Your Old Droog Shares Short Madlib-Produced “Waves Crashing”

September 1, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Prolific New York rapper Your Old Droog is back with even more new material. The rapper has shared his 5th new song of 2023 and once again he’s teaming up with legendary producer Madlib. Madlib produced the beat for one of his earlier singles “Pronouns” which dropped back in April. The song runs nearly 3 minutes, which is long for Droog and it’s wrapped up over 200k streams on Spotify. The pair’s second collaboration of the year is shorter but even smoother.

The Youtube description for Your Old Droog’s new song “Waves Crashing” reads “something light” and he delivers on that. The track features a relaxed and vintage instrumental that Droog rides perfectly. Lyrically the song focuses on some familiar motifs for the rapper full of pop culture references and wordy raps about his abilities. The slick presentation of the bars and buttery smooth instrumental is a match made in heaven. Check out the brief but very memorable new track below.

Your Old Droog Delivers Something Light On New Madib Collab “Waves Crashing”

This is far from the first time Your Old Droog has dropped heat this year. In February he lead off the year with a more introspective track called “The Groundhog.” In April he dazzled fans with a major highlight in another new single. “Venture Capital” became a pretty serious fan favorite as soon as it was released. That combined with his two Madlib collaborations gives Droog quite an impressive output in 2023.

Your Old Droog also had a prolific 2022. He led off with a second collaborative album with Tha God Fahim called American Dream 2. He followed that up with a series of short releases including YOD Wave, The Yodfather, and more. What do you think of Your Old Droog and Madlib’s new song “Waves Crashing?” Let us know in the comment section below.

Quotable Lyrics:
It’s not only a way to rake cash in
I’m around till the sound of waves crashin
I’m a slave to the passion
How you like rap and say that Droog ain’t spazzin?

September 1, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Lil Peep was someone who was in the midst of changing the game in hip-hop. Overall, he was someone who came up during the SoundCloud era and really created his own lane. He was one of the pioneers of the emo-rap sound that would dominate 2016 and 2017. Unfortunately, the artist died incredibly young and it left his friends, family, and fans, devastated. As it turns out, at the time of his death, he was in the midst of making an album with none other than iLoveMakonnen.

The two were very good friends, and ever since his passing, Makonnen has been honest about how devastated he was by Peep’s death. For years, Makonnen refrained from dropping the project, which was mostly finished. Now, however, the new album Diamonds is slated to be dropped next Friday, September 8th. Below, you can find the first single to drop from the album, titled “November.” If you’re a fan of either artist, you have to give this a listen.

Lil Peep x iLoveMakonnen

Throughout the track, we get some plucky synths while Makonnen starts it off with some great vocals. From there, the song transitions into a punky ballad-like song that is led by Peep’s distinct vocals. Once again, we get a transition back into Makonnen’s part, which features those aforementioned plucky synths. It is a song that is going to make you feel good, especially with the summer coming to a close.

I know seasons change, and you’re not feelin’ right (Yeah)

Queen Naija & NBA YoungBoy Won’t Accept “No Fake Love” On Their New Single

September 1, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The first of September just so happens to fall on a New Music Friday, so we’re kicking the month off on a high note. Some of the biggest names in hip-hop are racking up streams on their latest singles, including Nicki Minaj and Lil Wayne. We unfortunately still haven’t heard anything from Drake’s For All The Dogs album, but Queen Naija and NBA YoungBoy’s “No Fake Love” is another noteworthy track worth checking out.

Naija has been hinting at dropping a song with the Louisana native for a while now, and the pair certainly didn’t disappoint. While the 27-year-old’s stunning vocals carry us through the first half of “No Fake Love,” YB comes in with a well-crafted verse to remind us why C-Murder gave him such high praise recently. “I know you got your own, I just wanna hold you down / For me, you’d do the same, I’m who to blame, I kept fake love around,” the young star’s romantic rap begins.

