Ferg Responds To The Non-Believers On “Thought I Was Dead”

by

Though he has not released an album in some time, Ferg has kept busy with singles and features. The former A$AP Mob member is seemingly on a mission to prove that he can still be a viable artist on his own, and “Thought I Was Dead” is a direct response to his detractors. The track, co-produced by Lex Luger, Mike WiLL Made-It, and a handful of other names, is a banger. It sounds like something straight out of the mid-2010s, with a big bass and energetic 808s. Ferg flows over the production with a similar energy.

Ferg is lyrically on point as well, delivering brash and boastful lines in a way that fans have come to expect from Harlem rappers. He takes aim at his haters, talks about losing friends, and even takes a moment to call on Sony to begin renegotiating his record deal. The second verse is completely flex-laden, with the bulk of his criticism going to “broke” people before talking about his grind to get to where he is today. Ferg’s last single, the Future-assisted “Allure,” briefly made headlines after fans theorized that Future was taking some subtle digs at Gunna. “Thought I Was Dead” has no such controversial lines, but it is still worth your time. No album has been announced yet, but based on Ferg’s increased output, it is probably not too far away. Stream the new single below.

Ferg – “Thought I Was Dead”

Quotable Lyrics:

Hold up, wait a minute, let me talk my s**t (Uh, right)
Lot of broke n****s talkin’, they ain’t talkin’ about s**t (Uh, yeah)
I ain’t never been a p***y, I ain’t worried ’bout a b***h (Uh, right)
Busy gettin’ paper, tryna keep my uncle off the bricks (Uh, yeah)
Showin’ my a** like Ye on a boat
T Ferg done had yay on a boat
Lambo, what I get paid for a show
Livin’ that life I ain’t gotta post (Uh)

Gunna Realizes He Was ‘Him All Along’ On The Rapper’s Confidence-Boosting New Single

by

Since accepting a plea deal in connection to the YSL RICO case, Gunna’s public image has taken a hit.

For some rap fans, they vow to never support him again. But the dozens of sold tour dates (Wun Of Dem Nights Tour, The Bittersweet Tour, The Gift and The Curse shows), millions of streams (One Of Wun and A Gift And A Curse), and recent collaborations with Big Sean, Offset, and Normani proves that he will be just fine without them. Still, every now, and then you need to have a pep-talk with your self in the mirror. Gunna’s latest Turbo-produced single, “Him All Along” is that confidence-boosting chat put to music.

“They was tryna stunt my growth, I was steady chasin’ my goals / N****, why you watchin’? I’m grown, n**** can’t take my throne / Goin’ through the motions, stay strong, he done been him all along / Look at all this money we done grown, lot of different places I done flown,” he raps.

This is just the sort of reassured Gunna fans want to hear especially with set to kick off his Wun Of Dem Nights Tour tomorrow in Washington, DC.

Drake’s New Chino Pacas Collab Has Social Media Declaring He’s Fallen Off

by

Last night, Chino Pacas dropped off his eagerly anticipated collab with Drake and JOP, “Modo Capone.” The track sees the Toronto rapper try out a different style than his fans are used to, and as expected, it’s sparked mixed reactions. While some are glad to see Drizzy step out of his comfort zone, others wish he hadn’t.

Several critics on Twitter/X point out Drake’s Spanish in particular, and argue that it ruined his verse for them. This isn’t the first song he’s done in Spanish, so some listeners say they expected more. “Kendrick washed Drake so badly that he didn’t just change genres but languages too,” one critic writes. “This painful!” someone else claims.

Drake Tries Out A New Style On “Modo Capone”

Fortunately, not everyone has something negative to say about Drake’s new collab. Some are praising him for his versatility, and claiming that the song is a bop. “Drake’s Spanish has NOT improved song goes hard tho,” one fan says. “I’ll congratulate drake for the attempt lol,” another writes. Obviously, Drake is subject to more scrutiny than ever these days after his battle with Kendrick Lamar. For this reason, social media users will find any reason they can to rip him to shreds, and this collab is no exception.

It’s not the first time he has stepped out of his usual genre recently, however. Earlier this month, he and his dad also performed a duet at a jazz club in Toronto. They performed T-Bone Walker’s 1947 song “Stormy Monday” during Shane Philips’ set with the Band of People.

Gunna Continues His Run With New Single “Him All Along”

by

Gunna’s had a productive 2024. In May, he released One of Wun, his fifth studio album. He’s been featured on a litany of projects, most notably the track “Jump” from pop and amapiano star Tyla’s self-titled debut. Now, he is back with another single. Frequent collaborator Turbo produced “HIM ALL ALONG.” The beat is more mid-tempo and relaxed, which is in line with Gunna’s other releases this year. However, the bass turns the track into something that’s still ready for the car.

