Tems Recreates An Afro-beat Classic With “Love Me JeJe”

Tems has grown into her own ever since hip-hop fans discovered her on Future and Drake’s 2022 collaboration “WAIT FOR U.” It went on to become one of Hendrix’s most popular songs on Spotify for quite some time. The R&B jam even peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot 100, scoring her first chart-topper. Fairly soon now, she will be looking to carry all of that momentum onto her debut album. Tems is showing she is ready to take that next leap with one of the project’s singles, “Love Me JeJe.”

Just over a week ago, the Nigerian singer and songwriter teased BORN IN THE WILD on X (formerly Twitter), saying, “BORN IN THE WILD. The Album. May 2024.” Since then, she has not announced the exact release date, but hopefully it will hit streaming services within the first two weeks of the month. We also do not have a confirmed tracklist either, according to Genius.

Listen To “Love Me JeJe” By Tems

At this current moment, the site has three other songs listed for the album. Those include “Me & U,” “Not An Angel,” and the unreleased title track. “Love Me JeJe” is actually a recreation of an Afro-beat record from the late 90s by Seyi Sodimu. The original seems to slower instrumentally, while Tems’ updated rendition is more up-tempo to give it a more party-friendly aesthetic. Both songs are stunning and it is hard to pick which we love more.

JT Fans Think Her New Song “Okay” Sent Shots At Cardi B, Fans Debate

One of the saddest realities of femcee rap beef is how the industry often turns these women against each other rather than encouraging all of them to pursue their artistry and careers without feeling the need to “pick a side” or put other women down in the process. Whenever there’s new alleged feuding on the horizon, skeptical scrutiny is always necessary. Moreover, JT fans are debating whether or not a bar on her new song “Okay” was aimed as a diss towards former City Girls collaborator Cardi B. “She ate crab legs, now her whole tooth missing,” she raps on the cut. “Cheap a** veneers, you stay talking s**t / Put a marker to this b***h, she’s so counterfeit.”

Furthermore, some fans think this seems to reference a Cardi B video from last month in which she appears with a tooth missing and explains that “one of [her] veneers came out while chewing on a hard-a** bagel.” For those unaware, these two rap superstars had beef back in 2022 over some exposed DM exchanges and ghostwriting accusations. Eventually, Hollywood Unlocked‘s Jason Lee mediated things and they squashed it out, so there’s no current reason to believe there’s much of a feud. After all, there was also a recent video of JT turning up to Bardi’s new single “Enough (Miami)” from this year… but most people don’t think that’s the City Girl at all, so it’s probably just fake news.

JT’s Alleged Shots At Cardi B On “Okay”: Listen

With this in mind, there are a lot of bizarre, unconfirmed, and purely speculative events or interpretations that could inform this bar (which admittedly seems quite direct) and other actions, statements, clips, and art. However, we can’t talk about that without talking about the main “civil war” that folks will always rope femcees into nowadays thanks to alleged (and sometimes confirmed) tension between Nicki Minaj and Cardi B, which mostly manifests when it comes to these artists’ fanbases. For example, the former recently brought out JT during a Pink Friday 2 tour stop. As such, maybe one could assume loyalties thanks to this development.

Regardless, the Florida native has to work out her issues with her fellow City Girl, Yung Miami. While things seem to have patched up between them, it’s never a good look for a duo to have, especially as they move more and more solo. But we’ll see whether this is just an artistic change or if there is actual tension there. On that note, stay logged into HNHH for more news and the latest updates on JT and Cardi B.

Coi Leray Is Done Playing Games On “Can’t Come Back”

Coi Leray gets a lot of hate overall in the music industry. Many feel she does not deserve to be a star, or they feel she just lacks talent. However, she has still become a popular figure in hip-hop and R&B regardless. “Baby Don’t Hurt Me,” “Players,” and “Self Love,” have all become massive tracks for Coi Leray and “Can’t Come Back” can hopefully be another one for her.

The Boston, Massachusetts rapper and singer hinted at this song dropping yesterday with sudsy thirst trap on Instagram. “No filter. New music @ midnight 🎵,” she wrote to her followers. “Can’t Come Back” sees Coi take on a more subdued delivery as she sings with resentment. That hatred stems from past love interests wasting her time.

