Kanye West & Ty Dolla Sign Drop New Song With North West And Get Rave Reviews

by

Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign are dropping Volume 1 of Vultures on Friday. Overall, this is going to be a huge release. Although some are concerned that Ye will delay the album again, it seems like he is actually on track. There is a listening party at the United Center on Thursday, and there is a real release plan for Friday evening. Needless to say, it seems like the album is organized in a way that it never was before. Not to mention, a new song was released today while folks were drinking their morning coffee.

The song in question is called “Talking / Once Again” and is more of a double-track than anything else. Overall, the first half of the track features North West who has her own part. It comes across like an interlude of sorts that then transitions into “Once Again.” This track is kicked off by the likes of Ty Dolla who delivers some heavenly vocals. Subsequently, Ye comes in and delivers a solid performance of his own. You can check out the music video for this new song, down below.

Kanye West, North West, & Ty Dolla Sign Come Through With Surprise Drop “Talking / Once Again”

by

Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign have been teasing their new album Vultures for quite some time. However, they have pushed back the release date numerous times. Now, the album is set to drop its first volume on February 9th, which is Friday. Overall, this is some very exciting news. That said, there are some fans out there who just aren’t all that convinced that he will actually drop it. After all, Ye has made promises before that he just was not able to keep. Although this time, he seems committed to delivering the project on time.

We say that because just moments ago, he shared the music video for “Talking / Once Again.” The song “Talking” features none other than North West who delivers her “Miss Westie” verse. This is a verse that had been teased at a listening party in Miami. After weeks of anticipation, that verse has finally arrived. The video, directed by the D’Innocenzo brothers, showcases close-ups of Ye, North, and Ty Dolla Sign.

As you make your way through the track, you will notice that “Talking” only features North. Overall, this makes this part of the track feel like some sort of interlude. Meanwhile, “Once Again” is its very own thing with Ty and Kanye delivering some angelic vocals. Sonically, it is a unique song and it quite an improvement from the album’s lead single Vultures which was filled with questionable bars. Only time will tell whether or not this new project ends up living up to the hype.

Lil Jon Announces Guided Meditation Album

by

If Lil Jon’s career is defined by anything, it’s energy. From his shouted demeanor to his infectious adlibs almost everything he’s done in his career so far is about getting hype. But that could change later this month when he pivots to a VERY different kind of project. According to TMZ, the rapper is working on a guided meditation album. They report that Jon has been focusing on wellness and physical fitness in his personal life for a while now. As a result, he’s aiming to spread those good vibes to others through his new music.

While they don’t confirm a name for the upcoming project there are some more details available. The album will reportedly have 10 tracks and fans will get the chance to hear it on February 16. As TMZ notes, the timing doesn’t seem entirely coincidental. This weekend Usher will perform during the Super Bowl Halftime Show, prior to which he’ll release a new album of his own. Many have suspected the Usher will play one of the biggest hits of his career, “Yeah!” The song features both Lil Jon and Ludacris and MANY fans have suspected that the pair could make a surprise appearance.

Lil Jon’s Surprising New Direction

Lil Jon’s pivot from his more familiar genre of rap music into something entirely different reminds fans of another recent surprise. Last year Andre 3000 returned with his debut solo album. But to the surprise of many, the album he announced was an ambient jazz project with “no bars.” And when the project was released it lived up to that promise. The project is made up of long ambient compositions predominately featuring 3k playing his flute.

When the album does drop it will be Lil Jon’s first new studio album is well over a decade since 2010’s Crunk Rock. What do you think of Lil Jon releasing a guided meditation album? Do you plan on listening to the project when it drops? Let us know in the comments below.

Megan Thee Stallion “Toxic” Preview Earns Various Reactions Online

by

Megan Thee Stallion isn’t letting the hype from “HISS” fade away without taking full advantage of all the attention she’s been getting. Rather, the Houston hottie is using the sweeping success of her first single of 2024 to tease more new heat she’s been cooking up in the studio. After the former track went No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, marking Meg’s third song to ever do so, she went on Instagram Live to celebrate the big news with her fans. Not only did she put on a show by twerking up a storm, but she also previewed “Toxic,” which could potentially be the next single from her upcoming album.

