New York drill

Sleepy Hallow Shows His Moodier & Melodic Side On “Read This When You Wake Up”

by

Sleepy Hallow and Sheff G have now both officially delivered. Leading up to the release of both of their projects, both New York drill rappers were dropping singles in tandem. They were put out via these two packs called Don’t Sleep While It’s Lit, and there were two of them. Additionally, they dropped a handful of teaser tracks on their own. Now, with Sleepy Hallow’s Read This When You Wake Up here this weekend, the cycle is now complete.

As we have stated many times before, one thing that separates the Jamaican-born artist apart from most of his drill contemporaries is his ability to meld pop and R&B elements with the rap subgenre. On this project, he’s doing just that, and it’s created one of his moodiest listening experiences yet. Typically, with R&B and pop music, catchy choruses and hooks are key. There are a couple of instances where Sleepy Hallow pulls that off too. “Mmm” is one example, even though it’s just him repeating the song’s title. “Winners In Paris” is another that executes it better with an additional catchy melody to boot. Overall, if you are a fan of Hallow’s more low-key cuts, this album may be for you.

Sheff G & Sleepy Hallow Release Separate Album Singles Together With “Today” & “Mmm”

by

Sheff G and Sleepy Hallow are like two peas in a pod. Both have been prominent voices in the New York drill scene for a few years apiece and they each have tons of hits under their belts. Naturally, their stars align quite often, and their work relationship seems to be stronger than most out there. Given all of this, it’s no surprise that they are releasing together once again. However, it’s not how you may expect. According to a press release, “Today” belongs to Sheff G and will land on a new album. Then, “Mmm” is a Sleepy Hallow only track and is going to be on his future project, READ THIS WHEN YOU WAKE UP.

But the twists and turns don’t end there. Making this slightly more confusing is that they are both out together under a two-pack. It’s called Don’t Sleep While It’s Lit – Part 1, so there might be another EP coming at some point. However, let’s focus on the known facts. Via another press release, Sheff will be dropping his full-length body of work on November 22. It will be called Proud of Myself and will feature Sleepy Hallow, Lil Tecca, and more. As for Hallow, his will arrive on December 6. It’s a lot to take in but maybe listening to “Today” and “Mmm” may clear your mind, so check them out now.

Fivio Foreign Turns Up On Braggadocios New Song “Living Legend”

by

Fivio Foreign is an artist who has completely taken over the New York drill crown. Overall, it was a crown that once belonged to Pop Smoke. However, following his unfortunate passing, the scene was looking for a star to uphold the mantle. Fivio was the one to do it and his verse on “Off The Grid” is what truly helped him ascend to superstardom. Since that time, the artist has been consistent with his releases, from singles to projects. He continues to impress, and his following has remained steady.

Today, Fivio dropped off a new track simply called “Living Legend.” As the title would suggest, this is a fairly braggadocios cut in which Fivio can be heard reaffirming how he got to where he is in the music industry. It’s a song that is meant to uplift, and the New York drill production certainly helps with that goal. While Fivio has been subjected to online ridicule at times, he simply does not care. He knows he has it all right now, and for him, that is all that should matter.

Let us know what you think of this new track from Fivio Foreign, in the comments section down below. Do you believe that this is one of his best songs? How have you been enjoying Fivio’s rise to fame over these past few years? 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.

If they ain’t know me, the pole in my reach

Kay Flock Feeds Fans From Behind Bars With “Make America Flock Again” EP

by

Kay Flock has been making waves within the New York drill scene for the last three years or so. He’s got multiple hits in his brief but still growing catalog to show for it. Songs like “PSA”, “Is Ya Ready”, and “Being Honest” are all RIAA Gold-certified. You can’t also forget about “Not In The Mood” with Fivio Foreign and “Shake It” with Cardi B, Dougie B, and Bory300 either. Sadly, though, his run has sort of been clipped by his run-ins with the law. For quite some time now, Kay Flock has been behind bars on charges of racketeering, murder, attempted murder, and more. He’s been updating his fans on his progress while in custody, but there’s a chance he could be locked up for good.

His legal team has tried to get him out on bail, offering up $1.4 million and to go through house arrest instead. However, it seems like prosecutors are going to move forward with a trial. Reports in late February pointed to a possible start date of sometime in September. So far, though, there haven’t been any updates. What we can tell you, however, is that Kay Flock is back with new music. It comes in the form of a five-track EP featuring a slew of NY talent. Make America Flock Again sees him work with past collaborators such as Lil Tjay on the fine opener “Fed Up”, as well others like AC Zoe, B-Lovee, and more.

