Kehlani Will Do Anything To Be “Next 2 U” On Latest “CRASH” Single

May 31, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kehlani is one of R&B’s most consistent artists. You can always count on her to deliver some smooth and stunning falsetto vocals on a single, feature, or album. Pretty soon, the Oakland songstress will be coming through on the latter with a new project called CRASH. Kehlani announced it about two weeks ago and she is back to promote it for the second time with “Next 2 U”.

This single follows up on the already popular “After Hours”, which dropped back on April 4. The lead single sampled the 2004 hit “Move Ya Body” by Nina Sky and Jabba, and its addicting vocal melodies and instrumental have really sold the song for a lot of people. Now, Kehlani is looking to go two for two with “Next 2 U”. This track has a much different sound, opting for more booming bass and electronic elements.

Listen To “Next 2 U” By Kehlani

“After Hours” was more pop centric and more danceable, but here, Kehlani is looking to focus more on providing a show-stopping performance. In our opinion, the 29-year-old succeeds once again, as she sings passionately about protecting the one she loves. “To get next to you / They gon’, they gon’ have to call the law / I don’t care what they offer, I’m protecting you“. See if you think Kehlani passes the test again by checking out the track and its visuals above.

What are your thoughts on “Next 2 U” by Kehlani? Is this the best promotional track from her upcoming album CRASH, why or why not? Does this have you interested in what is to come on the album? What was your favorite aspect of the track? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.

Quotable Lyrics:

You’re more than the sun, you’re why the sun beams (Ooh, ah)
Your love is high, wide like a river
And if I die, I already fell and I’m floating (Safe in your arms)
Ooh, I know what it’s like to feel like I’m dyin’ in peace
Ho, ho-oh, oh-oh, I
I’ll tell you all my secrets if you promise to keep us in love (In love, in love)

Snoop Dogg & Warren G Drop “Cali 2 Canada” To Perform Together On Their Upcoming Tour

May 31, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Snoop Dogg is known for being a prolific artist, as he featured on hundreds of songs and made a ton of tracks for his solo catalog. He has already been a part of a new album from his close pals, Tha Dogg Pound, called W.A.W.G. (We All We Got). D-O-G-G was on eight of Kurupt and Daz Dillinger’s 14 cuts and in addition, he has a solo release today. For this single, “Cali 2 Canada”, Snoop Dogg is working with more California greats, this time in the form of Warren G.

While there is a chance this is just a loosie, this record does have some affiliation with something larger. According to Vibe, Snoop and Warren will be heading up to our friends up north in Canada. In fact, they will be making their way up there in just a couple of days, as the Cali To Canada Tour begins on June 3. It features 11 dates and will go through June 25 in Vancouver.

Also joining them is the equally pivotal figure DJ Quik, so it should be one heck of a tour. On “Cali 2 Canada”, Snoop Dogg and Warren G are trading bars with ease and providing the ol’ reliable bounce of G-funk. This track may not be anything too special, but it is a solid formula that both artists have nailed throughout the course of their storied careers. You can check out the single with the link above.

What are your thoughts on “Cali 2 California” by Snoop Dogg and Warren G? Is this the best song that Snoop has been a part of today, why or why not? Do you think a new album could be in the works?

A lot of motherf***ers wanna try to live this life
But they can’t, and they won’t

Logic Makes Some Familiar Callbacks On “Deja Vu”

May 31, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Logic has been working on Ultra 85 “for years and years and years”. That was according to an interview with The Greatest Creators With Guy Raz in early 2024. Fans certainly know that, as a lot of people have been on the edge of their seats waiting a long time for this to come to fruition. That hopelessness should be coming to end at some point this year, as Logic did share that info with us in late January.

A few days after that announcement, the Maryland multi-hyphenate would go on to drop the dance-inspired “Fear”. Then, the more straightforward banger, “44ever”, would follow in April, which brings us to Deja Vu”. As soon as you spin this single, your ears may catch on to the familiar flows, lyrics, and instrumental. This certainly makes sense, especially due to the name of the record.

