PartyNextDoor “PND 4”: What We Know

March 19, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The wait for PARTYNEXTDOOR’s highly-anticipated fourth studio album PND 4 is almost over. This past weekend, he announced the album’s release date along with its third single, “Real Woman.” PND 4 sees PARTYNEXTDOOR continuing his legendary self-titled album series and marks his first full-length release in four years. Back in 2020, he dropped PARTYMOBILE, which included singles like “Loyal” featuring Drake and “Believe It” with Rihanna. Party began teasing PND 4 last year with cryptic hints on social media. He eventually announced its title alongside Drake at a “PARTYNEXTDOOR & Friends” show in Toronto.

Now, he is officially rolling out the album with official singles and a release date. Last week, the elusive Canadian R&B star sat down with Billboard for a rare interview. He provided context about its creation along with stories of his musical journey and biggest collaborations. As we await the album’s release, here is what we know so far about PARTYNEXTDOOR’s PND 4.

PND 4 Arrives Next Month

Last Thursday, PARTYNEXTDOOR premiered “Real Woman” as PND 4’s third single at a live performance at Billboard’s Stage at SXSW. At the end of the show, he revealed the album’s release date of April 26, 2024. Building further excitement for his latest effort, the release date and title are some of the only concrete details that he has shared. So far, he has not confirmed any possible collaborations with artists or producers. No tracklist or cover art has been revealed. One could speculate that the album’s artwork could potentially include the female silhouette that can be seen in both the release date announcement and the cover art for “Real Woman” and “Resentment.”

PARTYNEXTDOOR Is Confident In His Next Release

In his latest Billboard cover story, PARTYNEXTDOOR declared that PND 4 will be his “most focused project yet.” “This is the hardest I have ever worked on an album. This is the proudest I’ve felt. I’m excited to grind even more for the next [one]. I’m in love with how hard you should work for it,” he elaborated. Considering the classic status of the first two installments of PARTYNEXTDOOR, the singer is setting the bar quite high for himself. He also told Billboard that “he didn’t have that laser focus when it came to making his last two studio albums, PARTYNEXTDOOR 3 and PARTYMOBILE.” Admitting to “handling that sh*t like demos” on those albums, he said he was not “using everything” he learned as a producer, writer, and engineer, but promised to “never cheat on the quality of his art again.” This time, PARTYNEXTDOOR is clearly confident in his next release.

PND 4 Already Sounds Promising

So far, PND 4 already sounds promising, based on its singles. Ahead of the album’s release, we have received three different singles. In January 2023, PARTYNEXTDOOR released “Her Old Friends” and dropped off “Resentment” in July. The third and latest single, “Real Woman” coincides with the announcement of the album’s release date, Party’s Billboard cover story, and his recent live performances. There is no indication of whether a fourth single will drop before the album arrives, but there are numerous unreleased tracks that have become fan favorites.

Other Potential Songs

PARTYNEXTDOOR’s catalog of unreleased snippets is extensive with many of these tracks becoming cult classics despite no official drop. Even with three singles, numerous unreleased songs could land on PND 4. Since his last album in 2020, PARTYNEXTDOOR has been teasing new material on Instagram live. Unreleased tracks with fan-made titles like “Only One,” “Am I Wrong,” and “Would You Take Care Of Me” are possible contenders for the album’s tracklist. We will see what songs make the final cut on April 26.

A Tour Might Be Imminent

Part of PARTYNEXTDOOR’s Billboard interview centered around live performance. “Outside of the PartyNextDoor & Friends Toronto show, Party has only performed at a handful of festivals (like Las Vegas’ Lovers & Friends) and college shows since the pandemic’s live-music pause ended,” Heran Mamo writes in his article. However, these shows serve as a “prelude to Party’s next act,” as hinted by his manager, Tyler Henry. “We like to do a few each year to make sure we’re fresh and in front of people’s minds. It keeps us sharp for when a moment like this album comes,” he says.

