JID Responds To Denzel Curry’s Viral Request To Make A Collab Album

August 5, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Denzel Curry really wants to team up with JID. The two are among the best lyricists of their generation, and Curry think that making a joint album with JID would bolster his skill set. That’s what he told Apple Music, at least. “I always look for somebody to challenge [me],” he said back in July. “To make me a better emcee at the end of the day… Steel sharpens steel.” Curry wasn’t fooling around, either. The Florida rapper went out of his to assert that JID was the only rapper he would consider making a full album with. Luckily for him, the Dreamville superstar is onboard.

Denzel Curry sat down with NFR Podcast on August 5. He not only talked about his latest release, but provided fans with an update on the JID collab. “JID, me and him always had good songs together,” he noted. “When I told Apple Music that I was interested in working with him, he instantly called me.” The story gets even better. Apparently, JID is just as excited about the prospect of working with Curry as is the other way around. “He just called me,” Curry revealed. “He was like, ‘At some point, let’s do it.’ And I was like, ‘For sure.’”

JID Will Also Make A Collab Album With Metro Boomin

JID has been a busy man since dropping his acclaimed 2023 album, The Forever Story. The rapper has popped up on numerous albums, most notably Eminem’s The Death of Slim Shady. JID appeared on the track “Fuel,” and the general consensus was that the Dreamville rapper bested Em. Despite this stance, JID gave a shout out to the Detroit legend on Facebook. “I’m f*cking honored,” he posted. “Thank you @eminem u are truly legendary.” In addition to his planned joint album with Denzel Curry, JID has also confirmed that he has a collab album with Metro Boomin in the works.

JID has a competitive streak, and is clearly able to hold his own against some of the greatest of all time, but the rapper is wary of being compared to others too often. He articulated the downside to this notion during a 2023 interview with People Magazine. “I see people comparing me to people I should never be compared to,” he explained. “And not in a positive way, like comparing me to DMX or Andre 3000. That’s why Twitter is the wild west because you could just say anything and it could be a topic of conversation.” All comparisons aside, we agree with NFR Podcast, who theorize that a JID and Curry album could very well be the collab of the decade.

BossMan Dlow Seemingly Taken Into Custody By Florida Police: Watch

August 5, 2024 by newhiphopnews

BossMan Dlow did not have a great start to his week. If the footage that’s gone viral on social media is to be believed, that is. On August 5, a fan uploaded a video of the rapper seemingly being arrested. He gets handcuffed and escorted to a vehicle by federal officers. A fan can scarcely believe what’s going on, and proceeds to yellow BossMan Dlow’s name. The rapper turns and looks acknowledges the fan, which has many convinced that it is in fact him.

The caption over the video claims that BossMan Dlow fell prey to an FBI raid. The thing is, there hasn’t been any information to confirm the raid or the rapper’s arrest. Florida authorities haven’t confirmed that BossMan Dlow is in custody, or whether he has been formally charged. The site RL Live theorized that Dlow was putting together a car giveaway to help Floridians in need. The site then posits that the poor organization of the event, and the lack of permits, led to authorities being called and arrests being made. Neither the rapper’s camp nor the authorities have confirmed this, however.

BossMan Dlow Was Seen Handcuffed In His Native Florida

BossMan Dlow is no stranger to legal trouble. The rapper was locked up for drug possession back in 2019, and spent a good portion of the COVID pandemic behind bars. Dlow talked about his experience during a March 2024 profile with XXL. “I had sale charges, possession of cocaine charges, sh*t like that,” he conceded. “When I was in there, COVID had came.” BossMan Dlow recalls being spooked by COVID, and theorizes that he caught it despite not being treated. “I seen all the deaths all the numbers rising and sh*t like that,” he added. “I thought my people was going to die when I was in there.”

Since his release, however, BossMan Dlow has been on an upward trajectory. The rapper scored his first entry on the Billboard Hot 100 with the single “Get In with Me.” He also earned a spot on the prestigious XXL Freshman List in July. BossMan has plans to continue his upward ascent, and is even manifesting a collab with Drake. One of [my dream collabs] is Drake,” he told the outlet. “I definitely need a song with Drake… So, we gon’ have something on the way.” Hopefully the rapper’s seeming arrest doesn’t get in the way of his career ambitions.