Listen To “Deja Vu” By Logic & DJ Drama

If you thought you were hearing elements of “Fade Away”, then you would be correct! The Incredible True Story cut is a fan favorite for most, and listeners are already calling this “Fade Away 2”. The bars highlighted below are maybe the most impactful, as Logic gives us an update of the lyrics from the 2015 song. Originally, they went something like this: “Yeah, everybody gonna die, gonna go, one day / Maybe it would happen on a Monday“. This time around, he knows what to do, which is to live his life without anyone’s input. It is a great full circle moment, and ties in perfectly to the message of this song, as well as “Fear”.

What are your thoughts on “Deja Vu” by Logic and DJ Drama? Is this the best promotional track from his upcoming album Ultra 85, why or why not? Does this have you interested in what is to come on the album? What was your favorite aspect of the track? Do you prefer this over the original “Fade Away”? 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 Logic and DJ Drama. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

Quotable Lyrics:

Yеah, everybody gonna die, gonna go, I know
That’s why I flow likе a river, my liver can’t take no more
Ain’t no more f***s to give, I gotta live my life
Regardless if you think I’m living it right
I was born in the dark now I live in the light
B****, I’m ready to fight like I’m Tyson

Sean Kingston & NBA YoungBoy’s Contrasting Styles Collide On “Why Oh Why”

May 31, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Sean Kingston and NBA YoungBoy are both dealing with some major legal issues at the moment. The Jamaican-bred singer and genre chameleon’s home in Florida was recently raided. Additionally, he is facing 10 charges which include, alleged fraud, grand theft, and identity theft. Furthermore, his mother, Janice Turner, was arrested on similar accounts but with two less charges. Then, there is NBA YoungBoy, who seems to be on a better path after he received a $100,000 bond following his April arrest in Utah over a whopping 63 charges.

It included everything from patterns of unlawful activity to procuring or attempting to procure drugs, identity fraud, forgery, possession of controlled substances, and possession of a dangerous weapon. However, that lengthy list was trimmed down to 48 as of a few weeks ago. However, if things go according to plan, YB will head back to his home state of Louisiana for trial for the separate federal weapon charges. With all of these moving parts, it was quite surprising that we received a new song.

Listen To “Why Oh Why” By Sean Kingston & NBA YoungBoy

“Why Oh Why” is the first-ever meet up between Sean Kingston and NBA YoungBoy and it was teased by the former a little while back, according to HipHopNMore. Another reason why this collaboration is quite surprising is due to their contrasting styles. But the song goes over better than expected, as YB goes into his more melodic bag, instead of his typical yelping vocals. Him and Sean talk about fighting through adversity, which makes perfect sense given their situations.

What are your thoughts on “Why Oh Why” by Sean Kingston and NBA YoungBoy? Did you ever think that we would get a collaboration from these two, why or why not? Would you want to hear them together again? Who had the better performance? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.

Quotable Lyrics:

And I know, boy, I grew up, I just gotta get out
I grew up as a man, as I let go my feelings
I take out my type on a vent, n****, pay they get stretched
F*** that British, it’s murder for Whitney
I know I ain’t fell, but I gotta leave, oh
Ride with no straps in my Bentley

Roddy Ricch Updates His Fans On Where He’s Been On Soulful Lead Single “Survivor’s Remorse”

May 31, 2024 by newhiphopnews

“2024 is PERSONAL not business ”. Those were the words of Compton, California multi-hyphenate Roddy Ricch via his Instagram just over 24 hours ago. After a strong run in the latter half of the 2010’s, especially with Please Excuse Me For Being Antisocial, it seemed that he was going to be one of the new faces of pop/trap rap. Unfortunately, the quality took a dip on the subsequent releases LIVE LIFE FAST and Feed Tha Streets III. Based on his brand-new single Survivor’s Remorse, it is clear that Roddy Ricch has heard the narrative that he has fallen off.

