Travis Scott Reveals Why He Played “FE!N” 10 Times In A Row At Recent Show

by

Earlier this year Travis Scott released his highly-anticipated and feature-packed new album UTOPIA. The album has spawned some big hits like “I KNOW ?” and “MELTDOWN” with Drake and spent multiple weeks at the top spot on the Billboard 200. Unsurprisingly, Travis turned around pretty quickly to take the album on an absolutely massive tour. The CIRCUS MAXIMUS tour took off earlier this year and has stunned audiences in numerous stadiums across North America.

In particular, Travis Scott delivered a major performance at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center earlier this week. In the immediate aftermath of the show one particular story caught on. That surrounded one particular moment when a moving piece of stage decor bumped into Travis, knocking him down to a lower point on the stage. The moment was nearly a disaster though he thankfully avoided any kind of injury and was able to continue performing. But when he sat down with Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show he discussed an entirely different element of the Brooklyn show.

During his concert in Brooklyn, Travis Scott performed his Playboi Carti-featuring hit “FE!N” 10 times. When he sat down with Fallon a few days later he explained why he chose to do it. “Man, I have the best fans in the world and I go off the energy they give me, and they were wild that night, and so I just got even wilder,” Scott explains. He promised a similarly exciting show up next when he will hit up another legendary NY venue. “Tonight I plan on going even crazier at Madison Square Garden.”

Scott also narrowly avoided injury while sitting courtside at a recent Knicks game. He had a loose ball fly in his direction that thankfully avoided hitting him, but instead spilled a significant portion of his drink. What do you think of Travis Scott performing “FE!N” 10 times in a row during a recent show in Brooklyn? Do you think you would vibe with the song being performed so many times consecutively? Let us know in the comment section below.

For those who still use Tidal, Jay-Z dropped a new playlist of his favorite songs of 2023 on the app (revealed via a live session) — and some of the picks might be surprising. Of course, the rapper included his wife, Beyoncé, and her new “My House” track that appeared in her Renaissance Tour film.

He also gave a nod to some other close musicians. Drake was included on Jay-Z’s list, with his song “8am In Charlotte,” the second single from the Canadian rapper’s For All The Dogs album, according to HotNewHipHop.

Travis Scott and Playboi Carti’s “Fe!n” collaboration was also one of Jay’s favorites. He also included JID and Lil Yachty, who teamed up on the “Half Doin Dope” track.

In recent years, Jay-Z’s year-end playlist of his favorite songs has become a fun tradition. Through scrolling around on Tidal, it seems he has made the annual lists since 2018.

Continue scrolling to see a few other songs Jay-Z loved this year.

God Isn’t Supposed To Play Favorites, But God Texted Playboi Carti ‘You’re The Best Of All Time’

by

Last Christmas, Playboi Carti ended his social media hiatus to vaguely write two things on X (formerly Twitter): “Hello Twitter” and “love all my supporters it’s time.” Understandably, fans took this as the beginning of a musical rollout, but Carti made them wait another year. Last week, he dropped his single “2024,” and on Tuesday, December 19, he surprise-dropped another song, “H00DByAir,” alongside a video in the form of an Instagram Reel posted by Opium.

Carti remained active on Instagram over the last 24 hours, re-sharing praise for “H00DByAir” to his Instagram Story, including this post by Schoolboy Q and screenshots of texts from, um, unlikely sources.

“Yooo on the flight bumping this sh*t!!!” someone saved under the contact name “Sex” texted Carti. “Congrats dear, f*ck yeah it’s so so good!!!” That was followed by a screenshot from God — or, a contact saved as “God” — texting, “Biggest in the world. You’re the best of all time. The greatest.”

Perhaps the main focus should be what all of this activity says about when Carti will finally drop his first album since 2020’s Whole Lotta Red — widely believed to be titled I Am Music based upon Carti’s Instagram profile picture as well as his usage of the #IAmMusic hashtag — but I am way more interested in finding out who “God” and “Sex” are.

It should also be noted that Carti posted “YVES” in the same lettering as his “I AM MUSIC” profile picture. Complex chalked up that as Carti clarifying the spelling of his newborn daughter’s name, which was initially assumed to be “Eve.” When “H00DByAir” dropped on Tuesday night, December 19, many people noticed that Carti announced his newest child toward the end of the song with the lyrics, “I was 24 when I had lil’ Onyx / Then I had a daughter, I had a daughter too / 27 when I had Yves / Now I can finally sleep.”

Playboi Carti Seemingly Reveals He Welcomed A New Baby In His Surprise ‘H00DByAir’ Song

by
Playboi Carti Wireless Festival 2022

Playboi Carti has had fans in a chokehold, wondering when he’ll finally drop his followup to his first-career No. 1 album, Whole Lotta Red, which arrived on Christmas Day in 2020. Last Christmas, Carti returned to social media and appeared to tease that new music was imminent. It wasn’t until last week that he released a new song, “2024,” but fans didn’t have to wait another year for the next development.

