Playboi Carti Changes Up His Sound Again With Secretive Track “Ur The Moon”

by

Playboi Carti is an artist who is known for neglecting to drop music. Overall, he ends up scrapping releases due to leaks. He may just be the most leaked artist in hip-hop right now. Ultimately, this is why Whole Lotta Red took so long to come out. As for his new album, it remains to be seen when he will drop. Although DJ Akademiks recently revealed the album would come out in January, no one actually knows for sure. However, Carti is definitely getting his fans’ hopes up thanks to a recent string of social media photo dumps.

Over the weekend, Carti surprised by fans by dropping a song and music video on his Finsta. The burner Instagram account is mostly private to fans, and only a few caught a glimpse of the track. Subsequently, a few days later, the video ended up on YouTube, and here we are. The track in question is called “Ur The Moon” and it features that new version of Carti in which he delivers a deep voice. In fact, even the production choice is a bit different for him. One might say there is a heavy hyperpop influence here.

Regardless, Carti does sound great on this song. He weaves through the beat quite nicely, and while this is a change of pace for him, he finds the pocket with ease. It seems like he wants to deviate from the punk-inspired bangers from Whole Lotta Red. Ultimately, this switch-up in sound may not be super interesting for some. However, to others, including his diehard fans, this has been a great new artistic focus. Only time will tell whether or not he stays with this sound. Furthermore, it still remains to be seen whether or not he actually drops his project.

Let us know what you think of this new sound, in the comments section 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 releases.

Talib Kweli Spits Politically-Charges Bars On “War On Christmas”

by

Talib Kweli is an artist who has released some truly incredible music over the years. Overall, he is easily one of the most talented lyricists in the game. He has proven time and time again that he has a lot to say. His lyrics are politically-charged, introspective, and meaningful. Consequently, his fans have always had high expectations for him. They know that he can produce something of quality, and he always delivers. For instance, his most recent album Liberation 2 is a project that is getting consideration for album of the year, and it is well deserved.

With Christmas coming in a couple of weeks from now, Kweli has dropped a new song that is critical of the Holiday. Over the years, many have demonstrated frustration around Christmas. After all, it is a capitalistic Holiday that mostly benefits those who have a lot of money. In this new track, Kweli takes direct aim at this fact. However, he also speaks on the wars going on throughout the world and the exploitation that takes place on the planet. It is a gripping track that offers a poignant analysis that may be uncomfortable for some.

Kanye West & Ty Dolla Sign Remove “Vultures” From Apple Music, Will Host Rave In Las Vegas

by

Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign have a brand-new album coming out very soon called Vultures. However, there has been all sorts of controversy surrounding the album. Overall, it is very easy to see why this would be the case. After all, Ye has gone on numerous Nazi rants as of late. Furthermore, he has been pushing a lot of Nazi imagery and has even made an album cover inspired by Burzum, a Nazi black metal artist. Ye loves this new aesthetic and he will stop at nothing to push it to his mostly gullible fans.

Just a couple of days ago, a pre-save link made its way to Apple Music. This had a lot of fans convinced that the album was actually going to come out. Ye has a history of delaying projects, and this was some sort of sign that maybe he has changed his ways. However, it appears as though Ye has gone back to teasing the fanbase. In the tweet below, you can see that according to NFR Podcast, the pre-save link to Vultures is now gone. Although there is actually some good news afoot.

Kanye West & Ty Dolla Sign Keep The Fans Guessing

It was reported by some Kanye West fan accounts that a Las Vegas Vultures rave was going to take place on Wednesday night. Of course, that would have been last night, and no such footage exists on social media. However, one person asked Yes Julz, who subsequently confirmed that the rave was happening tonight. This means they could be having one final listening party before dropping the album at midnight. Or, they could just be doing one more preview before going back to the drawing board.

Be sure to let us know what you think Ye is going to do, 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 be sure to keep you informed on your favorite artists and all of their upcoming releases.

Quando Rondo Drops Single “Cash” Amid Federal Drug Charges

by

Georgia rapper Quando Rondo is dealing with a lot of outside noise right now. Unfortunately, he could be serving up to two decades worth of prison time. On December 10, the 24-year-old rapper was originally arrested without incident. He was simply a passenger in a vehicle and was the only one in handcuffs by the FBI on federal drug charges.

