Kali Uchis Previews Spanish “Orquideas” Album With “Te Mata” Single: Stream

Any artists who plan on releasing new music before 2023 comes to a close have only a few New Music Fridays left to do so. Kali Uchis isn’t planning on giving us another album this year after dropping one ahead of her iconic Coachella performance in the spring, but the black-haired beauty did return with a new single today (October 20) to show us what’s in store for 2024. Uchis confirmed earlier this month that her Spanish album, Orquideas, is due out in early January. Both the previously released “Munekita” featuring el Alfa and JT and today’s “Te Mata” are on the tracklist, along with 12 other unnamed titles.

In the new Josh Crocker and Manuel Lara-produced single, Uchis lyricizes about life after a painful heartbreak. After some struggle, she manages to alchemize her pain into happiness – at the expense of her ex. “Well that’s already over, that’s not me anymore / I’m finally happy, my days are no longer gray / I finally realized that I deserve much more / and that kills you,” her lyrics, translated from Spanish by Uproxx, express.

The upcoming LP will be the fourth studio release from Uchis, who made her debut in 2015 with Por Vida. She’s since gone on to collaborate with the likes of Tyler, The Creator, Jorja Smith, Steve Lacy, PARTYNEXTDOOR, Rico Nasty, and boyfriend Don Toliver on multiple occasions. We’re curious to see who else the 29-year-old will be working with in the future and will be sure to keep you updated on the latest from the “telepatia” hitmaker.

While we wait for the Spanish songstress to show us her bilingual vocal talents this coming January, take a moment to revisit his year’s Red Moon In Venus LP at the link below.

Si eso me hace mala, pues diabla es lo quе soy
Nunca vas a poder cortar mis alas
Y eso es lo quе te mata

Bad Bunny’s “Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va A Pasar Manana” Album Marks A Triumphant Return

Now that Drake has finally delivered For All The Dogs, there’s been a notable increase in the number of releases coming from the hip-hop industry. Creatives are no longer living in fear of being dramatically out-streamed by the Canadian artist, who had the seventh-largest opening day in Spotify history thanks to his work. Many are still streaming that R&B-centric project, but this past New Music Friday (October 13), Bad Bunny followed up his short and sweet guest feature on Drizzy’s album with a new LP of his own called Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va A Pasar Manana.

The 22-track effort is on pace to make a No. 1 debut on the Billboard chart in the coming days, though its numbers are expected to be lower than 2022’s Un Verano Sin Ti. Regardless, Benito continues to make headlines thanks to his hard work, whether for making suggestive comments about his sex life with Kendall Jenner, or for seemingly dissing J Balvin.

Bad Bunny is Back in His Bag

Friends who joined forces with the “I Like It” hitmaker for Nadie Sabe include Young Miko, Mora, Bryant Myers, and Eladio Carrion. The latter comes through on “THUNDER Y LIGHTNING,” one of the final few titles on which Bunny seems to call Balvin out for being too friendly with many people in the music industry.

Check out our personal favourite song from Bad Bunny’s new album, “CYBERTRUCK” in the video above. If you’re curious about everything the Puerto Rican brings to the table on Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va A Pasar Manana, you can find the full LP on Spotify/Apple Music. For more HNHH release recommendations, tap back in with us again later this weekend.

6ix9ine On Criticism For Making Spanish Music: “It’s Our Culture, Too”

Recently, 6ix9ine has been in the midst of a huge comeback. He may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but even the biggest haters among us can admit that the rapper’s new material is catchy. Still much of 6ix9ine’s comeback has been overshadowed by situations in his personal life. More specifically, the now-infamous LA Fitness assault seems to be what keeps the rapper in the headlines. Because he was attacked so close to his comeback, some even believe that 6ix9ine himself set up the attack as a way to get press. Still, it was a pretty embarrassing ordeal for the rapper.

In any case, it appears that the rapper might be moving on from his previous persona. 6ix9ine has always been well-known for shouting excessively during his earlier songs. However, the artist has recently delved into his Latin heritage for his latest two albums. He has been creating anthems fit for stadiums and international radio play instead of uncomfortably loud shouting over hard beats. Although it may have alienated some of his fans, he is beginning to gain a new following from it. However, some people aren’t having it.

6ix9ine: “Spanish N***as Can’t Eat?”

6ix9ine went on social media to set the record straight about his new direction. Recently, the rapper has received a bit criticism from both fans and haters for making Spanish music. The pivot into a new market was definitely a surprise for many. However, 6ix9ine makes it clear in the video that he has zero time for anyone who would question the decision. He talks directly to camera, leaving no room for doubt as to what his motives are. First, he tells fans that he actually owes his label a Spanish album. Apparently, they paid him millions of dollars back in 2020 for the creation of the record. However, that’s not the only reason, and according to 6ix9ine, it’s not the most important reason.

“You know how many Spanish n*ggas is born and raised… in the whole of New York City? What ya’ll trying to say, Spanish n*ggas can’t eat? When you Spanish, you can only make Reggaeton?” 6ix9ine said. “It’s our culture, too, n*gga…” 6ix9ine sounds angry in the video as he makes his feelings clear. It seems he is speaking directly to those who have accused him of being a “culture vulture” for making rap music. He went on to talk about his accomplishments as a Spanish-speaking rapper. “Name one Spanish rapper other than me… that can enter the top 10 on Billboard… Y’all just mad because I can enter a whole different demographic in the Spanish market. I dominated the English, and I’m gonna dominate the Spanish.” What do you think of 6ix9ine’s statement? Let us know in the comments!
