Saba Shares Details On Four Songs From His Upcoming Album

August 24, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Earlier this year, Saba released two new singles both of which were collaborations with legendary producer No I.D. “Back In Office” came first in April and was followed by “hue_man nature” in June. The pair have an entire album together coming soon and while specific details on its release date aren’t available yet Saba gave XXL some details on particular songs from the project.

He shares details on four different songs from the album starting with “Waba.” “We had a studio session in 2019. I found this beat from that session that I guess I overlooked then. This was a fun record for me to make because I had to give myself permission to just talk sh*t,” he explained. Saba describes a song called “Black Suburbans” as being similar to “Back In Office.” “I’m going back to what made me fall in love with rap in the first place. It just feels like a classic rap record and not to toot my own horn,” he says about the song.

Saba Describes Songs From No I.D. Collab

He finishes the discussion by sharing details on “Stomping,” which he calls one of his favorite songs on the forthcoming album. ” I just be walking throughout the day sometimes and it’s in my head. That song is kinda important to me because I don’t really have a lot of songs that feel that way. To me, the funnest part about what I do is being able to find interesting pockets. Pockets that complement the beat, but they might be the opposite of what the listener is expecting to hear sometimes. “Stomping” is one of the records where I feel like I’m inside of a different pocket.”

Saba is following up his album Few Good Things. The project dropped early last year and featured G Herbo, 6LACK, Smino, Foushee, Black Thought, and more. What do you think of the details Saba shared about his forthcoming solo album with No I.D.? Let us know in the comment section.

Shaq, AKA Diesel, Drops New EDM Album “Gorilla Warfare”

August 24, 2023 by newhiphopnews

In addition to being one of the most beloved NBA legends ever, Shaq is also a DJ. For those who may not know, he goes by the DJ name Diesel. Overall, this is an appropriate name as it plays off the whole “Diesel” nickname he had while in the league. Although he may have started his music journey as a rapper, he has done a nice job transitioning over to the EDM world. His sets are chaotic and fans always seek them out. If you see Diesel at an EDM festival, you know it is going to be a very fun time.

That said, the artist has been working on his craft quite a bit as of late. He has been showing off new songs at shows and has even released a couple of singles. Recently, however, Shaq decided to drop a brand-new album for all of his devoted fans out there. As you can see, the new project is called “Gorilla Warfare” and it contains 10 tracks. Although it may be a quick listen, there is definitely a lot to unpack here.

Shaq Is Back As Diesel

This style of EDM will probably get compared to Dubstep. There is a lot going on in these tracks, although this is made for those festival crowds. If you like a lot of texture and computer sounds, then this will be for you. However, if you are more into hip-hop and want to hear the man rap, you are likely to be disappointed. That said, this is a solid listen for those who are just genuinely curious.

Let us know what you think of this Diesel project, in the comments section down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will be sure to keep you informed of all of the biggest releases from the biggest artists in the world.

Do Not Step Up To BONES On “Ratatat”

August 23, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The rapper with track after track on deck is back a day later with a brand-new cut. Michigan rapper BONES is ready for anyone to come for him on this track called “Ratatat.” It might just be another typical track for most people who do not know of BONES. But, he is a secretive innovator behind some of the biggest subgenres in rap. He now resides in California and is also the leader of the music collective TeamSESH. It is a home for a lot of underground artists who fall under the same umbrella as BONES does.

Which niches in the rap world do those include? Well, some of those include metal rap, emo rap, cloud rap, and trap rap. BONES has been making music since the early 2010s. That is before artists like XXXTentacion, Juice WRLD, Lil Peep, and others. Unfortunately, BONES never reached star status as they did. However, he should be considered a founding father of these areas in hip-hop. After all, he appeared on A$AP Rocky’s “Canal St.” for the sample that was used on it.

BONES Is Ruthless

Many of BONES’ songs are about murderous levels of violence and being a lone wolf. That vibe is heavy on the prolific rapper’s “Ratatat.” He raps, “Blood on my hands, blood on my face, blood on my blade / Promise I would, I bet that I could, but I cannot change / Razor blade on my waist, f*****g with BONES, it gon’ be your last day (What?)” It is a vicious song with haunting synths and room-shaking bass. It will be another eventual hit with his fans.

