Big Sean Drops Two New Songs On Soundcloud Ahead Of Album Release

August 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Big Sean is ready to share his new album with fans. The rapper has been through a lot to get Better Me Than You made. He had to struggle through album leaks, personal setbacks, and health scares. He even considered delaying the album and reworking what he already had. In a recent Instagram Live, however, Big Sean confirmed that he would be giving the album to the fans in its original form. It turns out, Sean is giving us two new songs in advance as well. The rapper shocked Soundcloud users on Wednesday night by dropping a pair of Better Me Than You standouts.

The first song, “Fighting Fires” was teased as a Kanye West collab. Big Sean previewed the song way back in July, but West is no longer on it. The new version gives fans an update on where the rapper is at in his life. Big Sean raps hard over a soulful, drumless beat, reflecting on his career and how he stacks up against peers. It has a mature feel, which aligns with the way that Big Sean has been moving during the Better Me Than You rollout. It really seems like he’s moving differently than he was when he was younger. A song like “Fighting Fires” is sonic proof.

“Fighting Fires” Sees Big Sean Repurpose A Ye Beat

“Dirty Work” has a similar feel to “Fighting Fires.” There are drums, but both songs are built around a chill soul sample that lends levity to Big Sean’s words. Once again, there’s a lyrical focus on legacy, and what has really become important to the rapper the older he’s gotten. The title refers to the difficult things one needs to do to progress as a person. Sean repeatedly notes that he’s willing to do the “dirty work.” Both “Fighting Fires” and “Dirty Work” are missing from the leaked Better Me Than You tracklist. That said, it could be a case of Big Sean simply reworking the titles.

Big Sean’s rollout has been unorthodox, but his excitement to share music with fans shines through. It’s something he talked about during the aforementioned live stream. “I’m excited, and that’s one thing that my mom said,” he relayed. “She said, ‘Get excited.’ Like, ‘Drop your album; it’s fire.’ I appreciate my mom for being that guardian angel always giving me that advice. She really talked me through it for real.” We can’t wait to hear the full album when it officially drops on August 30.

“Nothing But Net” By Travis Scott, PARTYNEXTDOOR, & Young Thug Should Be Much Bigger Than It Is: Revisiting The Soundcloud Masterpiece

July 24, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Travis Scott’s journey to mega stardom has been one heck of a wild journey. From being a Kanye West understudy to overcoming the controversial Astroworld tragedy, and to still be on one of the biggest hip-hop tours in recent memory with Circus Maximus is quite remarkable. While many are going to view the larger accomplishments as the ones that got him to this point, it is really the journey in between those major milestones. One of the more underrated things Travis Scott did earlier on was becoming something of a Soundcloud legend. His catalog on the platform features some of his most fun and grimy bangers still to this day. Travis’s “Nothing But Net”, featuring Young Thug and PARTYNEXTDOOR, is one that we constantly revisit.

The star power isn’t just on the mic, though. TM88, Boi-1da, and Southside cooked up a darkly wonderous instrumental that is evokes quintessential 2014-2015 Travi$. From hilariously nasty bars and an outrageous delivery from Thugger, to the toxicity oozing from PND, as well as the atmospheric performance from Travis, the track has it all. Sadly, though, the song never got as much love as it deserves. Instead of making the final cut for Rodeo, it was instead released as a loosie on Scott’s Soundcloud and on a Hustle Gang mixtape called, We Run This, Vol. 13 (2016).

Yes, it still has over 21.6 million plays on the streaming service, which is very respectable. However, with Rodeo evolving into one of the best trap albums of all time nearly 10 years later, this could have been one its biggest success stories. Travis is certainly doing more than fine right now, so it doesn’t mean much in the grand scheme of things. What this does prove is that he has so much heat in the vault that ultimately, he has to split hairs. But we still are going to show love to it, and you should too.

“Nothing But Net”- Travis Scott, PARTYNEXTDOOR, & Young Thug

Quotable Lyrics:

My words don’t know if I crashed into a pool or her jaw
Pops never home, left a long term
On the back when a lil’ n**** had to sit and deal with it
Loner turned rock star, n****, under the moon
Got the world in my palm, ’bout to rub her p***y with it
When you dominate it, come with digits

03 Greedo Delivers His Signature Crooning On “Fine China”

June 4, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Watts, California rapper and singer 03 Greedo definitely deserves more respect than he is already receiving. Some might find his rap style sleepy or too inaudible at times. However, to us, he gives off early Young Thug vibes. When Thugger was coming up in the early 2010s, at lot hip-hop heads were not taking a liking to his then unorthodox approach. However, over the course of his career, he is become of the most influential figures of the modern era. Greedo will probably never get the same love as the Georgia native. But he is definitely a pioneer of the rapping/singing delivery in our eyes. Helping the veteran is his consistency, as he always has some project or single ready to go.

