2Pac & DMX’s AI-Inspired Track Is Fan Approved

August 10, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Artificial intelligence’s growing presence in music has often divided fans. However, a new track that features a posthumous link-up between 2Pac and DMX has been well-received by fans. The snippet has sent fans into a frenzy online. Posted by Youtuber dopfunk, the track entitled “Facing Death” finds the two legends recalling their own demise.

“I’m gone, but I will never be forgotten/ Was talkin’ about death ’cause I knew n*ggas was plotting,” the AI 2Pac raps. “So I came back, only to haunt these n*ggas/ Snakes will slither/ It don’t matter who pulled the trigger!” Following that, DMX’s AI-generated verse takes on a disturbingly similar haunting tone: “And in due time, you’ll find out for yourself who you be. Ain’t no riches that will help you in hell when you meet/ Your maker/ He’ll break you down and analyze what you did in your life/ N*gga, everybody has to die.”

Some Are Still Skeptical About AI’s Growing Use in Music

The comment section was flooded with comments about the track’s authenticity, and one person even said that it “resurrected the essence of these great artists.” Some even proposed that the Youtuber should make more music. Another fan wrote, “They live on through your art man, Dopfunk keep this coming a full album would be intoxicating. This gave me chills and reminded me what real hip hop is again, thank you for what you do. 2Pac and DMX are immortal, hataz can never kill a legend!!”

But not everyone is on board with AI technology being used in music. Earlier this year, Drake and The Weeknd’s voices were used on the AI-inspired track “heart on my sleeve.” In response, Universal Music Group, where both artists are currently signed, issued a statement. In the letter, the company asked its stakeholders about “which side of history” they want to be on. Whether it’s on “the side of artists, fans and human creative expression, or on the side of deep fakes, fraud and denying artists their due compensation.”

Yeat Reflects On His Success With Somber New Single “Bigger then everything”

August 10, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Yeat is easily one of the more interesting artists out right now. Overall, he is someone who burst onto the scene thanks to his truly unique flow and voice. Moreover, his song “Sorry Bout That” was a viral smash that had lots of plays on TikTok. Now, however, he is much more established thanks to a plethora of incredible songs and projects. At this point, it seems clear that the artist is ready to take the leap to superstardom. If only more artists would feature him on their projects.

Perhaps there is a good reason for why Yeat has not featured on more songs. A lot of this has to do with just how unique he truly is. In order to have him on your song, you have to completely match his vibe. Either way, he continues to push forward, and fans are excited for his next move. As it turns out, a new album called Lifestyle might just be on the horizon. However, first, he has decided to drop a single simply called “Bigger then everything.” And yes, we know that is not grammatically correct.

Yeat Is Back For More

Throughout this song, Yeat ditches his usual energy for something tuned down. Once again, the artist brings producer BNYX along for the ride. Here we get some gorgeous piano melodies all while the Oregon MC speaks on his come-up. From people doubting him to his life right now, he feels perfectly at peace with his current lifestyle. It is an introspective track that is rare for the artist, but fans can appreciate it.

Let us know what you think of this new Yeat song, 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 bring you the biggest releases from the biggest artists.

Quotable Lyrics:

I got diamonds on my yacht, and I got diamonds on my bitch (Yeah, what?)

I’m done layin’ back, plottin’ ’em, droppin’ everythin’, I’m droppin’ all these hits, yeah, yeah

Lil B’s Catalog Continues To Grow Catalog With “B-Unit”

August 10, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Lil B continues to feed his fans more and more music. This time it is for his newest mixtape B-Unit. It comes off the heels of his June 2023 release B***h Mob tha Album which was 21 songs and over an hour long. Before that, he got more jazzy on Afriknatis.

The prolific rapper from Berkeley, California is a controversial figure in hip-hop and has been for quite some time. Furthermore, the “BasedGod curse” in sports also adds to the odd mystique of the soon-to-be 34-year-old rapper. With a style like none other, he is always going to be unpredictable. You can love him or hate him, but he will still pump out music.

Project Details

If you are going to tackle another Lil B project, you are extremely familiar with how he approaches his albums and mixtapes. However, if you are not, here are things to expect.

There are also six freestyles, two remixes, and two skits.

Southside Previews New Music With Future And Lil Yachty

August 10, 2023 by newhiphopnews

One of the undisputed G.O.A.Ts (greatest of all time) in the Atlanta rap scene, especially when it comes to producers, is Southside. He has worked alongside the most popular rappers of this generation like Young Thug, Drake, Travis Scott, and countless others. The biggest hits will easily go down as the best trap rap songs of this decade and maybe ever. Those include, “Both” with Gucci Mane and Drake, “Met Gala” by Offset and Gucci Mane, there are just too many to name.

