Lance Skiiiwalker Shares “Beantown” Ahead of New Album, “Audiodidactic”

by

Lance Skiiiwalker has returned with a new single inspired by the city of Boston, “Beantown.” The track arrives ahead of the release of Skiiiwalker’s next album, Audiodidactic.

As for why he chose to name the song, “Beantown,” the TDE rapper explained in a statement that he traveled to the city while on tour.

“I experienced Boston once while I was on tour, it felt like a really cool city.” Skiiiwalker said. “Thinking about it more, I realized it was missing a love song. I haven’t heard anything about Boston in that world. The record is more about the vibes I felt there than a particular person, the girl is a metaphor.”

Audiodidactic will feature guest appearances from Isaiah Rashad, Ab-Soul, and V.C.R. It’s Skiiiwalker’s first full-length release since 2016’s Introverted Intuition and first overall project since dropping a pair of EPs in 2021.

Since joining TDE in 2016, Skiiiwalker has appeared on a number of projects for artists on the label. Among them are ScHoolboy Q’s Oxymoron (Deluxe), Jay Rock’s 90059, Kendrick Lamar’s untitled unmastered, Isaiah Rashad’s The House is Burning, and more. He most recently made an appearance on Ab-Soul’s Herbert for the song, “Message in a Bottle.”

Check out Lance Skiiiwalker’s “Beantown” below and be on the lookout for Audiodidacic on February 10.

Quotable Lyrics:

Let’s go to Beantown
Baby, come down
Just wanna be down, be down
Been long since the last time
So long you’re still mine
I just wanna be down, be down

by

Still fresh off of the release of her latest EP, Kamaiyah has returned with a new single titled, “Champagne Tears.” On the track, the Oakland rapper sings about using wealth as a coping mechanism.

“The money ain’t a thing / I’m sippin’ champagne through the pain,” Kamaiyah sings on the track.

She further raps, “I remain ’cause I still got sauce, bitch / Want me to fall, but I won’t though / Rapper turned mogul / About to take this shit and go global / Got the rap game in a chokehold.”

On Twitter ahead of the song’s release, Kamaiyah teased that they’d be dropping music more consistently.

“I’m focusing on dropping more consistently and not looking at that numbers,” she tweeted. “This the first time I’ve been able to just have fun and put out cool shit that I actually fuck wit.”

“Champagne Tears” arrives after Kamaiyah released the seven-track Keep It Lit EP in December. They also shared the single, “Thru The Week,” earlier this month. Looking ahead, Kamaiyah is reportedly planning on dropping an album later this year.

Since 2020, Kamaiyah has been releasing music through her own label, GRND.WRK. She launched the imprint after severing ties with both Interscope Records and 4Hunnid Records.

Check out Kamaiyah’s “Champagne Tears” below.

Quotable Lyrics:

The money ain’t a thing
I’m sippin’ champagne through the pain
No, the tears won’t fall down my eyes

Amber Rose Says She Wants To Be Single Forever

by

Amber Rose recently expressed that she wants to be single forever, and fans can’t blame her. While the star model dated a few recognizable stars back in the day, it seems she’s looking forward to an easier life. Moreover, she opened up on the Sofia with an F podcast to share her thoughts on men.

“It’s worse than ever,” she expressed. “They’re pretty disgusting out here. They’re f***ing gross. Like, I wanna be single for the rest of my life.” Furthermore, she stated that she’s not down to share her home or life with anyone. Also, she doesn’t feel comfortable introducing a new man to her children. However, she particularly emphasized the physical aspect of it. “I don’t want to have sex … It’s so gross. I don’t want it.”

From Rose’s words, it seems dating dissuaded her from relationships with men, which she sees as out of the question. Still, the 39-year-old’s past probably led her to this conclusion. For example, she dated Kanye West, Wiz Khalifa, 21 Savage, and Alexander “AE” Edwards. Moreover, she claimed that AE cheated on her with at least 12 different women. Later, they split over the summer in 2021, and she’s been (publicly) single ever since.

Meanwhile, Amber will probably have more time to focus on other endeavors. Recently, she said that she could beat her friend Blac Chyna in a rap battle. Moreover, she entertained the idea on Drink Champs with N.O.R.E and renowned battle rapper Murda Mook. After the host suggested that she face Black Chyna on the stage, Amber confidently stated that “she’ll lose.”

