Kodak Black Continues His Lengthy “Versatile” Song Series And Announces New Mixtape

November 27, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kodak Black is unconscious! The Pompano Beach, Florida native is already prepping another mixtape, according to his Instagram page and a press release. It’s going to be out this Friday, which he’s hilariously dubbing it “BLACK FRIDAY,” and it’s going to be called TRILL BILL. The project, which is based on one of his nicknames, Kutthroat Bill, will be his third overall tape of 2024. The year began for him with his label’s debut mixtape, Vulture Love Presents: The Last Zombies on Earth. Then, just a few weeks ago, he would deliver his first solo effort, Dieuson Octave, which is titled after his government name. In conjunction with this exciting news, fans are being treated to a Thanksgiving Eve single, “Versatile 4.”

If that song title sound familiar, that’s because this a long-running series within his discography. For those who don’t know, this all began back in 2017 on his Project Baby 2: All Grown Up LP. These tracks are undoubtedly some of the longest in his career, with the first one clocking in at just under seven minutes. The second would land on the deluxe of that aforementioned project and is a whopping 9:42 long. Then, the third would drop about three years ago, coming in at a more listenable 5:36. Overall, these tracks are to showcase Kodak Black’s ability to perform on an extended listen. Depending on how big of a fan you are of his, these might be for you. In that same breath, we can also see why some might overlook release from him like this. Regardless, check out “Versatile 4” with the link below.

Xzibit Stomps On Dem Jointz’s Beat Like Godzilla On “Everywhere I Go”

November 27, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Xzibit isn’t just coming back, he’s looking to take names and blow the competition out of the water. That’s the energy he’s exhibiting on his latest single, “Everywhere I Go.” It’s the third teaser to his upcoming album Kingmaker, which will be out sometime in early 2025. Excitingly, it’s going to be his debut record under Greenback Records, UFC world champion Conor McGregor’s brand-new imprint. X and Bone Thugs-N-Harmony are his only two artists so far, but it’s quite a great way to get the label off the ground.

Prior to dropping “Everywhere I Go,” Xzibit got the rollout started with the grand and episodic “Play This At My Funeral,” which released on October 11. Then, two weeks later, the Detroit rapper would drop off the sequel to “Been a Long Time” with a new guest in Jenn Em. Both of the first two releases were incredibly strong, so how does this newest one fare? To put it simply, it’s another hit. Dem Jointz (Kanye West, Dr. Dre, Eminem) is on the boards, and he brings a rambunctious energy to the track. One element of the beat may sound familiar to fans of the Godzilla franchise, and it may have inspired some of X’s bars on the track, which you can find below. He sounds like the radioactive monster on the record as his presence is once again undeniable.

“Everywhere I Go” – Xzibit & Dem Jointz

Quotable Lyrics:

It’s a twelve gun salute
Cultivation, rotation, pick up my people by the roots (By the roots)
Xzibit bouncin’ with the troops
I shock in the city, like the big homies and call the troops
Motherf***ers running from the truth, I’m Godzilla, god killer, the snipers on the roof (Godzilla)
Hydraulics singin’ like the weekend

Fat Joe Links With Babyface For Sensual Single “I Got You”

November 27, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Joey Crack, aka Fat Joe, is back right before Thanksgiving to drop off a little token of his appreciation for his fans. On the eve of the special holiday, the New York native is here with “I Got You,” a brand-new single featuring longtime R&B act, Babyface. Since July, the “What’s Luv?” MC has delivered a couple of solo releases. There’s the rowdy club banger with frequent collaborator Remy Ma which turned heads thanks to her unhinged verse. Then, there’s the homage to the 90s, “Paradise,” featuring DJ Khaled and Anitta. It’s crisp, summery, and a fun vibe. Now, there’s “I Got You,” which sees Joe playing the role of the provider in a relationship.

The production is maybe the best out of this recent bunch. It’s glitzy, slick, dreamy, and catchy thanks to its background vocals. Babyface bolsters that latter quality with his buttery smooth chorus which echoes Joe’s sentiments of making this woman’s biggest dreams come true. Whether it’s being around other celebrities (like Beyonce), spending a bag at the mall, or traveling, Joe and Babyface got you. Given the release pattern, there’s a solid chance that he’s working on an album behind the scenes. He has yet to formally announce anything yet, but we feel it’s imminent. It’s also been quite a while since Joe’s last album. His last solo album is 2013’s Darkside III. Overall, though, his last LP is his collab tape with Dre, Family Ties. That dropped back in 2019. For now, check out “I Got You” with the YouTube audio link below.

The Lox Still Sound Fresh On “Isley Money”

November 26, 2024 by newhiphopnews

“We got new music we’re working on. Right now, we’re tryna get out by the end of this year.” That was Jadakiss speaking with CBS Mornings in early August about some upcoming material. In particular, he was speaking about The LOX cooking some stuff up in the booth and it had many ready for a comeback. Unfortunately, the New York trio of Kiss, Sheek Louch, and Styles P were not able to fulfill that promise. Lately, though, they have been performing at venues across the country, including a special NPR Tiny Desk appearance which went over extremely well. But it seems that the essential rap group is beginning to get the wheels spinning once again.

Today, The Lox are here with “Isley Money,” their first single together since “Bout S***” back in 2020. They have some features since then, but their full return is hopefully imminent now. This track saw an early release on the EVEN platform, which is a website that encourages fans to support the artist’s work directly. As it stands, an album announcement has not yet been made. But based on that quote we included earlier; there’s a decent chance we get a new LOX LP maybe sometime next year. Despite the long wait between singles the Money, Power & Respect creators are sounding just as hungry and just plain good as they were back in the late 90s. Louch, Styles, and Kiss have always been stellar when it comes to announcing their presence on a track and that’s no different here. The instrumental, cheffed up by VINNYIDOL sounds gritty and soulful thanks to the sampled vocal loop. Check it out below.

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
