Gillie Da Kid & Joe Budden Resolve Their Beef, Hint At Upcoming Podcast Together

by

Joe Budden and Gillie Da Kid are two of the most respected and well-known hip-hop media figures, and are both great rappers in their own right. However, for quite some time now, beef and bickering got in between them. For hip-hop’s 50th anniversary, though, it looks like the two and Gillie’s Million Dollaz Worth Of Game co-host Wallo267 are setting all that aside. In a new clip, they all teased an upcoming podcast episode where they will all sit down and talk about the game, their history, and probably a lot more. All in all, it’s quite exciting news not just for fans of this kind of content, but for people who want to see more beefs get squashed in rap music.

After all, it’s a phenomenon that social media has taken full advantage of through clout-chasing and how it boosts sales. In fact, it’s been a common trend for feuds to raise album sales and interest in artists for generations, so it’s not new by any means. For those unaware, Joe Budden and Gillie got into it over fame and wealth, Budden’s past, and their podcasts’ success and controversies. While there’s still a lot to discuss and correct there, it’s heartening to see that it’ll be a dialogue, not an argument.

Furthermore, Wallo spoke in the clip of the importance and weight behind this particular team-up. “This is what you look like when you’re two rappers and it’s over,” he remarked, still keeping up with their cheeky banter when Joe Budden pulled up to Gillie’s home. “We celebrating the 50th year of hip-hop, these is two ancient dinosaurs of hip-hop. This n***a made $3,700 his whole rap career. Joe probably made about $77,000.”

Meanwhile, given how outspoken Budden in particular has been about hip-hop’s 50th, we’re sure that’ll be an important part of the conversation. Media like this aims to analyze, assess, and contribute a compelling and entertaining view of the art form we love. Considering the sheer talent between the three of them, it’s amazing that their three heads will come together to make something special. For more news and the latest updates on Wallo267, Gillie Da King, and Joe Budden, log back into HNHH.

Nicki Minaj Teases “The Greatest Song She’s Ever Written” On Twitter

by

As if she didn’t have a treasure trove of fantastic songs already, it seems like Nicki Minaj is always on a mission to best herself. Moreover, a lot of fans are understandably ecstatic for her upcoming album Pink Friday 2, set to release towards the end of this year. More importantly, it seems like the Queen is equally as enticed, as she’s teased the album a lot and spoken often about her excitement for it. Most recently, she took to Twitter to tease what the Trinidadian MC calls the best song she’s ever put on paper. When responding to a fan anticipating a culture shift, Nicki evoked Daenerys Targaryen and proclaimed that she’s not stopping the wheel; she’s breaking it.

“The greatest song I’ve ever written,” Nicki Minaj wrote on the social media platform. “My goodness. Opened the vault & played it last night & the reaction >>>. My babies have to have this. The world needs this. Trees will grow. Y’all I’m in love. I’m not kidding y’all.” Considering her penchant for witty bars, anthems, and hard-hitting cuts, this is an incredibly promising statement regardless of whether you’re a Barb or not.

Nicki Minaj Declares Her “Greatest Song” Is On The Way

“A cultural reset incoming,” one fan replied to her tweet. In her response, Nicki Minaj made it clear that it’s not her mission to play by the culture’s rules, or by conventional online vernacular. “Babe the shift that will happen can’t even be referred to as that overused social media jargon. Honestly,” the 40-year-old shared. “After too many resets, one needs to throw the whole appliance in the garbage bin & order a brand new sparkling shiny one that works better, faster & looks better too.”

Meanwhile, the “Super Freaky Girl” pretty much applied the “greatest ever” tag to the album as a whole. “Y’all, I’m not even kidding,” she wrote on Twitter. “In 111 days…Pink Friday 2 is coming to save & restore hope in mank*nd omg barbz I love you I dooooo! Like when y’all have this masterpiece y’all gon be on [cloud nine]. Omg I love it so much y’all. I assfcfhnkjhdbyik. And make sure on that night when the clock strikes 12, that you ain’t neva EVAHHHHH played wit MUVA. #PinkFriday2 It’s #Barbie If you still in doubt. The barbz shall gather around the camp fire and well… you’ll have to wait to see what we do next.” For more news and the latest updates on Nicki Minaj, stick around on HNHH.

