Lil Wayne Breaks Silence On Kendrick Lamar’s “Wacced Out Murals” Reference

December 16, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The Lil Wayne and Kendrick Lamar conflict has been a fascinating addendum to the Drake and Lamar battle. Lamar has made it clear that he does not respect the 6 God in any regard. Lil Wayne, on the other hand, is someone he grew up listening to. He even rapped about the irony of letting Weezy down on the first song of his new album, GNX. Fans have gone back and forth as to whether the reference was meant to be a diss towards Wayne or a tacit acknowledgment of the fact that he will be playing the Super Bowl Halftime Show in Lil Wayne’s hometown. Well, Weezy has finally given his two cents on the matter.

Lil Wayne went on The Skip Bayless Show to explain what transpired between him and Kendrick Lamar. He absolved the Compton rapper of any fault in the upcoming Super Bowl Halftime Show. He did not feel slighted by the fact that Dot referenced him by name on “wacced out murals.” “Used to bump Tha Carter III, I held my Rollie chain proud,” Lamar spits. “Irony, I think my hard work let Lil Wayne down.” Lil Wayne clarified that he had not actually heard the song prior to the Bayless interview. Upon having the lyrics read to him, however, he took it as a sign of mutual respect.

“He’s a fan like I’m a fan,” the rapper stated. “He saw like everybody else, he saw how much it meant to me. I think that’s all he mean.” Lil Wayne went to say that he understood what Lamar meant, especially with regard to his hard work. “I understand those words,” Weezy assured the host. “He made it there… His hard work is the reason he made it there.” Wayne’s good faith read of the song makes a lot of sense given that Kendrick Lamar dubbed him the “greatest” in a 2022 interview with The Coveteur.

The Compton rapper, who worked with Wayne on 2018’s “Mona Lisa,” told the outlet that Weezy’s impact on hip hop culture is immeasurable. “We was just huge, still to this day, huge Lil Wayne fans,” he explained. “Lil Wayne is the greatest. Not only because of his music but also because of the culture he put behind it. It was a big part of what he was talking about, so we always hold Wayne in high regards.” Wayne responded to the interview by calling Lamar a “real one” on Twitter.

ASAP Twelvyy Finishes Off The Year Strong With “Ain’t Gon Cry”

December 15, 2024 by newhiphopnews

ASAP Twelvyy is closing his year with a bang, recently unveiling his new track “Ain’t Gon Cry.” He dropped the mellow song last week alongside a cinematic accompanying music video. “ENDING THE YEAR LIKE I STARTED IT .. IN MY BAGGER VANCE NOTHING CAN STOP ME AIN’T GON CRY OUT NOW. RUN IT UP. MUCH LOVE TO MY TEAM SQUAD FANS FAMILY AND EVERY ONE PUSHING THE MOVEMENT.. THANK YOU,” he wrote of the song on Instagram.

The track itself boasts a laid-back beat and insightful bars. It follows the release of his single “Millennium Puzzle,” which he dropped late last month. It also follows the release of various other singles he shared throughout 2024 including “Verrazzano Vision,” “Bronx Zoo,” “Checkpoint Charlie,” and more. This latest release has fans demanding another full-length project from the NYC rapper, though at the time of writing, it remains unclear whether or not he has anything in the works. “Best song out right now,” one YouTube commenter writes. “It’s just too gooooood,” another says.

Twelvyy’s last full-length release, Kid$ Gotta Eat, arrived in July of 2023. Roughly a year ago, he dropped a deluxe edition of the project featuring the likes of Rome Streetz, ASAP Nast, ASAP Ant, and more. Following the release of the deluxe edition of the album, he went on a mini-tour across the United States in support of it. This included his first-ever headlining show in New York City at Sony Hall, for which he was joined by Rome Streetz, Teewhy G, and 27Delly in May.

Always runnin’ to the bank it’s hard to stay still

Mario Brings The 2000s Back On Our New “R&B Season” Playlist Update

December 15, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Every year, while everyone’s cooking up their best music of the year lists (which we’re coming soon with!) in November and December, the music industry seems to slow down a little bit. While there aren’t that many massive releases to talk about most of the time, we have to give our thankful props to the artists that hold it down while everyone’s busy during the holidays. Moreover, our latest R&B Season playlist update is here to round up the best of the best that the genre had to offer this week as far as new releases. It’s pretty scant, but then again, it’s never a bad time for your favorite artists to drop.