Sugarhill Ddot Presents His Debut Album “2 Sides Of The Story”

by

With drill music being a prominent subgenre in all corners of the geographic market, there seems to be a new artist looking to waves. One of those talents hails from New York City and his name is Sugarhill Ddot. He’s been dropping some singles and EPs for the last two years or so, but he had yet to drop an album or mixtape in that frame. Well, Sugarhill Ddot is fulfilling the former item on his checklist with 2 Sides of the Story. On the teenager‘s debut, he had some things he wanted set straight going forward for the rest of his career.

In a press release, Ddot says, “2 Sides Of The Story shows my growth as an artist. I’m from Sugarhill but there’s more to me than just that. “I spent the last year working on this debut album [and] I want people to see the two sides of me. I can do street records but also smooth melodic records”. He certainly delivers on that front throughout the healthy 18-song set. Ddot sometimes sounds like some of his guests, particularly the posthumously featured PnB Rock, especially on the more lowkey cuts. However, this is something that a lot of artists work through early on, so it isn’t too much of a concern. Overall, there are some solid drill bops and some big-ticket names both on the mic and behind the board. Give 2 Sides Of The Story a spin with the links below.

Sleepy Hallow & Sheff G Drop Sexually-Charged Collab “Yes Freestyle”

by

Sleepy Hallow and Sheff G share a lot of things in common. Both are from the city of Brooklyn, New York, they navigate a similar drill sound palette, and each of them love getting active with women. That is the topical focus of this latest Sleepy Hallow and Sheff G collab, “Yes Freestyle”. This single has a thumping instrumental that is synonymous with this area of rap. The kicks are very potent, giving this beat some extra oomph. Additionally, Sleepy and Sheff’s flows are easy to follow and making for a catchy tune. However, a song like this from the “2055” rapper should not be a surprise to anyone at this point.

“Yes Freestyle” is just hit in the Sleepy Hallow catalog. His 2023 album, Boy Meets World, features several go-to tracks. Two of those include “A N X I E T Y” with TDE signee Doechii and “Die Young” featuring 347aidan. Both songs alone have over 300+ million streams. Additionally, one of Sleep’s most recent offerings, “Winners In Paris”, is also making some noise with over 13 million plays on Spotify. But straying away from his solo stuff, him and Sheff G are also quite the dynamic duo. “Weight On Me” is their most popular to date, but they have plenty of others out there. Maybe they should make a collab album?

Chow Lee, Cash Cobain & Bay Swag Declare A Sexy Summer On “act bad twin!”

by

The sound of drill has come a long way from its inception in Chicago when Chief Keef and Young Chop painted vivid images of the city’s underbelly. These days, the sound has taken on a form of its own. Still, it continues to have its grip on hip-hop and pop music at large. Chow Lee and Cash Cobain have been at the forefront of its evolution, specifically in a post-Pop Smoke New York. However, their strain of sexy drill took command in 2022 with the release of 2 Sexy 2 Slizzy and laid the foundation in 2023. for the fruitful year they’re experiencing now.

This morning, the two reunited for their latest banger, “act bad twin!” alongside Bay Swagg. “act bad twin!” is an exemplary effort of their chemistry – the fluidity between each artist breeds a cohesion that most collaborators aspire towards. A subdued sample lingers in the background of the production as if submerged in water while the auto-tune-influenced triplet flows take center stage for equally romantic and lustful bars that are very much on-brand for the trio.

Both Chow Lee and Cash Cobain have been on an impressive run since the top of the year. “Act bad twin!” follows a string of solid releases from Chow, including “swag it!” and its remix with Flo Milli, “Sexiest Soul,” and “SNA!” Meanwhile, Cash Cobain’s emerged at the forefront of New York’s hip-hop scene with the success of “Fisherrr!” and the Ice Spice-assisted remix – both of which feature Bay Swag – as well as J Cole’s wildly controversial feature on “Grippy.” We’re excited to hear what each of these artists has in store for the remainder of the year. Check out the song below and let us know your thoughts in the comment section.

Juelz Santana Drops The Perfect Pre-Game Hype Song With “Score”

by

Dipset (The Diplomats) affiliate Juelz Santana has been repping the blue-collar city of Harlem, New York with much pride. Essentially a living legend at this point in his career, the 42-year-old is not dropping as much as he used to. In fact, the last new single we received from the MC was back in October of last year. “Black Opps” with Yung Tripp and Cassidy was the release, but he was a feature on it. The last time he dropped a solo track was “Whitney” back in September 2022.

