Tommy Richman & Kehlani Shine Bright On Our New “R&B Season” Playlist Update: Stream

September 1, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Fall is officially upon us, and we have some fresh and exciting new music releases to round up on our latest R&B Season update. First up is the new project from Kehlani, following up her previous album this year with the anticipatory and vibe-filled While We Wait 2. If you’re looking for a particular highlight from this new record to get you started, we’d recommend “When He’s Not There” featuring Lucky Daye. Elsewhere, we also wanted to highlight the newest single from one of this year’s breakout stars: Tommy Richman’s “THOUGHT YOU WERE THE ONE.” It’s a more melancholy and dramatic take on the formula that shot him up into superstardom on “MILLION DOLLAR BABY.”

Also on our R&B Season playlist update is the new single from Victoria Monét and Usher, “SOS (Sex On Sight).” If you’re in the need of more ’90s or 2000s-style R&B jams, then this classic and soulful take is exactly up your alley. However, there are plenty of other artists that could be characterized with this genre that aren’t only fusing it with many other sounds, but aren’t always making R&B in any way. One example is Fousheé, whose excellent new single “100 bux” is more of a guitar-led alternative jam.

Back to more traditional R&B vibes, though: Muni Long came through with her new album Revenge, and there are many songs that live up to this title. For example, “The Baddest” speaks on a tough relationship and on toxicity with a drama-filled string and snap beat, plus some ethereal vocal runs. Another mention on this playlist update is Mustafa’s new single ahead of his next album. The track is titled “Old Life,” and there’s a very palpable sense of nostalgia and tenderness that is captivating to witness.

Finally, we’d be remiss not to mention Freddie Gibbs’ remix of Leon Thomas’ “MUTT.” If you were already a fan of this bop, then the charismatic and fast-flowing Freddie verse just makes it all the more funky and vibrant. Let us know what your favorite R&B Season inclusion was this week, as well as what else we missed, down in the comments section below. Check the playlist out above and, as always, stick around on HNHH for the latest amazing music releases around the clock.

Big Sean & Doechii Plant Their Flags On Our New “Fire Emoji” Playlist Update

August 31, 2024 by newhiphopnews

August comes to a close, and we have a fresh set of the best of the best hip-hop to drop this week on our new Fire Emoji playlist update. Moreover, leading the way is the highly anticipated album from Big Sean, Better Me Than You. As far as highlights from it, we recommend the wavy “It Is What It Is” with Gunna and the Bryson Tiller and Kodak Black collab “This N That” for you to start with. Elsewhere, Doechii also made a big splash with her excellent new mixtape Alligator Bites Never Heal, which contains standout cuts like the bouncy “SLIDE.”

Furthermore, another Fire Emoji standout this week is another long-awaited project: the latest from Destroy Lonely, LOVE LASTS FOREVER. On it, he’s able to show off his dynamic delivery on cuts like “CADILLAC” and develop his collaborative chemistry with artists like Lil Uzi Vert on the slow-burning “LOVE HURTS.” In addition, we also got a new single from A$AP Rocky leading up to his upcoming studio album return, Don’t Be Dumb. “Tailor Swif” is a pretty standard but effective display of new Rocky: minimal melodic elements, crispy and rattling percussion, and some catchy albeit simple flows.

Fire Emoji also showcases the new album from Strick, ALL TIME HIGH, and hopefully this sheds more light on this North Carolina artist’s versatility. On “CR@SH” with Travis Scott for example, they complement each other’s styles effortlessly while coming through with earworm vocal riffs and some atmospheric production. On a similarly drenched-out and woozy tip, we have the new single from BNYX and Yeat (plus Superheaven), “GO AGAIN.” They work as well together as they ever have, and some flanged electric guitar riffs add a lot of character and melancholy to this otherwise tough-as-nails and drowsy banger.

We’d be remiss not to mention Chance The Rapper’s latest killer single “3333” and its combination of pianos, trumpets, and subtle drums. Finally, Cordae and Anderson .Paak added to their collection of amazing J. Cole-produced collabs with “Summer Drop.” Let us know what your favorite Fire Emoji release was this week, as well as what else we missed, down in the comments section below. Check the playlist out above and, as always, come back to HNHH for more killer rap drops around the clock.

