Sexyy Red has become a superstar of sorts over the last few months. Overall, she has done big things, including dropping an album while also headlining her own sold-out solo tour. Moreover, she got to be the opener for Drake’s tour, during the Summer and the Fall. Her album Hood Hottest Princess is filled with some incredible hits, and she will definitely be making some year-end lists. That said, her work ethic is second to none, and she has been promising some new music for her most dedicated fans.
In fact, the artist has been teasing fans with a deluxe version of Hood Hottest Princess. Overall, this would be a huge look for Sexy given the fact that her celebrity has never been bigger. People want to hear new music from here, and she is ready to deliver. So much so that on Wednesday night, she announced that her new deluxe project would be dropping on Friday at midnight. That is a lot sooner than fans would have thought, however, it does serve as a nice little Christmas gift.
Overall, there are 11 new songs here. However, some of these songs have actually already been released. Regardless, there are some pretty cool features to be found here. For instance, Chief Keef, 42 Dugg, G Herbo, Summer Walker, and Sukihana can all be found here. Although Sexyy knows how to carry a song by herself, it is always cool to see artists working with a plethora of different peers. Fans are definitely excited about this new collection of tracks, and hopefully, it lives up to the standard of the original album.

French Montana’s next project is fast-approaching, and based on his most recent announcement, it’s going to be a part of history. Moreover, he announced on Friday (November 24) on social media that his next mixtape, Mac & Cheese 5, is officially scheduled for release on January 5, 2024. As such, the Moroccan-American MC’s upcoming tape will join the series that started with Mac Wit Da Cheese almost a decade and a half ago in 2009. “Mac n cheese 5 january 5th [calendar emoji] [exclamation mark emoji],” he captioned a teaser trailer on Instagram. “LETS FINISH WHAT WE STARTED [newspaper emoji] This one for the books ! [wave emoji] [surfer emoji] #freemaxb #foreverchinx.”
In addition, he also provided a tease of a new song and music video with this post. “Hard life…” French Montana says in the video tease. “Excuses gon’ make today easy, but tomorrow hard. Discipline gon’ make today hard, but tomorrow easy.” His last album was the 2023 tape Coke Boys 6 with DJ Drama, and that Gangsta Grillz project also came out in early January. Looks like that’s a solid season for drops for the 39-year-old.
Furthermore, he actually has plenty of reason to celebrate these days; not just regarding the announcement of this new mixtape, but also his 39th birthday on November 9. French Montana celebrated an elaborate birthday bash and invited plenty of famous friends to the party, including Chirsean Rock, Offset, Chris Brown, and many more. He even got a zebra for the occasion, too, and received a birthday shoutout from his friend Max B while in prison. Overall, it seems like the “Unforgettable” artist is keeping this celebratory streak up all the way through the holidays and into Mac & Cheese 5.
Meanwhile, other outings he was on didn’t end up being the most fruitful endeavors. For example, authorities raided the South Bronx-raised hitmaker’s jet for contraband, but it seems like he was able to dodge any significant issues. Regardless, are you excited for Mac & Cheese 5? Let us know in the comments and log back into HNHH for the latest news and updates on French Montana.
Benny The Butcher has kicked off a countdown to the release of his long-awaited album, Everybody Can’t Go. Currently sitting at nine days, the clock will expire on November 3, 2023. Benny shared the timer on social media, Tuesday, with his catchphrase, “THE BUTCHER COMING.”
The post on Instagram has fans stoked for the release of new music from Benny. One fan commented: “CONWAY AND GUNN DID THEY THING, NOW ITS THE BUTCHERS TURN!!!!” Another wrote: “Shit bout to be cr*zy,” while others shared fire emojis and other excited remarks.

