Rihanna Teases New Album, Says It’ll Be “Amazing”

by

Fans have been waiting for new music from Rihanna for what feels like forever, but fortunately, they may not have to wait too much longer. The Fenty Beauty founder hosted a launch party this Friday for the brand’s new Soft’lit Foundation, where she gave Extra an exciting update on her upcoming album. The project will follow her 2016 LP Anti, and according to her, there’s a good reason she’s waited this long.

RiRi told the outlet that she’s determined to make sure her next project is flawless. Luckily, it seems as though she has high hopes. “It’s gonna be amazing,” she said of upcoming music. “It has to be — that is the only reason it’s not out yet. If I’m not feeling it and I’m not feeling like it represents the evolution, the time I spent away … There should be a show of growth, right?”

“I want to play, and I feel like music is a playground, and I want to have fun with it and show truly where I am at,” she also added. As for any potential collabs listeners can expect, she says she’s only willing to team up with another artist if it’s “very intentional. I’ll know when I have the record.”

One fellow hitmaker fans already know to be working on the album is none other than the father of Rihanna’s children, ASAP Rocky. She told Entertainment Tonight this month that they struggled to decide which of the songs each of them would claim, calling them all “so good.” What do you think of Rihanna’s latest update on her anxiously awaited upcoming album? Are you looking forward to hearing it when it finally drops? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Hardrock Shows Who He Is Influenced By On Sophomore LP “My Gift To You”

by

Up-and-coming Atlanta, Georgia rapper and auto-crooner Hardrock really was impressive on his debut album 1of1. The 2023 project flashed the youngster’s potential with incredibly dark and trippy production and unconventional, but cohesive flows. Working with producers such as BNYX and F1LTHY on that tape really helped conjure up some intriguing ideas that could be further fleshed out in the future. You can tell that he was an impressionable artist, borrowing some style cues from Young Thug, Future, Playboi Carti, among others. However, those influences might be even more apparent on this sophomore effort from Hardrock, My Gift To You.

Right from the intro track “BOBA,” Hardrock does not leave an impression in our opinion. He is sort of in the background, taking a backseat to the roughly mixed instrumental. On 1of1, “poet” was the much more interesting start, doing a bit of spoken word over some entrancing production. Unfortunately, most of the beats are not as memorable either.

Listen To My Gift To You By Hardrock

As for Hardrock, his performances range from decent to nearly straight rip-offs of Carti and Thug. He still has a lot of time to grow as an artist. Not everyone starts off with their own refined sound. But the love for the legends that have come before is a little too much. Still, give the record and listen and see what you can enjoy from it.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new album My Gift To You by Hardrock? Is this one of his better projects, why or why not? Which song did he have the strongest performance on? Which album do you prefer more, this, or 1of1? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Hardrock. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on around the music world.

Ice Spice, Future & Many More Headline Star-Studded “Fire Emoji” Playlist Update: Stream

by

We’ve got a whole lot of amazing hip-hop to cover this week, and our new Fire Emoji playlist update is here to take you through the best of the best. Leading the way is a wildly anticipated new remix, Cash Cobain’s “Fisherr” reimagining featuring Ice Spice, and Bay Swag. With some new auto-tuned vocal stylings from the Bronx MC, plus catchy Cobain refrains, this has the potential to be one of the most low-key bangers of the summer. Next up is the new cut from Nardo Wick, Future, and Southside, “Back To Back.” It’s exactly the kind of murderous, menacing, and minimal trap that Wick’s been hard at work with across his other hits.

Speaking of Southside, he produced the hard-hitting and almost creepy new single from Destroy Lonely and Ken Carson, “President.” Furthermore, another Fire Emoji highlight this week is Killer Mike, Offset, and Blxst’s “EXIT 9,” which pays tribute to the late Dungeon Family legend Rico Wade. ‘Set adds a nice and heartening verse to this MICHAEL cut from last year, and the updated Mike verse is also a great touch. On a similarly melancholy tip, Foggieraw tapped Ari Lennox for the chilled-out, ethereal, and lustful “Stay Awhile.”

