Jay Exodus & Boldy James Tell Their “Stories & Lessons” On New Single: Stream

March 24, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Buffalo, New York’s own Jay Exodus is making a big impact in the rap game this week with his new single “Stories & Lessons” featuring Boldy James. In it, he reflects on the conflict between maintaining a romantic relationship amid his life in the streets, whereas the “No Fighting” spitter matches this thematic energy by speaking on his bond with his mother. Overall, both verses are pretty melancholic in their lyrical focus and delivery, but it doesn’t take away from the vividness or compelling quality of their titular experiences. While it’s by no means un-treaded territory, they focus on the execution to paint meaningful pictures of their lives.

Furthermore, the beat provides a lush bed of sampled instrumentation for Jay Exodus and the Penalty Of Leadership MC to slide over engagingly. There are a lot of curious and wondrous woodwind elements popping up all throughout “Stories & Lessons,” plus some chimes, ethereal synth pads, and some vocal sampling toward the end. But these are simply additions to the instrumental’s root combination of crisp, warm percussion, watery electric guitar chords, and horn additions. Even though seeing the elements on paper may sound nondescript as far as rap beats go, it matches the tender, conflicted, and moody subject of the song. It’s definitely a case of two good elements coming together to make something greater out of it.

Only thing you wanted from me was to put your love first,

Had to get them n***as, when we seen them, we had caught them lack’

RiTchie Delivers Experimental “Looping” Single Ahead Of Debut LP

March 18, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Former Injury Reserve now By Storm rapper RiTchie continues to embark on his solo career journey with “Looping.” This is now the third single for the Tempe, Arizona native’s debut album Triple Digits [112]. It slated for an April 5 release date, which is about three weeks away. Hip-hop fans were treated to RiTchie’s first-ever solo song of his career about one month ago. “RiTchie Valens” is one heck of a listening experience with auto-tuned background vocals that will transport you to another world. However, this type of unorthodox rapping is something that listeners have come to expect from him, as well as the Injury Reserve group. This was addressed by RiTchie on his Instagram, according to Stereogum.

He talked about how these expectations to deliver left field material were a little “intimidating and defeating” at times. However, RiTchie is continuing to grow more and more comfortable with each drop. “What started as a personal outlet to release these mental barriers, ended up with me having some fun music I felt comfortable, then confident, and now excited to put out there in the world while me and Parker continue to work on the first By Storm record.”

Listen To “Looping” By RiTchie

It is great to hear that from RiTchie because he will soon be taking Triple Digits [112] on a worldwide tour starting in early April. As we mentioned, “Looping” is the third taster from the album with “Dizzy” featuring Amine being the previous release. However, this latest offering may be the most out-there track of them all with a very loose structure that almost comes across as spoken word, rather than rapping. Be sure to check it out above.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single, “Looping,” by RiTchie? What is your favorite element of the song and why? Is this the strongest track so far to preview the debut? Does this get you excited for Lucas’ upcoming album Triple Digits [112]? We would like 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 RiTchie. Finally, stay with us for everything the most informative song posts throughout the week.

March 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Yelawolf is continuing to build up excitement for his upcoming album, War Story, with the release of his second single from the project, “Make You Love Me.” The 44-year-old rapper shared the track as well as an accompanying music video, last Friday.

Fans in the comments section on YouTube were ecstatic about the new release. One fan commented: “Thank you for the new song, YELA! It helps me so much and motivates me when I need to be strong to continue living and writing new songs during the war and sirens every day.” Another fan expressed their excitement for his new album. “I’ve listened to it 4 times already… If this is the theme of ‘War Story’ then I’m absolutely hype… It’s gonna be one hell of follow-up to love story,” they wrote. Check out the new song on YouTube below.

