Chance The Rapper Posts New Snippet & Video With Lil Wayne, T-Pain & More

by

With so much hip-hop happening in 2024 so far, it’s ironic how the growth of competition only seems to yield more and more MCs chiming in for a huge year. Among the most anticipated comebacks for the next eight months or so is that of Chance The Rapper, who’s been teasing a lot of new music for his upcoming Star Line Gallery album. Moreover, he just shared a new clip on social media on Sunday (April 21), in which he’s taped in the studio with Lil Wayne, T-Pain, JD, Jazze Pha, Jermaine Dupri, and many others while he sings a tender unreleased track amid a lot of other footage. Overall, the Chicago rapper seems to be gearing up for something truly special soon.

Furthermore, this follows a lot of other short teases on platforms like Instagram and Twitter, one recent example of which actually calls for a revolution as opposed to the typical democratic process. He’s never been shy about his sociopolitical views, but it seems like there’s another kind of fire that’s building within him as opposed to what we’ve seen earlier in his discography. Either way, it looks like Chance The Rapper will still be able to emote in various ways and bring his powerful versatility to the table. No matter what this next era or project shows up as, it’s been long enough since 2019’s The Big Day to where there’s always the element of surprise to consider now.

Chance The Rapper’s Latest Snippet & Short Vlog: Watch

For example, he dedicated his latest song “I Will Be Your” to the Black Star Line Festival that he hosted in Ghana alongside Vic Mensa. The only things to be expected about that song were the beat and performance themselves, but the subject matter ranged all over the place. Also, with that event touching down on a lot of plights and hot topics relating to the Black experience, Star Line Gallery might be a deeper exploration of what Chance The Rapper’s learned over the years. These are all just theories, but we’ll likely see if they manifest soon.

Meanwhile, the “Paranoia” spitter also recently expressed his support for Young Thug during his and YSL’s RICO trial. It’s been a very hard and arduous process that has raised many more eyebrows since the initial arrest almost two years ago. It’s yet another factor that makes us think he’s teaming up with all these artists to make something grand, compelling, and meaningful. For more news and the latest updates on Chance The Rapper, stay posted on HNHH.

ScHoolboy Q Previews Grimy New Song At “Blue Lips” Album Listening Event

by

March 1 can’t come soon enough, because ScHoolboy Q’s new album Blue Lips seems better with every look. Moreover, he recently held an album listening party for the upcoming and highly anticipated project at El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles, California on Sunday (February 25). Specifically, the TDE spitter previewed a particularly grimy, rambunctious, and heavy banger that had the crowd going wild. If this is the kind of quality rapping, impactful production, and charismatically energetic performance that we can expect from this LP, then we’re likely going to get one of the best hip-hop full-lengths of the whole year.

Furthermore, this preview is also particularly exciting because we can only imagine how Hov must’ve reacted to it. After tweeting about his desires to play Blue Lips for Jay-Z ahead of its release, ScHoolboy Q actually linked up with him for a listening session. This was partly due to “hip-hop Twitter” blowing this wish up, and he even thanked a particular account for tagging the Roc Nation legend on the social media platform to make it happen. Just goes to show that in this Internet age, listeners can be the bridge between artists and provoke some amazing things, however casual they may seem.

Back to this snippet, though, it will be interesting to see how this cut meshes with previous Blue Lips singles like “Cooties” and “Love Birds.” Apparently, ScHoolboy Q is going to bring a lot of different aesthetics, moods, appeals, and sounds to this album, and seeing this versatility grow from its already impressive state is a treat. What’s more is that he seems just as excited to put it out as fans are to listen to it. After all, it’s been almost five years of studio album silence, yet the excitement for the next chapter’s never wavered.

Meanwhile, the West Coast native’s upcoming release also got praise from the likes of Vince Staples. How are these snippets and singles shaping up for you?

A decade-plus after making her debut with Pink Friday, Nicki Minaj hasn’t lost that hunger as an MC.

Kid Cudi Speaks On Song That He Scrapped Because Fans Didn’t Like The Snippet At All

by

When you’re an artist as big, creative, and adventurous as Kid Cudi, not all your songs and albums will hit for your entire audience. In fact, he has more than a few in his discography that fans straight up flamed, although some eventually realized their worth that they didn’t understand at the time. Still, sometimes you just swing and miss, but the Cleveland native isn’t ashamed of those misses at all. Moreover, he recently responded to a fan that asked whether people recall when he uploaded a song snippet on TikTok that got so clowned on that he took it down.

