Cuzzin Howie (Johnny Shipes) Collabs With Smoke DZA For Weed Anthem “Jamaica Good”

November 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Previously known as the Cinematic Music Group for years, founder Johnny Shipes (Johnnyshipes) has been taking the label in a different direction. After selling it to Interscope and Geffen back in the summer of 2023 (via Vibe), he decided to kickstart a reimagined version of CMG now referred to as GoodTalk. It was a pretty big deal, especially considering the fact that Shipes signed current hip-hop stars Joey Bada$$, Big K.R.I.T., Nipsey Hussle, and more. But so far, things seem to be working out for the visionary, as his current roster of talent is nothing to sneeze at. That Mexican OT, Cam’ron, Lexa Gates, and returning act, Smoke DZA. The latter was actually one of Shipes’ earliest finds and he’s assisting him with a new single.

After being a manager of talent for years, Shipes has obviously been able to pick up some skills from studio sessions and the like. He’s now applying those talents and releasing music under his “Cuzzin Howie” moniker. This alias is portrayed by an adventurous and troublesome purple dog that is said to have befriended Shipes, according to the label’s website. He has already released one song, that being “Verbals” with MAVI. That dropped back in late October. But this weekend, “Cuzzin Howie” has come back with DZA for “Jamaica Good.” Aptly named, especially because of the feature on the track, it’s a head-nodding and trippy weed jam. Overall, this is a very exciting move for Shipes and the label at large. Given the world building and the character creation, we could be in for a project of sorts, and hopefully soon.

Miguel Delivers One Of His Most Raw Records Yet With “Always Time”

November 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Los Angeles, California singer, songwriter, and producer, Miguel, has become one of R&B’s more elusive faces. Throughout the 2010s, he was dropping records with fair consistency. However, since 2017’s War & Leisure, he’s been a recluse. He’s helped out with other artist’s singles. But solo wise, Miguel has remained pretty silent for the most part. A return could be near though, as he’s been teasing a new album over the last year, Viscera. It’s still very much in limbo, as a release date remains hidden. Potential releases that could make the cut include 2023’s “Give It To Me” and “Number 9” with Lil Yachty.

You could throw “Always Time” in there now as well, which Miguel just dropped this weekend. Over his illustrious and underrated career, the “Sure Thing” artist has proven to be unpredictable. On “Always Time,” he’s wailing over a haunting acoustic instrumental about letting go of a past lover. However, it’s clear that this relationship meant a lot to him. Miguel has spoken very candidly about this single, saying, “This may be the most difficult song I’ve ever had to write — for all of the life lessons and experiences that live between each line,” he began. However, it seems that this song needed to be written, and its ideas had to be spread to release that pent up pain for Miguel. “I’m grateful for the closure it has given me and know it’s the most honest way to begin this chapter of my artistry and relationship with my audience.” Overall, it’s a terrific display of vocal range, rawness, and vulnerability, and this next of his era should be special.

“Always Time” – Miguel

Quotable Lyrics:

Broken glass, piercing words
It change so fast, yeah, it hurts
Rocky past, lessons learned
Don’t say it’s too late, I thought there was always time

Lola Brooke Won’t Be Taken Lightly On “Go To Yo Head”

November 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Lola Brooke wants to make sure every man out there understands she’s got big expectations on “Go To Yo Head.” This is the latest offering from the Brooklyn representative, following up on her previous collab with Jeremih, “No One Else.” Nothing has been made official, but there’s a solid chance that she’s working toward a new album. Given the tone and themes of these last releases, we could be in for more of a love focused record. Multiple genres could be at play as well, which is something that Lola Brooke is known to do. From drill, R&B, and pop/trap rap, she has not been afraid to push herself to new heights.