Lyrically, the track has a lot in common with the content found on One of Wun. The bars are self-motivational, talking about chasing his goals and putting his team on. It would not be a Gunna track without some flexing, so naturally, there’s some light flexing taking place. He talks about his imported foreign car and selling out both Barclays Center and Madison Square Garden. After the run he’s had, he has certainly earned the right to flex. At the end of the music video for One of Wun standout “today i did good,” an Easter egg implied the existence of a deluxe album. It has not come to fruition, but this track could be the teaser for a new collection of songs on the way. Until that gets announced, stream “HIM ALL ALONG” now.

Gunna – “HIM ALL ALONG”

Quotable Lyrics:

Scooped me up, got one of my rooms all flooded with gold (Gold)
I done bought two, four, five, six, seven, eight karats in stones (In stones)
Cash on the California couch, can’t wait to go dress my home (Dress my home)
Smash all you itty-bitty rappers in a minute, I was tryna prolong (Tryna prolong)
On the way to reachin’ my goals, lot of doors open and close (Open and close)
I’ve been spendin’ millions on clothes, I been makin’ millions off clothes (Millions off clothes)

Coco Jones And Future Make A Killer Pair On “Most Beautiful Design”

by

Coco Jones has a classic R&B sound. So many of her peers are experimenting with trap and indie, and melding different genres together. Jones, on the other hand, is content to make excellent R&B songs that sound ripped from two decades ago. She’s proved it on nearly all of her singles, and does it again on this new one. “Most Beautiful Design” is Coco Jones’ anticipated collab with Future and London on da Track, and it sounds as exquisite as its title suggests. Jones and Future have impressive vocal chemistry, and they glide over London’s smooth instrumental.

Future actually takes lead on the song, which is unexpected. The rapper keeps his 2024 hot streak going with a vocal melody that snaps into place over the beat. Future ditched the softer side of his persona for the recent MIXTAPE PLUTO, so it’s impressive to hear him dig back into this bag so effortlessly. London on da Track does his thing here, with an instrumental that is consistent and catchy. Nothing too bold, but a nice underpinning for the vocal fireworks. This is especially true when Coco Jones gets on. She proves herself Future’s equal, and despite having two very different deliveries, these two sound great together on record.

Let us know what you think of this brand-new track, in the comments section down below. 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.

Yeat Delivers His Most Focused Album To Date With “LYFSTYLE”

by

Yeat is onto something. The rapper broke out in a big way with 2093, and now he’s back with a new batch of songs in less than a year. He confirmed to The Fader that LYFESTYLE was an attempt to lean into his rap side, and now that we have the album, we can confirm this is the case. Don’t worry, the wild rage elements that made Yeat such a sensation to begin with are still here. “SPEEDBALL” and “LYING 5 FUN” are peppered with the frantic synths and Autotuned riffs thats characterized 2093. The thing that helps distinguish LYFESTYLE, though, is the way Yeat plays off his collaborators.

The title track fuses a rage style instrumental with knocking drums more akin to a trap song. This blend of sounds is complimented by Yeat and Lil Durk swapping verses. These two do not really gel on paper, but they sound fantastic together. Don Toliver also shines on “NEW HIGH.” It turns out that Toliver really sounds like his mentor, Travis Scott, when his voice is given the distorted Yeat treatment. “NEW HIGH” has one of the best grooves on the whole album. On the solo front, “SO WHAT” and “GEEK TIME” are showcases for Yeek’s wildest vocal inflections. There’s a lot of music here, and fans are going to love it.

Let us know what you think of this brand new album, in the comments section down below. 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.

Ab-Soul Enlists JasonMartin And Thirsty P For Thumping “All That” Single

by

Ab-Soul is not playing around. The rapper earned some of the best reviews of his career for this 2022 comeback album Herbert, and he’s running it back. Soul Burger is going to drop in November, and the rapper is not playing around when it comes to the promo singles. “Squeeze 1st 2” was a smooth and jazzy showcase for the rapper’s lyrical dense skillset. “All That,” the rapper’s second offering, is a hard hitting switch-up. Ab-Soul taps fellow California emcees JasonMartin and Thirsty P for a slick offering that proves he’s far from a one trick pony.

Ab-Soul has been derided by some fans for being too heady with his music. “All That” proves that Soul Burger will not run into this problem. The instrumental is simple, snappy, and helps to anchor his tricky wordplay and turns of phrase. He flips the title of the song to refer to the classic Nickelodeon show All That and cast members Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell. JasonMartin and Thirsty P do their thing on the back end of the song. It’s fun to hear Ab-Soul branch out and work with different artists outside of the TDE camp. We can’t wait to hear how this newfound versatility translates to a full album.