“Imagine if I had a dollar for every time you say I fell off, I’d be a billionaire“, he raps on the first bar of his second verse. In addition to addressing the doubters, he gives some evidence as to why he has been laying back. “Roddy really anti, they took it pеrsonal, what the f*** was I supposed to do? / I been goin’ through child support / A good daddy, I vouch for it“. It was recently reported that Roddy’s ex-partner, Alexandra Kiser, did not feel that the rapper was there enough for their now three-year-old son.

Listen To “Survivor’s Remorse” By Roddy Ricch

“He has been arrested on a gun charge, domestic violence and regularly indulges in promethazine use, all of which are concerns for myself and our son”. Unfortunately, Roddy is still going to hear the noise from unforgiving fans about the lack of production. However, fans are seeming to love “Survivor’s Remorse” so far and they should. Production wise, it is gorgeous, with elegant piano melodies that give us flashbacks to “War Baby”. Also, Roddy turns a crisp vocal performance, and you can tell he has dealt with a lot mentally. With The Navy Album on the way, fans should be thrilled for what Ricch has coming.

What are your thoughts on “Survivor’s Remorse” by Roddy Ricch? Do you think he ever fell off, why or why not? Is this one of the best tracks he has ever put out? Does this get you excited for The Navy Album? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.

Roddy, you wealthy, Roddy, you golden, Roddy, you built for this

Eminem Catches Serious Flack For His Megan Thee Stallion Bar On “Houdini”

May 31, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Eminem is someone whose lyrics have always been seen as controversial. Overall, he has had some dark thoughts that have made their way to his records. Furthermore, he has had no issues saying some inappropriate things about women in his songs. Ultimately, these lyrical choices have shaped Eminem into an artist who is inherently polarizing. This is especially true as fans have felt his last few releases have been either mediocre or straight-up bad.

On Friday, Eminem returned to the rap game with a new song called “Houdini.” From the production to the flows to the melodic passages, the song is a return to his old sound. However, fans are currently fixated on one line in particular that was interpreted as a diss towards Megan Thee Stallion. “If i was to ask for Megan Thee Stallion if she would collab with me would I really have a shot at a feat?” Of course, this is supposed to be a reference to the fact that Meg was shot in the foot by Tory Lanez.

Eminem Mentions Meg

The song eventually started going viral on social media, and the Meg lyrics were a massive point of contention. In the tweets below, you can see just how upset people were with these bars. They felt they were incredibly disrespectful especially when you consider what Meg has been through. Furthermore, Meg’s situation has been turned into some eye-roll-inducing lyrics for numerous male artists, and it seems like fans are sick and tired of it. Whether or not Meg responds to Em, remains to be seen.

Let us know what you thought of the Megan Thee Stallion bar from Eminem, in the comments section down below. Do you believe that it was a big deal or is the internet doing too much here? Why do you think so many male artists keep mentioning Meg in their songs? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will continue to keep you informed on all of your favorite artists and their upcoming projects.

This not going to go well for him.

Eminem’s career has largely been built on being shocking and provocative to certain audiences … Being 51 years old and taking shots at Megan Thee Stallion?

Out of touch. https://t.co/IpLdFBqOCx

And Eminem, I don’t remember the last time you sold out a show, so the fact that you thought that little line you said about Megan Thee Stallion was funny is just wrong.

Meek Mill Borrows Drake’s Timestamp Formula For “5AM In Philly”

May 31, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Meek Mill needs a rebrand. He’s become “Twitter fingers” exclusively, between the viral moments and the extremely unfortunate friendship he has/had with Diddy. It’s not the best time to be a Meek fan, and something that could go a long way in fixing that is the music. It worked back in 2018, when he dropped Championships and managed to go Platinum. That album really benefited from a Drake-featured single, and Meek’s latest song decided to borrow a Drake-originated structure.

“5AM In Philly” is a transparent riff on Drake’s timestamp records. The ones that the Toronto rapper has been doing since 2010, and are regularly cited as some of his greatest tracks ever. It’s a bold move, and Meek really goes for the full timestamp treatment. He gets a moody instrumental that sounds like it came out of the OVO camp. Wistful piano keys coalesce with a subtle drum pattern, giving Meek Mill plenty of time to wax poetic about his life. There’s even a part near the two minute mark where the drums adopt the same exact pattern as the backend of Drake’s “6PM In New York.”

