The Weeknd And Playboi Carti Aim To Become ‘Timeless’ With Their New Single

September 27, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Playboi Carti has become one of the most in-demand featured artists in music this year, signing on for collaborations with Camila Cabello and Travis Scott, popping out for Lana Del Rey’s Coachella-headlining set, and now, teaming up with The Weeknd for the second single from Abel’s upcoming album, Hurry Up Tomorrow. The new song is the two artists’ first collaboration since 2023’s “Popular” with Madonna.

The Weeknd first revealed the cover art for Hurry Up Tomorrow on September 7 after teasing the new album for months before. In July, he posted a video to social media that declared “there are three chapters to this tale,” leading to speculation that his then-rumored album would constitute the capstone to a trilogy made up of his last two releases, After Hours and Dawn FM. Then, he shared a second screenshot from another eerie video, furthering the mystery and the anticipation for the announcement. Finally, he dropped the video for the lead single, “Dancing In The Flames,” seemingly building on the overarching narrative from the past four years. We’re looking forward to seeing what it all means when Hurry Up Tomorrow is finally out.

You can watch the video for The Weeknd’s “Timeless” featuring Playboi Carti above.

The Weeknd And Playboi Carti Transcend With New Single “TIMELESS”

September 27, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The Weeknd and Playboi Carti have really dominated the month of September. Both artists dropped singles after anticipated hype cycles for their upcoming albums. In the case of Playboi Carti, it was the first new music fans had heard since 2020. The notion of getting two songs in one month would have seemed like an impossibility just a few short weeks ago. Yet, here we are. The Weeknd and Carti have dropped their joint single “TIMELESS,” and it lives up to its lofty title. The song is bassy, catchy, and a perfect blend of both artists’ singular styles.

The Weeknd takes center stage, which makes sense given that he’s been doing most of the promo. He absolutely skates over the beat with verses and a chorus that harkens back to his Trilogy aesthetic. This is most evident around the 1:50 mark, when his soaring vocals perfectly mess with the drums. It sounds great. The synth work littered throughout “TIMELESS,” though, feels more indebted to Playboi Carti and the music he’s been teasing. He gives the song a much more dangerous and gritty feel than Weeknd’s previous single, “Dancing In the Flames.” He also moves away from the Future-like flow and cadence he busted out on “ALL RED.” Carti sounds more discernibly Carti here, and it plays to the song’s benefit.

Let us know what you think of this brand-new track, in the comments section down below. 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.

The Weeknd And Playboi Carti Perfectly Blend Their Styles

Quotable Lyrics:

Ever since I was a jit, knew I was the sh*t (Yeah)
Shawty keep wanna come ’round, she wanna get hit (Yuh)
She think she the main because I keep her by my side (Yeah)
Double-O, bust down the watch, you know that I’m timeless

The Weeknd Reveals Release Date For Playboi Carti Collab “TIMELESS”

September 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The Weeknd and Playboi Carti are kindred spirits. Both have built their musical legacies on mystery and intrigue. The Weeknd has become one of the biggest pop stars on the planet, and Carti has become one of the most obsessed-over rappers. They both have an affinity for woozy, nocturnal sounds, though, so a second collab (after “Popular”) seems like a no-brainer. Fans have been waiting to get an official version of the Weeknd and Carti song “TIMELESS” for quite some time. And we finally have a release date.

The Weeknd confirmed the release on September 25. The singer performed “TIMELESS” alongside Carti during his one night performance Sao Paolo earlier this month. A release date anytime in the near future would have been considered a win by fans, but The Weeknd went above and beyond. He confirmed that “TIMELESS” would be coming out this Friday, September 27. It will mark the second official release from The Weeknd’s upcoming album, Hurry Up Tomorrow. The first, “Dancing In the Flames,” was praised by fans and critics alike for its production.

It’s a good time to be a Weeknd fan, but it’s an even better time to be a Playboi Carti fan. Carti has been musically dormant since the release of Whole Lotta Red in 2020. Getting the rapper to drop new music, in an official capacity, is like pulling teeth. Incredibly, “TIMELESS” will mark the second official Carti song to drop in a single month. The eccentric rapper released a single for his upcoming project, “ALL RED,” on September 13. “TIMELESS” will also mark the first time a Weeknd and Carti collab will end up on a “real” album. Their previous song, “Popular,” appeared on the soundtrack for the HBO series The Idol.

