EST Gee Pays An Emotional Tribute To A Late Friend On “RIP Lu Mike”

December 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Louisville, Kentucky’s uber aggressive MC, EST Gee, is toning things down a bit for this new release, “RIP LU MIKE.” Based on the title alone, you know it’s going to be a more somber and emotional listen. It turns out to be just that, as the C.M.G. artist pays tribute to his late friend, who according to the lyrics, took his own life. It’s a painful listen that isn’t for the faint of heart. “RIP Lu Mike, took his own life, drawin’ down on his opponent / They eyes was closed, so they wouldn’t know, they just heard the four nick throwin’ /
Even after he fell from shootin’ himself, you scared to walk down on him.”

The production on the track, courtesy of FOREVEROLLING and Marko Lenz, matches the tone to perfection. It’s sad, eerie, and beautiful all at the same time. The violin sections really sell it for us. For EST Gee, this is one of now four singles. “NEVER NEED” with Selfpaid Savage hit in August. Then, “Go” and “The Streets” were close behind in November. All of these including “RIP LU MIKE” are slated to land on his next project that’s in the works, I Ain’t Feeling You. For now, though, check out the gut-wrenching and hard-hitting new cut below.

“RIP Lu Mike” – EST Gee

Quotable Lyrics:

Press, press, press, press, press, get the extras (Know that ain’t alright)
Five star powder cowboy Dak Prescott (Know that ain’t alright)
Lion heart, I’m around for it when it’s pressure (Know that ain’t alright)
I don’t respect, no n**** gettin’ tipped off from detectives (Know that ain’t alright)
Call, sell it quickly, you don’t wanna die, right? (Know that ain’t alright)
It’s killers on the way to your place to get your mind right (Know that ain’t alright)

Ne-Yo Drops Off Seductive Single “Show Me”

December 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Ne-Yo is keeping it classy and not too dirty on his latest effort, “Show Me.” This is the Arkansas singer-songwriter extraordinaire’s first solo single since “2 Million Secrets” back in June of this year. Whether or not we are in the midst of an album rollout remains to be seen. However, fans are more than ecstatic about this new release. “This is the Neyo I remember it’s giving early early 2000” one fan comments under the music video post. “This song is very intimate. It’s not too sexual. The lyrics are perfect for what the video explains. Good job Ne-Yo for keeping it clean,” another applauds.

“Show Me” finds Ne-Yo entranced by a woman he meets at a club. She’s giving him attention, making herself available, and showing all the right signs. He then invites her back to his pad for a sensual and passionate evening, and things get beautifully romantic between them. As that one fan says, the visual perfectly tells the story in the song, making it that much more impactful. It’s got all of the makings of being another hit for Ne-Yo, which is highly commendable given how long and how much he’s seen in this industry. His run in the 2000s to early 2010s was nothing short of amazing, with every album having multiple smash singles. Even into the 2020s decade, Ne-Yo hasn’t really lost much of his touch and “Show Me” is an example of that.

“Show Me” – Ne-Yo

Quotable Lyrics:

Baby, them shoes, them clothes
All those completely optional
Totally optional
Baby, we can small talk
Tell me ’bout yourself as I pour this drink
But I think we both know why you here

KSI Flips The Script On Fans With Somber “Dirty”

December 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

UK multi-talent known on the internet as KSI, has built quite an impervious empire. His YouTube channels, both solo and with the Sidemen, are some of the most subscribed to on the platform. Additionally, him and Logan Paul have their sports hydration drink brand PRIME and their kid’s food subset, Lunchly. Although, those ventures do have the greatest reputation, especially as of late. His music career has also seen its fair share of setbacks as well, with listeners cracking jokes and making memes out of it. That was especially the case with “Thick Of It,” his 2024 collab with Trippie Redd. Many eviscerated it for the poor rapping, it’s cutesy instrumental, and lack of song structure.

However, we feel that KSI will quiet a lot of the negativity with this latest single, “Dirty.” Fans have been praising it nonstop already thanks to its severe style switch up across multiple areas. He’s ditching the rapping for non-auto-tune singing (which goes over better than expected) and the messaging, theme, and tone is much more somber. It’s about the dangers and unexpected things love can do to a person and the track includes some uncredited female vocals that give it a nice point of view from both genders. Speaking of them, that’s another thing that listeners can’t stop discussing. A lot of folks are saying its actually Billie Eilish and we can certainly hear the similarities in the vocals. Genius says its unused recordings from the American bedroom pop star, but nothing has been confirmed. Regardless, it’s a W from KSI and we encourage you to give it a chance.