What are your initial thoughts on this brand new track “Ratatat?” Is BONES an underappreciated rapper in the rap world? Do you like rappers that drop a lot of music or when they take more time in between new material? We want to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts and opinions in the comments section below. Additionally, keep it locked in with HNHH for all the hottest song releases and all of the latest breaking news around the music world.

Quotable Lyrics:

Murder up on my mind so I don’t even know what time it is
Thunder and lightning above my head, what the f*** the climate is?
Standin’ here with the reaper, that’s my path, so I ride with him
These b*****s want your money and your secrets, don’t confide in them, wait

Of the project with Timberlake, Timbaland described it: “It’s fun Justin — it’s like FutureSex/LoveSounds but nothing too heavy, just giving you what you’d expect from us: not overthought, the lyrics are not so deep, it’s bob-your-head, dance-to-it music. Music is a young sport, and you have to keep it fun — fun and young. We’ve both seen a lot of life, but you can’t overthink it because of that, you have to bring out the 13-year-old, 18-year-old again, you know? If not, you can get into the old-fogey stage real quick. (Laughter) That’s just the world we live in.” Be on the lookout for Timbaland, Justin Timberlake, and Nelly Furtado’s new song next Friday, September 1.

MoneyBagg Yo Gets Personal With “Nun Like Me” Video

August 23, 2023 by newhiphopnews

MoneyBagg Yo has just dropped off the accompanying music video to his track, “Nun Like Me.” Throughout the video, MoneyBagg Yo pays homage to his Memphis roots. We find the rapper chowing down on local food, walking through Beale Street, and more. It seems to celebrate his hometown and the people who have supported his career. He also recently released visuals for other tracks from Hard To Love, like “F MY BM,” “Lies,” “Sholl Is,” and “Where Ya Bih At.”

MoneyBagg isn’t the type of artist you would expect to be vulnerable. His latest project, however, disproves that claim. In his most recent project, he discusses relationships, grief, mental health, fake friends, and life in general. His honest lyrics and raw emotion have resonated with fans, allowing them to relate to his songs on a deeper level.

The Track Appears On MoneyBagg Yo’s Latest Mixtape, “Hard To Love”

In June, MoneyBagg Yo finally released his Hard To Love mixtape. Guest appearances include Future, Fridayy, YTB Fatt, Fat Wizza, Lil Durk, and GloRillaIt was his first mixtape since 2020’s Code Red. He hasn’t released a full-length studio album since 2021’s A Gangsta’s Pain. Following the release of Hard To Love, MoneyBagg discussed the inspiration behind the project with Angie Martinez. He also opened up about being unfaithful to his girlfriend, Ari Fletcher.

“Of course, you know, I made some mistakes. You already know what I’m getting at with that,” the rapper told Martinez. “She ain’t take that well… It’s different when you have the person call them and try to tell them everything. ‘He did this. He was doing this. Did you know he do this?’ That made it even worse on her. But I kept it G, though. ‘Yea, I did that. I’m sorry. I made mistakes. That was then.’ I come from a pure place when I say that. I wanna work through it and get through it and she with it. She helping me work through it. That’s why I rock with her so tough.”

James Blake Is Headed To Outer Space On “Playing Robots Into Heaven”

August 23, 2023 by newhiphopnews

James Blake is one of the most intriguing artists in the world right now. He is also a highly recruited artist in the hip-hop landscape. He scored multiple feature and production credits on Travis Scott’s massive album UTOPIA. He also landed on Metro Boomin’s soundtrack for Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse. Blake’s track record will be one to remember when he eventually decides to call it quits. Obviously, though, he is still making music now and very exciting sounds at that.

Over the past three months, he seems to be taking a new direction compared to his previous works. James Blake is not one to settle for one sound, but this one is something totally left-field. Back in June, the multi-talent put out the lead single for his upcoming album called Playing Robots Into Heaven. The track is named, “Big Hammer,” and it is a four-minute track with electronic production with some trap-like kick drums. It also has a music video which is equally weird. A month later, the beautiful “Loading” features actual vocals from James.