On Tuesday, December 19, Carti posted a video to Instagram Story. It features someone screaming (to put it lightly), “CARTI DROPPIN’ AGAIN [EXPLETIVE] TONIGHT!” Written atop the video is, “9:00 PARENTAL ADVISORY EXPLICIT CONTENT TUESDAY.”

Shortly thereafter, Carti reshared an Instagram Reel posted by Opium, captioned, “H00DBYAIR #IAMMUSIC.”

Toward the end of the song, Carti raps, “I was 24 when I had lil Onyx / 27 when I had Eve.” As pointed out by XXL, people are assuming that the bar serves as an announcement that Carti has welcomed a baby named Eve. Carti welcomed Onyx, his son with ex Iggy Azalea, in 2020. It must be noted that Carti was arrested for allegedly choking his pregnant girlfriend last December, as reported by TMZ.

“According to the arrest affidavit, obtained by TMZ, the woman told police the rapper grabbed her by her throat and pushed her, holding her neck until she could barely breathe,” the outlet reported in February. “She even told cops she thought she was going to die. Police say the woman told officers she’s been in a relationship with Playboi Carti for two years, has lived with him since July 2022 and was 14 weeks pregnant at the time of the alleged incident on December 20.”

The “H00DByAir” video features appearances by Destroy Lonely, Homixide Gang, and Ken Carson — fellow Opium Collective members and openers on Carti’s Antagonist Tour, which was postponed in August to 2024.

The “#IAMMUSIC” hashtag all but confirms what was already widely accepted as fact. Carti is reportedly gearing up to release an album “early next year (currently with a tentative release date in January),” per Hypebeast. Earlier this month, Carti posted a word graphic to a since-expired Instagram story reading, “I AM MUSIC,” which currently serves as Carti’s Instagram profile picture, so it’s believed that I Am Music is the album’s title.

Playboi Carti’s “H00DBYAIR” Single Helps Usher In His Next Era

by

Few rappers have fanbases that ride for them as hard as the Vamps do for Playboi Carti. As he moves toward dropping off his next LP, the Whole Lotta Red hitmaker is feeling their support more than ever before. As they wait for new music from their favourite rapper, many have returned to streaming his 2020 effort, which features Kanye West, Kid Cudi, and Future.

After returning with “2024” this past weekend, Carti promised that if online plays continued to increase, he would share more music ahead of the new year. Today (December 19), his Instagram feed lit up with the previously teased “H00DBYAIR,” which is receiving rave reviews so far in the comments. “How do you drop a song [in] the last week of this year and it’s still better than everything else dropped from the last 350 days?” one user asked.

“Better than Kanye,” another person argued. The Yeezy founder’s Vultures project with Ty Dolla Sign was expected to hit streamers earlier this month. However, sample clearance issues are causing delays, and West now hopes to share his album on New Years Eve. Once both rappers have unleashed their latest work, we’re curious to see which one will offer more replay value.

Check out Playboi Carti’s latest single, “H00DBYAIR,” exclusively on his Instagram (for the time being, at least) above.

Playboi Carti Is Bringing The Extravagant Vibes Only For ‘2024,’ As He Shared His Confident New Song

by

Playboi Carti dropped his new song, “2024,” just in time for the new year that’s approaching. The track is rumored to be the first preview of his upcoming project, I Am Music, which, according to Hypebeast, might drop in January.

“Yeah, yeah, you came back and you fell, uh / Second place, can’t be in my face, oh, nah / Deep pockets, they think I’m rockin’ Chanel,” he raps, according to Genius, as he points out his champion mentality and extravagant tendencies. “Fat wallet, lil’ b*tch, you know I got here / Out of pocket with your b*tch, Chanel / I’ma grow me some horns, baby, I’m from hell.”

Right now, as a surprise drop from the rapper, the song is only available to listen to on YouTube. However, the release came complete with a music video that matched the energies. It opens with Playboi Carti showing off his car collection and designer luggage, as he performs in his garage. He also unwinds on the hood of a few of the cars, as he throws some money in the air — all while maintaining his rap skills over an entertaining beat.

Later in the video, he dances around with some friends outside of a gas station.

Check out Playboi Carti’s new song, “2024,” above.

Playboi Carti’s “2024” Is Turning Into An Overnight Sensation

by

Playboi Carti’s fanbase has to be as juiced as they have ever been since the rollout of Whole Lotta Red. Over the past several days we have gotten tons of updates on the Georgia rapper’s upcoming record, Music. That is at least what Genius has on its page. We have also seen I AM MUSIC stemming from Carti’s Instagram account as well as the album cover.

