Gunna Seemingly Addresses Snitch Allegations In New Snippet

by

Gunna is someone who fans have been waiting to hear from. Of course, a lot of this has to do with the fact that he was able to get out of the YSL Rico case. Overall, there are many people trying to claim that the artist snitched. Moreover, they are alleging that he snitched on Young Thug specifically. However, none of this information has actually been confirmed. Instead, some are just speculating, especially with how beloved Thugger is. Unfortunately, this has led to some unfavorable things said about Wunna.

That said, Gunna has been teasing a return to the music world. There is heavy anticipation for a new album, and we may just get it somewhat soon. Although, nothing has actually been confirmed by the artist and his team. Instead, we have just gotten a few social media posts here and there. Additionally, there have been instances where Gunna has provided us with a snippet or two. Well, last night, we got another one, and this time, it sounds like he may be addressing the controversy around his name.

Gunna Is Set To Return

In the video above, Gunna can be heard rapping over some interesting production. Overall, this does not sound like the type of music that he used to make in the past. However, he does mention the snitching allegations at one point, saying “He forgave me for my sins now they mad that I got out.” At this point, it is kind of unclear as to what is being implied here. Regardless, he is still mentioning the Rico trial, one way or another. We’re sure fans will have a lot to say about all of this.

For now, the YSL Rico trial continues, with Young Thug at the center of it all. Throughout the process, Thugger has remained fairly stoic, although he has had some medical complications. Only time will tell how this trial goes, and whether or not Thug will ever get to make music again. In the meantime, let us know your thoughts on this Gunna snippet, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news from around the music world.

Lil Durk & J. Cole Preview Upcoming Collaboration

by

Lil Durk might have his first #1 record on his hands with his upcoming collaboration with J Cole. The two rappers linked up to film the music video for their upcoming single, which is supposed to land on Durk’s next album. Though a collab between the two artists can really go in any direction, it sounds like they have a hit on their hands. Lil Durk took to Instagram where he shared a snippet of the record from the video shoot. Surrounded by a group of kids, Cole holds the camera as he raps along to his verse.

Cole goes the melodic direction with his verse, clearly following Lil Durk’s lead. “Lately, I just wanna show up and body of shit, yeah, yeah/ Always been a lil’ mathematician, lately it’s cash I’m gettin/ I’m losin’ count of these bags, I been movin’ too fast/ Hard times don’t last, remember when cops harassed,” Cole raps. Durk delivers a monstrous hook that sounds prepared to top the charts. “All my life, they been trying to keep me down/ All my life, they thought I wouldn’t make it out,” Durk sings, backed by a choir of children.

Lil Durk’s Collab With J Cole Is On The Way

The Chicago rapper seems to be preparing the upcoming collab with J. Cole as the first single from his forthcoming album. Although it doesn’t have a date yet, he said that if his Instagram post reaches a certain quota, he’ll share the cover art and its release. “100K comments I’m dropping album cover and date call my bluff s/o Cole,” he wrote. “IM BACK.” At the time of writing, the post has racked up 465,000+ likes and nearly 69K comments. 

Durk announced the collaboration in early April when he was performing at Dreamville Festival. Although he explained that he wanted to perform at the North Carolina festival to get his feet wet in that space, he explained that he and J Cole recorded new music together. He didn’t necessarily provide any other information besides that but evidently, there’s a mutual respect for each other. We’ll keep you posted on a release date. Check out the snippet above. 

The Weeknd Shares Ethereal New Snippet

by

It’s The Weeknd season, apparently, as he shared even more new music with his fans via social media. Moreover, this comes after the Canadian superstar released the single “Double Fantasy” with Future just last Friday (April 21). On this new snippet, Abel Tesfaye seems to play with the ethereal, dramatic, and synth-heavy style of pop and R&B that he became the world’s biggest star through. The autotune sounds a little more prominent on it than usual, which actually makes for a cool effect in the song’s dreamy atmosphere. However, the song might not appear as a solo release, but rather as part of the next Mike Dean album dropping this week, which Abel said he’s co-executive producing.

Still, the tease’s quality should come as no surprise, as he’s arguably at his artistic peak. In fact, that’s a sentiment that The Weeknd seems to agree with. Recently, his interview with Interview Magazine saw him dive deep into his most recent moves. One of those is the upcoming release of his HBO show “The Idol,” the soundtrack for which will feature the aforementioned “Double Fantasy.” During that conversation, the 33-year-old reflected on his provocative nature as an artist. Also, he spoke on his inspirations and how he’s excited to manifest them in musical form.

