2G.Kaash Taps Kodak Black For “Pushin For Love”

by

2G.Kaash just recruited Kodak Black for a new single titled “Pushin for Love,” and they demonstrate great chemistry. Yak signed the Dallas, Texas rapper last February to his Sniper Gang label, in partnership with Atlantic Records. While the Florida rapper has been criticized for signing “crash dummies” to his label, we hope that such accusations don’t turn true for Kaash. It would be a waste of the talent and chemistry on display on this track.

Previously, Kaash released “Walk Down” when he beat a murder charge in May of last year. Moreover, the controversy around his case tacked with new music grew some buzz around his profile. Since then, he’s kept it low-key with a couple of singles and features. Now, it seems he’s gearing up for bigger and better things with his label boss by his side.

However, that’s not to say that Kaash doesn’t come through with a lot of personality, character, and identity on this track. In fact, his passionate singing and introspective lyrics might remind listeners of some of Juice WRLD’s material. Although the vocal tones are similar, the production is more inspired by the melodic, emotive street rap making waves today. Also, it’s a space that Kodak Black himself does very well in on the single, in contrast to recent verses. Moreover, songs like Doodie Loo’s murderous “ISTG, Pt. 2” pair nicely with “Pushin for Love” to show Yak’s range.

Quotable Lyrics

A’s gone, I feel his blood on my hand, I had my

I feel the chaos around me, some s**t never end,
I get high in the sky and I hope this plane never land

Chicago’s PGF Nuk Ends 2022 With His “Sko” Single

by

December started on a high note for 20-year-old PGF Nuk. Firstly, a prestigious gold plaque for his “Waddup” song came his way. Now, the Chicago native is following that up with an exciting new release called “Sko,” which landed on DSPs earlier this week.

The single features “pianos packed with drama, a thundering baseline, and strings that could be scored for a ‘Mission Impossible’ movie,” as a press release points out. Over the infectious beat, the rising rapper chiefly makes his voice heard.

“Unlock the car (Car) Jump out on their ass (Jump) / They runnin’ real fast, foenem thumpin’ at their ass,” he quickly rhymes on the hook. “Tryna catch a opp and break his ass like glass / We treat the streets like school, you just gon’ die without no pass.”

On his first verse, Nuk paints a vivid picture for listeners with his lyrics. “Bitch we in the trenches, real wild, it get vicious, uh / Four shooters and ’em switches, shootin’ crowds, it get wicked, uh.”

While he’s ending the year on a high note, the young rapper has been dropping bangers steadily throughout 2022. Recent arrivals from him include an appearance on Shift One’s “Choppas and Suburbans” as well as his own “Last Week.”

Additionally, he and Icewear Vezzo show out on “Shut Up.” Then in late October, he gave us “Reel Em In.”

Quotable Lyrics:

They know I’m down to ride, I’m ready to slide and I’m on go

They know that I’m a walkin’ bucket, we playing ball then I’m gon’ score

Asian Doll Follows Vydia Partnership With “Sky Falling” Single

by

In the summer, Asian Doll caught our attention with her Let’s Do A Drill album. The 21-track project boasts features from Bandmanrill, 2rare, Iffy Foreign, as well as Tay Money, among others. Since then, she’s been busy with a handful of singles like “Prettiest Problem” and “Come Outside.” Additionally, she’s also shared “Childs Play” with Dee Billz and TaTa.

Before the year closes out, the Dallas-born lyricist has one last song for fans. Along with that comes the exciting announcement of an EP dropping in the new year. On her “Sky Falling” track, Asian lets the world know what’s coming next from her.

The nearly two-and-a-half-minute-long song marks the beginning of the 26-year-old’s collaboration with Vydia. The music tech company will be providing her with “a suite of services.”

Among them are “video and audio supply chain, global distribution, analytics, rights management, payments, and detailed revenue reporting in support of her upcoming EP release.”

Throughout “Sky Falling,” Asian Doll specifically reflects on the ups and downs of her personal life. Even with some tough battles to face, she refuses to let anyone make her feel inferior or stop her from finding success.

“I’m so excited to team up with Vydia, for my next projects,” the rap diva said in a statement via a press release. “It’s time to TAKOVA!”

Additionally, the tech company’s Label and Artist Relations Manager, Sweetness, added, “I have been a fan of Asian Doll from day one, [and] can’t wait to see what we accomplish in 2023 with Vydia support on our side.”