“No Fake Love” from Queen Naija and NBA YoungBoy is Here

This is the third single Naija has delivered so far in 2023. Just days into January she unleashed “Let’s Talk About It,” and in mid-spring, we heard her stunning “Words of Affirmation.” Though she often ends up in the middle of internet drama that has nothing to do with her, the vocalist has been in her own lane and thriving recently, and we can’t wait to see who she’ll connect with next.

Watch the brand new visual for Queen Naija and NBA YoungBoy’s “No Fake Love” single above, and add the track to your playlist on Spotify/Apple Music. The R&B diva has put out plenty of impressive collaborations throughout her career so far, and this one only adds to her list. Read our round-up of other noteworthy releases at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

LAYA Returns With Enticing 7-Track EP “Bet That”

September 1, 2023 by newhiphopnews

LAYA is an artist who has been on the rise over these past couple of years. Back in 2021, she gave us her Um, Hello EP which had a feature from New York superstar Fivio Foreign. From there, she went viral with a couple of singles such as “Sailor Moon 2.0” and “Need 2 Know.” With these tracks, the artist has been able to show tremendous range as she delves into various genres with ease. It’s clear she can do it all, whether that entails rapped passages or some incredibly sung vocals.

Fans have been waiting for her next move, and on Friday, she blessed those supporters with a seven-track EP called “Bet That.” This short but sweet EP provides fans with a glimpse of the various genres she operates within. For instance, on the opening track “Bet That,” we get some incredible guitar work that crescendos into a full-blown solo at the end. In the midst of this, LAYA makes her presence felt all throughout the track, ultimately setting the tone for the rest of the EP.

LAYA Drops A Dope Collection Of Tracks

Songs like “F’d Up” and “Psycho Bitch” are further examples of what LAYA is able to do. On the latter, we get these funky basslines all while the artist gives us these psychedelic vocal lines that feel like you’re on some sort of acid trip. Its an experimental cut that makes us want the artist to give us a full-length psych-rock experience. If you are not familiar with the singer, than this album is a great way to build some familiarity. Hopefully, a full album is on the horizon.

Let us know what you think of this new project from LAYA, in the comments section down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates from around the music world. We will always bring you the biggest releases from the biggest artists in the entire world.

Rod Wave is an artist who is known for delivering some truly emotional tracks. Although some people find this to be too much, others simply love the raw emotional honesty that he brings to his music. Regardless of how you may feel about his art, there is no denying the fact that Rod Wave believes in what he does. On September 15th, he will be dropping a brand-new album called Nostalgia, which will compete with a plethora of other albums.

So far, we have already gotten a single from Wave called “Call Your Friends.” On this track, we got to hear Rod Wave show off his singing voice. Of course, this is something he has already done quite a bit in the past. However, with his latest single, aptly titled “Come See Me,” Wave has decided to flex his rapping ability instead. This proves to be a solid choice as he gets to prove that he is not all about one sound. That said, this song does play on those emotional notes that he typically embraces.

Rod Wave Does More Rapping Than Singing

This track has some great piano lines and chords that come throughout the track. Moreover, Rod Wave raps about a failed relationship and the heartbreak that comes with it. He even speaks on the emotional anguish that could lead to taking your own life. It is a heartbreaking concept that speaks to the deep feelings Wave has been feeling while recording the new project.

Secondly, Yachty is mostly known for his ability to give you autotuned melodies and a mix of genres. However, he has proven himself to be quite the spitter when he wants to be.

However, they stunned fans this week when they revealed that they would drop two new tracks together. They are doing so under the duo name Blakkboyz, and fans are curious if this could lead to a new album. That said, they are testing the waters with these two songs. The first of these songs is called “Half Doin Dope” which features BabyTron. Moreover, they also came through with Van Gogh, which doesn’t have any other artists listed.

JID x Lil Yachty

Overall, both of these tracks are packed with energy. JID brings his usual speedy flow to the table, and interestingly enough, Yachty matches him. It makes for two dynamic songs that are bolstered by a BabyTron feature that has all of the personality you would expect.

In a total package, I don’t know if he baggin’
