New Music Fridays is back for the new year with some exciting releases from some of the biggest names in hip-hop. JID has dropped a new freestyle, NLE Choppa brought in his aunt for a new single and Playboi Carti returns with help from Travis Scott and more.
JID – ‘30 Freestyle’
Dreamville and Atlanta rapper JID impresses fans with his latest freestyle titled, “30 Freestyle.”
Produced by Conductor Williams, the two-minute track showcases JID’s impeccable lyrical skills over Williams’ boom-bap-inspired beat. The freestyle establishes JID as a force to be reckoned with in the hip-hop scene, captivating listeners with his unique flow and wordplay.
Memphis rapper NLE Choppa adds a personal touch to his new single “Auntie Living Room.”
The “Shotta Flow” rapper brings in his aunt to sing the chorus of the song, adding an emotional and intimate element to the track. In the accompanying video, NLE Choppa spits his verses in his aunt’s house, creating a genuine and meaningful connection between music and family.
Uncle Murda continued his tradition of wrapping up the year with his annual “Rap Up” series. In this year’s edition, Uncle Murda takes on the events of 2023, delivering witty and biting verses over a sample of Phil Collins‘ hit song “In the Air Tonight.”
The track serves as a platform for Uncle Murda to express his opinions and call out notable figures such as Diddy, Jada Pinkett Smith, Keefe D, Sexyy Red, and more.
Playboi Carti & Travis Scott – ‘Backwoods’
Playboi Carti teams up with Houston rapper Travis Scott for their collaborative track and video, “Backwoods.”
The visual showcases the two rappers performing in a corporate building and beside a luxurious black SUV. The catchy and energetic song highlights their chemistry and further solidifies their positions in the hip-hop industry.
Lil Tecca – ‘Down With Me’
New York rapper Lil Tecca dropped the song and video for “Down With Me.” In the visuals, Tecca alternates between rapping outside next to a luxurious car and engaging with dancing women at a lively house party.
24KGoldn – ‘Good Intentions’
24KGoldn releases “Good Intentions,” delivering a road trip-themed music video. Joined by two friends, 24KGoldn embarks on a journey through San Francisco, combining scenic shots by the beach with motivational lyrics. The track serves as a reminder for listeners to pursue their goals with positive intentions.
Big Hit & The Game
Pasadena rapper Big Hit surprises fans with a joint album alongside Compton rap star The Game, titled Paisley Dreams.
Executive produced by Big Hit’s son, star producer Hit-Boy, the nine-track project features collaborations with Dom Kennedy and Teeflii.
Compton rapper YG teams up with rapper and reality television actress Stunna Girl for their latest single, “Stand Up.” The song samples Ciara’s 2004 hit “Goodies” and features flirtatious and sexual verses from both artists.
SOHH fam, check out these new bangerz and have a great weekend!
Blueface’s diss against NLE Choppa on Jaidyn Alexis’ “Barbie” remix clearly didn’t sit well with him. Then again, he probably saw another big chance to capitalize on this moment, and decided to lean into one of the most volatile social media presences in recent memory. Moreover, this is what the California rapper had to say against the Memphis MC. “Oh, N-L-E baby mama wanna hit,” he spit on the cut. “Why you lying ’bout the number, b***h? You know I got the digits. I ain’t never pulled it out and ain’t have a b***h to kiss it.” Now, it seems like they might face off by trading blows rather than trading bars.
Furthermore, NLE Choppa challenged Blueface to a boxing match, and we now have a response from him to give more credence to this prospect. “Finally we got one,” he wrote on Twitter on Thursday (January 4) alongside a fish hook emoji. As such, we have plenty of reason to believe that the Cr*zy In Love reality star is more than down to scuffle with his former “Shotta Flow (Remix)” collaborator in the ring. After all, he already has plenty of experience in this area, and if you’re a combat sports junkie, we’ll let you predict this matchup in the comments section down below.