However, it is hard to ignore arguably his most frequent collaborator, Future. His recent efforts on Pluto’s latest record I NEVER LIKED YOU, were absolute heat and debatably the most well-produced tracks. Southside’s fingerprints were on “I’M DAT N****,” “WE JUS WANNA GET HIGH,” and “VOODOO,” featuring Kodak Black. With the success of that album and the camaraderie that the Atlanta superstars possess, they are continuing to combine their talents in the studio. However, Lil Yachty is teaming up with the legend as well and both sound incredible in this latest Instagram video.

Kid Cudi “Insano” Rumored Release Date Revealed

August 10, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Kid Cudi is an artist who is incredibly influential in the hip-hop world. Overall, he is one of the reasons why Kanye West pivoted to the sound he was going for on 808s & Heartbreaks. Moreover, Cudi has influenced the likes of Travis Scott. Scott has done a lot with the Cudi blueprint, and these two still have a lot of respect for one another. In fact, there have been talks of a Cudi x Scott album, however, there is no release date. Instead, Cudi believes it is still a possibility, especially given the recent Utopia collab “LOOOVE.”

Now, however, Kid Cudi is focused on his latest endeavor, an album called INSANO. This project has been teased for quite some time, and fans are anticipating a great project. There have been a ton of rumored features here. Names like Travis Scott, Young Thug, and even Lil Yachty have been thrown around. Needless to say, there are plenty of reasons to be excited right now. As for the release date, September has been thrown around. Last night, however, numerous publications and blogs gave us an exact date.

“Insano” By Kid Cudi

Based on the tweet above, it would appear as though this album will be released on September 15th. However, it doesn’t seem as though Cudi himself has said anything about the release date. That being said, it seems like this release date could just be a rumor and should be approached with some caution. Although, this does line up well with the timeline that Cudi himself had suggested previously. No matter what, fans have every reason to be excited right now.

Overall, Insano should prove to be a very interesting album. We are excited to listen to it and get a sense of what this new Cudi sound is like.

August 9, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Lil Yachty recently hopped on social media, letting followers know what they have to look forward to. According to the Georgia-born rapper, he’s got new music in the works that’ll be coming to fans soon. He managed to stir up some excitement among users in his comments section, who have made it clear that they’re eager to hear what he has to offer them next.

“More music otw!¡” Lil Yachy simply captioned the post. He also shared a selfie, where he’s seen menacingly staring down the camera. He rocks what appears to be a zebra print sweater with brightly colored details, along with a coordinating rainbow beanie and some shades. It’s unclear exactly what the artist will offer fans next, but whatever it is, they look forward to it. Earlier this month, he dropped Slide after first teasing it in July. The three-track EP has fans hoping that his new music will live up to his last release.

The rapper also dropped his latest full-length LP at the beginning of this year. He unveiled his fifth studio album, Let’s Start Here, in January. 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 coming up on something big. With that being said, very few specifics of his next release have been unveiled.

Lil Yachty is scheduled to set off on “The Field Trip” tour next month, kicking off with a performance in Washington, DC. Before setting off on the expedition, however, he’ll do a few festival performances in the next couple of weeks. After closing the North American leg of the tour with a Detroit show in November, he’ll head to Europe to perform in Oslo, Berlin, London, Paris, and more.

Lakeyah Puts Her Spin On J-Kwon’s “Tipsy” With “In Da Club” From “The PixTape EP”

August 9, 2023 by newhiphopnews

As J. Cole recently pointed out, the women of rap have been holding it down in 2023. It may have taken the genre over half a year to generate the first No. 1 hip-hop album and single, but still, the content we’ve heard coming from our favourite female artists these past few months has been incredible. Last New Music Friday (August 4), several up-and-comers, Lola Brooke, Flo Milli, BIA, Lakeyah, and Doechii came together to show their stuff with help from Angie Martinez and DJ Diamond Kuts on The PixTape EP.

Today, we’re spotlighting Lakeyah’s “In Da Club,” which finds the 22-year-old making great use of J-Kwon’s “Tipsy” beat. “One, here comes the two to three to the four / Every b**ch around me want the milli’ and amor,” Lakeyah reimagines the original lyrics on the first verse. “A ni**a whisper to me that he tryna see me more / I whisper back, ‘I am not a b**ch you can afford,’” she confidently continues just a few bars later.