HNHH Fire Emoji Playlist: Stream

Another Fire Emoji breather comes in the form of a talent-heavy track: Saba, No ID, Jordan Ward, Madison McFerrin, and Ogi’s “head.rap.” It’s another relaxing single that still packs a lyrical punch and shows off a lot of chemistry between all these artists. Gucci Mane’s “TakeDat,” however, is a borderline comical diss track that tries to manifest as little chemistry between Guwop and Sean Combs as possible given the latter’s alleged controversies. Getting into some of this week’s projects, “Mike Jack” with G Herbo and Rob49 is a gritty standout on Skilla Baby’s new album The Coldest.

Meanwhile, AG Club’s new LP BRODIE WORLD offers a lot of fun bangers like “Barry,” so don’t let it fall under your radar. Finally, we wanted to shout out Anycia’s new full-length PRINCESS POP THAT and point you to “THAT’S HARD” with Cash Cobain as an excellent taster. Let us know what your favorite Fire Emoji release was this week, as well as what else we missed, in the comments section down below. Check the playlist out above and log back into HNHH for more outstanding music drops around the clock.

Bun B Drops Off Feature-Packed Project “YOKOZUNA TRILL”

by

Bun B is one of the premier faces of Southern hip-hop. His legacy is firmly stamped in rap lore and will forever be remembered even after he decides to hang it up. He will be/is so easily recognized for his signature gravelly delivery and witty writing. He has tons of classic projects and his influence on the genre is almost unmatched. Over the weekend, Bun B came through with a new short project called YOKOZUNA TRILL.

The UGK member is still keeping up with some of the modern rapper’s outputs, as this is his third album in the last two years. Bun B has recently been working on his Trillstatik series with legendary producer Statik Selektah. Currently, it is up to its third entry, with that one dropping right before the end of the holiday season last year. But Bun wanted to stray away from that and work on a separate project.

Listen To YOKOZUNA TRILL By Bun B

This album appears to be named after famed American-Samoan wrestler Agatupu Rodney Anoaʻi, or Yokozuna. He competed in Japan and most famously America, in the WWF (World Wrestling Federation). He portrayed a sumo wrestling champion from Japan, even though his roots are not from that country, according to Wikipedia. The origin of the album’s title appears to ring true, especially from the silhouette of massive sumo wrestler over a gorgeously painted sunset skyline. It seems Bun B is likening himself to the late dominant icon, and it makes sense. He is a true champion of making Southern hip-hop tracks and YOKOZUNA TRILL is full of gems.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new album YOKOZUNA TRILL by Bun B? Is this one of his better projects as of late, why or why not? Which song did he have the strongest performance on? Who had the best feature appearance on the project? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Bun B. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on around the music world.

50 Cent Confirms That Dr Dre Will Produce Eminem’s New Album

by

The Eminem hype cycle has begun. The rapper has been quiet for nearly four years, but fans are feening for what he has to say on his upcoming album. Not just because he’s been gone for so long, but because the title of the album is, provocatively, The Death of Slim Shady. Em will be closing the book on his iconic alter ego, which means he will be bringing it back to the beginning of his career. 50 Cent popped up in the teaser video for the album to call Slim a “psychopath.” The bigger revelation came on Instagram, though, when the rapper hinted at the album’s production.

50 Cent hopped in the comment section of The Death of Slim Shady teaser to hype up fans even more. He announced that Dr Dre, the man who put both him and Em on, will be producing the album. “This sh*t got some heat on it,” he wrote. “Dre back at it!.” This is music to the ears of Eminem fans, since Dre was crucial in developing the Slim Shady persona. He produced the rapper’s breakout single, “My Name Is,” and served as an executive producer on The Slim Shady LP. He also provided beats and creative input for Em’s subsequent four releases.

Eminem Hasn’t Worked Closely With Dre In Decades

Dr. Dre has continued to work with Eminem over the years, but his involvement has lessened. He only worked on the interludes for the rapper’s most recent album, Music to Be Murdered By. He was nowhere to be found on Kamikaze, and received only an executive producer credit on Revival. 50 makes it sound like Eminem and Dre are linking back up in a more significant way than they have in decades. The two men haven’t lost any respect for each other in this time. If anything, their appreciation for each other’s abilities has grown.