Listen To “Can’t Come Back” By Coi Leray

Only wanna call on the late night (What else?) / Don’t match my vibe (Yeah) / Can’t really tell if you’re mine (Come on) / Hate it when you switch sides (Woo).” The beat is extremely wavy and lowkey and Leray tries a unique cadence on the chorus, almost adopting a whispery delivery. Maybe this new style will be put her name change in motion? Regardless, be sure to check out the new track and watch out for the music video debuting at 1:00 p.m.

Normani & Gunna Cannot Resist Each Other On Sensual Lead Single “1:59”

Normani fans have been starved, dehydrated, and all the above waiting for her debut solo album. It has been teased and in the works for years at this point, but not much was known about it. That was up until February when the former Fifth Harmony vocalist revealed the project’s artwork and title. She also began teasing music from it just weeks ago, but the reception was not great. But Normani still has people ready for what she can do on her own with its lead single “1:59” featuring Gunna.

Her supporters might also be thrilled to know that Genius has Dopamine listed for a June 14 release date. That appears to be the confirmed date as well, as Normani has “DOPAMINE THE ALBUM JUNE 14” in her Instagram bio. “1:59” sees the Georgia natives serenade each other, with Gunna even taking on an auto tuned singing and rapping flow. It does not sound too off-putting for those who had doubts about how he would fit on a slow-mo R&B cut.

Normani and Gunna are so infatuated with one another, that even when they are not together, they are always wanting to reunite for an intimate time. Instrumentally, it is nothing that is reinventing the wheel, with its guitar loops and minimal production overall. But it does sound pleasing to the ears vocally and beat wise. Be sure to check out the lead single for Dopamine above.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single “1:59” by Normani and Gunna? Will this be the best song from Dopamine, why or why not? Does this get you excited for her album?

Southside Teases Forthcoming LP With “President” Featuring Destroy Lonely & Ken Carson

Metro Boomin may be viewed as the current king of trap rap, but Southside is step for step with him. The longtime hitmaker from Atlanta, Georgia is always working with the best of the best. It is for good reason too, because he has great synergy with so many legends in Southern hip-hop. Pretty soon, Southside will be dropping his first album in four years and to hype it up, he has a new single out called “President.”

This time around, the “Hold That Heat” creator is teaming up with ragers Destroy Lonely and Ken Carson. Both have been establishing themselves as the future faces of the subgenre over the last couple of years and now they are working with one of the most established stars. “President,” according to a recent press release, looks to be the third single for his unnamed sixth LP. The first of them was 2022’s “Hold That Heat,” which featured Travis Scott and Future.

Then, in late 2023, Southside and Lil Yachty dropped “Gimme Da Lite.” On “President,” the veteran incorporates some stunning synths, horn sections, and rumbling bass. It feels epic, but Lonely and Carson mumble their way through the track, dragging down the hype factor. But, its still a solid track all around and it will be one of the more popular tracks from the record.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single “President” by Southside, Destroy Lonely, and Ken Carson? Is this one of his better beats as of late, why or why not?

YG Drops A Speaker “KNOCKA” With New Single

YG was one of the hottest names out of California when he came up in the early 2010s. He was celebrated — deservedly so — for projects like My Krazy Life and Still Brazy. Each provided tons of bangers and some terrific G-funk nods. However, his last few records such as STAY DANGEROUS, I GOT ISSUES, and etc. have not been nearly talked about as much. But YG is proving that he still has plenty left in the tank with “KNOCKA.”

This is his first solo release since 2022’s “Miss My Dawgs” with Lil Wayne. Over the last year or so, his singles have been collaborations with Tyga mainly. Tracks like “Brand New,” “PLATINUM,” and “PARTy T1M3” were all for their 2023 team effort Hit Me When U Leave The Klub: The Playlist. But “KNOCKA,” according to Genius, is looking to be a promotional teaser for Just Re’d Up 3.

They believe it will arrive sometime in July of this year and it would be following up the second entry in the series which dropped back in 2013. On “KNOCKA,” YG is rapping with a lot of energy like always, but his flow may be the most impressive part. Every bar ends with some form of an “uh” sound, tying into the phonetic spelling of “KNOCKA.” The beat is also pretty addictive with a killer sample loop. Be sure to support YG with the link above.

