Real Boston Richey Reminds Us It’s “On Site” In His Latest Single

by

It’s rare to find an artist who’s willing to give their fans new music this close to Christmas. However, Real Boston Richey was hustling well into the holidays this year. His “On Site” single landed on Friday (December 23) for your streaming pleasure.

Previously in 2022, we’ve heard the Florida native flex on “2 Million Up” with Peezy, Jeezy, and Rob49. Prior to that, he delivered his Public Housing project in August. The album is complete with features from the likes of Future, Moneybagg Yo, Kodak Black, and Lil Durk.

Hendrix appears on two titles – “Bullseye 2” and “I Want You,” while Yak is joined by Lil Crix on “Navy Seals.” Afterward, Durkio shines during his verse on “Keep Dissing 2,” which has been streamed over 10 million times on Spotify alone.

“On Site” finds Richey operating solo – something he’s no stranger to. “I been out here screaming, “F*ck you, pay me” / I been moving right, ain’t moving shady,” he rhymes on the fast-paced song.

Following the track’s arrival earlier this weekend, the rapper took to Instagram to promote his work. “New song just dropped,” he wrote. “‘On Site’ video drop later today, deluxe OTW.”

Though the accompanying visual has yet to land on YouTube, if RBR stays true to his word, we could be hearing the expanded cut of Public Housing sometime in the new year.

Stream Real Boston Richey’s “On Site” single on Spotify or Apple Music below. Additionally, make sure to check back later for our annual Christmas playlist to cover all your holiday listening needs.

Quotable Lyrics:

I been out here screaming, “F*ck you, pay me”
I been moving right, ain’t moving shady
If it ain’t you, I use a rubber, I play it safe
If it ain’t you, I use a rubber, I play it safely

Kota The Friend Returns With A Message On New Single: “I’m Really It Bitch”

by

Kota the Friend wasn’t shy about sharing new music this year. In the summer, his MEMO album arrived, boasting appearances from friends like Brianna Castro, Hello O’shay, and Samuellimàta.

Since then, he’s appeared on “Pretend” with pluko, as well as on the Subtract Remix of “Let You Drown” alongside KingTrey. Most recently, we heard another collaboration from him and O’shay on “Red Lights” back in November.

Now, the 30-year-old has one last song to sing before we close out 2022. Earlier this week, he delivered “I’m It,” on which he boldly asserts himself as someone who’s spiritually sound and trusting their own path and instincts.

“Got a money tree and I water it on the daily / Trust my intuition, I go wherever it take me,” the New Yorker rhymes. Following that he adds, “Polarizing n*gga, you finna love me or hate me / I don’t give a f*ck either way tho, ‘cuz baby / I’m it, I’m it, I’m it, I’m really it bitch.”

On his Instagram page, promotion for the new single has been minimal. However, K did reveal via his Instagram Story that he has exciting plans to launch a production company in 2023.

Quotable Lyrics:

Got a money tree and I water it on the daily
Trust my intuition, I go wherever it take me
Polarizing n*gga, you finna love me or hate me
I don’t give a f*ck either way tho, ‘cuz baby
I’m it, I’m it, I’m it, I’m really it bitch

Fetty Wap Drops “Sweet Yamz” Remix With Ronald Isley & Charlie Wilson

by

One of the year’s last big viral hits has gotten yet another remix. Fetty Wap recruited soul legend Ronald Isley and Charlie Wilson for another remix of “Sweet Yamz.” While the last one featured Wiz Khalifa, this one is supercharged with incredible soul harmonies and vocal runs. Moreover, having such superstars on the remix helps accentuate the song’s vintage tone and instrumentation. It sounds like an ’80s-tinged soul track with some impassioned ad-libs here and there to give it extra energy.

These new versions of “Sweet Yamz” definitely feed into that positivity. It’s a lustful, urgent, yet charming and fun song whose vitality is no surprise. Moreover, the chorus melody is incredibly catchy, and the lyrics are simple enough to get stuck in your head. Meanwhile, the sheer vocal power on display on this song is quite impressive. The Jersey rapper switches between high and low registers with ease, and his potent voice conveys a lot of emotion. Also, this is his first solo material since 2021’s “First Day Out.”

