Paul Wall Taps Friends For Slang In “Underground Ambassador”

November 24, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Paul Wall and DJ Fresh assemble a crew of lyricists to give them the opportunity to educate the masses on the latest slang in the new track “Underground Ambassador.” Relying on some familiar faces, the Houston native brings together unique wordsmiths from all four corners of the map. Freeway out of Philly, Berner from the Bay Area, Big K.R.I.T. representing Mississippi, Termanology out of Massachusetts, and Rich The Factor from Kansas City. Everyone on the track delivers a signature slang that describes grinding. The new track is the lead single for Paul Wall’s forthcoming album of the same title.

The latest release follows a lengthy history of collaborations between Paul Wall and Termanology. The two have previously joined forces on two joint albums that included guest appearances by Freeway and Big K.R.I.T. Paul has been guiding Houston hip-hop for years now with his iced-out appeal and catchy lyrics about riding down with the bass rattling. Wall was a part of the original Swish House crew that took over hip-hop in the early 2000s. “Still Trippin,” his hit song with Mike Jones and Slim Thug, turned 20 years old recently. The song’s success would lead to Wall being featured on Ye’s classic “Drive Slow.” Wall’s new album is scheduled for release this month on his own imprint.

“Underground Ambassador” – Paul Wall ft. Big K.R.I.T., Freeway, Termanology, Berner, Rich The Factor

Quotable Lyrics:

I’m the underground ambassador

Dropping slang you might not understand, but hold tight; I’m a break it down

Showing out for my block at all times, for sh*t sho, I rep for my town

Cuzzin Howie (Johnny Shipes) Collabs With Smoke DZA For Weed Anthem “Jamaica Good”

November 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Previously known as the Cinematic Music Group for years, founder Johnny Shipes (Johnnyshipes) has been taking the label in a different direction. After selling it to Interscope and Geffen back in the summer of 2023 (via Vibe), he decided to kickstart a reimagined version of CMG now referred to as GoodTalk. It was a pretty big deal, especially considering the fact that Shipes signed current hip-hop stars Joey Bada$$, Big K.R.I.T., Nipsey Hussle, and more. But so far, things seem to be working out for the visionary, as his current roster of talent is nothing to sneeze at. That Mexican OT, Cam’ron, Lexa Gates, and returning act, Smoke DZA. The latter was actually one of Shipes’ earliest finds and he’s assisting him with a new single.

After being a manager of talent for years, Shipes has obviously been able to pick up some skills from studio sessions and the like. He’s now applying those talents and releasing music under his “Cuzzin Howie” moniker. This alias is portrayed by an adventurous and troublesome purple dog that is said to have befriended Shipes, according to the label’s website. He has already released one song, that being “Verbals” with MAVI. That dropped back in late October. But this weekend, “Cuzzin Howie” has come back with DZA for “Jamaica Good.” Aptly named, especially because of the feature on the track, it’s a head-nodding and trippy weed jam. Overall, this is a very exciting move for Shipes and the label at large. Given the world building and the character creation, we could be in for a project of sorts, and hopefully soon.

Miguel Delivers One Of His Most Raw Records Yet With “Always Time”

November 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Los Angeles, California singer, songwriter, and producer, Miguel, has become one of R&B’s more elusive faces. Throughout the 2010s, he was dropping records with fair consistency. However, since 2017’s War & Leisure, he’s been a recluse. He’s helped out with other artist’s singles. But solo wise, Miguel has remained pretty silent for the most part. A return could be near though, as he’s been teasing a new album over the last year, Viscera. It’s still very much in limbo, as a release date remains hidden. Potential releases that could make the cut include 2023’s “Give It To Me” and “Number 9” with Lil Yachty.