Benny initially planned to share Everybody Can’t Go back in August but delayed the project just before its release date. “My album ain’t coming out tonight or tomorrow,” Benny said on Instagram at the time. “Just know I wasn’t as ready as I thought I was. Just know when you hear my shit it’s gonna be better than all this other shit you’ve been hearing all year.” He provided another update on the project, earlier this week, teasing some of his collaborators. “Rappers be droppin albums when nobody asked for em so I appreciate the anticipation from y’all [prayer hands emoji],” the rapper tweeted. “Everybody Can’t Go x The Butcher x Def Jam x GxFR x B$F x HitBoy x Alchemist.”
In addition to Everybody Can’t Go, Benny is also working on a sequel to his 2019 collaborative album with Westside Gunn and Conway The Machine, What Would Chine Gun Do?. “’24 is gonna be probably one of the biggest years for Griselda… There’s nothing stronger than us three together. We gotta come together and give people What Would Chine Gun Do 2. We have to for the culture.” Gunn recently told Complex. Be on the lookout for more details on what to expect from Everybody Can’t Go on HotNewHipHop in the coming days.
Lil Wayne and 2 Chainz are two artists who have collaborated quite a bit in the past. Overall, the two know how to make some phenomenal tracks together. In fact, they have an entire collaborative project. This album was released back in 2016 and is simply called ColleGrove. Although only 2 Chainz is credited as the primary artist, this is still very much a collab tape. It is one that is wrapped in nostalgia, and fans have been waiting for some kind of follow-up.
Well, it is pretty clear that Lil Wayne is in album mode right now. He just dropped Tha Fix Before Tha VI which was a teaser to Tha Carter VI. Prior to dropping his much-awaited sequel to his popular album series, Wayne is now teaming up with 2 Chainz again. This time, they are going to be dropping a follow-up to ColleGrove. The album is appropriately titled Welcome 2 ColleGrove and the lead single “Presha” dropped last night. Furthermore, it would appear as though we have a release date.
According to new information from Apple Music, you can expect Welcome 2 ColleGrove to come out on Friday, November 17th. Overall, this is a very interesting move considering Nicki Minaj is going to release her album on the very same day. Considering Wayne and Nicki’s relationship, one could wonder about the thought process here. Especially when you consider how Minaj had announced her album first. However, there is always the strong possibility that it is all just random chance.
No matter what, both albums are going to get their fair share of love once they drop. Wayne and 2 Chainz are two artists with massive fanbases, and this project promises to be a great one. Let us know your expectations for Welcome 2 ColleGrove, in the comments section down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world.

The last time we heard a solo album from 42-year-old Danny Brown was in 2019 when he dropped off Uknowhatimsayin¿. Since then, hip-hop heads have been eager to hear more from the Texas-based creative, who’s been hinting at his upcoming LP, Quaranta for some time now. Today (October 17), a release date of November 17 was finally confirmed, along with the arrival of Brown’s “Tantor” single and an Uncanny-directed visual featuring an eye-catching futuristic cyborg suit.
Earlier this year, the “Grown Up” recording artist completed a stint in rehab that’s seemingly changed his outlook on many things in life. As a result, it’s likely we’ll be introduced to a new version of Brown through his latest body of work. Pitchfork notes that he’s described Quaranta (meaning “40” in Italian) as a “spiritual bookend” to his 2011 effort, XXX, which arrived on his 30th birthday.
Elsewhere in 2023, Brown connected with JPEGMAFIA for a joint LP called Scaring the Hoes. They subsequently went on tour together, which helped amp the Detroit-born lyricist’s audience up for his next solo project, as well as expand his already impressive fanbase. The next time you can catch the rapper live will be at the 10th annual Bruiser Thanksgiving, which he’s set to host and perform at on November 22 at the Russell Industrial Center in his hometown.
On his Quaranta album, Danny Brown will be collaborating with a small host of other artists. Bruiser Wolf joins him on “Y.B.P.,” followed by Kassa Overall’s work on “Jenn’s Terrific Vacation.” The final joint effort on the tracklist is “Celibate” featuring MIKE. Keep scrolling to see all 11 songs on the upcoming LP, and let us know if you’ll be streaming when it drops on November 17 in the comments.