Furthermore, the elusive artist has teased snippets of songs, as well as the lead single. “Different Day” was released on Carti’s Opium music label Instagram account last week. Based on the sound of this track, he is going back to the trap sound. It harkens back to the Cath Carti era in some aspects. It has a more eerie, dreamy, and nocturnal element tone this time around.

Listen To “2024” By Playboi Carti

“2024” fits that bill to some extent, too. If it was not obvious enough already, the view count on this music video will tangibly prove how long his fans have been waiting for new stuff. It is essentially blowing up overnight, with 3.1 million views and it holds the number one trending spot for music on YouTube. While Carti delivers a dynamic performance featuring both his high-pitch and deeper voice from “FE!N,” the production is another key component. Kanye West, Ojivolta, and Earl on the Beat did a great job at creating a hypnotic beat that instantly grabs your attention.

What are your initial thoughts on this brand-new song, “2024,” by Playboi Carti? Does this song have amped for the release of his forthcoming album, Music? Out of the two songs we have gotten so far, which is one better? Will this be Carti’s best project when it drops? 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 Playboi Carti.

Kanye West Invites Playboi Carti To Miami Listening Party With Ty Dolla Sign

by

Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign’s collab album is apparently still in the works despite multiple delays, cancellations, pulled concerts, and more antics. Moreover, apparently the two are hosting a listening party referred to as a “VULTURES RAVE” in Sawgreen Mills in the Miami area, as the shopping center is in Sunrise, Florida. Per social media posts from the singer, it will take place on Tuesday (December 12) at 12AM midnight. As such, it seems like each artist is also taking steps to make sure everyone who they want there will be there. For Ye, that includes a familiar face who he executive-produced an album for three years ago.

Furthermore, Playboi Carti continued his hot streak of social media activity recently by sharing a DM from him. “It’s ye checking in family,” Kanye’s message reads, according to his Whole Lotta Red collaborator’s recent Instagram Story post. “Got your number from wheezy.” Then, he included a screenshot of Ty Dolla $ign’s announcement of this “rave,” which is most likely just a listening party. However, it’s still quite likely that this is just a ruse to put together some other shindig or party, as we don’t know the explicit details of it.

Playboi Carti Shares Kanye West’s Invitation To Ty Dolla $ign Collab Album Party

Not only that, but this also brings two album rollouts together, something which only became possible for Kanye West and Playboi Carti this week. For those unaware, the latter fully kicked off his I AM MUSIC campaign, hyping fans up with snippets and a lot of social media interactions with other stars and potential collaborators. As such, it’s no surprise that the Atlanta rage exponent couldn’t help but share the good news from the Chicago rapper. Does this mean that we’ll get both projects at around the same time?

It’s too early to know for sure, but it wouldn’t be a surprising coincidence given that Ye and Carti have worked together before. With the former dropping new snippets of his own, many fans out there are reckoning with their individual controversies which have sullied excitement for these new releases. We’ll see if they contain some answers or accountability in this regard. On that note, keep checking in with HNHH for the latest news and updates on Kanye West and Playboi Carti.

Playboi Carti Wants Frank Ocean To Drop Snippet, Shouts Out Young Dabo On IG

by

Considering the type of music that each of them makes, Playboi Carti and Frank Ocean have far more in common than they probably should. They’re both guests on the song “RAF” with A$AP Rocky, Lil Uzi Vert, and more, and they’re also two notoriously silent, mysterious, and very, very sought after artists with ardent fanbases. Now that the rollout for I AM MUSIC is underway, it seems like the Whole Lotta Red MC is challenging his closed-off counterpart to follow suit. Moreover, Carti recently shared an Instagram DM that he sent to the Odd Future singer that connects the arduous desire that both fanbases have for new music from them.

At 3:26AM local time, Playboi Carti wrote the following to Frank Ocean: “twin, Post a snippet or some if it’s up den it’s up ? Wat? U scared ?” It’s quite the comical exchange, especially considering that he did drop a snippet of his own around the same time that Carti was unveiling his rollout and posting more and more stuff. Do they want to keep competing for who can wait the longest without feeding their die-hards? Honestly, we don’t blame them; it’s kind of funny how the fanbases found kindred spirits in each other.

More importantly, though, Playboi Carti also shouted out other people for promoting this rollout. One of them– the most wholesome of these to see– was to YouTuber and Streamer Young Dabo, whose reaction videos to popular albums within the hip-hop realm and beyond have garnered him a lot of online love. In particular, the Atlanta native shared the social media star’s reaction to his newest song and music video, which is only available online as of writing this article. In a video posted to his IG Story, Dabo tearfully expressed his gratitude and happiness at finding out that one of his idols gave him a cosign.