Gunna Teases Unreleased Song & Vibes With LeBron James In Paris

August 5, 2024 by newhiphopnews

About a month and a half ago, Gunna shared some insight as to what his intentions are for his next album. “I might do this love album. Not all love songs but just a pocket of songs that’s more intimate. I think that’s going to be the next album for me”, he told Spotify for their A Day In The Life series. There is no current timetable for when this will come to fruition, but fans are hoping its sooner than later. In fact, it just might be because Gunna was in Paris teasing a song with LeBron James in attendance. According to Kurrco, the rapping and NBA superstars were seen at some sort of event post the Olympic games. Perhaps it was after Team USA’s win over Puerto Rico in their final group stage game on Saturday.

Regardless, Gunna and LeBron James were clearly chopping it up and having a good time while in France. Down below, you can hear the snippet, and it sounds fire. It sounds braggadocious and atmospheric as per usual, so it appears that Gunna isn’t ready to tease any love cuts just yet. Overall, like the album, fans are wanting this unreleased record ASAP.

Gunna & LeBron Chop It Up

“Streets need that”, one user on X writes. Another makes a clever pun regarding Gunna’s past hits and to show that Bron is a big fan of the ATL MC, “ebron”. Others are joking that it needs to drop, but only so the NBA legend can start practicing the words. “Bron gotta start learning the song so he know the lyrics when it drops”. Whenever this comes out, it will be the latest offering since his One of Wun tape. However, it will also come after a handful of high profile collabs with Offset and IDK.

What are your thoughts on Gunna’s potentially new song teaser? Do you think he’s got a new album in the works already? How do you feel about him and LeBron James linking up in Paris during the 2024 Paris Olympics? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Gunna and LeBron James. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

Adin Ross Gifts Donald Trump A MAGA-Themed Cybertruck Featuring Picture From His Assassination Attempt

August 5, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Adin Ross gifted Donald Trump a Cybertruck with a photo of him surviving the assassination attempt on his life in Pennsylvania wrapped around it. He showed the former President the vehicle at the end of his livestream on Monday. “I think it’s incredible,” Trump remarked. Together the two got inside and listened to several songs. Ross also offered Trump a Rolex earlier in the stream, which prompted jokes on social media about him violating federal campaign finance laws.

“Watching adin ross speed run violating campaign finance laws is hilarious tbh. Absolute W content, livestream the trial when you get the date set too,” one user joked. Another claimed: “Adin Ross just made a $90K+ in-kind political contribution to the Donald Trump campaign. The legal limit for an individual is $3,300 so Trump would need to report the full amount to the FEC and then return $87K+ back within 60 days or face big fines.”

Earlier in the stream, Trump discussed his feelings about Kanye West, labeling the controversial rapper a “really nice guy” who is admittedly “complicated.” “He can get himself into trouble and get some other people, but you know, he’s got a good heart, he does,” Trump said. Trump also spoke on Young Thug and the ongoing YSL RICO trial. He called on District Attorney Fani Willis to treat them fairly in the case.

Boosie Badazz Doubles Down On Releasing “Letter To The LGBT” Track

August 5, 2024 by newhiphopnews

“I told him don’t cut his d*** off (You heard what Boosie said? He crazy) / Now the whole world pissed off (Whole world mad at me, Ayo, Steery, cut up)“. These are the opening lines from Boosie Badazz’s recent song, “Letter to the LGBT”. It is the first track from his latest album Russia, a late June release. The Louisiana rapper goes on to say, “I told that gender get up out the pool / Them girls been trainin’ they whole life, they ain’t train just to lose to you“. These are a handful of bars that Vlad of Vlad TV recited back to his interviewee as they talk about why he went ahead and put this track out.

Seeing him drop this song is absolutely not surprising whatsoever. Boosie has always been voicing his opinion on this subject and unleashing is overall feelings in song was a way he could be heard even louder. So, for Boosie Badazz to double down on it makes even more sense. Throughout him and Vlad’s chat, the veteran Southern MC called out rappers for exploiting the LGBT community for doing things like painting their nails, putting on certain clothes, and etc. just like women to get more money.

Boosie Badazz Stands By Everything He Said In “Letter To The LGBT”

In general, Boosie feels that artist’s who are doing such things don’t actually have any love for them. Because of this, he encourages them to stick up for themselves and to put these rappers on blast. Furthermore, Badazz addresses how society should look in the future for the LGBT. He wants to see separate schools, sports leagues, bathrooms, and etc. so they can essentially be with others who share that in common. Boosie is sure to stir up even more controversy with these remarks, so be sure to stick around.

