Gunna Aims For The Neck On New Single “Whatsapp (Wassam)”

May 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Gunna caught the stray of all strays on Kendrick Lamar’s “Euphoria” diss. The Compton rapper used Gunna as an example of a snitch, which is a label Gunna has been trying to separate himself from since the YSL trial got underway. The best way to make listeners forget about past indiscretions, though, is to put out good music. That’s exactly what Gunna does with his new single “Whatsapp (Wassam).” The song is a teaser for the rapper’s upcoming album, and it makes good on the hype.

Gunna previewed “Whatsapp (Wassam) on April 21, 2024. There wasn’t an official title, so fans took to calling the snippet “Push Back.” It makes sense, given the repeated use of the phrase in the chorus. “Sh*t changed but it still get pushed back (Push back),” Gunna raps. “I drop, make these little n**gas push back (Push).” The bars are standard Gunna fare, with talk of belittling other rappers and flossing how much more he makes than his competition. He makes it clear that he doesn’t like wasting time on “chit chat” if the topic isn’t money. “But f*ck that, look at my accomplishments,” he urges the listener. “Let’s check out my style, astonishin.”

Gunna Sounds Quietly Menacing On His Album Teaser

Turbo laces “Whatsapp (Wassam)” with a tight, hard-knocking instrumental. It’s not groundbreaking by any means, and the underlying melody sounds a bit like Drake’s “Way 2 Sexy,” but it still knocks. Turbo and Gunna go way back, as the former served as an executive producer on Gunna’s breakout project, Drip or Drown 2. He’s also produced some of the rapper’s best songs, including “Drip Too Hard” and “Wunna.” The two artists keep their winning streak intact here.

What are your thoughts on this new single, “Whatsapp (Wassam)” by Gunna? Does this track get you excited for his upcoming album, One of Wun? Do you think Gunna will be able to shake off the “snitch” allegations? Will a good album be enough to restore his reputation? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Gunna.

Quotable Lyrics

I don’t care if it gotta be a couple of years, still, I’m gon’ get my lick back

Been flooded the Range, been flooded the chains, and get it, ’cause they should remember that

May 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

If you are a fan of underground rap, you are probably familiar with OsamaSon. If you aren’t familiar, then that is okay. You will be soon enough. Overall, he is a rapper and producer known for an extremely harsh and blown-out sound that will not play to everyone’s tastes. However, as it turns out, this style of rap is becoming very popular among the youth right now. They are tired of the cookie cutter beats being put out by the game’s biggest producers. Instead, fans want that extra rush of dopamine, and these wild production choices scratch that itch.

Recently, OsamaSon dropped off a brand-new track called “Just Score It.” Overall, this is a song that had been out in the ether for quite some time. Much like other underground acts, OsamaSon has a steady stream of snippets and leaks making the rounds. However, on SoundCloud, the track was officially released for fans to consume. You can go on ahead and stream the song, down below.

OsamaSon Is Up

For the uninitiated, this is going to be a tough listen. However, if you want to get a better sense of the Gen Z/Gen Alpha approach to music, this is a great gateway to that.

Let us know what you think of this track from OsamaSon, in the comments section down below. Are you a fan of the underground rapper?

May 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

G-Eazy is an artist who has been around for over a decade at this point. Overall, he has built a pretty massive fanbase. Although he isn’t always considered part of the hip-hop establishment, he is still an artist who seems to secure big features. Furthermore, his fans have stuck with him throughout the years and all of his different eras. His longevity is certainly admirable, and he has had enough hits to keep himself eating for years to come. That said, G-Eazy is clearly still hungry as he is always looking to drop new music.

For instance, today, the artist came through with a brand-new song. This track is simply called “Lady Killers III” and it is a third installment in a long-running series for G-Eazy. In fact, the last time he gave us a “Lady Killers” track was all the way back in 2014. That said, for long-time fans of the artist, today is certainly a joyous occasion as he is taking them back to one of the most beloved times in his career. Below, you can listen to the new track, and get yourself wrapped up in the vibes of vintage G-Eazy.

G-Eazy Drops A Single

As you can imagine from the title of the track, this is a song about getting a lot of women. Eazy has been known as a playboy throughout his career, so this definitely makes a whole lot of sense.