The song (and the series) was panned by critics, but The Weeknd maintained that he had a special musical connection with Playboi Carti. “I’m proud of it. I’m definitely proud of it,” he told Apple Music. “Me and Carti had this… I mean, we’ve jammed out before. We’ve had a different version of this song prior. So I’ve had these vocals for a while, and I’ve kind of just worked around it.” Here’s hoping their second collab delivers on the sky high expectations that fans have built.

The Weeknd Shared A Teaser Of ‘Timeless,’ His Ominous-Looking Collaboration With Playboi Carti

September 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Spooky season is right around the corner, and it looks like Abel Tesfaye is getting in the mood early. At least, that’s how it appears in the teaser The Weeknd shared from his upcoming Hurry Up, Tomorrow single, “Timeless.” In a tweet, he shared an ominous-looking screenshot from the music video featuring the highly demanded guest star Playboi Carti with both artists draped in their signature black-on-black aesthetics. Carti appears to be wearing a samurai helmet, while Abel himself sticks with his now-familiar shades.

The two artists previously collaborated on the soundtrack from The Weeknd’s much-maligned HBO series, The Idol, teaming up with Madonna on “Popular.” That song, intriguingly enough, also appeared in Fortnite during the game’s Fortnite Festival performance. At the time, Tesfaye said of the collaboration: “I’m proud of it. I’m definitely proud of it. Me and Carti had this… I mean, we’ve jammed out before. We’ve had a different version of this song prior. So I’ve had these vocals for a while, and I’ve kind of just worked around it, and then kind of kept it in the tuck. But now it felt like it was time.”

Whether the vocals for “Timeless” also derived from this jam session is unknown, but they’ve displayed compelling chemistry before, so to see this record also succeed in that respect wouldn’t be a surprise. “Timeless” will be the second single from Hurry Up, Tomorrow after “Dancing In The Flames.”

Adam 22 Claims That Playboi Carti & Kendrick Lamar Have A Collab Coming Very Soon

September 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Throughout 2024, you could make arguments for multiple artists being the rapper of the year. Kendrick Lamar is perhaps the most MVP candidate, thanks to slaying the beast that is Drake. From his diss tracks to his surprise feature on “Like That” and being named the Super Bowl Halftime performer, he’s essentially taken back the crown as the biggest in the game. Then, there’s a case to be made for Playboi Carti as well. His numerous releases on Instagram had his fans in an absolute chokehold, especially with his album being teased. Furthermore, he’s been on some of the biggest songs of the year such as “CARNIVAL” and “Type S***”.

You also can’t forget about “ALL RED”, which has over 51 million streams in just 10 days. It’s built even more excitement around the now confirmed, I AM MUSIC, which could be coming before year’s end. However, despite all of these incredible achievements, each rapper has done things in their own way, especially in terms of their music. It’s why a lot of people aren’t buying a recent claim from controversial hip-hop media figure, Adam22, that they have something in the works. The No Jumper host was casually chatting with one of his most frequent guests, Wack 100, and pretty confidently brought this up.

Adam 22 Says Playboi Carti & Kendrick Lamar Are “Gonna Change The Game”

He says that Playboi is on his way to Compton to shoot a music video with K. Dot. Adam22 says “it’s gonna change the game” and that the former was the one to reach out. He even goes onto claim that Carti dropped the “bisexual vampire style” because Lamar would only do it if he made that change. Still, “The Day The Party Died” and its message about the state of hip-hop has fans not buying this one bit. “That’s like Jesus and Satan linking up”, one IG user jokes. This would break the internet, but we can agree this is a stretch by Adam.

What are your thoughts on Adam22 confidently stating that Playboi Carti and Kendrick Lamar have a collaboration in the works? Are you not buying this like most people online or are you holding out hope? Would this be the biggest team-up of the year? 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 Adam22, Playboi Carti, and Kendrick Lamar.

Playboi Carti Seemingly Takes Shots At Lucki In Cryptic Instagram Promo

September 19, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Playboi Carti is really coming out of his shell. The rapper has spent most of his career dodging interviews and anything resembling a normal rollout. It’s been a long time since fans have even heard him say more than a few words at a time. All that changed on September 18, though. Playboi Carti uploaded a video to Instagram in which he teased his upcoming single and trash-talked another rapper. Carti fails to mention any names, but all signs point to his target being Lucki.

Playboi Carti posts up in a parking lot and seemingly rambles for a minute and a half. He mentions the title of his upcoming collab with The Weeknd, “Timeless,” but he seemed more intent on mocking his ops. “Should’ve signed to the O,” the rapper asserts. “I ain’t worried bout nobody, n****s can talk, say whatever they wanna say about me.” The “O,” is of course, a reference to Carti’s label, Opium Records. Lucki has not only had beef with Carti over the last few weeks, but with another Opium artist, Destroy Lonely, as well. Lucki and Lonely argued over a woman on Instagram Live, which eventually snowballed into a conflict with label boss Carti.