“Dirty” – KSI

Quotable Lyrics:

I’ve got plenty dirty laundry here, it won’t disappear
Made some bad decisions, now I wanna hide away
Heavy, I can feel the fear, Cupid’s getting bored in here
Sometimes wanna shed a tear, jumped off with no landing gear

41 Connects With Skilla Baby For Blistering “Split” Single

December 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

You may think the drill scene is dominated by one or two major names. However, we would like to introduce you to 41, if you haven’t heard them already. The Brooklyn trio consisting of Kyle Richh, TaTa, and Jenn Carter has been on a tear this year dropping party banger after party banger. 2023 was when they really broke through, thanks to their hit single “Bent.” That landed on their second project from that 12 month stretch, 41 World: Not The Album. It’s probably their most important song of their careers so far, as it’s gotten them recognition from hip-hop’s biggest stars. Additionally, a lot of collaborations have been sparked because of it, with Cash Cobain, NLE Choppa, Fivio Foreign, and Lola Brooke being a few of them.

Also, aiding their ever-flourishing success is the fact that the group’s members are dropping solo material. In doing so, they are following the footsteps of hip-hop’s most legendary formations like Migos, OutKast, and more. That’s only going to increase their exposure and continue to earn them more and more respect amongst their peers and fans. This weekend though, Kyle, Jenn, and TaTa are reuniting for their latest single, “Split.” It also brings on Detroit’s Skilla Baby, who has also been tearing it up. Typically, a drill beat would be the template, but in this case, it’s more a Midwest trap beat. It allows for Skilla Baby to fit more comfortably into the equation, but 41 doesn’t fall behind. Their fiery and aggressive flows and bars match the energy of all of the other elements in tow. Check out “Split” with the link below.

Ian Is Ditching The Negativity On “No Way”

December 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Dallas rapper ian seemingly came out of nowhere in 2024. His debut mixtape, Valedictorian, churned some critics stomachs, but also turned some heads. He likes to borrow from artists like Chief Keef and Future, while putting a bit of a cloud rap aesthetic over it. Then, just a few months later, he would go on to drop his debut album, Goodbye Horses. This effort once again got some similar response from the in-depth analyzers, but his cult following remains strong. This sudden success has led to some backlash from his contemporaries as well, especially Tyler, The Creator. Love him or hate him, he’s been having a banner year, and it’s led to some major collaborations, tours, and respectable numbers on streaming.

But despite all of that, and with 2024 coming to a close, you would think ian would be fine just moving into 2025. But no, he’s come back again this weekend with some new material. This time, it’s a new track called “No Way.” Based on a recent post to his Instagram announcing a part two to his ian US tour, this cut seems to be more of a loosie rather than a single. However, we feel it’s one of his best songs to date. The topical focus on separating yourself from badgering haters while winning in the process is always going to hit home. It’s a relatable listen and the production sounds much more polished and put together compared to some of his material from earlier this year. Go check it out with the link below.

“No Way – Ian

Quotable Lyrics:

S*** gettin’ closer and I’m still runnin’
I’m tryna force it, but I just can’t
Still tryna laugh when this s*** not funny
Nothin’ is normal, but that’s okay
I’m movin’ slow, gettin’ fast-a** money
Ran out of hope, but the bag kept comin’

Tory Lanez Shares His Most Personal & Heartbreaking Track To Date In The “Lost Tapes” Series

December 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Tory Lanez is creating some discourse around his recent verse on DDG’s new single “HANDLING BUSINESS.” On it, he raps about his one regret on the night of the Megan Thee Stallion shooting. “The only one thing I regret on that night, is jumping up outta the pool with Kylie.” There he’s speaking about the video that was going around the internet of him taking a dip with Megan and Kylie Jenner. Then, he shouts out Drake and backs him amid all of his issues. They used to be sworn enemies, but things have been smoothed out over time. “I be up praying and waiting for the day that n****s come for me the way they did Drizzy / I got the card in the wallet, and big brodie’s problems are my problems, so f*** how you feelin’ about it / Brodie gone stand on his own, but 2024, it ain’t no fair ones in Toronto.”

But this isn’t the only release from him this weekend that’s getting people’s attention. Once again, Tory Lanez has come back with more “Lost Tapes.” This week’s edition consists of “Honest,” a hookup related cut from 2019, and “Losing Friends,” a recording from 2018. If you have been following him for a while, or did heavily in 2018, the lyrics may hit a little harder for you. That year, Lanez had lost five friends in various ways with just four months to go. On the pre-chorus, he sounds like he’s beginning to tear up while rapping with a lot of passion and emotion. You can check both of them out with the links below.