First off, we wanted to shout out Mario for taking it all the way back to 2000s R&B with his new album, Glad You Came. He dropped off a couple of hot singles for it before, and we’re happy to say that new cuts like “Keep Going (Aaaaahhhhh)” live up to that hype. That cut in particular is a slow burner, so we’d highly recommend it if you want a sultry, passionate, and relaxing teaser.

HNHH R&B Season Playlist

Speaking of sensual and slow-riding R&B jams, we also wanted to highlight the new single from Ne-Yo, “Show Me.” This one isn’t quite as woozy, as it focuses melodically on some muted string work as opposed to more dreamy or psychedelic synths that the genre so often benefits from these days. It’s as lustful as any classic hit from the Arkansas native, with his trademark falsetto stacking up very nicely against some airy vocal harmonies. In addition, there’s also some slight variation in the vocal tones and delivery that switch things up for some more verse structure.

We’re sure we missed some other notable R&B drops this week, but maybe you’re looking for some more exciting or energetic fare. Our Fire Emoji playlist update this week took a stroll through hip-hop’s latest releases, the leader of which was easily Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre’s new comeback collab album, Missionary. It’s full of vibrant and funky instrumentation, so even if rap isn’t your thing, it’s worth a spin.

Snoop Dogg & Dr. Dre Are Back In Business On Our New “Fire Emoji” Playlist Update

December 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Even though the year is winding down as far as new music releases, we still have some killer picks to round up this week on our latest Fire Emoji playlist update. Of course, we need to start off with Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre’s grand return via their new collab album Missionary, which shows off a lot of classic sounds and modernized efforts. A clear standout is “Gunz N Smoke” featuring Eminem and 50 Cent, which has more of a trap swing to it bolstered by crisp percussion. As you can imagine with a song with all these rappers on it, the flows and charisma on here is quite palpable.

Next up on Fire Emoji is the chilling new Offset single “Swing My Way,” produced by Turbo and boasting some psychedelic and icy synth keys. When it comes to flow and performance, the former Migo is as smooth as ever, even if there’s nothing on here that will surprise you lyrically. But that doesn’t mean that you won’t walk away from this track with anything, as the chorus is solidly catchy and it’s an overall hypnotizing tune.

HNHH Fire Emoji Playlist

On a similarly woozy and trippy note, we have producer BNYX and Lil Yachty’s latest collaboration, “SMOKING IN THE RAIN.” Compared to some other material from the beatmaker, this isn’t as outwardly aggressive, but the resonant bass hits and ear-candy tones go a long way to highlight Yachty’s eccentric performance. His flows and refrains are intoxicating, especially as he continues to perfect his more breathy and ethereal vocal tone for these kinds of tracks. It’s one of the more addictive and sweet additions to Fire Emoji this week.

Finally, we’re wrapping up this Fire Emoji with BossMan Dlow’s new album Dlow Curry, which is unsurprisingly filled to the brim with banger after banger. In particular, if you’re looking for a representative taster to clue you in, we’d recommend the grimy and minimal “Like Dat.” The snares are relentless on this cut, some horns come in to add some drama to the verses, and Dlow never loses his sense of fun and focus on here.

6ix9ine Immediately Records New Music After Getting Out Of Jail

December 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

6ix9ine just got out of jail for violating his probation terms, and he apparently wasted no time in getting himself back on track. Moreover, a clip recently surfaced of some new music, which he apparently recorded just minutes after getting out of prison. The actual timeline around all these events – as well as whether or not this new material will even officially drop – is still pretty unclear, but it seems like the New York artist wants to return to the recording industry quite quickly. For those unaware, he signed quite the massive deal with Kartel Records before this recent stint behind bars, but his actual future as a recording artist might be in jeopardy.

