Quavo & Kamala Harris To Discuss Gun Violence & Reform At Summit In Takeoff’s Memory

June 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Quavo has already done a lot to honor Takeoff’s legacy and start conversations around gun violence prevention in the United States, but the work is not done. Moreover, he will speak to U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris about firearm reform and violence prevention at his inaugural Rocket Summit Foundation. Atlanta will host this event on Tuesday (June 18), and the event in honor of the late former Migo will take place on what would’ve been his 30th birthday. According to Variety, Harris and Quay’s fireside sit-down will “discuss the methods and approaches that must be taken to decrease gun violence and protect communities.”

Of course, this isn’t the first time that VP Kamala Harris would be speaking to Quavo. Last September, the Georgia rapper went with his mother and Takeoff’s mother to the White House to meet with her for the first time and kickstart these conversations between these parties. With this Rocket Foundation Summit, it seems like he is pushing for these discussions even more, and hopefully continues to do so. After all, the “Mink” MC has a massive platform through which folks can connect, and he will always want to tribute his nephew.

“I feel like your calling comes at the least expected times,” Quavo told the Associated Press after his first meeting with VP Kamala Harris. “You don’t think nothing is going to happen. I need to step up to the plate and hit a home run. I have to do something about it, so it won’t happen to the masses. Especially in our culture. I don’t want this to happen to the next person. I want to knock down these percentages.

“We need to do better with the control of guns,” Quavo continued. “We need to figure out how do we keep these types of incidents from happening to people going anywhere and thinking they can hurt somebody where it shouldn’t happen.”

Boosie Badazz Reveals The Moment He Thinks Quavo And Chris Brown’s Beef Went Too Far

June 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Rap beef has absolutely dominated the news cycle in 2024 so far. Two major beefs have stolen the show. Nicki Minaj and Megan Thee Stallion had a heated back-and-forth earlier this year all sparked from one line in Megan’s single “HISS.” The even bigger fish came a few months later when Future and Metro Boomin’s “Like That” sparked a major influx of beef. Both Metro and Future as well as The Weeknd, J. Cole, and Rick Ross were all wrapped up in it but at the heart of everything was Drake and Kendrick Lamar. While that back and forth was going on though, Quavo and Chris Brown were also taking some pretty serious shots at each other.

During a recent Vlad TV interview, Boosie Badazz spoke on the feud between Brown and the former Migos rapper. In particular, he discussed the moment where he felt things escalated substantially. He pointed out that Chris Brown claiming it should have been Quavo that died instead of Takeoff was a major shift in the intensity of the beef. Boosie said that comment alone was likely to eventually escalate the beef beyond words and to the level of violence. Check out everything he had to say about the beef in his new interview below.

Boosie also thinks the beef between Drake and Kendrick Lamar could get violent, but not between its two principle players. In another interview he claimed that the pair couldn’t stop their crews from potentially escalating things to a violent point. He also had to settle rumors that he could be involved in beef of his own. He shut down rumors that things have reached the point of beef between him and both Kodak Black and NBA Youngboy.

What do you think of Boosie Badazz’ take on where things escalated too far between Chris Brown and Quavo? Do you agree with him that things could reach the point of physical confrontation between the pair following Brown mentioning Takeoff? Let us know in the comment section below.

Ice Spice & Quavo Trade Strikes At Bowling Alley Together

June 8, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Rappers collaborate so much and so often these days through so many different modes (meetings, collabs, performances, social media mentions, etc.) that it’s rare for two artists to not really have many common links. Regardless, that didn’t stop Quavo and Ice Spice from having a good time at a bowling alley with friends, as a video recently surfaced of the two taking a picture together at the venue. Of course, it’s unclear whether they just ran into each other or all went out together, so some gossip will likely stir. After all, the Saweetie part of the former Migo’s Chris Brown drama showed that people seem pretty invested in his romantic life.

But in the case of Ice Spice, relationship rumors can’t really compare to the excitement around the announcement of her debut studio album, Y2K. There’s already a lot of conversation around whether or not she will continue her trademark style or bring something new to the table, as well as potential guests and sounds. The Bronx femcee is building a lot of momentum off of her breakout 2023, and while there’s a lot of competition, she seems comfortable in that space. What’s dominance without a challenge?

Ice Spice & Quavo Go For A Bowl

A post shared by DJ Akademiks (@akademiks)

As for Quavo, he recently linked up with Ian and teased a new collaboration together, which should be a fun time for younger hip-hop listeners who mess with the Valedictorian. We don’t really know the nature of this meeting with Ice Spice, but we don’t have to and there are much better things going on with both that we should pay more attention to. The Georgia MC already dropped a solo album last year and, in addition to his Breezy beef, has some more singles in this year’s discog. With that in mind, we’ll see whether the gossip train is inevitable here.

Meanwhile, Ice Spice recently defended the clowned album cover for Y2K and its creator David LaChapelle on Twitter. “David LaChapelle is #Y2K! soooo sweet + legendary he didn’t even charge me cus he f**ks wit a real b***h,” she wrote in the caption of a photo of the two. “Thank U for all the incredible art you’ve put out through the years this cover means everything to me & yes Y2K was placed on the trash can on purpose can u guess why?”

