The Weeknd Previews “Another One of Me,” Final Feature Of His Career Unless Daft Punk Reconnects

by

The Weeknd’s vocal chops have long regarded him as one of the best in the music industry today. During a recent concert, he revealed that he has no future plans for guest features – save for one special duo that he’s long looked up to. As Pitchfork reports, the Canadian is currently touring through Europe on his After Hours Til Dawn tour. On stage in Warsaw, he teased a new verse that could mark his last time collaborating with another artist.

“And I just wanna say, this, this is gonna be the last feature I ever do, ever in my career, so I wanna perform it for you guys tonight,” Abel Tesfaye said before belting out “Another One of Me.” It remains unclear who else will appear alongside the Dawn FM artist, or when the complete version is expected to be released. While fans are certainly sad to hear this could be The Weeknd’s last joint effort, he did leave us with some hope for the future. “The final feature… Unless Daft Punk ever get back together,” he wrote via Twitter on Friday (August 11).

The Weeknd Attempts to Bring Daft Punk Out of Retirement

The electronic artists announced the end of their lengthy 28-year run together in February 2021. Prior to going their separate ways, Daft collaborated with The Weeknd on “I Feel It Coming” and the title track from his Starboy LP, both of which were performed at the 2017 Grammy Awards. In the past, the Uncut Gems actor has credited the French creatives as “one of the reasons [he makes] music.”

It’s unclear what the likelihood of a Daft Punk renaissance is at this time, but seeing as he’s still so young, fans of Tesfayes are hoping that he doesn’t retire from making music with his contemporaries quite yet. Elsewhere during his ongoing European tour, The Weeknd left audiences stunned as he managed to hold a 15-second note. See that incredible moment at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Gucci Mane Reflects On Life With “Now It’s Real”

by

Gucci Mane seems to have lived nine lives and is now reflecting on them all. The “So Icy” rapper’s career has had many ups and downs. All of which Big Guwop referred to in his music. As his life moves forward, it makes sense that he can reflect on the past as well. With “Now It’s Real,” Gucci not only enjoys the spoils of his success but also offers advice to the younger generation of rappers.

In the accompanying video released on YouTube, Guwop’s opulent lifestyle is on full display — complete with luxury cars, expensive jewelry, and designer clothes. His children also appear in the video, adding a heartwarming touch. As he recounts his time in prison, Gucci Mane contrasts it with his success today. A federal prison sentence was handed down to the rapper in 2014 for firearms charges. He was later released in September 2016.

“Breath Of Fresh Air” Scheduled For October Release

Gucci Mane’s new track will presumably appear on his upcoming album, Breath Of Fresh Air. The project is scheduled to be released later this fall in October. While there has been no tracklist released as of yet, the rapper did share the album’s artwork via Instagram. The cover sees a polished Gucci, with his lady Keyshia Ka’oir Davis and their two children Ice and Baby Iceland. Almost reminiscent of a family photo, the cover hints that Gucci has fully embraced his next stage in life as a husband and father.

Gucci Mane announced the project back in July, along with following up with the project’s first single, “Bluffin” featuring Lil Baby. In a recent interview with Zane Lowe, he opened up about what inspired him to take this new direction on his work. He noted that the deaths of various peers had a profound effect on him. “Ever since, I guess November of when Dolph passed away and my artist Scarr passing away and TakeOff passing away and Pooh locked up and Foo locked up, that’s why I kind of named my album a Breath of Fresh Air,” he explained.

Quotable Lyrics:

I could’ve been in prison with a hundred years
Yet I woke up in a mansion with two hundred mill’ (Huh)
Had to let go of the lean and get off the pills (The lean)
Cut a couple n*ggas off ’cause they didn’t keep it real (F*ck ’em)

Vince Staples Explains That He Doesn’t Let Women Come To His House

by

Many celebrities take an extremely public approach to their public life and it often backfires. That’s why some are obsessed with maintaining their privacy as much as possible and Vince Staples is no different. The notoriously private rapper has spoken often about his insistence on keeping details to himself. In a new interview with Complex though, he takes it to an even further extent.

In the clip that’s making the rounds online Vince Staples is specifically talking about being private with his residence. According to his own estimation less than 5 people know his actual address and that number has never included the women he’s dating. When someone suggest that Vince’s female friends may come over to his house he quickly shuts it down. He suggests that if you bring somebody to your house then they know where it is forever and that can cause problems in the future. Vince’s mother and sister are two of the only people allowed to know about his residency.

Vince Staples Is Secretive About His House

In the comments of the interview, many fans agree with Vince’s approach. “He’s protecting his Peace and Energy, your home is not supposed to have a revolving door,” reads one of the top comments. “Right! I never been big on letting everyone know where you stay!” agrees another. Just yesterday it was announced that Vince Staples would be the newest artist to join The Alchemist on his “Craft Singles” series. The physical singles series dates back to 2016 as has featured a number of major artists along the way. Vince has long been a collaborator of The Alchemist and the pair have teamed up on numerous tracks.

Early last year Vince Staples released his new album RAMONA PARK BROKE MY HEART. The 16-track project featured Mustard, Ty Dolla $ign, and Lil Baby and contained one of his biggest songs to date in “MAGIC.” That project was a follow-up to his self-titled 2021 album which was a short collaborative project with Kenny Beats. What do you think of Vince Staples approach to his privacy as a public figure? Let us know in the comment section below.

Quentin Miller Comes Through With “Strike…”

by

Quentin Miller has been dropping fantastic music throughout his career but he has not gotten the notoriety like some others have. He is from Atlanta, Georgia, one of the hottest spots for icons in the trap rap subgenre. T.I., Gucci Mane, Young Thug, Future, Migos, and many more are in the conversation for all-time Atlanta rap icons. However, Miller’s name is thrown off to the wayside and it is head scratching. He might not have the worldwide appeal but he can craft a track better than most.

He has proved that once more with his newest song, “Striked…” It was uploaded to his YouTube page Quentin Miller which has right around 31,000 subscribers. The song features thumping bass, light sound effects lingering in the background, and nicely autotuned vocals. It creates a wavy vibe that is perfect for a late-night drive with the windows down. The beat is so good, Miller lets it play out for the last 30 seconds or so.

Quentin Miller Has Worked With The Best

Besides making his own stuff, Miller has assisted in writing for some of the most highly touted records of the past decade or so. He has written for Drake, Nas, Big Sean, and other top-flight rappers in the game. In the month of January 2023, he was in the headlines, talking about Drake and Big Sean in particular. The scandal he got tied into was for the beef between Drake and Meek Mill, the former enemy of the Canadian star. Miller was accused by Mill for ghostwriting for Drake’s classic mixtape If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late.

Unfortunately for Miller, it might be a big reason why his name never got cleared due to all the backlash he received. What are your first impressions of this new song by Quentin Miller? Were you aware that he wrote some songs for Drake? Will this song make you check out his material? We want to hear all of your thoughts in the comments section below. Additionally, be sure to keep it locked with HNHH for the latest song releases from the mainstream and underground.
