It feels like we’ve gone a few months since Alkaline blessed fans with some new music. The dancehall star did bless us before the summer came with the release of his latest project, Top Prize. The project has continued to bubble through the dancehall scene, blessing us with several records that have stayed on rotation like “Hostage” and “Ah.” 

The artist returned this week with some brand new heat with the release of his latest single, “Sell Off.” The slow-burning record finds Alkaline popping his sh*t in a manner that fans have found similar to Skillibeng. A few fans have suspected that Alkaline is mocking the “Crocodile Teeth” artist, though Alkaline hasn’t confirmed or denied that to be true.

Nonethless, the latest from Alkaline is a refreshing new single that brings glossy trap sounds to the world of dancehall effortlessly.

Quotable Lyrics
Seen, check out my swag, yuh know when yah win
Anything me touch, any style weh man bring dat sell off
Seen, curry and kitchen and chicken and wing
Airport stick ah bank robber choplin dat sell off

The SOB x RBE crew has disbanded but they continue to deliver some of the most exciting music out of the West Coast as solo artists. DaBoii, specifically, has been dumping out some solid projects within the past year. Still, there’s a heavy stream of loose records that have been emerging out of his vault including this week’s “Punishment.” The rapper connects with Cash Kidd for his new record where they lace up the haunting production with cleverly put-together bars with a vicious punch. “Ain’t gon’ lie, you gon’ catch ’em bullets, too, I catch you runnin’ with ’em/ I just put my opp in a scope, I got a tunnel vision,” DaBoii raps on the record. Cash Kidd’s conversational flow adds a calming effect to the intensity of DaBoii, bouncing between hilarious sexually-charged bars and menacing threats.

Check out the latest record below.

Quotable Lyrics
Spinned the block, if n***as ain’t get hit, then duck again
I can’t flirt, it’s either “can I get some head?” or “fuck you then”
N***as talkin’ juugs to get ahead, won’t plug you in
Shots fired, n***as dive onto the ground like they fumblin’ 

It seems that Lil Uzi Vert’s vault continues to get hacked. Whether he shares a new snippet of music or not, loose singles and collaborations that he’s done over the years manage to make their way onto the Internet without an official release date ever set. Last year, Guap Tarantino previewed a new song with Lil Uzi Vert and fans have been longing for its release.

Guap saved the single for his new project Quarantino 2 — a new compilation project highlighting the raw talent of the YFBG camp. “Of Course” finds Guap and Lil Uzi Vert swapping verses over muddy production, detailing their adoration for fast cars, women, and money. 

Quarantino 2 includes appearances from AP The Psyko, 311Taker, King Kobi, Dino YFBG, and more. 

Check out “Of Course” below.

Quotable Lyrics
Dra-co, huh, came with a sword
All my opps stay in the morgue
I don’t even play with these n***as no more
And my neck is still wet as the shore

Earlier this year, when Duke Deuce sat down with HotNewHipHop to talk about everything from his first bars to his first show to his zodiac sign for our Rise & Grind series, he left us with a stern message. 

“I’m on they a**. Foot on their neck. Pedal to the metal, I’m on they a**, I’m not stopping. I was already working on new music … I got my own marijuana strain about to hit the streets. I’m on they a**. I’m not playing. Let’s get it.”

The “New Purveyor of Crunk Music” told us in March that he was hammer down and he meant it. And after getting shot at while on Instagram Live less than a week ago, the “WTF!” rapper is already back with this “Every Chance I Get” freestyle, an installation in Revolt‘s #OFFTOP series. 

Rapping over DJ Khaled’s “Every Chance I Get” beat which originally featured The Voice of the Heroes collaborators Lil Baby and Lil Durk, Duke Deuce delivered just over a minute of hard raps while wearing a Purple Rain tee and a black bandana around his head. With some dark lighting and aggressive ad-libs to go along with it, the Memphis rapper did exactly what he was supposed to and gave us a freestyle we’ll be running back with regularity. 

