SahBabii Adds “A Lu Bit More” To His Fan-Favorite “Saheem” Album

by

For the most part, Atlanta rapper and singer SahBabii has mostly been in the background. After an explosive start to his career back at the end of the 2010s, the 2020s have not been as kind to him. Prior to this year, it had been since 2022 that he last updated his resume. But back at the beginning of November, the 27-year-old captured fans hearts and ears with his official sophomore album, Saheem. It’s quickly become a bit of a cult favorite, but we can see why this tape has also been gaining traction outside of his loyal fan base.

While the trap and R&B production isn’t necessarily anything to groundbreaking, it does sound slightly elevated. It’s a nice mixture of wavy, hard-hitting, spacey, and slightly off-kilter from the mainstream trap scene. Artists like Gunna, Young Thug, and maybe even Future would put together this sort of soundscape. But where SahBabii differentiates himself from those guys is a song like “Show Off.” It’s one of just two new cuts from the deluxe of his self-titled called A Lu Bit More. This track in particular is already winning listeners over thanks to the writing credits and background vocals provided by indie/soft rock and sophisti-pop singer-songwriter, Clairo. The way SahBabii was able to incorporate the sonics from her most recent record Charm and make it into a bop is quite impressive. Continue to keep your eye on SahBabii because he’s making a nice comeback.

Tory Lanez Taps His “Twitch Tapes” Vault For Two Moody Cuts

by

Tory Lanez is switching things up for this week’s edition of his “Lost Tapes” series. Instead of pulling from that vault in particular, the Canadian crooner is dropping off two “Twitch Tapes.” This is subset that he introduced back on the week of August 23, so it’s been quite some time since he’s revisited these tracks. Before getting locked up for a 10-year prison stay, Tory had been previewing snippets upon snippets on livestreaming platforms such as Twitch. Moreover, he’s displayed his off-the-cuff rapping ability on streams with Adin Ross, for example.

So, it’s cool to see Lanez bring these works out for everyone to hear. However, the issue with them is that they are extremely short. “Rodeo Drive,” the first one we got, was just over two minutes long. “Back to Back” and “Blurred,” the new kids on the block, are even shorter. Neither clock in over the 1:50 mark. So, if you like longer material from Tory Lanez, you may be let down by this week’s entries. However, given the rapper’s current situation, it’s amazing that we are even getting new music to begin with. Moreover, both songs are Lanez in his moodier bag. They both focus on sex, relationships, and hedonism, which means there’s a bit more singing than spitting. Check them out at your leisure below.

“Back To Back (Twitch Tapes)” & “Blurred (Twitch Tapes)” – Tory Lanez

Quotable Lyrics From “Blurred”:

Met her in Atlanta out in Lenox
Ain’t been to sleep in like 3 days
Diamonds away playing tennis
She got a vibe gotta spend this
I don’t usually spend on no girl that I just ran through
She just might be experienced

DDG Recruits Tory Lanez & Real Boston Richey For His “Handling Business” EP

by

This weekend has been another eventful one for DDG. Not everything has been peachy keen, though. The Michigan rapper and YouTuber has been tied up in some more controversy surrounding Halle Bailey, in part anyway. He appeared on plaqueboymax’s livestream recently, and during their link-up, he was asked who his favorite ex-girlfriend was. They were doing a Q&A segment called “Dry Ones” where if you didn’t answer your question, you would have to eat a biscuit. He decided to play along and say his best ex “besides family,” meaning Halle Bailey, was a girl whose name started with a “K.” However, only the latter part of his answer got clipped by gossip outlets and it led him to call them out for creating a false narrative.

So, yes, it’s been another bump in the road for DDG, but he’s looking to move past it all with some new music. This time around, he’s here with HANDLING BUSINESS, a new four-track ep which includes a past release with Real Boston Richey, “WHAT U BAD FOR.” It also contains the title track, featuring a fresh verse recorded by Tory Lanez from his prison cell. It’s been the cut that’s been the most talked about for that reason, but also because some of his bars on his fiery and candid verse. If you want a more in-depth breakdown of it, check out this link, and this one. Additionally, there’s two moodier solo cuts “HANDS IN THE AIR” and “REASON.” Hit up the streaming embeds below to see what DDG is putting down.

