Lil Uzi Vert Hints At Imminent “Barter 16” Release Date

Since the moment the project dropped though, Uzi has been teasing at what they’ve got coming next. Eventually that took the form or Barter 16 an album inspired by Young Thug’s Barter series. Promotion for the project has been disjointed but undeniably fun. Uzi first started showing up to various places dressed up like Thugger, before sharing pics from the studio with one of Thug’s collaborators Birdman and announcing that the project would be executive produced by London On Da Track.

Now the newest news on Barter 16 is breaking and it seems like the record could be arriving soon. New texts from Uzi started emerging last night and continued into today. In the texts, Uzi tells various other artists and collaborators that the project is dropping this week.

Travis Scott Hits Huge Milestone With “Utopia”

Travis Scott impressed fans a couple of weeks ago when he dropped off his brand-new album, Utopia. Overall, this album was a huge triumph for Scott given all of the features. Moreover, it is an album that his core fanbase is appreciating quite a bit right now. Although the reviews have been fairly mixed, there is no doubt that commercial success is making up for it. For instance, in the first week, Scott was able to sell a total of 496K records. This was a massive accomplishment, even if bundles were involved.

Subsequently, many fans were interested in whether or not he would be able to carry this success into the second week. There hasn’t been a single hip-hop album to stay at number one for consecutive weeks in 2023. However, it looks like Travis Scott has gotten over the hump. According to AllHipHop, Scott sold 147,000 units in the album’s second week. This was good enough for first place as he exceeded Morgan Wallen by 50K units. Now, hip-hop finally has a multiweek number one in 2023.

If there was any artist who could have pulled this off, it most certainly would have been Travis. However, Drake is set to drop a new album as well, and he will likely go number one as well. Moving forward, it should be interesting to see how Travis does in his third week. Quavo is dropping an album this Friday and that will certainly be looking to compete for the top spot. However, Scott and Wallen appear to be immovable forces right now.

Let us know your thoughts on Utopia, in the comments section down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will always be sure to keep you informed.

Noname Closes Out “Sundial” Album With “oblivion” Featuring Common & Ayoni

Over the next month, we’ll hear the final hip-hop and R&B albums of summer 2023 before transitioning into the industry heavy-hitters, who tend to share major projects in the last quarter of the year. This weekend continued the trend of artists both new and old showing out on singles and LPs. Those who stand out in the latter category are Trippie Redd (A Love Letter To You 5) and Noname (Sundial).

Noname didn’t come quietly with her latest project, bringing on collaborators like Atoni, $ilkMoney, billy woods, and Jimetta. She received no shortage of backlash for her decision to work with Jay Electronica on “balloons,” which also features Eryn Allen Kane. Elsewhere on Sundial, the 31-year-old threw shade at huge names like Jay-Z, Beyonce, Kendrick Lamar, and Rihanna, earning her plenty of attention in the media. We’ve already reported on that drama, but today (August 13), we’re spotlighting Sundial‘s closing song, “oblivion” featuring Common and Ayoni.

Noname’s Sundial Takes Us to “oblivion”

“Sacrificial lambs, scam the church / The whole world berserk, the product is a perk,” the Chicago native begins over production by Berg. While Noname’s work here is impressive, it’s her collaborator’s verse as “oblivion” comes to an end that has us pressing the replay button consistently. “I’m a pallbearer to this fake ni**a era / Gamblin’ life so that I could get better,” the multivalent reflects in the latter half of his turn contribution. “My metaphysics ain’t for the Metaverse / It’s red alerts, I touch where the ghetto hurts.”

Before another weekend of HNHH release recommendations comes to a close, stream “oblivion” featuring Common and Ayoni above. If you’re feeling the collaborative track, make sure to add it to your playlist on Spotify/Apple Music. For those of you who haven’t yet streamed Sundial, you can do so at the link below.

ScHoolboy Q Previews New Song

Earlier this summer, ScHoolboy Q promised fans that some new music is on the horizon. Since then, however, listeners have heard little from the performer. It appears as though they could be getting a new song in the near future, however, based on a recent clip. In the clip, ScHoolboy Q and his crew are seen vibing to an energetic, previously-unheard track.

Though an official release date for the song has yet to be revealed, the teaser has managed to get fans excited to hear something new. As expected, they sounded off in the comments. The track would be ScHoolboy Q’s first single since 2022’s “Soccer Dad.” His new album will also follow his 2019 LP CrasH Talk, and is set to arrive “very very soon.” In June, the hosts of the Back On Figg podcast, who’ve been involved in the production of the album, gave fans a highly-anticipated update.

2RARE And Blueface Join Forces For “2HUMPY”

2RARE and Blueface are here for a brand new song called “2HUMPY.” The track is now the 15th single that either features or stars him this year. 2RARE has worked with some established names in the rap game such as French Montana, NLE Choppa, and Lil Durk. He continues to blow up and this new collaboration with Blueface is further proof of that. But first, let us take a quick look at where 2RARE has come from, for those who do not know.

He legally goes by Naseem Young and put all of the pressure on himself to make it big in the music industry. He fully dedicated himself to rap in his teenage years, and this came after a realization that the life of a rap star would be a more fulfilling career path for him over school and football. The song that launched his career was “Big Bag,” released independently in 2019, which allowed 2RARE to sign a joint deal with 10K Projects, Homemade Projects, and Internet Money Records.