A couple of days later, we learned more about the situation. Rondo was involved in conspiracy to possess and distribute various drugs. Those substances included marijuana, cocaine, fentanyl, and methamphetamine. The accusations date back to 2021 as well. So, it is safe to say Rondo is not in the best state now, but he did manage to get a track out today to sort of address all of it.

Rowdy Rebel And Skilla Baby Are Balling Like Memphis Basketball Star Ja “Morant”

by

Rowdy Rebel seems to be a pretty patient artist compared to most nowadays. A lot of the rappers who have been in the game as long as he has, tend to drop very frequently. The opposite can be said about Rowdy. Although, he has been picking it up a bit over the past year or so.

He has dropped three projects, with one of them being a collaborative record. This past Friday, December 8, the Brooklyn product came through with one last hoorah before 2024 comes around. Back Outside boasts features from Skilla Baby, Fivio Foreign, Fetty Luciano, and Icewear Vezzo. One track we want to highlight is “Morant.”

Ja does ball on the court and that is what these two want to make sure everyone knows. They know how to flex within the rap game with their achievements and luxuries. You can check out the song and project on all DSPs now.

Riding through Detroit with that old boy, they think I’m Skilla Baby (They think I’m Skilla Baby)
Nodding of the Perc’, but still alert even though I’m lazy
Hitting up my plug, like (Frrt), “Can you put a switch on a three eighty?”(Frrt, frrt, frrt)

Beyonce Officially Releases “BEYONCÉ” Cut “Grown Woman To Streaming 10 Years Later

by

Beyonce is easily one of the most influential artists, period, over the last 20 years or so. The Houston native has been topping the charts and winning people’s hearts for her confident, boss-babe mentality in her music and the same goes for her personality. She is a global icon and deserves her flowers for influencing this generation. One of the ways she was able to do that was because of her 2013 self-titled record.

Ironically, it is the album’s 10-year anniversary today, and she is celebrating the record in a big way. Around the rollout of the LP, there was an accompanying music video for each track, as well as three extra ones. “Grown Woman” got the nod for the visuals, but the actual audio was not included on the initial release. Today, that changed as it is now available on streaming.

According to Uproxx, the song was teased in a Pepsi commercial back in April of 2013. The message it has is a powerful one, as it sees Beyonce talking about growing into her own. That is especially true about her life. Now that she is grown, she feels that can go out and conquer any objective. Go stream the song above.

What are your initial thoughts on this “brand-new” single, “Grown Woman,” by Beyonce? If this landed on the original version of BEYONCÉ, would it be the best song on the album?

Told the world I would paint this town
Now betcha I run this (Ah)

Night Lovell And ZillaKami Feel Their Lives Are Not Worth Living On “LIFE SUCKS SO WE F***”

by

Canadian rapper Night Lovell is a rapper who fits into the mold of blending genres. He likes to mix elements of horrorcore, metal, rock, trap, and emo rap, all into one. That is why it makes sense for him to work with artists who like to experiment similarly. ZillaKami happens to be one of those artists and he lands on this project.

Lovell came through this past weekend with his new album, I HOPE YOU’RE HAPPY. It is a concise tape with just 12 tracks that does not even reach 30 minutes in length. One of the songs that is getting some buzz is “LIFE SUCKS SO WE F***.” It is a song that shows both rappers reflecting on who they want to be.

Another idea it touches on is that female attention. Even though they are enjoying it, presumably in the form of one-night stands or situationships, it brings some self-reflection. In the lyrics provided below, Lovell says, “I control my life, but I know this ain’t what it’s meant to be (Meant).” On the surface, it might sound like a rage track with little to no substance, but the lyrics prove otherwise.

What are your initial thoughts on this new song, “LIFE SUCKS SO WE F***,” by Night Lovell and ZillaKami? Is this the best track from Lovell’s newest record, I HOPE YOU’RE HAPPY? Where does this project rank amongst the rest of his discography for you? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this.