Playboi Carti and Lucki have been engaged in a start-and-stop beef throughout September. The former thought Lucki was sneak-dissing him, which led to Lucki reaching out and clarifying his stance. The two men had a DM exchange, which Playboi Carti eventually shared on IG. “Like I said from the jump, I don’t dislike you,” Lucki explained. The rapper explained that his social media post proclaiming “crosses up” was not intended for Carti, or any of the artists on the Opium label. That said, Lucki did poke fun at the Opium boss by suggesting he was sensitive. “You just insecure because you don’t love Jesus like that,” Lucki concluded.

Playboi Carti may still be annoyed with Lucki, but he has a lot more going on than a petty squabble. The rapper is currently rolling out his first album in four years. “All Red” has been well-received by fans, even though some feel the single sounds a bit too much like Future. The rapper also confirmed that a video for the song is coming soon. It’ll be interesting to see if Carti carries the trash talk over to the album. If so, then Lucki might be catching a few strays on wax.

Playboi Carti Drops Cameo-Filled “All Red” Visualizer And Teases New Video

September 16, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Playboi Carti is really giving fans an album rollout. There was a period where it seemed as though getting new music from the rapper would be harder than getting a release date out of Frank Ocean. Playboi Carti has made good on his promises since Friday, though. He dropped the pre-order links for his upcoming album, MUSIC, and released the lead single, “All Red,” a few hours later. Then, on Monday, September 16, Playboi Carti dropped the visualizer for the song. The first visualizer of his his entire career.

The visualizer is as slick and cool as the song itself. Fans can be seen walking into a convenience store and buying the Billboard Magazine with Playboi Carti on the cover. The visualizer then shifts to a more traditional club setting. Carti can be seen partying alongside a star-studded roster of guests. It may seen counterintuitive to think of Playboi Carti as a rapper with lots of industry connections. He’s the posterboy for intrigue and mysteriousness. Some fans are going to be put off by the fact that he stacked his official visualizer with cameos. That said, it’s cool to see him partying alongside people like NAV and Meek Mill.

NAV And Meek Mill Appear In Playboi Carti’s Visualizer

It works perfect as a music video for “All Red.” Fans are used to getting so little from the rapper that even a song visualizer seems like a luxury. Fortunately, there’s more “All Red” content around the corner. Carti confirmed that the official music video for the single is still in the works. “Not official video,” he wrote in the caption of the visualizer link. Christmas has seemingly come early for Playboi Carti fans. At least, it’s shaping up to be earlier than expected.

Playboi Carti’s “All Red” has garnered attention for reasons both good and bad. Everybody is happy that the elusive rapper is back with a new song. Some, however, have pointed out the similarities between his new sound and that of Future. Carti dropped the baby voice and is now using a deep register that sounds eerily like Pluto. There are even those who are convinced that Future is an uncredited feature on “All Red” given how much it sounds like signature delivery. All stylistic debate aside, though, we are all eager to see what the music video for “All Red” has in store.

Playboi Carti Previews New Song For An Infant In Viral Clip

September 16, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Playboi Carti has been a major talking point in the hip-hop world this weekend for a couple of reasons. For one, he finally gave us more details on his in-demand project, I AM MUSIC. The eventual third album doesn’t have a release date still, but we now have an album cover (multiple ones at that), bundles and merch, as well as a lead single. “ALL RED” looks to be just that despite all of the previous IG and YouTube exclusive releases we got earlier this year. While there is a healthy number of people that are messing with the song, there’s an equally large camp that’s not.

Carti pretty much sounds like Future on the cut, and with how long listeners have waited on him, they felt let down. But rest assured, there’s still tons of hype surrounding this release. Just check out this little boy’s reaction to another new song snippet. The video is going quite viral, as Carti and the infant hilariously but adorably share a wholesome moment in public.

For about 20 seconds both of them dance together and even share a high five at the end of it. Fans made some comical remarks about the clip but are also excited about the track’s potential. “Lil bro dont know who carti is or anything just vibin to the music. Best way to know your music hitting”, one IG user says. Another says, “that might be the best sounding snippet of all time”. “Baby knows it’s a classic”, someone else adds. It definitely has an ear-grabbing sound to it, and Carti is seemingly bringing back the OG delivery for this one, too. Obviously, there’s no word on if this will drop, but we hope it does soon.