Quotable Lyrics:

Tryna hide my pain, I’m in this house alone
I got addicted to this money, left my friends alone
Don’t know how tell my family that “I really love you long”
I told myself I had my back, how you gon’ do me wrong?

Russ Takes Us “Home” On His Latest Release: Stream

by

It’s been a busy few weekends for new music, and that trend is only continuing into the last few weeks of the year. This Friday (December 16) hip-hop heads were most excited about albums from Young Dolph and Ab-Soul. For singles, though, many have been showing love to arrivals from artists like Central Cee, Latto, and Russ.

The New Jersey native is no stranger to feeding his fans consistent music. On the 9th of this month, he came through with “Too Much,” on which he reflected on a $50 million offer he received in exchange for his music catalogue. Following that, the lyricist is taking us “Home” on his latest single.

As Rap Radar notes, the two-minute and 39-second long song boasts production by Lucas Quinn. Throughout his verses, Russ reflects on the joys of returning back to his bed after a long stint on the road.

Of course, being a working musician is a dream for many. However, constantly travelling and having to perform as the best version of yourself isn’t an easy feat by any means.

“I missed her so much that I made her Mrs. / Feel like I hit the lottery win, when I saved the digits,” his voice croons on the first verse. “I paid her visits, nah Im lyin’, she always came to me / I was a player, but I changed, this is no game to me.”

Previously this fall we heard from the 30-year-old on tracks like “Inside” and “BET.”

Stream Russ’ “Home” single on Spotify or Apple Music below. Afterward, revisit his recent “Too Much” single here.

Quotable Lyrics:

I missed her so much that I made her Mrs.
Feel like I hit the lottery win, when I saved the digits
I paid her visits, nah Im lyin’, she always came to me
I was a player, but I changed, this is no game to me

Smoke DZA & Curren$y Deliver “Park Bench Blues”

by

Despite releasing a solid 8-track project back in October titled 10,000 HRS, this New York rapper had plenty more hours to put in this year. Smoke DZA has returned with a new single “Park Bench Blues” featuring New Orleans’ Curren$y. The two are frequent collaborators; the last track they gave us was “Wish Upon A Star” off of 10,000 HRS. On this new song, both rappers ride over an aloof flute sample topped with hard drums to match.

For those unfamiliar with DZA’s work, we’d recommend projects from this year like Mood Swings with Real Bad Man. There, he displays his penchant for hazy flows, evocative descriptions, and elaborate rhyme schemes. Also, he tends to choose different production styles for different tracks. The 38-year-old sounds just as fitting on “Park Bench Blues”‘s trap beat as he does on drumless beats.

Furthermore, this track is a compelling synthesis of old-school sample work and more contemporary and atmospheric trap production. Both elements are minimal and raw in the mix, with neither overpowering the other. The melodic woodwind loop doesn’t change, but it’s pleasing enough to the ear to stick around. Moreover, it contrasts wonderfully with the deep bass that kicks in with Curren$y’s verse. Additionally, the snares and minimal hi-hats are incredibly sharp, with tones that cut through the rest of the track.

Meanwhile, Smoke DZA and Curren$y deliver some chilled-out verses that cycle through street topics. The New Orleans native comes through with slightly more aggressive energy, as his flows and rhymes evolve and morph into each other. DZA, on the other hand, delivers some vivid weed bars, a more measured flow, and direct punchlines. “Catching packages like Odell” is one of a few gems sprinkled in the track. With a new collaborative album with Big K.R.I.T., Girl Talk, and Wiz Khalifa on the way, we’re sure to get more of those.

But what did you think about this track. You can check out “Park Bench Blues” by Smoke DZA featuring Curren$y on your preferred streaming service. Also, peep more standout bars below and stay tuned to HNHH for the best new rap releases.

Quotable Lyrics

Me and top shelf pot, that’s a love story,
Puff-puff in Cullinans, moving luxury,
Every two hundred I make, I gotta tuck 40,
Have two Ms saved the time I touch 40

SAINt JHN & London On Da Track Are Ready To Take Over “Stadiums” With New Song

by

SAINt JHN’s fanbase has been eagerly awaiting a follow-up to his most recent arrival – 2020’s While The World Was Burning. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem as though we’ll be getting it before 2022 comes to an end. However, the singer-songwriter won’t let his listeners go completely without. On Friday (December 15), he returned with his third single of the year, “Stadiums.”

