ScHoolboy Q & Rico Nasty Go Ballistic On “Pop”

One of the trademark formulas that ScHoolboy Q has pretty much perfected up until this point is delivery gritty bangers. Just listen to tracks like “Gangsta” and “The Purge,” for example and you will see what we mean. BLUE LIPS has some variations of that style as well across the record. “Pop,” with its heavy percussion and nasty guitar riffs, are perfect complements to ScHoolboy Q and Rico Nasty’s aggressive lyrics and cadence.

When it comes to a majority of rap albums, you are almost always looking for a strong opener to reel you in. In essence, it sets up the rest of the listening experience. “Pop” passes with flying colors in that department, as Q and Rico have great chemistry on this cut. It in its simplest form, this song is all about violence and sending warning shots to anyone trying to step up to you.

Listen To “Pop” By ScHoolboy Q & Rico Nasty

While Rico does deliver a zany performance, her verse would have been even better if it was a tad longer. “I ain’t poppin’ my s***, I keep a spear / I’m fresh as a mint, I’m hard as cement / You can’t leave a dent, demolish him, finish him.” It has so much potential based on these opening lines, but for the amount of time she had, she did make the most of it. ScHoolboy Q recently ranked this as his best album in a series of tweets, and we might have to agree with him, even if it is too early to say.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new song, “Pop,” by ScHoolboy Q and Rico Nasty? Is this the best track from BLUE LIPS, why or why not? What is your favorite element of the song and why? Is this the album of the year so far, why or why not? Who had the stronger performance? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.

Quotable Lyrics:

I probably shouldn’t walk, where I walk, n****

Yeah (Got me f****d up, look)
I’m snatching n****s wave caps off, gang tats off
F*** yo’ set, hat get soakеd

Pharrell Williams & Miley Cyrus Team Up For “Doctor (Work It Out)”

While we’re only a few months into 2024, it’s already been a wildly successful year for Miley Cyrus. The multi-hyphenate secured her first two Grammy Awards last month for her hit song “Flowers,” which was honored as Record of the Year as well as Best Pop Solo Performance of 2023. Her LP Endless Summer Vacation was also nominated for various awards.

Now, the performer is back with yet another pop anthem, this time in collaboration with hip-hop and R&B mainstay Pharrell Williams. The duo dropped off their new single “Doctor (Work It Out)” late last week, and it’s already received a tremendous amount of praise from fans.

Miley Cyrus & Pharrell Revive Bangerz Era Track

At the time of writing, the song is in the top 10 of the U.S. iTunes chart. It’s also trending on YouTube, Spotify and more. It features powerful vocals and fun adlibs from Miley, and groovy, upbeat production from Pharrell. While Pharrell doesn’t contribute to the track vocally, fans can agree that his touch is woven throughout, and embodies his signature sound. The release is also accompanied by a playful accompanying music video, which sees Miley channel her inner Tina Turner, dancing along to the catchy single.

Fans first got a glimpse at the unedited version of “Doctor (Work It Out)” back in 2017. It was originally written amid Miley’s Bangerz era, and though various other Pharrell-produced tracks made the cut, got set aside. Pharrell teased the official release in January of this year at the Louis Vuitton Men’s Fall-Winter 2024 Collection event in Paris. What do you think of Pharrell and Miley Cyrus’ new song? Will you be adding “Doctor (Work It Out)” to your playlist? Do you think they should collaborate again in the future? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Quotable Lyrics:

I could be your doctor
And I could be your nurse

Tago’s “D.A.M.N” Is A Perfect Introductory Track To His Music

At the start of 2024 we started a new segment here at HNHH where we track down new talent hip-hop and/or adjacent artists and compile about three to four of them. We then give you a quick synopsis about them and the song that we feel is a great way to introduce them. We will have another listicle of that coming in a few weeks for March. But for this artist, we have to give credit to AllHipHop for this hidden gem. Today, Tago makes his website premiere with a new single called “D.A.M.N.” Tago hails from Dallas, Texas and his style is so colorful.

That is apparent from the track, but also its creatively shot music video. Tago brings a smooth and confident tone to the song. Which makes sense considering what the main message is for this cut. According to AllHipHop, “D.A.M.N.” is an acronym that stands for “Determined and Motivated N****.”