You could throw “Always Time” in there now as well, which Miguel just dropped this weekend. Over his illustrious and underrated career, the “Sure Thing” artist has proven to be unpredictable. On “Always Time,” he’s wailing over a haunting acoustic instrumental about letting go of a past lover. However, it’s clear that this relationship meant a lot to him. Miguel has spoken very candidly about this single, saying, “This may be the most difficult song I’ve ever had to write — for all of the life lessons and experiences that live between each line,” he began. However, it seems that this song needed to be written, and its ideas had to be spread to release that pent up pain for Miguel. “I’m grateful for the closure it has given me and know it’s the most honest way to begin this chapter of my artistry and relationship with my audience.” Overall, it’s a terrific display of vocal range, rawness, and vulnerability, and this next of his era should be special.

“Always Time” – Miguel

Quotable Lyrics:

Broken glass, piercing words
It change so fast, yeah, it hurts
Rocky past, lessons learned
Don’t say it’s too late, I thought there was always time

Lola Brooke Won’t Be Taken Lightly On “Go To Yo Head”

November 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Lola Brooke wants to make sure every man out there understands she’s got big expectations on “Go To Yo Head.” This is the latest offering from the Brooklyn representative, following up on her previous collab with Jeremih, “No One Else.” Nothing has been made official, but there’s a solid chance that she’s working toward a new album. Given the tone and themes of these last releases, we could be in for more of a love focused record. Multiple genres could be at play as well, which is something that Lola Brooke is known to do. From drill, R&B, and pop/trap rap, she has not been afraid to push herself to new heights.

On “Go To Yo Head,” she’s going back to her MC roots, which is a feisty and rumbling brand of spitting. Here, instead of doing the most for her man, Lola is wanting to be one who’s splurged on. On top of that, she’s letting it be known that she’s not going to be played. In a recent statement, she said, “There’s no room to get big-headed and think for a second that Lola is that girl to be played with. That’s the energy on Go To Yo Head. I’m a step on heads every time if they come for mine.” Overall, it’s another lively and gritty performance from the pint-sized femcee.

“Go To Yo Head” – Lola Brooke

Quotable Lyrics:

B****, get back, I be moving tact
I be talking money, he be throwing racks
He said I’m dramatic, don’t know how to act
N****, if you love me, get my face tatted
Want me to be your lady? Cop me that Mercedes
I be in the latest, BET in Vegas

Kendrick Lamar Wants To Change A Woman’s Life For The Better On SZA-Assisted “Luther”

November 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The wild return of Kendrick Lamar is reuniting him with SZA and twice we may add. If you haven’t been keeping count, it’s been a stunning six years since their last collaboration. That of course was their mainstream pop rap/R&B crossover “All The Stars” off the Black Panther soundtrack. Whatever it is, these two former label mates always get into their more sensual bags. The same is the case on “luther,” the first joint effort between Kendrick Lamar and SZA on GNX. The former kicks the track off this love story by giving us some context as to who he has eyes on.

It sounds like it’s a stripper, possible sex worker, or just a promiscuous woman who’s misunderstood. “Hey, Roman numeral seven, bae, drop it like it’s hot / If this world was mine, I’d take your dreams and make ’em multiply / If this world was mine, I’d take your enemies in front of God,” he raps in his more monotone and stuffy delivery. SZA then pops in on the chorus and portrays this woman going forward as she’s hopeful that better days are coming for her thanks to this man (Kendrick). They harmonize pretty well, with SZA’s vocals soaring and taking the spotlight at those points. See where this Kendrick and SZA collab ranks for you by checking it out with the link below.

“Luther” – Kendrick Lamar & SZA

Quotable Lyrics:

I’m not even trippin’, I won’t stress you out
I might even settle down for you, I’ma show you I’m a pro
I’ma take my take my time and turn it off
Just so I can turn you on, baby
Weekends, get it poppin’ on the low
Better days comin’ for sure

Lil Tjay Hints At New Music In Latest Single “Let It Go Baby”

November 22, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Over the last five years or so, Lil Tjay has built up quite a loyal fanbase. It’s thanks to his abilities to pen relatable and personal tracks, as well as lowkey sensual jams. The latter of which has produced some of his biggest hits to date such as “Calling My Phone” with 6LACK. Another reason why he’s become such a fixture in the East Coast scene is because of his willingness to drop. If you haven’t been keeping up, Lil Tjay has laid out a trio of singles over the last two months.

