Toosii Brings His Signature Melding Of R&B & Trap On “JADED”

October 4, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Toosii is an underrated master of nailing catchy melodies in the R&B/trap space. Granted, it might be because he’s only been in the industry for about four years. But overall, he’s someone you are going to want to stay tapped into moving into the rest of the 2020s decade. He’s got some elements of Gunna and Bryson Tiller, so if you are into those artists, that’s another reason to check out what he’s got cooking. Speaking of which Toosii is cheffing up those exact vibes on his newest album, JADED. This follows up his June 2023 offering NAUJOUR, which is led by his most popular song to date, “Favorite Song”.

Across JADED, you are getting nonchalant Toosii that’s pushing any sort of feelings (especially of true love) down. Yes, there are some love cuts within the 13-songs. However, they are more about lust and sneaky links. Most of the time, the Raleigh, North Carolina native is rapping about reaching his own goals and living lavishly. “Champs Elysees”, one of the lead-off tracks featuring Gunna, is an example of this. Speaking of singles, “Fuk You Mean” is the only other song to have been released prior to JADED. There are some duds in the tracklist such as “She Doesn’t Mind”. But for the most part, Toosii does have more W’s than L’s here. Give it a try with the links below to see how you’re vibing with it.

JADED – Toosii

JADED Tracklist:

Meet Me Outside
Champs Elysees (feat. Gunna)
She Doesn’t Mind
Fuk You Mean

Toosii Discusses Shaq Infamously Entering His Girlfriend’s DMs

October 4, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Earlier this year, North Carolina rapper Toosii had a brief one-sided beef with NBA Hall of Famer Shaquille O’Neal. Shaq, who’s been living the bachelor life since getting divorced in 2011, is infamous for his willingness to approach women. He sent Toosii’s girlfriend Samaria Davis a message that read “can I have that baby.” As there was no punctuation in Shaq’s message, Toosii interpreted it as Shaq asking for his son. Toosii blasted Shaq for the message, calling him a “weird ass oldhead.” He later walked it back when he realized what Shaq actually meant, but still criticized him for sliding into his girlfriend’s DMs.

In a new interview with The Breakfast Club, Charlamagne asked Toosii about the spat, and he explained his thought process. “When I read that, I thought he was talking about my son. If I had known he was talking about my BM, on God, I never would’ve said that,” Toosii said. When DJ Envy asked if they spoke after, Toosii confirmed they had not had a conversation. He pointed to Shaq’s net worth and social status as reasons why the two have never been able to speak.

Toosii also explained that his girlfriend Samaria Davis, who is a model with over a million Instagram followers and recently launched a YouTube channel, always shows him who tries to slide into her DMs. He never felt threatened by Shaq or concerned that she would accept his offer, but he was more offended that Shaq even asked the question at all, if his words on the Breakfast Club interview are to be believed.

Toosii released his latest album, Jaded, on October 4. The 36-minute album features appearances from Kehlani, Muni Long, and Gunna, the latter of whom delivered a smooth feature on the track “Champs Elysses.” He made the rounds on New York hip-hop stations to promote it, including an appearance on Hot 97 that came shortly after his interview with Charlamagne, Envy, and Jess Hilarious. The full half-hour interview is available to listen to on The Breakfast Club‘s YouTube channel.

Toosii & Gunna Are A Perfect Match On Melodic “Champs Elysees”

September 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

New York/North Carolina raised rapper and singer Toosii is back with “Champs Elysees”, a new single featuring Gunna. This is the first time that these two artists have crossed paths, which is kind of a shocker. Both possess the ability to rap melodically at a high level in addition to sharing similar tastes when it comes to production. Like his new album, a Toosii and Gunna collab is long overdue. It seems as that “Champs Elysees” will be landing on an upcoming album for the “Favorite Song” MC in just about a month.

According to Genius, Toosii will be launching JADED on October 4, with “Fuk You Mean” being the lead-off track. Overall, Toosii and Gunna really do their thing over this soulful and luxurious trap beat. The main attraction has a catchy stop-and-go flow right from the opening lines of the sticky chorus that open up the record. Gunna similarly tackles the instrumental well with his signature auto-tune-tinged vocals. Besides being a head-nodding tune, Toosii and Gunna are also delivering some uplifting bars about chasing what they want in life. For example, Gunna raps, “The mansion in the hills, I need a few more / Five hundred Ms, I’m tryna reach the goal“.