“Let’s box @bluefacebleedem who can set up celebrity boxing match in Vegas me and him hit me ASAP,” NLE Choppa tweeted. “He undefeated vs women ion respect a n***a that put his hands on em anyway !” “I hit you personally to stop speaking on me,” he had initially responded to Blueface’s diss on the “Barbie” remix. “I thought s**t was understood. Bet that [handshake emoji].”
“N***as rap about my wesydes all year long and mad when I rap about his,” Chrisean Rock’s former flame clapped back. “She decided to indulge in the circus on her own free recognizance she entered the chat nobody safe. I’m not worried about a Muslim vegan cryp on sY bet that small fry [handshake emoji] squabble up or shut up. I KNO NLE baby momma wanna hit [circus tent emoji]. I put lil bro on anyway [yawning emoji].” For more news and the latest updates on Blueface and NLE Choppa, keep checking in with HNHH.
New year, same old antics. After witnessing the rollercoaster that was Blueface’s 2023, internet users were hopeful the 26-year-old would turn over a new leaf in 2024. Unfortunately, he’s been on his usual BS since January 1, from dropping a remix of a Jaidyn Alexis hit that he allegedly penned in the first place, to antagonizing Chrisean Rock by continuing to insult their baby boy publicly. Because he’s currently serving a suspended sentence concerning his Las Vegas shooting case, Blue has more pressure on his shoulders than ever before to behave and restrain himself from getting in trouble. Still, he looks to be teetering on the edge of total demise, and he has NLE Choppa ready to square up against him after the MILF Music founder dropped bars about him on his latest verse.
In the early hours of Thursday (January 4), the Cottonwood artist put out a tweet requesting someone set up an official fight between him and Blue. “Let’s box @bluefacebleedem ,” Choppa’s tweet begins. “Who can set up a celebrity boxing match in Vegas [between] me and him? Hit me ASAP. He undefeated vs. women, [I don’t] respect a ni**a that put his hands on ’em anyway!”
Blueface and NLE Choppa Bring Their Beef Into the New Year
Let’s box @bluefacebleedem who can set up celebrity boxing match in Vegas me and him hit me ASAP. He undefeated vs women ion respect a nigga that put his hands on em anyway !
As unbecoming as it is, there are several recent instances of women in Blue’s life claiming to suffer from physical abuse at his hands. The “Thotiana” artist apparently got physical with both Alexis and Rock after “rescuing” Junior from the latter’s friend’s care, not to mention him allegedly attempting to put his hands on Marsh while she was taking care of his son.
Elsewhere in the news, Blueface continues to deny being the father of his youngest child, Junior, leaving his second baby mama seriously upset. While going Live on IG from the studio recently, she teased her remix of Sexyy Red’s “Bow Bow Bow (F My Baby Dad),” and spoke out about her little boy spending time with Blue’s father. Read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.
It goes without saying that 2023 has been a great year for Sexyy Red, both as a lead artist and with her features. Throughout the year, the rapper dominated airwaves and made multiple appearances on charts across the globe. In addition, she is also widely regarded as one of the biggest breakout stars of the year. Rolling Stone even crowned her hit song “SkeeYee” as the best rap song of 2023. Likewise, fans of her music will refer to 2023 for years to come, because her work rate was truly astounding. Besides releasing several singles and an album, Sexyy Red had a laudable amount of features in 2023. Ranked from worst to best, here they all are.
21. “Sexyy & Conceited” – Pardison Fontaine ft. Sexyy Red
This track was released as a part of Pardison Fontaine’s recent album SEXT8PE. Sexyy Red’s verse contains her signature confidence and braggadocio. Additionally, while she and Fontaine may not have phenomenal chemistry, they are not a bad pairing. However, this might just be arguably her most forgettable feature of 2023.
