Juice Wrld Wrestles With Addiction & Anxiety On “Party By Myself”

November 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

There’s some belief/hope that The Party Never Ends by Juice WRLD will not be the final album. However, his estate continues to affirm that it will be. With that said, this title may be a reflection that even though this could be the last hurrah, the rapper’s current discography and legacy will never end. But in that same breath, the reason we mentioned that there’s hope that more music is coming is because of the fanbase’s view on the tape. Some have been highly critical of its quality, with folks in this camp being of the mindset that this is not how Juice would have made this album.

Additionally, DJ Scheme shared similar feelings, especially in relation to multi-genre hitmaking producer benny blanco’s inclusion. He felt the promotion and overall execution were off. But still, there are some redeemable traits to the project. “Party By Myself” feels like early classic Juice with the sad guitar loops, slow tempo, all while he sounds distraught and lost. It checks all the boxes for fans of his who enjoyed his openness to talk about his own personal issues like addiction, loneliness, and anxiety. “Party By Myself” also hits due to its earworm melody and chorus. Overall, the plan to release The Party Never Ends is up for debate. But there are some replayable tracks, with “Party By Myself” being one.

“Party By Myself” – Juice Wrld

Quotable Lyrics:

I’m leanin’ like I’m using a needle
Probably party by myself because I don’t fuck with people
Marijuana with the pills, euphoric and cerebral
I do it all to chase the thrill (Thrill)
I know what I’m doing’s illegal
But ain’t nothin’ else gon’ numb my pain like the pills and the reefer

Russ Gets Nostalgic And Thankful On Soulful “SSX Tricky”

November 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Russ has been a fixture in the hip-hop scene since the early 2010s. Since debuting with his album Velvet in 2011, he has released fifteen more projects, his most recent being SANTIAGO last August. Though his time in the mainstream was short, Russ has built an unwavering fanbase through the years. One so consistent that he can tour regularly and put out new music multiple times a year. “SSX Tricky” is his latest track, taking its name from the PS2/Xbox video game. The accompanying video shows Russ playing the iconic game on the couch in what is meant to be a basement while he raps the lyrics.

The track feels nostalgic, with a beat (produced by DVNT) that features a prominent slowed-down soul sample. On the hook, Russ talks about being a 90s baby, giving a shoutout to Trish Stratus, who he cites as his first crush. From there, he talks about his childhood, before pivoting into more modern subjects. He also throws in a Demon Slayer reference for good measure. The second verse is Russ reflecting on his career and some of his biggest accomplishments so far, like performing at Barclays Center. He does some flexing, and ensures he’s going to “talk game until he’s old, Hubie Brown” (the legendary 91-year-old Hall of Fame basketball coach and broadcaster who recently announced plans to retire from ESPN at the end of this NBA season). Overall, the track is a solid thank you to his fans and a reiteration that Russ doesn’t plan on slowing down anytime soon. Check out “SSX Tricky” below.

Russ – “SSX Tricky”

Quotable Lyrics:

Gettin’ mat burned from wrestling with my fears (Yeah)
Saw this all comin’ back when Mom shopped at Sears (I saw it)
Lapped a lot of peers, yeah, I’m showboatin’ (I am)
It’s been a fight though, let me talk to you like Joе Rogan (Yeah)
This Diesel bеlt is holdin’ up these Jacquemus shorts
She say, “Okay, see you in five”, but I’m not Lu Dort
Take the boat from Grand Tremezzo to Belaggio
And order the caprese and carpaccio
I been fighting demons like I’m Tanjiro (Yeah)

Kodak Black Wants To “Burn It Up” On Latest Album Cut

November 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kodak Black’s latest mixtape Trill Bill was released on Friday. The tape is typical Kodak Black, with themes of money, drugs, sex, and violence. But, it is over surprisingly calm, almost cloudy, mid-tempo production. One example of this is “Burn It Up,” one of the better tracks from Kodak’s new tape. The beat, produced by Ryan Prieur, is understated. It sounds like something that would be at home on a Cash Cobain project. In that regard, it does not sound like something that Kodak Black would normally do. But lyrically, it is another straightforward effort for the controversial Florida rapper. His trademark flexing and street raps are once again joined together on another track.

Kodak Black sounds energized (as energized as he can be, at least) on the track, with the hook’s repetition of “turn it up” and “burn a n***a up” being quite catchy. The verse is witty, with “all black can’t see nothing, so they say it was Darth Vader” being a standout line. At barely two and a half minutes, the track does not overstay its welcome, and it’s a solid performance from Kodak. Of course, Kodak Black is a prolific artist, so not everything he releases in a given year sticks, but this could be a track that does. Check out “Burn It Up” below and give Trill Bill a shot if you have positive thoughts on what you heard here.

