Talib Kweli, Wildchild, & Q-Tip Go Off Over Terrific Madlib Beat On “One For Biz

March 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Two of some of the most well-respected names in all of hip-hop, Talib Kweli and Madlib, are here with a “new single” “One For Biz.” We say “new single” because this song was actually released last year for the rapper and producer’s sequel record Liberation 2. Talib Kweli and Madlib made “One For Biz” as a tribute to the late and great Biz Markie. Their way of paying homage to the legend was through Q-Tip’s chorus.

Q put a spin on “Nobody Beats the Biz,” and it has been a popular track off of Liberation 2 ever since. The album got a release on a platform called Luminary, which is a subscription-based podcast network, according to HipHopDX. Talib Kweli, and everyone else here does a great job. Madlib especially gets a nod for his terrific and irresistible piano beat.

The reason we wanted to cover this cut is because it finally got a mainstream streaming release. Nothing is different about the song, but for fans who were wanting more accessibility to it, you get it now. Be sure to support the standout collaboration.

Quotable Lyrics:

Otis make the music Dakota’s holding for ransom
I’m out of my cocoon like I’m doomed, doing accordion bare feet stomping the ground like Zulu warriors
Sound f*** around it’s your favorite MC
It’s the original Talib Kweli I’m confident never cocky
I promise I’m never running, forever clever and cunning
Just here to let you know, you get punched in the face the Bismarck taught me how to rock a show, as long as you know

Cardi B Continues To Regain Her Trademark Confidence On “Enough (Miami)”

March 15, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It was clear that over the past several months, Cardi B was not in the best mental headspace. Of course, one of the key contributing factors to that was her split with Offset. Additionally, her actions on social media were also hard to stomach for most people. But it seems that the New York superstar has been slowly finding herself again and having fun making music. Case and point, Cardi B’s newest track “Enough (Miami).”

This comes two weeks after her initial comeback with “Like What (Freestyle).” That single has been a hit with fans so far, racking up over nine million views and still on the trending for music page on YouTube. With “Enough (Miami),” Cardi B is showcasing a similar formula, which is be undeniably confident. Like we said earlier, she has been rebuilding herself, so the energy both songs have been giving makes sense.

Listen To “Enough (Miami)” By Cardi B

However, there is an even more aggressive fervor to Cardi’s track. The beat, crafted by OG Parker, Romano, and DJ SwanQo, is darker and punchier. Part of the reason that is because Cardi sampled Missy Elliott’s “She’s a B****” on “Like What,” which has a more rhythmic feeling. The gritty femcee is giving this track her all with fast flows, some funny and hard-hitting bars, and of course, her confident energy.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single, “Enough (Miami),” by Cardi B? Is this a stronger track than “Like What (Freestyle),” why or why not? What is your favorite element of the song and why? Do you think we are getting her next album this year?

Quotable Lyrics:

B*****s is washed, soap on the dishes
I apply pressure like boa constrictors
One b****, two b****, old b****, new b****
None of y’all b*****s not gon’ do s***
I’m in Miami, I pull up on cruise ship
You in Miami, four h**s to a room s*** (Ah)

KILLY Continues To Build Hype Around Himself On “ALL CAPS”

March 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

KILLY has been talked about a lot here on the website as of the past few months or so. Since late 2023, the Canadian multi-hyphenate has been consistently feeding his fanbase with a single here, a two-pack there, and even an EP. We just talked about him about two weeks ago with his record “GLEE.” Now, KILLY is back to keep up the pace with “ALL CAPS.”

All of this music has us wondering when KILLY is going to finally pull the trigger on releasing an album. He is always ready to drop stuff like POP 2 or K3. However, it has been two years since his last LP Crazy Life of Sin. What also makes this steady stream of material intriguing is that he is currently on an overseas tour.

Listen To “ALL CAPS” By KILLY

It is taking place across Europe as he will be performing in Budapest today. As for the song, “ALL CAPS” is another song drenched in vocal effects. However, this one is doing a little too much and it just sounds a bit sloppy. But, it is good to see the incredible amount of support from his fans. “Killy been flooding lately, excited 4 his next project,” one person commented underneath the audio above.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single, “ALL CAPS,” by KILLY? Is this one of his better songs as of late, why or why not? Do you think we are going to get a full album after all of these singles and two packs? What is your favorite element of the track and why?

