Big Hit & Hit-Boy Are “Bigger Than Life” On Soulful New Single

In May 2023, Big Hit, father of producer Hit-Boy, was released from prison after a nine-year sentence. Once he came home, he immediately got back in the studio. His first album, The Truth Is In My Eyes, was a collaborative effort with his son. In January 2024, he released Paisley Dreams, a joint album with legendary Compton rapper The Game. Following that, he got to do a joint album with both Hit-Boy and the iconic Alchemist. Unfortunately, Big Hit went back to jail in October. It is unclear what for. In the meantime, his son is releasing new music on his behalf.

“Bigger Than Life” is one of the 700 songs Hit-Boy’s father recorded in the last year and a half. The beat is soulful, in line with some of the production that Hit-Boy gave Nas during their run. He brings a West Coast slant to it all, with a smooth flow that sounds like something from a previous era of California hip-hop. Hit-Boy, who has been rapping more often recently, also sounds at home over the beat. There was a time where he never stepped from behind the boards. Those days seem to be long gone. The accompanying video is also shot like an old-school music video, rapping next to a lowrider and the video itself being shot on film. Hit-Boy raps his verse in a barber shop, shot in black and white. The track ends with old home videos of Hit-Boy, while his father delivers a message. Check out “Bigger Than Life” below.

Big Hit & Hit-Boy – Bigger Than Life

Quotable Lyrics:

I’m a monarch or emperor, slash gangster I’m pimpin’
F**k all that simpin’, imma push it or ship it
When it touch down, I break it down and I track it with census
I ain’t doing a Michael Jackson, moonwalkin’ or slippin’
I’m runnin’ down the currency, in an emergency
It’s usually a burglary or probably a murder scene
Listen lil’ homie, if you know me, you owe me
In the hole, f***in’ with brodies, know most of my foes is cronies

Quavo Continues To Experiment With Country On Teddy Swims & Luke Bryan-Assisted “Georgia Ways”

Throughout his career, Quavo has always been viewed as the most versatile of his now former rap group, Migos. We have seen how effortless it is for him to crossover into other genres. Pop is one that he most frequents. Collabs with Liam Payne, Justin Bieber, Halsey, Bebe Rexha, and more are just a few examples. But lately, the Georgia MC and singer has been pushing his limits and going through a more intense creative renaissance overall. The interpolation of Lenny Kravitz’s “Fly Away” counts, but it’s just the tip of the iceberg.

Quavo has been showing love to the country scene, with “Tough” featuring Lana Del Rey being the first example back in July. When we saw this collab, we didn’t know what to expect. However, it went over really well and it’s actually his most popular song on Spotify right now with over 175 million streams. Now, he’s diving even deeper into the roots of the genre with this new single, “Georgia Ways.” The music video of him and the songs guests– Luke Bryan and Teddy Swims– fishing in the Georgia backcountry accurately describes the vibe of it. Each of their verses hear them highlight the things they remember/love most about their Georgia roots. It’s a state anthem for sure and it could be another future streaming darling for Quavo.

“Georgia Ways” – Quavo, Teddy Swims, & Luke Bryan

Quotable Lyrics:

Let me tell you a lil’ story ’bout Uncle George (George)
Taught me how to get it out the Georgia mud (Georgia mud)
Standin’ on the porch with a big ol’ gun (Baow)
Better not step on the driveway
Georgia boys pullin’ out sideways (Georgia)
In the south we ball, how about them Dawgs?

Skepta Is The “Alpha” And The “Omega” On Lex Luger-Produced Single

It’s almost been a full year since UK grime icon Skepta announced his next album, Knife and Fork. It will be his sixth studio effort, and first rap tape since his 2020 joint effort with Chip and Young Adz, Insomnia. In terms of solo bodies of work, we got our last serving in the genre from him in 2019 with Ignorance is Bliss. He’s been doing some incredible work in the house space with some spare loosies. But the time is near for Big Smoke, and we cannot wait. Unfortunately, a release date remains hidden from us. It’s got us feeling we will receive the LP sometime early next year.

But of course, we are hoping it arrives before 2024’s end, as there are still a few weeks remaining. He’s been keeping fans fed with four and potentially five promotional singles since the title reveal, though. “Jangrova” with Idris Elba, Tribal Mark, and ODUMODUBLVCK got things started. “Gas Me Up (Diligent),” “Tony Montana,” “Miss Independent,” and “Why Lie?” with Flo Milli then followed suit. All of that brings us to “Alpha Omega,” a big boss cut with some terrific production from one of the trap legends, Lex Luger. If you know your Greek alphabet, alpha is the first letter and omega is the last. He’s essentially letting everyone know that he was here from the start and will be at the end thanks to his work ethic and hunger to be number one.