Lakeyah is “In Da Club” This Summer

As AllHipHop notes, J-Kwon’s classic song peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 2004. It appeared on his Hood Hop LP, which also boasts tracks like “You & Me” featuring Sadiyyah and “My Enemies” with Jermaine Dupri. The last album we heard from the rapper was his self-titled effort in March 2010. While he’s not generating hits like he used to, it’s certainly nice to see the industry pay homage to the past generation of artists.

Listen to Lakeyah’s confident “In Da Club” track above, and if you’re feeling it, be sure to add it to your playlist on Spotify/Apple Music. Are you a fan of the Hip-Hop 50 tributes we’ve been seeing plenty of so far this summer? Let us know in the comments, and find more recent release recommendations on our Fire Emoji update at the link below.

Quotable Lyrics:

We celebratin’ wins, tell that h*e to check the score
She walkin’ on the ceilin’ but the ones on the floor
A ni**a whisper to me that he tryna see me more
I whisper back, “I am not a b**ch you can afford”

C Dot Castro And Logic Trade Bars On “Masked Up”

August 9, 2023 by newhiphopnews

C Dot Castro and Logic have some new heat on the street that many fans will eat up. These two have worked together extensively lately, and “Masked Up” is just another banger to add to their collection. For those who do not know, C Dot Castro has been in the underground scene for quite some time. He has put out a good amount of work since the mid-2010’s and he is looking to break free from that.

Additionally, he joined Logic’s own record label, Bobby Boy Records. Other artists on the label include Travis Stacey, JRB, Big Lenbo, Doctor Destruction, John Lindahl, and Kajo. It began in 2019, originally under Elysium, but that has obviously changed. Logic also partnered with Def Jam Records and Universal Music Group to make this happen. C Dot Castro brings a lot of energy to the track, providing the chorus and a full-fleshed out verse.

Are C Dot Castro And Logic A Dynamic Duo?

It makes you wonder if C Dot and Logic should come together for a collab album because their chemistry is so effortless on “Masked Up.” It was difficult to decide who has the better verse because both bring speedy flows and great rhymes. C Dot raps, “Spin it back like a ereh-ereh mix, mm Got that dope when you itch for the quick fix My whole life I’ve been running with misfits My whole life I’ve been up in the trenches.” The “ereh-ereh” bar is fun when you listen to it because C Dot is mimicking what a record sounds like when you push it back and forth.

What are your thoughts on this new track from Logic and C Dot Castro? Who has the best verse on the song? With all of their collaborations out should they drop a collab album? Give us your thoughts on all of the above, below in the comments section. Additionally, be sure to stay locked in with HNHH for all the latest new music and all of the hottest song releases.

Quotable Lyrics:

Yeah, the boy stoned, no bedrock (bedrock)
Pick up the mic, and they head rock (head rock)
I got the sight, it’s a dead shot (dead shot)
No scope, headshot (ah)

50 Cent Tells “Men’s Health” Why He Doesn’t Wear Bulletproof Vests Anymore

August 8, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Though 50 Cent never really left the public eye, he has roared back into the limelight for many this year. He’s currently on an absolutely massive 93-stop tour in celebration of his 2003 classic Get Rich Or Dye Tryin’ turning 20. He also just recently popped up on Nas’ new album Magic 2. The pair teamed up on a song called “Office Hours” which made for their first team-up in over 20 years. in a recent viral clip from his interview with Men’s Health, 50 explains how he learned to value himself and stop chasing all the women he met after becoming a celebrity.

Now more info from the interview is emerging, including why 50 Cent stopped wearing his iconic bulletproof vest. “When did I stop wearing the bulletproof vest? I don’t have a specific timeline for that,” his answer begins. “You know what happened? I got other things. I had gotten vehicles, like, full-blown level 6. The same stuff Obama is riding around in. “So it didn’t make sense to have to wear it every day because it was like in between that one space that I was going into the building and coming out of the building. So, I started to wear it less but this is almost like my hallmark. In the beginning of my career, I was seen more often with it than without it.”

50 Cent On Moving On From The Bulletproof Vest

Recently after a stop on his ongoing tour, 50 Cent caught up with Griselda rapper Benny The Butcher backstage. The crossover had fans dying for a new collaboration between the pair. That isn’t the only crossover people are hoping for following his team-up with Nas.

Last week Waka Flocka spoke on how he wanted 50 to team up with Busta Rymes for an entire collaborative album. While it didn’t serve as any kind of actual announcement of anything, fans had no trouble agreeing with the vision. What do you think of 50 Cent’s explanation for why he stopped wearing his trademark bulletproof vest? Let us know in the comment section below.