Asking for my name, told her, “KILLY, all caps”
Pull up Bruce Wayne, bullet proof the all black (Hello)
It’s Secret, Secret, Secret and you talking to the boss (Secret)
Wе gon’ make it even, еven if we take a loss (Yeah, yeah)

Big Meech Might Be Out Of Jail Next Year After Sentence Reduction Bid

January 4, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Big Meech, the co-founder of the Black Mafia Family (BMF), might get yet another sentence reduction in his 30-year stint, according to AllHipHop. Moreover, he and his legal team asked for another three-year reduction, one that he previously nabbed back in 2021, moving his scheduled release from May 2031 to May 2028. Meech faced conviction for money laundering and running a national crime enterprise, for which he received over $270 million in drug trade profits from the late 1990s until 2007. His previous reduction came after a reevaluation of drug quantity and chemical quantity across all related charges.

Furthermore, now Lil Meech’s father and his lawyer Brittany K. Barnett of the Burned Alive project think they deserve a step further. They motioned for another sentence reduction of three years, which if approved, would set Big Meech’s release date for May of 2025. In addition, their argument cited Section 18 582(c)(2) of the U.S. Criminal Code (U.S.C.), which states a judge can reduce a sentence if sentencing rules for their charges became more lenient after the conviction. This pairs with an April 2023 amendment which eliminates certain “criminal history status points” for select individuals with criminal history.

Specifically, it seems like this eliminates “status points” imposed during an individual’s sentence, and Barnett believes this amendment would strike at least two points off the former crime boss. As this law came into effect in November of 2023, they believe he is qualified for another reduction as outlined in the U.S.C. Big Meech has done a lot to change his image, outreach, and philosophy while in prison. For example, he contributed to many charity events in his community and wants to rebrand BMF under the “Build More Families” moniker for positive change.

“Notably, Federal Bureau of Prisons (B.O.P.) staff observed that ‘Flenory has displayed a dedication to remaining physically fit and has taken it upon himself to lead and teach exercise classes to other inmates,’” his lawyer remarked. “He also leads regular focus groups out of various self-help books and appears to [have] a positive mental health effect [on] other inmates.” We’ll see whether the court is compassionate to the “Power” critic’s efforts. Stay posted on HNHH for the latest news and updates on Big Meech.

JJ Redick On Zion Williamson: “He’s Still Not In Shape”

December 9, 2023 by newhiphopnews

After a 133-89 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA’s In-Season Tournament, everyone’s got something to say about Zion Williamson. Moreover, many folks within the basketball world, whether it’s fans, commentators, analysts, or fellow players, criticized his 13-point, 3-rebound performance. While these are never easy critiques to handle as a professional athlete, many of them come from a place of love, admiration, and hope. Everyone knows how good Zion is, especially former teammates like JJ Redick, who expressed his thoughts on the matter on Friday’s (December 8) edition of NBA Today. During his remarks, he expressed belief in the fact that the young North Carolina forward has always faced these issues, but expressed even more hope that he can overcome them.

“I was disappointed, and overall, I’ve been disappointed in Zion this season,” JJ Redick remarked. “We can certainly point to counting stats and say he’s having a fine season, but you can be in the building, you can watch on TV, you can be courtside and you can see he’s not in shape. He still isn’t in shape despite everything that he [went] through.

JJ Redick Speaks On Zion Williamson: Watch

“The reality is Zion Williamson has not bought in to his own career yet.”

“Despite numerous conversations with legends of the game about being in shape,” JJ Redick continued. “[We call him] out on national television once or twice a year for this thing, this very thing. Earlier this season, he had a press conference where he was trying to buy into what the team wanted, and the reality is, Zion Williamson has not bought into his own career yet. And that is disappointing because as someone who’s a fan of his, a former teammate, a fellow Duke guy, I know— we all know— how great he can be.