Drake & Kendrick Lamar Were Once Friendly On “Buried Alive Interlude”

May 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Drake and Kendrick Lamar are currently in the midst of a bitter feud that is not getting any prettier. After the release of Kendrick’s “Euphoria,” it seems clear that Drake will be dropping some sort of response. However, fans are a bit concerned as to what is going to happen in this response. If Drizzy decides to press the red button, this could get very ugly. Overall, the feud has fans looking back fondly at when Drake and Kendrick used to be friends. For instance, over 10 years ago, they were collaborating with one another on their projects.

A great example of this is on the album Take Care, which is considered a classic by many. On the song “Buried Alive Interlude,” we get a full two-minute and thirty-second track that sees Kendrick Lamar spitting a spirited verse. Drake is not on the song, although he is there in spirit given the production of the track. Throughout the song, Kendrick delivers bars about his rise to success and everything that comes with it. Considering where Lamar was at in his career at this point, it makes for an interesting listen.

Drake x Kendrick Lamar

One year later, Kendrick and Drake linked up yet against for the song “Poetic Justice” off of Kendrick Lamar’s magnum opus, Good Kid, M.A.A.D City. To be fair, Kendrick has three albums that fans consider to be magnum opus-worthy. Only time will tell whether or not Drake and Kendrick can ever rekindle their friendship. For now, it is not looking good.

Let us know what you think of this collaboration, in the comments section down below. Do you believe that this is one of the best songs on Take Care? Why do you believe the relationship between these two ultimately got sour? 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.

Quotable Lyrics:

Lookin’ in the mirror, I’m embarrassed
I’m feelin’ like a suicidal terrorist
React like an infant whenever you are mentioned
Mind over matter never worked for my nemesis

The Game Criticizes J Cole For “Watering Down” Rap Battles

May 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

J Cole cannot catch a break. He was roasted by the rap community after he decided to apologize to Kendrick Lamar and take his diss track off streaming platforms. He was clowned by Kanye West on the “Like That” remix despite no longer being involved in the battle. Now, another Compton icon, The Game, has decided to take shots at Jermaine Cole on social media. The Game responded to a comment from Officially Ice by blaming the current state of rap battles on Cole. He really didn’t hold back.

Officially Ice is a panelist on the Joe Budden Podcast, which means he’s entrenched in the battle going on between Drake and Kendrick Lamar. He also remembers what it was like when The Game was going to war with the likes of 50 Cent and G-Unit. He remembers when Game was dropping classic diss songs like “300 Bars N Runnin” in the mid-2000s. “I want one of these rap n**gas to diss Game,” Ice tweeted. “Just so y’all can what a proper diss record looks like.” The Game responded to the post by saying his approach to battles is outdated because it doesn’t follow rules.

The Game Thinks Cole Hurt The Genre By Apologizing

A post shared by THE HIP-HOP WOLF® (@thehiphopwolf)

“My level of disrespect has no limit and I can actually rap rap,” Game wrote back. “Fans gone choose up with whatever artist is currently safe for the culture to love as a whole.” The Compton hitmaker went on to denigrate the way things have changed in the last two decades, before turning his attention to J. Cole. “Hip hop/Rap or whatever y’all calling it these days was already watered down,” he asserted. “Then Cole apologized and turned this sh*t to Kool-Aid wit no sugar.” This is actually the first time that The Game has spoken on the J. Cole apology. Given the rapper’s combative history, though, it’s not a surprise to learn he hated it.

The Game may be from the same city as Kendrick Lamar, but the rapper has collaborated with both Dot and Drake in the past. Drake even threw subliminal disses at Lamar when he appeared on the rapper’s 2015 single “100.” The Game posted a Drake quote on Instagram shortly after the battle started, which led many fans to theorize that he was choosing the 6 God’s side. He’s since clarified that he’s a fan of Lamar, and thinks he’s an “incredible” rapper. None of this reverence, however, applies to J. Cole.

4batz Wrestles With Being In A Toxic Relationship On “Act V: There Goes Another Vase”

May 1, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The industry plant is back! If you do not know who we are talking about, we are referring to the Dallas, Texas singer and balladeer 4batz. He essentially blew up out of nowhere with his smash single “act ii: date @ 8” and it is by far his most popular song. It currently sits at over 132 million streams and to popularize it even more, he added Drake on a remix. With all of this support from the OVO label, the new kid on the block is getting ready to drop his debut mixtape. But before that 4batz has one more single, “act v: there goes another vase,” for us.