Drake Tries A New Style On The Chino Pacas Single “Modo Capone”

by

Drake has done the Spanish language thing before. He’s collaborated with Romeo Santos and Bad Bunny over the years, but Chino Pacas represents a different sound entirely. The Toronto rapper has hinted at a collab with Pacas for over a year, and now “Modo Capone” is finally here. Spoiler alert, it’s a banger. The combination of Pacas’ signature Corrido sound and Drake’s vocals is not something we would have ever thought worked, but it does and then some. Drizzy manages to find a pocket within “Modo Capone” with Pacas and Fuerza Regida.

The guitar work does a lot of the heavy lifting out the gate. Chino Pacas is the first artist to take center stage vocally, and he’s obviously in his element. Drake is the real story here. He sings an entire verse in Spanish for the first time since 2018. He sounds a little strained at first, particularly as he reaches into his higher register, but it smooths out as he goes along. Drake finds a better pocket during his second and third verse, as he gets to work in English phrases. He also gets to croon over the extremely catchy break at the end of the song. Hip hop drums kick in, and the outro takes on a very OVO-esque sound.

Pi’erre Bourne Admits That “Made In Paris” Album Delay Is His Fault

by

Pi’erre Bourne has been teasing Made In Paris for close to a year. The producer has been dropping hints and teasing songs from the album since January. A quick scroll through the Made In Paris link on Genius shows over 25 leaked songs. We’re going to be getting a Tyler, The Creator album we didn’t even know existed before this week, sooner. Fans have been frustrated, and Pi’erre Bourne decided to break his silence on the matter. He hopped on Twitter and set the record straight.

Most artists would put the blame on the record label, or the fans who have leaked songs online. Bourne didn’t do that. He decided to own up and take responsibility for the fact that Made In Paris does not yet have a release date. The whole interaction actually stemmed from an interaction in which a fan voiced frustration with the label. Pi’erre Bourne clarified that the label has not made anything difficult for him, and that the album delay has been his doing. Plain and simple.

Pi’erre Bourne Claimed He’s Been Burned Out

“I really just got tired From traveling, shooting photo and videos,” the producer wrote. “Mixing album, going to fashion events same day and not sleeping.” Pi’erre Bourne noted that someone like Kanye West can pull such a demanding lifestyle off, but he cannot. He also noted that the polarizing superstar has a lot more help than he does. “Ye do it,” he added. “But he always surround himself with a great team in whatever setting. That’s all that I’m really missing. It’s not on the label. It’s me.”

ASAP Rocky Roasts Tyler, The Creator Over “CHROMAKOPIA” Album Cover

by

ASAP Rocky and Tyler, The Creator came from different worlds. The former a New York rapper raised on Dipset and Bone-Thugs. The latter a California prodigy who grew up on Pharrell and Kanye West. They’re an odd pairing on paper, and yet they’ve been friends and collaborators for a decade. Tyler, The Creator recently unveiled the title and cover art for his new album, CHROMAKOPIA. The art was praised by fans and hip hop outlets alike for its striking design. ASAP Rocky, on the other hand, decided to have fun with his OF brother.

ASAP Rocky went in the comment section of Tyler’s announcement post and clowned the rapper’s looks. “UGLY N***A B LOL,” he wrote. A comment like this would usually be grounds for a social media beef, but Rocky and Tyler have a sense of humor predicated on roasting. Besides, looks and style are big parts of both of their brands. ASAP Rocky literally branded himself “Pretty Flacko” early on in his career, and has spent the last decade as more of a fashion staple than a rapper. Tyler’s style differs from Rocky’s, but he has actually struck a better balance between music and fashion.

ASAP Rocky Clowned Tyler, The Creator’s Looks

Don’t believe us? Tyler, The Creator has dropped two albums since ASAP Rocky’s Testing in 2018. The release date for CHROMAKOPIA is also before Rocky’s upcoming release, Don’t Be Dumb. This means the Odd Future icon will have tripled Rocky’s output over the last eight years. This stat was not lost on fans, who proceeded to pester the ASAP Mob standout for an album update. Don’t Be Dumb was set to drop August 30, but the rapper told Billboard that it had been delayed due to sample clearances. He also pointed to internet leaks as an ongoing issue during recording sessions.

ASAP Rocky is back up and recording, though, as evidenced by the singles he’s dropped over the last few months. He was on the deluxe version of Tyler, The Creator’s last album, Call Me If You Get Lost. He also delivered a standout verse on the Flower Boy song “Who Dat Boy.” It’d be ideal if Rocky could hop on CHROMAKOPIA and Tyler could return the favor on Don’t Be Dumb. We will see if it actually happens.