Benny The Butcher Previews Lil Wayne Collab For New Album “Everybody Can’t Go”

by

Benny The Butcher are cooking up something good for the former’s upcoming August collaborative project with Hit-Boy, Everybody Can’t Go. Moreover, the Griselda affiliate recently took to Instagram Live to give fans a taste of what’s to come, and included a brief tease of a potential Weezy collab that might appear on the album. Furthermore, if released, this marks their first collaboration since 2020’s “Timeless,” which also featured Big Sean, on Benny’s Hit-Boy-produced album Burden of Proof. While it’s a (very) short snippet, just the Young Money legend’s voice got fans pumped.

“New Orleans to Buffalo,” Lil Wayne rapped on the song before Benny The Butcher cut it off quickly. “That’s all ya’ll need to hear, y’all heard what the man said,” the Buffalo lyricist remarked. “I said I need Lil Wayne, y’all heard what the man said. It’s on the way.” Of course, this is far from the only tease he offered so far as to his next full-length release. Still, for those unaware of his artistry and incredibly formidable pen, hopefully this serves as an entry point for those late to the party.

Benny The Butcher Teases Lil Wayne Feature

Hopefully this collab drops, as the Tana Talk 4 rhymer had bad luck with them in the past. “They hit me and was like, ‘Hov got an idea of a song he wanted you to do,” Benny The Butcher told Joe Budden of a potential Jay-Z team-up. “And then the day that I linked up with him, I’m just kicking it with him.We having drinks and s**t, and he didn’t mention the song. And as soon as he said that, somebody was like, ‘Yo, we need you,’ and they called him over. He left and it never got brought up again. This like, two, three years ago.”

Meanwhile, a Drake collaboration also fell through, but don’t let these unfortunate circumstances cloud your judgement. There’s a good chance that a writer of his caliber bodied both other MCs on the track. With that potential in mind, fans can only dream of what he achieved with Tunechi. On that note, check back in with HNHH for the latest news and updates on Benny The Butcher and Lil Wayne.

Lil Uzi Vert Teases “Barter 16” Mixtape, Shouts Out Young Thug

by

After the smash release of the long-awaited Pink Tape, it seems like Lil Uzi Vert is going back to their 2020 days. That year, they released the also highly anticipated album Eternal Atake, plus two other projects: a deluxe edition of that album that was actually a whole other full-length release (LUV vs. The World 2) and the Future collab Pluto x Baby Pluto. Now, the rapper recently teased a new mixtape titled Barter 16 after the No. 1 debut of their latest album. “Sitting here thinking bout how I went #1 on an experimental tape,” Uzi wrote on their Instagram Story. “My apologies, Barter 16 mixtape on the way. Free Slime,” he concluded, shouting out Young Thug.

Moreover, this already has fans theorizing as to what this new mixtape could even be. Furthermore, there are a few different options that this could suggest, and all are exciting for Lil Uzi Vert as fans usually love their work regardless. In addition, the Philly star always does a great job of hyping up their releases to the point of explosion. So let’s name them out: will this be a Young Thug collab tape, maybe just a feature from Thugger, an homage project, some sort of reference to Lil Wayne’s Tha Carter series, or something else entirely?

Lil Uzi Vert Hints At Barter 16

However, there’s another announcement from the 27-year-old that puts Barter 16‘s future into question. That being said, it’s actually still a dub for Lil Uzi Vert fans since it’s about another album entirely. Recently, they teased Luv Is Rage 3 and even gave a slight hint at the release timeline. “Oh yeah, [Luv Is Rage 3] is coming,” they remarked to a person recording them. “Um, not too long. Probably, like… Honestly, I know I usually be lying, but a couple of months.”

Meanwhile, with the release of the Atlanta trap pioneer’s BUSINESS IS BUSINESS, there’s even more hype around this announcement. Whatever shape it takes, Barter 16 will probably be as good as Luv Is Rage 3, regardless of which comes out first. Hopefully they keep venturing out into new sounds and styles for them to keep exciting their loyal listeners. Stay posted on HNHH for the latest news and updates on Lil Uzi Vert and Young Thug.