“Champs Elysees” – Toosii & Gunna

Quotable Lyrics:

Yeah, go, uh
Look how I’m reachin’ my goals
Whip it, uh, whip it, uh
This here came right off the stove, uh
Champs, Élysées, uh, she wanna shop for some clothes, uh
I told her, ”Baby, you know what it is, I’m ’bout to put you in Vogue,” uh

Toosi Explains Himself After Revealing Shaq DMed His Girl

May 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Shaquille O’Neal caused a stir on social media when he flaunted his considerably younger girlfriend. Rapper Toosii harbors some animosity for the NBA star. Recent photos of Shaq and his 21-year-old girlfriend enjoying a ton of fun in Spain may have set Toosii off and reminded him of a run-in with the NBA Hall of Famer. He accused Shaq of making advances against his girlfriend Samaria Davis around eighteen months prior, sending her a direct message asking, “Can I have that baby?” he has now clarified the situation.

Toosii had already uploaded evidence of the interaction, which he obviously thought was inappropriate and disrespectful to him. A few months after Toosii and Samaria’s baby Ezrah was born, in November 2022, the DM was sent. He did not feel Shaq’s response to a photo of the mother and child. Now he is backtracking, saying he misunderstood the DM and took it out of context. He is still confused by the situation, judging from his response.

Toosi Goes Into Detail About Shaq Dming His Girl

A post shared by The Neighborhood Talk (@theneighborhoodtalk)

Now Toosi says he posted the DM because he thought Shaq was talking about his child. He implied it was Shaq trying to holler at his girl but now says that was never the case. He clarified that he posted it because he thought it was weird that Shahq mentioned his child. Toosi sasy men are going to DM your girl, so he isn’t tripping over Shaq trying to get with her. He then weirdly says he doesn’t want Shaq to get with her because he is a giant man, and his girl is very tiny. He may have got some pushback and tried to save face. His entire clarification is pretty confusing, as he clearly thought Shaq was after his woman.

Shaq’s previous relationships have been on the news this week. His ex-girlfriend, Moneice Slaughter, detailed the big man’s cheating habits, revealing he cheated on her with Rocsi Diaz and Hoopz. His ex-wife Shaunie Henderson revealed in her book that she doesn’t know if she truly loved her ex-husband, who also allegedly cheated on her multiple times. Overall, Shaq is a ladies’ man, and it wouldn’t be surprising if his DM to Toosi’s girl was him breaking the ice.

Pressa And Toosii Flex Their Success On “W Hotel”

January 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Canada and North Carolina talents have just merged to bring a perfect track for those chill late nights. Pressa and Toosii, two rappers who have been in the game for about 13 years in total are meeting for the first time. Their respective abilities have formed a new single called “W Hotel.” For both of these auto-crooners, this is the first single that they have been a part of in 2024.

For Pressa, the Toronto native, this is his first track since November of 2023. Back then, he dropped a solo cut called “Pressalicious,” another chill and dance-ready vibe. This song may make a nice comeback for the summer of 2024 because its release during the winter just did not fit the timeline. On the feature side of things, Toosii is returning after dropping “IDGAF.”

Listen To “W Hotel” By Pressa & Toosii

“W Hotel” is a song about wealth, girls, and street life. Nothing out of the ordinary whatsoever topically, but it gets the job done. The best part about the cut is the beat. However, fans seem to like it. Pressa shared a post from Spotify on his Instagram showing how many streams it racked up since its release just yesterday. At the time of the post, it was already over 63,000 streams. Maybe you will enjoy it more than us. Go give it a try with the link above.

Put me all on my feels, won’t text her
Ayy, Pressa (Yo, Crodie)
Yeah, I’m at the top of the W, I got some h**s tryna link with the homies

Toosii Has An “IDGAF” Attitude On His New Single

December 10, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Toosii’s growth as an artist since he came into the industry back in 2018 has been exciting. He is only a 23-year-old which is another component to all of this. He has so much more room to grow, especially with his dabbling in rapping and singing. In 2023, he has been putting in work to solidify these skills.

In early June, Toosii came out with maybe his best full listen to date with NAUJOR. It is named after his government name, Nau’Jour Grainger. It featured one of his biggest and best songs, “Favorite Song.” He is already gearing up for another project soon to come.

