Ian Looks To Quiet The Critics With “Shut It Down”

August 20, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The hip-hop community is mostly in an uproar over the newcomer, ian. The Dallas, Texas based rapper has been going viral online thanks to his average suburban white kid aesthetic and his way of interpolating rappers such as Yeat. Or if you ask Tyler, The Creator, he’s “mocking” Future and Gucci Mane “rap music”. Outside of the rageful mob of listeners, the California multi-hyphenate now seems to be one leading the charge. In a recent interview with Maverick Carter, he ripped into ian without necessarily saying his name directly. However, it was pretty clear once he said, “This white kid, regular Caucasian man”.

It seems like no matter what ian does, he’s going to have haters but he’s doing what he can to silence them with “Shut It Down”. This is a new “single” or “snippet” that was released onto his Instagram page according to Our Generation Music. Of course, this comes after his debut mixtape Valedictorian and its subsequent deluxe. The youngster is riding with underground rising star producer 2hollis for this track and this beat slaps pretty hard. As usual, there are some clever and hilarious lines from ian. No matter what camp your in right now, you have to admit that ian is here to stay.

Quotable Lyrics:

Huh, wrist water, I can’t see the time, but I’m havin’ the time of my life, huh
Huh, Chris Paul with the game on the line, I’m droppin’ a dime on him, huh
I’m fried but I’m takin’ another, I’m ’bout to be out of my mind, huh
I’m trying to change for the better, it’s drivin’ me f***in’ insane, hey
He on the back, I’m on the cover, we not on the same page, huh
I beat from the back, she grippin’ them covers like she on her last leg, huh

Tommy Richman Teases Another Incredible Song Snippet: Watch

July 26, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Tommy Richman is poised to become the breakout R&B star of 2024. 4batz had the baton for a little bit, but Richman came out of nowhere with his smash hit “Million Dollar Baby.” The song peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100. Tommy Richman recently went on The Good Sh*t Radio with Kal Banx, and gave fans a taste of what could potentially be his next single. The singer played an extended preview of the untitled song, and it sounds amazing.

Tommy Richman ran through some of his earlier songs on The Good Sh*t Radio. The DJ had to thrown on “Million Dollar Baby,” but the real revelation was the new song. Richman rides a slower tempo for a more reflective R&B cut. Whereas Richman’s breakout hit was aspirational, this one is about mistakes. “It’s been so long,” he sings. “Looking at my face, my eyes are a mess.” The singer goes on to realize what a “good thing” he squandered romantically. It’s right in the Brent Faiyaz, Bryson Tiller lane that Tommy Richman has found himself in. It does, however, have more of a funk bounce to it.

Tommy Richman’s Sophomore Album Is Dropping Soon

— SOUND (@itsavibe) July 26, 2024

Tommy Richman has been dropping music since 2019, but the sonic transformation has been notable. His debut album, ALLIGATOR (2022), brandished more of a punk, rage aesthetic. “Million Dollar Baby” marked a notable shift towards more of a pop sound, and the singer hasn’t looked back. “Devil Is a Lie” was Richman’s follow up to his breakout single, and it similarly popped off. It sounded like the offspring of Nelly’s “Hot In Herre” and weirder, N.E.R.D. album cuts. It didn’t quite scale the Billboard heights of its predecessor, but it cracked the top 50 and was rapturously received by fans. Even outspoken haters like Funkmaster Flex liked the song.

Richman has confirmed that his second album, COYOTE, will be dropping soon. It’s safe to assume both singles, as well as the new snippet, will make the tracklist. When asked to describe his musical approach, the singer told Lyrical Lemonade that he wanted to make people happy. “Honestly man, I just try to make cool sh*t for people but more so for me,” he explained. “It’s not about the gimmicks or cliches for me. I wanna make stuff that’s palatable and listenable but also just shit I like and am interested in.” We’d say he’s doing a good job.

Tanna Leone Previews Brand New Kendrick Lamar Song “Peter Pan”

July 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kendrick Lamar had adhered to boogeyman rules. The rapper has been dead silent since the Drake battle. He performed the “Pop Out” show on Juneteenth, and dropped the “Not Like Us” video on the Fourth of July. That’s been it. Everything pertaining to his upcoming album has been speculation and internet theorizing. Kendrick Lamar’s lack of content is what makes this new leak so exciting. Tanna Leone, a rapper formerly signed to Lamar’s pgLang label, teased a brand new collab on July 24.

