Yung Miami Promises “Caresha Please” Comeback & Speaks On Her Solo Music

by

Yung Miami has a lot on her plate right now, and she spoke about her next moves with Carl Lamarre of Billboard at the 2024 BET Awards last night (Sunday, June 30). Moreover, they broke the ice by talking about their favorite Usher song and remarking on how she’s sometimes in her R&B bag as an artist. But speaking of that, the former City Girl also had some words about the solo music that she’s working on now that the duo is no more. “Oh, Yung Miami ain’t never left, babe,” she remarked. “But… This new era that I’m stepping into, this new music that I’m working on, it’s gon’ show that growth and that improvement. And it’s gon’ show that that’s why I’m Yung Miami, that’s why I’m Caresha.”

In addition, Yung Miami also promised that her podcast Caresha Please is coming back soon, which should be very exciting for fans to hear. On it, she’s opened up diverse conversations about relationships, the music industry, the entertainment business, and a whole lot more. Caresha has quite the media empire with her brand ventures as well, and seeing them all develop in real time reinforces the others. Hopefully we won’t have to wait too long for this solo music to drop.

In other City Girls news, JT recently suggested a possible explanation as to why she and Yung Miami chose to part ways as a hip-hop duo. “I did not want that to happen…” she told Keke Palmer. “When you get to the point of ego… it gets there. You forget to express yourself in a private setting, or you forget to talk like adults. It happened and it was stupid, and it’s done. It’s over with and now it’s funny to both of us. It’s hilarious to both of us. Now, it’s just a funny thing in time to us.”

Meanwhile, Playboi Carti recently seemed to shoot his shot with Yung Miami. Like most things related to Carti, his post featuring a picture of her didn’t come with much of an explanation or prelude. But it was still curious for fans to witness, so we’ll see if anything comes of that. For now, she remains focused on improving her craft and giving fans the material that they’ve wanted for so long.

OT7 Quanny Tacks On Five New Tracks To “Leaks, Vol. 2”

by

There is another budding star making waves in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania rap scene once again. It seems like every few months there is someone grabbing people’s attention from the historic city. Lately, Armani White has been that guy, getting co-signs from major players like Denzel Curry and Billie Eilish. In fact, he will be a feature on the former’s upcoming mixtape, The King Of The Mischievous South Vol. 2. But it seems the baton is being handed over to OT7 Quanny now, especially with his new EP, Leaks, Vol. 2. This is the latest project from the 27-year-old, and it spans 10 tracks.

However, this is more of an extended version of the first Leaks, as the original set of five is a part of this larger collection. If you want to know what the new entries are, they are tracks 1-5. According to OT7 Quanny, all of these newer songs on Leaks, Vol. 2. are from 2020. Additionally, it seems that they were highly anticipated, as the rapper claims the project is currently top 15 in the world. Quanny expressed his gratitude to his fans while also respectfully putting other rappers on notice. “Some of y’all favorite rappers got real albums out with real real marketing and we streaming more then them no disrespect but don’t act like this normal”. If that is not enough to tap into his music, then we do not know what will.

Summrs Delivers A Multi-faceted Banger “Sneaky Link/Love That 4 Us”

by

Overall, there were not too many new albums and singles dropping this past weekend. Outside of the Metro Boomin and Future project WE STILL DON’T TRUST YOU, mainstream artists remained quiet. It was a slightly more eventful week for lesser-known names, but that does not mean there was not quality to be had. Just take Summrs and his new song “Sneaky link/Love that 4 us.” For those wondering, you can find it on his new album B4DARAVEN.

This is a shorter release with just seven tracks, but fans of his do not need to panic. This will not be his only release of 2024. Word on the street is that this is just a precursor for the much longer TALE OF DA RAVEN, which still does not have a release date yet. For now though, let us discuss “Sneaky link/Love that 4 us.”

As you can see this is a two-part song and it is done pretty well. Summrs’ lyrics are nothing to write home about. But the real winner is the instrumental. The first half feels almost early Lil Uzi Vert-like with its playful and light trap beat. However, it seamlessly transforms into a guitar solo, which then leads into a slightly a funkier portion with trap elements.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new song “Sneaky link/Love that 4 us” by Summrs? Is this the best track from the rapper as of late, why or why not? Where do you rank this amongst the rest of the songs off of B4DARAVEN? 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 Summrs. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on around the music world.

Quotable Lyrics:

You think you a doll
You know when that Taylor Port gon’ make you call
That’s when you’re the most vunerable
It’s your fault
When you’re drunk and miss me, you gon’ call
It don’t matter if I f***ed your friend

Cousin Stizz Is Flying “Solo” On New Single

by

Cousin Stizz is keeping the releases coming this year, following up his last single “Coming For Everything” featuring Tony Shhnow. Moreover, he just released the track “Solo” with an accompanying music video, bringing back some warm and woozy West Coast vibes both in production and flow. Of course, the Massachusetts MC has played with this sound a lot before, but it always takes new listeners aback when they tap into the Boston native and hear something that sounds like it could’ve come out of L.A. Regardless, it’s a vibrant and enjoyable display of Stizz’s measured and syncopated flow, plus his ear for breezy beats that could soundtrack a sunny day.

Furthermore, reverb-heavy and funky guitar strums lead the way, with too many effects on it to even notice it’s a string instrument. In fact, it could be a synth, but when it comes to keys, there are other soft piano leads throughout the track that overtake it melodically. In addition, there’s the trademark bouncy bass hits, a sharp percussion pattern, and a great bed for Cousin Stizz to flex his flow on. While he cycles through a few different schemes, it always keeps its focus on the individual bar rather than stringing them all together perfectly. Overall, it’s a pretty dynamic performance, and that’s exactly what makes it stand out when compared to other instrumentals and songs structures in this vein.

Cousin Stizz’s “Solo” Music Video: Watch

Meanwhile, it seems like the 31-year-old could be gearing up for another full-length project with these recent singles. His last project, Just For You, came out in February of 2022, and had a lot of highlights and career-defining moments. Maybe this next outing will be the same, but if it’s not time yet, at least we have these creative singles to hold us over. If you haven’t heard “Solo” yet, find it on your preferred streaming service and check out standout bars below.

Quotable Lyrics