Also, she got into a heated discussion with Mook over women with “no talent” in the industry. Moreover, she called out his dismissal of “untalented” women who make a lot of money from what they do. To retort, Rose asked whether that was their fault, or rather consumers who want the same thing or can’t understand those expressions of self.

Still, what do you think of Amber Rose wanting to be single forever? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments down below. Also, as always, stay tuned to HNHH for more pop culture gossip, curious statements, and relationship-bashing.

Bobby Shmurda Denounces Snitches On “Rats”

by

Bobby Shmurda’s standing on business with his latest release, “Rats.”

Shmurda unveiled a brand new single today that takes aim at the snitches in the world. His new song takes aim at those who’ve failed to stay loyal and abide by the code while also showcasing another side of Bobby. The rapper stretches his vocals out throughout the record to emphasize the pain in his voice, which is rather refreshing in comparison to his previous efforts recently. 

Bobby shared a snippet of the single a few weeks ago, which led many to believe that he was taking aim at Gunna. Since the ATL rapper copped an Alford Plea in his case, while confirming that YSL is a gang, he’s faced an immense amount of backlash. The timeliness of the record indicates that he’s dissing Gunna, though Bobby never confirmed the news. However, the opening bars undoubtedly reflected a similar situation to Gunna’s.

“Heard snitchin’ all on your friends/ Took a plea deal, left the streets real/ but left your dawg in that pen,” he raps.

Bobby Shmurda’s continued to unveil new music over the last few months. Though it took a minute for his comeback track, he released the BodBoy EP summer of 2022 and also indicated that his long-awaited debut album would drop independently. So far, he hasn’t updated fans on the debut project but he teamed up with LouGotCash in October for their joint project, SHMURDAGOTCASH.

Check out Bobby Shmurda’s new song “Rats” below.

Quotable Lyrics
That pain don’t ever end
What they played back in that courtroom
Keep playing back in his head, n***a
What all y’all n***as said
What all y’all n***as did

Wiz Khalifa Combats Lazy Stoner Narrative On “I Love To Smoke”

by

Wiz Khalifa drops another anthem for the stoners with “I Love To Smoke.”

The Taylor Gang honcho blessed fans with a new video to the single on Wednesday. The groovy record samples Rene & Angela’s “I Love You More” but Wiz uses the interpolation as a moment to profess his love for his favorite plant. Throughout the song, Wiz describes his undeniable love for smoking weed. Despite the stigma surrounding cannabis, Wiz Khalifa reflects on the success he’s experienced as a result of his habits.

“Who would of thought smokin’ weed in a basement/ Now I’m making 500 million,” he raps on the song. Between running a successful label, a fruitful music career of his own, and his numerous ventures in the cannabis industry, it’s safe to say that Wiz has defied stereotypes surrounding smokers.

The new single comes on the cusp of a series of rants where Wiz bashed stereotypes that weed makes people lazy.

“If you smoked weed for the majority of your life and you just stopped smoking weed, don’t try to convince everybody that your life has changed so much just ‘cause you quit smoking weed, dog,” Wiz began. “That shit – it don’t happen that fast. Tap in about 15 years when the effects really kick in.”

Prior to the release of “I Love To Smoke,” Wiz Khalifa shared the single, “#NeverDrinkingAgain.”

Check out his new single and video below and share your thoughts in the comments.

Quotable Lyrics
And you probably say you sober so you gotta clear mind
Well, I got a clear mind too
I know n***as who don’t smoke that swear they livin’ good
But they don’t even work out as much as I do
I know bitches who talk shit on weed but let a n***a lean
And do all other dumb shit
I’m a n***a that do what he wants and say what he like
But hey, that’s what it comes with

Travis Scott Single Again, He & Kylie Jenner Will “Always Remain Friends”: Report

by

Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott aren’t a pair who typically embrace PDA. In the early days of their relationship, we frequently caught glimpses of their life together on Instagram. Recent years have seen them embrace privacy more. However, they still step out for red-carpet events and celebrate some holidays in the public eye.

Unfortunately, in 2022, viral cheating rumours were stirring up trouble for them. A woman previously thought to be the rapper’s mistress put a telling behind-the-scenes photo on her IG Story . The father of two promptly denied any involvement, though Rojean Kar spilt plenty of tea about their relationship over the years on her own profile.