London On Da Track came through with an assist on the new song. It finds our recording artist lyricising about selling out tours and getting rich from trapping.

“Whole club sellin’ out of here to doin’ stadiums / P*ssy n*ggas don’t come around, they don’t survive my radius” he rhymes on the chorus.

On his first verse, the braggadocios energy only continues. “McLaren way too white to be shootin’ at the opps / I’m sleepin’ good at night, see, the door don’t got no locks / I f*cked her to be spiteful, she best friends with the opps / Them bitches that you buyin’ bags, you need better stocks.”

Earlier this year, we heard SAINt JHN show out on “For The Squadron.” The single made its debut in February and has already amassed upwards of 8M streams on Spotify.

On his last LP, the Brooklyn native made tracks with names like Lil Uzi Vert, Ye, Future, DaBaby, JID, Kehlani, 6LACK, and A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie. It remains unclear who his future releases will see him collaborate with, though we hope the list is equally as star-studded.

Quotable Lyrics:

Standin’ on my money, dawg
Please, don’t get the gun involved
Ain’t nobody runnin’ off, ooh, to them basics
I can’t be no son in law, I can’t take the summer off
I make it look good and all but this is no vacation

Rich The Kid Has “No More Friends” On New Single

by

Atlanta’s own Rich the Kid is back with a new single, “No More Friends.” Fans of his work will likely recognize his fast flows and minimal beat selection with an updated flair. Moreover, the track will appear on his upcoming album, Life’s a Gamble. Also, the track comes after “Motion,” which he released jointly with the announcement that he’s inked a deal with RCA Records.

Such moves have boosted Rich’s career, who hadn’t dropped new solo music since 2021. His output that year included the short project Lucky 7 and his collaboration with Lil Wayne, Trust Fund Babies. Still, a year’s gap between releases is still consistent enough to dismiss any claims of falling off. However, it seems that the Atlanta-raised rapper has found new life with RCA, as he excitedly shared.

“They didn’t believe in me @rcarecords DID,” the 30-year-old wrote via an Instagram post. “NEW PARTNERSHIP WITH THE best labels in the world Rich Forever X RCA, thank you to my team @bystormpitts everyone who helped make this happen.”

Instrumentally, the short track takes a more psychedelic tone that the Kid’s previous output thanks to the synth tones. They have a lot of atmosphere to them, and their high pitch and fragile tone are a nice deviation from his usually minimal melodies. This track feels a little more expansive as a result, with the simple drum pattern keeping his flow and rhymes in check.

As far as the lyrical content, the “New Freezer” MC wants more money, more success, but no more friends. Much of the track is dedicated to those flexes, whether about wealth or women, and it’s mostly framed around Rich as an individual. There aren’t many references to his circle, and that omission only adds to the track’s themes.

What do you think of Rich the Kid’s latest track, “No More Friends”? Let us know in the comments below and check out the song on your preferred streaming service. You can also peep the music video and some notable lines below, and stay tuned to HNHH for the best hip-hop releases.

Quotable Lyrics

Who callin’ me? This must be the money it got to be (What?)
Big proud of me, before I sleep, I pray on my enemies
B***h, you ain’t rich, pretend to be
Got a b***h so gutter from Tennessee

NBA YoungBoy & Rich Gang Reunite For New Song, “Military”

by

NBA YoungBoy has had a relentless year. Dropping seven full-length projects throughout the course of 2022, he’s showing no signs of slowing down.

He returns today for another official link-up with Birdman’s Rich Gang on “Military.” Although the video was released on YoungBoy’s YouTube page in October, the song is now available on streaming services.

Featuring D-Rok on the braggadocios hook, the new track is another hard-hitting banger from the “Make No Sense” rapper.

The two verses from the Baton Rouge native continue his streak as one of the hottest rappers in the game. Through his melodic flows, he’s able to reflect sentimentally on his come-up and simultaneously flex the perks of his lifestyle.

He does so all while sticking to the army-inspired theme of the track, dropping creative references to the title throughout. “Did time, and fished for poles like the military / Whenever the price droppin’ low, gotta catch it / It’s hectic, it’s reckless, it’s bad in my section / That’s a new .223 with that drum on the bottom, I bought it in Texas / Havin’ ’em sticks like I come from the army,” he raps in the first verse.

Birdman allegedly wanted to sign the 23-year-old to Rich Gang in 2018. Although it was never made official, the “Stuntin’ Like My Daddy” rapper has consistently praised him for being “the next biggest superstar in the world.”

