DJ Whoo Kid Teases Another Diss From Drake: “More Coming Soon”

April 16, 2024 by newhiphopnews

DJ Whoo Kid was the first voice fans heard on Drake’s “Push Ups.” It was a surprising inclusion, but it made perfect sense given Whoo Kid’s affiliation with 50 Cent and the classic rap feuds of the 2000s. He knows how to play the game from the hype man perspective, and that’s exactly what he did for Drake on Instagram. A day after “Push Ups” leaked online, Whoo Kid hopped on the platform to tease more disses from the Canadian superstar.

Whoo Kid didn’t provide fans with any specifics regarding the diss tracks, but he did tell them to get ready. “More coming soon,” he wrote over a screenshot from the comedy film Major Payne. Whoo Kid’s involvement in “Push Ups” makes him a legitimate source of information regarding Drake disses, and the Reddit thread r/Drizzy pointed out that Whoo Kid’s vocals resemble his introductions on the old G-Unit mixtapes. The same mixtapes that established Whoo Kid’s brand and allowed 50 to take shots at dozens of other rappers. As a result, some theorize that Drake will drop a G-Unit style mixtape hosted by Whoo Kid. The operative word here being “theorize.”

Drake certainly has enough enemies to fill up an entire mixtape. He’s currently beefing with Kendrick Lamar, Rick Ross, The Weeknd, Future and Metro Boomin. He took shots at all of them on “Push Ups,” but made it clear that he had more to say. “This ain’t even everything I know, don’t wake the demon up,” he rapped in the second verse. Whoo Kid’s relationship with Drake dates back a decade, but the DJ claims that he never gets personally invested in beefs.

During a 2016 interview with BBC Radio, DJ Whoo Kid said he always made a point of keeping things professional. “Never choose sides,” he asserted. “I been with 50 for a million years [but] I never choose sides. I know the levels of how deep the beef is, so depending on how deep the beef is, it puts a plug on whether I play the [diss] song or not on my show.” It doesn’t sound like there’s a plug on the tracks Whoo Kid and Drake have been cooking up, however. Hopefully the DJ’s claims of “soon” come to fruition.

Wiz Khalifa Claims “Kush & OJ 2” Will Be A “Classic” Like The Original

April 16, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Wiz Khalifa has had a wildly successful career. He’s had pop crossovers and classic singles, but the project that best summarizes his talents is Kush & OJ. The 2010 mixtape was a perfect blend of stoner antics and lavish production, of slick talk and retro glamour. It still sounds great today, which is why Wiz Khalifa fans are leery of the fact that he’s working on a sequel. Nowhere to go but down, right? Well, according to the rapper himself, Kush & OJ 2 will live up to the hype and then some.

Wiz Khalifa hopped on Twitter amidst the diss tracks and AI-generated leaks to hype up his album. The opportune word here is “hype,” as the Pittsburgh superstar claimed to have a classic on his hands. “Kush & OJ 2 is a classic, he wrote. “Can’t wait for y’all to enjoy.” The notion of a “classic” has been on Khalifa’s mind in recent years, especially when he’s been asked to reflect on the original mixtape. The rapper sat down for a retrospective video with MTV in 2015, and he revealed that he fully intended to make Kush & OJ a career-defining release.

Wiz Khalifa Was Initially Hesitant To Make A Sequel

Kush and Orange Juice 2 is a classic.
Can’t wait for y’all to enjoy.

— Taylor Gang World Leader (@wizkhalifa) April 15, 2024

“It’s pretty cool that everybody labels that as my classic,” Khalifa told the outlet. “Cause I put a lot of time and energy into it. To know that it came off exactly how I wanted it to and put me where I wanted to be in my career is really dope.” It seems as though the “Roll Up” rapper is hoping that lightning strikes twice with Kush & OJ 2. If he does indeed manage to pull it off, the album will enter the rare circle of sequels (2001, Tha Carter II, Only Built 4 Cuban Linx, Pt. II) that live up to their precedessors.

Khalifa has made conflicting statements about Kush & OJ 2 in the past. During a 2014 profile with The Fader, the rapper dismissed the notion of making a sequel on the grounds that Kush & OJ was made during a specific time in his life. “You know, at the end of the day, I don’t think I could ever do that again,” he claimed. “Because that was brand new. You could never be brand new all over again.” Times have changed, evidently, and so has the rapper’s mind. Kush & OJ 2 is already being mixed and mastered, so fans will soon get to decide for themselves whether it lives up to the “classic” status its been given.

Drake Reacts To Kendrick Lamar Diss While Fans Debate It’s Authenticity

April 16, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Diss tracks have been leaking left and right. An unfinished version of Drake’s single “Push Ups” leaked hours before the official version on April 13. A few hours later, Rick Ross’ diss, “Champagne Moments,” was previewed on a DJ Akademiks live stream. The trend continued on Monday, April 15, as a leaked snippet of a Kendrick Lamar diss surfaced. The leak was only a minute and a half long, and a certain Aubrey Drake Graham was not impressed with what he heard.

The leak was met with skepticism, as many theorized that the bars on the diss were not up to Lamar’s standard, and therefore generated by AI. Some, however, pushed against this notion and put forth the idea that Lamar’s response was simply bad. OVO Hush was one of these people. OVO Hush, a trusted member of Drake’s camp, posted the alleged Lamar diss on Instagram and a brutal comment. “When you find out this is real,” he warned. “Don’t forget how trash it was as an AI.” Drake then commented on Hush’s post with a single crying emoji. Check out the DJ Akademiks screenshot below.