Lil Baby Has New Music Coming Soon, He Confirms

by

Over the past nine months or so, we’ve only heard Lil Baby in small doses: features, teases, performances, and so on. However, his latest Instagram post suggests that he’s getting ready to drop something soon. Moreover, he posed on an ice cream cart with chips, which hopefully means he’s going to feed fans soon. In the post’s caption, the Atlanta rapper wrote, “Give Me A Date …………? #newmusicotw.” Whether that comes after a few days, weeks, or months remains to be seen, but there’s an avalanche of commenters asking him to drop something tomorrow.

Regardless, surely what was teased this week will hold fans over with enough conversation to last at least one more. After all, many believe that he took aim at Gunna in a new snippet that released in a video. “Some n***as taking pleas at trial, I know that slime ain’t happy,” he raps, and this comes just a week after his former collaborator’s last album a Gift & a Curse dropped. Furthermore, the Drip Season MC denied dissing Lil Baby on his album, and it actually seems like him and YSL aren’t as estranged as Internet debaters suggest. Wunna reposted Young Thug’s countdown on Instagram, and YSL promoted his new album as well.

Lil Baby’s Tease On Instagram

Though that may be true, perhaps a simple cosign from his peers won’t be enough to dissuade Lil Baby from his beliefs. Still, that just makes fans more anxious and eager to listen to what the 28-year-old drops next. Sure, all this excitement doesn’t mean that it’s been a complete drought for Baby on the musical end. We mentioned some features and singles like his brand new Gucci Mane collab “Bluffin’” and his solo track “Go Hard.“

Meanwhile, others recently took to social media to clown the “Heyy” artist for reasons unrelated to his output. Of course, those are low blows to give, but his glitter fit certainly evoked more laughs than hate. Putting that aside, hopefully his next album or musical moves are no laughing matter, as fans are excited to see him return to prime form. With that in mind, log back into HNHH for the latest news and updates on Lil Baby.

GloRilla Seemingly Teases “Put It On Da Floor” Remix

by

Latto and Cardi B’s “Put It On Da Floor Again” was already a smash hit, and it looks like the song might get even bigger. Not only did Yung Miami recently preview a verse for a remix, but GloRilla hinted at it as well on her Instagram Story. Moreover, she posted a picture of a file that said “(GLO) ON THE FLOOR RMX,” though it unfortunately didn’t have audio like the City Girl’s. With this, hype for a larger and star-studded take on the hit song just got even bigger for many fans online. However, there is the possibility that the Memphis MC is referring to another song similarly titled “On The Floor.”

After all, its “the” instead of “da” in the file name, but what else did she think fans would assume when posting that screenshot? Regardless, some heat from GloRilla is on the way, and that’s the most important thing at the end of the day. Also, the two have collaborated before and shown each other plenty of love, like when Latto hopped on the “F.N.F.” remix. They also appeared alongside Gangsta Boo on the banger “FTCU,” so the two clearly have chemistry.

In addition, the “Lick Or Sum” artist praised “Put It On Da Floor” when it originally came out, tweeting that the song had “a condo in [her] head.” As such, it would be no surprise if she actually got the chance to hop on the song and make yet another banger out of it. Another interesting thing to consider is that Cardi B also showed love to the single upon its release, and she was the first to remix it. Maybe that collaboration makes others harder to believe, but it’s not like remixing the remix has ever been a big no-no in the music industry.

Meanwhile, these two artists, who are hopefully working together again soon, saluted each other after their Grammy nominations. “Well deserved!!!” the 777 artist wrote on Twitter in response to Glo’s celebratory post about her nominations. “G to the L to the O BIG GLO!” She returned the favor by replying, “Congratulations to you as well!!!” For more news and the latest updates on GloRilla and Latto, check back in with HNHH.