“Honest (2019)” & “Losing Friends (2018)” – Tory Lanez

Quotable Lyrics From “Losing Friends (2018)”:

Yesterday, my n**** E committed suicide
Sometimes I realize in this world, this s*** is do or die
See one of my realest n****s, meet up and barely take no pictures
Where the f*** was I when you took your life, man, like, I should’ve been with you
And I know we came from [?] but we kept it G, though
Used to pick me up from my apartment, right there on [Lisa?]

Polo G Shows Sensitive Side With New Single “Thug Memorials”

December 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Polo G has been through a lot. You can hear it in his voice, you can decipher it in his lyrics. He doesn’t attempt to hide his experiences, which is why fans connect with him so deeply. The rapper was caught up in legal troubles as recently as this week. Polo G’s music has always been where he excels, though, and “Thug Memorials” is the latest testament. The single sees the rapper wax poetic on those he’s lost over the years, courtesy of a classic R. Kelly sample.

Polo G delves right in with the first voice. The rapper details how much emotional pain he felt when he attended a friend’s funeral. The description of the scene is heartbreaking, and the musical backdrop embellishes it even further. “I was so lost for words, couldn’t even cry up at your funeral,” Polo G spits. “I come from that corner where the hustlers trap and shooters shoot. Straight-eights and Scat Packs, they ain’t slidin’ in no Subaru.” It’s an economic couplet, conveying not only the loss but sense of belonging that has afflicted both him and his late friends. “Thug Memorials” is Polo G at his most sincere, and therefore his finest.

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.

Polo G Delves Into The Loss Of A Close Friend

Took a lot of losses right where me and all my guys hung
Opps talkin’ sh*t, that left my pride stung, uh

Rio Da Yung Og Drops A Minimal Banger With “RIO FREE” Single

December 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Rio Da Yung Og is not an artist with a tremendous amount of range. He doesn’t genre hop or push boundaries by any means. He makes hard-hitting trap music and he does it well. Rio Da Yung Og is precisely what you think he is, and when he hits, he hits hard. “RIO FREE” is a prime example. The new song is short, simple and extremely catchy. It sees the rapper hop on a trunk-knocking instrumental and spit bars about how great he is. It’s easy to get caught up in the fun.

Rio Da Yung Og’s bars are fun if not especially profound. They have a specificity to them that helps them to stand out from the bars written by Rio’s peers. “He used to be the brick man, he doin’ burpees now, I ain’t never cook the dope, C learned me how,” he spits. “I wake up and go get me some chicken like Thursday chow.” There’s personality bleeding through the speakers. The instrumental isn’t anything that fans haven’t heard before, but the Wayne beat is solid and consistent. Rio Da Yung Og is not reinventing the wheel here, but he’s giving fans a very entertaining wheel.

Rio Da Yung Og Gives Fans Exactly What They Want

Quotable Lyrics:

Why would I buy a Hellcat and I got Brabus money?
I told bro go to Flint and get a coffin for me
He came back with a four of Act’, it started talkin’ to me
We got Pai, Quagen, Tris, and some green poured

Offset Returns With His First Solo Track In Over A Year With “Swing My Way”

December 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

2024 for Offset has been dominated by his strenuous relationship/falling out with Cardi B. Overall, it’s been very difficult to see them tear each other down so ruthlessly. But the former Migos rapper is looking to move past all of that by dropping some new music. It’s actually a bit of special release for the Georgia superstar, as “Swing My Way” is here as an early birthday gift to himself and his fans. He will be turning 33 tomorrow, December 14. On this record, Offset is delivering his effortless flow that he’s become known for since dropping music professionally over a decade ago.

Turbo is on production for this single and its honestly a perfect match for what he like to tackle. A lot of fans are saying that this would have been a fire Gunna collab. However, we can appreciate Offset riding solo on this one because he sounds great. Audiences agree, with some even dubbing this as his best single in a while. It feels like it could be a lead-off cut for an upcoming album, something that he’s been teasing since dropping SET IT OFF last year. There have been rumors that it will be named after his government name, Kiari. However, nothing has been truly set in stone just yet. For now, check out “Swing My Way” and its music video which stars model, Anok Yai.

“Swing My Way” – Offset

Quotable Lyrics:

I’m really one of them ones (One of them)
I’m really havin’ my motion (Motion)
You dig, I pull up and give you some funds (I’ll give you some funds)
Throw me that p*ssy, I knock out the park like my name Barry Bonds (Barry Bonds)
Pretty lil’ lady, her body look crazy, don’t know where she from (Where?)
Hopped out fresh out the coupe (Skrrt)