The song is tentatively titled “Peter Pan.” Tanna Leone posted a thirty second snippet of the song on Instagram with the caption: “When we doin the collab tape mane?” The rapper tagged producer Cardo Got Wings, confirming that he in fact made the beat. The desire for new Kendrick Lamar music is at an all-time high, especially given the success of “Not Like Us.” That being said, “Peter Pan” does not have a ton of Lamar on it. Tanna Leone does most of the rapping, and Dot is relegated to doing ad-libs behind him. He can also be heard laughing at the 16 second mark.

Kendrick Lamar Links With Ex-pgLang Rapper Tanna Leone

Kendrick Lamar and Tanna Leone have actually collaborated in the past. The latter appeared on the song “Mr. Morale” from Lamar’s Mr. Morale and the Big Steppers (2022). The song was praised by critics, and Leone was even nominated for a Grammy for his appearance. Leone, real name Avante Santana, is also from Los Angeles, California. He signed with pgLang in 2022, and appeared in the company’s campaign for Converse. He also opened for Lamar’s cousin, Baby Keem, during the Melodic Blue Tour.

Unsurprisingly, Tanna Leone and Kendrick Lamar share a lot of musical influences. Both rappers bow at the altar of Tupac, as evidenced by Leone’s interview with Complex. “‘Pac for sure [and] DMX,” he said when asked his favorite artists. “My mom had a crazy CD collection. I was always the first one to get home, so the first thing I would do after I came in the door was go straight to the CDs. I would put on Tupac’s Greatest Hits.” There’s no word on whether “Peter Pan” will appear on a Tanna Leone or a Kendrick Lamar album, but either way, we’re glad to have a piece of it.

It has that synthpop vibe of his last two projects, and The Weeknd’s vocals are phenomenal, as always. The Weeknd captioned this new snippet by simply saying “when you gaze long enough into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you…” We have no clue what this means, but it sure sounds interesting.

Eminem Returns To “The Marshall Mathers LP” House In “Tobey” Music Video Teaser

July 5, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Eminem has fans feeling very happy these days with his new single “Tobey” featuring Big Sean and BabyTron, building up hype for the release of his new album The Death Of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce) next week (Friday, July 12). However, they are not quite as happy as they could be, as it looks like the Lyrical Lemonade-partnered music video for the track, directed by Cole Bennett, is not quite ready for release yet. But don’t fret, Marshall Mathers fans. He recently took to social media to apologize for the delay in the visuals’ release, but did include a short clip from the upcoming video to hold fans over.

“The Tobey video is not completed- new date Monday 7/8,” Eminem captioned the clip on Twitter. “Here’s a peek in the meantime!!! Sorry 4 the delay.” In the snippet, you can see BabyTron walk past Eminem, who’s sitting on the steps of his iconic house featured in the cover art for The Marshall Mathers LP and its 2013 direct sequel. It’s a bit of a full-circle moment for the Detroit legend, as well as for the city’s own Big Sean. “Not gon hold you, Slim Shady LP was the first CD i bought wit my own money at Costco,” he recently tweeted. “Me n Em bout 4 songs in now (DVE, No Favors, Detroit 2 cypher) but being on The Death Of Slim Shady is full circle. I aint know when i bought that, that id be one of the next 1’s out da city…”

Meanwhile, “Tobey” drew some interesting reactions online for wholly different reasons relating to a lot of prominent rap beef in 2024. With Kendrick Lamar and Drake going at it, maybe folks became too battle-pilled to treat Eminem’s competitive bars on the song as anything other than direct shots. Specifically, they thought that he dissed Jay-Z. But Royce Da 5’9″ quickly hopped online to debunk this rumor.

Despite all the hype behind Eminem, “Tobey,” and The Death Of Slim Shady right now, not everyone is all the way on board. “Numbers wise, Eminem is the best Detroit rapper but the gag is nobody would say that in Detroit,” the 313’s Skilla Baby recently posited. “Numbers wise, it’s Eminem but nobody in Detroit is playing Eminem right now and I was an Eminem fan as a kid. I’m a fan of Eminem but do we consider him our best rapper? I don’t think Detroit does.”

