November 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

“10 MILL BOND, 1.5 MILL CASH BAIL WAS THE TICKET BAIL PAID SAME DAY ARE YOU DUMB, SHEFF G BACK NEW YORK. WE F***ING LITTTTT THEY COUNTED ME OUT!! THEY THOUGHT I WAS DONE , PEACE AND LOVE TO YALL LOL.” That is the energy that Sheff G is on across his new album, Proud Of Myself. If you remember, the New York drill rapper and songwriter was dealing with a gun possession case and multiple gang allegations. But that wasn’t going to keep him down for long. It’s a big day for Sheff G, as Proud Of Myself is a bit of a victory lap.

Themes of self-growth, success, and resiliency are peppered throughout the 15-song offering, his first since 2022’s From The Can. This project arrives at another opportune time for Sheff G, because pretty soon, a close friend of his is going to drop a LP in about two weeks. Sleepy Hallow is going to drop his project on December 6, perhaps as a continuation of this celebration of freedom. These two albums have a close relation to one another also because of the rollout. Sheff G and Sleepy Hallow were putting out singles together on two-packs. Overall, their brotherhood is real and it’s proving to be even more so over these next couple of weeks.

Sheff G & Sleepy Hallow Are Back To Tease Their Albums With Softer Vibes “Never Again” & “Upgrade My Life”

November 16, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Sheff G isn’t one to consistently drop more sensual tracks, but he’s doing that this weekend with “Never Again.” It’s a brand-new promotional record for his upcoming album Proud of Myself, which comes out next Friday, November 22. This is the second offering so far, with the first being “Today.” That hit streaming on November 1. Also teasing an album in tandem with Sheff is one his New York drill counterparts, Sleepy Hallow.

He’s left off a similar vibe to G’s “Never Again,” however, it’s more of an introspective listen. Hallow’s “Upgrade My Life” is just what the title says it’s about, as he raps in a lowkey demeanor about getting his mom a more comfortable lifestyle while living lavishly himself. This single is also his second from his respective project that’s coming on December 6, READ THIS WHEN YOU WAKE UP. It’s more a trap/pop rap cut compared to Sheff G’s which is in the sexy drill vein. Him and Lil Tecca vow to fix things with women they both feel they’ve wronged too many times. If you are wanting to hear how they fare with these topics, check them out via the combo EP that includes each single called Don’t Sleep While It’s Lit -Part 2, below.

Don’t Sleep While It’s Lit – Part 2 – Sheff G, Sleepy Hallow, & Lil Tecca

Quotable Lyrics From “Never Again”:

Reason she f***in’ with Tecca, I’m tryna do better, I’m gettin’ her wetter
Ayy, she give me top in the back of the Tesla
I’m ridin’ a Jester, I feel like I’m Lester
Ayy, know what you want, then you gotta be honest
She probably just got that real n**** to ‘tect her (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Ayy, she wild like Ke$ha, ayy, she bad, ayy, she pressure (Oh yeah)

August 16, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Sheff G Finds A Groove With His Woozy New Single “Own Lane”

August 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Sheff G is easily identifiable. The rapper has a highly distinct flow, regardless of what kind of production he’s on. He’s developed a rapport with Sleepy Hallow and together they have developed a sort of post-Pop Smoke New York sound. It works, and Sheff G knows it. “Own Lane,” his latest song, is further proof. The single doesn’t have a boisterous chorus or aggressive instrumental, but it has an undeniably catchy quality. A lot of it comes down to Sheff G’s delivery, and the way he finds unique pockets within the beat.

“Own Lane” is two and a half minutes of menace. Sheff flexes his lifestyle in the song’s chorus, and it serves as an effective mission statement for his persona as a whole. “I’m in my own lane, I get to that breesh,” Sheff G raps. “I don’t f*ck with rats, but I get to that cheese. Shawty make it-, shawty make that-.” The last part of the line is cut off by the hi-hats of the instrumental, which drops in drum and synth hits at unexpected points. “Own Lane” has a shape to it, but it feels looser and subsequently stranger than your average rap track. Sheff G’s bars are pretty standard, and admittedly, he’s less compelling when he isn’t going back and forth with Sleepy Hallow. That said, “Own Lane” is a solid release that die-hard will adore.

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.

Sheff G Continues To Refine His Signature Sound

Quotable Lyrics:

I just spent like 20 in Chanely, where we going next?
A mill’ a half I spent on bail, you n**gas not a threat
Bro just copped a Lamb’, boy, this ain’t no renty
Yeah, this car go fast, this a Trackhawk, baby

Sleepy Hallow & Sheff G Drop Sexually-Charged Collab “Yes Freestyle”

July 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Sleepy Hallow and Sheff G share a lot of things in common. Both are from the city of Brooklyn, New York, they navigate a similar drill sound palette, and each of them love getting active with women. That is the topical focus of this latest Sleepy Hallow and Sheff G collab, “Yes Freestyle”. This single has a thumping instrumental that is synonymous with this area of rap. The kicks are very potent, giving this beat some extra oomph. Additionally, Sleepy and Sheff’s flows are easy to follow and making for a catchy tune. However, a song like this from the “2055” rapper should not be a surprise to anyone at this point.