Hopefully, this means that an album is on the horizon. It’s been over a year since he dropped 222. He hasn’t announced anything officially yet, however, he may have done so in a song. This weekend, Lil Tjay delivered “Let It Go Baby,” and on the chorus is where he hints at a possible LP. “Been a minute, I ain’t been droppin’, time to go crazy,” he melodically raps on the first line. He’s already been going off lat ely, but maybe this is a sign of even more things to come. Overall, Tjay is sounding solid over the somber keys and minimal beat as he talks about stresses, people trying to bring him down, and more.

“Let It Go Baby” – Lil Tjay

Quotable Lyrics:

Been a minute, I ain’t been droppin’, time to go crazy
When I told ’em, “I really got it,” they were so shady
I been knew I would hit the top and it won’t no “Maybe”
And all this s*** could stop, that’s if you go lazy
Lot on my mind but I’ma always keep goin’
Ain’t wastin’ no time and I think all that s*** showin’

Kendrick Lamar Is Ready To “Squabble Up” On “GNX” Cut

November 22, 2024 by newhiphopnews

If other rappers are going to want to knock Kendrick Lamar off his pedestal, then they’re going to have to “squabble up.” While there are a ton of stellar tracks on his shocking sixth studio album, this one looks to have the most mainstream appeal. But don’t get it twisted, “squabble up” is mega banger with some great wordplay, slick flows, and some great personality. The chorus is going to be in everyone’s ears, maybe just as much as “Not Like Us.” In fact, it borrows some elements from that Drake diss record. “Thunk, thunk, thunk, thunk, thunk, baby rockin’ it,” sounds reminiscent of “Wop, wop, wop, wop, wop, Dot, f*** ’em up / Wop, wop, wop, wop, wop, I’ma do my stuff.”

Most will remember, but in case you forgot, “squabble up” was previewed a few months ago. Just before the “Not Like Us” visual got underway, Kendrick teased a little 20-second snippet. It previewed the entire intro of “squabble up,” and many were clamoring for him to drop the full recording. Well, it’s here now and didn’t disappoint in the slightest. The same can be said for the rest of the tracklist of GNX, which hit streaming platforms out of the blue just moments ago. See what K. Dot did with “squabble up” with the link below.

“Squabble Up” – Kendrick Lamar

Quotable Lyrics:

I got hits, I got bucks, I got new paper cuts
I got friends, I got foes, but they all sitting ducks
Hit his turf and get crackin’, double back like a deluxe
Fifty deep, but it ain’t deep enough
F*** a plea, there he go, beat him up
Fallin’ from my money tree and it grow throughout the months

BossMan Dlow Debuts A Different Flow On “The Biggest Pt. 2”

November 22, 2024 by newhiphopnews

BossMan Dlow has been racking up the achievements like the Infinity Stones in 2024. He’s a XXL Freshman, a BET “Best New Artist” nominee, and he’s racked plaques on plaques very early on. He’s accomplished all of this by adopting the off-kilter style of the Florida hip-hop scene with some pretty unique flows. There has been some chatter, however, regarding his approach to each record. There is a saying that goes, “If it ain’t broke don’t fix it.” But hardcore music fans always appreciate when artists take risks and step outside of their comfort zones.

BossMan Dlow is doing that to some extent on his newest release, “The Biggest Pt. 2.” Topically, the Florida rapper isn’t straying away from what he knows. Those focal points include brags, money, women, and violence. However, the changes are coming on the technical side. Dlow is matching the tempo of the beat more on this cut and getting playful at times with his delivery. That’s especially the case on the first verse during the bars that are below. Given the title, “The Biggest Pt. 2” is a sequel track. The first of these songs landed on BossMan’s 2022 debut project, Too Slippery. The “Get In With Me” hitmaker is also apparently in “album mode,” — via his IG Story– so it looks like we got another LP inbound.