Meek Mill Turns In A Forgettable Drake Impression

It’s a classic move from producer Noah “40” Shebib. A concept that Meek bizarrely reminds us of by adopting a rhyme scheme around the number “40.” “And the time meet the time, you forty without a dime (I’m just a man),” he aggressively raps. “And the only thing you own is a .40 and a little .9. So if he kill son, that’s the only way he gon’ shine.” Not enough Drake similarities? How about the fact that Meek Mill decides to talk about “scary times” during the outro. One would be hard-pressed to think the rapper is referencing Drake’s Scary Hours EPs. The production is cool, and the rapping is passable. Meek does such a poor job of hiding his influences, though, that it feels like Drizzy karaoke.

What are your thoughts on “5AM In Philly” by Meek Mill? Does Meek sound good changing up his style? Do his bars hit home? Do the similarities to Drake distract you? 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 Meek Mill.

Quotable Lyrics:

N**gas gettin’ in your head, that sh*t might change your dog
I change my drawers, then put on my Glock when I wake up
(I need someone who understands)
Crazy part, that sh*t just made my block really break up
I’m the motivation, I made n**gas get their cake up

Polo G Gets Reflective On Hard-Hitting Single “Angels In The Sky”

May 31, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Polo G makes somber music. The rapper sounds grim even when he’s making a viral hit like “Martin & Gina” or a party anthem like “Flex.” Part of it is his inflection, but the other part is perspective. Polo has been through a lot over the years. He nearly overdosed on fentanyl in 2019, and he’s been arrested on multiple occasions during the 2020s. These experiences come through in his songs, and “Angels In the Sky” is proof that when Polo G is on his game, few make trap music with as much authenticity.

“Angels In the Sky” doesn’t sound all that different from Polo’s previous single, “Barely Holdin’ On,” but when something isn’t broken, there’s nothing to fix. There’s more of an emphasis on “Barely Holdin’ On” than there is on “Angels In the Sky,” and the latter actually benefits from its straightforward deliver. The song opens with an ominous, echoed loop before launching into a hard-hitting soundscape for Polo G’s bars. It would be an understatement to call the rapper’s lyrics intense. “And I can’t reveal the way I really feel, it’s hard to try. Heard the opps, they want me dead because I’m dissin’, tellin’ lies,” he raps. “Feeling mutual, stuff bullets in that SIG and let it fly. Execute him, headshot, knock his brains up out his eye.”

Polo G Rhymes About His Personal Struggles

The chorus of the song speaks to Polo G’s struggle to express himself. “Lot of sh*t I’m goin’ through, no, they don’t understand,” he raps, with a more melodic cadence. “I was walkin’ through the trenches with my gun in hand. I know losses come with the gang, but that wasn’t the plan.” The severeness of the beat and the lyrics and compounded by the excellent music video. The rapper is depicted wearing a hospital gown, and watching a TV in what appears to be a locked room. The viewer is then shown images of him being questioned by the police, overdosing on pills, and being overwhelmed with adoring fans. The new Polo G album is not going to be an easy listen, but it’s definitely going to be impactful.

What are your thoughts on “Angels In the Sky” by Polo G? Is this his best single yet? Do you like it more than “Barely Holdin’ On”? Are you excited for Polo’s comeback album? 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 Polo G.

Ballin’ like Tim Duncan, win or lose, I’m with my team forever
Got the same scars, we took them Ls on Evergreen together
Never understood my point of view because I seen it better
I couldn’t be right back in that cell, stressin’, readin’ letters
Nina and my Wesson like a duet, they gon’ sing together
Like to slide at night, put that .40 and that beam together

GloRilla, Megan Thee Stallion And Cardi B Crush The “Wanna Be (Remix)”

May 31, 2024 by newhiphopnews

“Wanna Be” was destined to be a smash hit. GloRilla’s cold-blooded flow sounded incredible over the throwback snap beat. Megan Thee Stallion played off GloRilla’s delivery but upping the aggression and ensuring that the song never lost momentum. There wasn’t much that could be done to improve on the original version. Yet, GloRilla and Meg found a way. The two superstars went out and grabbed Cardi B, the superstar who broke out before either of them, to hop on the remix.

