Many recording artists, including Beyoncé, Eminem, and Big Sean, have crafted music inspired by their children. But it is a whole separate can of worms to create songs for kids. The minds behind Apple TV’s Yo Gabba GabbaLand! has found a happy medium.

Today (August 9), the official soundtrack for season of the children’s show, and it is surprisingly stacked. With special featured appearances from Big Daddy Kane, Anderson .Paak, Thundercat, The Linda Lindas, Kurt Vile, and Claud, there’s something for both parent and child to enjoy.

Check out the .Paak-featuring “We’re All Connected” above and continue below for the soundtrack cover art and tracklist.

Questlove And Quinta Brunson Threw A Dream Game Night With Thundercat, Willow, Vince Staples, Weird Al, And Many, Many More

Questlove is an amazingly accomplished artist, with six Grammy Awards, an Academy Award, and a slew of books and movies to his name. Likewise, fellow Philadelphian multihyphenate Quinta Brunson has a ton of hardware adorning her shelf, with an Emmy Award to go alongside multiple(!) Peabody Awards.

You’d think that these would be pretty serious people, but everyone needs to unwind sometime — and, in their case, they equally overachieve with their game nights as with anything else, putting on a party of epic proportions with a guest list that reads like a dream blunt rotation.

In addition to fellow Abbott Elementary stars Ayo Edibiri (who plays Quinta’s character’s sister), Cree Summer, and Zack Fox (who plays Quinta’s character’s ex), the guests included music stars like Eryn Allen Kane, Finneas, Jason Sudeikis, Jojo, Kelly Rowland, LL Cool J, Maggie Rogers, Steve Lacy, Thundercat, Vince Staples, Willow, and even Weird Al Yankovic. I’d ask what a brother has to do to get an invite, but it seems pretty obvious: Get nominated for a Grammy or two, shift the paradigms of popular music, or be one of the most talented humans alive. You can check out some photos from the hosts below.

JasonMartin And DJ Quik Make Magic On New Album “CHUPACABRA”

by

JasonMartin and DJ Quik are as Cali as it gets. They may come from different generations, but they shared a love for G-funk and smooth, feel-good music to play in the car. It doesn’t hurt that Quik is a literal G-funk pioneer. A good match on paper doesn’t always meet the results live up to the hype, but JasonMartin and DJ Quik arguably surpass expectations. They create an album that feels familiar and smooth, while at the same time distinct from their solo material. CHUPACABRA might be one of the top West Coast albums of 2024.

Part of the reason CHUPACABRA is so listenable is the musicality. The music is funky, unpredictable, and more experimental than one might expect. “CHUPA’S GROOVE” is a perfect example. It’s an instrumental passage with a bubbly bassline from Thundercat. It transcends rap conventions, yet feels right at home next to verses from Larry June and Bun B. The latter sounds excellent over the synth-heavy “Since I Was Lil.” There are too many guest verses to sift through here, but rest assured that everybody brings their A-game on CHUPACABRA. Ab-Soul is head-spinningly cool on “SOUL CIRCUS”, and CeeLo brings the grit of a classic soul sample on “DITTO.” Try to find a flaw on CHUPACABRA, and you’ll be looking for a long time.

Let us know what you think of this brand-new track, in the comments section down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will continue to keep you informed on all of your favorite artists and their upcoming projects.

NxWorries And Thundercat Turn Heartbreak Into Gold With Their New Collab, ‘KeepHer’

by

After eight years, Anderson .Paak and Knxwledge have reunited NxWorries. Tonight (June 14), as NxWorries, the singer-producer duo has shared their second joint album, Why Lawd? on streaming platforms. Maintaining a groovy, soulful flow throughout the album, the pair enlisted Thundercat for the forlorn “KeepHer.”

On “KeepHer,” Thundercat supplies the guitar vibes throughout the song, and blesses the background with gorgeous vocals. He opens the song, setting the scene for a story of opulence and heartache.

“They say you gonna pay either way / And if this was made to be / It’s such a lovely dream / Why would you wanna wake me up?,” Thundercat sings in the intro.

Though neither artist refers to anyone by name, the song was likely inspired by Paak’s divorce from Jaylyn Chang, which was reported earlier this year.

Paak learns the hard way that money on its own isn’t enough to keep a good woman around.

“Jetlag when you show up / Coolin’ with a chauffeur / All I wanna do is spoil ya / But you know that the money won’t keep her,” sings Paak on the song’s chorus.

“KeepHer” marks one of Paak’s most poignant and self-aware songs, but showcases his ability to turn heartache into gold.

You can listen to “KeepHer” above.

Why Lawd? is out now via Stones Throw. Find more information here.

KAYTRANADA Manages To Top Himself With New Album “TIMELESS”

by

KAYTRANADA is giving Metro Boomin a run for his money. The latter might have more hit singles under his belt, but KAYTRANADA has proven to be one of the most versatile and adventurous producers of the last few decades. There isn’t a sound or a style he isn’t comfortable with, and he always seems to bring out the best in his collaborators. It helps, of course, that he’s able to attract some of the most exciting names in hip-hop and R&B. Timeless is his first solo album since 2019, and it was well worth the wait.