Quotable Lyrics:

Jump out if he run
I won’t chase him got lasers
All black can’t see nothing so they say it was Darth Vader
That lil b***h crazy if she think I’m finna pay her
Way before lil baby I told Jayda to wait up
Running through that money splurging, don’t see no purpose to save up

Juice WRLD & Offset “Celebrate” On New Posthumous Track

November 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Juice WRLD’s estate released The Party Never Ends, his third posthumous album, on Friday. The album features contributions from Nicki Minaj, Eminem, and others. One of those “others” is Offset, who appears on the track “Celebrate.” “Celebrate” is produced by Metro Boomin, and was previously unheard until a leak in December 2023. Metro previously had production credits on Fighting Demons, the second posthumous release by his estate. The track is a low-key banger, and feels like something that Juice would have released if he was still alive, though it is still clear that the track was not finished in his lifetime.

The beat is menacing, and both Juice WRLD and Offset deliver strong verse. They give some gun bars, with the two of them threatening to “put some money in the street” (putting a bounty on someone, for the uninitiated). Offset’s verse is twice as long as Juice’s, likely to balance out the fact that the unfinished nature of the song. His verse feels like something he would’ve done for a Migos album, delivering some high-quality street bars. He’s at home over Metro Boomin production, and it’s very clear. Juice WRLD’s estate previously claimed that The Party Never Ends is the last posthumous album from the rapper, who died on December 8, 2019, just six days after his 21st birthday. However, with over a thousand unreleased tracks to his name, it is hard to say if that is truly the case yet. Regardless, give “Celebrate” a listen.

Juice WRLD & Offset – “Celebrate”

Quotable Lyrics:

Thinking back to the good old days, nowadays I’m over-stressed
When I say good old days, I’m talkin’ bout He-Man, no lil’ ThunderCats, huh
Well, I’ve been down, the devil been on the prowl
He loves when I frown, make him and his demons smile
On me they dog-pile, I done got way too involved now
Hate when they play with me, told Jimmy playfully, “I’m finna burn this all down”

4batz Releases Mellow New Single “Hood Grammy”

November 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Since entering the scene with the viral single “act ii: date @ 8,” Dallas-based singer 4batz has had a quiet 2024. His debut mixtape, U Made Me a St4r, was set to be released on Drake’s OVO Sound label after the rapper hopped on a remix of the track and took a liking to the singer. However, that did not materialize, and he instead released the project independently. None of the tracks on the tape even approximated the success of “date @ 8.” But based on the lyrics from his latest track “hood grammy,” 4batz seems to be fine with the success he’s already achieved.

“hood grammy” is a victory lap of sorts for 4batz. He talks about how he was broke when he dropped out of school, but has since made enough money to “buy a brand-new Bentley.” The track is dedicated to his mother and grandmother, the former of whom raised him as a single parent. He also dedicates the track to those in the trenches, and others who stood by him. He may not have a Grammy, but the support he’s gotten from his peers more than makes up for it in his mind. Structurally, it sounds a lot like “date @ 8,” with similar vocal flourishes and a cloudy beat. It’s a catchy track that sounds nice on a speaker. He has not announced plans for another album yet. But in the meantime, check out the new single from 4batz below.

4batz – “hood grammy”

Quotable Lyrics:

My mama said these n****s always envy, yeah
So you always gotta keep it with you, yeah
The labels talkin’ couple millis
But my mama raised me independent
I wonder who is f****n’ with me, yeah
In my hood, I think I won a Grammy

Snoop Dogg & Dr. Dre Flip Iconic Police Song On The Sting-Assisted “Another Part Of Me”

November 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre are a legendary duo who are responsible for some of hip-hop’s most iconic songs. Overall, their legacies in rap music are cemented. However, that does not mean they are by any means finished with making music. In fact, on December 13th, they will be dropping a new album together called Missionary which is the spiritual successor to Snoop’s iconic debut album Doggystyle. The innuendos are pretty clear, and fans are excited for what this is about to sound like.

On Friday, the two decided to bless fans with a rare Thanksgiving weekend drop. They did so in the form of the song “Another Part Of Me” which features Sting. The feature makes a whole lot of sense when you realize the production is a flip of The Police’s iconic hit song “Message In A Bottle.” This guitar-driven production is met with some rare auto-tuned singing from Snoop. Although this might be polarizing to some longtime fans, there are some interesting ideas here.

The album promises to be a victory lap for the West Coast, which is already having a huge year thanks to the emergence of numerous talented local acts. Furthermore, you cannot forget about Kendrick Lamar whose song “Not Like Us” was one of the biggest of the entire year. Following the success of GNX, there is no doubt that Missionary is going to be the perfect way for Los Angeles to cap off its legendary year.

Snoop Dogg Shows Off His Singing Chops

Quotable Lyrics:

Out here livin’ armed and dangerous
Now tell me, what do you want from me?
Here in the land of thе lost and the scandalous
Bright lights, sunny days, cold nights
Ride the wavе, hold tight, just a day in Los Angeles

J Cole & Drake Showed Off Their Chemistry 14 Years Ago On “In The Morning”

November 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

J Cole recently released his classic and beloved 2010 mixtape Friday Night Lights on streaming services for the first time, and fans are rejoicing as a result. It’s a big unexpected hit of nostalgia amid a pretty interesting year for the Dreamville boss, such as a new reflective audio series, a brand-new mixtape, and a Kendrick Lamar battle that seems to shift in public perception with each new update. But none of that would be possible without Cole’s talent, one that he displays on “In The Morning.”