Fun Is One Word To Use

2RARE and Blueface have something here with “2HUMPY.” It is an easy breezy listen and it is all about a shout-out to those with a lot of junk in the trunk. The beat almost seems to sample “Baby Got Back” by Sir Mix-A-Lot and it adds perfectly to what the song is aiming for. These two might need to collaborate more in the future.

What are your thoughts on this track “2HUMPY” with Blueface and 2RARE? Have you heard 2RARE’s music before, and if so what is your favorite song of his? What are your thoughts on all the recent drama with Blueface and his love life? We want to hear all of your thoughts and opinions, so be sure to leave them for us in the comments section below.

Iggy Azalea Confirms Release Date For Her Next Single

Iggy Azalea recently took to social media, providing her followers with an update. Earlier this week, she had claimed that she’d be unveiling some details about new music soon. This got fans excited to hear more, and they immediately began badgering the rapper for information. One fan even shared a SpongeBob SquarePants meme, letting her know that she couldn’t get away with being so vague.

Fortunately for followers, however, Iggy soon provided an eagerly-awaited release date. The Australian hitmaker revealed that she plans to release her next single later this month, on August 25. Listeners can’t wait to hear her latest offering, sounding off in the comments section.

Iggy Azalea’s New Song To Be Released August 25

Though supporters look forward to hearing the song, some recent headlines have put a damper on things. The news comes amid current drama surrounding Iggy Azalea’s alleged support of Tory Lanez. Lanez finally received his sentence for his 2020 shooting of Megan Thee Stallion earlier this week. Apparently, Iggy wrote a letter to the judge, in which she claimed that she didn’t believe he is an abuser. As expected, she immediately began to receive backlash when the letter went public. She later took to social media, claiming that she never intended for the letter to be read by anyone but the judge.

She further said that she hasn’t been in contact with Lanez for some time, adding that she doesn’t “‘support’ anyone.” With that being said, she claimed in the letter that she had already hired Lanez to be the executive producer of her next album prior to his conviction. “If [Tory] is able to remain in the United States after he has served time, I would employ him without hesitation as an executive producer on my next album,” it reads.

Ghostface Killah Returns And Taps Remy Ma For “YUPP!”

Ghostface Killah has returned to music with a new track entitled “YUPP!” featuring his fellow New Yorker, Remy Ma. The pair honors their East Coast roots but trading bars over a gritty beat. The track couldn’t come at a more perfect time, as Hip Hop celebrates its 50th anniversary this year. The song is reportedly a part of the rapper’s upcoming album, on which he’s collaborating with the media and content company Mass Appeal. This would be his first project since 2019’s Ghostface Killahs.

Coming in at just over three minutes, the rapper’s bravado is more than evident. With a career spanning over three decades, the Wu-Tang rapper continues to prove he’s still a master at getting lyrical. Remy Ma works as the perfect paring with Ghostface, as the two share such ferocity when it comes to their delivery. It makes one wonder why did we have to wait this long for the pair to collaborate.

The Track Captures The Essence Of East Coast Hip Hop

As of today, neither Ghostface nor his team have released any new information about the upcoming project. It is also unclear when or if the project will be released this year. It looks like we’ll have to wait and see. We’ll keep you posted about new music from the Staten Island rapper.

In other related news, despite releasing some new music, Ghostface’s personal life has seemed to hit a sour note. In May, the rapper’s son, Infinite Coles, took to Instagram to call Ghost “the full definition of a deadbeat” and bring forth various claims. “I haven’t had a full conversation with you or seen you in over 15 years!” he wrote in the post’s caption. “You haven’t once tried to reach out to me to see how I’m feeling or how I’m doing. I have messages that literally show me reaching out to you and receiving no response for over a DECADE!”

Quotable Lyrics:

N*ggas will rob you and take your pharmaceuticals
Gonna be a lot of slow singing at your funeral
Didn’t I tell you, savages in the night (YUPP)
And you don’t even know it’s on site (YUPP)

Lil Yachty And 1017 ALYX 9SM Team Up For “Warriors”

Lil Yachty continues to keep fans fed with his latest single, “Warriors.” The track is part of a collaboration with clothing brand 1017 ALYX 9SM. According to the brand’s website, the song will be featured on a compilation album featuring several other artists, including folk artist Ethel Cain. At the time of this writing, none of the other expected appearances had been announced.

As well as defending his position in Hip Hop, Yachty is on the lookout for love in the track. Additionally, it suits the album’s dark and moody tone. Lil Yachty speaks of the loneliness of being a rapper and how he’s searching for a connection with someone who can understand and appreciate his life. It’s a vulnerable side of Yachty that we haven’t seen before, and it adds a new dimension to his music.

The Track Is Part Of A Compilation Album

It is not known when the project will be released, but it is likely to be sometime this year. The brand appears to be making its first foray into music, so it will be interesting to see how it goes. It is yet to be seen if the project will be successful. However, the music industry is highly competitive, and the project will have to stand out in order to be successful.

In other related news, the rapper also dropped off his latest full-length LP at the beginning of this year, Let’s Start Here. It debuted at No. 9 on the Billboard 200, going on to sell 36K album-equivalent units in its first week. In July, Lil Yachty then leaked six songs on his alternate SoundCloud account, leading fans to believe that he was working on new music. Let us know what you think, in the comments below.

Quotable Lyrics:

Lord, please bring my b*tch ’cause these hoes fried out

He gon’ chase clout until he clipped and end up dyin’ out