“Alpha Omega” – Skepta & Lex Luger

Quotable Lyrics:

I’m the Alpha and the Omega, the star player
You’re a liar, big capper, a pump faker
Seen you around, but you’re never involved, a spectator
Can’t you see the Spirit of Ecstasy? This ain’t a Bentayga (Huh?)
Nah, how we’re livin’? I’m never quittin’ (Woo)

Roddy Ricch & Terrace Martin Will Blow You Away With “Lonely Road”

Roddy Ricch has some fans questioning just what the heck is going on right now. Today, the California rapper was supposed to deliver his long-awaited third studio album, THE NAVY ALBUM. However, that is not the case, as instead he let fans know across his social media platforms that it will be ready by 2025. “THE NAVY ALBUM 🐺 2025.” There was additional explanation as to why this is now the case, but Apple Music says it will be out on February 21. The project is going to contain 16 tracks, and interestingly, “911” is not listed as one of the singles.

Instead, “Survivor’s Remorse” and “Lonely Road” with producer Terrace Martin are the only certified inclusions. The latter is essentially an apology for the album not arriving today, but it’s much more than a consolation prize. In fact, we feel this could be Roddy Ricch’s best song yet. This future closing track hears him continue on similar themes from “Survivor’s Remorse” about his growth and struggles. However, instead of feeling uneasy at times, he’s thankful for the obstacles he’s gone through. Turbo also has his imprints on this cut, but it’s not what you traditionally get from him. Roddy expressively and passionately spits over a drum-less beat with Martin absolutely killing with the saxophone. It blew us away and we feel it will do the same to you.

Quotable Lyrics:

Been a whole lot of choices, I been hearin’ Satan

Been on a lonely road so long (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Still tryna find my way back home (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Doggy, these streets got me scarred (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Streets got a n**** wondering, when will my day come?

Lil Baby Is Going To Reach The End Zone No Matter What On “Touchdown”

Lil Baby is naming his next album, WHAM, which stands for Who Hard As Me. With a title like that, fans should expect some extremely braggadocious and confident trap bangers. However, it could be more than just a collection of those. There could also be a nice mixture of themes that still tie into what Baby is shooting for. On his latest single, “Touchdown,” the Atlanta native is rapping with a hunger and tenacity that has frankly been missing from him his sound for a little bit. Of course, he’s got a different mindset now, as he’s one of the biggest MCs in the game despite the recent vibe around his music.

He’s not going to be dropping tracks like “Freestyle” very often, as that era was about him trying to prove himself. But in that same breath, he does sort of have pressure on him right now. Generally speaking, folks feel his quality has been slipping since the release of his Lil Durk collab tape, The Voice of the Heroes. So, with songs like “Touchdown,” which has a real go-getter’s mentality, it’s going to be critical for Baby to have tracks in this vein. It’s a simple record in terms of what of it’s trying to do, but he just sounds livelier on the dark Wheezy production. It could take some a while to come back around, but this a solid return to form for Lil Baby, all things considered.

ASAP Rocky And Hanumankind Barrel Through The “Big Dawgs (Remix)”

Hanumankind was one of the surprise success stories of 2024. His single “Big Dawgs” burst onto the scene in July, and quickly became one of the year’s biggest bangers. It peaked at number five on the hip hop charts, and number 23 on the Billboard Hot 100. Hanumankind has added another honor to his “Big Dawgs” rein by getting ASAP Rocky for the remix. The song features the same blistering verses from the likes of Hanumankind and Kalmi, but Rocky comes through and skates in predictably slick fashion.

ASAP Rocky kicks things off on the “Big Dawgs (Remix).” The superstar rapper dishes out bars about his success and his superiority over his musical peers. “Member I was young and broke,” Rocky raps. “Holes in all our clothes like some honeycombs. More foes than mama drove… Crackheads by the corner store. Bakin’ soda by the stove.” Hanumankind comes in on the second verse, and the unexpected pleasure of the song is getting hear him and ASAP Rocky trade bars back and forth. The rappers display a surprising amount of chemistry on the song. It’s safe to say this remix will bring even more attention to this stellar single.

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.

Valee & Surf Gang Team Up For “Why Not” Ahead Of Collaborative Project

Valee and Surf Gang have teamed up for a new single, “Why Not,” ahead of their upcoming collaborative project, Grey Sky London, which will be dropping later this month. Evilgiane and NikeTech handled the production of the new single. Fans in the YouTube comments appear to be loving the track. “Best beat ive heard in a long ahhh time,” one user wrote. Another added: “I pretty much only listen to surf gang now.”

In addition to “Why Not,” Grey Sky London will feature a total of five songs. They also include “Up Here,” “Hi Hater Maino,” “Elbow,” and “By da Way.” The project marks one of numerous collaborations Surf Gang has put together as of late, following Jack & the Beanstalk with Lucy, Hard Copy with Bbyafricka, and Church & Surf with Durkalini.

