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

Snoop Dogg & Dr. Dre Team Up With Alus For Hard-Hitting Single “Outta Da Blue”

November 21, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Snoop Dogg is currently gearing up to unleash his highly anticipated album with Dr. Dre, Missionary. The project will be a follow-up to his iconic 1993 debut, Doggystyle, and is slated for release on December 13. To get listeners excited about what’s to come, the California-born rapper unveiled yet another single today, “Outta Da Blue.” It features both Dr. Dre and New Jersey songstress Alus.

They first previewed the new track at ComplexCon a few days ago. It’s also featured in the trailer for an upcoming Netflix film, “Back In Action,” which stars Jamie Foxx and Cameron Diaz. Aside from producing the track, fans hear Dr. Dre deliver some hard-hitting bars. The song even samples M.I.A.’s 2007 single, “Paper Planes.” The release of “Outta Da Blue” comes just weeks after Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre unveiled the star-studded Missionary tracklist, and left supporters more eager than ever to hear what they have up their sleeve.

It features the likes of BJ The Chicago Kid, Jhené Aiko, Tom Petty, Jelly Roll, Sting, Method Man, 50 Cent, Eminem, and many more. This isn’t the only new material they’ve gotten from the duo in recent weeks, however. During a live episode of Drink Champs at ComplexCon, they also debuted several other snippets from the album. They even previewed the Sting collab they’ve been teasing since this summer, which interpolates his band The Police’s “Message In A Bottle.” Already, they’ve been receiving a great deal of praise for what they’ve come up with, and fans can’t wait for the rest of Missionary.

Snoop Dogg Prepares To Unleash Missionary

Quotable Lyrics:

Uh, on sight, I give you the green light
Some n****s is all bark, my n***a, we all bite
You gambling with your life? Well f*ck it, let’s roll the dice
There’ll be some motherf*cking problems if this dog in a fight

Jack Harlow Swoops By To Say “Hello Miss Johnson” In New Single: Stream

November 21, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Jack Harlow is falling for a girl, and he wants to communicate that in one of the most relatable ways possible: wild neighborhood antics? Moreover, he just released the new single and music video “Hello Miss Johnson,” and as the title suggests, it’s about his love for a partner and how he’s basically asking her mother for her blessing. In the music video, you see a lot of random home security camera footage of some shenanigans in a pretty nice neighborhood, most of which depict the Kentucky rapper doing romantic gestures, rapping to the doorbell camera, or taking his partner home. It’s a pretty creative and quirky set of visuals from the YBN fan, which fits the tone of the track itself.

On “Hello Miss Johnson” Jack Harlow delivers buttery and calm flows over a bossa nova sample with very minimal additional percussion, such as some snaps and muffled kicks here and there. It’s a really nice pallet for the “Lovin On Me” MC, especially as it’s been a while since we heard new music from him. He’s dabbled in more movie fare and also released some sneaker collabs, and we’re happy to say that none of this took away from his musical talent. In fact, this is probably one of this catalog’s best tracks in a while, as its topical charm and simple beat are a treat. Find the song on your preferred streaming service or check out the music video on YouTube below. Down there, you can also find some standout bars and the comments section for you to leave your thoughts on the track.

Jack Harlow’s “Hello Miss Johnson”: Stream & Watch The Music Video

Quotable Lyrics
Your mom called asking when you plan to be home,
It’s been a week or so, longer than you said you’d be gone,
You say you love her, then you ask her what the family’s on,
Before you hang up on her, hand me the phone so I can say

Lupe Fiasco Serves Up A Fight Song On “Pound For Pound”

November 21, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Lupe Fiasco is easily one of the most respected MCs in the entire world and for good reason. Overall, his catalog is filled with classic records. Even now, Lupe is putting out some of his best work, and the concepts continue to be on point. His album Samurai was easily one of the best of the entire year and it certainly deserves all of the praise in the world. Even with this latest project filed away, it appears as though Lupe is still hungry to give fans more music.

For instance, today, he dropped off a new track simply called “Pound For Pound.” Upon putting on this track, you can immediately hear what he is trying to go for with this. The song sounds like something that would be used as a compilation of clips for when a boxer or UFC fighter is walking out for their fight. The beat even has a Kanye West “Black Skinhead” vibe to it that fans will appreciate. Although, the theme of the song begs questions about whether or not this track is just a one-off or perhaps part of a soundtrack of some sort.

Whatever the case may be, it is always good to hear some new music from the likes of Lupe Fiasco. He is an artist who continue to get better with age. Consequently, we are never going to say no to a new song or project. With that being said, there is no doubt that Lupe could very well be in some album of the year discussions. After all, we are almost at the end of 2024.

