Rich The Kid, Famous Dex, & Jay Critch Get The Band Back Together For “Rich Forever 5”

October 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Rich The Kid, Famous Dex, and Jay Critch (Rich Forever) were one of the bigger rap groups in the late 2010’s. However, over the last half decade, the trap trio has been focusing on their solo careers. Since 2019, Rich The Kid has put out four tapes, one of which was a collab tape with Lil Wayne called Trust Fund Babies. Furthermore, the Georgia native has been on some of the largest records over the last year with Kanye West’s “CARNIVAL” being one of them. For, Famous Dex, he’s been laying extremely low. He just has one tape to his name, which is 2020’s Diana. Finally, the New Yorker, Jay Critch, he’s got five LPs to his name.

Now, after all of this time, they are reuniting for Rich Forever 5, the fifth entry in their trio’s discography. There wasn’t a ton of promotion for this record, as they dropped off “Big Dawg” in mid-December last year. Furthermore, there wasn’t a lot of information surrounding it in terms of its progression since that lead single. But the wait is finally over for those who have been yearning for a reunion. Here, Rich, Dex, and Critch, keep the tracklist to 16 cuts, with features from Trippie Redd, Kodak Black, and Lil Crix. Stream the project with the DSP links below.

Rich The Kid Grabs Rob49 For Extended Version Of “New Chanel Freestyle” Off His Recent Album

September 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

During the fairly stacked month of July, Rich The Kid put out his fourth full-length offering, Life’s A Gamble. There was a fair amount of hype behind the release, outside of it being his first solo work in four years. Perhaps the biggest reason is because of Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign’s involvement over the entire album. The VULTURES creators were credited as executive producers, which is always a benefit. Both have great ears for beats, and they didn’t run of out taste for the Georgia native. One of the best beats Rich The Kid selected was for “New Chanel Freestyle”.

Sure, the track only clocks in at 1:26, but SkipOnDaBeat was really in his bag with this one. The bass, kick drums, and 808s are mean mug worthy and it has an overall intimidating presence when it kicks in. After Rich’s verse ends, it certainly sounds as if there could’ve been another verse. Well, he’s doing exactly that this weekend, but it’s not coming from him. Instead, he brings on Rob49 to tie things together. See how the Louisiana native performs with the audio link below.

“New Chanel” – Rich The Kid & Rob49

Quotable Lyrics:

Turnt up bad and I’m in these streets (Yeah), I don’t wan’ beef through no tweet, lil’ boy
If it’s beef, then we took plan A, tryna find out where you be, boy (Uh-huh, yeah)
Yeah (Yeah), I’m on a codeine pill right now (Yeah)
N**** try to run, he’ll chase ’em down (Yeah)
I’m in the hood with choppers, boppers and gods (Cut), you a pistol-popper (Yeah)
Christian Dior with me (Hoo), Chanel my new bitch, please (Uh)

Rich The Kid Delivers “Life’s A Gamble”, Executively Produced By Kanye West

July 19, 2024 by newhiphopnews

“I feel like everything in life’s a gamble. You walk out the front door, you could get hit by a bus. Everything’s a gamble. I’ve taken wins and losses with my career, and I felt it was a perfect title”. That was Rich The Kid explaining the meaning behind the title of his latest studio album, Life’s A Gamble to Billboard. This is the Queens, New York native’s first solo record since 2020’s BOSS MAN. However, he did drop two collaborative tapes that same year —Origin and Nobody Safe— and Trust Fund Babies with Lil Wayne in 2021.

While a fair number of those past releases had lukewarm results, Life’s A Gamble, hopes to perform better. It helps that Rich The Kid has built up a lot of momentum coming in. A lot of that stems from him being on the number one record “CARNIVAL” off of Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign’s VULTURES 1. Speaking of those two, Rich The Kid grabbing them to executive produce this LP had fans licking their lips. Finally, the lead singles, “Gimme A Second” and its sequel, as well as “Band Man”, have also been performing well.

What we can say about LAG is that you can tell that Kanye and Ty were big contributors. That is especially true when it comes to the production. For the most part, the beats and the guests attached are the stars of the show (Chief Keef, Offset, Quavo, etc.). However, Rich does have solid performances here such as “Gimme A Second” and “Not In The Mood”. But will all of this be enough to negate the long wait and numerous track and feature removals? It sure is a gamble and we will see if it pays off for Rich The Kid soon.