What are your thoughts on Playboi Carti previewing a new song for a baby in public? Is this one of the most random yet adorable videos you have seen this year? Are you still excited for I AM MUSIC to drop soon? How do you feel about “ALL RED”? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments.

Playboi Carti Claims The NYPD Shut Down His Birthday Event

September 15, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Playboi Carti celebrated his birthday a day late in New York on Saturday (September 14), but the city apparently did not have a fun gift for him. Moreover, he took to his Instagram accounts to claim that the NY Police Department shut down his party in Brooklyn for unknown reasons. Although, Carti did allude to a massive crowd at it, which you can see in a video clip down below. “NYPD SHUT ME DOWN,” he wrote on his Instagram Story. “I TREID SOOO HARD TO CELEBRATE WITH YOU TONIGHT THE MUSIC WAS ABOUT TO BE INSANE I WAS OUTSIDE THE WHOLE TIME THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD LOCK ME UP IF I GOT OUT THE CAR ITS MY F***IN BIRTHDAY WTF.”

“TBH YALL DID YALL THANG 10,000 PEOPLE OUTSIDE VENUE ONLY FIT 3K PD FOLKS TRYING LOCK ME UNFORTUNATELY THANK U NEW YORK. THIIS MY 2ND HOME I GOT YAL,” the Atlanta creative added in a repost on his alternate IG account. Playboi Carti celebrated his actual birthday on Friday by dropping a new single, “ALL RED.” Check out his comments and a clip of the event down below.

Elsewhere, Playboi Carti was recently at the center of a fan debate and discussion thanks to when he posted some private DMs between him and Lucki. Apparently, he felt like the Chicago rapper dissed him online, but the “Courtesy Of” rapper was quick to clarify this. “Like I said from the jump, I don’t dislike you,” he expressed. “You think, yesterday, because I bought a chain and I said, ‘crosses up,’ that I was sneak dissing you because you made a song that said, ‘upside down cross, tat’ on my neck,’ but it wasn’t that though. I just bought a chain and was saying, ‘crosses up.’ You just insecure because you don’t love Jesus like that.”

In terms of other IG activity, Playboi Carti also clarified that a Dedication-inspired cover for his new album isn’t actually the official artwork. We still don’t know what that will be. But with pre-orders live right now, we expect to know sooner rather than later. Then again, this is Carti we’re talking about. We might be in the dark for a little while longer…

Playboi Carti Turns It “ALL RED” On Our New “Fire Emoji” Playlist Update: Stream

September 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

We watched the party die this week, but that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy the new releases hip-hop had for us. Moreover, our latest Fire Emoji playlist update is here to round up the best of the best that the genre offered. Leading the way is a self-birthday gift from Playboi Carti, “ALL RED.” It’s presumably the lead single to his highly anticipated upcoming album I AM MUSIC (or just MUSIC, apparently). Over a rage-ready F1LTHY beat, the Atlanta creative does his best Future impression according to many fans online, which may or may not be a deal-breaker for you. Still, it goes too hard to not shout it out for a try.

Elsewhere, we also got The Pre-Party on this Fire Emoji update, a two-pack of posthumous Juice WRLD singles ahead of a rumored album release. “Lightyears” with Young Thug is a mellow, emotive, and guitar-backed trap ballad that shows off their vocal chemistry and has a characteristically catchy chorus. On the other hand, “World Tour (Aquafina)” is a more lively cut that plays with the late Chicago icon’s earliest sonic explorations. Seeing this duality pop up again was a welcome treat.

In addition, Fire Emoji also features Eminem’s deluxe version of The Death Of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce), the Expanded Mourner’s Edition. The new addition on here (excluding previous digital exclusives) is the “Fuel” remix with Shady Records signees WESTSIDE BOOGIE and GRIP, plus a revamped Em verse. Another hot release this week was The Alchemist’s “Ferraris In The Rain” featuring ScHoolboy Q, which came with an album announcement. The legendary producer boasts his lyrical skills over a triumphant instrumental, bolstered by a short but sweet Q appearance.

Speaking of collaborations, Joey Bada$$ and Chlöe mellowed out on “TELL ME,” a sultry and woozy combination of rap and R&B. Finally, we wanted to highlight Ferg’s new single “Off White Rozay” for its peppy beat, charismatic performance, and frenetic energy. Check out our Fire Emoji playlist above and let us know in the comments section down below what your favorite release in this latest update was – as well as what else we missed this week. As always, come back to HNHH for the hottest new hip-hop around the clock.
