MC has unleashed yet another one, this time spitting along to Kendrick Lamar’s infamous Drake diss, “Not Like Us.”

DaBaby unveiled the track today alongside a fun accompanying music video, which sees him cruising around with the windows down, dancing in his bathroom, and more. Once again, listeners are impressed, and sounding off in his Instagram comments section about his quick bars. Some even think he might have Kendrick beat, though that’s still up for debate.

DaBaby Pops Out With Yet Another Freestyle

DaBaby also urged fans to leave some suggestions for his next freestyle in his comments section, prompting demands for him to rap over more tracks from Kendrick Lamar and Drake’s feud. “Family Matters” is a top pick, while others think he should give Metro Boomin’s “BBL Drizzy” beat a go. He already offered fans his take on the song that caused the beef to take off, “Like That,” in April.

Of course, many supporters are also encouraging him to drop something entirely new. Luckily for them, they shouldn’t have to wait too much longer for that. Recently, DaBaby announced that he has a new album on the way, though he’s yet to confirm an official release date. To give fans a taste of what’s to come, he released three tracks earlier this month, dubbing the project GHETTO SUPERSTAR: (THE INTRO). He delivered “DONE TRYING” and “GHETTO SUPERSTAR FREESTYLE,” as well as a collab with Skilla Baby, “JUDY.” Are you a fan of DaBaby’s new “Not Like Us” freestyle? What about its accompanying music video? What do you want to hear him rap over next? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Central Cee Slips & Slides On Thrilling “CC FREESTYLE”

May 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Central Cee and Dave have been the two faces of the United Kingdom rap scene for the last couple of years. They have been bringing in a lot of listeners, especially from the country across the pond, and it has been great to see. Of course, you still have names like Skepta and Giggs doing their thing as well. But the young cats’ growth will be important going forward. Both do not drop all that often, but when they do the tracks are rarely duds. That is true when it comes to the latest single from Central Cee, “CC FREESTYLE.”

According to Genius, this off-the-dome exercise is a rumored single for Cee’s supposed upcoming debut album. The tentative title, CAN’T RUSH GREATNESS, does not have any release date information out, so this could very well be speculation. Regardless of whether or not “CC FREESTYLE” makes it on to a tape, Cench spazzed on this cut. This is just his second release of 2024, following up his love track “I Will” from February.

Listen To “CC FREESTYLE” By Central Cee

On this freestyle, Central Cee spits with great proficiency over Flukes’ classic grime instrumental “I Have Nothing.” This beat/sample may also sound familiar if you are a hardcore Travis Scott fan. La Flame tried his hand at a similar instrumental when he sped up Whitney Houston’s “I Have Nothing” on “guidance.” That was a deeper cut off of his 2016 sophomore album Birds In The Trap Sing McKnight.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single “CC FREESTYLE” by Central Cee? Is this one of his best rapping performances he has ever put forth, why or why not? Does this get you hyped for his rumored debut album CAN’T RUSH GREATNESS? 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 Central Cee. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

Quotable Lyrics:

I was gone, went away for a bit
And now I’m back like, “Wait a minute,” I’m back
UK Rap ain’t dead, I mean, some guys are, but I don’t relate
Live Nation can vouch, I’m paid, they gave me an M just to go on stage
Please don’t panic, we need another one, DJ Khaled
It’s under control ’cause Cee will manage

DaBaby Channels Sexyy Red In New “Get It Sexyy” Freestyle

April 16, 2024 by newhiphopnews

DaBaby is certainly no stranger to freestyles, and his latest has fans impressed, to say the least. Earlier this week, the Cleveland-born MC stopped by Power 106, where he rapped over Metro Boomin and Future’s new viral track alongside Kendrick Lamar, “Like That.” He also paid tribute to Sexyy Red, rhyming over her latest solo single, “Get It Sexyy.”

DaBaby is receiving a ton of praise online for his effortless bars, with countless commenters leaving their own requests for other freestyles they want to see him take on next. “Everybody wants to hate on DaBaby, but he can actually rap,” one fan writes. Another says, “One thing we can’t argue is that boy can spit.”

DaBaby Spits Over “Get It Sexyy”

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by The Shade Room (@theshaderoom)

This isn’t the only time the worlds of DaBaby and Sexyy Red have collided, however. Last summer, the duo linked up for a remix of his 2023 CALL DA FIREMAN cut “Shake Sumn,” which quickly became a fan favorite. They even joined forces to perform the track at the 2023 BET Hip Hop Awards after it was released. While listeners can agree that he delivered on his “Get It Sexyy” freestyle, not all of his work has gone over so well. Back in February, for example, he rapped over the iconic beat from Jay-Z’s The Black Album song “Public Service Announcement.” Many users felt as though the beat just wasn’t for him, and argued that he came up short.

Luckily, his other freestyles over Gunna’s “FUKUMEAN,” Burna Boy’s “Sittin’ On Top Of The World,” and more have been more well-received by fans. What do you think of DaBaby’s recent “Get It Sexyy” freestyle? How do you think he did? Do you think he deserves all the praise he’s receiving online or not? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.
