Wizkid Drops Off A Rhythmic Vibe With “Kese (Dance)”

November 16, 2024 by newhiphopnews

One of the modern fixtures in African music is back with a new vibe and it’s extremely intoxicating. We are of course talking about Wizkid, who has a new single out this week, “Kese (Dance).” The title is what you will be doing plenty of once you press play on this and it’s more of a loose party anthem compared to its counterpart. That would be “Piece of My Heart” featuring Brent Faiyaz, which is a more multi-faceted listening experience. It’s certainly got some groove to it, but it’s more lowkey and features a break in the action halfway through and becomes an alternative R&B ballad.

Conversely, “Kese (Dance)” is a nonstop Afrobeats bop. On the three minute single, Wizkid is just looking to have a good time and dance the night away. “Blow some trees, make me feel alright / I no fit lie, man, I’m wasted / And I’m feeling reckless,” he effortlessly croons. Both of these are tracks are here for an exciting reason, as Wizkid is getting ready to drop his sixth studio album next Friday, November 22. Morayo, which means “I see joy,” will be his first project since 2022’s More Love, Less Ego. Check out “Kese (Dance)” in the meantime, with the link below.

“Kese (Dance)” – Wizkid

Quotable Lyrics:

So, tell me what you wanna do tonight?
You no the party no go make sense, if we never dey there, we make the party come alive
We turn the O2 to O3, má lọ bé si italawa
So baby, tell me why you wanna
Shake body make you do as you like
Na steady we dey blow the cana

The Kid Laroi & Quavo Want To “Slow It Down” On Their Collab

November 15, 2024 by newhiphopnews

After taking a long hiatus following the release of F*CK LOVE 3+: OVER YOU in 2021, The Kid LAROI came back firing on all cylinders in 2023 with his official debut album. THE FIRST TIME features hits like “NIGHTS LIKE THIS” with some of the deluxe cuts now causing some buzz. “BABY I’M BACK” and “GIRLS” are the ones ringing off at the moment. However, now the youngster from Australia is back in this creative groove, he doesn’t want to slow things down. The Kid LAROI is here this weekend with “SLOW IT DOWN,” a sexier pop rap/pop crossover with former Migo, Quavo. It’s their first collaboration and given their ability to adjust to so many genres, the team-up almost makes too much sense.

The single follows up on “APEROL SPRITZ,” an indirect love letter to pop star and girlfriend, Tate McRae. Given the lack of time in between releases, it seems like LAROI is back in album mode. Genius apparently has the inside scoop, with WATCH THIS! being the supposed title. The “STAY” rapper and singer hasn’t formally announced anything on his socials, but we think this is a real possibility. He’s on a hot streak, so why ruin that? “SLOW IT DOWN” definitely has the potential to be another hit for LAROI with its sticky melody and chorus. Check it out with the link below and see if you agree with our assessment.

“Slow It Down” – The Kid Laroi & Quavo

Quotable Lyrics:

I met you on Monday
F***ed you on Tuesday
Wednesday, tellin’ all your friends I’m your new bae
Thursday, same thing we did on Tuesday
Friday, let me hit that motherf***er my way
Saturday, fly you out one way

Ray Vaughn Finally Announces First Project With TDE And Delivers Isaiah Rashad-Assisted Single “East Chatt”

November 15, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Ray Vaughn is going to help round out what’s been a very strong year for the TDE imprint with an upcoming EP. Not to be greedy or ungrateful, but it’s about damn time! We say that out of excitement though, as the Long Beach, California native has been highly impressive this year. Him, Doechii, and Devin Malik have all been showing that the label is good hands going forward and we ecstatic for what Ray’s going to bring. The extended play will be called The Good, The Bad, & The Dollar Menu, but there’s no release date yet. On top of that, the tracklist remains a mystery as well. However, the latter fact doesn’t surprise us at all because there are a lot of great songs to include on it.