Last year, the duo teamed up to drop a 13-track joint mixtape, From The Bayou.

What do you think of the newest offering from YoungBoy? Stream it on Spotify or Apple Music down below. Afterwards, make sure to tell us your thoughts in the comments.

Quotable Lyrics:

Mama wrote his goals inside the obituary
Broke, came home tryna get some money
Still totin’ straps like the military
None of them don’t like YoungBoy
So I guess that’s why they despise me
F*ck all the rules, I’m onto you, fool
4MATIC Maybach, I call it a Minibach
Hustle, my daughter gon’ need her some Similac
What I feel? I don’t care how it turn out
I’m not worried ’bout a thing, we got plenty gats

Juice WRLD’s Estate Releases New Single, “Face 2 Face”

by

It’s now been three years since we tragically lost Juice WRLD to an overdose-induced seizure in 2019. He was only 21 years old.

Although he’s no longer with us, his estate continues to keep his legacy alive by consistently dropping new music for his fans.

The Chicago native recorded so much while he was alive. Fans have already received two posthumous albums and an array of singles.

With just one verse and a repeated hook, “Face 2 Face” is short but sweet. However, it showcases the “Robbery” rapper in familiar territory.

In his signature sing-rap flow, he expresses the difficulty of battling his demons as he tries to get some sleep. This kind of intimacy within his music is why he continues to be loved and adored by fans.

His continued willingness to never shy away from addressing topics like mental health and addiction makes his impact on this generation undeniable.

“The ship gon’ sink, can’t sail no more / I lost my receipt when I sold my soul / I lost my seat, what do I stand for? / The monsters of the deep, they take control,” he candidly sings to kick off the verse.

An accompanying video also arrives alongside the song. Directed and edited by Steve Cannon, the visuals perfectly capture the images that Juice vividly paints throughout the track.

“Face 2 Face” serves as his third official single of 2022.

Earlier this year, the deluxe version of his posthumously-released 2021 album, Fighting Demons dropped. Five additional songs were added to the original tracklist, including “My Life In A Nutshell” and the previously released “Rich And Blind.”

What do you think of Juice WRLD’s new song? Stream the new track on Spotify or Apple Music, and afterward, tell us your thoughts in the comments.

Quotable Lyrics:

Every time I go to fall asleep, these demons haunting me
Face my fears, face-to-face as we meet
Evil is grabbing me
Losing my gravity
My mind’s a bloody scene, detached from reality

Rosalía Taps Cardi B For “DESPECHÁ RMX”

by

Cardi B didn’t come through with her long-awaited sophomore album in 2022. However, she did show out on a series of collaborations with other artists, reminding the Bardi Gang that she’s still that bitch.

After finding success on titles like Kay Flock’s “Shake It” and GloRilla’s “Tomorrow 2,” the New York native is connecting with Latin artist Rosalía. The two have come together for the “DESPECHÁ RMX” on Friday (December 16).

The updated version follows the original’s appearance on the Grammy-nominated singer’s Motomami project. It marks her third studio LP and landed her a nod for Best Latin Rock or Alternative album at the upcoming ceremony.

Throughout “DESPECHÁ RMX,” Rosalía sings in Spanish before Cardi flexes her bilingual rhyming skills. “Don’t need your drama, don’t need your stress / I could forget you like uno, dos, tres,” she declares in her first verse.

“Got my own money, whole lotta M’s / Como este mambo, my money dance,” her clever lyrics continue.

As AllHipHop notes, this isn’t the first time the Invasion of Privacy hitmaker has used both English and Spanish on the same song. Previously, “I Like It” featuring J. Balvin and Bad Bunny went 11x-Platinum.

Additionally DJ Snake’s “Take Take” with Bardi, Selena Gomez, and Ozuna has been viewed over 2.3 billion times on YouTube.

Other noteworthy multilingual tracks from the mother of two include “La Modelo” with Ozuna as well as “Mi Mami” with El Alfa. Later, in 2020, she went on to work with Anitta on “Me Gusta.”

Finally, stream Rosalía’s “DESPECHÁ RMX” featuring Cardi B on Spotify or Apple Music below. Afterward, revisit the former’s Motomami album here.

Quotable Lyrics:

Don’t need your drama, don’t need your stress
I could forget you like uno, dos, tres
Got my own money, whole lotta M’s
Como este mambo, my money dance
