RiTchie Delivers His Abstract Debut “Triple Digits [112]”

by

With the unfortunate passing of Injury Reserve talent Stepa J. Groggs back in 2020, the alternative trio was sadly split up. After some assuredly hard thinking and tough conversations, rapper RiTchie and producer Parker Corey decided to close that chapter of their musical careers in solidarity. That happened back in July of 2023 and the now duo is referred to as By Storm. With this new regime in place, it means new music. RiTchie has been hard at work with that task since last summer, and now we have his debut album Triple Digits [112].

RiTchie gave us our first of the release back in February with “RiTchie Valens.” Then, just about two weeks later, he would collaborate with the equally fun Amine for “Dizzy.” Finally, he would deliver one last look into in the album with the hallucinating and abstract track “Looping.” The latter adjective is exactly how we would describe this entire listening experience.

Listen To Triple Digits [112] By RiTchie

But it is very on brand with RiTchie and everything By Storm is about. That is unorthodox ideas, flows, beats, and all of the above. With all of these different soundscapes you would think a lot of hands would be all over this project. However, the opposite is true, as Triple Digits has a total of nine producers, including RiTchie and Parker, as well as just 10 writers. It might sound all over the place on the surface, but the album comes together seamlessly.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new album, Triple Digits [112], by RiTchie? What songs are you gravitating toward right now? Who had the strongest guest appearance on the record and why? Do you see him having a successful solo career after this? What is the best song on here? 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 RiTchie and By Storm. Finally, stay with us for the most informative project posts throughout the week.

Young Scooter Is Trying To Show Us Why He’s “Trap’s Last Hope” On New Album

by

South Carolina rapper Young Scooter is trap rapper to the core. A 12-year veteran in the game, the “Jugg King” creator is all about delivering street anthems with beats that slap. He may not be a well-known name to most people, but if you are looking for rock solid heaters, then he is your guy. We got a dosage of his trademark style on 2023’s Streetz Krazy with features from Future, EST Gee, Money Man, and more. Today, Young Scooter is back quickly to get active in 2024 with Trap’s Last Hope.

This is now his 14th project overall and he is bringing some secret guests on to accompany him. For example, Future gets an uncredited appearance on the opening cut “Grind Don’t Stop.” It is a great way to kick off the record, as Scooter is sounding hungry and not letting up on working hard. The woodwind sample woven into the beat is a nice touch that gives it a grand feeling.

The fire beats continue on the very next track “No More Going Broke.” Zaytoven is back behind the keyboards and seeing the Zaystreet collaborators back together is always welcome. It is not an overly bassy instrumental but the simplicity really works. Furthermore, “For My Hustlers” is another standout, with its ghoulish synths. All in all, its another solid outing from Young Scooter, so be sure to check it out.

Kanye West Shuts Down Solo Album Rumors After Erick Sermon Teases “Y3”

by

Earlier this month, Erick Sermon chatted with HipHopDX about a new solo project Kanye West has on the way. According to Ye, however, it’s nothing but “fake news.” At the time, Sermon claimed that he had worked alongside the Chicago MC in Florence, Italy in 2023, on material that wasn’t for his joint project with Ty Dolla Sign, Vultures. He even shared details of the rumored release, stating that fans would see a return of the “old Ye.”

“The record I was working on wasn’t what him and Ty Dolla Sign was doing at the time,” he explained. “I was working on Y3, Ye’s solo album […] Hopefully, we can finish what we started, y’know, ’cause I had him on Hip Hop. I was like, ‘You got to rhyme and we have to do the stuff that you used to do ’cause you ill at that,’ y’know? And he listened […] I had [the old Kanye] back.” Now, Ye has responded to a fan account asking about the project, making it clear that it doesn’t actually exist.

Ye Calls Erick Sermon’s Y3 Comments “Fake News”

“This is fake news. Ain’t no album called Y3. And ain’t nobody tryna be the ‘old Ye.’ When I made 808s [& Heartbreak] n***as was running round talking bought they miss the old Ye,” he wrote. “We just made King / Back 2 Me / Carnival/Talking just to name a few. We got the number 1 song in the world and number 1 album in the world with top level beats top level bars top level hooks top level features,” Ye added, “I’m the greatest artist in any genre ever. And I’m just getting started.”

What do you think of Ye denying Erick Sermon’s claims that he has a solo project called Y3 in the works? What about him saying he won’t revisit the “old” Ye? Are you disappointed? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Erick Sermon Says Kanye West’s Next Solo Album Will Be A Return To The Old Ye

by

Erick Sermon says that he worked with Kanye West on new music in Florence, Italy, last year, and the songs the rapper was putting together sounded like the old Kanye. Reflecting on the experience during an interview with HipHopDX, Sermon explained that the tracks were separate from Ye’s work with Ty Dolla Sign on Vultures and instead, for an upcoming solo effort.

“The record I was working on wasn’t what him and Ty Dolla Sign was doing at the time,” Sermon recalled. “I was working on Y3, Ye’s solo album […] Hopefully, we can finish what we started, y’know, ’cause I had him on Hip Hop. I was like, ‘You got to rhyme and we have to do the stuff that you used to do ’cause you ill at that,’ y’know? And he listened […] I had [the old Kanye] back.”