The Weeknd Is Keeping The Heat Up

“I’ve been inspired by The Wall and Purple Rain and when Bowie was doing it,” The Weeknd revealed. “But even films like Shaft, the music is literally telling the story of the film. But I want to take it to the next level. I want to challenge myself and I feel like, as a musician, I’m the best I’ve ever been. There’s a whole album,” he remarked about “The Idol”‘s soundtrack, letting fans know his TV endeavors won’t cut into his art. “I’m not shying away from making music. It’s just adding another element to my already crowded schedule.”

At another point in the interview, he addressed the controversies that followed him in his career. “I’ve been judged since the beginning,” the “Faith” singer expressed. “My stuff’s always kind of been provocative. As an artist, you have to know that you can’t please everybody. You have to accept that it comes with the job.” Check out the snippet above and return to HNHH for the latest news on The Weeknd.

6ix9ine Promises Latin Album, Unveils New Snippet

by

If you have been paying attention to 6ix9ine as of late, you know that he has completely changed his sound. However, you can’t mention his recent comeback without also talking about what preceded it. The rapper was attacked at an LA Fitness in Florida, which prompted arrests and an investigation. Subsequently, the artist decided to flee to Cuba where he unleashed a new ballad. Following the success of that track, he went to Africa to film the music video for “WAPAE.” This was an immediate smash hit that many are saying could be a Fifa anthem.

With the success of these two songs in mind, it should come as no surprise that 6ix9ine would want to remain in the Latin music lane. Overall, those shouting raps from the “GUMMO” days have become extremely tiresome and repetitive. Additionally, the rapper understands that Latin music is having a huge moment and is a global genre. That said, it should come as no surprise that he is looking to capitalize on this. While some may abhor his foray into this genre, others are absolutely loving it.

6ix9ine Has A New Smash On The Way

In the video clip up above, 6ix9ine showcased his most recent snippet. Of course, this new song has much of the same Latin flavor as his previous two singles. Overall, this track goes heavy on the beat switches. Ultimately, it sounds like something that could be played in various arenas all across the world. Furthermore, 6ix9ine is looking to film the music video for the song. He is asking fans to comment their country, and the country with the most interactions will be the winner. It is a cool idea that will likely lead to an action-packed visual.

At this point, 6ix9ine is not everyone’s cup of tea. It is easy to see why when you consider the controversy surrounding him. Although, at this stage, it is hard to deny what he has going on right now. There seems to be a lot of hype behind his comeback, and it is impossible to ignore right now. Let us know what you think of this new snippet, in the comments below.

Lil Yachty Remixes Young Nudy & 21 Savage’s “EA” In New Snippet

by

Lil Yachty’s finally receiving his proper credit. A pioneering figure in the Soundcloud rap movement, he’s undoubtedly pushed the boundaries of hip-hop and influenced a generation of rappers who’ve followed him. However, in recent times, he’s also earned much more praise for his musical outings. 2022’s “Poland” became a viral hit that landed on many year-end song lists. But, it was his foray into psychedelic rock with Let’s Start Here that felt like a true testament to his range as an artist.

Some fans felt as though Let’s Start Here was Yachty’s attempt to abandon his rap beginnings. However, that clearly isn’t the case. He returned earlier this year with “Strike (Holster),” which bred some serious anticipation surrounding Yachty’s next project. Yachty leans into the vibrato delivery even further, just as he did on “Poland,” for a smooth, melodious banger. Still, it seems like “Strike (Holster)” is really just getting things in motion for a new era in Yachty’s career.

Lil Yachty Previews New Music

This week, Lil Yachty joined Kai Cenat on his recent livestream. Though the two delved into plenty of topics, including Cenat’s custom AF1s gifted by Twitch, the Atlanta rapper also previewed some new music. The rapper actually debuted a remix of Young Nudy and 21 Savage’s “EA,” which includes drill drums rather than Pi’erre Bourne’s signature trap percussion. It’s unclear where it’ll land but hopefully, it sees a release date in the near future.

Besides the recent remix, Lil Yachty’s been riding high in the last few months. He recently served as the musical guest on Saturday Night Live where he performed “The Black Seminole” and “Drive Me Crazy!” Prior to that, he revealed that he wanted to lock in for a joint album with Tyler, The Creator, who he said inspired him to explore the psychedelic rock sounds on his latest album Let’s Start Here. Overall, it looks like we’ll be getting a lot more music from Lil Yachty this year. Perhaps, he’ll announce an album sometime in the near future. Check out the snippet above and let us know your thoughts in the comment section below. 