Then, if you want to look at when he dropped an album, you will have to go even further back in time. In 2020, Juelz released #FREESANTANA, a tight, ten-song record with a stacked guest list. Dave East, Jim Jones, 2 Chainz, Lil Wayne, Belly, Jeremih, and A Boogie Wit da Hoodie assisted him greatly. But after such a long absence how would the MC come back? Well, Juelz Santana is looking to get with the times with “Score”.

What we mean by that is that Santana is going New York drill on this cut and it pans out well. Self-produced and written, he made this song for the hoopers in his hometown and across the globe. “Uh, they counting me out like never before / Never again, I’m back up, look at the score“. You can check out “Score” with the new music video above.

What are your thoughts on “Score” by Juelz Santana? Is this one of his better songs as of late, why or why not? Do you think he is working on a new album finally?

Shake a n**** out his sneaks now, I’m unleashing the beast now

Sleepy Hallow Pens Another Catchy Drill Record For The Summer With “Winners In Paris”

by

A pretty accurate way to describe Sleepy Hallow would be a Pop Smoke lite. While you might read that as a slight, we in fact mean the total opposite. The late Brooklynite navigated drill with a grimier and darker approach. Additionally, his voice was smoky, gravelly, and had some bassy qualities to it. In the case of Sleepy Hallow, he has a deep cadence too, but not as much. Additionally, most of tracks are more on the melodic and artsy side. Unfortunately, we never got to hear a collab between these two. They would be a great yin and yang, but we can keep dreaming.

The reason we are talking about Sleepy Hallow today is because he has a new single out called “Winners In Paris.” This is the Flatbush, New Yorker’s second solo release of 2024, following up his Valetine’s Day-themed “Cupid’s Guidance.” On “Winners In Paris,” Sleepy is dealing with a woman who he really wants to get with. Unfortunately, he has a hard time changing his old ways and she is not down for the games.

Listen To “Winners In Paris” By Sleepy Hallow

“I’m still myself, ain’t give a f*** who is acceptin’ me / She want the best for me, this what she said to me,” he raps. The beat is minimal, but it gives a summer vibe and Hallow delivers an easy-to-follow flow that is catchy beyond belief. This has the potential to become another “2055” situation and we would not be surprised if it blows up.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single “Winners In Paris” by Sleepy Hallow? Is this one of his better releases as of late, why or why not? Do you think he is hurtling toward a new album/EP in the near future? Is he the best New York drill artist going right now? 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 Sleepy Hallow. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

Quotable Lyrics:

Seen n****s in Paris, she said she wanna come
She said she embarrassed, a new body, I bought her one
And this a Glock 17, this ain’t no water gun
She said her heart got colder, she said, “It’s over”
It’s easy when you high, it’s harder when you sober
Like, I’m just tryna hit some shit like Sammy Sosa

41 Throws A “Birthday” Bash On Their New Single

by

41 have been one of the main voices out of the Brooklyn drill scene for a few months now. The trio consisting of Kyle Richh, Jenn Carter and TaTa are gaining more and more notoriety by the day it seems. They famously received a co-sign from Travis Scott as well as another prominent voice in their respective subgenre, Fivio Foreign. Today, 41 is back to bring one heck of party banger called “Birthday.”

MCVertt also gives the group another beat here, and it is slightly different from the traditional drill formula. There are some subtle horn sections thrown in to help break up the constant flow of 808s and bass. Everyone from 41 brings their unique deliveries to “Birthday,” which is something you can always count on from them. Another thing that will never be left out of a track from them are their particular themes of partying, women, and violence.

Listen To “Birthday” By 41

That is where their music might falter for some. Especially when drill music has its limitations when it comes to production, talking about the same things over and over again will also lead to it becoming stale ever faster. But if 41’s formula is not broke, which it appears to not be, keep it trucking. Be sure to check out “Birthday” and its music video above.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single, “Birthday,” by 41? Is this the best track they have dropped as of late, why or why not? What is your favorite element of the track and why? Do you think they have a new album in the works for 2024? Who had the stronger performance on the track? 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 41.

Quotable Lyrics:

She wanna leave, but her shit be too drippy (Woo), gave her an umbrella (Have an umbrella)
I cannot fall for the set up (Fall for the set up), my diamonds so cold that it beef with the weather (Beef with the weather)
It’s your birthday so we could get deader (We could get deader), like
Think I wanna party with Heather (Party with Heather)
Give her flowers, it’s gettin’ her wetter (Gettin’ her wet)
She said she wan’ shower, let’s do it together (We do it together)