20. “Perc & Sex” – YN Jay ft. Sexyy Red & G Herbo
YN Jay originally released “Perc & Sex” as a track without features on his 2022 album Coochie Goat. Following its considerable success, he released a remix featuring Sexyy Red and G Herbo in August 2023. While the original song remains one of his biggest tracks right now, the remix has not been as successful. Sexyy Red tried to pull her weight on the track, but the song didn’t hit quite like it should.
19. “I Love Freaks (Sexyy’s Version)” – Lijay ft. Sexyy Red
In this song, Lijay and Sexyy Red let listeners know just how much they love freaks. This is very familiar territory for Sexyy Red. As a result, although Lijay is the lead artist, she all but eats him up on the track. “I Love Freaks” may not be among the most impressive features Sexyy Red has appeared on in 2023. However, that doesn’t make it any less of a bop.
18. “Big Dawg” – Moneybagg Yo ft. Sexyy Red
Running neither hot nor cold, “Big Dawg” is an okay song featuring okay verses from both rappers. While it’s not a bad song, it could certainly be a lot better than it is. Without a doubt, Moneybagg Yo and Sexyy Red can make a harder song, given the opportunity. Hopefully, they’ll collaborate again and create another fire track.
17. “Hoe Sh*t” – Genesisthegawd ft. Sexyy Red
Genesisthegawd enlisted the help of Sexyy Red on the remix of “Hoe Sh*t,” which was released on October 20, 2023. On the track, the two femcees trade bars on their respective verses. They rap about being on their “hoe sh*t,” and we kind of would like to be on ours as well. While it may not be among her absolute best features of 2023, Sexyy Red shines on this track.
16. “All She Do Is Shake” – J Traxx ft. Sexyy Red
Despite being arguably the least popular song on this list, “All She Do Is Shake” is a good song. It runs for less than two minutes, and features a very short verse from Sexyy Red. However, it manages to be memorable, regardless. Sexyy Red and J Traxx should definitely consider more collaborations in the future.
15. “Shiesty” – Finesse2Tymes ft. Kaliii & Sexyy Red
Another successful collaboration, all three rappers brought their A-game on “Shiesty.” Released on June 23, 2023, the song is a treat for fans of dirty rap. Despite not appearing on the charts, “Shiesty” is considerably popular. Subsequently, it would get much bigger as it has what it takes to be a huge club banger.
14. “Bent (Remix)” – 41, Kyle Richh, Jenn Carter, TaTa ft. Sexyy Red
Hip Hop trio 41 released their project 41 World: Not The Album on November 17, 2023. The 11-track body of work contains their hit song “Bent,” as well as the remix with Sexyy Red. Admittedly, Red has had much bigger features in 2023. However, her chemistry with the members of 41 on this track is undeniable. All four performers effortlessly glide through the song.
13. “No Panties” – Raedio ft. Sexyy Red
“No Panties” is a soundtrack from the second season of Max’s Rap Sh!t. It appears on RAP SHIT: The Mixtape (From the Max Original Series, S2), which was released on November 3, 2023. As usual, Sexyy Red was in her dirty rap bag on this track. Like she does on “Rich Baby Daddy,” she spits bars about letting her “coochie breathe.” We can’t complain because it goes so hard.
12. “Check” – Gloss Up ft. Sexyy Red
Shades of Gloss, an album by Gloss, was released on August 11, 2023. The project contains 13 tracks, and one of its standout songs is “Check.” On the track, Gloss Up brought the heat, and so did Sexyy Red. The verses are notable, and the hook is quite catchy as well.
11. “Peaches & Eggplants (Remix)” – Young Nudy ft. Latto & Sexyy Red
Young Nudy’s “Peaches & Eggplants” remix was released on September 8, 2023. As the title suggests, the song is quite explicit, making Sexyy Red a great fit. While it’s not as successful as the original, this remix is also pretty good. Overall, Sexyy Red and Latto both delivered, as expected.
This track was released on April 7, 2023, accompanied by a music video. While the original song charted on the Billboard Hot 100, this remix did not. However, it is a favorite for fans of Sexyy Red and is one of her most popular features in 2023. NLE Choppa and the fiery femcee are a delightable, dirty duo on the track, making for an epic club staple.