This so fire all my h**s at my damn fingertips (Yeah)
I control my life, but I know this ain’t what it’s meant to be (Meant)
Lookin’ back in time, there was no way that you could tend to me (Tend)
Stand on what I said, I know I can’t bring back yo’ energy (Energy)
Wasted all this time, b****, all that s*** was just a mess to me (A mess)
Wake up, time to cake up (Kk), f*** investigators (‘Gators)

Lil Reese Follows Up “Demon Time” Special Editions With Solo Effort “Ask About Me”

by

Lil Reese has not had the easiest life. Part of the reason for that is due to the fact that some of it was self-inflicted. For example, earlier this year, the Chicago rapper was released from prison after assault charges. Additionally, he faced a misdemeanor charge of aggravated assault against a family member last May. Furthermor, the prison records revealed two more felonies and an additional misdemeanor.

While he is not perfect, Reese is trying to better himself and get back into releasing music. Today, he has returned with a full-length project before the end of the year. Ask About Me is a follow-up to his 2022 tape, Demon Time. Before this new effort, two extra editions of the latter were put out too. One of them was an instrumental version and then a chopped and screwed take on it.

Listen To Ask About Me By Lil Reese And ATG Productions

What these past two projects share in common are the production credits. There is a Detroit up-and-coming beatmaker by the name of ATG Productions. One of the best elements of Reese’s tapes have been the instrumentals. The bassy and grimy trap tinges compliment the rapper’s equally gritty delivery. You can check out the tape above.

What are your initial thoughts on this brand-new album, Ask About Me, by Lil Reese? Which songs are you gravitating toward the most after first listen?

Nicki Minaj Preaches Self-Worth On “Love Me Enough” With Monica And Keyshia Cole

by

Nicki Minaj is taking an extra long victory lap with her latest album release, Pink Friday 2. Even after a few days of the project being out the Queen of New York is giving her Barbz more to chew on. Just yesterday, she put out the first of the D2C versions. These are going to be special editions that include one new track and an alternate cover art.

If you go to her website here you can purchase the digital copy of the D2C edition for a limited time. However, you can still get any of the alternate cover arts on vinyl. It seems that each D2C digital version is available until the next one comes out. For example, yesterday Nicki put out the D2C Version 1 with the remix of “Beep Beep” with 50 Cent. However, that digital copy is not available anymore as Version 2 is now in its place.

Listen To “Love Me Enough” By Nicki Minaj, Monica, And Keyshia Cole

The song that coincides with this unique copy is “Love Me Enough.” It features two of the female R&B powerhouses from the 2000s, Monica and Keyshia Cole. This is the ultimate women empowerment song that urges them to love themselves, even if they are alone. Both singers booming vocals add to the energy the record is giving off and it seems like it could have been one to make the original release of PF2. Also, each of these D2C tracks are only available on Nicki’s website.

What are your initial thoughts on this brand-new song, “Love Me Enough,” by Nicki Minaj, Monica, and Keyshia Cole? Is this the better of the two bonus tracks that have been put out? Do you think this track should have made the final cut of the original version? If so which song should be cut from the tracklist? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this.

Cry your eyes out, get it out, it’s the worst

Kanye West “Vultures” Snippets Have Fans Calling Him “Washed”

by

Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign are about to drop off their new album Vultures. This album is going to be coming out on Friday, December 15th. Overall, it is a project that a lot of fans are excited about. However, there is no telling whether or not it will actually come out. Ye is known and actually notorious for delaying his projects. Having said that, there is a real possibility that he decides not to drop. Instead, he would just work on it some more before releasing the album at a later date.

On Monday night, Kanye took part in a listening party held in Miami. During this event, numerous artists pulled up. The artists included Freddie Gibbs, Lil Baby, and even Kodak Black. There are a lot of massive names on this album, and it remains to be seen how it will all come together. However, based on the snippets from Monday night, some fans are feeling like Ye is out of his depth, and perhaps even out of his mind right now. After all, that Backstreet Boys sample is leaving a bad taste in people’s mouths.

As you can see in the plethora of tweets below, many are calling Kanye West “washed.” Throughout Tuesday, that seemed to be the consensus on social media. While DONDA still had some fresh ideas, Ye is now punching well below he weight. It is a bit disillusioning to see this play out, although this is a common occurrence for many artists. It is next to impossible to be at the top of your game for a prolonged period, and Ye is finding that out the hard way. It remains to be seen if the full album will begin to sway opinions in another direction.