On “Go To Yo Head,” she’s going back to her MC roots, which is a feisty and rumbling brand of spitting. Here, instead of doing the most for her man, Lola is wanting to be one who’s splurged on. On top of that, she’s letting it be known that she’s not going to be played. In a recent statement, she said, “There’s no room to get big-headed and think for a second that Lola is that girl to be played with. That’s the energy on Go To Yo Head. I’m a step on heads every time if they come for mine.” Overall, it’s another lively and gritty performance from the pint-sized femcee.

“Go To Yo Head” – Lola Brooke

Quotable Lyrics:

B****, get back, I be moving tact
I be talking money, he be throwing racks
He said I’m dramatic, don’t know how to act
N****, if you love me, get my face tatted
Want me to be your lady? Cop me that Mercedes
I be in the latest, BET in Vegas

Lil Tjay Hints At New Music In Latest Single “Let It Go Baby”

November 22, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Over the last five years or so, Lil Tjay has built up quite a loyal fanbase. It’s thanks to his abilities to pen relatable and personal tracks, as well as lowkey sensual jams. The latter of which has produced some of his biggest hits to date such as “Calling My Phone” with 6LACK. Another reason why he’s become such a fixture in the East Coast scene is because of his willingness to drop. If you haven’t been keeping up, Lil Tjay has laid out a trio of singles over the last two months.

Hopefully, this means that an album is on the horizon. It’s been over a year since he dropped 222. He hasn’t announced anything officially yet, however, he may have done so in a song. This weekend, Lil Tjay delivered “Let It Go Baby,” and on the chorus is where he hints at a possible LP. “Been a minute, I ain’t been droppin’, time to go crazy,” he melodically raps on the first line. He’s already been going off lat ely, but maybe this is a sign of even more things to come. Overall, Tjay is sounding solid over the somber keys and minimal beat as he talks about stresses, people trying to bring him down, and more.

“Let It Go Baby” – Lil Tjay

Quotable Lyrics:

Been a minute, I ain’t been droppin’, time to go crazy
When I told ’em, “I really got it,” they were so shady
I been knew I would hit the top and it won’t no “Maybe”
And all this s*** could stop, that’s if you go lazy
Lot on my mind but I’ma always keep goin’
Ain’t wastin’ no time and I think all that s*** showin’

BossMan Dlow Debuts A Different Flow On “The Biggest Pt. 2”

November 22, 2024 by newhiphopnews

BossMan Dlow has been racking up the achievements like the Infinity Stones in 2024. He’s a XXL Freshman, a BET “Best New Artist” nominee, and he’s racked plaques on plaques very early on. He’s accomplished all of this by adopting the off-kilter style of the Florida hip-hop scene with some pretty unique flows. There has been some chatter, however, regarding his approach to each record. There is a saying that goes, “If it ain’t broke don’t fix it.” But hardcore music fans always appreciate when artists take risks and step outside of their comfort zones.

BossMan Dlow is doing that to some extent on his newest release, “The Biggest Pt. 2.” Topically, the Florida rapper isn’t straying away from what he knows. Those focal points include brags, money, women, and violence. However, the changes are coming on the technical side. Dlow is matching the tempo of the beat more on this cut and getting playful at times with his delivery. That’s especially the case on the first verse during the bars that are below. Given the title, “The Biggest Pt. 2” is a sequel track. The first of these songs landed on BossMan’s 2022 debut project, Too Slippery. The “Get In With Me” hitmaker is also apparently in “album mode,” — via his IG Story– so it looks like we got another LP inbound.

“The Biggest Pt. 2” – BossMan Dlow

Quotable Lyrics:

You can’t walk a mile in these new Louis Vuittons (Louis Vuittons)
Anytime the crackers run up, I run (I run)
Anytime the crackers lock me up, I post bond (I post bond)
Ain’t no discussion, p**sy n****, I’m him (I’m him)
I’ma get some money, baby, I ain’t one of them (I ain’t one of them)
Wanna shop with me? Gotta smoke it out the stem

Jack Harlow Swoops By To Say “Hello Miss Johnson” In New Single: Stream

November 21, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Jack Harlow is falling for a girl, and he wants to communicate that in one of the most relatable ways possible: wild neighborhood antics? Moreover, he just released the new single and music video “Hello Miss Johnson,” and as the title suggests, it’s about his love for a partner and how he’s basically asking her mother for her blessing. In the music video, you see a lot of random home security camera footage of some shenanigans in a pretty nice neighborhood, most of which depict the Kentucky rapper doing romantic gestures, rapping to the doorbell camera, or taking his partner home. It’s a pretty creative and quirky set of visuals from the YBN fan, which fits the tone of the track itself.