Latto Fuels 21 Savage Dating Rumors On New Snippet: Listen

by

Latto and 21 Savage appear to have a relationship that’s deeper than music yet the two continuously deny there’s anything romantic between them. However, both Latto and the Savage Mode left a trail of evidence that suggests otherwise. The “Big Energy” star confirmed that she’s in a relationship but denied that the Her Loss rapper is the mystery man. At the same time, 21 Savage also pushed back against claims that he has a “celebrity girlfriend” like Latto. “I’ve been hot for a long time,” he said during a Clubhouse conversation. “I don’t do all the antics and shit. I don’t got a celebrity girlfriend.”

Perhaps, they’re trying to avoid the fanfare of becoming a power couple by coming out to the public. After all, there’s plenty of pressure that comes with the turf. Still, Latto revealed in February a new tattoo that appears to be of 21 Savage’s government name, Shéyaa. As you could expect, Internet sleuths put two-and-two together while Latto continued to deny their relationship publicly. Last month, Latto doubled down that she was not dating 21 Savage. 

Latto’s Addresses 21 Savage Tattoo In New Snippet

With a new album seemingly on the way, Latto shared a new snippet to her Instagram page. However, one lyric, in particular, stood out. “If he put you in that Lamb, then you would get the tattoo,” Latto raps, which led many to conclude that she was talking about 21 Savage. Though she didn’t address the rumors directly on Twitter as she’s been doing over the past few months, plenty of folks felt as though it was confirmation of their romance

Though it’s unclear when the single might see the light of day, Latto’s currently gearing up to launch her Apple Music show, 777 Radio. She announced the program earlier this week, which we could imagine will be an outlet where she could address rumors and debut new music. Perhaps, we’ll hear the song in its entirety later this week. For now, it seems like 21 Savage and Latto are fine with people carrying on with their own narrative.  Check out her latest snippet above and sound off with your thoughts in the comments below. 

City Girls Prepare To Dominate Another Summer In New Song Snippet: Listen

by

The return of the City Girls is imminent and their new snippet indicates that they’ll have the summer in a chokehold, once again. The Miami-based duo returned to the fold on Saturday with a preview of new music that will serve as an anthem for the coming months. Their Instagram page shared an official snippet of the song, which is rumored to be titled, “Lay It Down.” JT and Yung Miami initially previewed the record nearly a year ago. 

With an official snippet, they could be ramping up for a brand new album in the near future. In the three years window since releasing City On Lock, the “Act Up” rappers shared a handful of singles, and several previews of new City Girls music, without a concrete timeline of when we could expect a new project after pushing it back. As a July 2022 release date approached – the same day as Beyoncé’s Renaissance – Yung Miami said they needed to delay its release, citing “issues.” Some felt as though it was because City Girls didn’t want to compete with Bey, which JT denied, tweeting, “​​Our album NOT finished!!!! TF.”

The City Girls Rev Up For Summer 2023 On New Snippet

Prior to releasing a new snippet of music, City Girls indicated that they’ll be coming through with new heat for the summer. Just before the Caresha, Please host’s acting debut on BMF, JT, and Yung Miami returned to the stage for Rolling Loud California with new music to perform. Many became excited over the possibilities of a City Girls summer, especially after taking some time apart. The release of the new City Girls snippet also aligns with Yung Miami’s February announcement that we could expect a new project in “Spring, Summer.”

Their return to the fold should debunk any speculation that JT and Yung Miami will be splitting up. Though JT confirmed that she doesn’t see her beefing with Yung Miami, she explained that she hopes they can continue to have a prosperous career together as the City Girls. However, JT confirmed that there isn’t any possibility of that happening during an interview with Angie Martinez. “I do not see beefin’ and breaking up with the City Girls at all. Ever! That’s just stupid. I hope we don’t get too busy,” she said. Check out the new City Girls snippet above and sound off with your thoughts in the comments. 

Kali Uchis Previews Summer Walker Feature On “Deserve Me”

by

The promotion for Kali Uchis’ album release has her fandom in a frenzy. Over the weekend, the vocalist shared her latest single “Moonlight,” which will be on Red Moon in Venus. The album isn’t too feature-heavy, with only three artists appearing on the 15-track project. Her boyfriend, Love Sick crooner Don Toliver, is listed as one, as well as Omar Apollo and Summer Walker. Now, a snippet of her Summer collab is officially here, and it’s shaping out to be her next big hit.

Kali took to TikTok yesterday to show off Summer Walker’s celestial vocals. On “Deserve Me,” the Atlanta songstress stays true to form as she tells a man off for not knowing how to act. “I don’t deserve the s**t you put me through / Like you don’t know that you’re lucky / Make a cute n***a feel ugly / Like I got time for callin’ you,” she sings. In the original posting, Kali Uchis says Walker’s verse is her favorite on the song. She then proceeded to delete the video and repost the track in a new one, telling fans “I like this video better” as she shows off her figure in all-black.