Cardi B Takes An R&B Approach In New Song Preview: Listen

July 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Cardi B is back to teasing her fans with some new music on social media as they eagerly await her sophomore LP. The Bronx, New Yorker has been taking her sweet time since the release of her GRAMMY-winning debut full of hits, Invasion of Privacy, back in 2018. However, even with it being over six years in between projects, she still has incredible pull. Cardi B’s last few solo singles such as “Enough (Miami)”, “Like What (Freestyle)”, “Bongos”, and “Hot S***” all have over 24 million streams each. Additionally, he influence is still there, as she recently won the Hollywood Unlocked Inspiration Award. Overall, the details on the hitmaker’s next album are extremely muddy.

All we can really assume right now is that those songs we mentioned are potential tracks for the project. We have no word on an artwork, features, a title, and most importantly, a release date. For now, fans of Cardi B are going to have to continue to sit around and wait patiently, although that is already highly unlikely. In fact, viewers of the 2024 BET Awards were hopelessly searching for any sort of clues about the tape. Cardi wore a bedazzled jersey with the number “11” on it and some were speculating that it could mean that CB2 is dropping in November on the 11th day of a random month.

Now with the 31-year-old superstar previewing some new music, the Bardigang will only continue to get more restless. Cardi B’s musical style is typically very aggressive and fiery, as she does not have too many slow and sensual cuts in her discography. However, she looking to experiment as evidenced by this clip from her Instagram Story. She asks her followers, “Yall like this vibe for CB2?”. The “Bodak Yellow” femcee lip syncs the lyrics to her full-on R&B snippet that sees her sing instead of rap. Her voice is heavily auto tuned, and some were criticizing how it does not even sound like her. Cardi B has not announced that this track is coming, at least for now.

Camila Cabello finally premiered her highly-anticipated collaboration with Drake, “UUGLY,” while performing at the Rock in Rio Lisboa festival on Sunday night. The track will be included on her upcoming fourth studio album, C, XOXO, which drops later this month.

Fans on social media have been having a mixed response to the track. One user on X (formerly Twitter) replied to a clip of the song: “Honestly I think drake should just take off for a year or couple months.” That remark comes after his viral feud with Kendrick Lamar. Another fan wrote: “Damn bro fell off.” Others were more positive. One Drake fan remarked: “The actual [goat emoji] international not just in the west coast. Levels to this.”

Cabello previously discussed how the collaboration came together during an interview with Billboard in May. “He’s the f*cking GOAT, so it felt like shooting for the stars,” she said at the time, recalling how she messaged him on Instagram. “I showed him the album when I felt comfortable enough and he really liked it. [The feature] came out of a nontransactional place. He had this idea of a song called ‘Hot Uptown,’ and it just felt like I was in the city. I was in Miami.” She added: “He wanted to do one more thing for the album. Why does he have his own song? Because selfishly, I just want to hear Drake on my own album … I love that for me — it’s like that rebellious mood. Who says I can’t do that? It’s Drake talking his sh*t.”

Ice Spice Showcases An Otherworldy Sound For Potential Single “Phat Butt”

June 19, 2024 by newhiphopnews

There is a belief out there that Ice Spice’s upcoming debut album Y2K! could be career altering record for better or worse. The New York rapper experienced an extremely quick rise to star status after several viral singles. It has led to brand deals, as well as co-signs from major stars. However, after the release of her first project, Like.. ? in early 2023, the quality of her releases has not been up to snuff, for the most part. Those tracks of course include “Think U The S*** (Fart)” and “Gimmie A Light”. But perhaps this potential single from Ice Spice, “Phat Butt”, could swing her fortunes.

Since her fans are going to have wait another month and change for the LP, the 24-year-old has been extremely generous with the snippets. With “Phat Butt” being teased multiple times in the past couple of days, there is a good chance we get another sneak peek at the sonic direction soon. Compared to the aforementioned promotional cuts, “Phat Butt” sees Ice Spice go for a more spacey, warped, and dark sound. It sounds like something Yeat would have put on his last record, 2093.

In terms of the artist performance, the “Munch” MC is bringing a more stripped back and cool cadence. It is a pretty stark change from the shouty deliveries on “(Fart)” and “Gimmie A Light”. The flows and bars are also pretty sticky, “Name got the b**** gaggin’, hit the bench up and tagged in / B****, you lost, throw the flag in, stay on a jet, but ain’t laggin’ (Yup) / Got these b****es copying my pose (My pose) / Got these b****es bitin’ all my flows (Bitin’ all my flows) / Like ballerinas, keep em’ on they toes (On they toes) / And I really write, like f*** a ghost (Ghost, ghost, ghost)“. If this is the type of material fans are getting a lot of on Y2K!, then those monthly listener numbers are going to shoot back up.