Drake & Future Set The World On Fire With “Jumpman”

November 21, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Drake & Future aren’t exactly on the best of terms right now. Overall, this is due to the fact that Future dissed Drake on his recently albums with Metro Boomin. However, in a recent interview with GQ, Future acted a bit incredulous over the beef. For instance, he proclaimed that he had no idea that Kendrick Lamar was actually going to diss Drake on “Like That.” Furthermore, Future has been talking about how he truly believes he should have been mentioned in the Big Three discussion.

With all of this talk about Drake & Future, we can’t help but think about all of the good times that these artists had together. Of course, this includes the album What A Time To Be Alive which dropped back in 2015. Since it is Thursday, what better to reminisce than a Throwback Thursday? In particular, we are thinking about the album’s most famous song, “Jumpman.” This was an undeniable banger and anthem that fans are still thinking about to this day.

One has to wonder if Drake & Future will ever reconcile. Based on this new GQ interview, it really does seem like Future would like to link up with Drake again. However, Kendrick Lamar went pretty hard, and we can imagine Drizzy must feel some type of way. Only time will tell whether or not it is too late for differences to be resolved.

Drake and Future Dropped A Classic

Quotable Lyrics:

Jumpman, Jumpman, Jumpman, them boys up to somethin’
They just spent like two or three weeks out the country
Them boys up to somethin’, they just not just bluffin’
You don’t have to call, I hit my dance like Usher, woo
I just found my tempo like I’m DJ Mustard, woo
I hit that Ginóbili with my left hand up like woo

Tanna Leone Impresses With Blistering Flows On “Stuntman”

November 20, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Back in 2022, Tanna Leone was signed to pgLang where he immediately made an impact. He came through with some new music as an introduction before being featured on the song “Mr. Morale” from Kendrick Lamar’s album Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers. Unfortunately, Leone’s relationship with pgLang has not proven to be a lengthy or fruitful one. Earlier this year, it was revealed that Leone was no longer signed to pgLang. There was no reasoning given for this, so fans have been left to speculate.

Regardless, Leone is still out here making new music which is certainly good news for all of the fans out there. Recently, Leone blessed fans with a new song called “Stuntman” which is supposed to come off of his upcoming album. As you will hear, this song is short but it is certainly effective as we hear numerous different flows from Leone. Furthermore, the production is bombastic and energetic, making this an undeniable banger.

When it comes to new artists, you want their art to be filled with personality. There needs to be something there for fans to latch onto so that they can keep coming back for future releases. This is definitely something Leone’s music has and it is why fans continue to look forward to whatever he has on the horizon. Hopefully, we get a new album, very soon.

Tanna Leone Delivers Stuntman

Quotable Lyrics:

When I got the goop it was stepped on (Yeah, yeah)
So I decided I’ma stick to the weed (Yeah, yeah)
Couple of my dawgs threw me plays
When I got back in the game
That’s the type of face card that you need (Yeah, yeah)
Stay down till you take off in a jet on they ass

EST Gee Drops Short But Effective New Single “Go”

November 20, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Lousiville, Kentucky artist EST Gee was someone who had an amazing run during the pandemic. Overall, it was here that a lot of fans became acquainted with his music. Although he hasn’t been as active, he has still made sure to deliver great music for his fans. His last album was a hit, and since that time, his fanbase has been clamoring for as much new music as possible. As it turns out, EST Gee has no plans to disappoint these fans. Instead, he is still hungry to deliver.

On Tuesday, EST Gee returned to the rap game where he dropped off a short two-minute single called “Go.” There are no features on this song, and despite the short run time, the rapper makes sure to be extremely effective with his bars. Not to mention, there is minimalist production here that creates a sinister vibe that fits EST Gee’s flow to perfection. It is a song that showcases an artist who understands his strengths and plays to them.

Moving forward, it will be interesting to see what the next steps will be for the artist. We’re sure some out there are hoping that this is going to lead to some kind of album or even a mixtape. Although for now, fans are just going to have to hang tight for that information.

EST Gee Is Back

Quotable Lyrics:

Too high, I barely can think this last little eight I’ma take to the face (Go)
Don’t lie, we seen you that day, you froze in place, he heard that Drac’ (Go, go, go, go)
I try to understand they hate, but I’m too real to feel ’em, I can’t (Go)
Talk lies speakin’ on my name, you might see a slime bucket comin’ your way (Go, go, go, go)

J Cole Shows That He’s Been Ready To Take Over The Rap Throne On “Simba”

November 19, 2024 by newhiphopnews

While we are all still waiting on The Fall Off to arrive, J Cole still did a pretty cool thing last night. The legendary North Carolina rapper and producer brought his debut mixtape, The Come Up Mixtape Vol. 1 to streaming. The May 2007 release is one of three coveted projects prior to his debut studio album, Cole World: The Sideline Story. This tape was brought out thanks to MC delivering his new audio series Inevitable. He announced that over the weekend, it’s going to be 10 episodes, and will reveal some cool BTS of Cole’s career leading up to 2014 Forest Hills Drive.