Some of those include collaborations with Pusha T and SiR and terrific solo performances. You can throw “Black Jesus” and “Supposed To Die” into the latter category. According to the press release, The Good, The Bad, & The Dollar Menu is going to be a holistic listening experience. “The EP will showcase the various experiences Ray has encountered through his adolescence, journey as an artist, to his eventual signing with TDE.” While we wait on what should be a personal project, Ray Vaughn is feeding into those themes with his newest offering from it, “EAST CHATT.” It’s another collaborative effort with TDE veteran Isaiah Rashad and a mellow one at that. Rashad kicks the track off with his signature hazy delivery before Vaughn comes in with a passionate verse about his upbringing and successes he’s achieved. You can stream the song below with the music video link.

Lil Nas X Is Moving With A Sense Of Urgency On “Light Again!”

November 15, 2024 by newhiphopnews

You can nitpick Lil Nas X all you want, but if there’s one thing that you can’t deny is his ability to make infectious hits. The Georgia rapper, singer, songwriter, and producer has shown that time and time again with songs like “INDUSTRY BABY,” “MONTERO,” and of course, “Old Town Road.” Even though it’s been a little bit since we have heard from him, he hasn’t lost his Midas touch. We say that because pretty soon, Lil Nas X should be able to add “LIGHT AGAIN!” to that stacked list of chart-toppers. This is one of his singles that will find a home on his upcoming sophomore album, DREAMBOY. The Georgia native has been teasing this new era for a little bit now and it’s inching closer to becoming reality.

Based on the promotion and some of the things that Nas X has said online, it seems like he just wants to find himself again and release the material he wants to. Sure, the expectations are going to remain fierce, but hearing “LIGHT AGAIN!” he sounds eager, urgent, but also more carefree in some ways. “Back ends, booked up, look up / I’m flyin’, yeah, I’m free now, see now / Society’s tie on me released now / F*** crazy, I’m finna go senile,” he raps. The track has a grand presence to it with thumping drums and the overall swelling build-ups throughout. It’s more of an EDM/pop/dance blend, but the hip-hop elements are still there. Nas X looks to be teasing a more explorative sonic direction with DREAMBOY. as well and we are ready for the ride to come.

“Light Again!” – Lil Nas X

Quotable Lyrics:

J. Cole said it’s memes or mills
But I’m the king and the jester though
N****s really wanna wipe me down
I got more patience than a hospital
Swear these n****s rather beef with me
They never beef with life’s obstacles

Lil Baby Wants To Give His Girl Everything And Then Some On “Insecurities”

November 15, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Lil Baby is promising his hungry fans a special run going forward, and that includes a new album. The Quality Control signee and Georgia native did so via a fiery Instagram post, writing, “Ain’t It Crazy How They Tryna Play Me Like I Ain’t The One !!! It’s That Time! I Would Say Again But This Run Will Be Totally Different!! I Had The Darkest Period Of My Life These Last Two Years But I Stayed Down And Overcame That S*** Now I’m Back To Fu*cin S*** Up As Usual…, Sincerely Wham!! WHAM (Who Hard As Me) currently doesn’t have a release date, but Genius is expecting it to be a 2025 project. To formally kick off the rollout, Lil Baby came back today with two singles, “5AM” and “Insecurities.”

In this post, we are focusing on the latter, and this one sees the hitmaker showing his mushier side. He details his strong affection for a woman he’s with. She seems to really be special because Lil Baby’s is willing to shove aside her imperfections. He’s spoiling her with material things, but also with his actions out of the goodness of his heart. Produced by Wheezy, CuBeatz, Klimperboy, KB, Juko, and Macshooter, the track features a nice guitar loop and some pretty piano keys the dance in and out the instrumental. It’s a catchy tune for sure and it’s a solid start for the future album.

