Chance the Rapper Releases Powerful New Single "Together"

Chance the Rapper, renowned for his innovative approach to music and storytelling, has once again captured hearts with his latest release, “Together.” Produced by the legendary DJ Premier, this soul-stirring track celebrates the home-front while presenting a rallying cry to protect it.

The self-directed visual for “Together” centers on lyrics of reminiscence and pride, set against a backdrop of vintage personal home videos and archival footage from community-led political movements through history. Nostalgic clips of block club parties, barbecues, and Black Panther rallies highlight the varying nature of Black communal spaces.

In the first verse, Chance underscores the importance of the community built within the home, while the second verse looks outward, emphasizing the significance of organizing with neighbors. Themes of housing justice, displacement, and gentrification are woven throughout the record.

In a bold move, Chance explicitly calls for a community benefits agreement from former President Barack Obama regarding the development of the new Presidential Library in the residential neighborhood of South Shore in Chicago, IL.

“‘Together’ is really a call to action for Housing Justice in Chicago and abroad,” Chance the Rapper said. “It’s one of the key themes of the Star Line project, and for this song I wanted to try to paint that point with nostalgia rather than trauma.

“Losing granny’s house is a fear and reality a lot of us deal with and instead of lingering on the negatives of that reality I wanted to highlight why those spaces are so important: they’re where we build memories, move family when they need somewhere to stay, raise our kids, do hospice. All of it.”

“Together” is more than just a song; it is a poignant commentary on the necessity of preserving and protecting communal spaces. Chance the Rapper’s latest release continues to solidify his role as an artist deeply connected to his community and committed to advocating for social justice.

Chance The Rapper Calls To Bring The Family ‘Together’ In His New Video

by

Chance The Rapper has been teasing his long-awaited mixtape Star Line/em> for nearly three years. Tonight (May 14), he has given his dedicated fans the latest taste of mixtape. Ahead of the long-awaited Star Line, Chance dropped his new single, “Together.”

On the piano-driven track, produced by the illustrious DJ Premier, Chance calls for unity within his family and within his hometown of Chicago.

“We gotta stick together / Been looking at the puzzle / We gotta fit together / And looking at the struggle / We gotta lift together / And not just on the holidays / We gotta get together / It’s either now or never,” raps Chance on the song’s chorus.

The song’s accompanying video is comprised of clips of home movies featuring Chance and his friends and family. Over the years, Chicago has seen many changes — but amid all of the struggle, Chance’s lifeline has been his loved ones, all of whom, he has kept close, even through the fame.

Last month, Chance took to social media to hint that Star Line will arrive soon. In a clip shared to his Twitter account, fans got a look at a montage of videos, featuring studio sessions and performance rehearsals. Also seen in the clip are Vic Mensa, T-Pain, Lil Wayne, Lil Yachty, Jermaine Dupri, and Jazze Phat — which seems to imply collabs with these artists and producers.

Destiny’s Child Reunites: All Five Members Pose For First Picture Together

by

Destiny’s Child recently set the Internet ablaze after one of its members, LeToya Luckett, posted the group’s first-ever picture of all five main members together. For those unaware, they went through various lineup changes throughout their history together, and they recently met up for the RENAISSANCE film’s world premiere from Beyoncé. We thought that was all, but we just got this special new treat on Wednesday (January 3) to witness. It seems like this was a particularly thankful post from Luckett about her year as a whole that championed this as one of its best moments.

“ALL LOVE,’ LeToya Luckett wrote on Instagram as the picture’s caption, which sees Destiny’s Child posing in silver, black, and white fits. “This was hands down my favorite moment of 2023. The Love, The joy, The Prayer, The Healing. May we all experience beautiful moments like this in 2024 @beyonce @kellyrowland @iamlatavia @michellewilliams. All of the Chilren.” The superstar R&B group began as Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland, and Luckett, and LaTavia Roberson. Michelle Williams and Farrah Franklin replaced Luckett and Roberson in 2000, and after Franklin left after five months, this formed their most successful lineup.

Destiny’s Child Poses Together For The First Time In New Picture

Furthermore, this caveat is why Franklin doesn’t appear in this picture, although this doesn’t seem to be a combative departure or omission. Regardless, it’s amazing to see Destiny’s Child come together after decades of greatness, especially amid certain rumors in the mill. Back in May of 2023, Beyoncé’s father Matthew Knowles teased a potential reunion album. While he clarified that the decision rests solely within the current lineup, as their manager, he expresses his wholehearted support of the hypothetical moment.