It’s a pretty smooth and steady romantic cut that leans more lustful than languid, and features the other big piece of the Kendrick Lamar battle: Drake. He and J. Cole are in a pretty vague spot right now, mostly because Drizzy himself hasn’t really responded to the North Carolina MC’s defense of him in any significant way. But their chemistry on this Friday Night Lights cut is quite solid, and it’s one that they definitely improved upon 13 years later with tracks like “Evil Ways.”

Meanwhile, J. Cole is seemingly closing out 2024 on a reflective note, looking back at his career through the Inevitable audio series. With that in mind, listening to “In The Morning” really brings that retrospection to life. With The Fall Off still on the way and new chapters emerging in the 2024 rap war seemingly every day, it looks like 2025 will also be a busy year for Cole. In any case, we’re excited to see him tackle it.

J Cole & Drake’s “In The Morning”

Quotable Lyrics
You see, my intentions with you was clear,
I’m learning not to judge a woman by the s**t that she wear,
Therefore, you shouldn’t judge a n***a off the s**t that you hear,
Get all defensive, apprehensive, all because my career

November 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kevin Gates is an artist who has been in the game for a while now, and throughout the years, he has continuously improved his craft. Although he may not be making hits like “Two Phones” and “Really Really” anymore, he makes up for it in his storytelling and wisdom. Overall, his songs are motivational in nature, and that is certainly true of his most recent single which was released on YouTube recently. The song is called “Be Somebody” and it can be listened to down below.

As the name of the song would suggest, this track is all about finding yourself and becoming the best version of you, regardless of the circumstances. Gates discusses all of the hardships he had to go through before becoming the man he is today. Moreover, he delivers emotional passages on leaning on your loved ones through hard times. These are messages that many can relate to, and it is why Gates’ music always seems to resonate.

Moving forward, it will be interesting to see what Kevin Gates’ musical plans will be. Perhaps we will get a new album in the new year. Or perhaps Gates is just having fun and releasing singles here and there until he feels like an album is what’s necessary. Whatever the case may be, we are happy to have new Gates songs. Overall, he is always elevating, and we want to know what he has to say. Additionally, a Kevin Gates rollout with more iconic interviews is always appreciated.

Kevin Gates Is Motivating With His New Song

Have you ever needed somebody?
Tired of being broke and want to be somebody
My heart too genuine, sometimes feel I wasn’t built to love
Victim of this cold world, n***a, difficult to trust

EST Gee Treats Fans To Knocking Anthem With New Single “The Streets”

November 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

EST Gee has an understated charisma. The rapper has a magnetic quality with having to resort to crazy deliveries or outrageous flows. He’s always in the pocket, and he makes music that is mellow, yet tinged with a menacing undercurrent. “The Streets” is a perfect example of these two dynamics co-existing on the same song. EST Gee’s latest is a lean street anthem that sees the rapper find a catchy pocket and ride it out over an organ-heavy instrumental.

There’s definitely a Southern flavor to the instrumental. The organ stabs anchor the drums, and then rise to the forefront during the chorus. It sounds like an instrumental that a Young Jeezy or a T.I. would get on two decades ago, but with a modern update. EST Gee brings the same slick yet weary delivery that T.I.P. and the Snowman perfected in their primes. The lyrics are pretty standard, and adhere to the title of the song, but EST Gee’s conviction is what really gets this song across the finish line. You believe him when he spits: “I was slidin’ and poppin’ sh*t with the same n**gas I was coppin’ bricks.” “The Streets” is yet another win for Gee.

Let us know what you think of this brand-new track, in the comments section down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will continue to keep you informed on all of your favorite artists and their upcoming projects.

EST Gee Throws It Back To Southern Trap Classics

Quotable Lyrics:

They gon’ pull out my phone to spin, don’t leave the lo’ until he killed (Uh)
I’ll be past my toes and hands, I count the ones, I seen and went (Uh)
Instead of invest in businesses, I’m plannin’ on gettin’ a killer rich

Then, just a few weeks ago, he would deliver his first solo effort, Dieuson Octave, which is titled after his government name. In conjunction with this exciting news, fans are being treated to a Thanksgiving Eve single, “Versatile 4.”

If that song title sound familiar, that’s because this a long-running series within his discography. For those who don’t know, this all began back in 2017 on his Project Baby 2: All Grown Up LP.

The second would land on the deluxe of that aforementioned project and is a whopping 9:42 long. Then, the third would drop about three years ago, coming in at a more listenable 5:36. Overall, these tracks are to showcase Kodak Black’s ability to perform on an extended listen. Depending on how big of a fan you are of his, these might be for you.