Although Wap does great here, Wilson’s dominant screams and runs elevate the chorus. In addition, he gets cheeky in his verses, with some food references to convey his hunger for his partner. However, Ronald Isley steals the show at the very end, partly because he sounds eerily similar to Don Toliver (or rather, Don sounds like Isley). His higher register makes for a more animated performances, and his food references are even funnier and more outlandish.

Additionally, these hot songs come amid a tough legal battle for Fetty Wap as he’s incarcerated on drug charges. Last October, he spoke from jail and said that he was keeping his head high despite the controversy.

What did you think of this remix? How does it stack up to the original? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments down below. If you’ve still yet to check it out, you can find “Sweet Yamz (Remix)” with Fetty Wap, Ronald Isley, and Charlie Wilson on your preferred streaming service. Also, check out some notable lyrics below and stay tuned to HNHH for the latest hot remixes.

Quotable Lyrics

The yams are all I know (I know but)
Or was it just a distraction?
I see myself in your eyes, baby
Can I get to the yams?

2G.Kaash Taps Kodak Black For “Pushin For Love”

by

2G.Kaash just recruited Kodak Black for a new single titled “Pushin for Love,” and they demonstrate great chemistry. Yak signed the Dallas, Texas rapper last February to his Sniper Gang label, in partnership with Atlantic Records. While the Florida rapper has been criticized for signing “crash dummies” to his label, we hope that such accusations don’t turn true for Kaash. It would be a waste of the talent and chemistry on display on this track.

Previously, Kaash released “Walk Down” when he beat a murder charge in May of last year. Moreover, the controversy around his case tacked with new music grew some buzz around his profile. Since then, he’s kept it low-key with a couple of singles and features. Now, it seems he’s gearing up for bigger and better things with his label boss by his side.

However, that’s not to say that Kaash doesn’t come through with a lot of personality, character, and identity on this track. In fact, his passionate singing and introspective lyrics might remind listeners of some of Juice WRLD’s material. Although the vocal tones are similar, the production is more inspired by the melodic, emotive street rap making waves today. Also, it’s a space that Kodak Black himself does very well in on the single, in contrast to recent verses. Moreover, songs like Doodie Loo’s murderous “ISTG, Pt. 2” pair nicely with “Pushin for Love” to show Yak’s range.

Quotable Lyrics

A’s gone, I feel his blood on my hand, I had my

I get high in the sky and I hope this plane never land

Chicago’s PGF Nuk Ends 2022 With His “Sko” Single

by

December started on a high note for 20-year-old PGF Nuk. Firstly, a prestigious gold plaque for his “Waddup” song came his way. Now, the Chicago native is following that up with an exciting new release called “Sko,” which landed on DSPs earlier this week.

The single features “pianos packed with drama, a thundering baseline, and strings that could be scored for a ‘Mission Impossible’ movie,” as a press release points out. Over the infectious beat, the rising rapper chiefly makes his voice heard.

“Unlock the car (Car) Jump out on their ass (Jump) / They runnin’ real fast, foenem thumpin’ at their ass,” he quickly rhymes on the hook. “Tryna catch a opp and break his ass like glass / We treat the streets like school, you just gon’ die without no pass.”

On his first verse, Nuk paints a vivid picture for listeners with his lyrics. “Bitch we in the trenches, real wild, it get vicious, uh / Four shooters and ’em switches, shootin’ crowds, it get wicked, uh.”

While he’s ending the year on a high note, the young rapper has been dropping bangers steadily throughout 2022. Recent arrivals from him include an appearance on Shift One’s “Choppas and Suburbans” as well as his own “Last Week.”

Additionally, he and Icewear Vezzo show out on “Shut Up.” Then in late October, he gave us “Reel Em In.”

Quotable Lyrics:

They know I’m down to ride, I’m ready to slide and I’m on go
Um, when I pulled down my mask, grab the 9 and I’m gon’ blow
Play with me when I’m on stage, you gon’ die up at the show
They know that I’m a walkin’ bucket, we playing ball then I’m gon’ score

Asian Doll Follows Vydia Partnership With “Sky Falling” Single

by

In the summer, Asian Doll caught our attention with her Let’s Do A Drill album. The 21-track project boasts features from Bandmanrill, 2rare, Iffy Foreign, as well as Tay Money, among others. Since then, she’s been busy with a handful of singles like “Prettiest Problem” and “Come Outside.” Additionally, she’s also shared “Childs Play” with Dee Billz and TaTa.