“We’ve seen those flashes of greatness,” he concluded. “But to do that for an extended period of time, to reach his full potential— and really, RJ, that’s all we can ask for as players, whatever your potential is, to reach that— he’s never gonna get there if he doesn’t buy in to his own career.” For more news and the latest updates on Zion Williamson and JJ Redick, stay up to date on HNHH.

Cam’ron Might Sue Joe Budden Podcast For Defamation Over Underage Sex Work Claims

December 8, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Cam’ron isn’t taking The Joe Budden Podcast‘s recent comments on him lightly at all. Moreover, for those unaware, the crew reacted to him and Ma$e’s story about having a threesome with a brothel sex worker back in the 1990s. During their discussion on that story, podcast co-host Melyssa Ford insinuated that there could’ve been underage girls at that establishment that they could’ve encountered. The rapper was obviously not happy at all, and had previously called out Ford and the podcast as a whole for making such claims. During a recent Instagram Live session on Thursday (December 7), he did not accept Ford’s apology for making those insinuations.

“First of all, I only like older b***hes,” Cam’ron expressed. “Second of all, it was 1992– we were underage! I just turned motherf***ing 16. You can’t just say s**t like that and two days later be like, ‘Oh, my bad. I wasn’t thinking.’ You damn right you wasn’t thinking! Why say that in the beginning? You not even from here! You not even from this country! I could’ve went straight to: Ice-T f***ed you in the bathroom for $2,000 when you was doing waitressing. I didn’t even go there! You used to f**k in the bathroom at the Kit Kat Club or one of them old-a** clubs. Stop, you a video vixen!

— SOUND (@itsavibe) December 7, 2023

“They either threw her under the bus or they said, ‘F**k it, let’s get the ratings,’” Cam’ron continued. “I was gonna leave it alone, but then she said sorry. But the sorry wasn’t even genuine– that s**t was fake. I don’t even know who convinced her to do this s**t, but whoever did, that was smart because now if I sue n***as for defamation of character, I’m a sucker, right? Well, I might be a sucker. I don’t know yet, I’m thinking about it– pause.”

“I wake up and my man shows me QueenzFlip talking about, ‘None of you podcasters gonna hold down Melyssa Ford?’” he concluded. “Hold down for what?! Disrespect n***as some more?! How you co-signing her saying some s**t like that? Now she on a lonely hill? You co-signing bulls**t! I’m on a lonely hill, n***a! Shoutout to Joe Budden for hiring all these washed-up n***as. You could open a dry cleaning business, n***a.” For more news on Cam’ron and The Joe Budden Podcast, come back to HNHH.

Playboi Carti’s “I AM MUSIC” Announced, Pharrell Reposts

December 7, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Playboi Carti just announced I AM MUSIC; that’s the most important thing you need to know right now about this news. Is it a new album, a clothing line, a new tour to account for his rescheduled dates, or something else entirely? Well, we don’t know for sure, but that doesn’t make this development any less exciting. After all, we usually only get radio silence on this matter, and official social media posts from him are far better than random leaks, assumptions, or other hints we usually get. What’s more is that even Pharrell Williams shared this news on his pages, so we have more reason than ever to believe that another Christmas drop for the Whole Lotta Red superstar might be upon us.

However, we don’t want to get too ahead of ourselves yet; we can’t forget that this is Playboi Carti we’re talking about. This has been a common cycle in the media for years now, only amplified by the longer we wait for it. For many fans out there, they probably won’t believe it until they see new material on their preferred streaming service, but we can’t ignore that there’s some hope here. With other bizarre social media activity from him, though– one that had some fans thinking that he got hacked– we should take this with a grain of salt.

Pharrell Shares Playboi Carti’s I AM MUSIC Announcement

PREPARE pic.twitter.com/9QK5kpYQDg

— Pharrell Williams (@Pharrell) December 7, 2023

Furthermore, the inclusion of Pharrell into this equation is very interesting considering Playboi Carti’s past releases. For example, for the aforementioned album WLR, he brought on Kanye West as its executive producer. As such, maybe the Neptunes legend will be the producer and fashion icon at the helm of this next project, or he’s just simply as excited as we are. Either way, it certainly adds fuel to the speculative fire, especially with his own talk about having a lot of new music on the way.