Tory Lanez Shares His Most Personal & Heartbreaking Track To Date In The “Lost Tapes” Series

by

Tory Lanez is creating some discourse around his recent verse on DDG’s new single “HANDLING BUSINESS.” On it, he raps about his one regret on the night of the Megan Thee Stallion shooting. “The only one thing I regret on that night, is jumping up outta the pool with Kylie.” There he’s speaking about the video that was going around the internet of him taking a dip with Megan and Kylie Jenner. Then, he shouts out Drake and backs him amid all of his issues. They used to be sworn enemies, but things have been smoothed out over time. “I be up praying and waiting for the day that n****s come for me the way they did Drizzy / I got the card in the wallet, and big brodie’s problems are my problems, so f*** how you feelin’ about it / Brodie gone stand on his own, but 2024, it ain’t no fair ones in Toronto.”

But this isn’t the only release from him this weekend that’s getting people’s attention. Once again, Tory Lanez has come back with more “Lost Tapes.” This week’s edition consists of “Honest,” a hookup related cut from 2019, and “Losing Friends,” a recording from 2018. If you have been following him for a while, or did heavily in 2018, the lyrics may hit a little harder for you. That year, Lanez had lost five friends in various ways with just four months to go. On the pre-chorus, he sounds like he’s beginning to tear up while rapping with a lot of passion and emotion. You can check both of them out with the links below.

“Honest (2019)” & “Losing Friends (2018)” – Tory Lanez

Quotable Lyrics From “Losing Friends (2018)”:

Yesterday, my n**** E committed suicide
Sometimes I realize in this world, this s*** is do or die
See one of my realest n****s, meet up and barely take no pictures
Where the f*** was I when you took your life, man, like, I should’ve been with you
And I know we came from [?] but we kept it G, though
Used to pick me up from my apartment, right there on [Lisa?]

J Cole Releases “2014 Forest Hills Drive” Bonus Tracks And Fans Are Loving Them

by

J Cole is closing out his 2024 with a big bang, as he released two deluxe physical versions of his 2014 classic 2014 Forest Hills Drive for its ten-year anniversary. Both of them contain four bonus tracks each, and the blue variant arrived at select fans’ doorsteps this weekend. From what people with that exclusive sneak peek have said, they are very compelling storytelling tracks that show off the North Carolina rapper’s incredible skills. These tracks are “Die Together” – which some fans think parallels the theme of 4 Your Eyez Only – “Home Soon,” “Judgement Day,” and “Winter Wonderland.” As for the tracks on the other version, they are “Keep Heaven Dancing,” “Miles,” “Black Man In Hollywood,” and “Obviously.”

Hopefully they all land on streaming services soon, as we’re very excited to hear what else J. Cole had in the vault for the 2014 Forest Hills Drive era. But this isn’t all that he did to treat fans at the end of 2024, as he also released his mixtapes on streaming for the first time late this year. Specifically, fans can now enjoy The Come-Up Mixtape Vol. 1, The Warm-Up, and Friday Night Lights on their preferred DSP.

J Cole’s 2014 Forest Hills Drive Deluxe Is Starting To Arrive

In addition, J. Cole launched his Inevitable audio series in which he goes over his career with his manager and Dreamville cofounder, Ibrahim Hamad. Their most recent episode had Cole talking about Kendrick Lamar’s good kid, m.A.A.d. city and the pressure and inspiration it provoked in him when it released. “When Kendrick’s album dropped, the journey got harder, the mountain got steeper. Because similar to when [So Far Gone] dropped, where it was like, ‘Oh s**t, there’s another person out there that has the same ambitions as me,’ it happened like that with Kendrick.”

Not only that, but J. Cole even played some unreleased collabs with Kendrick Lamar during select Inevitable episodes, which fans obviously loved to hear. While their relationship is complex these days, all that admiration, care, respect, and collaboration balances all that out. In any case, we can’t wait to check out these bonus 2014 Forest Hills Drive tracks and see what Cole’s got in store next year.

Hottest Hip-Hop Albums & Songs Of November 2024

by

Overall, November 2024 was a great month of hip-hop albums, and it was also a month that contained some phenomenal singles. Of course, Ab-Soul, FERG, and many others came through with some projects that fans were certainly expecting. However, it was Kendrick Lamar who completely shook things up when he decided to drop the album GNX out of nowhere. It is a project that has subsequently given way to a tour, which is set to begin in April. Meanwhile, on the singles front, we got some incredible stuff from a plethora of artists, including MIKE, Hi-Tech, and many others. So without further ado, here are our favorites from the last 30 days.

Yungeen Ace Responds To Those Against Him On Second 2024 Tape “I Control My Destiny”

by

“I put my all in this project. I know ppl praying I fail or be in a casket or cell, but I’m destined for greatness… hope yall been waiting to hear from me. Album out now I Control My destiny.” That is Yungeen Ace about his newest album, which hit streaming platforms this weekend. It’s his second of 2024, and it follows up on his March 29 release, Forgotten Star. New music has not been the only headline surrounding the Jacksonville, Florida rapper and singer, though. It’s actually been quite the controversial stretch for him, as he has been involving himself with his late Florida contemporary, Foolio.