Before the year closes out, the Dallas-born lyricist has one last song for fans. Along with that comes the exciting announcement of an EP dropping in the new year. On her “Sky Falling” track, Asian lets the world know what’s coming next from her.

The nearly two-and-a-half-minute-long song marks the beginning of the 26-year-old’s collaboration with Vydia. The music tech company will be providing her with “a suite of services.”

Among them are “video and audio supply chain, global distribution, analytics, rights management, payments, and detailed revenue reporting in support of her upcoming EP release.”

Throughout “Sky Falling,” Asian Doll specifically reflects on the ups and downs of her personal life. Even with some tough battles to face, she refuses to let anyone make her feel inferior or stop her from finding success.

“I’m so excited to team up with Vydia, for my next projects,” the rap diva said in a statement via a press release. “It’s time to TAKOVA!”

Additionally, the tech company’s Label and Artist Relations Manager, Sweetness, added, “I have been a fan of Asian Doll from day one, [and] can’t wait to see what we accomplish in 2023 with Vydia support on our side.”

Quotable Lyrics:

Tryna hide my pain, I’m in this house alone
I got addicted to this money, left my friends alone
Don’t know how tell my family that “I really love you long”
I told myself I had my back, how you gon’ do me wrong?

Russ Takes Us “Home” On His Latest Release: Stream

by

It’s been a busy few weekends for new music, and that trend is only continuing into the last few weeks of the year. This Friday (December 16) hip-hop heads were most excited about albums from Young Dolph and Ab-Soul. For singles, though, many have been showing love to arrivals from artists like Central Cee, Latto, and Russ.

The New Jersey native is no stranger to feeding his fans consistent music. On the 9th of this month, he came through with “Too Much,” on which he reflected on a $50 million offer he received in exchange for his music catalogue. Following that, the lyricist is taking us “Home” on his latest single.

As Rap Radar notes, the two-minute and 39-second long song boasts production by Lucas Quinn. Throughout his verses, Russ reflects on the joys of returning back to his bed after a long stint on the road.

Of course, being a working musician is a dream for many. However, constantly travelling and having to perform as the best version of yourself isn’t an easy feat by any means.

“I missed her so much that I made her Mrs. / Feel like I hit the lottery win, when I saved the digits,” his voice croons on the first verse. “I paid her visits, nah Im lyin’, she always came to me / I was a player, but I changed, this is no game to me.”

Previously this fall we heard from the 30-year-old on tracks like “Inside” and “BET.”

Stream Russ’ “Home” single on Spotify or Apple Music below. Afterward, revisit his recent “Too Much” single here.

Quotable Lyrics:

I missed her so much that I made her Mrs.
Feel like I hit the lottery win, when I saved the digits
I paid her visits, nah Im lyin’, she always came to me
I was a player, but I changed, this is no game to me

Smoke DZA & Curren$y Deliver “Park Bench Blues”

by

Despite releasing a solid 8-track project back in October titled 10,000 HRS, this New York rapper had plenty more hours to put in this year. Smoke DZA has returned with a new single “Park Bench Blues” featuring New Orleans’ Curren$y. The two are frequent collaborators; the last track they gave us was “Wish Upon A Star” off of 10,000 HRS. On this new song, both rappers ride over an aloof flute sample topped with hard drums to match.

For those unfamiliar with DZA’s work, we’d recommend projects from this year like Mood Swings with Real Bad Man. There, he displays his penchant for hazy flows, evocative descriptions, and elaborate rhyme schemes. Also, he tends to choose different production styles for different tracks. The 38-year-old sounds just as fitting on “Park Bench Blues”‘s trap beat as he does on drumless beats.

Furthermore, this track is a compelling synthesis of old-school sample work and more contemporary and atmospheric trap production. Both elements are minimal and raw in the mix, with neither overpowering the other. The melodic woodwind loop doesn’t change, but it’s pleasing enough to the ear to stick around. Moreover, it contrasts wonderfully with the deep bass that kicks in with Curren$y’s verse. Additionally, the snares and minimal hi-hats are incredibly sharp, with tones that cut through the rest of the track.