PARTYNEXTDOOR’s recent performances at SXSW and Rolling Loud this past weekend are likely a part of this prelude. “Reconnecting with his fans live — and making sure the music he performs is of the highest possible quality — is, in the end, what fuels him,” Mamo writes. It is evident that performing live is an integral part of PARTYNEXTDOOR’s planned resurgence with PND 4, bringing his new material to life and reconnecting with his dedicated fanbase.

Strong performances from Asake, Rema, Ice Spice, Brent Faiyaz, Chloe Bailey, Coco Jones, and others made it all worthwhile — especially when the dastardly sun set for the day or was at least covered by clouds. Some improvements are definitely in store for the next edition of the festival, but the highs and lows of Broccoli City shouldn’t deter you from checking out their next showcase, especially if the necessary changes are made.”

PartyNextDoor Gives A Long-Awaited Release Date For ‘PartyNextDoor 4’ With The Enamored ‘Real Woman’

March 15, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It has been a while since we last heard from PartyNextDoor. The Canadian crooner’s last full-length release (Partymobile) came out in 2020, and while he re-released his Colours EP for streaming and dropped another EP, Partypack, in the years since, he’s flown pretty far under the radar for the past few years*. He’s back and is taking the rollout for his fourth studio album, PartyNextDoor 4, seriously, following up his most recent 2023 single “Resentment” with a new song, “Real Woman.”

*His reason for this? Being distracted by “relationships” — the very thing that fuels most of his creative content. “I get into relationships and then music becomes second,” he explained to Billboard.I ” think I’m going to take a break from relationships, a long break, and just get back to making music.”

Getting back to making music is just what he’s done. While he released sporadic singles last year — the aforementioned “Resentment” and “Her Old Friends” — he told Billboard, “This is the hardest I’ve ever worked on an album. This is the proudest I’ve felt.” He also explained how PartyNextDoor 4 would differ from the relatively disappointing showings on PND 3 and Partymobile. “I was still handling that sh-t like demos,” he noted. This time, he says, he won’t “cheat” the process again. He revealed the release date for the long-awaited album during his performance at Billboard’s SXSW show: April 26.

PARTYNEXTDOOR Wants To Give Everything He Has To A “Real Woman”

March 15, 2024 by newhiphopnews

There are a lot of talented R&B artists going today. Undoubtedly, one of the biggest fan-favorites in the modern era is PARTYNEXTDOOR. The OVO Sound signee has been delivering wavy, vibey, and standout sexy tracks for just a little over 11 years now. He is best known for his self-titled series that kicked off his career and were his first three releases. Soon, PARTYNEXTDOOR will be dropping the fourth installment and to prepare for it he is back with “Real Woman.”

Since 2020, PARTYNEXTDOOR has been fairly quiet from dropping new music. The Toronto native revealed why that has been the case in a recent interview with Billboard. “I get into relationships and then music becomes second. I think I’m going to take a break from relationships, a long break, and just get back to making music.”

Listen To “Real Woman” By PARTYNEXTDOOR

He also went on to mention his onstage anxieties and not using everything he has learned about making quality music to the best of his abilities. But PARTYNEXTDOOR is gearing up for a major return with “Real Woman (R e a l W o m a n).” On this track, which is looking like the third single for PARTYNEXTDOOR 4, he is singing about a love interest he sees a true future with. His stunning and sensual vocals are always a treat, and hopefully we get the album on April 26.

Ok it’s 4 AM and I’m about to turn these lights down
But first I’m about to tell you how I’m, proud

Drake Labels PARTYNEXTDOOR “The Real GOAT” Ahead Of New Single

March 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Drake is the biggest PARTYNEXTDOOR fan in the world, and he couldn’t be more exciting about the upcoming release of PARTYNEXTDOOR 4, or P4 for short. Moreover, the Toronto crooner, making his comeback very soon, announced yesterday (Monday, March 11) that he’s dropping another single for the project this Friday titled “Real Woman” following the previous one, “Resentment.” “The real [goat emoji] is back this Friday @partynextdoor,” Drizzy wrote of his OVO partner on Instagram in the caption of a post of the single’s cover art. It’s been a very long time since we heard from PND in a full-length capacity, and fans can’t wait to see how he comes back to the R&B and soft trap world.