Jessie Reyez & Lil Wayne Enjoy The Ride On Our New “R&B Season” Playlist Update: Stream

August 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Our latest R&B Season playlist update might be a bit scant this week, but fortunately, the new tracks from the genre’s orbit this week are top tier. First up is an unexpected but welcome collaboration from Jessie Reyez and Lil Wayne, the gentle and indie-inspired “RIDIN.” Of course, this guitar-led and percussively steady instrumental contrasts quite markedly with Tunechi’s more lewd and playful lyrical content. Nevertheless, the passion and lust definitely comes through here, especially thanks to the Toronto singer’s tender vocals that charismatically reach higher registers as the track evolves. If you’re looking for a summery jam to close out the season soon, play this with the windows down.

Also on our R&B Season update is the funky and confidently boastful new single from Chxrry22, “Poppin Out (Mistakes).” The XO signee sounds self-assured on this cut, excitedly anticipating a fun night out after a long time away from her city. Moreover, the drums here are reminiscent of some 2000s Timbo or Neptunes worship, matched with rubbery bass, gorgeous vocal harmonies, and some very light and atmospheric background synth pads. While there isn’t much of a melodic anchor in the instrumentation, the Toronto star definitely makes up for it through her own runs and refrains.

Elsewhere, we have another genre-fusing R&B record with Eric Bellinger and Jastin Martin’s new collab, “Chase.” This time around, it mixes some familiar ’90s soul vocal melodies with the infectious New York drill bounce that has dominated the East Coast as of late. As expected, there’s not a standout synth or melodic riff to the beat itself, but the two vocalists take center stage. Their light and airy voices mix together really well for a chemistry-filled team-up, and we’re sure that if you’re a fan of these styles, this will be right up your alley.

Let us know what your favorite R&B Season cut was this week, as well as what else we missed, down there in the comments section. Also – as always – make sure to check back in with HNHH for the latest wavy music releases around the clock, be they from the rhythm and blues world or from your favorite hip-hop stars. You can find the latter group’s highlights this week by checking out our Fire Emoji playlist with the “Read More” link below.

Travis Scott Revives His Classics On Our New “Fire Emoji” Playlist Update

August 24, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Our Fire Emoji playlist is back with the best of the best hip-hop drops of the week, although it’s a bit of an odd and unique one. Rather than having a fresh release be the headliner, the hip-hop world instead rallied around celebrating a ten-year-old fan-favorite. Travis Scott finally released DAYS BEFORE RODEO on streaming services, letting DSP users enjoy “Skyfall,” “Drugs You Should Try It,” and other classic tracks of his in their full-ish glory. Some tracks have been altered due to sample clearances or other considerations, but for the most part, it’s the DBR you know and love.

Another reason as to why our new Fire Emoji update is a bit weirder this time around is because one of the other highlights of the week isn’t on Spotify anymore. Benny The Butcher dropped the Buffalo Butch. Vol. 1 EP with some skilled MCs, including the long-awaited Drake collab “Buffalo Freestyle.” But for unknown reasons at press time (most likely a UMG copyright strike), you won’t be able to listen to it on the platform, although you can still find it on sites like Twitter.

Elsewhere, Cash Cobain also came through with his new album PLAY CASH COBAIN, a woozy, entrancing, and admittedly horny listen. Jokes aside, there are still a lot of engaging and enveloping highlights on this LP that are worth your attention, including “act like” and “slizzyhunchodon” with Don Toliver and Quavo. In addition, Fire Emoji highlights the excellent “BOOM BAP” from Doechii, and its soulful sampling and fiery delivery is captivating. On more of a contemporary slant, Tee Grizzley and 42 Dugg rep their city with a lot of energy on their new collaboration, “Detroit.”

Also, we wanted to shout out Central Cee’s two-pack this week, including “Bolide Noir” with JRK 19 and “Billion Streams Freestyle.” Finally, Babyface Ray and Bossman Dlow rip through an atmospheric and eerie instrumental on “Count Money.” Let us know what your favorite Fire Emoji inclusion was this week, as well as what else we missed, down in the comments section below. Check the playlist out above and, as always, come back to HNHH for the latest killer rap drops around the clock.

Tinashe Unveils “Quantum Baby” On Our New “R&B Season” Playlist Update: Stream

August 18, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Summer’s almost over, but that doesn’t mean our latest R&B Season playlist update is any less fiery. Moreover, we’re here once again to round up the best of the best releases in the genre that dropped this week. Up first is the new album from Tinashe, Quantum Baby, which marks the second part of the trilogy she started with BB/ANG3L. It’s a shorter project with only eight cuts, so you know that the all killer, no filler policy is very much in effect. If you’re looking for a taster to get a vibe of the LP, we’d recommend you check out the catchy and bouncy “No Broke Boys” for you to start your quantum journey.