Got shotters on shotters on shotters on shotters
Wipe a n**** nose like, “N****, clean that snot up”

Killer Mike & Blxst Recruit Offset For Extended Version Of “MICHAEL” Cut “EXIT 9”

Killer Mike really put on for the city of Atlanta and the rap genre at the 2024 GRAMMYs. Somewhat controversially, his sophomore solo LP MICHAEL took home three categories at the iconic award show earlier this year. It won over massive mainstream records UTOPIA, HEROES & VILLAINS, Her Loss, and King’s Disease III. One of the consistent arguments against him winning came from fans who are not hip to the rap legend saying things like, “Who is Killer Mike?” But he definitely deserved all the success and now, Killer Mike is taking another victory lap by adding Offset to “EXIT 9.”

Track 10 on the original version of the album, “EXIT 9” only featured California singer Blxst. Additionally, the song was just over two minutes and 40 seconds. But with Offset entering the mix, the record now clocks in at 3:30. As most know, adding another artist to an already great track can achieve mixed results.

Listen To “EXIT 9” By Killer Mike, Offset, & Blxst

But to the former Migos member’s credit, he seamlessly slides into what Mike and Blxst were doing on the reflective song about making it from the bottom. Offset rocks a monotone and lowkey flow as he talks about Takeoff, his late grandmother, and working hard for his respect in the game. All in all, this one of the stronger bonus cuts from MICHAEL. Be sure to check out the new version of “EXIT 9” with the link above.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single “EXIT 9” by Killer Mike, Offset, and Blxst? Which version of this track do you prefer more now and why?

Ice Spice Steals The Show On Cash Cobain’s “Fisherrr (Remix)”

Cash Cobain is on the come up. The rapper had a production credit on Drake and 21 Savage’s Her Loss (2022) and his new collab with Bay Swag, “Fisherrr,” has been getting lots of playlist spins on streaming. It’s a catchy track, driven by Cobain’s start/stop flow and the jittery drum pattern. The lack of a verse on the back end made it a prime candidate for a remix, though, and Cobain took notes. “Fisherrr (Remix)” enlists one of the hottest rappers on the planet, Ice Spice, and the result is a track that outdoes the original.

Cobain and Bay Swag maintain the hypnotic qualities of “Fisherrr,” but Ice Spice kicks things up a notch with her singular flow. She comes in towards the end of the remix, where the OG version lost steam, and spits bars about what else: being the baddest in the game. People don’t listen to Spice for the intricate wordplay, it’s all about the delivery and the quotables. The “Munch” hitmaker even throws it back to her breakout single. “I brought a baddie too,” she raps. “She a wetty, ooh, givin’ Betty Boop. I ain’t callin’ you “my boo,” n**ga, what you thought? I was feelin’ you?”.

Ice Spice Allegedly Disses Latto On The Remix

“Fisherrr (Remix)” actually leaked a week prior to its official release. DJ Akademiks was sent the track on April 18 and previewed it during one of his live streams. Some fans think Ice Spice’s verse is taking aim at Latto, but there’s nothing that explicitly links the two artists. “Make ’em b*tches wanna hate, she see me and she get uncomfortable” are the “diss” bars in question. In the super combative diss environment of 2024, however, they aren’t enough to start a legitimate feud. They could just as easily be general brag raps.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new song, “Fisherrr (Remix),” by Cash Cobain, Bay Swag and Ice Spice? Do you prefer it to the original? Does Ice Spice keep her hot streak going? Do you think she was taking shots at Latto on her verse? We want 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 on Cobain and Ice Spice. Finally, stay with us for the most informative song posts throughout the week.

And my a*s fat ’cause I eat my oats and my vegetables
And my p*ssy fat, and it’s creamy, ooh, just like Danimals
I’m a baddie, so I know them other b*tches ain’t impressin’ you

Chance The Rapper Begins His Comeback With “Buried Alive”

Chance The Rapper is an artist who has been through quite a bit over the last five years. Overall, when he dropped The Big Day back in 2019, there was this sense that he was on the verge of superstardom. That he was entering the Big Three alongside Kendrick Lamar and Drake. However, that did not happen for him. Instead, the album was absolutely panned by critics, with many calling it the worst album of that year. It was a disappointing time for Chance, and since then, his star has mostly faded from the limelight.

However, he has been teasing a comeback for quite some time. This past week, he revealed that he would be dropping a new mixtape called Star Line.
