by

If you’ve been looking for a studio to record in around the Wellington, Florida area, you’re in luck. Rapper Riff Raff just put his home studio up for rent for $15K an hour on the studio locating app Stufinder. Moreover, the Houston, Texas-born artist announced his offer on Thursday (February 23) for artists to record in “Riff Raff’s Realm.” Furthermore, the description reads: “Guard gated studio space at Riff Raff’s content house. Session includes a verse and social media post from Riff Raff. Studio comes equipped with Sony c800, Moog synths, Fender Rhodes, LA-2Way, Sony A7IV camera, air conditioning, snacks, and drinks.”

Also, smoking is allowed in the 60-minute session. Amenities include wheelchair accessibility, parking, a TV, bathroom, lounge, and fire alarm. According to Stufinder, the 41-year-old is the first rapper to list his home studio as part of the app’s services. “RiFF RAFF’s creative process and unique style can inspire you to think outside the box and experiment with new sounds, melodies, and lyrics,” the listing claims. “You can observe how he approaches writing, recording, and producing his music, and ask him questions about his influences, goals, and experiences.”

Riff Raff Offers His Home Studio

“Even if you don’t end up working on music together, you can still benefit from meeting RiFF RAFF in person and building a relationship with him,” it continued. “He may introduce you to other musicians, producers, or industry professionals, or recommend you to his fans and followers, increasing your exposure and credibility.” In fact, the rapper’s already released quite the output in 2023 to back this listing up. For example, he just dropped the single “Clout Collector” with Cash Motivated and AD Green.

Along with five other singles this year, he’s hard at work on his follow-up to his 2021 album, Turquoise Tornado. While Riff isn’t exactly the most acclaimed MC out there, something must be said about him still working on his career. After all, many who blew up in a similarly viral way might be in completely different avenues at this point. Regardless, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from Riff Raff and his potential new collaborators in the studio.

Kanye West Asked Uncle Murda To Write A Verse For Him

by

Uncle Murda recently revealed that Kanye West asked him for help when writing a verse. Moreover, the alleged assist happened alongside Big Sean and record executive Steve Stoute. Despite the Chicago rapper’s public reckoning as of late, tales of his studio exploits and team-ups are always curious.

“You wrote s**t for Kanye?” DJ Superstar Jay asked Uncle Murda in an interview. “You was in the writer’s room?”

“Hold on, hold up. I ain’t- he had me starting to write,” the New York MC explained. It was me and Big Sean. This was the first day I was f***ing with the n***a. Word. That’s why I know Big Sean was really pissed off at the n***a, you know what I’m saying, when they had their issues.

“I remember just being in the studio and Ye was like ‘Damn, this beat,’” he continued. “He was like ‘Yo, go ahead, try to put something together.’ He called Big Sean like ‘Yo, try to work on this beat. It’s been f***ing with me for the last few days. I can’t come up with nothing.’ Like, n***a wanted me to write already? No blunt or nothing? Just like, ‘Go!’ And it was him and Steve Stoute. I’ll never forget.”

Moreover, this interaction is all the funnier when you consider Uncle Murda’s most recent output. His annual “Rap Up” diss turned heads last year with shots towards the “Off The Grid” artist. Also, artists like Freddie Gibbs responded to receiving hits on the track, though Ye never did.

However, the diss track gave us some more noteworthy responses. Bobby Shmurda reacted to Murda’s mention in a slightly tongue-in-cheek way, probably trying to clean up some earlier mistakes.

“Murda, I’m a changed man, I’m a changed man, I’m different, man. I’m tryna change, Murda, I ain’t tryna boom nobody no more,” Shmurda stated via Instagram. Clearly the 42-year-old’s got plenty of material to work with, even to donate to the Yeezy mogul.

Still, what do you think of Uncle Murda helping Kanye out with a verse? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments down below. Also, as always, stay tuned to HNHH for more curious hip-hop interactions and favors.