Kali Uchis Shares Snippet of Summer Walker Single

@kaliuchis

me x summer Walker this Friday I like this video better 💋💋💋💋💋

♬ Deserve Me – Kali Uchis & Summer Walker

Immediately after posting, fans went off in the comments. “MOTHER IS MOTHERING,” writes one, with another calling “Deserve Me” “The collab of my dreams.” The visual follows Kali’s appearance on Don Toliver’s 90s-inspired “4 Me” single. On it, the lovers sample Beenie Man and Mya’s ever-popular “Girls Dem Sugar,” coupled with hitmaker Wheezy on production. Kali Uchis has also been featured on Life of a Don’s second single, “Drugs N Hella Melodies.” The two lovebirds tap each other together again for Uchis’ “Fantasy,” which can be heard on Red Moon In Venus.

Last month, Kali Uchis announced the forthcoming project after dropping “I Wish You Roses,” her first offering of the year. The singer says the ethereal track “is about being able to release people with love.” “It could be a friend, a lover, or someone else,” she continues, “but the point is to celebrate releasing people from your life without being resentful or bitter.” Stay tuned for more from Kali upon her third studio release, out this Friday (March 3).

Latto Goes Full Pop In New Song Preview

by

Latto isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. The ATL rapper propelled to the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 with “Big Energy.” It gained further steam when Mariah Carey hopped on the remix. However, it seems like she’s aiming for a #1 hit next.

The rapper took to Instagram this week where she shared a snippet of new music. Latto, along with two friends, throw dollar bills in the studio while the disco-pop single blared through the speakers. Throughout the video, Latto’s filming with a camcorder, which will likely land in the official music video for the song. “Pop Latto loading…,” she captioned the post.

A lot of her fans praised the direction she went in during the snippet. Others felt as if it was an unoriginal attempt at a radio record. Some people compared the single to Doja Cat’s “Say So” and Saweetie’s “Closer” ft. H.E.R.

Latto’s unveiled a few singles in recent times but none of them are particularly indicative of how her next project will sound. In early December, she linked up with GloRilla and the late Gangsta Boo for “FTCU,” a muddy Memphis banger that samples Three 6 Mafia. Then, she closed out the year with “Another Nasty Song.” Just last week, she released a new freestyle over SZA’s “Smoking On My Ex Pack.”

Besides revving up for a new single, Latto made headlines this week after selling a pair of her panties online. eBay later removed the listing because it violated their health and hygiene policies.

She hasn’t set a release date for her new single but it seems like it could arrive sometime this week. Check the snippet below. 

Lil Wayne Snippet Teased On Juelz Santana’s Instagram

by

Juelz Santana just shared a snippet of a new Lil Wayne song on his Instagram. Moreover, he teased a new album on the way, expected to be a Gangsta Grillz tape titled We In Motion set for later this year. In this new snippet, Weezy starts his verse over some menacing bell hits and what sound like string swells. Whatever Santana’s cooking up, it seems the New Orleans veteran will deliver some heat.

“Ayo, the cocaine whiter, the rope chain brighter,” Wayne raps on his part. However, the clip abruptly ends before we can hear more. There’s a spoken word bit right before, or at least that’s what’s noticeable from the snippet. Also, Santana dons a face mask as he sits in front of the mixed song on a computer. Amid empty Pepsi cans and a half-smoked blunt, it looked like he was in the studio for a while.

Moreover, Santana teased fans with what he’s been cooking with another notable spitter, Joyner Lucas. As he gears up for an anticipated drop, some other developments in his life unfortunately came about. Reality star Kimbella announced her split from the rapper back in December of last year.

While they didn’t reveal much about the breakup, a video that Kimbella shared might contain some hidden answers.

“Arguing 24/7 because his feelings were all that mattered,” she captioned the video. “Begging him to change so we could make it work. Feeling numb because he made you feel like the problem. Watching him mess up again when he promised he’d change. Feeling alone after he lied the whole relationship. Knowing it’s time to give up even though you love him. Figuring out how you’re going to fix yourself after he dragged you down.”

Meanwhile, dropping new music isn’t all that Tunechi is likely worried about. The “A Milli” MC recently lost a $20 million legal battle with his former manager for unfulfilled payments. Still, as one of the most talked-about legends in hip-hop, a brighter news story is probably just around the corner.

Regardless, what do you think of the Lil Wayne snippet shared to Juelz Santana’s Instagram? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments down below. Also, as always, come back to HNHH for more sneak peeks from your favorite rapper’s next release.