Elsewhere on this R&B Season playlist update, we also have a new single from Fousheé to talk about, “war.” Ahead of her next project release, she’s been dropping a lot of material as of late, and her various directions have fans very excited for what’s to come. This time around, this song takes on more of a reggae inspiration with sharply strummed guitar chords and light vocal melodies. Overall, it’s a very chilled-out and easy-going record that balances out some of the bombastic energy of previous singles.

In addition, we also wanted to shout out this new track from Coco Jones, “Sweep It Up.” This is among the most classically R&B-sounding inclusions you’ll hear on this playlist update thanks to cavernous brass, a snap beat, and glittering percussive embellishments. Of course, Jones’ smooth and harmonious vocal performance also sets us right in the genre’s golden age. For all the hardcore fans out there, this is one of the sweetest and most lush singles you’ll find this week.

Finally, we’d be remiss not to mention Mary J. Blige and Fabolous’ latest collaboration, “Breathing.” The drums here are crisp, perfectly adding energy to the boisterous brass and Blige’s soaring vocals. Let us know what your favorite R&B Season inclusion was this week, as well as what else we missed, down in the comments section below.

Big Sean & Chance The Rapper Flaunt Their Pens On Our New “Fire Emoji” Playlist Update: Stream

August 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Our Fire Emoji playlist isn’t slowing down anytime soon, and our latest update is here to round up the best of the best hip-hop releases of the week. Leading the way is Big Sean and The Alchemist’s new single “Together Forever,” the latest teaser for the former’s upcoming album. It’s a pretty soulful beat from Uncle Al, complete with calm and grateful verses from the Detroit native. In addition, Chance The Rapper dropped yet another single for his project, this time with Joey Purp on the boisterous “Bad Boys 2.” It’s a quick hitter, a bouncy banger, and yet another reason to be excited for what the Chicago MC does next.

Next on our latest Fire Emoji playlist is Cash Cobain’s massive new single with Laila!, “problem.” Other featured guests include Big Sean, Flo Milli, Don Q, Rob49, 6LACK, Anycia, YN Jay, Luh Tyler, Kaliii, Fabolous, Lay Bankz, Chow Lee, and Flee. As far as other big collaborations this week, we also got a new jam from Lil Yachty and Veeze, “Sorry Not Sorry.” As you might expect from the title, it’s an unapologetic display of dominant rapping from both artists.

Fortunately, if you’re a fan of posse cuts, Fire Emoji has more thanks to That Mexican OT, Curren$y, and Le$’ “1982.” This is a fast-flowing but still smooth and ethereal cut that pushes these rappers’ lyrical limits while making a pleasant and engaging sonic combination. Rob49 also came through with a lot of energy on his latest revamped collab with Skilla Baby and now GloRilla, “Mama.” There’s a lot of charisma on this single thanks to their performances, and a menacing hard trap instrumental that keeps the bounce up.

Meanwhile, Latto updated her new album Sugar Honey Iced Tea with the fan-favorite “Chicken Grease” bonus track, adding to the LP’s longevity. Finally, speaking of new albums, we got a brand new Gangsta Grillz mixtape this week in the form of Gucci Mane’s Greatest Of All Trappers, on which “Rich N***az” is a highlight. Let us know what your favorite Fire Emoji inclusion was this week, as well as what else we missed, down in the comments section below.

Tory Lanez Gets Arrogant On “Featherweight” & Melodic On “F&V” For His Prison Tapes Playlist

August 16, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Tory Lanez is back for week number seven of his new “Prison Tapes” playlist as he drops off “Featherweight” and “F&V”. As with all of these two-packs, the Canadian rapper is showing off his duality as an artist. On “Featherweight”, Tory Lanez is giving you his more confident and aggressive spitting. Contrastingly, on “F&V”, which stands for “F*** & Vibe”, the Brampton resident if getting into his more sexy and sensual side. Him going in this direction each week is a smart move, as he knows his fanbase is nearly split on which lane he excels the most in. However, we believe that “Featherweight” clears “F&V” and by quite a longshot as well.

Overall, both singles are fairly repetitive, but “F&V” is almost too one-note. The chorus repeats, “She just wanna f*** and vibe, f*** and vibe, f*** and vibe, oh“, 16 times. `The storyline he presents here is woman who’s running away from her problems by going out to nightclubs and getting into it with tons of sexual partners. It’s not as compelling or captivating as “Featherweight”. Here, Tory lets everyone know around him who’s the big fish. “Jumpin’ outside of that orange and red Ferrari, I look like a Cheez-It / N****, you know as soon as the beef lit, it ain’t no peace-in“. It’ll be interesting to hear the debate around the tracks this time around, so we want to hear what you think of them, and which one your favorite is.