This is now the fourth single for 4batz’s project u made me a st4r. Originally, the project was due much sooner than its new date, May 3. Original reports, including one from The Neighborhood Talk, said that he would be making his big entrance on April 5. However, things clearly fell through, and now we are just two days away from seeing what the rookie has to offer.

Listen To “Act V: There Goes Another Vase” By 4batz

This project will be released through OVO, as we briefly mentioned earlier, but only this one for now. There is a good chance Drake and the label are looking to see how he performs over the next few months or so to see if he is worth a long-term look. Even though there might be pressure on him to succeed, that is what could make 4batz a diamond in the industry. Check out the new toxic love cut “act v” above.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single “act v: there goes another vase” by 4batz? Does this track get you excited for u made me a st4r, why or why not? Do you still view him as an industry plant? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.

You damn near hit me in my face
But if I punch on you, then I’ma get a case (Can get a case)

YNW Melly Turns 25: Remembering How Special The “Suicidal Remix” With Juice WRLD Was

May 1, 2024 by newhiphopnews

YNW Melly remains in a revolving door with the court system over the murder charges he is facing for allegedly k*lling his crewmates Sakchaser and Juvy. A lot of rappers have been showing support for the Gifford, Florida native such as Boosie Badazz and Fredo Bang. But like the Louisiana rapper once said about his case, “When they want you, they want you.” The latest development surrounding this never-ending saga is that prosecutors are trying to incorporate a documentary around the rapper’s rise to fame into the evidence pile. Unfortunately, to a lesser extent, YNW Melly will be celebrating another birthday in handcuffs.

Even though his image may not be at its best right now, we did want to celebrate the rapper and singer’s 25th birthday with a throwback post. One of his favorites of ours has to be the “Suicidal Remix” with Juice WRLD. The four-year-old track sees Melly at his best, which is him being in his melodic bag. This is just the second collaboration we have ever heard between him and the late great emo MC.

Relisten To “Suicidal Remix” By YNW Melly & Juice WRLD

If you did not know, this song was actually teased on the same day that the hip-hop community lost one of its great talents. For us, this gives the song so much more weight and according to Genius, it was just the third posthumous collab for Juice. With the content of the song being about toxic relationships, getting him on a remix was a great idea on Melly’s part. If you want to help wish him a happy birthday, revisit the classic emo rap ballad above.

What are your thoughts on “Suicidal Remix” by YNW Melly and Juice WRLD? Is this the better version of this love cut, why or why not? Where does this rank amongst the rest of Melly’s hit songs? What do you think his fate will be in prison? Do you think him and Juice needed to work together more often? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.

Quotable Lyrics:

I thought that we were meant to be
‘Til you struck out like one, two, three
The thought of you was heavenly
At first, now it’s where Hell will be
Oh, I’ve been balling on my own, shawty, sipping fours
Pour it in a twenty, make it strong, shawty, gripping poles

Madlib & Your Old Droog Preview Their Upcoming LP With “REEKYOD” Featuring Black Thought

May 1, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Madlib and Your Old Droog continue to build and strengthen their work relationship with another new single “REEKYOD.” This is now the second offering we have received from this acclaimed duo in the last few weeks. “DBZ” was their last effort and that lyrical powerhouse of a track included extra bars from Denzel Curry and Method Man. On that single, Denzel was making some noise on it by apparently dissing Kendrick Lamar. “‘Cause using big words don’t make you lyrical / And going backwards in a swimmin’ pool don’t make you spiritual.” While “REEKYOD” does not have any subliminal shots, it does have gritty production and adept lyrics from Droog and Black Thought.

According to Stereogum, Madlib and Droog are gearing up to drop a collaboration album in the near future. For the decorated producer, it will be his third project of the year, following up YHWH is LOVE and Liberation 2. For the Brooklynite, it will be his first record in about a year and a half since YOD Presents: The Shining. According to The Source, Droog shared how thrilled he was to be a part of this song, as well as the project on the way.

Listen To “REEKYOD” By Madlib, Black Thought, Your Old Droog

“It’s an honor to be inducted into the heavyweight class of hip hop. To be able to spar with one of the greatest MC’s on a beat by the greatest producer is a dream come true,” Droog said. “Look out for the Madlib x YOD album coming soon.” We sure will be and be sure to check out “REEKYOD” with the link above.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single “REEKYOD” by Madlib, Black Thought, and Your Old Droog? Is this the better of their two recent singles, why or why not?