Furthermore, 6ix9ine’s new probation terms include orders for him to get a clean and full-time job, and it’s unclear whether the court will accept “recording artist” as a sufficient profession. After all, that very same notoriety, access, and success in the music industry is what exacerbated and publicized much of his legal trouble over the years. Maybe a more specific ruling down the line will clarify this debacle.

6ix9ine Returns From Jail With New Music

A post shared by DJ Akademiks (@akademiks)

Elsewhere, 6ix9ine’s most recent prison stint also drew headlines for some bizarre reasons tied to much larger and more pressing pop culture stories. He served time at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, the same institution from which Diddy awaits updates in his federal trial for alleged sex trafficking. Authorities ordered that these two individuals had to stay isolated from each other, presumably to minimize the attention that they would generate and receive as celebrity inmates. Sometimes, these assignments and decisions can come from a more random place. But we’re willing to bet that the MDC in Brooklyn put more thought into this… Maybe.

Regardless, 6ix9ine had previously pledged to stay “squeaky clean” before this arrest, so maybe Kartel Music is second-guessing themselves right now. For that reason, we have to wait and see whether or not this new music actually comes out in one way or another and how it will tie into his legal troubles. It’s been a long and exhausting saga so far that doesn’t seem to have lost its gas.

Polo G Shows Sensitive Side With New Single “Thug Memorials”

December 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Polo G has been through a lot. You can hear it in his voice, you can decipher it in his lyrics. He doesn’t attempt to hide his experiences, which is why fans connect with him so deeply. The rapper was caught up in legal troubles as recently as this week. Polo G’s music has always been where he excels, though, and “Thug Memorials” is the latest testament. The single sees the rapper wax poetic on those he’s lost over the years, courtesy of a classic R. Kelly sample.

Polo G delves right in with the first voice. The rapper details how much emotional pain he felt when he attended a friend’s funeral. The description of the scene is heartbreaking, and the musical backdrop embellishes it even further. “I was so lost for words, couldn’t even cry up at your funeral,” Polo G spits. “I come from that corner where the hustlers trap and shooters shoot. Straight-eights and Scat Packs, they ain’t slidin’ in no Subaru.” It’s an economic couplet, conveying not only the loss but sense of belonging that has afflicted both him and his late friends. “Thug Memorials” is Polo G at his most sincere, and therefore his finest.

Let us know what you think of this brand-new track, in the comments section down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will continue to keep you informed on all of your favorite artists and their upcoming projects.

Polo G Delves Into The Loss Of A Close Friend

Quotable Lyrics:

Steppin’ like a marchin’ band, might hit they block with nine drums
Took a lot of losses right where me and all my guys hung
Opps talkin’ sh*t, that left my pride stung, uh

Paul Wall Returns With Crowd-Pleasing Album “Once Upon A Grind”

December 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Paul Wall is a remnant of the 2000s. He had his biggest hits during the ringtone era, and some of said hits sound painfully dated. Yes, we mean “Ms. New Booty.” Paul Wall has quietly been turning out great music since his commercial peak, however. He absolutely stole the show on That Mexican OT’s “Johnny Dang,” and now the Houston legend is back with a new album of his own. Once Upon a Grind is not the kind of release that’s going to draw in new fans. But for those in the know, it’s a reminder of how good the people’s champ still is on the mic.

Once Upon a Grind a concise, 12 track album loaded with exemplary features and stellar DJ. Fresh beats. Paul Wall and Fresh may not be an obvious pairing on paper, but they prove to have musical chemistry on nearly every song. “Woke Up a Millionaire,” the opener, is a chilled out opener that allows Wall to look on all his success. The rapper is a little older and grayer, but he hasn’t lost a step when it comes to flossing on his haters. “Platinum Playa” and “Way 2 Wet” see him absolutely slide over slick Fresh instrumentals that sound like Houston at night. Paul Wall sticks to the topics that made him famous, but few are better than him at romanticizing riding slow and cars with candy paint.

Let us know what you think of this brand new album, in the comments section down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will continue to keep you informed on all of your favorite artists and their upcoming projects.

