Nicki Minaj & Kenny Mason Bring Bangers To Our New “Fire Emoji” Playlist Update

December 9, 2023 by newhiphopnews

It looks like our Fire Emoji playlist is going to end off on a great and bombastic note, because this week brought us a lot of great rap releases. Moreover, this new update complies the very best of these for your listening pleasure, and leading the way is none other than Nicki Minaj. Her new album Pink Friday 2 is finally here after years of waiting, and fans have a lot of material to sink their teeth into. Perhaps that’s the best compliment we can give this project: the sheer versatility, range of skill, and different appeals on display are a treat to see. For specific highlights, check out the boisterous “Big Difference,” “Let Me Calm Down” with J. Cole, and “Needle” with Drake.

Furthermore, we also had Kenny Mason give us a couple of new tracks this week with Highway 9. Of the three songs within it, our Fire Emoji playlist chose the mellow and moody guitar-led “FACTS” as a woozy and atmospheric standout. You’ll find another dreamy soundscape on “Airplane Tickets,” the new song from Pharrell Williams, Swae Lee, and Rauw Alejandro. However, it’s a very different kind of atmosphere than Mason’s set of influences, swapping out trap patterns for a dancehall vibe with summery synth pads and keys.

Another staple of Fire Emoji is the hardened, unrelenting, and emphatic lyrical banger, and Benny The Butcher is here this week to satisfy. The Stove God Cooks-assisted “One Foot In” contains intricate rhyme schemes, vivid pictures of rags turning to riches, and an unsurprisingly infectious sense of charisma, determination, and success. Speaking of great verses, Lyrical Lemonade tapped Jack Harlow and Dave for their new collaboration “Stop Giving Me Advice,” which has some compelling thematic focuses on the adversities of acclaim. Both MCs suit the old-school beat quite well, refusing to slow down their flows for their heady bars.

Rounding out our update is the drum-and-bass banger “leavemealone” from Fred again… and Baby Keem, which should absolutely soundtrack your next night out. Finally, Southside and Lil Yachty teamed up for “Gimme The Lite,” which is one of the latter’s most straightforward but aggressive trap performances of the year. Let us know in the comments what your favorite release of these was, and also what else we missed.

KAYTRANADA & Tyla Refresh The Vibes On Our New “R&B Season” Playlist Update

December 3, 2023 by newhiphopnews

We’re starting to feel the year dying down a bit when it comes to new music releases, but definitely in terms of quantity and not quality. Moreover, we only have a couple of tracks to talk about for our R&B Season playlist update, but that’s because we wanted to bring only the very best. Leading the way in that regard is one of 2023’s breakout stars, Tyla, with her new self-titled EP. With her blends of soul, Afrobeat, and electronic production, she’s definitely someone who will continue to build a wavy, serene, and engaging catalog in the future. If you want a taste of what the Johannesburg artist brings to the table, look no further than the impossibly catchy “Truth Or Dare.”

However, it’s almost like artists knew that our R&B Season playlist was going to be a bit smaller this week. With that in mind, KAYTRANADA dropped not one, but two new collaborations to bring even more chill vibes to the winter. One is “Lover/Friend”with Rochelle Jordan, whose gorgeous vocals glide over a slower-tempo but still classic deep Kaytra bounce. The other, “Stuntin” with Channel Tres, is a funkier shuffle with enveloping synths and less prominent bass that gives the track a more dreamy feel.

Finally, we’d be remiss to not mention some newer faces to music fans on our R&B Season playlist update. LAVI$H just released an acoustic version of his song “Seventeen,” and it’s the perfect song to cleanse the earlier dance-centric pallet. Not only is the vocal performance passionate and versatile, but the production really lets the light guitar leads take center stage. If this would be your first time listening to this song, it’s hard not to fall in love with this rendition on impact.

Meanwhile, let us know in the comments what your favorite tracks of these is– and also what else we missed in R&B releases this week. Still, don’t forget about the bangers that came through, for which our Fire Emoji playlist has you covered. You can click on the link below to hear Beyoncé’s new song “My House,” as well as many other amazing hard-hitters in hip-hop and beyond.

Coco Jones Welcomes The Holiday Season On Our New “R&B Season” Playlist Update

November 26, 2023 by newhiphopnews

It’s going to be a winter wonderland in a lot of parts of the world soon, and we have just the music to get you in the mood. For the holiday season, we’ve rounded up the best of the best soulful music drops of this week on our R&B Season playlist update. Leading the way with this joyful and chilly time of the year is Coco Jones with her new aptly themed single, “A Timeless Christmas.” That title definitely comes across, as her song is a tender and well-written jam that invokes just as much peace as it does passion through the instrumentation, the vocals, and the optimistic lyrics.