There’s always a question of predictability when it comes to a remix. GloRilla and Megan Thee Stallion use the same verses as the original, but their placement is what keeps things exciting, as Cardi B kicks off the song with a charismatic sixteen. Cardi recently confirmed that she won’t be putting out an album in 2024, so it’s nice to get on her record whenever possible. She matches the energy of the original two while giving “Wanna Be” her own special touch.

Cardi Steals The Show From GloRilla On “Wanna Be (Remix)”

Cardi might even steal the show. She brings a series of different flows and catchy vocal inflections to the table. The “Bodak Yellow” rapper has the element of surprise, given that fans haven’t gotten a chance to hear her on the beat, and she really uses it to her advantage. It’s a testament to GloRilla and Megan Thee Stallion that they manage to keep up once its their turn. There’s also a fun motif where the rappers make reference to Hollywood actors. Cardi B name drops Matthew McConaughey, while Megan Thee Stallion tributes another Magic Mike star, Channing Tatum.

What are your thoughts on “Wanna Be (Remix)” by GloRilla, Megan Thee Stallion and Cardi B? Is this version better than the original? Which rapper had the best verse? Did the talented trio live up to the hype? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.

‘Bout twenty missed calls, he faded
White boy wasted, Channing Tatum

Eminem Revives His Old Style With New Single “Houdini”

May 31, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Eminem has a lot riding on this. The legendary rapper has been hyping up the release of his new album, The Death of Slim Shady. Like, a lot. He’s dropped fake obituaries, fake TV promos featuring 50 Cent, and he announced this new single, “Houdini,” with the help of magician David Blaine. Eminem is pulling out all the stops on this one, which only emphasizes the feeling that this is the end of the line. For Slim Shady, definitely, but perhaps even for Eminem. “Houdini” is definitely a throwback to the glory days.

The song was predicted by many to be a zany Eminem single in the vein of “The Real Slim Shady” or “Without Me,” and is it ever. “Houdini” recycles the chorus of the latter before jumping into the first verse. There’s even a cameo from Paul Rosenberg, who graced many an interlude during Eminem’s golden age. The beat is bouncy and playful and the rapper is very much in Shady mode. He takes aim at everybody in his life, including Dr. Dre, the aforementioned Paul, and even his own kids. “You can suck my d*ck, in fact,” he raps. “F*ck them, f*ck Dre, f*ck Jimmy, f*ck me, f*ck you, f*ck my own kids, they’re brats.”

Eminem Relies On References To His Old Music

Eminem’s ability to rhyme is still unrivaled. Those who wanted the “real” Slim Shady have gotten him on this track, as this is the silliest he’s sounded since 2009’s Relapse. The thing is, the effort is audible. Em is very clearly trying to give fans the old him, and it doesn’t have the punch that it used to. “Houdini” is a song that sounds like a rapper trying to recapture his glory days, because it is. The music video even pits the current version of Em versus the bleach blond Shady. Those who live the rapper will like it, but this is not the kind of song that wins over new fans. This is nostalgia rap, for better or worse.

What are your thoughts on “Houdini” by Eminem? Is this the rapper truly back? Does he recapture the Slim Shady magic? Does this song make you more excited for the album? 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 Eminem.

Quotable Lyrics:

My sh*t may not be age-appropriate
But I will hit an eight year old in the face with a participation trophy
‘Cause I have zero doubts, that this whole world’s ’bouts to turn into some girl scouts
That censorship bureau’s out to shut me down
So when I started this verse, it did start off lighthearted first
But it feels like I’m targeted, mind-bogglin’ how my profit has skyrocketed