“Featherweight” & “F&V” – Tory Lanez

Quotable Lyrics From “Featherweight”:

You lil’ n****s are featherweight
Cookingware I get another plate
Ain’t no pardon for you n****s
Pillowtalkin’, saying s*** that I would never say
Superstar when I pull up
Make a b**** hesitate then levitate

Chloe Avoids “Trouble In Paradise” On Our New “R&B Season” Playlist Update: Stream

August 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

HNHH‘s latest R&B Season playlist update is back to keep tabs on the best of the best new releases adjacent to the genre this week. Out of what we’ll cover here, the big headliner is Chlöe’s new album Trouble In Paradise, boasting 16 tracks and a lot of sonic lushness and earworm qualities after her previous 2023 effort, which was no slouch. In addition, special guest performances from Anderson .Paak, YG Marley, Jeremih, and Ty Dolla $ign provide a pretty versatile and well-rounded representation of different rhythm and blues styles. As far as highlights go, we’d recommend the .Paak-assisted “Favorite” for its bubbly percussive patterns and sweet harmonies.

Elsewhere in the R&B world, we also wanted to shout out Leon Thomas’ latest single, the crisp and easy-going “MUTT.” The standout here is the clean and pristine drum kit on display, which bounces off of a rubbery bassline with ease. Also, additional vocals help to flesh out some of the song’s harmonic flourishes in an intoxicating way, and Thomas’ lead performance is charismatic enough to hang onto every word. Try to serenade a prospective partner with this cut and get back to us in the comments with the results.

For the hip-hop fans out there who are looking for some fusions on this R&B Season playlist update, you’re in luck. One of this week’s highlights is Rae Khalil’s new track “CARPINTERIA,” featuring more groovy drums, atmospheric keys, and a buttery smooth verse from Indiana’s own Freddie Gibbs. It lands on Khalil’s brand-new album CRYBABY, which also has plenty of highlights that you shouldn’t miss. Who knew that a soulful collab would contain one of the best new verses of the week?

Meanwhile, we’d be remiss not to mention Coco Jones’ soft and hopeful new record, “Almost There.” Finally, another killer collaboration this time around comes from Ambré and Alex Isley on “YOU DON’T KNOW,” one of the best cuts off the former’s new EP, i do this sh*t in my sleep.

Drake Headlines Our Stacked New “Fire Emoji” Playlist Update: Stream

August 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

We got an avalanche of great new hip-hop releases this week, so let’s tune into our latest Fire Emoji playlist update to catch up with the best of the best. The big drop this time around was Drake’s 100 GIGS project, which gave fans three new songs as well as a whole lot of bonus content, behind-the-scenes peeks, and early versions and recordings of other tracks. As far as other albums or long-form offerings this week, we got two highly anticipated LPs. Polo G made a triumphant return with HOOD POET thanks to fiery performances like “Bad Kids” with GloRilla, whereas Latto came through with what many are calling her best project yet with Sugar Honey Iced Tea, on which “Brokey” is a big highlight.

Elsewhere, we also got a lot of hot new singles on Fire Emoji this week. One of the most surprising but also exciting collabs we witnessed was the team-up between Travis Scott and Asake on “Active,” a single for the latter’s upcoming album. Speaking of link-ups, a recent new music video also has a lot of fans revisiting and bumping Megan Thee Stallion and Yuki Chiba’s “Mamushi.”

In addition, Fire Emoji held more surprises this week thanks to Ciara and BossMan Dlow’s “Run It Up” and its bombastic harmonies. Hype also continues to build and grow for Hanumankind and Kalmi’s Project Pat homage, “Big Dawgs,” and it’s great to see this song build more momentum. Detroit also got a big reason to stand up proudly this week thanks to Boldy James, Tee Grizzley, and Harry Fraud’s “Cecil Fielder.” As for some love down South, Kodak Black came back with the menacing “Hit Stick” with his classic drawl.

Rounding out the list, we have a pretty vibrant collab with Skilla Baby, Doe Boy, and Flo Milli’s “Special.” Finally, don’t forget to check out Warhol.SS and KARRAHBOOO’s “BLOCKLIST” for the most current sound on this update.