Dr. Dre praised Eminem’s lyricism during a recent appearance on This Life of Mine with James Corden. He went as far as to call Em the greatest rapper of all time. “His imagination is off the charts, and I don’t think anyone would disagree with that,” he noted. “I think he’s the best MC ever. Point blank, period. I don’t think anyone that’s rapping can touch Eminem on that microphone.” It’ll be exciting to see what these two cook up for Slim Shady’s final chapter.

Lil Tecca Tour Partner Tana Drops Solo Album “BANA”

by

A couple of months ago, HNHH had the opportunity to speak with one of the top-flight melodic rappers in the game, Lil Tecca. During his interview with us, he spoke about his upcoming tour and who he would be bringing along with him and why he chose the artists he did. One of them shares a lot of similarities to the Queens, New York multi-hyphenate, in fact. He goes by tana, and he recently dropped his new album BANA.

Tecca said, “Why not bring some people that could you know, people that might not know who they are could hear their music. And it actually makes sense. It’s not like I’m bringing in a boom bap rapper on stage where they’re in front of a bunch of people that won’t like their music, you know, I’m trying to put people in front of people that will like it. So, it’s like a good experience for everybody. And I like their music, too. So that’s why they’re there for real.”

“I just feel like I haven’t done [a personal album] yet and I feel like it was overdue for my fans.” Another cool tidbit from that interview was the story behind the nostalgic childhood photo that is the album’s cover art. “That was one of the images my mom just sent me one day out of nowhere. She actually inspired me to name [the album] that. Because when she sent the picture, I was just like ‘dang’ because I only got a few pictures from my childhood. That was one of the three.” Clearly this album means a lot to Yung Bleu in a lot of ways, so be sure to support the record with the links above.

Skilla Baby Has Goals To Be “The Coldest” On New Album

by

Skilla Baby has quickly become one of the prominent voices out of the gritty, blue-collar city of Detroit. Even though he has been on the grind since 2015, he has been really growing over the last couple of years. With songs like “Gorgeous,” “Bae,” and “Icky Vicky Vibes,” being some of his standouts, the hardcore/trap rapper is looking to expand what he can do as an artist. That is what Skilla Baby was telling AllHipHop in a recent interview about his new tape The Coldest.

“The pressure of being a new artist, being successful, staying disciplined, and still clocking into the studio is very strenuous. But fun at the same time,” Skilla said. That is certainly the mindset of a lot of climbers in the hip-hop industry. It feels like fans nowadays put a lot of the onus on the artist to blow them away.

Chance The Rapper’s Comeback Has Fans Delighted

by

Chance The Rapper released his last studio album in 2019 with The Big Day. The project was met with massive backlash from fans and critics alike who identified its bad lyrics and weird genre fusions as reasons why it falls short of the potential Chance has. He’s released a number of singles since then and appeared on plenty of features but fans have remained morbidly curious about what he would return with when he dropped his next album. He’s been teasing that new album for years now and it finally looks like it could be on the way soon.

Earlier this week Chance shared a snippet of new music. The track is called “Buried Alive” and features a direct focus on rapping and wordplay. In the song he even refutes claims that he’s underachieved and calls out those putting him down. The song has yet to make its way to streaming but that hasn’t stopped fans from digesting it and sharing their thoughts. There’s a variety of opinions circulating around but one thing seems consistent, most people are happy he’s back. Check out some of the opinions fans expressed below.

Fans React To Chance The Rapper’s New Song

DJ Akademiks put together an Instagram post collecting some reactions to the new song. The reactions he shared seem to mostly be pleased. They cite his return to a more rap focused style as a good thing. But the replies to his own post are much more mixed. Some are clearly there just to hate but others have criticisms of his wordy and belabored flows.

But for everyone criticizing the new song there are at least two more praising it. Many are calling it an “old Chance” type song and are delighted to see him return to a familiar style. What do you think of Chance The Rapper’s new, more rap oriented single? Are you looking forward to the release of his album Star Line Gallery later this year? Let us know in the comment section below.