Furthermore, Drake previously praised PARTYNEXTDOOR and previewed P4 while visiting his homecoming show in Toronto. “I’m going on tour but Party droppin’ PND 4,” he said back in May of last year. “First of all, can I just say on behalf of everybody in this room, can you come home more, please? Please! I would not be the artist I am if it wasn’t for you. And that’s not, like, even some, like, I get on stage with people and I’m nice sometimes. But this is really, actually, like, my favorite artist in the world and I love this guy.”

Elsewhere, during a recent Billboard interview, PARTYNEXTDOOR spoke on his feelings about P4. “This is the hardest I’ve ever worked on an album,” he shared with the publication. “This is the proudest I’ve felt. I’m excited to grind even more for the next [one]. I’m in love with how hard you should work for it.” In the same conversation, the 30-year-old recalled making “Come and See Me” with Drake.

“I went to see Drake in the studio in Toronto,” OVO Sound’s first signee revealed. “He just said, ‘Yo, I want to play this record.’ And the 40 beat, that beat was amazing. You know, you just felt it right away. And he had a hook idea on it. So we took it back maybe two months later. I was like, ‘You know what? I gotta find something for this.’ Me and Prep locked in an Airbnb and I recorded that song on the edge of a bed in an Airbnb. And yeah, I just didn’t know it was gonna be that. I love that record. It’s one of my favorite records. And that was just magic.” For more on Drake and PARTYNEXTDOOR, log back into HNHH.

Drake’s “For All The Dogs”: 5 Highlights

October 12, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Last Friday, Drake unleashed his eighth studio album, For All the Dogs. In the days since its release, the 23-track effort has been met with mixed reception from die-hard fans, casual listeners, and publications. Drake albums tend to divide listeners, and this album is no different. While celebrating his latest release, Drizzy showed that he was not afraid to clap back against his biggest critics, especially Joe Budden. He even sent shots at Parks, a co-host of The Joe Budden Podcast. Drake also posted a screenshot, laughing off harsh comments under HotNewHipHop’s original Take Care review on his Instagram story.

Now that For All the Dogs has been out long enough to establish itself among Drake’s most recent releases, here are five highlights from the album. This list focuses on instant favorites from For All the Dogs. Therefore, it excludes the previously-released singles “Slime You Out” featuring SZA and the Conductor Williams-produced “8am In Charlotte.” Listed in no particular order, take a look at the selections below.

For All The Dogs Starts Strong With “Virginia Beach”

Fans can always count on Drake for a compelling intro, which he provides on “Virginia Beach.” The instrumental features a reversed and sped-up sample from 40, guaranteed to excite fans. “Virginia Beach” also contains a phenomenal flip of “Wiseman” by Frank Ocean, a song originally meant for the Django Unchained soundtrack. It was eventually featured in the 2015 film Southpaw. “Wiseman” is a lesser-known Frank Ocean song as it only saw an official release on Ocean’s Tumblr page in 2012.

Further, For All the Dogs also references Frank Ocean’s “Pyramids” on “Tried Our Best,” which is another standout track. Drake tends to rap on his intros but opts to sing on “Virginia Beach,” setting the tone for an album filled with songs reminiscing on past relationships.

“First Person Shooter” feat. J. Cole

Arguably, the best song on For All the Dogs is “First Person Shooter,” which sees Drake and J. Cole reuniting for their first song since “Jodeci Freestyle.” Cole undoubtedly contributes the best feature on the album, continuing a run of incredible features throughout 2023. Over an energetic beat, he raps about numerous topics, including fake beefs and not falling off despite naming his next album, The Fall Off. Cole also compares himself and Drake to the “Spiderman meme” and says the two and Kendrick Lamar are the hardest MCs.