At the end of this week, Lil Wayne is scheduled to drop his new album Tha Fix Before Tha VI. The offering comes just ahead of the release of Tha Carter VI, on September 29. He teased the project earlier this month, providing fans with the project’s cover art. The performer took to social media today to unveil its tracklist, and to share the news of its release date.
According to his post, the album features Jon Batiste, Euro, and Fousheé. The 10-track album is sure to hold fans over while they await the sixth installment of Lil Wayne’s Tha Carter series. News of Tha Fix Before Tha VI certainly came as a welcome surprise to listeners, who have been waiting on Tha Carter VI for some time now. The LP is also Lil Wayne’s first solo effort since his 2020 mixtape, No Ceilings.
According to reports, Tha Carter VI and Tha Fix Before Tha VI aren’t the only projects that Lil Wayne plans to drop this year. During a recent interview with BET, 2 Chainz also revealed that he has a collaborative album with Lil Wayne on the way, COLLEGROVE 2. “I consider Wayne my brother and love working with him,” the artist explained. “The album is expected to drop before the year ends, and Amazon Music will support the project.”
Are you looking forward to Lil Wayne’s album Tha Fix Before Tha VI dropping later this week? What do you think of the tracklist? Share your thoughts in the comments section, and be sure to keep an eye on HNHH for more updates on Lil Wayne. Check out the tracklist down below.

Bad Bunny’s interview with Vanity Fair dropped recently, and saw him opening up about his romance with Kendall Jenner, his inspirations, and more. Of course, he also discussed his new music. It was reported that the Puerto Rican performer planned to drop his next album sometime this year, however, some new text messages appear to suggest otherwise. A screenshot of the texts seems to show Bad Bunny asking where he confirmed the new album’s coming in 2023, and claiming that he never said that.
This doesn’t necessarily mean that the album won’t arrive this year. It just may not be as set in stone as fans previously thought. As expected, supporters eagerly-awaiting his next project have made their disappointment known on social media, taking to Twitter to weigh in. “NOOOOOOOOOO,” one commenter writes. “Aw man!” another social media user says.
Though Bad Bunny’s new album might be arriving later than fans had hoped, it is sure to pack a punch. Bad Bunny said he feels more connected to this album than others, and it could be his most vulnerable yet. “Now more than ever,” he began. “I feel more confident in talking about what I think, what I feel, and how I am living through my music.”
As for his rumored fling with Jenner, the 29-year-old kept his lips mostly sealed. He took the opportunity to instead call out fans expecting to know every intimate detail of celebrities’ personal lives. The artist noted that they deserve privacy just like anyone else. “I’m not really interested in clarifying anything because I have no commitment to clarify anything to anyone,” he expressed. Are you disappointed that the new album could arrive later than expected? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates on Bad Bunny.
Apple unveiled the latest iPhone model on September 12. Although there are more of the same, there are also significant differences. This year, the products announced at the Apple Event are three-fold. The Apple Watch Series 9 was introduced, as well as the Apple Watch Series Ultra 2, and also the iPhone 15 series. The event, tagged “Wonderlust,” was held at Apple Park, and received extensive media coverage.
The annual unveiling event typically covers product announcements and information about upcoming software updates. The upgrades contained in the iPhone 15 series, however, are far beyond just software advancements. It is a significantly improved iteration of the iPhone 14, which has continued to reach new heights with each upgrade. The iPhone 15 also boasts some swanky new features that would appeal to most tech-savvy users. Nonetheless, even regular Joes will enjoy the new line of upcoming Apple products. The iPhone has now become a substitute for recording studios, movie cameras, and more. In this internet age where technology advances daily, the iPhone may arguably be heads and shoulders above every other smartphone out right now. It will also be available to pre-order on Apple’s website from Friday, September 15.
The iPhone 15 series consists of four variants of the model. These are: iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and the iPhone 15 Pro Max. They are the seventeenth-generation flagship iPhones and are preceded by the iPhone 14 series. Much like the 14, however, the latest gadget will share the same model system, with minor adjustments for better user experience.