Quotable Lyrics

Watchin’ these rap n**** videos and they startin’ to look like us
If they hatin’ just off fame imagine when you get the bucks
I’m a M-E-M-P-H-I-S n**** ’til I D-I-E

Check out our full Rise & Grind interview with Duke Deuce here and stream “Every Chance I Get” Freestyle below. 

The explosive allegations against T.I. and his wife Tiny rattled the hip-hop community at large. Multiple women came forward with allegations of sexual assault but last week, they received the news that they would not be facing any charges in relation to a 2005 sexual assault case filed against them. The couple was accused of drugging and sexually assaulting multiple women. However, the prosecutors concluded, “the case is declined due to expiration the Statute of Limitations.”

Over the weekend, the rapper hinted that he and his wife would offer a statement after the L.A. Cou The synth-laden production serves as the upbeat backdrop that T.I. uses to double down on his and his wife’s innocence. It sounds like a 2009 loose track that was refurbished with modern 808s, and Lil Jon’s assistance on the ad-libs accentuates the throwback feel a bit more. 

The rapper hinted that an official response over the weekend after his attorney commented on the District Attorney’s Office decision.  ““Mr. and Mrs. Harris are pleased, but not surprised, by the District Attorney’s decision to dismiss these meritless allegations.  We appreciate the DA’s careful review of the case and are grateful to be able to put the matter behind us and move on,” Shawn Holley said. 

Quotable Lyrics
Since high school, been doing my thing 
Stay strapped, strike like lightning
That’s why your opinion more like no opinion
Never gave a fuck about a hoe opinion 
Somethin’ told me not to go up in ya
Probably parallel park a Porsche in ya
Tall money but I’m short-tempered
If you broke, weak, I don’t fuck with ya

Cuffing season is officially approaching. The fall is just days away and it’s a better time than any for the love songs to be coming out. Of course, our weekly R&B Season playlist will offer you all of those types of vibes if they’re lacking from your life. Anyways, it’s that time of the year where those smooth melodies and warm production styles hit different.

This week, rising star Grind2Hard O’Sha delivered a fitting vibe for the occasion with his latest single, “More Than A Friend.” The rapper tackles upbeat production with tinges of dancehall as he professes his love to a lucky lady. “Streets don’t love you like I do,” he sings on the hook.

Check out the latest from Grind2Hard O’Sha below.

Quotable Lyrics
Streets don’t like you like I do 
I’m gon be right here with you
I’m gon’ spend my life with you 

Drill continues to be dominating the globe, from Ghana to New York City. But, it’s still the language of Chicago in every way. We’ve seen a new generation of drill rappers from the Chi emerge. Of course, the late King Von was on pace to be leading the way for them. However, Lil Moe 6Blocka has been putting in serious work this year and he continues to keep it pushing with every single release.

This week, the rapper slid through with his latest drop, “8Block.” Backed by eerie, sinister drill production, the rapper makes it clear that he is not the one to be played with. “N***as be hidin’, they don’t want know smoke with us,” he raps on the record.

Check the latest out from Lil Moe 6Blocka below.

Quotable Lyrics
I got some shit that’s hot as an oven
He trying to run, and I run up in trunks
I don’t like n***as who think they tough
If you ain’t Scrap Gang, fuck where you from 

Atlanta rapper Loui has been slowly buzzing this year. Singles like “Shake That” gained an organic momentum that’s made his infectious sound spread across America. However, it’s the recent string of releases that followed projects like Wass Goin and Sincere that has fans absolutely ecstatic for what he has in store. Just a few months back, he appeared on Saweetie’s surprise project, Pretty Summer Playlist: Season 1 on the song, “Talkin’ ‘Bout.”

This week, the rapper returned with a brand new single titled, “Don’t Play” ft. Shordie Shordie. July Da Producer handles the smooth production while Shordie Shordie and Loui go through the motions of wanting their old thing back.

Earlier this year, Shordie Shordie teamed up with Murda Beatz for their joint project, Memory Lane. 

Quotable Lyrics
Pull out my phone, go viral
I drive it, I get admires
Said what I said, I’m into you
You into fuckin’ with liars