9. “Yonce Freestyle” – Kevin Gates ft. Sexyy Red & BG
Released as a non-album single, “Yonce Freestyle” is shaping up to become a sleeper hit. It features a memorable hook from Gates and notable verses from Red and BG. Evidently, the attention it has received is well-earned, and it may very well get more popular. All three rappers are in their element on the track, and that’s what makes it work so well.
8. “Daddy” – Tokischa ft. Sexyy Red
On this reggaeton track, Tokischa teams up with Sexyy Red to deliver a provocative and danceable rap number. The Dominican rapper sets the tone, bringing the heat with her verse. Likewise, Sexyy Red, exhibiting her versatility, eats the beat up as well. “Daddy” is a certified party starter and one of the more unique features Sexyy Red appeared on in 2023.
7. “BING BONG (Remix)” – BlakeIANA ft. Sexyy Red
Although her verse on the track is short, Sexyy Red completely ate it up. Both rappers effortlessly glided on the beat throughout the song. They did it so well that by the time the song ends, you can barely tell that much time has passed. Sexyy Red’s collaborations with other women in rap are always a good idea, and the remix of “BING BONG” is no different.
6. “Area Codes (314 Remix)” – Kaliii ft. Sexyy Red
Representing St. Louis, Missouri, Sexyy Red appears on the 314 remix of “Area Codes.” The track was released on May 11, 2023. It sees Sexyy Red serving up a red hot verse rivaling that of Kaliii’s. The entire song is just a little over two minutes and has a high replay value. As far as Sexyy’s best verses this year, this one’s right up there.
Released on July 7, 2023, DaBaby teams up with Sexyy Red on this remix. If we’re being honest, “Shake Sumn (Remix)” might as well be Sexyy Red’s song. DaBaby gives her so much space to shine, and she does just that. While his own contributions are minimal, somehow, it works pretty well for the track. Apparently, it’s one of the best features Sexyy Red was attached to in 2023.
4. “Face Down” – MCVERRT ft. Sexyy Red & FERG
It’s easy to like a song with an energetic beat like the one featured on “Face Down.” Besides the production, however, the rappers’ performances make the track what it is. Sexyy Red kept up with the two other artists, and they all demolished their verses. With raunchy lyrics that’ll make anyone clutch their pearls, the song was a surefire hit.
3. “One Margarita (Margarita Song) [Ladies Remix]” – That Chick Angel ft. Sexyy Red, FendiDa Rappa & Flo Milli
At this point, the whole world must have heard “One Margarita” already. The original version of the song was released on May 31. Subsequently, it went viral and has spawned several remixes. The “Ladies Remix” was released in August, and is just as much a bop as the original. Sexyy Red features in 2023 are indeed abundant, but there’s something so effortlessly natural about her contributions to the already viral track.
2. “MMM HMM” – Lancey Foux ft. Sexyy Red
Right off the bat, listeners can tell this is a hard song worth jamming to. Firstly, the beat goes wild. Secondly, Lancey Foux delivers exactly as expected. Likewise, Sexyy Red leaves nothing on the plate after her verse is done. It’s a wonder that the song did not appear on the charts, but it certainly deserved to. With a chorus worth replaying over and over again, “MMM HMM” still has enough time to weave itself back into listeners’ consciousness. Perhaps a viral moment on TikTok is just what it needs.
At the moment, this is the biggest song in Sexxy Red’s discography. It was only just released in October as a part of Drake’s eighth studio album, For All the Dogs. However, it has already surpassed every other song in Red’s catalog in terms of streams. It comes as no surprise, considering that it’s a Drake song featuring SZA. Nevertheless, “Rich Baby Daddy” is a great track despite the musical giants that appear on it. Sexxy Red delivers a hook that is quintessential to the song, securing it as one of her best features of all time, and the best in 2023.
But some people still hold Brown in high regard, and one of them works at Walmart.
