Quando Rondo Releases “Here For A Reason: In The Darkest Time” EP Amid Legal Troubles

August 19, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Quando Rondo has been having a hard time staying out of trouble with the law throughout his career. Currently, the Savannah, Georgia rapper is awaiting a prison sentence after pleading guilty to his 2023 federal drug trafficking investigation. The charges included of drug conspiracy and participating in criminal street gang activity. His time behind bars will be determined on December 12, according to WTOC 11. He is currently facing a maximum of up to five years. However, it could have been 20 had he not accepted a plea deal in addition to pleading guilty to a lesser charge. That was a conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute and to distribute controlled substances.

While Quando Rondo is out on bond, he is sharing some a new EP, Here for a Reason: In The Darkest Time. Moreover, this is now another instance where he’s dropped material for his fans during his legal dilemmas. “Cash” was the most recent release, but it does not make the cut for Quando Rondo’s Here for a Reason. However, “Gotta Do Better & Pray”, an August 2 single, is on this five-song EP. Throughout the 14-minute listen, Quando Rondo is retelling his rough upbringing, how the police have it out for him and more. He even interpolates the iconic hook from 50 Cent’s “Many Men” on “Could’ve Been Me”. It seems that Quando Rondo is trying to paint himself in a more positive light but listen for yourself with the links below.

Moneybagg Yo Teases A Possible Country Project After Success Of Morgan Wallen Collab

July 1, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Moneybagg Yo is ready to don a cowboy hat and spurs it appears after showing some interest in going full country for a project. This news come from an interview surrounding the success of “WHISKEY WHISKEY” with Billboard at the 2024 BET Awards. For those who are not aware, this song lands on the Memphis rapper’s recent album SPEAK NOW. It sees him work with country star Morgan Wallen, someone who has been doing his own crossing over working with the likes of Lil Durk. These two genres melding together continues to grow more and more common, so seeing this trend is not all that surprising. Overall, it works pretty well, and “WHISKEY WHISKEY” is no exception.

The album cut debuted at number 21 on the Billboard Hot 100 and it is the only song to chart from it. Additionally, Moneybagg’s project is doing well too, sliding into 13th on the Hot 200. But due to him and Morgan Wallen displaying some solid chemistry he sees the vision and would not be opposed to dropping a country album or EP in the near future. The veteran hitmaker also mentioned to the publication that him and Morgan had been texting very often and that the latter was encouraging him to dive into this space.

Moneybagg Yo Is Down To Dabble In Country Music

Furthermore, he has been hearing from a lot of other country mainstays since the release of “WHISKEY WHISKEY”. Yo claims they are down to collaborate, but before that happens, he still has some ideas he wants to tackle first. “After these next two albums I’m fixing to drop before the summer is over, I think after that, going into the winter or something, I think I’m going to do a country album, a country EP or something”, Yo revealed. He did say during the rollout of SPEAK NOW that he was going to drop an R&B tape soon, so clearly it is a great time to be a fan of his right now.

What are your thoughts on Moneybagg Yo having interest in making a country project? Do you think this is something that he should genuinely pursue, why or why not? Have you been messing with “WHISKEY WHISKEY” from his recent album SPEAK NOW? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments.

Rah Swish Teams Up With Rowdy Rebel, Jim Jones, & More On His New Project, “Elevator Music”

May 26, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Rah Swish has returned with a new project in the form of Elevator Music, a 14-track mixtape featuring collaborations with Rowdy Rebel, Jim Jones, Lonny Love, Honey Bxby, and several more artists. It shows Swish diversify his sound more than ever before.

Fans appear to be loving the new music. When Swish announced Elevator Music’s release on Instagram, they shared their excitement in the comments section. “A LOTTA BIG TUNES ON HERE,” one user wrote. Another added: “Needed something for the gym.” Others left behind plenty of fire emojis.

Rah Swish Returns With “Elevator Music”

Swish is perhaps best known for his collaboration with Pop Smoke on “Brush Em” back in 2021. That song peaked at number 1 on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 Billboard chart at the time. It appeared on Smoke’s posthumous album, Faith. Prior to the new album, he most recently released the mixtape 9 Shots in the Ruger in 2023.

Swish recently sat down with Revolt for an interview about the new project, during which he revealed where the idea for the title came from. “I had no name for about two months and was just trying to figure out how to flip elevation,” he said. “The project has a different vibe from myself and a mix of different songs. We’re trying to elevate and go to the top. One day, I was in the hotel pushing a button, and it wasn’t working because I had forgot to tap the key first. That’s when I thought, “Oh s**t, I can’t get up the elevator.” I just put it together and called it Elevator Music.” Elsewhere in the interview, he discussed nearly collaborating on another song with Pop Smoke, possibly working with Cash Cobain in the future, and more. Check out Swish’s latest project on Apple Music and Spotify above. Be on the lookout for further updates on Rah Swish on HotNewHipHop.