“Yes Freestyle” is just hit in the Sleepy Hallow catalog. His 2023 album, Boy Meets World, features several go-to tracks. Two of those include “A N X I E T Y” with TDE signee Doechii and “Die Young” featuring 347aidan. Both songs alone have over 300+ million streams. Additionally, one of Sleep’s most recent offerings, “Winners In Paris”, is also making some noise with over 13 million plays on Spotify. But straying away from his solo stuff, him and Sheff G are also quite the dynamic duo. “Weight On Me” is their most popular to date, but they have plenty of others out there. Maybe they should make a collab album?

Listen To “Yes Freestyle” By Sleepy Hallow & Sheff G

Quotable Lyrics:

Hold on, ayy, let’s get active
Trap house still doin’ backflips
Baby, you fine, I find you attractive
Where your man at? Let me subtract him, ayy
A** too fat, you be causin’ this traffic
Baby, you causin’ this madness

May 24, 2024 by newhiphopnews

A post shared by Team Trump (@teamtrump)

Interesting co-sign for Trump. Sheff G and Sleepy Hallow were of over 32 alleged gang members arrested in a 140-count indictment in New York on May 16, 2023. This is a fun way to celebrate the one year anniversary.

According to the New York Daily News, Sheff G and Sleepy Hallow treated fellow gang members to a splurging dinner at a Manhattan steak house in celebration of a 2020 shooting executred at Prospect Lefferts Gardens that killed 23-year-old Theodore Senior and injured five mores.

In addition, one of the members was awarded with a new custom gold chain referencing the street the dead man was from. According to NYPD Deputy Chief Jason Savino, the members wore matching outfits during their visit to the steakhouse.

24-year-old Sheff G, born Michael Williams, and 23-year-old, Sleepy Hollow, born Tegan Chambers, and 30 additional gang members were connected to 27 occasions of violence, which included at minium a dozen shootings. The arrested men and women are alleged members of 8 Trey Crips and 9 Way gangs.

“Sheff G is not a wannabe drill rapper. He is a legitimate person who made it good. He has gold records, he’s made a lot of money. He rented a very large house, some may call it a mansion, in Short Hills, N.J.,” Gonzalez said.

He added, “He [Sheff G] used his fame and fortune to elevate gang violence in Brooklyn.”

The investigation began after the Gardens shooting, sparked by social media disses between G and a Folk Nation gang-affiliated rapper. The shooting was executed in partnership of 8 Trey and 9 way. Authorities revealed a text message from Sheff G’s sister Williams’ stated members of the rival gangs needed “to get hit or killed.” Sheff G asked for receipts to show the executed shooting, receiving images fo the victim and news articles.

Additional acts of violence in the report include a retaliation shooting at Sheff G’s mansion. Sheff G driving to Flatbush with shooters and executing another retaliation shooting, and the kidnapping and beating of a man who is believed to have gave up Sheff G’s home location.

Sheff G was already in custody, serving two years for gun possession. He was originally slated to be released in June. The new indictment holds charges of murder, attempted murder, conspiracy, weapon possession, assault and gang assault.

Sheff G And Sleepy Hallow Attend Donald Trump’s Presidential Rally

May 24, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Sheff G and Sleepy Hallow are no strangers to controversy. The Brooklyn rappers were indicted on conspiracy charges in 2023, and subject to an intense, lengthy trial. Now, they’re cozying up to the former President of the United States. What a difference a year makes. Donald Trump recently held a presidential rally in New York City, and he decided to bring out Sheff G and Sleepy Hallow to vouch for his character. It’s a curious choice, admittedly, but a fascinating one nonetheless.

In footage posted by No Jumper, Trump can be seen introducing the drill stars. “Here as well is rapper Sheff G… and rapper Sleepy Hallow,” he yells to the audience. Sheff G then walks onstage, and quickly voices support for President Trump. “One thing I wanna say,” he asserts. “They always gonna whisper your accomplishments and shout your failures. Trump gonna shout the wins for all of us.” The rapper then echoes Trump’s slogan to an enthused crowd. “Make American great again!” Sleepy Hallow is present during Sheff G’s remarks but doesn’t get a chance to make any of his own.

Sheff G Endorsed The “Make American Great Again” Slogan

Sheff G has been on a mission to reclaim his career momentum after being released from prison in April. The rapper recently sat down for a profile with Complex, and claimed that he’ll transcend the drill scene that he helped pioneer in the previous decade. “I’m leaving stepping stones for everybody that’s coming up and I’m just motivating the crowd,” he posited. “So if you standing with me, you know you’re sturdy, and that’s how everybody else should feel… I’m going to prove it through everything I’m doing. They know what’s going on. They got to know what’s going on.”

This is not the first time Donald Trump has brought a rapper onstage to endorse his presidential run. He famously brought out Lil Pump during a 2020 rally in the rapper’s home state. The prestigious Lil Pump endorsement was overshadowed, though, because Trump messed up his name. “Speaking of sound, music and other things, one of the big superstars of the world, Little Pimp,” he told the Florida crowd. “There he is.” Pump took the mistake in stride and later donned a MAGA hat on stage. For better or for worse, Sheff and Sleepy Hallow’s appearance at the New York rally was nowhere near as memorable.