Meanwhile, back in 2022, the music executive explained why Beyoncé’s sister, Solange, never joined the group. “You would think joining [the group] would be a dream to her,” he shared on social media. “She had every opportunity to seize the success that the group was experiencing. And Solange’s desires and faith in herself trumped my personal desires for her. You see, I realized then that she had an unmatched character and an unwavering belief in herself. Me as a father could never get in the way of that. I finally supported and encouraged her decision. I didn’t fight against it anymore.” For more news and the latest updates on Destiny’s Child, keep checking in with HNHH.

Wack 100 Questions Boosie Badazz & Webbie’s Recent Pic, Calls Them Out Amid Beef

by

Wack 100 and Boosie Badazz don’t get along, a relationship status that formed after the latter spoke out against Kodak Black and the former’s artist 6ix9ine collaborating on a song. The snitching conversation around the rainbow-haired rapper will seemingly never end, and it’s caused Wack to get caught up in the backlash from it. However, it seems like now the music executive is taking other, more petty avenues to keep going at the Baton Rouge MC. Recently, a new picture emerged of Boosie hanging out with Webbie, one of his closest frenemies in hip-hop. By insinuating some casual homophobia in his response, Wack made many raise eyebrows and think that he’s making a mountain out of a molehill.

“#BadLook S**ts getting weird these days,” Wack 100 wrote of the Boosie and Webbie pic, adding the eyes emoji. “I know y’all see what I see … But ima go on mute catch the convo on @clubhouse On The 100 Side.” Turns out pretty much nobody saw what Wack saw, as responses to this assumption ranged from uncaring to befuddled. “I dont see nothing wrong yall just be thinking suspect,” one user commented under coverage of this post.

Wack 100 Blasts Boosie & Webbie

Moreover, Boosie and Webbie actually go way back, as they started making music together over twenty years ago. As two Baton Rouge natives who closely came up in the same scene, their bond was almost destined to manifest. Still, their relationship did evolve over time, and for a while there, they actually had beef of their own. It seems like things got much better since then, but it’s nonetheless curious to see how they held each other in wildly different regards throughout their careers.

Meanwhile, this is just one of a few feuds on Wack’s plate right now, and a relatively small one at the end of the day. After all, Boosie’s ire is for the 6ix9ine and Kodak, mostly, and this is more of an association-based battle. Regardless, we’re sure there will be more to define these rap figures’ interactions and bonds in the future. With that in mind, keep checking in with HNHH for the latest news and updates on Wack 100, Boosie Badazz, and Webbie.

Quavo & Chlöe Grab Lunch Together

by

When you’re a big celebrity like Quavo or Chlöe, even the smallest interaction will have fans clamoring for a relationship online. Moreover, rumors of a romance between the two Atlanta natives followed them a lot in recent weeks. Most recently, another piece of “evidence” popped up online after onlookers spotted the two grabbing lunch together. Of course, a simple meal outing with two people usually isn’t enough grounds to call it a fling for any normal pair of individuals. However, given what’s been flying around social media as of late, we can’t blame fans for connecting the dots and assuming they’re together.

Still, the R&B singer (kind of) denied these claims while talking to Latto on her Apple Music 1 show, 777 Radio. While she said she doesn’t know where people got that from, they also joked about the rumor at length. When they finished, Chlöe just said that he was a “really nice guy” and the two expressed admiration for his loss. Throughout their conversation, the Bailey sister didn’t really deny anything outright, and instead simply made the connection that they were costars on the film Praise This.

Chlöe & Quavo On A Lunch Outing

Despite those denials, the two popped out together on multiple occasions. For example, they partied after Chlöe’s tour stop in Atlanta at a club, which for many is evidence enough despite the obvious interpretation that they were just hanging out. Another example is when they appeared together on Complex‘s “GOAT Talk” series, where Quavo took her aback with his dating advice. In that case, people could chalk that up to sheer promotion, taking advantage from dating rumors of two costars of a film during its press run.

No matter what’s going on with Quavo and Chlöe, they most likely know exactly what they are doing with these appearances. Hopefully the two are still able to enjoy each other’s company without paparazzi or social media users breathing down their throats, whether as partners or as friends. Regardless, fans will still be ready to hear every morsel until there’s a strict denial or confirmation. With that in mind, return to HNHH for the latest on these Atlanta artists.