The biggest guest features on the album deliver. Childish Gambino dips back into his “Redbone” bag with the bouncy, constantly mutating funk jam “Witchy.” KAYTRANADA and Childish Gambino seemed like a great fit on paper, and it’s satisfying to see them deliver on what was easily the most anticipated song. PinkPantheress’ airy vocals mesh perfectly with KAYTRANADA’s jittery production on “Snap My Finger,” while Anderson .Paak and SiR add tons of gritty charisma to the Neptunes-laced instrumental “Do 2 Me.” There are a few missteps, like the overly cutesy “Wasted Words” with Thundercat, but the album hits way more often than it misses, as evidenced by standouts like “Drip Sweat” and “Hold On.”

Let us know what you think of this brand-new track, in the comments section down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will continue to keep you informed on all of your favorite artists and their upcoming projects.

One week ago, NxWorries — Anderson .Paak and Knxwledge — announced the release date for their long-awaited second group album, Why Lawd?, with the music video for “86Sentra.” The album is the follow-up to their 2016 debut, Yes, Lawd!, which became an instant underground classic upon its release. Today, they shared the cover and tracklist, along with features including Dave Chappelle, Earl Sweatshirt, HER, Rae Khalil, Snoop Dogg and his new artist October London, and Thundercat.

From the tracklist, it’s now confirmed that the album will feature the previously released tracks “Where I Go” with HER and “Daydreaming.” On their social media, the duo revealed that the album would be released on vinyl, CD, and limited numbers of cassette tapes, which you can preorder now on the Stones Throw Records web store. There’ll be multiple versions of the vinyl, including one with a special-edition cover designed by Rhymezlikedimez, the animator behind their “86Sentra” video. The cassettes will only be available on June 13.

Why Lawd? is due on June 14 via Stones Throw Records.

NxWorries Reveals Star-Studded Tracklist For New Album “Why Lawd?”

by

NxWorries are a versatile duo. Anderson .Paak and Knxwledge have worked with tons of musical titans since they released their debut album in 2018, so it should come as no surprise that they called in some of their famous connections for the follow-up, Why Lawd?. It was already going to be exciting to see how .Paak and Knxwledge interacted given the gap between releases, but throwing in legends from the R&B, hip-hop and comedy (!) world is bound to attract curious listeners.

Why Lawd? runs 19 tracks, which is the same length as the first NxWorries album, Yes Lawd. The first album had no guest features, however, whereas Why Lawd? kicks off with an introducing featuring none other than Dave Chappelle. The tracklist gets wilder from there, as Thundercat drops by on “KeepHer”, H.E.R. pops up on “Where I Go,” and Snoop Dogg splits the bill on “FromHere.” Nobody expected to see an Earl Sweatshirt and Anderson .Paak collab anytime soon, yet that’s exactly what fans are going to get on the penultimate track, “WalkOnBy.” Why Lawd? will also feature two appearances by Rae Khalil. Rae is an R&B artists who recently signed to Def Jam through .Paak’s Apesh*t label.

“Why Lawd?” releases on June 7, 2024

.Paak discussed his decision to revive NxWorries during a recent interview with The Root. He asserted that he wants to constantly challenge himself as an artist, and pushing himself to try new things with Knxwledge was an exciting prospect. “I don’t like to be comfortable,” the singer explained. “I like to push for different sounds and I feel like me and Knxwledge’s sound, NxWorries, is really needed right now.”

What are your thoughts on this tracklist for NxWorries’ Why Lawd? Do you think it will top their first album? Who will have the best appearance on the record? Will this be the best release for each member of the duo? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to tell us in the comments below.

Kamasi Washington Announces ‘Fearless Movement,’ His First Album In Years, As Well As 2024 Tour Dates

by

It’s been a minute since we’ve gotten new Kamasi Washington, as his most recent album is 2018’s Heaven And Earth. His comeback is nigh, though: Today (March 6), he announced the upcoming release of Fearless Movement, a new album. He also shared a video for “Prologue.”

Washington recruited a strong roster of collaborators for the project, including André 3000 (on flute), George Clinton, BJ The Chicago Kid, Thundercat, Terrace Martin, and more.

Per a press release, Washington calls the project his “dance album,” saying, “It’s not literal. Dance is movement and expression, and in a way it’s the same thing as music — expressing your spirit through your body. That’s what this album is pushing.”

The press release also notes, “Where previous albums dealt with cosmic ideas and existential concepts, Fearless Movement focuses in on the everyday, an exploration of life on earth. This change in scope is due in large part to the birth of Washington’s first child a few years ago.”

Washington adds, “Being a father means the horizon of your life all of a sudden shows up. My mortality became more apparent to me, but also my immortality — realizing that my daughter is going to live on and see things that I’m never going to see. I had to become comfortable with this, and that affected the music that I was making.”

Watch the “Prologue” video above and find the Fearless Movement art and tracklist below. Washington also announced new tour dates, so find those below as well.