J. Cole & Bas Have Another Collab Single On The Way

by

Dreamville is among the best hip-hop labels out right now, and a particularly unified and familial one at that. As such, it’s no surprise that two of their most acclaimed and skilled MCs would want to feed fans with a collab once again. Moreover, Bas just teased via Twitter that he has a “summer heater” with J. Cole set to release soon. Of course, fans expect the single to also appear on the former’s upcoming album, We Only Talk About Real S**t When We’re F***ed Up. It also seems like this is a very recent collaboration that they cooked up, so it’ll be fresh out of the studio onto release platforms.

“gave my bro @djmoma an exclusive summer heaaater me and Cole cooked up this week,” Bas tweeted on Saturday (June 17). “pull up on my @everydayppl fam in a city near you to hear it. song not out nowhere don’t look.” According to the event series’ website, the next Everyday People bash will take place on July 1 in Detroit, Michigan (find info here). Hopefully it gets here sooner rather than later so that we can enjoy this track with as much of the summer left as possible.

Fans likely know the duo for “Tr*be,” a standout 2018 cut that features impeccable verses from both MCs. In addition, they collaborated on “Night” back in 2016 and on “The Jackie” in 2021, and they go back further than that. Another link-up occurred with Bas’ various contributions to the Creed III soundtrack, which J. Cole executive produced. All in all, there’s no reason not to expect more fireworks from the two, especially considering their years of chemistry and versatility as hip-hop artists.

Meanwhile, it’s actually quite notable that they collaborated on the track so little ago and that it’ll come out so fast. After all, we recently found out that sometimes Cole takes his time working on team-ups. Lil Durk recently shared that their recent song “All My Life” was in the works for about two years while Durk searched for “the right record” to send him. That being said, the spontaneity should certainly inspire more excitement than discouragement, as there’s more than one way for him to bring heat. For the latest news on J. Cole and Bas, check back in with HNHH.

Normani Teases “Candy Paint”, Her New Song & First Single In A Year

by

Normani is the kind of artist that lets her craft speak for itself- and cares deeply about having it represent her. Moreover, she recently appeared in a commercial for Bose’s QuietComfort Earbuds II and QuietComfort 45 Headphones and took the chance to preview a new song in the process. “Candy Paint,” which is a bustling, highly percussive, and confidence-oozing cut is her first single in a year. Furthermore, some of the last songs we covered from her were “New To You” with Tinashe, Calvin Harris, and Offset, “WE (Warm Embrace)” with Chris Brown, and her solo cut “Fair.”

In the ad itself, the 27-year-old talent spoke on how people confuse her intentions with her art. In fact, she unfortunately faced a lot of it in anticipation of her solo debut, which is coming soon according to the ad’s description. “Normani is ready for a career-defining return to the scene with her highly anticipated debut album finally on the cusp! We talked about her creative process and what it takes to make the cut for her first album” it read.

Normani’s Bose Commercial With The Upcoming “Candy Paint”

“People sometimes confuse my commitment to the craft with perfectionism,” Normani says in the commercial. “I don’t strive for perfection, I strive to be the most authentic version of myself… I strive to create work that moves my spirit.” At one point when making “Fair,” she realized that said spirit must also undergo some vulnerability. “Sharing this record makes me uncomfortable because you have never really seen me in this light,” she expressed on Instagram. “Definitely aware that you might feel like you don’t know much about me but that’s only because it’s what makes me feel protected. i am really forcing myself to let go here. this is huge for me and hopefully this piece of art resonates. love is beautiful yet so soooo terrifying [black heart emoji] i adore you guys to the moon and back. ohhhh and believe me the uptempo s**t is coming lmaooo.”

Meanwhile, a recent Billboard interview shed some more light on “Candy Paint.” “I really wanted to create a record that allowed me to show my personality,” the Atlanta native said. “I feel like there’s a misconception. It probably has everything to do with my social media. I think that people think I’m so serious, which is the complete opposite [of me]. Anybody that really knows me knows that I’m really funny. I’m a goofball! I love to twerk. I’m just regular. I really wanted to create a record that encompassed that and allowed my personality to shine. It’s a performance record first, which I know my fans have been waiting for, for a very long time. It’s fun, energetic, bossy, it’s bold. It’s sassy but assertive, and yeah, I’m really excited to shoot the music video.” For more on Normani, check back in with HNHH.