Kanye hasn’t provided details on his next solo release, but he intends to drop two more projects with Ty Dolla Sign to round out the Vultures trilogy. He shared the first installment independently on February 10. It features collaborations with Freddie Gibbs, YG, Quavo, Playboi Carti, Travis Scott, his own daughter, North, and several more artists. It debuted at No. 1 on the US Billboard 200, marking the rapper’s 11th consecutive album to do so. West has said he intends to drop the second and third installments of the trilogy on March 8 and April 5. Check out Sermon’s interview with HipHopDX below.

Money Man Drops A Series Of Bass-Heavy Trap Heaters On “Purple Heart”

by

Money Man loves to provide his fans with new music whenever he can. Which is why the veteran Georgia trap rapper has put out over 20 projects in his career. For that reason, it is no surprise that Money Man is back already to deliver Purple Heart. We got the chance to speak with the 37-year-old back on the release date of his 2023 project CROPTOBER. Money Man revealed the reason why he likes to release new material at a faster rate than most rappers. “The music game is so slow. Behind the scenes is so slow with them, handling producers and getting the paperwork together and clearances…”

He continues, “I don’t have time for that. That’s why my fan base loves me because I’m always keeping them with new music.” Well, he is back to do just that in the early stages of 2024. Purple Heart was actually teased in the latter half of 2023.

Listen To Purple Heart By Money Man

We covered a single Money Man called “Fear No Man.” In the live performance music video he made, that is when he announced the LP. On Purple Heart you will find a tight tracklist of just 13 songs and one feature. Moneybagg Yo is that lone ranger on the fifth track “Turnt.” That song title is definitely what this album is set out to do. Be sure to stream the project above.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new album, Purple Heart, by Money Man? Is this his best album of all time, why or why not? What songs are you gravitating toward the most to right now?

Scrim Crawls Into Dark Cave On New Album “Lonely Boy”

by

Rap duos and groups launching solo careers is nothing new in the hip-hop world. Migos is not as strong a presence as it once was for various reasons. Their last album as group was back in 2021 with Culture III. OutKast did the same thing too. Andre 3000 recently made a massive reappearance with his experimental album New Blue Sun. $uicideboy$ is another duo to add in the mix as well.

As of 2020, Scrim ($crim) has been putting out his solo material. He put out his debut called A Man Rose from the Dead, a 20-song lone wolf effort. However, it would not be until 2024 that we would see new material from just Scrim. He put out a single called “paradise.”

Mario Judah Gets Violent Beyond Belief On Debut LP “Endure”

by

You would be surprised at how many artists there are in hip-hop that combine rock music and or heavy metal with rapping. Most of them dwell in the undergrounds of hip-hop. A reason for that is that a lot of the time, the sounds clash too much and it can be overpowering on the ears. But, one rapper who is sticking true to his guns is Mario Judah.

The Flint, Michigan native shares similarities with artists like ZillaKami and SosMula. They are better known as City Morgue and they have been working on that sound for a few years now. Mario Judah has been in the game slightly less than those two. However, they are his closest comparison.

Listen To Endure By Mario Judah

Judah got his start in 2020 and since then he has been honing his sound to eventually drop his debut. Endure is the name of it and it is a seven-song solo effort with explosive instrumentals. You think for a first-ever project there would be some singles. That is far from the case here. The intro track “Kill All The Enemies” will hit you like a ton of bricks, especially if you are going into his style blind. Will it is a niche sound, still give it a try if you are looking for something outside of your comfort zone.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new album, Endure, by Mario Judah? Is this his best project to date so far, why or why not? Is he the best rapper that blurs the lines between rock and hip-hop? Which songs are you gravitating toward the most right now and why? Who would sound good on this project and why? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this.

JT Vows To Make Good Songs Not Just Good Verses in 2024

by

The new year is a time for many to make resolutions about the following 12 months. Though many don’t end up sticking to it for the full calendar year it’s still a fun bit of self-reflection. One person who shared their approach to the new year was City Girls rapper JT. She took to Twitter to share some musical plans she has going forward. “Sideways is a song not a verse & in 2024 I want to go from ‘JT has good verses!’ to ‘JT make good songs !!’” she said in a tweet posted earlier today.

In the comments fans seem mostly supportive of her, so long as she actually drops new music. “well babe you gotta actually drop the songs,” one of the top replies suggests. “well drop the song jatavia!” another reply agrees. The comment falls in line with another suggestion that JT made earlier this year following the release of the most recent City Girls album. She said that her next venture will be a solo effort, which would mean a lot more songs she’s handling entirely by herself. Details on when a potential solo album might emerge haven’t been released yet but she seems intent on making it this year. Check out her tweet and the replies to it below.

JT Wants To Carry More Of Her Own Songs

Back in October, City Girls released their new album RAW. Despite featuring some songs that connected with fans like “Good Love” with Usher and JT’s own “No Bars” the album underperformed commercially. Some fans suggested that part of the underwhelming sales was her City Girl contemporary Yung Miami. When they suggested that JT take the Offset route and go solo she stood up for Miami. Despite that, she clearly still seems interested in recording some more solo music soon.

What do you think of JT wanting to make more good songs and not just good verses? Would you listen to an entire solo album from the City Girls rapper? Let us know in the comment section below.