Listen To “IDGAF” By Toosii

On Genius, they have JADED being listed as released in November. It still is not here yet, but hopefully, it will come soon. We have a new single from the album, called “IDGAF.” It is an extremely personal and uplifting track about loving yourself, removing toxicity, and also working hard for everything even if it means failing. It features some solid vocal work from Toosii as well, adding to the emotional weight.

What are your initial thoughts on this brand-new single, “IDGAF,” by Toosii? Is this one of the best tracks he has ever released, why or why not? Do you prefer when he sings or raps on a track? Does this song have you excited for his upcoming project, JADED? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your hottest takes in the comments section below. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest breaking news around Toosii. Furthermore, stay with us for all of the best song drops throughout the week.

Quotable Lyrics:

Other than that, a h* can’t get no love from a G
Ain’t it crazy how the moment life feel so amazing
Things can turn around and you left there just feelin’ naked?
Bakin’, abandoned, stranded, all alone
That’s the reason I don’t come out and stay inside my home
I got this thing with myself, you fool me once, shame on you

Drake Responds To “Aubrey Angel” Who Doesn’t Feel His New Music

October 13, 2023 by newhiphopnews

In a recent interview of The Breakfast Club, they invited a woman calling herself an “Aubrey Angel,” onto the show to discuss Drake. She claims to be a day 1 stan from all the way back when it “wasn’t cool” to like the rapper. In the segment, she explains that since his 2016 album Views, she just hasn’t been able to feel his music as much. While that’s a sentiment expressed by some, her comments were largely met with disagreement. Eventually, the discussion got heated enough that Drake himself weighed in.

“was this interview already on the schedule? Who is this…” Drake commented underneath a post of the clip. Expectedly, fans of the rapper rushed to his defense. They called her out for being just one person with an opinion and pointed out that she didn’t represent all his fans. Rapper and singer Toosii took to the comments to weigh in on Drizzy’s side as well. “People have this thing where they paint this definitive picture in their head that the artist you were 5 years ago that’s who you always are. People change, things change. He can make the same kind of music but how is that going to resonate to your now mid 30 year old body?” he said. Check out the full response and fan reactions below.

Drake just released his new album For All The Dogs. The project is expected to be absolutely dominant commercially, as most of his projects are. The record itself is a shoe in to top the Billboard 200 and expected to push almost as many units as the rest of the top 10 combined.

Two songs from the album are also competing with each other on the Hot 100. “First Person Shooter” with J. Cole and “IDGAF” with Yeat are both contending for the top spot. After “Shooter” emerged as the early favorite “IDGAF” began to creep up and the songs are now neck and neck. What do you think of Drake and Toosii’s responses to a fan saying she fell off his music after Views? Let us know in the comment section below.

Rod Wave Says His Album ‘Nostalgia’ is a Form of Therapy: ‘I Went Through a Lot of Real Life Stuff’

September 21, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Rod Wave 'Nostalgia' Projected for 140K First Week and No. 1 Spot

Rod Wave pulled up on Nick and Eddie for Rap Life Radio on Apple Music 1 and talked about his fifth studio album, Nostalgia. In conversation, Rod Wave detailed the album as therapy.

“The music just therapy, bro. I just went through a lot of real life stuff,” Wave said. “A lot of stuff that I’ve just been going through on this journey, period, made me just appreciate the journey. It’s not the destination. It’s not where you’re going. It’s the time that you’re having while you’re doing it. I remember just doing little small shows with four, 500 people like, “Damn, I can’t wait til I’m in arenas,” and, “Damn, dog. I remember when I was like …” you know what I’m saying? Instead of just living in that moment with the people who was around me at the time. Because none of them people around me no more.

“My life is totally different…it’s just life, bro. So now I just want to appreciate the people who is around me, because two, three years from now, you never know, you know what I’m saying? Just going through it. I didn’t have to meditate or nothing. Just being aware of your surroundings, bro, and understanding what’s going on right in front of you.”

Rod Wave is eyeing another No. 1 debut with Nostalgia. According to chart rumors and updates, Wave is expected to bring in 130,000-140,000 copies of his new album, becoming the third-biggest rap debut of the year.

Nostalgia’s projected total would also top his personal best, Soulfly, which moved 130,000 in the first week.