EARTHGANG & Spillage Village Deliver 5-Song EP “ROBOPHOBIA”

February 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Back in November 2023, experimentative rap duo EARTHGANG gave us a first look at the type of direction their next project would take. That path is one of funk, soul, R&B, with some of their hip-hop knowledge thrown in for good measure. On Instagram earlier this month they shared this message. “Robophobia is a sonic dive into a new terrain for @EarthGang as we explore new soundscapes and topics on imperfections, connections and projections within humanity’s relationship with each other and AI.” “BLACKLIGHT” was the introductory track for the now-released tape.

EARTHGANG’s ROBOPHOBIA is also a bit of sequel for the Atlanta natives. Back in September of last year, they worked their extended rap collective Spillage Village to bring a five-track EP, RIP Human Art. These two projects do share some commonalities both thematically and curation wise. As for the latter, this latest entry in the EARTHGANG vs The Algorithm series is also five tracks.

Listen To ROBOPHOBIA By EARTHGANG & Spillage Village

For the themes both are centering around technology, imperfections, and our relationship with AI. Which makes sense considering their outlook they mentioned earlier. All in all it is a very solid EP on both the writing and production fronts. It all sounds futuristic, vibey, and fun all at the same time.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new EP, ROBOPHOBIA, by EARTHGANG and Spillage Village? Do you like this sonic direction for the duo, why or why not? Who had the best feature on the record and why? What songs are you gravitating toward the most so far?

The Alchemist Announces “Hall & Nash 2” With Westside Gunn & Conway The Machine

December 25, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Just when we thought Christmas Day couldn’t get any better in 2023, we have a new (and hopefully fantastic) album to look forward to. Moreover, The Alchemist announced that he will be releasing the original version of the Hall & Nash 2 mixtape with Westside Gunn and Conway The Machine. This will continue the prolific run that these artists have been on for years now, but it comes with some historical context. It’s a sequel project to the Griselda rappers’ original tape from around 2015, and this original version will drop exclusively in physical formats (vinyl, cassettes, and CDs) on Friday, December 29 with a new version coming later in 2024. Let’s allow Uncle Al to explain.

“When i first linked with @westsidegunn & @whoisconway the original plan was to do a Hall & Nash 2 tape,” The Alchemist wrote. “From the first day in the lab, i knew i needed these guys on my beats more than they needed my beats. The s**t was coming out cr*zy. They linked with [ScHoolboy Q] one day at my spot and made one. We knew we had something good. While we were finishing the project, they signed their deal with Shady.

“We ended up changing the plan to drop H&N2, & over time used some of the songs for different things,” The Alchemist continued. “But a handful of songs never came out, & the original version of the album was never released. Now for the first time, the OG version of Hall & Nash 2 will be released on vinyl cd and tape. Collectors item for the day ones. FRIDAY. 12 NOON E.S.T. ALCRECORDS.COM. Limited version artwork by @ral_duke . Next year me @daringer_ Wes & Conway already cooking an official HALL & NASH 2. u have been warned.“

Meanwhile, this comes after the legendary producer cosigned Kid Cudi’s idea for a collaborative project. As such, we could be getting a whole lot more greatness from these creatives in 2024, which shouldn’t surprise anyone. After all, they put out too much amazing stuff to expect any less from them.

Conway The Machine & J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League Working On New Project, Erik Ortiz Confirms

October 31, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Conway The Machine is reportedly working on a new album that will be entirely produced by J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League. Member Erik “Rook” Ortiz confirmed the plans during an interview with HipHopDX on Monday.

“We can do it all, we can carry a whole album and we can make it sound phenomenal,” Ortiz began. “Next up for us is Conway The Machine. We’re doing that whole album with Conway. We’re in talks with a lot of other artists right now to do their whole albums. I can’t really say right now, but some really, really cool big names. But you should expect that from us — whole albums, whole projects from J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League and it should be fun, man.”

The comments from Ortiz come after the production duo worked with Jeezy on his upcoming double album, I Might Forgive…But I Don’t Forget. That project is scheduled to drop on Friday, November 3. He added: “And so Jeezy’s is [our] first foray into full-album territory [they’ll be handling one half of the double album]. I think Hit-Boy knocked it out the park with Nas and he set the blueprint, and I’m glad that we can offer up something really cool like this.”

As for Jeezy’s album, Ortiz says it will handle “very mature” subjects. “As you work on the album, y’know, you start talking about life, talking about music, experience and all that,” he said. “So it just became more songs and more songs and more songs, and then one day, [Jeezy] was like, ‘Y’know what? This gon’ be a double album.’ [The album is] very mature. He opens up about a lot of subjects — some things people might be curious about or never even knew about him. It’s very meticulously put together.” The album arrives after the release of Jeezy’s recent memoir, Adversity For Sale: Ya Gotta Believe.