Rio Da Yung Og Drops A Minimal Banger With “RIO FREE” Single

December 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Rio Da Yung Og is not an artist with a tremendous amount of range. He doesn’t genre hop or push boundaries by any means. He makes hard-hitting trap music and he does it well. Rio Da Yung Og is precisely what you think he is, and when he hits, he hits hard. “RIO FREE” is a prime example. The new song is short, simple and extremely catchy. It sees the rapper hop on a trunk-knocking instrumental and spit bars about how great he is. It’s easy to get caught up in the fun.

Rio Da Yung Og’s bars are fun if not especially profound. They have a specificity to them that helps them to stand out from the bars written by Rio’s peers. “He used to be the brick man, he doin’ burpees now, I ain’t never cook the dope, C learned me how,” he spits. “I wake up and go get me some chicken like Thursday chow.” There’s personality bleeding through the speakers. The instrumental isn’t anything that fans haven’t heard before, but the Wayne beat is solid and consistent. Rio Da Yung Og is not reinventing the wheel here, but he’s giving fans a very entertaining wheel.

Rio Da Yung Og Gives Fans Exactly What They Want

Quotable Lyrics:

Why would I buy a Hellcat and I got Brabus money?
I told bro go to Flint and get a coffin for me
He came back with a four of Act’, it started talkin’ to me
We got Pai, Quagen, Tris, and some green poured

Playboi Carti Teases New Collaborations With Mustard And Lil Baby

December 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Playboi Carti is really toying with fans at this point. The rapper and stopped and started the rollout for his new album so many times its hard to keep count. It seemed like I AM MUSIC was going to come out once he dropped the lead single, “ALL RED,” but fans have remained in the dark when it comes to a tracklist or a release date. The last week has seen Playboi Carti drop hints as to what the album could have in store, though. The rapper not only dropped a song snippet, but screenshots of text conversations between him and other superstar artists.

Playboi Carti posted the text screenshots to his social media on December 15. They saw him reach out to the likes of Lil Baby and Mustard for collaborations. The first screenshot appears to be an exchange with Lil Baby’s manager, Cash XO. The manager texted Playboi Carti to confirm new music between the stars. “Wham,” he wrote. “Carti lock each other in family!” Carti texted back: “Yes sir.” These two linking up has worked wonders in the past, as evidenced by the track “Too Easy.” They’ve yet to come together for a hit record, though, which makes the prospect of them back together especially exciting.

Playboi Carti Previously Claimed No Features On His Album

Playboi Carti and Mustard is an extremely unexpected connection. The two artists could not be further apart in terms of style and musical approach. Carti is all pockets and rage rap outbursts. Mustard, on the other hand, is smooth, G-Funk influenced gangsta rap. Nevertheless, Mustard sees the vision, and made a point of reaching out to the “ALL RED” rapper. “Man let’s cook twin,” he messaged Carti via Instagram. Playboi Carti didn’t show his response, but he did post a screenshot of the message on his IG Stories.

BossMan Dlow Looks To Shoot The Lights Out On The Competition With “Dlow Curry”

December 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

“BossMan Dlow’s got the ball down two with five seconds on the clock. He looks to pull up from three with confidence… and he drains it as time as expires!” That’s the kind of energy that the Florida rapper is on with his debut album, Dlow Curry. He’s been on a heater all year long thanks to some viral singles, XXL Freshman spot, and his Mr Beat The Road mixtape. Now, he’s looking to put his contemporaries to bed with this 20-song effort. Across it, BossMan Dlow is bringing his trademark braggadocious attitude and a prideful mindset.

It starts right at the beginning with “Dlow Curry,” the title track named after Stephen Curry. He’s ego is absolutely massive later down the tracklist though too. “Pillsbury Dlow” with Ice Spice, “Dlow Flintstone,” and “Dlow Gucci,” all contribute to how he feels about himself. He’s clearly got big goals, and like the future Hall-of-Fame point guard, he’s determined to reach the top. We have an article coming soon about the five budding superstars going into 2025 and beyond, and spoiler alert, BossMan is on there. With arguably more hits than his last record and a more diverse flow and beat palette, he’s taking those necessary steps to become one of the faces of the rap league just like Curry is in the NBA.

Dlow Curry – BossMan Dlow

Dlow Curry

Pillsbury Dlow (feat. Ice Spice)