On the other hand, we also have a lot of newer players within R&B for this holiday season update, or artists who’ve been in the game for a while but haven’t gotten to another career peak. For example, the new track “Can’t Forget” from RIMON and Kelz2busy is a woozy and well-contrasted cut, with airy vocals and a dense, cavernous instrumental pallet. In addition, we also highlighted Omarion’s “The Usual,” which is more of a melodic and smooth trap-infused record. Either way you slice it, there’s a lot of talent to dig into in rhythm and blues as we reach the end of 2023.

Furthermore, we also wanted to point you to RAAHiiM’s new album BUT IF iiM HONEST (Deluxe) this R&B Season. These additional tracks add to the project’s cohesive genre blends, and make a pretty sultry and intoxicating complete package. While there are plenty of standout moments here, one cut that we can’t get enough of is the slow-burning “Bodies,” which packs a big punch in a short runtime. This is because of the warm keys, a low-key performance on the mic, and dreamy effects that make the song feel alive.

Meanwhile, we can’t head out without mentioning “40x” by Tink, which displays the rapper’s versatility and shows off her vocal chops. Finally, for the Afrobeat fans out there, Nonso Amadi, Chase Sakur, and Projexx teamed up for the “Foreigner” remix, which will heat you up if you’re feeling cold in these months. Let us know what your favorite release of these was in the comments down below, and also tell us what new music we missed this week. Stream our R&B Season playlist above and stick around on HNHH for more amazing music drops around the clock.

Conway The Machine & Sexyy Red Join Our New “Fire Emoji” Playlist Update

November 25, 2023 by newhiphopnews

We’re officially in the holiday season, and of course, hip-hop has a lot of gifts to give us to close 2023 out. Moreover, we complied the best and biggest releases from this week on our latest Fire Emoji playlist update, and there’s plenty of variety to find. Leading the way are Kanye West, Ty Dolla $ign, Lil Durk, and Bump J with their new single “Vultures,” which was a surprising release. Sure, there was some controversy surrounding the presence or absence of the Smurk feature, but the original track is now on streaming services for you to enjoy. In addition, Ye collaborator Conway The Machine dropped another cavernous and impressive single- “Cosca“- from his upcoming collaborative effort with producer Wun Two, PALERMO, for which they already dropped the song “Montagna.”

Furthermore, another Fire Emoji highlight is the new Sexyy Red record “Free My N***a,” which is a pretty self-explanatory track topically. With the same boisterous energy and fast pace that she built a stellar career off of this year, she pleads for the return of her man on this new song. Another bouncy cut from this week is the latest from Luh Tyler, the light and low-key “Change My Wayz.” The energy might not be at supersonic levels, but it’s a welcome change of pace that shows that Tyler can stay within a more relaxed realm and still engage listeners.

HNHH Fire Emoji Playlist: Stream

As far as albums, Fire Emoji‘s got two big drops this week, and the first one to mention is Busta Rhymes’ BLOCKBUSTA. There are plenty of fun, lyrically dense, and hard-hitting bangers to name here, but we haven’t been able to let go of “OK” featuring Young Thug and with help from Cool and Dre. On the other hand, Lord Apex’s new project The Good Fight is a versatile and well-rounded collection of tracks with a lot of distinct appeal. If you want to hear the English MC trade excellent bars with Freddie Gibbs over a dusty boom-bap beat, look no further than “Phoenix.”

Rounding out the list, we want to give a shoutout to the new Lil Baby-assisted single from Bay Swag, the rapid-fire “All Night Long.” Finally, go give a spin to the most recent collab between Gucci Mane, B.G. and Mike WiLL Made-It, “Cold.” Let us know in the comments down below what was your favorite hip-hop release of the week- and which ones we missed, too. Stream the Fire Emoji playlist above and, as always, come back to HNHH for more great music drops each week.

Further artists down the playlist include James Fauntleroy, Queen Naija, and Majid Jordan.