James Blake Gears For Lift Off

Finally, the month right before the release date of September 8, we have this new cut that is titled after the album. The production puts you in a state of relaxation and zen. It transports you to outer space as if you are floating toward an alien-like world. The accompanying music video also provides the fans with album cover as you can above with the cover image. Do you think this will be an album of the year contender?

What are your initial thoughts on this new track and album trailer for “Playing Robots Into Heaven” by James Blake? Are you excited about this new direction he is going in? Which track out of three for this project is your favorite? We want to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave all of your thoughts and opinions in the comments section below.

Brent Faiyaz And Coco Jones Provide The Best “Moment Of Your Life”

August 23, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Brent Faiyaz has one of the most distinctive voices in the R&B space. His vocal range usually sits in a lower register, allowing for his signature sensual sound to stand out and set you in that certain vibe that is undefeated. He has done it on so many tracks like “Been Away,” “ALL MINE,” and “DEAD MAN WALKING.” Now, he will have another one to add to his stacked catalog. His new single with Coco Jones is a sexy cut with glorious singing and suggestive lyrics.

Unfortunately, this is the only collaboration we have with the former Disney Channel star and master crooner. The song is all about providing a one-of-a-kind experience in the bedroom for your partner and wanting to let the rest of the competition know about it. This theme is brought up a lot, especially in R&B music, but this cut is so well done. It runs just over three minutes but Brent Faiyaz and Coco Jones fill out the time perfectly.

Brent Faiyaz And Coco Jones Are A Perfect Match

Faiyaz sings about the amazing moment he shares with his woman from his perspective. He wants to tell all the other women that it was so good and that is how it should be when they come through next time. From Coco’s side, she is portraying the woman Brent is with for the night. She wants to show it all off for him and how she can be promiscuous even though she might seem like a goody-two-shoes. After listening to this, you will want a collab album from these two right away.

What are your initial thoughts on this new track, “Moment Of Your Life,” by Brent Faiyaz and Coco Jones? Do you think these two should collaborate more often? Who had the best part of this song? We want to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave all of your thoughts and opinions in the comments section below. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all the hottest song releases and all of the breaking news around the music world.

Quotable Lyrics:

Boy you look greater than you ever did
I show you my secrets can you handle it?
I don't wanna hide
Always been a good girl but I gotta bad side
Can I show you baby Ima guarantee you won't forget

Consequence Reworks “BLOOD STAIN 2”

August 23, 2023 by newhiphopnews

A little over a year ago, Queens, New York rap legend Consequence released another collaboration with Kanye West. The single, “Blood Stain,” did not have a Ye verse, but he provided another fire beat per usual. Consequence also bodied it with his tremendous command of the mic and dazzling verses. The song was received so well that the 46-year-old decided to release a sequel titled, “BLOOD STAIN 2.” It brought on the likes of Miami rap icon Rick Ross and R&B singer Amerie.

The second version was put out on streaming services almost a year later on March 17, 2023. However, a final rendition is on YouTube, but this time it is without Rozay’s opening verse. Instead, it only includes Amerie’s intro where she sings, “From the blood stain (ooh) / I know just one thing / There’s love and there’s pain / I’mma rise through my veins, yeah / It’s from the blood stains (ooh).” Then, it hops into the second Consequence verse and then back to Amerie’s outro.

Is Consequence’s Song Still Heat?

Overall, does this edition of Consequence’s track still sound just as good? Well, we will leave that up to you guys in the comments. However, the production is still great, nothing has changed there. Ye and Consequence have so much chemistry so that part is flawless. He rides the beat perfectly and Amerie, who was singing the background vocals in the original song gets the full credit here and they sound wonderful. Her part is very catchy and adds a nice atmosphere to a more overall aggressive tone.

What are your thoughts on this rework of Consequence’s “BLOOD STAIN 2?” Which version do you prefer, the original, the version with Rick Ross, or this one? Are Kanye West and Consequence an underrated duo in hip-hop history? We want to hear what you have to say, so leave all of your comments and opinions in the comments section. Additionally, keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the hottest song releases and breaking news around the music world.

Quotable Lyrics:

So, you can’t help what’s in your DNA
On the block, I would make at least a G a day
Young and the one who was really in the streets
Couldn’t get Kelis ’cause I couldn’t get a lease