Even with all the drama, Jenner and Scott put on a united front. However, it seems they’re starting the new year on separate pages. Us Weekly reports that the pair didn’t spend this past holiday season together.

“Kylie and Travis are off again, they were supposed to spend the holidays together, but she went to Aspen to be with her family and friends up there,” the outlet’s source says. “This has happened so many times before, they’re known to be on again off again, but always remain friends and great co-parents.”

Some online sleuths were speculating about a potential separation after closely eyeing the makeup mogul’s TikTok page. In one video, her oldest child, Stormi, joins her for a sled ride. “We’re on a serious adventure right now,” Jenner tells the camera in the video from New Year’s Day.

The former couple’s most recent public appearance was in December in Miami. At the time, Scott performed alongside 50 Cent for an Art Basel party. The two got up close and personal for the cameras prior to his big performance.

After taking 2022 to recuperate from the previous year’s Astroworld Festival tragedy, the Houston native appears to be gearing up to focus on his career growth and new music in 2023.

La La Anthony On Her Love Life: “I Don’t Feel Like Any Guys Want To Date Me”

by

A new year is a time for new beginnings and optimism. However, not everyone is able to maintain cheer in every aspect of their life. For example, La La Anthony is having a hard time finding her prince charming – or so she told TMZ this week.

The gossip blog caught up with the mother of one at LAX recently. At the time, they asked about comments she made last year on the Call Her Daddy podcast. If you didn’t tune in, the Power starlet dished about the men in her DMs, specifically noting that they’re often much younger than her.

“Literally, guys will DM me, or wanna take me out. I’ll Google them and I’ll be like, ‘You’re 22 years old?!’ Like, HOW?!” she told host Alex Cooper.

Since then, it seems Anthony hasn’t had any luck settling down with a suitor. When TMZ asked about her prior comments on the podcast, she said, “I retract my statement. It’s the top of the year and I don’t feel like any guys wanna date me,” she teased with a smile and laugh.

When the interviewer asked her about her dream man’s age, she playfully said, “Age ain’t nothin’ but a number!” while hopping in the backseat of her waiting vehicle. Pressing for more, the journalist prompted her to pick between a 22-year-old guy and a 40-year-old man.

“I prefer whoever is for me,” she wisely responded. “Whoever God says is for me, I’m good with it.” However, she noted afterward that “22 is a little too young.” When it comes to 34, though, “we can do that,” she says.

Before embarking on her journey back into the world of dating, La La was married to NBA player Carmelo Anthony. They were married for seven years, and share one son, 15-year-old Kiyan, who they continue to co-parent.

redveil Closes Year With Wavy New Single, “2daside”

by

After an incredible breakout year, one of hip-hop’s most exciting new talents closed 2022 with a bang. redveil just dropped his latest single “2daside,” which is a synthy and bouncy celebratory cut. Moreover, it’s a fresh, youthful, and soulful take on trap and East Coast strains of hip-hop, combining introspection with raw energy. Also, it’s sure to please fans of one of this year’s best albums, specifically his third: learn 2 swim, where he honed that style.

Instrumentally, “2daside” employs some of the 18-year-old MC’s most engaging production techniques. Breezy synth melodies with varying timbres and textures, crisp and sharp trap percussion, and a generally submerged sound. Also, it’s infused with nostalgia, creativity, and soulful fun in the same way that his best tracks like “pg baby” function. While that nostalgia can sometimes come across as melancholy in his catalog, this new track sounds ironically summery.

Meanwhile, the Prince George’s County, Maryland native delivers a short but impassioned performance. Moreover, the track isn’t even two and a half minutes long, and yet redveil’s energy comes through infectiously. Lyrically, he seems to focus on his skill and authenticity as a rapper, saying he only cares about the love people have for him. As he continues to provide wisdom and maturity beyond his years (and most people’s, frankly), he delivered some of the year’s best material.

What did you think of redveil’s new single, “2daside”? Moreover, have you checked out his other material and features? Let us know in the comments and check out some notable lyrics and its music video down below. If you haven’t checked it out yet, you can find the vibey cut on your preferred streaming service.

You punchin’ in bars but what you gon’ do if you wan’ stand out?
Young n***a from Largo, wear my quirks, ain’t got my hands out (Yeah)