“The Biggest Pt. 2” – BossMan Dlow

Quotable Lyrics:

You can’t walk a mile in these new Louis Vuittons (Louis Vuittons)
Anytime the crackers run up, I run (I run)
Anytime the crackers lock me up, I post bond (I post bond)
Ain’t no discussion, p**sy n****, I’m him (I’m him)
I’ma get some money, baby, I ain’t one of them (I ain’t one of them)
Wanna shop with me? Gotta smoke it out the stem

Nicki Minaj Celebrates 10 Years Of “Pinkprint” With Long Lost Juice WRLD Collab “Arctic Tundra”

November 22, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Back in late August of this year, Nicki Minaj was teasing some tracks for the then upcoming Pink Friday 2 Gag City Reloaded. That never really came to fruition outside of another leg of her expansive tour. Luckily, though, not all was lost during that past Instagram Live session. Drake and Juice WRLD collaborations were the main draw, with one title in particular holding a special place in the Queen’s heart. “Blonde Hair,” aka “Girl With The Blonde Hair” is that one with Nicki stating, “It would be incredible for me I think to have Juice WRLD on this album.”

She continued, “Because before he passed that’s what we were talking about. He recorded a bunch of stuff when he was in my studio, but I don’t like to exploit people, and people’s deaths and stuff like that.” Well, it looks like Nicki Minaj was able to work things out because “Arctic Tundra” is now officially here, and it’s found a new home. This updated title appears on the Tenth Anniversary Edition of her massively successful 2014 project, The Pinkprint. Three other tracks are also on this fourth version of the album, including other collabs with Swae Lee, David Guetta and Davido, and Parker Ignite. Overall, it’s been a long time coming for “Arctic Tundra,” with origins of this record’s creation dating back to 2018.

“Arctic Tundra” – Nicki Minaj & Juice WRLD

Quotable Lyrics:

I don’t need job applications for that pressure I apply
That is why they gotta lie, that is just how they get by
But my flow still gon’ be wavy and your flow still gon’ be dry
I done f***ed the world up in ten short years
Had teachers like Weezy F. and been all ears
Blue studs that’s VVS, then get more peers

Lil Nas X Slows It Down With Seductive New Single “NEED DAT BOY”

November 22, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Lil Nas X is in an interesting place. The rapper was a record-breaking superstar a few short years ago, but he has struggled to come up a sophomore album. Buzz singles have failed to connect, and he has even had to contend with accusations of relying too heavily on controversy to sell music. Lil Nas X is taking a different approach with his new rollout, though. The rapper appears to be focused on music quality, as evidenced by his first DREAMBOY single, “LIGHT AGAIN!.” Nas X is back with his second offering, “NEED DAT BOY,” and its another winner.

“NEED DAT BOY” is a perfect balance to the bouncy, club ready “LIGHT AGAIN!” It’s slowed down and sensual. It’s one of the most lush R&B ballads that Lil Nas X has released to date, and it suits his voice surprisingly well. It’s nothing groundbreaking in terms of content or even delivery, but it’s well done. Lil Nas X has a knack for finding catchy pockets within his instrumentals, and the same goes for his vocal performance on “NEED DAT BOY.” It’s difficult to imagine this song blowing up the way that something like “Old Town Road” or “Industry Baby” did, but that is not a slight at all on its quality. Nas X has a lot to prove on his next album, and so far, he’s delivering.

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.

Lil Nas X Showcases His R&B Talents On Latest Song

Quotable Lyrics:

I been looking for a muse, need a new persona
Put your picture on my wall, you my new Madonna
Sorry, darling, I been down for a couple summers
Falling back in the crowd, smokin’ marijuana