Just several hours ago, 03 Greedo released another loosie to Soundcloud and YouTube called “Fine China”, continuing his hot streak. His versatile style has lent his talents to some fire collaborations this year. He most recently and surprisingly appeared on Mach-Hommy’s latest record #RICHAXXHAITIAN on the title song and it is a summer bop. Additionally, he got into his more aggressive bag on Maxo Kream’s single “R.I.C.O”.

Listen To “Fine China” By 03 Greedo

On “Fine China” though, Greedo is back to his melodic ways. He rides a well-mixed piano-backed instrumental, along with some skittering drum patterns. With so many mainstream artists dropping big projects and singles this year, 03 is getting lost in the shuffle for most. But we are here to showcase what he has been doing all year long.

What are your thoughts on “Fine China” by 03 Greedo? Is this one of his best songs of 2024, why or why not? Do you think he is dropping a new album sometime this year? What is your favorite aspect of the track? 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 03 Greedo. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

Lil Yachty & 21 Savage Join Forces On 2016 Freshman List Reunion Track “Part Of The Plan”

June 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Lil Yachty went back to his old stomping grounds not too long ago to drop some old recordings over the course of his career. That familiar place is Soundcloud, which the Georgia creative is still active on even till this day. Lil Boat hopped on his IG story about 24 hours ago to announce that he loaded up tHE CONCRETE LeaK sYstem with a “new” batch of 14 tracks. Some of the tracks have the years in which they were made, and the ones that do were concocted in 2022, 2023, or 2021. One of them, “Part of the plan”, sees Lil Yachty work with someone who should be a frequent collaborator.

That would be 21 Savage and because of that hometown connection, you would think they would have a lengthy history. However, the opposite is quite true, as we could only find two official releases from them. “Drippin’” and “Neck Shine” are on a producer project from Dolan Beats called Most Known Unknown (Dolan Beats Classic). Those are 2018 cuts, but outside of those two, “Part of the plan” is the only other one with both their names attached.

Listen To “Part Of The Plan” By Lil Yachty & 21 Savage

Even with the lack of songs together, Yachty and 21 do share one major accomplishment together. Both have become some of the biggest stars from the 2016 XXL Freshman class. In a crop that featured the likes of Lil Uzi Vert, Kodak Black, Denzel Curry, and etc., these two have arguably trumped them in influence. Now, they are back to rekindle that connection on “Part of the plan”.

What are your thoughts on “Part of the plan” by Lil Yachty and 21 Savage? Is this the best song from the recent tHE CONCRETE LeaK sYstem drop, why or why not? Do you think him and 21 need to collab more often going forward? How long have you heard about this Soundcloud account?

June 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The Soundcloud era of hip-hop was a rich time for listeners. Some of the biggest and brightest stars were taking part in it during its most explosive era in the last 2010s.

Denzel Revives His 2012 Raider Klan Mixtape “King Of The Mischievous South Vol. 1 (Underground Tape 1996)”

May 27, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Denzel Curry is taking us on a trip down memory lane by reissuing King Of The Mischievous South Vol. 1 (Underground Tape 1996). This is one of the Carol City, Florida native’s earliest bodies of work. In fact, this is a mixtape from the since disbanded group, Raider Klan. Curry left to forge his solo career in 2013, a little bit before the underground posse split.

King Of The Mischievous South would be one of his last efforts with them and it was made when he was an early teen. It dropped on Soundcloud back in 2012, but Curry has decided to bring it back. If you are not familiar with the Raider Klan’s sound, they draw a lot of inspiration from Memphis, especially Three 6 Mafia. However, there are also elements of Southern hip-hop, chopped and screwed, the 90s, and more.

Listen To King Of The Mischievous South Vol. 1 (Underground Tape 1996) By Denzel Curry

Denzel does calls back to those sounds every once in a while on his newer projects. But King Of The Mischievous takes a full dive into those subgenres to great effect. Marketing this as a mixtape was the right call, as it rough around the edges. However, you can see that Zel had it like that even back then.

Yeat Leaves Off “HeliMAn,” A Return To Form For Fans

April 19, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Yeat has grown to be one of the biggest rappers in the modern landscape and could maybe be one of the most influential. His wavy, rage rap sound has evolved over the last few years and 2093 was the last iteration of it. However, it seemed to divide a lot of fans, while winning over a handful of critics, including Anthony Fantano. But the Oregon native is seemingly winning back some of his supporters with a new single “HeliMAn.”

This track is currently a Soundcloud only release, so this track seems to be for the extreme die-hards. So far, plenty of them have flocked to support “HeliMAn” and they are digging it. Tons of flame emojis and praise fill the comments under the song, and it makes sense why. As with most of Yeat’s music, you go to it for the vibes, production, and hype factor.

Listen To “HeliMAn” By Yeat

This loosie checks off each of those boxes with perhaps the beat being the biggest highlight. The synths play a major role in adding some personality throughout the instrumental. Then, you have the resonant bass which will make you want to rage out of control. We can this song working for those late summer nights and we will certainly be revisiting this track.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single “HeliMAn” by Yeat? Can you see his fans supporting this sound compared to what 2093 did? Does this deserve a more widespread release? Are you still bumping his last album? If so which songs? 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 Yeat. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on around the music world.