What are your thoughts on Boosie Badazz standing by his decision to drop his recent “Letter to the LGBT” track? Do you think his opinions on the matter are justifiable, why or why not? What is your take on the community? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Boosie Badazz. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

Travis Scott To Feature On Singer Asake’s Upcoming Album

August 5, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Travis Scott is continuing his career year with another feature. Asake, an Afrobeats artist based in Nigeria, is releasing his latest album on August 9. The album, titled Lungu Boy, features collaborations from several rappers, including Central Cee, Stormzy, and the aforementioned Scott. It marks the latest in what has been one of the most successful runs of Scott’s professional career.

Travis Scott has been on his Circus Maximus Tour since October 2023, selling out venue after venue. The tour could potentially gross up to $140 million, making it one of the highest-grossing tours for any rapper in history. “FE!N,” a track from Utopia featuring Playboi Carti has become the album’s biggest hit, as well as his biggest song since “The Scotts,” his 2020 one-off with Kid Cudi. WWE used it in promotional material for next year’s WrestleMania 41, making it a potential theme song for the event. Scott’s live DJ Chase B remixed the track in April as well.

Travis Scott To Feature On Asake’s New Album

Travis Scott’s feature on the Asake album is the latest in his own run of guest appearances. He recently appeared on “Parking Lot,” a track from DJ Mustard’s latest album, Faith Of A Mustard Seed. He also appeared on “Oh Sh…” from Ice Spice’s debut album, Y2K! You can read more about what we thought of that album here. In April, he had a spot on the remix to Nicki Minaj’s “FTCU,” also featuring Sexyy Red and Chris Brown. The Houston rapper has been visible, both on his own tour, and in continuing to show up on new music.

Away from music, Travis Scott’s work with Nike continues to be successful as well. It feels like he is always debuting a new sneaker, seemingly taking on a role of comparable size to some of the longtime athletes signed with the brand. A new Scott-designed pair of Air Jordan 1s are due for release in September, while he may be getting his second signature sneaker in 2025. Scott’s appearance on Asake’s latest album should help put new eyes on the artist, whose stardom is undeniable in his home country of Nigeria. We’ll see when the song, and his album, officially drop on Friday.

Kanye West Makes Tweaks To These “VULTURES 2” Tracks Amid Quality Complaints From Fans

August 5, 2024 by newhiphopnews

“VULTURES 2 AVAILABLE ON ALL DSPS. UPDATED SONGS WILL BE PUBLISHED IN REAL TIME”. That is the message that still reads across Kanye West’s yeezy.com site amid the release of VULTURES 2. He shared that news the night of the album’s release, August 3, after fans were voicing their frustrations all day. Many have been dubbing this his worst project of his career thanks to poor mixing, vapid performances, and etc. This is something that the Georgia multi-hyphenate has done before, à la The Life Of Pablo. While there are quite a bit of people out there who feel these changes will help improve V2, others think there’s no saving it.

Regardless of what side you’re on in this ongoing discussion, Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign are living up to their promise. According to Kurrco, he shared the first of five tweaks to the 16-song tracklist. Whether or not we receive adjustments to each cut remains to be seen. For now, though, Ye and Ty have brought updates to “RIVER”, “530”, “SKY CITY,” “FIELD TRIP”, and “FRIED”. Kurrco provides extra insight for the first two, which are arguably the most coveted tracks, and the ones fans were disappointed in the most. For “RIVER”, the “OG drums” are back in the mix, so if you were able to hear the demo of that record, that may be a major tweak.

Kanye Fans, How Are We Feeling About These VULTURES 2 Changes?

Then, for “530”, Ty Dolla $ign, as well as Alvin from the titular chipmunk band, have vocals added. However, at the time of writing, these changes have not yet been deployed onto streaming yet. Whether or not Kanye actually releases each refined version like he said he would in “real time” or all at once when each track is done, remains to be seen. For now, continue to refresh your streaming platforms.

What are your thoughts on Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign making these adjustments to VULTURES 2? How much does this improve the overall listening experience? Is Ye officially on a decline after these last two projects, why or why not? What other things does he need to fix on the LP? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Kanye West, Ty Dolla $ign, and VULTURES 2.