Trippie Redd Shares Emotive & Wavy New Snippet

by

It’s been a few months now since the release of Trippie Redd’s polarizing last album, MANSION MUSIK, which kicked off 2023 back in January. While it had some standout highlights, many weren’t feeling the long tracklist and general lack of variety. After all, the Ohio native is known for the many different styles, emotions, vocal cadences, and types of beats that he plays with across his work. However, if you’re one of those fans that wants Trippie to tap back into his emotions, maybe that’s what’s coming soon. He just put a new snippet of an unreleased track on his Instagram featuring his girlfriend Skye Morales that hints toward a departure from his rage tendencies on MANSION MUSIK.

Furthermore, the snippet deals in heartbreak, finding it hard to fall in love, and feeling betrayed by a past relationship. With a guitar in the background as its harmonic driver, a simple trap beat, and Trippie Redd’s melodic sung vocals, it certainly doesn’t sound like anything on his last album. In fact, it seems like he hinted towards the upcoming release of A Love Letter To You 5 in his caption, specifically its first single. “LEFT 4 DEAD,” he captioned the post with presumably the teased single in question. “COMMENT 555 if u ready for the first single from the album.”

Trippie Redd’s New Snippet, Presumably For Lead ALLTY5 Single “LEFT 4 DEAD”

Unfortunately Trippie Redd’s past releases faced roadblocks from hackers holding his music hostage for $1 million. It seems like the greatest effect that had was on the track “KRZY TRAIN” with Travis Scott. According to the 23-year-old, he had to release the unmixed original cut of the song because the whole album would’ve leaked first otherwise. It’s a shame that such an anticipated release faced that robbery, but that was one of the tracks people liked the most from MANSION MUSIK. As such, it seems like everything worked out in the end.

Meanwhile, the “Sweeter Scars” artist probably brought a lot of fans’ hopes up with this snippet. For hardcore Big 14 fans, it indicated that he would go back to the genre blends and emotive songwriting that they love him for. That’s not to say that he can’t do how he pleases with each release, but if anyone can balance so many worlds, it’s him. For more updates and the latest news on Trippie Redd, keep checking in with HNHH.

Gunna Says He Is Dropping Soon: “I’m OTW”

by

About five months since he took his controversial plea deal that got him out of the YSL RICO case, Gunna is still quiet on the musical front. However, he recently hinted through a simple Instagram comment that he won’t stay quiet for long. Moreover, the Atlanta rapper replied to a fan account’s Instagram post that read, “Gunna where tf are you?” with the iconic blue “P” emoji. “I’m OTW [blue “P” emoji],” the Drip Season MC replied in the comments section. With that, fans hope that he makes his return on wax soon, and those disappointed with his “snitching” look forward to seeing how (or if) he addressed the situation and moves past it.

Of course, that whole debacle is complex and impossible for the general public to truly make heads or tails out of. Sure, snitching allegations came quick, as well as subtle or overt condemnations from his hip-hop peers. Still, one can’t deny that this kind of discussion only creates more anticipation around Gunna’s next release. The most recent development in that arena was Young Thug’s Instagram account linking to his album DS4EVER, and then removing it. It’s unclear if the YSL collaborators are on good terms, and that IG bio link and its subsequent removal only made things murkier.

Gunna Says He’s On The Way

Regardless, this isn’t the first time that Gunna hinted at his return, whether inadvertently or otherwise. For example, a song snippet surfaced online back in March of this year where he said he’ll “fight it out” in his bars. While this hints at an elaboration of his plea deal, it’s also one of those bars that could mean anything. No matter what direction he takes, his next move will likely determine whether he’s here to stay in the rap game or if audiences leave him behind as a result of public backlash.

Meanwhile, other updates on Gunna’s status came from some industry sources. “I mean, we don’t really talk about a personal type of things but he’s doing good,” Chlöe remarked of her relationship with the 29-year-old. “I always wish him the best. He’s always been a dear friend of mine so I want to make sure he’s okay.” For more updates and the latest news on Gunna, stay logged into HNHH.