On “Hello Miss Johnson” Jack Harlow delivers buttery and calm flows over a bossa nova sample with very minimal additional percussion, such as some snaps and muffled kicks here and there. It’s a really nice pallet for the “Lovin On Me” MC, especially as it’s been a while since we heard new music from him. He’s dabbled in more movie fare and also released some sneaker collabs, and we’re happy to say that none of this took away from his musical talent. In fact, this is probably one of this catalog’s best tracks in a while, as its topical charm and simple beat are a treat. Find the song on your preferred streaming service or check out the music video on YouTube below. Down there, you can also find some standout bars and the comments section for you to leave your thoughts on the track.

Jack Harlow’s “Hello Miss Johnson”: Stream & Watch The Music Video

Quotable Lyrics
Your mom called asking when you plan to be home,
It’s been a week or so, longer than you said you’d be gone,
You say you love her, then you ask her what the family’s on,
Before you hang up on her, hand me the phone so I can say

Morray Looks To Make It “Out The Hole” On Motivational New Single

November 18, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Despite the low output, Fayetteville, North Carolina singer and rapper Morray is an exciting talent. Most may remember him from his uplifting feature on J. Cole’s “m y . l i f e” from The Off-Season. However, he’s been on plenty of other major projects like ones from Macklemore, Busta Rhymes, as well on the soundtracks for Creed III and Madden NFL 22. But as we said, the solo catalog remains pretty short, as he has dropped just one album which landed in 2021. Hopefully, though, Morray is working toward ending the drought with “Out The Hole” being a potential sign of that.

This is the EMPIRE affiliate’s third release of the year, with the previous two dropping on YouTube exclusively. Morray is known for his preacher-like voice and inspirational messages. “Out The Hole” provides more of those trademark qualities in addition to his singing and rapping style. Over a southern-style beat, Morray belts out lines about how much he’s improved his life over the years. The chorus is especially an amazing display of his vocal range, as he raps, “From the bottom to the top, a n**** made it out of the motherf***in’ ho-o-ole / Blue car, big crib, this ain’t how I used to live, n****, no-oh-oh / You be actin’ like you n****s know, but you n****s don’t really f***in’ know-oh-oh.” If you’re in the market for some empowerment this song has it in a surplus amount.

“Out The Hole” – Morray

Quotable Lyrics:

Had to learn to be asserted when it come to them bands
N****s be tryna find the exit after gettin’ the grand, it’s big
Loyalty shouldn’t come with no price
But nowadays, n****s wanna ask you for a piece of the pie
But can’t bake they own cake, so I ain’t givin’ up mine
Be Tony Hawk, get on board, n****, learn how to grind (Whoa-oh-oh)

Armani White Unleashes Upbeat Single “TTSO.”

November 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It’s been a few months since fans have heard a new solo track from Armani White. Luckily, however, he returned last week with “TTSO.” The upbeat single features carefree lyrics and a fun, hard-hitting beat. The song arrived alongside a playful accompanying visualizer, in which White dances and raps to the music in a store.

White first teased the new track in an Instagram video early last week, leaving his followers eager to hear more. It’s safe to say that they aren’t disappointed, and based on one of his latest posts, it looks like there could be more on the way. On November 15, he shared the cover art for the single on Instagram and announced that he was embarking on a new era. “The Blue Era officially begins [blue circle emoji],” he captioned the post. “I got a bunch to say right now but i’ll say it over time. I leveled up in the darkness and TTSO. is officially out. Thank you to everyone on the forefront and background who fought to get us back outside. Blanco. : @theshaneramoss.”