On Monday, December 18, NLE Choppa posted an 11-minute video to his personal YouTube channel entitled “NLE Choppa Goes Christmas Caroling! (In Public).”
In the video, the Memphis rapper and his friends — dressed in red and green robes, accessorized with reindeer ears — visit a packed Apple store and bailed on traditional Christmas songs in favor of Choppa’s very explicit “Shotta Flow 7.” Unsurprisingly, they were promptly kicked out by Apple employees.
Choppa and Co.’s final stop was the local Walmart, where one employee looked on agape. “Chris Brown is here?!” she asks. She looks around for her co-worker, who must also be a big Chris Brown fan, and yells at Choppa, “I love you, Chris Brown!” Choppa plays along, thanking her and briefly singing “Wall To Wall,” one of Brown’s formative hits.
It’s partially adorable and partially sad to think about how that Walmart employee probably gleefully blew up her group text with the false news that she’d just met Chris Brown. People on TikTok are delighting in her innocent confusion. ‘Tis the season to believe!
Watch the full video above, and watch the hilarious mix-up below.
Blueface has been beefing with both of his baby mamas for the past few days, and now, two other famous faces are entering the mix. Off the Record host, DJ Akademiks and the Californian were trading shots on Twitter on Sunday (December 10), with the former seemingly suggesting that Chrisean Rock’s son, Junior, is his child, not Blue’s. “In today’s world, telling the truth is considered ‘exposing,’” the father of three wrote yesterday. “Ain’t no shame in my game, Ak, I hit yo b**ch as well, sorry man.”
Assuming the 26-year-old was talking about his former lover, the podcaster responded, “Dawg, Celina got hit by the whole world. She’s ain’t ever been my b**ch tho. Hope [you ain’t] go raw tho playa.” To this, Blue clarified that he meant Akademiks’ current partner. “And I just snuck a swab… The DNA test came back… That baby [you] keep claiming [is your] son… Is actually mine,” the embattled blogger clapped back. “I’m cool [with you] being the dad that stepped up tho.”
Rather than taking this message personally, the Cr*zy In Love star laughed it off. “Aye brother, get in line [and] take a number . It’s a list of potential fathers, welcome to the circus ,” he posted on Sunday afternoon before turning his Twitter fingers toward NLE Choppa on Monday (December 11). Things are heating up between the creatives after the latter’s baby mama, Marissa, called out Blue for trying to speak with her at a party recently.
“He hopped on that no rizz train till he seen I had that number now I’m his ‘Shotta Flow (Remix)’ friend . Don’t call me about no b**ch boy,” Blueface wrote to the Cottonwood artist on Twitter to start off the week. “NLE been calling my [phone] all day about his baby momma but I’m tender ,” he added. Check back in with HNHH later for more updates on all the drama.
NLE Choppa’s 2023 has been an eventful one, to say the least. The Memphis rapper is sort of a goofy character in the current hip-hop scene. Honestly, though, it is always a treat to see what the 21-year-old artist is going to do next. He had a lot of people talking after hearing his rendition of Nelly’s classic hit with “IT’S GETTING HOT.”
Outside of music, Choppa has said and done some things online that have caused debate as well. Back in August, he posted an unsolicited feet picture in a random photo dump on Instagram. In October, he had people worried about his safety after he “disappeared” to his hometown to shoot a music video. All in all, it has been a whirlwind of a year for him, and this new track caps one to remember for sure.
NLE is bringing his beloved “Shotta Flow” series to an end with the seventh entry. It boasts production credits from Tay Keith and may feature some of the funniest bars out of them all. The first line in the first verse takes an unexpected shot at Chrisean Rock, and it is quite funny. “I was missin’ the action like Chrisean tooth.” But, that is not the only notable line. “Wanna f*** Kim K and make Kanye watch,” is another one. Finally, for good measure here is one more, “Back leg loose like a n**** had to poot.” This is pure poetry and we are going to miss the series deeply after this one.