As it stands, fans are speculating that we could be getting all three of these foundational mixtapes. That’s especially because The Come Up was dropped in tandem with the first episode which was also titled after the project. If that’s true, then we will also have The Warm Up on November 22 and Friday Night Lights on November 27. It’s an exciting thought, but for now, we are revisiting one of J Cole’s earliest hits, “Simba.” Here, you are getting him at his hungriest as he likens himself to Simba from The Lion King, as the heir to rap throne, which he believes belonged to his soon-to-be mentor, JAY-Z. Overall, it’s a motivational anthem. Additionally, it’s an early look into how his writing and flows would evolve.

“Simba” – J Cole

Quotable Lyrics:

Man, I’m hungry, does it show? Ain’t nuttin’ funny, f*** a joke
I’m gettin’ money ’til my pockets need a tummy tuck, I hope
You n****s woke now, impermanently send you to hell
You meet the devil, sign a permanent lease, word on the streets
Is I’m the prince n****, check the splendor, and I can’t wait
To be the King, n****: young Simba, word on the streets

Morray Looks To Make It “Out The Hole” On Motivational New Single

November 18, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Despite the low output, Fayetteville, North Carolina singer and rapper Morray is an exciting talent. Most may remember him from his uplifting feature on J. Cole’s “m y . l i f e” from The Off-Season. However, he’s been on plenty of other major projects like ones from Macklemore, Busta Rhymes, as well on the soundtracks for Creed III and Madden NFL 22. But as we said, the solo catalog remains pretty short, as he has dropped just one album which landed in 2021. Hopefully, though, Morray is working toward ending the drought with “Out The Hole” being a potential sign of that.

This is the EMPIRE affiliate’s third release of the year, with the previous two dropping on YouTube exclusively. Morray is known for his preacher-like voice and inspirational messages. “Out The Hole” provides more of those trademark qualities in addition to his singing and rapping style. Over a southern-style beat, Morray belts out lines about how much he’s improved his life over the years. The chorus is especially an amazing display of his vocal range, as he raps, “From the bottom to the top, a n**** made it out of the motherf***in’ ho-o-ole / Blue car, big crib, this ain’t how I used to live, n****, no-oh-oh / You be actin’ like you n****s know, but you n****s don’t really f***in’ know-oh-oh.” If you’re in the market for some empowerment this song has it in a surplus amount.

“Out The Hole” – Morray

Quotable Lyrics:

Had to learn to be asserted when it come to them bands
N****s be tryna find the exit after gettin’ the grand, it’s big
Loyalty shouldn’t come with no price
But nowadays, n****s wanna ask you for a piece of the pie
But can’t bake they own cake, so I ain’t givin’ up mine
Be Tony Hawk, get on board, n****, learn how to grind (Whoa-oh-oh)

Tyga Showcases His Best Talents On “Don’t Be Fooled” Two-Pack

November 18, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Throughout Tyga’s career, we have been able to pick up on his strengths and weaknesses. He’s not going to blow your mind with his pen. However, he does know how to put together some sticky lines, though. But where he really shines is in the melody and instrumental departments. The ears for those vital factors of any good song are on full display on Tyga’s new songs “Don’t Be Fooled” and “Mmphh.” Both land on a two-pack named after the former and they arrive during a nice little stretch for the California rapper.

For “Don’t Be Fooled,” Tyga and d.a got that dope create an earworm through an addicting drum pattern and haunting string sections. His flows on the track are perfectly in sync with tempo of the track, making it a catchy listen through and through. Additionally, it’s got a braggadocious vibe, as the “Taste” MC reminds everyone to not take him lightly. Then, on “Mmphh,” the themes remain the same, but there’s a shift in the sounds. A flute enters the fray, and it fits snuggly into the mix. In addition, Tyga’s delivery is lively and a little playful. Overall, it sounds like he was having fun in the studio when putting these tracks together.

Don’t Be Fooled – Tyga

Quotable Lyrics From “Don’t Be Fooled”:

I keep it fresh, she admire my effervescence (Ha)
But I can’t trust that b****, n****, I learned my lesson (Nah)
Enemies clickin’ up, n****s feel threatened (Psh)
These n****s pressed for p**sy, I am not stressin’ (Never)
My theme song all about the Benjamins, pepper (Pepper)
Shake that a**, move your cheek to the beat, baby (Baby)