Lanez’ Alone At Prom arrives as he begins his 10-year prison sentence in the shooting of Megan Thee Stallion. He recently remarked that he’s in “great spirits” during an update on Instagram. “I’m talking to you live from prison right now. I’m just happy to get out of that bullshit county jail. They were hating on the young fly, you heard? Had me on 24-hour lockdown. A half-sized cell by myself,” he said. “No windows, no mirrors. N—a ain’t even seen himself in a whole year. But with all them disadvantages against me, my head has always been held high, man. I want y’all to know I’m in great spirits, and my drive and ambition is growing stronger every day.”

In recent weeks, HNHH has highlighted releases from PinkPantheress, Central Cee, and more on the R&B Season playlist, which is available on exclusively on Spotify.

Drake & Lil Wayne Are Lyrical Masters On Our New “Fire Emoji” Playlist Update

November 18, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Our Fire Emoji playlist update has a little something for everyone: tough-as-nails rap, lyrical mastery, wavy instrumentals, and everything in between. Moreover, we’ve rounded up the best of the best hip-hop releases this week that are making a big splash right now. Unsurprisingly, Drake leads the pack with his For All The Dogs Scary Hours Edition project, which is essentially Scary Hours 3. For this, he went in a deep lyrical bag that many fans missed, and showed that he’s still a great writer. If you want the standouts, we’d recommend the Alchemist-produced “Wick Man” and the J. Cole-assisted “Evil Ways.”

However, that’s far from the only collection of tracks that hit hard this week on Fire Emoji. After much anticipation and solid singles, Lil Wayne and 2 Chainz finally unveiled Welcome 2 Collegrove, a collaborative sequel to their 2016 album. One of its more up-tempo and hard-hitting cuts, “G6,” displays Tunechi and the artist formerly known as Tity Boi with a lot of fire on the mic. With features from the likes of 21 S*vage, Usher, Benny The Butcher, that heat is very consistent and apparent throughout the tracklist.

Regardless of these solid releases, there’s one album that dropped this week that took the crown for Fire Emoji‘s best release: Danny Brown’s new album, Quaranta. If you didn’t like him before, give this project a listen: it’s the most uniquely somber, personal, but nevertheless hopeful and charismatic thing he’s ever dropped. There’s a more solid balance than ever between the Detroit MC’s wild energy and introspection, which the track “Dark Sword Angel” perfectly exemplifies. While other MCs hit 40 and get old, he proves that it’s only a question of getting older, not worse.

Meanwhile, there were a few notable singles to shout out this week, such as Jay Rock and Bongo ByTheWay’s triumphant and horn-driven “Still That Way.” Also, Mozzy came through with a passionate and bouncy banger with “FREE JUJU.” Finally, if you’re looking for gritty and grounded Chicago drill, Lil Durk and his OTF crew released the 11-song effort, Nightmare In The Trenches, on which “I’m The Type” is a menacing and relentless highlight. Let us know what your favorite release of these was- as well as what we missed- in the comments below. Stream our Fire Emoji playlist above and stick around on HNHH for more great rap releases around the clock.

Rick Ross & Meek Mill “Go To Hell” On Today’s “Fire Emoji” Playlist: Stream

November 12, 2023 by newhiphopnews

If you’re having a hard time shaking the dramatic change in temperature that comes with autumn, at least you’ve always got our Fire Emoji playlist to help warm you up. Today (November 11) we’ve got new heat from some of hip-hop’s biggest creators, including Rick Ross and Meek Mill. The longtime friends reunited for a joint album called Too Good To Be True this New Music Friday, teaming up with the likes of Vory, Fabolous, DJ Khaled, The-Dream, and Teyana Taylor for their 17-track effort. To light up our weekly update we’ve got “Go To Hell” featuring Cool & Dre and BEAM. Trust us when we tell you it only gets hotter from there.

2 Chainz and Lil Wayne are our next iconic duo, showing out once again on “Long Story Short.” After that, we hear from two notoriously raunchy lyricists – Kevin Gates and Sexyy Red – on “Yonce Freestyle,” which also features B.G., who’s on an impressive run after returning home from prison a few months ago. Lil Durk made a triumphant return with “Smurk Carter” this week after previously teasing the single on social media, and Smino reminded his listeners why we love him so much with an appearance on ENNY’s “Charge It Remix.”

HNHH Fire Emoji Playlist

The latter half of today’s Fire Emoji round-up comes complete with solo work from both Kodak Black and Jack Harlow. The former did his thing on “Lemme See,” while the latter was clearly feeling himself when recording “Lovin On Me.” NBA YoungBoy’s “Better Than Ever” collab with Rod Wave also made the cut, along with Lola Brooke’s “Don’t Get Me Started.” The femcee dropped off her debut solo project yesterday, and so far, the Coi Leray and Nija track is an obvious fan favourite.