“Insecurities” – Lil Baby

Quotable Lyrics:

I provide for you, never lie to you, keep you right out the mix
Baby, you would never be involved
Got me wide open, we been vibin’
A couple insecurities, I even fell in love with all your flaws
You know I’m always workin’, but I answer all your calls
Ain’t no hidden motives, I be doin’ it just because

Lil Baby Prepares For New Album With “5AM”

November 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Fans have been waiting for Lil Baby’s new album for some time now, and recently, they got yet another taste of what’s to come. Early this morning, the Atlanta rapper dropped off his new song fittingly titled “5AM” alongside an accompanying music video. In the Wheezy-produced track, Lil Baby’s signature flow is complemented by a hard-hitting beat. It serves as a solid teaser for his upcoming LP, which he references towards the end of the song. “Even my mama be askin’ me ‘Where is the album? We want it’ / Had to get on my business and tighten up on my mental, I’m coming,” he raps.

Lil Baby’s latest release arrives amid speculation that he’ll be teaming up with Young Thug for a song sometime soon. Earlier this month, the newly free rapper seemingly teased the collab on X. “Real plea deal jack!” his first post-prison tweet read, followed by “Wham let’s drop one on these rats peter.” This prompted a heartfelt response from Lil Baby, who made it clear he was happy to see Young Thug back home.

“I missed you mf !!” he wrote. “Welcome home my brudda! Thank god you able to get back to the fam in good health and spirits! Wish ya none but billions jack! #whateverwhamsaygoes.” Lil Baby went on to preview a new track at the Don’t Fall In Love festival in San Bernardino and was later spotted in the studio with Young Thug, Travis Scott, and Future. “5AM” also arrives amid comparisons to Gunna resulting from the A Gift & a Curse artist’s rumored beef with Young Thug.

Lil Baby Continues To Tease New Album

Quotable Lyrics:

Am I delusional? Keep tellin’ myself that it’s a good
All I know is survival and dollars, I come from the hood
Can’t be fuckin’ with that nothing at all, they couldn’t even if they could

Anycia & Kalan.FrFr Collab For The First Time On “Smoke You Out”

November 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Anycia’s extremely lowkey and unbothered delivery has made her a standout and a name to watch out for. Bursting onto the scene in 2022 with a pair of singles, the Atlanta native really got to see growth in her reach heading into 2024. Her first major co-sign was fellow Georgia peach Latto on the single “BACK OUTSIDE.” It’s a braggadocious banger that still burns for us all these months later and it’s her biggest track to date. After a few more releases, she would go on to drop her debut project PRINCESS POP THAT. It’s essentially a longer version of that Latto collab, as she displays uber levels of confidence.

As we said, her delivery is big reason as to why she’s steadily rising up the ranks. However, there are times where it doesn’t always play in her favor. One of those instances unfortunately is on Anycia’s latest single, “SMOKE YOU OUT.” Sleepier flows in general are ones that tend to be the most hit or miss out there. 21 Savage sometimes suffers from that issue despite his superstar status. For Anycia, she gets a little more grace as she continues to build out her career. However, given how minimal the lyrics, there just isn’t enough oomph on her end. Kalan.FrFr provides the chorus, which sees him croon rather than spit. Overall, “SMOKE YOU OUT” is not Anycia’s best work in our opinion. But there are plenty of others out there that are.

“Smoke You Out” – Anycia & Kalan.FrFr

Quotable Lyrics:

Know you wanna be seen with me
That is not real gas, that is just OG
Car real loud, Trackhawk Jeep
Spacegirl world
Pretty girls get geeked
Eyes real low, make a f*** n**** weak

Gunna Appears To Tease Another Single In Visual For “Him All Along”

November 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Overall, 2024 has been another solid year for Atlanta rapper and crooner, Gunna. Since his involvement in the YSL RICO trial, he’s been doing well to maintain a loyal fanbase amid the relentless “rat” and “snitch” labels. Of course, there’s always going to be some that will hold a grudge, but his streams and standing within the game are still very high. He’s still pulling in well over hundreds of millions of plays on songs, with 37.3 million monthly listeners rallying around him. One of Wun is his latest LP this time around, and once again there remain to be a nice collection of hits. Tracks like “prada dem,” “on one tonight,” and the title cut are arguably the main ones to list. However, Gunna has not been clear of obstacles entirely.