What are your initial thoughts on this brand-new single, “Shotta Flow 7,” by NLE Choppa? Where does this installment rank amongst the rest of the “Shotta Flow” series? Does this one contain the funniest bars out of all seven of them, why or why not? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your hottest takes in the comments section below. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest breaking news around NLE Choppa. Furthermore, stay with us for all of the best song releases throughout the week.
Quotable Lyrics:

SOHH fam, check out these new drops and enjoy your weekend!
Earlier this week, NLE Choppa shared his new single “Shotta Flow 7” which is perfectly in line with his hard-hitting style. But right out of the gate with one of the first lyrics on the song he makes a joke at Chrisean Rock’s expense. The first line on the first verse reads “I was missin’ the action like Chrisean tooth.” The joke was made about Chrisean’s notoriously missing tooth, though it doesn’t exactly have a punchline or a clever payoff.
Now, Chrisean herself is responding to the song. She caught wind of it via a clip of the lyric on Instagram where she left behind a comment. “This is so random ppl will just mention me saying anything,” she comments alongside a crying laughing emoji. Even though she doesn’t really seem to care, fans responding to her comment feel like she’s downplaying things. “She loves the attention actually and she getting on my nerves now,” one comment reads. But others think she should try and take on the song’s instrumental herself. “Put her on the remix and get her a bag for her and the baby cuz she could do this beat,” one of the top comments on the post reads. Check out the snippet from the song where Choppa mentions Chrisean below.
Chrisean Rock has had a busy few weeks that started with the alleged kidnapping drama between her and Blueface. It began when Blue posted about having to go pick up the pair’s child late at night because Chrisean wasn’t around. When she gave her point of view on the events later on she had a very different story. Rock claimed that Blue actually kidnapped their child and the drama began to spiral from there online.
That led Chrisean Rock to share some concerning posts to social media. She had fans worried for her safety after making claims about dying being easier than staying alive. Thankfully she pivoted to something more wholesome when she shared a video reading bible verses to her baby. What do you think of Chrisean Rock’s response to NLE Choppa mentioning her in his new song? Let us know in the comment section below.
NLE Choppa, like many folks out there, is a big Chris Brown fan, and he makes that admiration pretty clear online and in public outings, such as when they played basketball together. However, his most recent example of Breezy fandom has some fans in tears, others with genuine admiration, and a few who think he shouldn’t try too hard. Moreover, the Cottonwood 2 rapper sang the R&B star’s track “Under The Influence” in a new social media video. We have to give him props: he gives it his all and stays (mostly) on key. Plenty of folks have that MC/singer duality, but it’s even more exciting to see it develop from someone you didn’t expect in that lane.
Furthermore, this also happened to 21 S*vage, who’s made a name for himself for trying to show off his pipes. Whether it’s on social media or at an Usher concert, NLE Choppa certainly has steep competition in this regard. Many folks in the comments section of The Neighborhood Talk‘s coverage of this Chris Brown cover demanded a collaboration between the two. Furthermore, maybe they can make a mixtape of sorts with other rappers who you’d never expect to sing some soulful jams on wax.
Jokes aside, though, the Memphis hitmaker is still quite proficient in his own lane. Perhaps he needs just a little bit more practice before he can hope to reach Chris Brown levels of vocal dexterity, at least in melodic and technical terms. But recent singles and collabs like the 21-year-old’s “Ice” with producers Aarne and Imanbek show that he’s still got that fire in him. Still, maybe this is just the start of a new phase in his career, or it’s just a fan being a fan.
Meanwhile, Chris Brown just released a new album 11:11, and it looks like it’ll perform pretty well on the charts. More importantly, though, it gave die-hard fans another collection of melodically engaging cuts with sultry production. Hopefully this isn’t the last C.B. cover that rappers bring us. For more news and the latest updates on NLE Choppa, stay up to date on HNHH.

it’s a list of potential fathers welcome to the circus