Yelawolf Stars In “Make You Love Me” Music Video

Yelawolf previously discussed his upcoming project and the decision to return to his hip-hop roots during an interview with SPIN in November. “I was just so fueled to rap again. My tank got refilled, so to speak, and it turned out I had a lot to say,” he told the outlet. “I would love to see a place in Hip Hop for me to elevate and to bring the quality of the music and what we’ve put together to the forefront of the mainstream.” Yelawolf added: “I would like for Drake fans, Kendrick Lamar fans, Three 6 Mafia fans, Future fans, XXXTentacion fans — I think it would be rad for me if the younger generation would take a hold of the project.” Prior to the first single from War Story, “Everything,” Yelawolf had been making rock music for a number of years.

War Story is expected to release in May of this year. It’ll be his first studio album since dropping Sometimes Y in 2022. Be on the lookout for further updates on Yelawolf and the upcoming project on HotNewHipHop.

BLP KOSHER Is As Menacing As He Is Mischievous On New Single “Skidoo”: Stream

March 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

When it comes to fast and hard-hitting beats paired with funny and rewind-worthy bars, very few are doing it quite like BLP KOSHER right now. He’s made a great name for himself as a clever and creative lyricist who pairs his cheeky references and sense of humor with a gritty and grounded approach to trap music. The 23-year-old’s most recent effort, “Kold Shoulder” with Lil Crix, came out just last week, and he’s clearly not slowing down at all with his prolific schedule. Moreover, he’s back with “Skidoo,” another banger with a rapid percussion pattern, simple low piano melodies paired with high-note embellishments, and occasionally shifting flows to match his rhymes. It’s definitely a tried and true formula at this point, but this is such a comparatively young career that it’s still fresh and engaging.

Of course, if this is the first time you’ve heard of BLP KOSHER, you’ll quickly get an idea of why that formula got so popular and acclaimed. For example, the “Virgin Ears” rapper is very proud of his Jewish heritage, and his references to that identity make up some of the wittier and more triumphant lyrics here. Another element to his pen is the wordplay itself, which goes beyond the reference points to perk up the ear of any listener interested in language and puns. But it’s clear that the Florida native wants to take his sound to other worlds, too, as he collaborated with Yung Lean on the track “Violent Lullaby.”

BLP KOSHER’s “Skidoo”: Stream & Watch The Music Video

As such, “Skidoo” is an example of him playing to his strengths, and coming back to Earth before venturing off into the unknown again. We’ll see what BLP KOSHER offers fans as a full-length follow-up to Bars Mitzvah in the near future. With this new track in mind, fans should be pretty excited. If you haven’t heard this new single yet, find it on your preferred streaming service and check out the music video above. Find standout bars down below, let us know what you think of it in the comments, and as always, stick around on HNHH for more great music drops around the clock.

Quotable Lyrics
If it’s smoke, I’m bringing hickory, throw it off the dock,
Chopper came with double Ds, I’m trying to motorboat the opps,
Them jits a** and they smoking flakk,
I’m stepping in my bag and I ain’t selling out, check the Birkenstock

Asher Roth Enlists Homeboy Sandman, Heather Grey & lojii For New Single “Heaven”: Stream

March 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Former “frat rapper” Asher Roth has grown a lot since his “I Love College” days, and if you’re just finding that out, you’re in luck. Moreover, he recently came through with an impressive set of flows on the Heather Grey-produced “Heaven,” which is a chill, soft key-led boom-bap beat that harkens back to cold and intimate East Coast nights in city streets. Not only that, but the Philadelphia native also enlisted similarly skilled lyricists in Homeboy Sandman and lojii, who come through with mindful and measured flows and lyrical acrobatics. This follows Roth’s previous work, such as the single “Dimma (Last Chance U).”

However, it’s very much a culture shock for folks who haven’t heard of Asher Roth in a long time, but it’s still time for this part of the narrative to become less crucial to the discussion of cuts like “Heaven.” Lyrically, this cut covers a lot of everyday struggles, slow but steady career-building, and trying to find one’s way to “heaven” despite the obstacles in one’s way. In addition, there are a lot of creative sample chops and variations throughout the beat that keep its freshness and engagement pretty afloat. Sure, it’s not a revolutionary sound or focus, but it’s done with the same sincerity and chilled demeanor that made cuts like “All Add Up” or on H.S.’ “$.”