Majid Jordan & Ne-Yo Usher In Winter Nights On Our New “R&B Season” Playlist Update

November 5, 2023 by newhiphopnews

There’s nothing like some soulful tunes to help you warm up as November rolls around and the winter is right around the corner. For that reason, we complied the best releases of the week for our latest R&B Season playlist update so you can get all the heat you need. First up is Majid Jordan’s long-awaited new album Good People, comprised of nine tracks that play with lengthy songwriting and creating dense atmospheres of gorgeous vocals and instrumentation. If you want a sampler to get a taste, look no further than the breezy and softly engaging track “Eyes Closed.” Moreover, if you want to get even more ready for the holiday season, Giveon has you covered with his quietly tender “O Christmas Tree” single, which he dropped long before his latest one, “The First Noel.”

Furthermore, another R&B Season highlight came from Ne-Yo and Fabolous, who remixed the former’s single “Link Up.” It’s a very funky jam, with watery piano keys and dense bass courtesy of Hitmaka that will keep a dance floor grooving. On that same dance-heavy and catchily melodic note, we have a dual single from Mannywellz and Pink Sweat$. “Attention” and “Better With You” pull a lot from Afrobeat and dancehall rhythms, and the result is a summery banger that keeps the party going even in chilly weather.

However, if you still want a more fittingly slow and spacey cut for your R&B Season listening, Lucky Daye’s new song “That’s You” is here to please. The main appeal here is unquestionably Daye’s beautiful performance, flowing between falsettos and passionate runs over a classically sultry backing track. When you feel the need to pop in a full album experience this week, then Ryan Trey’s STREETS SAY YOU MISS ME will have plenty of highlights and intimate records for you to spin. Particularly, we want to shout out “MORE THAN SORRY” for its trap-R&B blend that would fit just as well on a soulful record as it would on a hip-hop-oriented one.

Meanwhile, we have one more release to cover: EARTHGANG and Spillage Village’s psychedelic and dreamy single “Blacklight.” What was your favorite release from our R&B Season playlist update this week? Drop your thoughts on that- and on what we missed- down in the comments section below. Also, check out the playlist in full above and come back to HNHH for more great music drops around the clock.

Gunna & Megan Thee Stallion Lead Our Latest Stacked “Fire Emoji” Playlist Update

November 4, 2023 by newhiphopnews

If you ever thought that music always slows down towards the end of the year, look no further than our new Fire Emoji playlist update as proof against that. There was a lot of amazing hip-hop that came out this week, from the new school to old legends. As a perfect example of a combination of those two, Benny The Butcher and Lil Wayne traded impeccable bars on the grimy single “Big Dog.” For those looking for more modern, woozy sounds, Gunna and Turbo came through to please on the new song “Bachelor.” On that same contemporary note, Megan Thee Stallion kickstarted her career comeback with her latest record, “Cobra,” which is an emotive but perseverant cut.

However, now let’s bring Fire Emoji back to the classics for a second with Jeezy’s brand-new double album, I Might Forgive… But I Don’t Forget. Moreover, the song “No Complaining” shows his power and charisma as an MC while still tapping into modern attitudes and aesthetics. Another hot album this week came from Tee Grizzley, who dropped the 16-track project Tee’s Coney Island. When you need to put on a menacing and fast-paced Detroit banger, his track “Loop Hole” with 21 S*vage will be right there waiting for you.

HNHH Fire Emoji Playlist: Stream

As we keep going further into our Fire Emoji playlist update, you’ll notice that the variety doesn’t slip up. A chemistry-filled and bouncy single from Travis Scott, Kid Cudi, and Pharrell Williams- “AT THE PARTY“- brings the intensity down while still providing an infectious atmosphere. There’s a similar waviness on Cochise’s new song “HOP IN THE WHIP,” although it’s more energetic and with faster flows. In addition, Kodak Black also dropped “2’CY,” which is a Jersey club-inspired record with a strong emphasis on his melodic delivery.

Finally, to close things out with the best releases this week, Rapsody and Hit-Boy teamed up for the dense and powerful track “Asteroids.” Also, we have The Alchemist’s new EP Flying High, Part 2, on which the Conway The Machine-assisted “Phil Drummond” is a massive highlight; Al even drops some bars of his own! Let us know in the comments section what your favorite release of these was this week, and also what we missed.