Meanwhile, Smoke DZA and Curren$y deliver some chilled-out verses that cycle through street topics. The New Orleans native comes through with slightly more aggressive energy, as his flows and rhymes evolve and morph into each other. DZA, on the other hand, delivers some vivid weed bars, a more measured flow, and direct punchlines. “Catching packages like Odell” is one of a few gems sprinkled in the track. With a new collaborative album with Big K.R.I.T., Girl Talk, and Wiz Khalifa on the way, we’re sure to get more of those.

But what did you think about this track. You can check out “Park Bench Blues” by Smoke DZA featuring Curren$y on your preferred streaming service. Also, peep more standout bars below and stay tuned to HNHH for the best new rap releases.

Quotable Lyrics

Me and top shelf pot, that’s a love story,
Puff-puff in Cullinans, moving luxury,
Every two hundred I make, I gotta tuck 40,
Have two Ms saved the time I touch 40

Rich The Kid Has “No More Friends” On New Single

by

Atlanta’s own Rich the Kid is back with a new single, “No More Friends.” Fans of his work will likely recognize his fast flows and minimal beat selection with an updated flair. Moreover, the track will appear on his upcoming album, Life’s a Gamble. Also, the track comes after “Motion,” which he released jointly with the announcement that he’s inked a deal with RCA Records.

Such moves have boosted Rich’s career, who hadn’t dropped new solo music since 2021. His output that year included the short project Lucky 7 and his collaboration with Lil Wayne, Trust Fund Babies. Still, a year’s gap between releases is still consistent enough to dismiss any claims of falling off. However, it seems that the Atlanta-raised rapper has found new life with RCA, as he excitedly shared.

“They didn’t believe in me @rcarecords DID,” the 30-year-old wrote via an Instagram post. “NEW PARTNERSHIP WITH THE best labels in the world Rich Forever X RCA, thank you to my team @bystormpitts everyone who helped make this happen.”

Instrumentally, the short track takes a more psychedelic tone that the Kid’s previous output thanks to the synth tones. They have a lot of atmosphere to them, and their high pitch and fragile tone are a nice deviation from his usually minimal melodies. This track feels a little more expansive as a result, with the simple drum pattern keeping his flow and rhymes in check.

As far as the lyrical content, the “New Freezer” MC wants more money, more success, but no more friends. Much of the track is dedicated to those flexes, whether about wealth or women, and it’s mostly framed around Rich as an individual. There aren’t many references to his circle, and that omission only adds to the track’s themes.

What do you think of Rich the Kid’s latest track, “No More Friends”? Let us know in the comments below and check out the song on your preferred streaming service. You can also peep the music video and some notable lines below, and stay tuned to HNHH for the best hip-hop releases.

Quotable Lyrics

Who callin’ me? This must be the money it got to be (What?)

Leon Thomas Takes Us To His “Breaking Point” On Latest Release

by

Back in May, Ty Dolla $ign shared the exciting news that he would be officially launching his EZMNY Records label. Along with that came the introduction of his first signee – Leon Thomas.

“Leon’s talent was just a higher level from every other singer or producer that I was hearing,” the “Spicy” hitmaker told Billboard at the time. “The fact that he was doing everything himself from playing bass to working Logic and Pro Tools [was amazing]. From the first song I heard, I knew he was one of them ones.”

Since then, we’ve heard Thomas’ talent speak for itself on “Love Jones” back in August. He and Ty Dolla came together for the single, but now, he’s back with a song of his own.

On Monday (December 12), the rising recording artist took us to his “Breaking Point.” As Revolt notes, the song was previously used in a Beats by Dre advertisement starring LeBron James and his son, Bronny.

The emotional song finds the Illinois native reflecting on how he can nurture a fading relationship. “Slow dancing in this burning house, I don’t wanna go nowhere / It’s hard for me to listen when there’s miles and miles of distance,” he sings.

Other appearances from Ty Dolla $ign’s first signee can be found on Phony Ppl’s “to get home” as well as Steelo’s “Lord Knows.”

Stream Leon Thomas’ “Breaking Point” on Spotify or Apple Music below. Additionally, find more recent R&B arrivals on our weekly playlist update here.

Quotable Lyrics:

Slow dancing in this burning house, I don’t wanna go nowhere
It’s hard for me to listen when there’s miles and miles of distance
Feel your heart is drifting but you’re right there
I call you home but I might be alone, I can hear it in your tone
We’re in the danger zone