“Yes I do!!” Kid Cudi responded to the Twitter user’s question with a laughing emoji. “Im not ashamed of this, I still like the song actually, just wasnt what the people were lookin for. Its all good, when INSANO drops, we’ll see whats what.” Actually, it’s a bit unclear whether the Speedin’ Bullet 2 Heaven artist left the song in the dust or if he just deleted the snippet and still plans to release the song. Either way, it’s a calm, fair, and understanding way of responding to negative fan feedback.

Kid Cudi Reflects On Deleted Song Snippet

After all, this is the kind of positivity and playful attitude that Kid Cudi always embodies.

“I see people dont get my humor and thats ok but dont be an a**hole on here cuz im being myself,” he continued. “I dont care what anyone thinks, ima always be myself. My silly goofy self. And my friends and family love me for it. As u get older life sucks ur soul from u bit by bit and u lose that light u had inside when u were a kid. Ive always fought to preserve this spirit becuz I knew I didnt want to lose it.” On that note, stick around for more news and the latest updates on Kid Cudi.

YK Osiris Shares “Dear Fans” Song Snippet After Sukihana Incident

by

YK Osiris caught himself in a lot of hot water for forcibly kissing Sukihana, and debate ensued as to whether he deserves the onslaught of backlash that came. Since video of the interaction went viral, she said that she accepts his apology as some fans completely cut him off or saw this as the end of the story. However, it seems like the Jacksonville native wants to share a more elaborate testimony when it comes to the hate he received. Moreover, he recently shared a snippet on Instagram of an upcoming new song titled “Dear Fans.” In it, the lyrics reflect feeling lonely, like people are preying on his downfall too much, and that he found himself very caught up emotionally in all that’s happened.

To be fair, these are emotions that he’s often expressed on social media for reactions unrelated to the Sukihana drama. Still, the context of that hangs over this song like a cloud. What’s important in that situation is YK Osiris’ own accountability, not how he may react to fans afterwards. That being said, it’s all about execution, and response to wrongdoing is just as telling as the act itself.

Furthermore, the most recent person to chime in on those conversations around YK Osiris was Fivio Foreign. “Just as a Black man in America and how our Black women are portrayed, you always got to be delicate. So you just got to read the room,” the New York MC told Hollywood Unlocked. “Now, I don’t want to put another Black man down, but I feel for her and I got daughters.”

Meanwhile, Osiris shared another apology to the “Love & Hip Hop: Miami” star recently, and also said that fans “put him in his place.” Unfortunately, this situation also prompted other accusations to come forward, which as of writing this article haven’t prompted legal action. Considering his past controversies of assault, he has many demons to battle. Hopefully he and Sukihana are on the path to healing in their own ways. For more news and the latest updates on YK Osiris, come back to HNHH.

Gunna Says He’ll “Fight It Out” In New Song Snippet As YSL Trial Continues

by

As YSL’s trial looms larger and longer over the Atlanta collective, its most highly publicized plea-taker is continuing his career. A new snippet recently surfaced of an unreleased Gunna song where the rapper talks about “fighting it out.” Moreover, this likely refers to his rocky and uncertain relationship with Young Thug and the rest of his rap crew after accusations of snitching. Furthermore, the snippet appeared on Brittany Reshaun’s Instagram story, model and friend to the 29-year-old. While he’s been lying low since taking plea, fans and detractors alike are wondering what his personal and career future will look like.

“Heard the rumors said I’m packing up and flying out,” he raps on the unreleased track. “We ain’t going nowhere I’m staying here, gone fight it out / I meant like f**k it / Let’s just give these n***as dark clouds / Been gone for months and I just keep seeing these dark clouds.” Of course, these bars could refer to anything in theory, especially considering Wunna’s free-flowing rap style. However, it lines up too perfectly for comfort, and there’s truth even in context alone despite possibly different intentions.

New Gunna Song Snippet Reveals Musings On YSL

As YSL’s RICO case unfolds, rumors swirled of Gunna leaving the camp and signing with a major label. Considering how much longer the trial is expected to last, perhaps it’ll be a long time before fans see how (or if) a reconciliation plays out. Currently, the process of jury selection is in a months-long process, one that is moving as quickly as possible, but still is facing delays and extensions. According to 11Alive.com, the trial itself will expectedly last take nine months, and opening arguments may not begin until the fall. As such, the timeframe in between those dates will likely consist of further jury selection.

Meanwhile, this snippet comes weeks after DJ Akademiks alleged that Gunna wants out of YSL and has a whole album ready to drop. People’s reactions to the news ranged from excited to outraged, mocking to sympathetic, and from appraisals to cancellations. Clearly he still has a strong fanbase that will look past his issues with YSL. Still, many wonder for how long they will stick around, and how he will sidestep these accusations in the industry. Regardless, check back in with HNHH for the latest news and updates on Gunna.