Ray J Subtly Disses Quavo When Talking About Chris Brown Feud

June 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Ray J has no problem giving his opinion. The R&B singer and pop culture force went on the Club Shay Shay podcast and spoke bluntly about a myriad of topics. He detailed what he think should be done to Diddy after seeing the Cassie footage. He claimed that his sex tape with Kim Kardashian may have led to the popularization of OnlyFans. Then, in an unexpected turn of events, he bodied Migos rapper Quavo. Ray J was asked what he thought about the rap beefs that had taken place in 2024, and he rated every emcee involved EXCEPT Quavo.

Club Shay Shay host Shannon Sharpe asked whether Ray J was a fan of the Drake vs. Kendrick Lamar situation, or the Quavo vs. Chris Brown feud. The singer couldn’t help himself. Instead of giving flowers to all four artists mentioned, he drew a line between Quavo and the rest. “That’s not beef,” Ray J said in response to the Quavo vs. Chris Brown situation. “Quavo and Chris Brown, Kendrick and Drake. You got Chris Brown. You got Drake, and you got Kendrick Lamar.” Realizing how his comment had come off, the singer tried to clean it up. “And no disrespect to Quavo,” he added. Ray J’s view on Quavo was painfully clear. No addendum needed.

Ray J Was Not Impressed With Quavo’s Battle Skills

Quavo’s reputation has taken a hit in recent months. The Migos rapper was a worth adversary for Chris Brown on paper. Especially since he was a rapper, and Breezy’s day job is R&B singer. Nevertheless, the beef was one-sided. Chris Brown’s “Weakest Link” diss was scathing, and Quavo failed to keep up when he dropped the response “Over H*es and B*tches.” The mediocre bars disappointed fans. There was also confusion as to why Quavo featured a posthumous verse from Takeoff, who had nothing to do with the beef.

Ray J did, however, praise the other three rappers Sharpe mentioned. He was particularly complimentive of Drake. Their relationship stemmed from the fact that Drake sampled Ray J’s R&B classic “One Wish” on his blockbuster 2016 album Views. He thought both Drizzy and Kendrick Lamar handled themselves well during their recent battle. “That’s what I think a Hip Hop beef should be,” he opined. Ray’s remarks dropped the same day Drake decided to delete all his Lamar disses off Instagram, ironically.

Quavo Teams Up With Ian And Teases Upcoming Collaboration

May 31, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Quavo is a prolific artist. He was the first member of Migos to step out and find solo success by working with the likes of Drake and Travis Scott. He even scored a number one single opposite Justin Bieber. The Atlanta rapper does not discriminate when it comes to collaborations. That being said, his latest collab is a bit of a surprise. Quavo posted a photo on Instagram of him working in the studio alongside the latest rap breakout, Ian. A controversial pick, but one that ultimately makes sense.

Quavo posted the photo on his Instagram Stories on May 30. The rapper doesn’t appear in it himself, but it looks as though he’s the one who snapped the image of Ian in the studio. Ian, who was born Ian O’Neill Smith (shocker, we know), can be seen laying down vocals. We even get to see the audio file of whatever song Quavo and Ian are working on in the background. The Migos rapper tagged Ian, suggesting the two are going to be dropping something very soon. Aesthetically, Quavo and Ian are worlds apart. Culturally as well, actually. It’s the style of Ian’s music, however, that’s going to make this potential collaboration interesting.

Quavo Posted An IG Photo Of Ian Recording A Verse

Ian takes inspiration from trap rap of the 2010s, including Gucci Mane, Chief Keef and yes, Migos. The rapper’s recent album, Valedictorian, has taken the world by storm, for reasons musical and otherwise. Fans have been impressed with Ian’s ability to emulate his musical idols, while critics have criticized him for being a watered-down imitation of people like Keef and Playboi Carti. It’s easy to see both sides. The collab between Quavo and Ian will help to legitimate the latter’s reputation within hip-hop, and may even lead to other high-profile collabs.

Quavo, meanwhile, is hard at work on his upcoming solo album. There hasn’t been any word on a title or a proper release date, but the Migos rapper has been dropping singles. “Himothy” and “Potato Loaded” were buzz singles that failed to generate much attention. Quavo has also teased multiple snippets and collabs with artists like Rich the Kid and Lana Del Rey. He’s also working on piecing together songs for Takeoff’s posthumous album. “I’m gathering a whole bunch of information, gathering a lot of producers, gathering a lot of my friends, a lot of the artists,” Quavo told Vibe in 2023. “And we’re going to make this album one of the craziest albums of all time.”

Quavo Returns To His Regularly Scheduled Programming With “Clear The Smoke”

May 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

After a pretty bloody battle with Chris Brown, Quavo is looking to get back on track with “Clear the Smoke.” The former Migo went shot for shot with R&B singer after Breezy rekindled the flame on “Freak.” “Okay, now f***in’ my old b****es ain’t gon’ make us equal / Sippin’ that 1942 ’cause I don’t do no Cuervo / Freak b****, she like Casamigos, not the Migos.” The 11:11 (Deluxe) cut prompted Quavo to fire back on “Tender.” However, it did not stop there, as Brown would then retaliate with “Weakest Link.” Finally, that would be followed up by “Over H*es & B****es.”