Quotable Lyrics:

You’re gonna get X’d out on the cross, yeah, not no red (Cross)
Side by side, side, we got big trucks and big guns (Err)
They ask where I came from, I’m the holy one
Put it on the sun, put it on the moon, yeah
Tell me what the f*** you do before you gonna do it
Tell me how the f*** I look before you ever suit it

Metro Boomin, Future, & Travis Scott Deliver The Dreamy Fan-Favorite “Cinderella”

March 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Most hip-hop fans would agree on the fact that Soundcloud has given us incredible snippets. To play devil’s advocate, it may ruin the listening experience when a song gets leaked and then eventually released. But in the case of Future and Metro Boomin’s “Cinderella,” fans of the unfinished version were dying to see it get officially dropped. There was some speculation that this was going to be on UTOPIA given the time it made its way onto Soundcloud.

Instead, its home is Future and Metro Boomin’s eagerly awaited WE DON’T TRUST YOU. The album has been getting everyone talking in its first day out thanks to Kendrick Lamar’s surprise appearance. His shots toward Drake and J. Cole have been the main focus of this project for the most part. But “Cinderella” is still a big deal as well and hearing Travis Scott on it still was the cherry on top.

Listen To “Cinderella” By Future, Metro Boomin, & Travis Scott

The unreleased version feels a little louder, while this official release relies a little heavier on the atmosphere from Future and Travis’ gravelly and subdued flows. Additionally, the twinkly synths that give the beat so much character are more prevalent and sound a little different too. Some are already complaining that the trio should have just stuck with the one everybody was used to. But we are here to say that Metro, Future, and Travis still did an incredible job keeping the spirit of the fan-favorite with the welcomed tweaks.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new song, “Cinderella,” by Future, Metro Boomin, and Travis Scott? Is this the best track on the album, why or why not? Who had the strongest performance on the record? Did the trio remaster the song well, or do you prefer the Soundcloud version more? 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 Future, Metro Boomin, and Travis Scott.

Quotable Lyrics:

Back to back like a train
Think twice tryna derail us
The gang like the Goodfellas
Took off, propane propellers
She like gold watch, gold chain
African Cinderella (Ooh)

Lil Uzi Vert’s Most Passionate “Superfans” Responsible For SoundCloud Revenue, Economist Explains

February 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

A huge chunk of Lil Uzi Vert’s most devoted fans bring in a shockingly high percentage of the artist’s total SoundCloud revenue, according to Spotify’s former Chief Economist Will Page. Page broke down the financial numbers behind Uzi’s success and the backing of their fanbase during an interview with Trapital. He began by explaining that he tracked data from the time surrounding the release of Uzi’s EP, Red & White, in 2022.

“I was interested in understanding in how his fan distribution changed during that couple of months during that release schedule. When you hear reports about, ‘Find your superfans on Spotify,’ you know how much those superfans are worth? They’re worth exactly the same as everyone else because the pro-rata model equalizes out the streams,” Page said. “And in the case of Lil Uzi Vert – in the first month under analysis, we saw that five percent of his fans were superfans and generated 50 percent of his revenue. Add in the marketing campaign, the release schedule, the big push to these superfans, what did he achieve in month two? Seven percent of those superfans generating 70 percent of his revenue.”

From there, Page remarked: “Now that’s really important, and I mean this. I’m not exaggerating. It’s perhaps the first real mathematical description of fandom we’ve ever had.” Check out Page’s full breakdown of the numbers behind Uzi’s fanbase below.

Cash Cobain Lists Off Every Woman He Wants To Get With On “Dunk Contest”

January 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

New York’s rap scene has recently been flooded with a sudden tsunami of drill rappers. While the hardcore hip-hoppers still have more than a spot in the current field of talents, drill is having its moment right now. There are certainly different approaches to this popular subgenre. One person doing things a little outside the box is Cash Cobain. Once we explain his methodology, you may either be down with it, or wanting to explore elsewhere.

Cash said it best in a recent interview he did with Rolling Stone. “My music is about ho-ing, I just love being a ho.” The 25-year-old from Brooklyn is all about partying, women, and drugs of the trippiest kind. He has displayed that across his entire discography and this is a lane he looks to dominate for years and beyond.

Listen To “Dunk Contest” By Cash Cobain

That was especially the case on his most recent single “Rump,” as well as his latest project Pretty Girls Love Slizzy. Now, he is back with a new one called “Dunk Contest.” This makes a clever innuendo about all the women he wants to “slam.” He actually lists each one of them off by name across the three-minute run time. Cobain details the things he wants to do each one and describes their best features. If this is not the h**niest song you have ever heard, then tell us what tops this.

What are your initial thoughts on this brand-new single, “Dunk Contest,” by Cash Cobain? Is this his best single as of late, why or why not? Is his most recent project, Pretty Girls Love Slizzy, still in your rotation? If so, which tracks are you bumping from it? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your hottest takes in the comments section below. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Cash Cobain.