Drake Laughed At K. Dot’s Leaked Response

Despite widespread attempts to determine the authenticity of the leak, there remains no clear answer. OVO Hush suggests that fans got to hear the first part of an otherwise underwhelming (and real) diss. The same goes for Mal of the New Rory And Mal Podcast, who tweeted: “And that’s definitely not AI.” Others, like Mickey Factz and DJ Dahi, are convinced that the world has not heard a real K. Dot song. Dahi, who has collaborated with Lamar multiple times, went as far as to say that artists need Google authenticators to validate their involvement.

The untitled leak features a booming instrumental and bars aimed at both Drake and J. Cole. Lamar’s flow is less catchy than it was on “Like That,” and the recurring flatline sound integrated into the beat gives the whole song a melodramatic, “I Need A Doctor” by Dr. Dre vibe. Lamar’s camp has not issued any statements regarding the leak. Until they do, fans will have to continue to speculate regarding its authenticity.

Rick Ross Claps Back At Drake On “Champagne Moments”

April 15, 2024 by newhiphopnews

2024 has been a messy year. The cold war between Drake and the rest of the hip-hop world went nuclear after Kendrick Lamar’s “Like That” diss, and since then it’s been open season on the 6 God. Future, Metro Boomin, The Weeknd and ASAP Rocky have all taken aim at Drake, but the rapper that has most hip-hop fans conflicted is Rick Ross. Drake and Ross have made classic records together for over a decade. Ross’ new single, however, makes it clear that they will be enemies from now on.

Ross teased the track “Champagne Moments” during a DJ Akademiks live stream on April 13, but it’s now available on streaming platforms with beefed up drums and artwork with the hashtag “#BBLDrizzy.” The rapper furthered the disrespect by tagging Birdman and OVO Records when he posted the song on Instagram. The beat for “Champagne Moments” is classic Rick Ross, with lush strings and a mafioso vibe that suits the rapper’s husky flow. Ross accuses Drake of ripping off Lil Wayne’s style, and claims the Toronto rapper needed his co-sign to establish credibility.

Rick Ross Rebrands Drake As “BBLDrizzy”

These lines are debatable, especially since Drake has been featured on all of Ross’ biggest hits, but the thing that will keep fans buzzing about “Champagne Moments” is the outro. He claims that Drake got a nose job and cosmetic surgery on his body. Ross also goes after Drake’s perceived “blackness,” or lack their-of, which has been a talking point since Drake blew up. Ross doesn’t body Drake, but he does pick at a few scabs, and the production is solid.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single, “Champagne Moments,” by Rick Ross? Do you think he bested Drake? Do you think Ross’ claims about Drake are true? Will the 6 God issue a response? We want 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 Rick Ross and the rest of this posse cut lineup.

Quotable Lyrics:

Always ran, another n***a had to write your grooves
Flow is copy-and-paste, Weezy gave you the juice
Another white boy at the park wanna hang with the crew
Pulitzer Prize winner switchin’ up like dyed denim
Got incentives for all the killings while we ride rentals
Look me right in my face, he beginning to shake

Tems Reveals When Her Debut Album Will Arrive

April 15, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Ever since she broke through with an appearance on Wizkid’s 2020 song “Essence,” fans have been eagerly awaiting a full-length project from Tems. That anticipating increased even more when she was featured on the Drake and Future hit “WAIT FOR U” in 2022. Now fans who have been patient with the Nigerian singer finally know when they will hear her debut album. While she didn’t announce a specific date, fans surely won’t have to wait long to hear the record.

It revealed both that the album is called BORN IN THE WILD and that it will drop sometime next month.

The tweet also included a video that appears to be a 60 second teaser of an upcoming music video which also teases some new music from the singer. Check out her announcement and the preview of new music below.

Tems’ Debut Album Will Drop Next Month

Last month, Tems made waves for a viral clip that circulated online. In the video, someone photographing her is so stunned by just how good her figure looks in her dress that they audibly comment on it. The video had fans both laughing and agreeing with the reaction after seeing just how good the singer looked.

Earlier this year, Tems also found herself in a short lived twitter beef with ATL Jacob, who worked on production for her Drake and Future collab “WAIT FOR U.” The pair went back and forth over the legitimacy of rumors that she somehow slowed the release of the song by extending the sample clearing process. What do you think of Tems announcing that her long-awaited debut album is dropping next month? Are you looking forward to the release of BORN IN THE WILD? Let us know in the comment section below.

Kendrick Lamar Diss Track Surfaces Online, Immediately Shot Down As AI

April 15, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kendrick Lamar is someone who fans are talking about quite a bit right now. Overall, this is because he was dissed by Drake over the weekend. At the end of the day, fans just want a response. However, there is no guarantee that he will actually say anything. Instead, fans are being left in limbo, and it has led to some premature narratives.

NFR podcast was also able to confirm this thanks to sources close to the matter.

Kendrick Lamar Has No Response…Yet

April 15, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Gunna is an artist who had a major comeback last year. His album a gift & a curse was one of the best albums of the year. Moreover, there were some massive singles on the project, such as “fukumean.” Overall, it was an album that also came with some controversy. Of course, it was his first body of work since being released from jail in the YSL Rico case. Numerous artists assumed he was snitching on Young Thug, which subsequently led to some blackballing him. In fact, artists like Lil Baby continue to refer to him as a rat in new songs.

Despite all of this, Gunna has continued to do his own thing. In 2024, he has previewed a couple of songs, including one with Offset. Now, it seems like an entire album is on the way. We know this because Gunna confirmed as such on his Instagram account, just moments ago. “ONE OF WUN | ALBUM OTW,” he wrote on his Instagram page.

She first unveiled the song late last week, making a splash with a fun accompanying music video.

So far, fans are loving the summer-ready single, and can’t wait to hear more from the Atlanta-born performer.