Now, with the dust settling on their feud, Quavo can now refocus on the streak he has been on. He has been really keeping the momentum up since he released Rocket Power last September, his tribute to Takeoff and sophomore solo LP. Huncho has worked alongside artists such as Rich The Kid, Destroy Lonely, Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign, as well as Chief Keef. However, “Clear the Smoke” sees him riding solo.

Listen To “Clear The Smoke” By Quavo

Quavo seems to be working on a more ethereal and spacey sound, compared to the straight-forward trap bangers of the past. You are still getting the trademark flows and adlibs but against more grand instrumentals. We saw him experience with that on his last record, so this shift is not too much of a surprise. You can check out “Clear the Smoke” with the new music video above.

What are your thoughts on “Clear the Smoke” by Quavo? Is this one of his best releases as of late, why or why not? Do you think he is nearing a release of a new album? What is your favorite aspect of the song? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Quavo. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

Quotable Lyrics:

If it’s smoke, I will not run (Never)
It’s smoke, can’t clear your lungs (No)
Outside, I’m with my ones (Yeah)
Hell no, we don’t do ones (No)
Don’t want no smoke ’bout p***y (No smoke)
These b****es all for us (Us)

Saweetie Seemingly References Chris Brown & Quavo Beef While Freestyling Over Sexyy Red’s “SkeeYee”

May 16, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Saweetie occasionally has to remind fans just how good of a rapper she really is. She’s often making waves for her photo dumps and the drama surrounding her relationships. Most recently she’s been in the thick of the beef between Quavo and Chris Brown. Both artists brought her up early in the beef and she’s been dragged along for the ride as the two take shots at each other. Her involvement in that beef popped up during a recent freestyle she shared to Instagram.

In the clip, Saweetie is chilling in her car but she certainly isn’t delivering relaxed bars. For an instrumental she’s using Sexyy Red’s hit song “Skee Yee” from last year. But rather than the raunchy demeanor of the original the “Tap In” rapper used it to flex her money, skill, and stunning looks. During the freestyle she also makes reference to Chris Brown and the beef she’s been caught up in. At the end of her performance she even adapts the hook of the song to reminds fans what she’s coming to their city to do. Check out her entire lengthy freestyle below.

A post shared by The Shade Room (@theshaderoom)

A few weeks ago Saweetie was mistaken for Ice Spice on Twitter, which has led many fans to compare the two. In the comments of her freestyle Spice comes up repeatedly. “She’s better than ice spice and that’s a fendi fact” one of the top comments on the post reads. “If y’all can listen to Ice Spice yall can listen to Saweetie!” another commentor agrees. Spice recently released the second single from her upcoming debut album “Gimmie A Light.” The song was met with mixed reactions from many fans in the days following its release.

What do you think of Saweetie’s hard-hitting new freestyle over the beat from Sexyy Red’s “Skee Yee?” Do you think she’s a better rapper than Ice Spice like many fans in her comments are claiming? Let us know in the comment section below.

Chief Keef & Quavo Aren’t Playing Around On “Never Fly Here”

May 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Chief Keef fans were able to take a huge sigh of relief after he finally came through and delivered Almighty So 2. It is the long-awaited follow-up to the first installment, which saw a release about 11 years ago. 2024 has been another busy one for the influential Chicago talent, as this tape also supersedes his March collaborative mixtape with a fellow legend, Mike WiLL Made-It. With both projects out, some are saying DIRTY NACHOS was better than Almighty So 2. For us, we are just enjoying the ride and appreciating what Chief Keef brought, especially with songs like “Never Fly Here.”

This one of just a handful of cuts that possessed a feature or two. However, this one may have the biggest guest of them all, which is Quavo. Not only is it just because a former Migos member is on the track, it is also because this is their first joint effort ever. It might be a hard thing to realize, especially with how long each rapper has been in the game, and that they came up at the same time.

Listen To “Never Fly Here” By Chief Keef & Quavo

Like this mixtape, this collaboration on “Never Fly Here” was well worth the wait. Fans have been taking a liking toward this trap banger numbers wise, but also in terms of quality. This track has one of the stronger instrumentals on the record, especially when the sped-up piano make an entrance. Keef and Quavo display solid chemistry and trade some funny and sticky bars to boot.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new song “” by Chief Keef? Is this the best track from his new mixtape Almighty So 2, why or why not? Where do you rank this project amongst the rest of his catalog? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Chief Keef and Quavo. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

Quotable Lyrics:

Put that s*** on like AB, ballin’ on them like KD
I’ma need me a straitjacket, “Why?” ‘Cause I’m goin’ crazy
She wanna be my Queen Bey, want me to be her JAY-Z
B**** asked me for a Jeep, told her, “This Maybelline, b****, that’s maybe”
“So, when you goin’ to the top?” Lil’ bro said, “Take me”
I used to be on the block, boy, but I don’t know no Tay Keith
