Tee Grizzley And 42 Dugg Get Aggressive On New Single “Detroit”

by

Tee Grizzley and 42 Dugg make hard music. They’ve built their brand around it. Both rappers hail from Detroit, and give off a specific kind of intensity. It’s helped them get to where they are today. Grizzley and 42 Dugg have both blown up in recent years, so it was only a matter of time before they linked back up. The last time these two were on a song together was “Hard Players.” Now, Tee Grizzley and Dugg are showcasing pride for where they came from. “Detroit” is every bit as gritty as its title suggests. Big Sean may have laid claim to Detroit as an album title, but Grizz and Dugg are holding down the D as a song.

Tee Grizzley kicks off “Detroit” with an absolutely relentless flow. He finds such a pocket that the drums drop out around the 0:35 second mark, and he still keeps going. Grizzley is not playing around, as shown in his absolutely ruthless bars. “I be in a trap with old heads that’s richer than Joe Biden (N*gas loaded),” he spits. “F*ck with me, dog, but don’t fuck with me, dog. That pain nobody wanna feel, that’s what we cause.” Tee Grizzley is a tough act to follow, but he picked the right rapper to hold down the back end of “Detroit.” 42 Dugg adopts a slower, more melodic flow. It works. He manages to communicate a sense of aggression while sounding smoother on the propulsive beat. Tee Grizzley and 42 Dugg don’t break the mold or anything, but they really do the mold proud.

Boldy James & Tee Grizzley Tag Team A Luxurious Trap Beat From Harry Fraud On “Cecil Fielder”

by

There is no stopping Boldy James. The Detroit, Michigan MC, one who embodies the hardcore subgenre, is back with yet another single. It comes just a few days after the YouTube exclusive release of “10 Pints”. It’s a reuniting of legends, as him and The Alchemist pick up right up where they left off a few years ago. Now, the East Coast figure is rekindling his relationship with New York producing vet Harry Fraud. Boldy James is also bringing his Detroit brethren Tee Grizzley along for the ride, as they drop “Cecil Fielder”.

Something that Harry and Boldy do not share is an album. The latter has plenty with other producers, so with “Cecil Fielder” being their song, the hope is that this a lead single. As per usual, Fraud lays down another incredible instrumental that equal parts grand and gritty. The elegant string and horn sections intertwined with the trap drums lead to one heck of an extravagant vibe. Additionally, Boldly and Tee display that thy have something to build on outside of their same-city connection. This is hands down one of the former’s best tracks of 2024.

Quotable Lyrics:

Twelfth birthday, my pops gave me a stack and that s*** smelt like crack
Before God gave me all these dreams to rap, I dreamed of scorpion stamps
Me and brodie knew if they pulled over the Chevy
It’s distribution, can’t we say we usin’, this bag we got too heavy
Fiend called the phone and got eight dollars, but he want a dime, s*** petty
I don’t turn it down, watch me lock in and stack it all the way to a Presi’, n****

Skilla Baby Claims Detroit Doesn’t Have A Consensus GOAT Rapper

by

Skilla Baby has build a lot of buzz in the 2020s. The rapper protege of Sada Baby has established a unique sound and delivery. He’s also vocal about being from Detroit, and repping the city’s history of legendary artists. That being said, Skilla Baby does not prescribe to the theory that Eminem is the best the city has to offer. He said as much during a recent appearance on This Is Keke Palmer podcast. He not only pushed back against the Em theory, but articulated a greater issue within Detroit hip-hop.

Skilla Baby had no claiming that Eminem does not have a stranglehold over Detroit hip-hop the way the rest of the country assumes. “I don’t know because if you think number-wise Eminem is the best Detroit rapper,” the rapper posited. “But the gag is nobody would say that in Detroit.” He conceded that he was a fan of Shady when he was younger, but notes that the rapper’s status among younger Detroit artists has faded over time. “I was an Eminem fan as a kid,” he noted. “I’m a fan of Eminem but do we consider him our best rapper? I don’t think Detroit does.”

Skilla Baby Feels That Detroit Doesn’t Have A GOAT

Keke Palmer knew that her guest was veering into controversial territory, and asked Skilla who his pick for Detroit’s best is. He didn’t named a single artist, but rather a revolving door of them. In Skilla Baby’s estimation the mantle for the city’s best is constantly changing. “Everybody had their turn being Detroit’s favorite rapper,” he theorized. “Sada Baby had his turn, Tee Grizzley had a turn, [42] Dugg had a turn, Babyface Ray had a turn.” Skilla Baby also have love to some of the younger artists who have brought attention to Detroit in recent years. Selflessly, he didn’t include himself.