Drake supplies the energy on the chorus, boasting that he’s “big as the Super Bowl.” “First Person Shooter” also includes a beat switch where Drake flexes on his haters. He boasts that he’s a No. 1 song away from beating Michael Jackson’s Hot 100 Record and uses “a Grammy as a doorstop.” J. Cole amazes with a stellar verse, and Drake spits his toughest bars on “First Person Shooter.”

“Bahamas Promises”

This highlight on For All the Dogs is a slow ballad where Drake voices his frustrations with a girl named Hayley. He sings about her “broken pinky promises” and that she “f*cked up [their] Bahamas trip.” Though tired of her apologies, he still misses her as he reminisces about what they could have been. “Bahamas Promises” is easily Drake’s best vocal performance on the album. A vignette of raw emotion, it is also one of the better relationship-focused tracks that feels more sincere than the album’s other R&B tracks.

Drake Gets In His Feelings On “Drew A Picasso”

“Drew a Picasso” is one of the more vulnerable moments on For All the Dogs. It stands out with its moody instrumental, reminiscent of the Views era. Drake sings about a relationship that came to a tumultuous end, longing for the girl to come back to him. “You’re mine,” he sings in the chorus. “I can’t picture you with him, that’s just so embarrassing / I want to die,” he continues before ruminating on his regrets and taking digs at her new man. Drake is clearly in his feelings on this song, which is one of his artistic specialties.

“Members Only” feat. PARTYNEXTDOOR

Drake reconnects with PARTYNEXTDOOR on “Members Only.” The Toronto natives and OVO labelmates have never missed when collaborating, and this track is no exception. This downbeat R&B song sees Drake and PARTYNEXTDOOR crooning about a girl who is so tight with his crew that she is a member of the “gangy.” The catchy melodies recall previous collaborations like “Since Way Back” and “Come and See Me.” A particularly noteworthy line is when Drake sings, “Feel like I’m bi, cause you’re one of the guys, girl.” It is certainly a humorous lyric reminiscent of the “say that you’re a lesbian, girl me too” lyric from “Girls Want Girls.” Ultimately, Drake and PARTYNEXTDOOR are an unbeatable duo when it comes to their heartfelt R&B songs. Their latest collaboration is a definitive highlight on For All the Dogs.

Drake Name Drops The Weeknd On New Song That Sparks Diss Debate

October 6, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Late last night Drake dropped his highly-anticipated new album For All The Dogs. Fans are still processing the record’s 23 songs and numerous high-profile features. The tracklist includes SZA, Bad Bunny, J. Cole, 21 Savage, Sexyy Red, Teezo Touchdown, Yeat, PARTYNEXTDOOR, Chief Keef, and Lil Yachty. One person it doesn’t include is The Weeknd. While he and Drake have collaborated in the past, The Weeknd claims that he’s done doing features and that his appearance on Diddy’s album last month was his final guest appearance.

One way The Weeknd does appear on For All The Dogs, however, is in the lyrics. In the second half of the record the song “All The Parties” contains lyrics that reference him directly. “My b*tches playin’ PND and them, the shorties only listen to The Weeknd. The exact meaning behind the lyrics is still up for debate but some jumped immediately to it being a diss. Others pointed out that PND is a deeper cut for many Drake fans and still has a closer connection to the rapper artistically. Even then though, it gets into the long-running rumors of beef between PND and The Weeknd dating back to their time at OVO. Check out the entire song below.

Drake May Have Dissed The Weeknd

Another artist that doesn’t appear on For All The Dogs is Nicki Minaj. After Drake had initially promised a new track from the long-running collaborators he seemingly didn’t deliver. That has Nicki’s notoriously rabid fanbase of Barbz pretty heated at the rapper online.

Shortly after the release of For All The Dogs, Drake claimed that he would be taking a break from music for a little while. He’s released extremely prolifically for years including two entire albums last year. Now he will seemingly take a break for a while to focus on his own health. Do you think Drake’s mention of The Weeknd on one of his new songs is intended as a diss? Let us know in the comment section below.