Right now, it seems like Young Thug is turning on his YSL brethren. That’s despite making sure he was one of the few from his crew he could work alongside and remain in communication with. A tweet and delete let us know how Thugger is supposedly really feeling. Wunna still hasn’t broke his silence on their relationship, so we are hoping these two are working things out. However, that could possibly not be the case, as a lot of the themes on One of Wun preached self-growth. Gunna preached more of the same on “HIM ALL ALONG,” his most recent release. “They was tryna stunt my growth, I been steady chasin’ my goals / N****, why you watchin’? I’m grown, n**** can’t take my throne,” he spits melodically on the chorus.

That confidence-boosting single now has a music video to go along with it and it’s a nice fit. Him and producer of the record Turbo are enjoying the finer things in life thanks in part to their hard work. Despite the opulent visuals, Gunna’s also possibly prepping fans for more. After the song concludes, a teaser of a moodier snippet plays as he hops on a private jet. Billboard and fans agree with our speculation and hopefully, it drops soon.

Young Nudy & Pi’erre Bourne Share Another Banger From “Sli’merre 2” With “Get Fu*ked Up”

November 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Young Nudy and Pi’erre Bourne have become a fan-favorite duo over the years. That’s thanks to their inaugural joint tape Sli’merre from 2019. Numerous high-profile guests were enlisted to build some extra anticipation, such as Megan Thee Stallion, Lil Uzi Vert, and more. However, now that listeners are fully bought into their chemistry, its sequel is going to be a little different. Overall, it seems that their synergy is going to be the star of the show on Sli’merre 2. BabyDrill will be the only guest this time through. The collaboration project will be out on Wednesday at midnight, November 13, and it will feature 16 tracks. As it stands, the trap tandem has two singles from it out in “Right Now” and “Get Fu*ked Up” as well.

The former is a very colorful and bouncy vibe, something that Pi’erre Bourne is known to bring to the table. Conversely, “Get Fu*ked Up” is a little bit darker and wavier. That’s thanks to the distorted vocals on the chorus chanting the song’s title. The bass is more resonant on this one too, giving it that more traditional trap feel. Overall, both songs are nice vibes and present what should be an enjoyable listening experience. Hopefully, this will not be the only joint project we hear from Nudy for a while. There are some rumblings that a Metro Boomin-produced tape is in the works. We did get the extreme banger “John Wayne” this summer and it’s one that remains in heavy rotation. But even if we don’t get that, Sli’merre 2 should be tape to tide fans over for years.

Lil Yachty’s Concrete Boys Teammates Draft Day & Dc2trill Link For Ultra Wavy Single “Calling 4 Backup”

November 9, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Lil Yachty has taken so many big steps and leaps over the last year and change. Overall, it’s hard to argue against the fact that they all paid dividends. He went from dropping inconsistent projects to putting out two of his boldest and most colorful statements to date. Let’s Start Here. and his James Blake collab joint Bad Cameo saw him explore new genres and sounds. On top of that, his rapping has greatly improved with efforts like “The Secret Recipe.” However, he’s also become a record label founder in this time, launching Concrete Rekordz and his accompanying posse, Concrete Boys. There was a bump in the road along the way, as KARRAHBOOO departed in ugly fashion. However, Lil Boat still has multiple talents onboard.

Two of them are Draft Day and Dc2trill, and they are continuing to build out their own careers more with “CALLING 4 BACKUP.” This is the former’s release and there’s speculation that he’s dropping a solo tape soon. The last time we got one from the Florida native was in 2019 with the aptly named First Round Pick. However, Genius is also saying that the potential Rookie Season is a collab tape with Dc2trill. Regardless of whether or not we get it, “CALLING 4 BACKUP” is a fun, laid-back, and braggy cut. The druggy slow-mo vocal effects amplify that vibe tenfold, along with the dreamy boom-bap beat.

“Calling 4 Backup” – Draft Day & Dc2trill

Quotable Lyrics:

Swing the door, I see real watchers
He ran out of K, n****, we still poppin’ (Still)
Everywhere we pop out, we show stoppin’
Go one up too fast, n****, die where you stand
I lean too much, I could never take stance
I own my stripes, like the shoes cost stance