Listen To “D.A.M.N.” By Tago

One quote that Tago lives by when it comes to the effects that music has had on him is one that many listeners can relate to. “Music speaks to the soul and makes you want to move and dance.” “D.A.M.N” will certainly have you doing that with its bouncy and bright instrumental. Be sure to give Tago a try above.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single, “D.A.M.N.,” by Tago? Is this one of his best tracks ever, why or why not? What is your favorite element of the song and why?

Marv Won, Fatt Father, & Elzhi Rap With Conviction On “Measuring Stick”

The thing about rappers who come from areas of steel mills and industrial factories is that you know you are going to get music that embodies that lifestyle. Aggressive and gritty hip-hop gives listeners a sense of power to conquer anything life throws at them. Which makes sense, considering how tough being a blue-collar worker can be on a day-to-day basis. One artist in this hardcore hip-hop lane that comes across as authentic is Marv Won. The Detroit native is tough as nails anytime he hops on a beat. Today, we are covering Marv Won’s collaboration with Fatt Father and Elzhi called “Measuring Stick.”

This is a braggadocious track about being at the top of the rap game and being the example of greatness everyone else needs to meet. Marv Won and Fatt Father work together quite often and do so with ease. The reason for that is because both are in a rap posse called Fat Killahz. It consists of them and Bang Belushi, as well as King Gordy.

Tommy Richman, Paco, & Jonah Roy Collide For Spooky “GHOULS N GHOSTS”

While we specialize in covering artists that in hip-hop and R&B, it is always a fun time covering talents that blur the lines between the two. Case and point, Tommy Richman. He is a resident of Virginia and he really is a unique case. However, he embraces the fact that he does not pigeonhole himself to one genre. In a chat with Lyrical Lemonade, he explains how he likes to create music. “Honestly man, I just try to make cool s*** for people but more so for me. It’s not about the gimmicks or cliches for me.”

Tommy continues, “I wanna make stuff that’s palatable and listenable but also just s*** I like and am interested in.” That is when the interviewer dug a little deeper and questioned him about how he wants the listener to feel. “I personally think this is a silly question. I don’t really care what people think about it. People can feel however they want – if they think it’s cool then great and if they don’t, f*** it!”

Listen To “GHOULS N GHOSTS” By Tommy Richman, Paco, & Jonah Roy

The multi-talent goes on, “I make the music that I feel and connect with and if it connects with someone else, then great.” That is the case for his new song “GHOULS N GHOSTS” with a feature from Paco and production from Jonah Roy. It seems its connecting with listeners as each performer fits nicely over the Luigi’s Mansion-esque beat. The song has a similar melody that you might hear on a Brent Faiyaz song. Which makes sense considering Tommy had some placements on his recent LP.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single, “GHOULS N GHOSTS,” by Tommy Richman, Paco, and Jonah Roy? Is this one of the best tracks Tommy has ever made, why or why not?

Stove God Cooks Is Stirring Up Some Heat On “Carbone” With Stoupe

A few weeks ago we were thoroughly impressed with Stove God Cooks’ single, “Melo Chip and a Brick.” The Babygrande affiliate rapped with conviction over a killer Conductor Williams with blaring horns. Our opinions on the track have been validated since then, as the track has crawled its way into the Syrcause spitter’s top five most popular songs on Spotify. Now, Stove God Cooks is back to feed us once again with a record called “Carbone.”

The producer tag teaming this effort with him this time is Stoupe. He too is from the Midwest, being a resident of Pennsylvania. The underground beat maker brings an instrumental that is a little more easy-going than “Melo Chip and a Brick.” However, it still sounds great in its simplicity.

Listen To “Carbone” By Stove God Cooks & Stoupe

“Carbone” sees Stove God Cooks absolutely cheffing up a hot dish of confidence with a side of swagger.They say they gettin’ money but they don’t look like I do (Don’t look like I do) / Ooh, I do (Woo), have ’em wrappin’ your head like Badu (Brr).” His flows on this track are excellent drawing out his “o’s” on the chorus while annunciating every word on the verse. You cannot ask for much more than for him to drop a new album!

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single, “Carbone,” by Stove God Cooks and Stoupe? Is this the better of the two tracks that he has released this year, why or why not? What is your favorite element of the song and why? Is about time for Stove God to drop a new project sometime this year?