In her usual fashion, Thee Stallion drops plenty of salacious bars, such as “If you take a trip to Dior, baby, I could be your little wh*re.” During her stream, the Southern starlet was obviously impressed with her work, but so far, the response online has been underwhelming compared to what “HISS” delivered. Nevertheless, Meg’s loyal fans have had her back consistently over the past few days full of emotional intensity.

“Boo!! The only reason why she got that #1 is because she had so many Nicki Minaj haters 😂😂,” one IG user theorized under @theneighborhoodtalk’s post. “Barbz let her enjoy and let the Hotties have a party in her jaw. This the most success she’s going to get 😂😂.” Elsewhere, another negative review says, “I have nothing against Meg so don’t even try coming at me… But hear me out, this sounds like nothing new.”

Scrim Crawls Into Dark Cave On New Album “Lonely Boy”

by

Rap duos and groups launching solo careers is nothing new in the hip-hop world. Migos is not as strong a presence as it once was for various reasons. Their last album as group was back in 2021 with Culture III. OutKast did the same thing too. Andre 3000 recently made a massive reappearance with his experimental album New Blue Sun. $uicideboy$ is another duo to add in the mix as well.

As of 2020, Scrim ($crim) has been putting out his solo material. He put out his debut called A Man Rose from the Dead, a 20-song lone wolf effort. However, it would not be until 2024 that we would see new material from just Scrim. He put out a single called “paradise.”

by

Megan Thee Stallion and Nicki Minaj have been going at it for about a week at this point. However, there was a turning point last week where the feud just died out. Nicki Minaj’s diss track “Big Foot” was losing steam, while Megan Thee Stallion continued to break records on the charts with “Hiss.” Subsequently, Nicki eased off the gas and Meg continued to silently celebrate her latest victory. Over the weekend, fans have been anticipating Meg’s return to the Billboard charts, and in a big way at that.

There have been all sorts of indications that Meg would get the top spot on the chart. Overall, this would be a massive accomplishment when you consider how the song would be debuting on the chart this week. Well. according to Billboard, the inevitable has happened. Megan Thee Stallion has officially earned her third number-one hit. The previous two are “Savage” and “WAP.” However, this is a particularly special feat as this is a solo track.

However, if her fans remain behind her, then this song could have lots of sustained success. No matter what, this is an accomplishment that is most definitely worth celebrating. “Thank you thank you thank you ! Thank you GOD, Thank you MAMA HOLLY, Thank you to EVERYONEEEEE that took the time out of their week to go hard and make this happen! I love you I appreciate you I’m so grateful,” Meg wrote on Twitter. Needless to say, she is very happy.

Usher & Zacari Bring The Smoothness To Our New “R&B Season” Playlist Update: Stream

by

February isn’t getting any hotter for the northern hemisphere, but that doesn’t mean that the soul is getting colder. Moreover, we rounded up the very best of the best new music of the week on our new R&B Season playlist update in this genre’s field. While sometimes that genre barrier can become a little blurry, this next collaboration and artist falls firmly in that camp. Of course, we’re talking about “The King Of R&B,” Usher, and his newest team-up with Pheelz, their single “Ruin.” However, while the vocals definitely fit within that style, the Afrobeat-inspired beat makes for a uniquely breezy take that shows off a lot of vocal strength.

Next up on our R&B Season playlist update is the new Zacari song, “Ocean,” which is a another smooth and pleasant jam. Of course, the vocalist does very well switching between lower tones and high-pitched falsettos, which gives some nice dynamism to the guitar-led beat. Also, additional production elements such as flanging, atmospheric synth pads, and more add to the emotive punch of the song and make it stand out from a typical ballad. Overall, it’s an easy add to a driving playlist or for more chill vibes.

HNHH R&B Season Playlist: Stream

Speaking of atmosphere, we’d be remiss not to shout out SAFE’s new song, “Same Night,” on this week’s R&B Season playlist update. It’s another romantic cut that finds strength in its warbled samples and slow, reverb-drenched drum beat with sharp snares and crisp hi-hats. Not only that, but his vocals never overwhelm the instrumentation and vice versa, and it’s a very nice balance between tense swells and melancholy valleys. Even though it’s not the most eventful track here, it’s exactly the kind of mood-setting that much of this genre champions so well.