Life’s A Gamble– Rich The Kid

Life’s A Gamble Tracklist:

Intro
Gimme A Second with Peso Pluma
Not In The Mood with Offset
New Chanel Freestyle
Upside Down with French Montana
Back Then
Louie Coat with Chief Keef
Band Man
Like Yoga with BIA
Hold On
Tell Me with Young Adz
Gimme A Second 2 with Kanye West, Ty Dolla $ign, Peso Pluma
Keep It Exclusive with Quavo
Sometimes
No Mileage
Plain Jane with Kanye West
Rocking & Rolling

Is Kanye West Retiring From Music?

July 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Yesterday (July 9), rapper Rich The Kid stressed Kanye West fans all the way out when he shared a screenshot from a text message thread he said was between Rich and Kanye. In it, Kanye appears to contemplate retirement, writing, “I am retiring from professional music. Not sure what else to do.” Rich responds with words of encouragement, telling Ye, “The ppl NEED you.”

So, is Kanye West actually retiring from music?

It doesn’t seem to be out of the realm of possibility. There’s a sense of helplessness behind his message, which could stem from the producer’s recent album distribution struggles. His collaborative album with Ty Dolla Sign, Vultures, was delayed multiple times, then split into three parts, but since announcing its triple album status, Ye has only been able to drop one installment, missing the targeted release dates for the follow-ups, and never really announcing any new ones.

That first part was seemingly only released because West and Ty were able to sneak it into a distributor’s system, but it was promptly removed from some DSPs, and since then, Ye has appeared to be unable to secure another distributor. At one point, he contemplated releasing it directly through his own website or app, but those plans have apparently fallen through — and generated a lawsuit, to boot.

However, all of this might just be moot speculation. Later the same day, Rich quoted XXL‘s tweet about Kanye’s “retirement” to admit it was all just a marketing ploy. Kanye West appears on Rich’s new album, Life’s A Gamble, which drops next Friday, July 19. While the ol’ fake retirement is a tried-and-tested formula (that rarely actually works, by the way), that doesn’t mean Kanye isn’t getting out of the music biz — after all, he still has yet to even announce a solid release date for Vultures 2 — let alone actually releasing it — so he might as well be retired already for all intents and purposes.

Kanye West Is Apparently ‘Retiring From Professional Music,’ As He Supposedly Told A Collaborator

July 9, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign fans are currently waiting for Vultures 2, and it’s currently unknown when the project will surface. In fact, based on what Ye supposedly just said, it looks like it may never come out at all.

On his Instagram Story today (July 9), Rich The Kid shared what is allegedly a screenshot of a text message conversation between Kanye West and himself. In it, West writes, “I am retiring from professional music. Not sure what else to do.”

Rich responds, “Retire? Why ? How ? The ppl NEED you the music you & Ty & we have made was the BIGGEST STAMP in culture to this date In 2024. Drop Ye about mine & V2 and we do it all over again the kids need you big bra fasho maybe some time to chill but retiring ain’t it.”

West has certainly become a controversial figure in recent years, but if he were to retire today and not release any more music, his body of work as it stands now would be among the all-time greats.

He has 11 No. 1 albums to his name, making him one of only a few artists with at least 10. West also has five No. 1 singles, starting with 2005’s “Gold Digger” and most recently with his latest one, “Carnival” alongside Ty Dolla Sign, Rich The Kid, and Playboi Carti. He has earned 75 Grammy Award nominations and picked up 24 wins.

Rich The Kid, Kanye West And Ty Dolla Sign Flex On “Gimme A Second 2”

June 21, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Rich the Kid already struck gold with “Gimme a Second.” The hard-hitting single sounded slick and nocturnal, and the Peso Pluma verse introduce Rich to a brand new audience. It was hard to imagine a sequel would be able to match the song’s lightning in a bottle feel. Somehow, Rich the Kid managed to top it. The rapper enlisted Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign, who are basically a duo at this point, and they supercharge the single “Gimme a Second 2.”