He’s been on the receiving end of a lot of hate thanks to a pair of diss tracks toward the latter. Both “Do It” and “Game Over” came across as very distasteful and they seem to suggest that he was the one who put the hit on Foolio. It actually led to allegations against him, and a few suspects are currently in custody. Things are still not sorted out as of yet, and it looks like it will take some time before justice is served to the MC’s family and friends. Still, Ace decided to include those two direct diss records on I Control My Destiny, maybe to create some extra buzz around it. There are some solid cuts, as this tape sees him opening up more. But overall, it’s still an interesting and contentious vibe surrounding Yungeen Ace.

Blxst Extends His Explorative “I’ll Always Come Find You” LP With Five Deluxe Tracks

by

Blxst continues to trend toward being a pillar of modern R&B thanks to his willingness to go out and try things. That’s especially true sonically, and he’s done for the majority of his career. Being a Swiss army knife has led him to some fun collaborations with artists of all kinds. Blxst was then able to collect a diverse feature list of his own for his recent tape, I’ll Always Come Find You.

The four-part album did explore different topics, as well as instrumentals. 2 Chainz, Ty Dolla $ign, Amanda Reifer, and a now late Fatman Scoop were just a mere handful of guests to up the diversity. But clearly, Blxst was not content with just dropping the album how it came. His laundry list of producers was certainly put to good use because Blxst has just dropped off the deluxe of I’ll Always Come Find You this weekend. There are five new tracks, a fifth act, and appearances from DeJ Loaf, K CAMP, and more.

ScHoolboy Q Announces Another Tour For “Blue Lips” Along With An Exciting Twist

by

After five long years of waiting, ScHoolboy Q came back with a fresh mindset and creative ideas for his next project. Following the announcement of BLUE LIPS, it quickly became a highly anticipated album to check out. The results were highly satisfactory and despite a ton of fabulous records since its release in March, it’s remained an AOTY contender. Sadly, the GRAMMYs did it no justice, leaving it out of the Best Rap Album category. But most fans are going to appreciate it anyway, and they should. It’s Q’s most personal, grown-up, and ambitious record to date with some of the best beat switches all year as well.

Just a few months later, the Oxymoron MC took his sixth studio effort on a unique tour called, Blue Lips Weekends. From the weekends beginning on July 18 through August 11, ScHoolboy Q hit up cities like Chicago, Dallas, Seattle, and more for 11 dates. The rare and shorter format wound up to be a success for the California rapper because he’s doing something similar again. According to Pitchfork, ScHoolboy Q is heading back on tour starting on January 23 in Oakland.

A post shared by ScHoolboy Q (@groovyq)

This time, though, there’s a different twist or two. Instead of staying state side, the “THank god 4 me” artist is going to take a couple of weeks off in between. That will allow him to recuperate for the international performances which will see him head to Germany, France, Netherlands, and England. Blue Lips! Got New Songs… Tour will span nine dates in total and based on the name of it, that might be the second special thing with this trek.

“Blue lips…new songs and new sHows,” Q wrote. “New songs” could potentially mean we get some bonus tracks from this era of ScHoolboy Q. Of course, that then leads to a possible deluxe of BLUE LIPS which we could receive any time before, in the middle, or after the tour. This is all speculation, but it is certainly an exciting thing to think about.

Tyga Showcases His Best Talents On “Don’t Be Fooled” Two-Pack

by

Throughout Tyga’s career, we have been able to pick up on his strengths and weaknesses. He’s not going to blow your mind with his pen. However, he does know how to put together some sticky lines, though. But where he really shines is in the melody and instrumental departments. The ears for those vital factors of any good song are on full display on Tyga’s new songs “Don’t Be Fooled” and “Mmphh.” Both land on a two-pack named after the former and they arrive during a nice little stretch for the California rapper.

For “Don’t Be Fooled,” Tyga and d.a got that dope create an earworm through an addicting drum pattern and haunting string sections. His flows on the track are perfectly in sync with tempo of the track, making it a catchy listen through and through. Additionally, it’s got a braggadocious vibe, as the “Taste” MC reminds everyone to not take him lightly. Then, on “Mmphh,” the themes remain the same, but there’s a shift in the sounds. A flute enters the fray, and it fits snuggly into the mix. In addition, Tyga’s delivery is lively and a little playful. Overall, it sounds like he was having fun in the studio when putting these tracks together.