What are your thoughts on this new Ice Spice snippet, “Phat Butt”? Do you like Ice Spice going in a darker direction for this upcoming track, why or why not? Could this be one of her best songs to date? Does this get you more excited for her upcoming debut album Y2K!? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments.

Tommy Richman Teases New Song “Devil Is A Lie” And It Slaps

June 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Tommy Richman has been making music for nearly a decade, but 2024 is his year. The singer broke out in a big way with the single “Million Dollar Baby.” Not only was a viral sensation on TikTok, but it crossed over and went number two on the Billboard Hot 100. Richman is now an R&B star. The pressure now, of course, is to prove that he’s not a one hit wonder. We’ve seen lots of “Million Dollar Baby” singers come and go. The next Richman single is going to be crucial, and it sounds like he’s got it under control.

Richman posted a teaser of his upcoming song, “Devil Is a Lie,” on TikTok on June 6. The brief clip sees him not only singing the song, but doing so on what appears to be a set for the music video. He sings in front of a car, and and posts up from a different angle where a camera can be seen moving past him. It’s led fans to believe that “Devil Is a Lie” is not only coming soon, but will have an official video attached as well. The song itself is ridiculously catchy. It captures the same bouncy, hooky energy of Richman’s first big smash, but with a throwback 2000’s feel. Many fans have rightfully pointed out that the singer seems to be channeling vintage Neptunes. The beat definitely sounds like something Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo would have cooked up for Nelly back in the day.

Tommy Richman Has Another Hit In The Works

This makes perfect sense, given Tommy Richman’s affiliation with another R&B star, Brent Fayiaz. He had a standout appearance on the Faiyaz mixtape Larger Than Life, which also revived the 2000s sound they both grew up idolizing. Richman even signed to Faiyaz’s creative agency, ISO Supremacy, furthering their like-mindedness. It’s also worth noting that Richman hails from Virginia, which is where artists like Faiyaz and the Neptunes originated. The singer spoke on the impact of VA’s musical history on his own working process during a 2023 interview with Miami New Times.

“There’s a lot of passion through the scene back home,” Richman explained. “And I feel like it’s because a lot of people don’t get a fair shake. It’s really hard to have your voice heard there. That’s probably why a lot of people from Virginia left, like Pharrell and Timbaland. It’s kind of key for an artist to leave their nest. That way, you can appreciate where you come from.” Richman wants honor the legacy of these artists, and “Devil Is a Lie” suggests he’s doing a great job.

Lil Yachty Teases Snippet Of Unreleased Track, Fans Call Him Out For Copying Multiple Artists’ Styles

May 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Lil Yachty has had quite a few people turn on him it seems. Over the last few weeks, the Georgia rapper, singer, and songwriter has caught some flak over his takes on the Drake and Kendrick Lamar beef. In fact, a fan on X (formerly Twitter) called him for essentially being a fake friend. It got pretty explosive, with Lil Boat telling the fan to “suck a d**k nerd”. Now, on top of dealing with people online calling him a traitor, listeners are not messing with some new material he has coming soon. An Instagram repost from 2Cool2Blog showed off a new snippet from Lil Yachty, but the reception on it has been purely negative.

One user cannot believe that Drake really has him to help write songs. “This guy is supposed to be a ghostwriter ”. “This s***s horrible, fam subtitles should let you know immediately that this ain’t it,” another adds. One hip-hop fan even makes the claim that Yachty has pushed out bad material for a minute now. “It’s impressive how consecutively trash his music has been over the years.”

Lil Yachty Gets Dragged By Fans For Snippet

A lot of commenters were also alluding to the fact that he was biting off other sounds. Some of the most popular ones were LUCKI, Veeze, and Playboi Carti. We can definitely see where the people are coming from. Yachty is rapping with a severely raspy and lowkey cadence, his flows sound sleepy, and he is lyrics are barely discernable because of the mumbly delivery. We do not think he has been dropping bad music for years, but this one is looking like it will not perform well when it drops.

What are your thoughts on this new snippet from Lil Yachty? Do you agree with the fans that this is not going to be good, why or why not? Do you think he has lost his magic touch a bit? 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 Lil Yachty.