The Design
Keeping the trend of the last few generations of iPhones, the design changes on the iPhone 15 are not particularly new. Specifically, the model shares a striking similarity with models from the previous generations, especially the iPhone 14. However, the subtle changes in the design of the iPhone 15 series may make all the difference to some, owing entirely to their distinction, especially with the Pro models.
The iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus look quite similar to the iPhone 14, but have been designed to be more comfortable to hold. A slight curve on the back edges of the 15 and 15 Plus models should ensure more comfort with handling the phones. The iPhone 15 also weighs slightly less than the iPhone 14, at an outstanding 6.03 oz (171.0g). Similarities between the base 14 and 15 models also include the volume controls and lock/unlock button, which appear in the same locations. The iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus are available in the following colors; black, blue, green, yellow, and pink.
With the Pro models, however, the design of the iPhone 15 is more dramatically upgraded. Most notably, the materials the Pro models are made of are vastly different. For example, the frames of the iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max are reportedly made of aerospace-grade titanium. This is as opposed to the stainless steel frames of the iPhone 14 series. Additionally, the mute switch has been replaced by a new customizable action button. Furthermore, the iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max will have four new color options. They are listed on the Apple website as black titanium, white titanium, blue titanium, and natural titanium.
The sizes of the standard and pro models of the iPhone 15 have stayed the same as the iPhone 14 series. However, the resolution of the 15 series is notably higher than the 14, as well as older models. Furthermore, the lightning connector has finally been ditched for the USB-C, making the iPhone 15 series the first generation of iPhones with this feature. The inclusion of this feature leads to the next interesting addition to the latest iPhones — reverse charging. Apple Watches and 2nd-gen AirPods Pros can now be charged by plugging into an iPhone 15. AirPods Pros will similarly include a USB-C port for charging.
Another noteworthy new feature is the installment of the A17 Pro chip on the phones. Additionally, the iPhone 15 Pro models have the Apple GPU 6-core installed. They also each have a RAM of 8GB, more phone memory than any of the older iterations of the iPhone. Finally, as expected, the cameras on these iPhones are much cooler and more dynamic than their predecessors. According to the iPhone 15 trailer, the iPhone 15 Pro has “a camera that can literally shoot a blockbuster film.”
Prices and Release
The prices of the iPhone 15 series depend on the model and specifications of the smartphone. Below is a breakdown of the price of each iPhone in the series.
(Standard) iPhone 15
128GB: $799

Nas will be dropping his next collaborative album with Hit-Boy, Magic 3, later this week, on Thursday, September 14, 2023. He made the announcement on Instagram, Tuesday, thanking fans for their continued support of both himself and his frequent collaborator over the years.
“I want to thank everyone for taking this ride with @hitboy & I. It’s been nothing short of Magical! The Album Drops On My Birthday. 9•14 at 9PM. Forever Grateful, Enjoy!! Nasir Jones,” he captioned a blurry photo of himself. Fans were stoked to hear the announcement in the comments section. “Greatness. Nasir, a true representation of hip hop who is always doing it for the culture,” one fan commented. Another wrote: “What a great run. peace to the goat.”

A third project in the Magic series comes just a few short months after Nas dropped the prior album. At the time, he remarked on social media that he’s in the midst of the best year of his life. “I’m happy to be around making new music because I love it,” he wrote on Twitter. “Having the best year of my life. I caught the Holy Spirit and I’m grateful to be giving it all to the world. Magic 2.” Magic 2 featured 50 Cent and 21 Savage. Check out Nas’ announcement for the new Magic album below.
Following the release of Magic 3, Nas will have dropped six consecutive albums produced by Hit-Boy. The run has notched the two a Grammy Award for Best Rap Album with the original King’s Disease as well as nominations for Best Rap Song and a second for Best Rap Album. Be on the lookout for further updates on Nas’ Magic 3 on HotNewHipHop in the coming days.
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.
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.