“Veeze is one of Detroit’s best rappers now,” Skilla added. “Baby Smoove, Big Kizz – a lot of artists had their turn. Rocaine… Everybody had their turn being the best in the city.” The rapper claimed that the lack of a definitive GOAT Detroit rapper is a bug and not a feature, however. “What we lack is consistency,” he asserted. “Nobody’s consistently been Detroit’s best rapper.” Maybe Skilla Baby is one of the artists who can correct this perceived inconsistency.

Tee Grizzley Makes Surprise Donation to Detroit’s Coalition of Temporary Shelter for Mother's Day

In a heartwarming gesture ahead of Mother’s Day, Detroit rapper Tee Grizzley visited COTS’ Peggy’s Place yesterday, generously covering the security deposits for three families moving out of the emergency shelter. The donation also included funds for these mothers to purchase essential household items for their new homes.

During his visit, Tee Grizzley spent quality time with the families and staff at COTS, engaging in conversations and taking photos. His presence and generosity brought joy and hope to the organization’s supporters.

COTS (Coalition On Temporary Shelter) is a Detroit-based private, non-profit organization that provides emergency shelter, supportive and affordable housing, and comprehensive support services for families experiencing or at risk of homelessness.

The Source Music Video Review: Tee Grizzly Returns with an Impact on “Swear to God” Feat. Future

by
unnamed (1)

The music video for Tee Grizzley’s “Swear to God” featuring Future premiered Thursday night and its already the #7 trending video on YouTube. Before we jump into the visual’s merits, we can’t ignore that this record slaps.

MUSIC:

If you’ve already pressed play, you know the bars from the outset hit hard with Future starting off with the hook. He comes into the song spitting “F*** your album, sh*t ain’t slapping’ like my mixtape.” Let’s safely assume he means generally speaking and no one in particular, but you get the point. He goes on to say a couple of things that make sense visually, like “Thousand grams on a Cuban” and “Park a Ferrari in the trenches, feel like 2Pac.” More on that later. Let’s not forget this is Tee Grizzly’s record. He shows it with his commanding presence, which is only matched by his signature delivery. He starts his verse off with “My B**** ain’t got’ cheat unless it’s with a b**** we brought back home” queue visual, which is on the tamer side of the song if you know how Grizzly rocks with his lyrics. But the rest of the bars slap. This is a high-energy record that may shape up to become a bonafide summer anthem. Now, let’s jump into the video and break down what Tee Grizzly and Future did onscreen with “Swear to God.” 

THEME:

Directed by Jerry Production, “Swear to God” starts with hero shots of Future and Tee Grizzly in typical slow motion. The theme is clear – Excess, winning, and spectacle. Every frame exemplifies that theme. The director managed to get that across even in the first scene, seemingly at a gas station, but it felt like a high fashion car show. The bars match the theme. The excess is evident. Think “Wolf of Wall Street” – every scene is about money, winning, and reaping the rewards of success. The theme of excess, much like in “World of Wall Street,” is certified in “Swear to God.”

CINEMATOGRAPHY:

Regarding cinematography, Jerry Production is skilled at shooting in low light. “Swear to God” is a nighttime shoot, and he pulled off the visual by leveraging the natural light provided by the sets. From the gas station floods to the jewelry showroom spotlighting, this helps hit the theme home, so shots of the diamonds on Tee Grizzly and Future’s wrists and neck are sparkling. The consistent pallet of blue, black, and cool grey felt natural and created an aesthetic that flowed effortlessly like the song’s lyrics. Jerry Production’s juxtaposition of light and darkness was a powerful metaphor for the struggles and triumphs depicted in the song’s lyrics.

STYLE:

The style in “Swear to God” was dripped out as expected, with Tee Grizzly flanked by Future. Some of the labels you can spot are Louis Vuitton, Prada, and Givenchy, to name a few. The Prada ensemble worn by Future was dope. It was almost like he was a shooter looking to spin the block but head to toe in the Italian label. But all the wear almost felt regular as the attention was more on their jewels. “1000 grams on a Cuban” was no hyperbole. They brought out the diamonds for this one, and it was almost overkill. Easily a million in jewelry on set. It is not confirmed, but it looked as such at a glance. The vehicles were nothing short of a display of supercars. The black-on-black Ferrari, Maybach, and yacht all made sense for a song about excess to where you gotta see it to believe it, swear to God.