Cardi B Gets Love From Missy Elliott & Timbaland For “Like What (Freestyle)”

March 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Cardi B’s new single “Like What (Freestyle)” is still making big waves this weekend as one of its biggest releases. It’s a fiery track that samples Missy Elliott and Timbaland’s classic beat off the 1999 single “She’s a B***h,” which appeared on the former’s sophomore Da Real World and was produced by the latter. Moreover, the duo shared excited co-signs on their Instagram Stories when the song dropped, with Timbo writing “Da [crown emoji]” and Missy sharing a post of the song’s cover art with some dancing emojis. Regardless of what fans think of the record, this is the highest praise that a sample-using artists can get.

Of course, Cardi B is far from the first person to use this beat after Missy Elliott and Timbaland. BIA sampled the instrumental for a banger recently, so did Flo Milli with some similarly great verses over it, and it was most famously used by Ski Mask the Slump God for his 2017 cut, “Catch Me Outside.” This song defined the SoundCloud rap generation in our eyes, and its creator took to Twitter to comment on the similarities between “Like What (Freestyle)” and his own work. When fans assumed he said this in a negative or shady way, he quickly clarified that he actually likes the Bronx rapper’s take.

Missy Elliott & Timbaland Reportedly Salute Cardi B

Overall, this excitement and endorsement simply builds up even more hype for Cardi B’s next album. With recent confirmation that a Shakira collab will also show up on it, die-hards are really looking forward to this new direction. It’s been six years since Invasion of Privacy, and although there’s been no shortage of singles and big moments to keep her in the news cycle, there’s a lot more competition these days in the femcee world. As such, it’s do or die time.

Meanwhile, what do you think about “Like What (Freestyle)”? Do you agree with fans’ praise of it or is this legendary duo overrating this release? However you may feel, drop your thoughts in the comments section down below. Also, come back to HNHH for the latest news and more updates on Cardi B, Missy Elliott, and Timbaland.

RiTchie Drops New Single “Dizzy” With Amine Ahead Of His First Solo Album: Stream

February 26, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Nathaniel Ritchie’s part of a lot of the most exciting rap music to come out in the past ten years. Following the passing of group member Groggs in 2020, the Arizona rapper and producer Parker Corey chose to release one more album as the trio Injury Reserve in 2021: By The Time I Get To Phoenix, the best album of the decade so far. Then, they retired the moniker to make music as the By Storm duo in 2023. In addition, he now chose the name RiTchie after previously going by Ritchie With a T to release his debut solo album Triple Digits [112] on April 5. Along with this announcement, the “Double Trio” spitter released the single and music video “Dizzy” with frequent collaborator Aminé, following his debut solo single “RiTchie Valens” a few weeks ago.

Just like that song, RiTchie crafts a really creative, unsurprisingly dizzying, and engaging sample flip with catchy refrains, charismatic delivery, and entrancing percussion. Almost the whole music video is filmed from a first-person perspective as he hits the gym, goes out to a bar, and meets Aminé in the bathroom. Speaking of which, the KAYTRAMINÉ creative is similarly impressive on the mic here, and both MCs provide a nuanced, clever, and critical look at the hip-hop world caring more about image and lifestyle rather than the actual work and craft.

RiTchie’s “Dizzy” With Amine: Watch The Music Video

Overall, it’s amazing to see RiTchie express himself in yet another artistic project, and to have it be as unique and compelling as he’s always been. “What started as a personal outlet to release these mental barriers, ended up with me having some fun music I felt comfortable, then confident, and now excited to put out there in the world while me and Parker continue to work on the first By Storm record,” he shared of this new journey. What did you think of “Dizzy” with Amine? However you may feel, drop your thoughts in the comments section down below and peep some standout bars there, too.

Quotable Lyrics
But it’s simplistic, ‘His parents all rich’ n***a
How many times do we got to sing this song?
That ‘We don’t want to hear that weak s**t no more’?
And this ain’t just a case of ‘To each his own’