The “Billie Eilish” performer has also been posting a series of videos that show him rapping while wrapped in a blue blanket. In the caption for his latest one, which arrived about a week ago, he explains how the current state of the world has inspired him. “I know the world is in a slump right now, but that’s made me feel more comfortable to write these vulnerable pieces,” he wrote. “I’ve been fighting behind the scenes for a year now about music. but I’ve just set my own countdown that if nothing changes — i’m doing it myself.”

Skiifall Gives Us A Lush Portrait Of A “Mystery Man” On New Single: Stream

November 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Skiifall is coming back with a new lover’s rock EP titled Lovers Til I’m Gone, produced entirely by Kenny Beats. The “Yuteman Dennis” rapper, singer, and artist dropped the new summery relationship cut “Mystery Man” to celebrate the announcement, and the project will reportedly drop on January 15. In a statement, the Montreal creative and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines native previewed what he wanted this new direction to look like.

“When I first sat with Kenny Beats, he spoke openly about how wanting to honor his father had inspired him to release solo music that ultimately became his debut album Louie,” Skiifall shared. “That conversation gave me the inspiration and confidence to try making music that my own mother would like listening to, since my earliest music wasn’t something she could relate to.” Of course, on his previous effort Woiiyoie Tapes Vol. 2: Intense City, he already proved he could transcend genre lines and show off his talent with ease.

“Mystery Man” will definitely heat you up in the northern hemisphere as we close out the year, and it’s a very exciting and charismatic direction from the “Fam Without Blood” multi-hyphenate that we’re excited to hear grow. If you haven’t heard Skiifall’s new single yet, you can find it on your preferred streaming service or listen to it via the YouTube visualizer below. Down there, you can also find some notable lines from the record, as well as the comments section for your to leave your thoughts on the song. As always, come back to HNHH for more of the latest amazing releases in music around the clock.

Skiifall’s “Mystery Man”: Stream

Quotable Lyrics
When you rolled up, I would always bring my weed,
We could go up, still you got me on my knees,
Begging you please, to know who took you from me,
But who’s this mystery man?

DDG & Real Boston Richey Hype Their Ladies Up On “What U Bad For”

November 16, 2024 by newhiphopnews

If you have been keeping an eye on DDG’s movement online lately, a lot of it has been related to Halle Bailey. The Michigan native has clearly not been okay since the breakup last month, even saying so himself. On a recent Q&A livestream, the rapper and YouTuber was asked about moving on and seeing someone new. He quickly shut that down, saying, “No, I’m not dating. I haven’t moved on.” Given how fresh it is, it makes a lot of sense. A lot of people have not been the kindest to him since their falling out, assuming he was at fault.

However, on his new single with Real Boston Richey, “WHAT U BAD FOR,” DDG is addressing that very topic, as well as where his mind is at regarding Halle. “Yeah, they cappin’ and s*** on the blogs, they think I’m a bum, but f*** that s*** / I like when they countin’ me out, ’cause I know I’m that n****, I love that s***.” He then adds, “Thing about Halo mommy, you know that’s my baby forever, y’all know that I love that— (Go).” Whether or not this anthem for the baddies was just a vehicle to drop these bars in will remain a mystery. But if it was, it’s certainly doing its job at creating some conversation.

“What U Bad For” – DDG & Real Boston Richey

Quotable Lyrics:

I’m too piped up, no shade, can’t f*** on a b**** that’s whippin’ Hondas
I got a football team of h*es, twelve deep like Travis Hunter
Prolly be single like DDG, I tried to f*** my b**** wit’ a condom
She ain’t goin’ for that
N**** ain’t bought you shit in six months, how the f*** you goin’ for that?
N**** done offered two K for the p**sy, b****, you goin’ for that?