Young boy hop out on you, shoot your mama (Brr)

ScHoolboy Q & Ab-Soul Have A Fan-Favorite With “Foux”

ScHoolboy Q has finally given us BLUE LIPS and we are very pleased to say that it has delivered and then some. The California rapper almost always seems to be at his peak when he experiments with instrumentals, cadences, lyrics, and flows. Q does that throughout the duration of the LP and you can definitely tell five years were needed to craft this body of work. While it may not be for everyone, there is no doubt that this project was worth the wait. One highlight we had to cover is ScHoolboy Q and Ab-Soul’s “Foux.”

This one of the more introspective cuts here, as it sees each TDE talent dealing with internal struggles. Q’s hook is infectious but also quite gloomy. He quickly raps over the scattering drum patterns, howling background vocals, and somber piano keys. Incredibly, outside of some Black Hippy cuts, this the first time we have heard Q and Ab-Soul on a song together since 2012 with “Druggys Wit H**s Again.”

Listen To “Foux” By ScHoolboy Q & Ab-Soul

In fact, ScHoolboy references the first of those two songs, “Druggy’s Wit H**s.” That landed on his debut, Setbacks, and you can hear the callback on the bridge. Ab-Soul does not disappoint either. “Shot for the moon, now I need my gat
Cocaine is a hell of a drug / And my year been Heaven above / But ’nuff is just never enough / I’m stuck when I should be levelin’ up
.”

What are your thoughts on this brand-new song, “Foux,” by ScHoolboy Q? Is this the best track from BLUE LIPS, why or why not? What is your favorite element of the song and why?

I done ran out of faith and it be like that (Be like that)
Hid many times and it be like that (Be like that)

Luh Tyler Is Cool, Calm, & Collected On “Bad B****”

Tallahassee, Florida rapper Luh Tyler is leveling up every week it seems. The now 18-year-old is back with a solo release called “Bad B****” and it features him sliding over a more trap-heavy instrumental. His smooth yet raspy, low-key flow is on full display and he sounds confident as always. “Bad B****” is Luh Tyler’s first track by himself this year, but he plenty of collabs under his belt already.

For 2024, you can find him on BabyDrill’s ScoreGod, 310babii’s nights and weekends, and the effervescent Tia Corine’s Almost There. On top of the guest spots, Luh Tyler is also going to be participating in one of the biggest music festivals of the year.

21 Lil Harold & BigXthaPlug Are Becoming Stars On “Gin & Juice”

21 Lil Harold & BigXthaPlug have been two of the most entertaining up-and-comers as of late. Both borrow from their respective corners of Southern hip-hop. Lil Harold grew up in Atlanta and is a longtime friend of 21 Savage. Which makes sense, considering their stage names are the same and he utilizes the “P***y” adlib quite often with a slightly different delivery. As for BigX, he hails from Dallas, Texas. The 25-year-old possesses one of the best mic presences in modern-day rap with his deep and husky cadence.

Both also have their fair share of bangers and big-time collaborations. Lil Harold had some background vocals on Savage’s third studio album, american dream, earlier this year. You can find him on “dangerous” and “letter to my brudda.” He also had a fantastic single with JID not too long ago. Furthermore, he will be joining Savage, JID, and Nardo Wick for The American Dream Tour that kicks off in May. BigX had a big 2023 with the release of two projects, THE BIGGEST and AMAR. Those saw him work alongside Offset, Sauce Walka, Finesse2tymes and more.

Now, these two soon-to-be-stars are teaming up for the first time on “Gin & Juice.” However, this one shares no similarities to Snoop Dogg’s classic. The beat on this song slaps hard with the soulful vocal samples that return every now and again. The bass is resonant, and the string sections add a big budget feel to everything. Both rappers deliver sticky flows as well and it all comes together. Be sure to check this one out ASAP.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single, “Gin & Juice,” by 21 Lil Harold and BigXthaPlug? Is this better than “Sundown” with JID, why or why not?

DaeMoney Nabs LUCKI & Veeze For Dreamy “JAPANESE DENIM”

Veeze and LUCKI have been tearing things up lately in the rap game. Their idiosyncratic and mumbly styles have captivated fans as their legends continue to grow. However, there is another kid on the block that is starting to earn his stripes similar to these two. That artist goes by DaeMoney and like Veeze, he also hails from the blue-collar city of Detroit. Today, he makes his debut on the site and what better way than to do it by collaborating with the aforementioned stars. Additionally, DaeMoney’s “JAPANESE DENIM” lands on his new album.

This is not the first time that Dae and Veeze have worked together.

If you are not familiar, Japenese-stitched denim is very expensive due to the way its made on top of the high-end materials used.