Meanwhile, given past reports on Carti’s album being called Music, this adds to the likelihood that this is an official album announcement. Is this going to sound like the cave he recorded in, or are we getting a completely new sound apart from the rage wave? Only time will tell, and we couldn’t be happier to find out. For more news and the latest updates on Playboi Carti and Pharrell, log back into HNHH.

Drake Might’ve Just Teased A Yeat Collab On “For All The Dogs”

September 11, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Drake’s For All The Dogs is right around the corner, but we won’t just be twiddling our thumbs waiting for it. Moreover, the 6 God isn’t done feeding fan anticipation by teasing and revealing new things about the project. Even if a lot of that work is purely speculative, none of it’s stopped die-hards from theorizing on what to expect from the album. Most recently, the Toronto MC fueled rumors of another potential collab on it, apart from confirmed appearances from Nicki Minaj and Bad Bunny. None other than rage superstar Yeat might just be one of Drizzy’s dogs based on recent social media activity.

Furthermore, Drake posted a picture on his Instagram Story of a Photoshopped image of him on Yeat’s body. The 36-year-old’s eyes are all that one can identify as his own in the picture, and this made fans think that he confirmed a team-up on wax. Not only is this exciting on its own, but it’s also kind of surprising considering their wildly different styles. However, this isn’t exactly out of the blue, as the two rappers previously made their bond quite public.

Drake Potentially Teases Yeat Collab

The biggest recent example of this was Drake’s Seattle shows for his It’s All A Blur tour with 21 S*vage. Yeat actually appeared during one of these, which added to previous rumors that the two were actually getting quite close. In fact, the OVO mogul even swapped some words around during his performance of “Sticky” to shout out the Portland native’s name onstage. Even if very few can imagine what a track between them would sound like, it’s at least nice to know that the mutual respect is there.

Meanwhile, this isn’t the first time that one of Aubrey Graham’s social media posts sparked speculation on a collab with the “bigger then everything” star. Regardless, with the album so close, this sealed the deal in many fans’ eyes. If it doesn’t end up panning out, though, comments begging for them to make something together will never cease. On that note, check back in with HNHH for the latest news and updates on Yeat and Drake.

Lil Uzi Vert’s “Barter 16” Gets Tentative Release Date

September 10, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Unfortunately for Lil Uzi Vert fans, it seems like their upcoming mixtape Barter 16 is turning out to be just as mythical and long-awaited as their past projects like Pink Tape and Eternal Atake. Considering full song leaks and continuous teases, some fans fear that it may be too good to be true. Regardless, the Philly superstar is still committed to dropping the album soon, or at least that’s what they told fans (or reporters… or both) when they approached them in their vehicle. Moreover, Uzi stated that they want to drop the Young Thug-tributing release by the end of next week. Not only that, but they shared that they want to drop a whole other album, too.

Furthermore, this is one of a few recent hints that actually point to Barter 16 coming soon. For example, producer London On Da Track recently teased via Twitter that they handed the project in. Whether it was Lil Uzi Vert who did so or London himself, we don’t know, but it’s promising either way. Still, many fans (for good reason) won’t believe it until they see it, but when they do, it’ll most likely be quite the special occasion.

Lil Uzi Vert Addresses Barter 16 & Another Project On The Way

A post shared by Our Generation Music (@ourgenerationmusic)

Another aspect of the Barter 16 hype cycle are Lil Uzi Vert’s various studio sessions with other rappers and industry figures. Most recently, they teamed up with Veeze and A$AP Bari, who already have past history with Uzi and could make for some chemistry-filled collabs. In addition, none other than Birdman went to cook some stuff up with the “F.F.” MC after he requested to be on the project. Just goes to show, folks: ask and you shall receive. Well, maybe being a ridiculously successful rap executive will get you farther in that regard.

In any case, hype is as prevalent as ever for Barter 16, and fortunately it seems like the leaks haven’t turned the mixtape into a distant past. Perhaps in the near future we’ll finally get to hear it, or this is just another case of eternal teasing and promises until it’s actually ready. Whatever happens, we’re here for it. On that note, come back to HNHH for the latest news and updates on Lil Uzi Vert.