Finally, we wanted to give a nod to Daniel Caesar’s soft and patient cover of “Waiting In Vain” by Bob Marley, off of One Love – Music Inspired By The Film. This reimagining is definitely more sultry and less joyful than its original, but its strong sentiment and narrative core still holds on tight. Let us know in the comments what your favorite release on our R&B Season playlist update was this week -– and what else we missed, too. Check out the playlist above and, as always, log back into HNHH for more great music drops around the clock.

Mario Judah Gets Violent Beyond Belief On Debut LP “Endure”

by

You would be surprised at how many artists there are in hip-hop that combine rock music and or heavy metal with rapping. Most of them dwell in the undergrounds of hip-hop. A reason for that is that a lot of the time, the sounds clash too much and it can be overpowering on the ears. But, one rapper who is sticking true to his guns is Mario Judah.

The Flint, Michigan native shares similarities with artists like ZillaKami and SosMula. They are better known as City Morgue and they have been working on that sound for a few years now. Mario Judah has been in the game slightly less than those two. However, they are his closest comparison.

Listen To Endure By Mario Judah

Judah got his start in 2020 and since then he has been honing his sound to eventually drop his debut. Endure is the name of it and it is a seven-song solo effort with explosive instrumentals. You think for a first-ever project there would be some singles. That is far from the case here. The intro track “Kill All The Enemies” will hit you like a ton of bricks, especially if you are going into his style blind. Will it is a niche sound, still give it a try if you are looking for something outside of your comfort zone.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new album, Endure, by Mario Judah? Is this his best project to date so far, why or why not? Is he the best rapper that blurs the lines between rock and hip-hop?

UnoTheActivist Puts Out Grimy Banger “Lil X”

by

Underground and internet rappers are making a massive comeback right now. One of the leaders that is spearheading that return is New York producer evilgiane. He, along with his Surf Gang rap armada have been tearing things up on Soundcloud and the rest of the streaming platforms. They have been for the past couple of months now. However, one of them that got a slight head start on this trend is UnoTheActivist.

He is the cousin of mainstream rage and trap superstar, Playboi Carti. Both grew up in the state of Georgia and UnoTheActivist has even worked with him in the past. The 27-year-old has been in the game since 2022 only, but his presence has been felt amongst listeners. People appreciate his work and for good reason. Uno likes to produce spacey, lowkey bangers, which is a popular sound from this wave of talent.

For Uno, 2023 was maybe his most active year ever. He went on to drop three albums, with one of them being a collaborative effort with Bear1boss called Act & Bear1Beezy [Scene 2] (Hosted by DJ Maino the Plug). Now, Uno is bringing his first single of 2024 with “Lil X.” It is a short, two-minute cut about brags and violence.

Skilla Baby Makes Things Personal On “Plate”

by

We love talking about the Midwest rap talent here on HNHH. It is an underrated region in terms of producing interesting artists, compared to the West, the South, and the East. Today, we are heading back to Motor City, Detroit, Michigan, to talk about a face that is slowly establishing himself. That rapper is Skilla Baby.

Skilla, like most of the MCs from the city, is aggressive, gritty, and has a blue-collar mentality. This allows for the 25-year-old to come across as authentic when he talks about his personal experiences. 2023 was a busy year for Skilla Baby, as he went on to drop two projects and a load of singles. Those two were Controversy and We Eat The Most.

Listen To “Plate” By Skilla Baby

The Geffen Records signee is back with his third single of the year already. “Plate” sees Skilla Baby talk about how he is always trying to give back to his community and family. There is a saying that money changes people. However, a more appropriate way to look at it would be to say that money makes someone more of what they already are. That is what Skilla is trying to convince and convey. Even with all of the fame, he is still going to do what is right morally for those he holds close to his heart. It is a violent but emotional single that Skilla fans will appreciate.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single, “Plate” by Skilla Baby? Is this the best song you have heard from him recently? Do you think he is the best up-and-comer from Detroit, why or why not? Is an album in the works? 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 Skilla Baby. Finally, stay with us for the most informative song posts throughout the week.

Quotable Lyrics:

It’s so much s*** on my plate
Could’ve said, “F*** everybody”, packed my s*** and moved away
Rich as f***, still ridin’ round in five percent tint with a Drake
I can do bad by myself, I made sure everybody ate
Wasn’t nobody around me, I was starvin’, real, it was late
I’m up as f***, don’t give a f***, b*****s gon’ f***, n****s gon’ hate