Credit to Rich the Kid. He didn’t just get two new artists and throw them on the same instrumental. He rolled out “Gimme a Second 2” with a new sound that evokes Yeezus-era Kanye West. There are eerie choirs in the background, and the hard drum pattern that was buried in the original mix is pushed to the front. It’s to the song’s benefit. Rich the Kid sounds more aggressive during his verse, but the real scene stealer is Kanye. The controversial rapper’s best lyrical moments are behind him, but he still knows how to be memorable. “Girl named Dallas, send a hundred texts,” he raps. “Before I send a b**ch a blessing. I need to see if the sex good, I’m a sexist.” West’s flow is reminiscent of his turn on the Rick Ross single “Sanctified,” which is a good thing. It worked then, and it works now.

Let us know what you think of this brand-new track, in the comments section down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will continue to keep you informed on all of your favorite artists and their upcoming projects.

Rich The Kid Finally Releases “Band Man” Along With Peso Pluma Collab “Gimme A Second”

May 24, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Rich The Kid is the midst of pretty big comeback. The Queens, New York rapper is still riding high off being on one of the biggest records of 2024. That of course is “CARNIVAL” off VULTURES 1. For some, the track came and went. But there is no denying that it was being played everywhere at the time of its release. Now, we are gearing up for Rich The Kid to make his solo return possibly sometime this summer with Life’s a Gamble.

After some pretty underwhelming projects, namely BOSS MAN and Trust Fund Babies, it is clear that he is going big or going home on his third album. Ty Dolla $ign and Kanye West are the executive producers and rumors say there will be a crazy number of features. One of those we know now, as Peso Pluma makes an appearance on “Gimme A Second.” This one of two singles that Rich has put out, with the long-awaited “Band Man” being released in unison.

Listen To “Gimme A Second / Band Man” By Rich The Kid & Peso Pluma

Both tracks do not really stand out from a lyrical perspective, even though Rich has never been seen as a wordsmith. But where both singles shine are production wise, perhaps to no surprise. DJ Durel, “Gimme A Second”, and d.a. got that dope, “Band Man”, both lay down some tight trap instrumentals. Each one has a distinctive vibe and overall carry the tracks. However, we have to give credit to Peso Pluma, as he does bring an animated performance.

What are your thoughts on “Gimme A Second / Band Man” by Rich The Kid and Peso Pluma? Which track do you prefer out of the two and why? Does this get you excited for Life’s a Gamble? Who had the stronger performance on “Gimme A Second?” 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 Rich The Kid and Peso Pluma. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

Quotable Lyrics From “Gimme A Second”:

Gotta flex a lot
I was broke as hell walkin’ around passin’ CD’s in the parking lot
Now my little b**** want five racks for a new bag ’cause I’m rich enough (Rich enough)
P***y good, had to pay for it, let me knock it out like The Juggernaut (Juggernaut, yeah)
Let me stop (Hold on)

Ye Links Up With Yung Lean And Rich The Kid

April 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

This week Ye, formerly Kanye West, is facing a new series of allegations spawning from his Donda Academy. A new lawsuit filed against him accuses the rapper of discrimination and retaliation, but it’s some of the details included in the suit that got fan’s attention. It accuses West of threatening to shave children’s heads and put them in cages. It’s a continuation of lawsuits that came out last year making even more bizarre allegations about the Academy. Though a new report has shined a new light on one of the most recent lawsuits. It revealed that the man who filed it actually still has a daughter in the Donda choir.

While all of this is going on, fans are hoping Ye is hard at work on VULTURES 2. We’ve gotten some hints in recent weeks that he could be hard at work on the album like videos of him and Ty Dolla $ign in the studio. Now a new picture of the rapper making the rounds online might even hint at some of the artists who could appear on the record. That picture features Yung Lean and Rich The Kid hanging out with West. Rich contributed to “CARNIVAL” the breakout hit song from VULTURES 1. There’s still no information on when the second album will arrive but fans hope it’s coming very soon.

Ye Poses With Yung Lean And Rich The Kid

West has continued to host VULTURES listening parties in places all over the world. He’s given fans some very small tastes of what may be coming on the second edition of his VULTURES series. He promised that there were three full volumes of the album series on the way.

Despite being pretty late from their originally announced release dates many are still holding their breath. What do you think of Ye posing alongside Yung Lean and Rich The Kid? Are you hoping the pair appear on his next album VULTURES 2? Let us know in the comment section below.