Kenny Muney Recruits Key Glock For Laid-Back Track “Paper Route”

It’s already been a good year for Kenny Muney fans. The Memphis rapper unleashed his album The Blue Seasons back in March, followed by various singles. Now, he’s preparing to deliver a new edition of the project, The Blue Seasons Super Deluxe. It’s scheduled to drop tomorrow (December 6) and will feature an impressive 12 new tracks.

To get listeners ready for what’s to come, however, Kenny has dropped off a new music video for his song “Paper Route” featuring fellow Tennessee native Key Glock. The laid-back track features boastful bars about being “married to the money.” The simplistic music video shows the two artists flaunting their whips, in the studio, and more. This isn’t the first video supporters have seen from Kenny Muney in recent weeks, as he also dropped videos to accompany “Jacuzzi On The Roof” and “I Ain’t Roddy” late last month. Both of those songs are also expected to appear on The Blue Seasons Super Deluxe.

The release of Kenny Muney’s new music video comes after he called out Ralo and DJ Akademiks in October over Young Dolph. He accused them of using the trial of his late friend and collaborator’s alleged killers as clickbait. “Quit speaking on situations wit them folks on the other side cause it ain’t a game!!” he wrote at the time. “If anybody know @youngdolph he don’t give a damn what nobody else f*ckin wit who let my n***a rest!!” Ralo later confirmed that they’d worked things out, admitting that Kenny Muney was right.

Ghais Guevara Is Down “4L” On Outstanding New Single

If his recent singles – including “Flowers,” “Leprosy,” and “Camera Shy” – are anything to go by, then Ghais Guevara will drop one of 2025’s best albums very soon. Moreover, his next project Goyard Ibn Said continues this persona and releases on January 24 of next year. The Philly-based rapper and producer just solidified his upcoming LP’s greatness with another track drop: “4L.” It’s a bouncy, progressive, exciting, and pretty conflicted banger with some amazing sample flips and instrumental additions.

Also, it certainly helps that Ghais Guevara’s witty charisma and compelling turns of phrase make the rapping display on “4L” an absolute treat. The song is kind of conflicted, as mentions of men cowering in darkness and of sin-loving honor roll girlies seem to point to primal urges clashing with present realities. It’s all a tad vague, but these lyrical mentions are certainly evocative and work well with the rambunctious instrumental. Also, this is nothing new for Goyard. His condemnations of political and economic systems pair with his more grounded and quotidian perspective as a hip-hop head, resulting in timelessly resistant anthems.

What’s most impressive about “4L” and the other Goyard Ibn Said singles, though, is just how much Ghais Guevara seems to have improved his songwriting chops and the complementary elements of his music. There was definitely more controlled chaos in his earlier work like BlackBolshevik and There Will Be No Super-Slave, and while we aren’t ruling the possibility of that out for his next album, this refinement and focus doesn’t compromise on talent, skill, message, or ethos.

Ghais Guevara’s “4L”

Quotable Lyrics
All that glory don’t mean nothing, though we took it on the chin,
‘Til the gravity from tension starts to cave us both in,
We was tripping and relapsing, we fell victim to the passion,
Stay provoking me with rhapsodies, you about to make it happen

Lefty Gunplay & Hitta J3 Capitalize On Their Nods From Kendrick Lamar With “Stoopid”

It’s a West Coast takeover on “Stoopid,” one of Lefty Gunplay’s newest tracks. It’s off his most recent project, Most Valuable Gangbanger, which is his fourth tape of 2024. He’s quickly become a prolific artist after getting his start professionally last year. By the way, all of those tapes we mentioned are his first four of his career. That hard work has been paying off for the California rapper, as he landed a big-time feature that will carry a lot of momentum for him going forward. Of course, we are talking about his placement on Kendrick Lamar’s now viral hit off of GNX, “tv off.” But don’t get it twisted, he’s got talent and it’s all over this track below.

As we said, it’s an all-Cali link-up, with Hitta J3, 19-year-old YS, and Bozo in the mix. Speaking of J3, he also got the chance to shine on Lamar’s project. You can find him on the title track deeper into the record. Overall, this track is a major banger, with an excellent gangsta rap-like beat. That comes courtesy of Damn James! (Kanye West, Meek Mill, Ella Mai) and Ty Dolla $ign. It’s mean, it’s lean, and extremely hard-hitting right from the jump. J3 really kicks the track off right with some intimidating bars and nice flow over the slower production. Gunplay follows up right after, then YS, with Bozo maybe having the best verse of them all. But no one misses and it’s a track we can Gunplay hanging his hat on.