RECAP:

The visual for “Swear to God” is a reminder of what hip-hop embodies more often than not – money, drip, and the power that comes from success. Tee Grizzly and Future made their presence felt with this record, and the notion of excess hit home in every scene. Director Jerry Production made it make sense with his impressive shooting style, which was more than your run-of-the-mill nighttime shoot. Excited to see what else this director has in store for us.

Future & Tee Grizzley Display Great Chemistry On “Swear To God”

by

Even though this weekend has been loaded up with tons of releases from some of the upper echelon talents, many fans were distraught and frustrated. A series of posts on X (formerly Twitter) a couple of days ago from Future set the platform ablaze, as he seemingly was hinting at a new mixtape dropping on May 10. “F*** yo album S*** ain’t slappin like my MIXTAPE.” “MAY TENTH🤧.” “MIXTAPE PLUTO.” These were all of the messages that had fans pumped for a possible third project from the Georgia legend in a span of two months.

Another reason why fans have been upset this afternoon was because there was speculation of Future and Gunna competing with one another. They have been subliminally dissing each other, especially because Gunna is a free man and Young Thug is still going to court hearings. However, the opposite has been true. All Future was doing was teasing lyrics from a collaboration cut with Tee Grizzley. The track, “Swear to God,” features both trap MCs over a nasty Wheezy beat and the Future tweets pop in right at the beginning on the chorus.

Listen To “Swear To God” By Tee Grizzley & Future

Pluto claims this track as his by providing a verse as well, even though he is credited as a feature. But both artists do complement each other well and it makes sense. These two veterans share similar styles and they have worked together in the past once before. That happened on a YNW Melly album cut “Freddy Krueger” back in 2021. Be sure to check out the trending single with the link above.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single “Swear to God” by Tee Grizzley and Future? Individually is this one of their stronger releases as of late, why or why not? Do you think Tee is gearing up for a new project soon? Were you fooled when Future tweeted about a new mixtape? Who had the stronger performance? 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 Tee Grizzley and Future. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

Quotable Lyrics:

F*** your album, s*** ain’t slappin’ like my mixtape (F*** your album)
I’m gettin’ Saudi Arabia money, servin’ oil-based (What’s happenin’?)
Rob a rapper and say my name, get his chain back (Pluto)
My b**** cheat on me, I find out, get her chain snatched (Woo)
Thousand grams on a Cuban, bought a few blocks (G7, one hundred)
Hustler of the century, ordered up a few drops (G7)

Future Didn’t Drop The Mixtape He Teased And Fans Are Confused

by

Future’s work ethic is legendary. He dropped mixtapes every other month in the mid-2010s, and he just dropped two collab albums with Metro Boomin. You know, the ones that started the Drake and Kendrick Lamar battle. Pluto has thrown shots at the 6 God here and there, but it seemed like he was moving on from the battle to focus on new music. He got on X (formerly Twitter) and set the Freebanz fanbase on fire with two announcements. “May 10” and “Mixtape Pluto.” Even those who practice Foxy Brown math know what this meant: new mixtape on May 10.

Well, it turns out 2 and 2 didn’t make 4. The release date came, and there was no new tape. Instead, Future dropped a new single with Tee Grizzley titled “Swear to God.” The single absolutely slaps, with Future and Grizzley swapping bars over an animated trap beat. The confusion over there being a new mixtape stemmed from the chorus of “Swear to God.”

Future Quoted A Misleading Lyric From His New Single

Future warbles his way through different things he’ll swear to god over, but the takeaway line is: “F*ck your album, shit ain’t slapping like my mixtape.” The rapper tweeted this line a few days before the song dropped, which again made it seem like he had a whole tape ready to go.

It was good promo for “Swear to God,” but it was also a disappointing discovery for fans. Future hasn’t dropped a solo mixtape since Purple Reign in 2016, and a collab tape since Wrld on Drugs in 2018. He’s been in album mode for close to a decade, and fans wanted to hear what he sounded like with a grittier aesthetic. In Future’s defense, his delivery on the new song is definitely “mixtape Pluto” in terms of feel.

Fans Are Disappointed With Future’s Single Rollout

Fan reactions on X were mixed. Some were disappointed that they confused the rollout of a song with a whole tape. “Who tf convinced us that future was droppin a mixtape,” one user wrote. “After droppin back to back solo albums in less than a month.”

Others took a more frustrated approach, and claimed the rapper did a bad job of clarifying what was coming. “Future blew my Friday already,” they added. “Nobody wanted a weak single with Tee grizzley like what. We wanted a mixtape.”

Here are some more fan reactions to get you through the disappointment of having to wait on the next Future tape.
