YG Claims There’s A Lot Of “Weird” Rappers On “Just Re’d Up 3” Single

May 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

YG has had some fans excited over the last few months with a new project that is coming soon. That would happen to be Just Re’d Up 3, the third entry in the series. The Compton, California veteran is continuing the saga of projects 11 years after the second one released in 2013. Its origins trace back to 2011, though. However, for number three, YG is not labeling it as a mixtape, rather a studio album. YG formally announced the record across his social media platforms a few days ago, revealing the cover in progress and estimated drop date. Now, YG is back with its third single “Weird.”

This track follows up on the late April release “KNOCKA,” as well as the 2022 lead single “Miss My Dawgs” with Lil Wayne. YG has been straying away from the G-funk and West Coast hip-hop sounds and opting for more straight-line trap cuts. “KNOCKA” had some elements of his OG style, though, especially with the sample flip. But “Weird” focuses on his older sound, and its sounds like something that would have landed on My Krazy Life.

Listen To “Weird” By YG

On this track, YG is claiming that a lot of people, including unnamed rappers are oddballs. He paints himself as the man on top, especially with bars like these. “Point the .40 at a n**** ’til it click, click, click, click (Click, click) / N****s weird, pillow-talkin’ to h*es / You don’t support the bros, you ain’t livin’ by the code (By the code).” Check out the hyper aggressive cut with the link above.

What are your thoughts on “Weird” by YG? Is this one of his better tracks as of late, why or why not? Does this get you excited for his upcoming project Just Re’d Up 3? Is this the strongest single from the project? 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 YG. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on around the music world.

Quotable Lyrics:

Huh, what? N****s’ b****es
Disrespect us, f***, I’m crossin’ limits
No motion, when y’all pop out, it’s crickets
Comin’ up short in life, you n****s midget (N****s midget)
I don’t wanna hear it, not even a snippet
You ain’t Piru, stop talkin’ Piru business

Rich The Kid Finally Releases “Band Man” Along With Peso Pluma Collab “Gimme A Second”

May 24, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Rich The Kid is the midst of pretty big comeback. The Queens, New York rapper is still riding high off being on one of the biggest records of 2024. That of course is “CARNIVAL” off VULTURES 1. For some, the track came and went. But there is no denying that it was being played everywhere at the time of its release. Now, we are gearing up for Rich The Kid to make his solo return possibly sometime this summer with Life’s a Gamble.

After some pretty underwhelming projects, namely BOSS MAN and Trust Fund Babies, it is clear that he is going big or going home on his third album. Ty Dolla $ign and Kanye West are the executive producers and rumors say there will be a crazy number of features. One of those we know now, as Peso Pluma makes an appearance on “Gimme A Second.” This one of two singles that Rich has put out, with the long-awaited “Band Man” being released in unison.

Listen To “Gimme A Second / Band Man” By Rich The Kid & Peso Pluma

Both tracks do not really stand out from a lyrical perspective, even though Rich has never been seen as a wordsmith. But where both singles shine are production wise, perhaps to no surprise. DJ Durel, “Gimme A Second”, and d.a. got that dope, “Band Man”, both lay down some tight trap instrumentals. Each one has a distinctive vibe and overall carry the tracks. However, we have to give credit to Peso Pluma, as he does bring an animated performance.

What are your thoughts on “Gimme A Second / Band Man” by Rich The Kid and Peso Pluma? Which track do you prefer out of the two and why? Does this get you excited for Life’s a Gamble? Who had the stronger performance on “Gimme A Second?” We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.

Quotable Lyrics From “Gimme A Second”:

Gotta flex a lot
I was broke as hell walkin’ around passin’ CD’s in the parking lot
Now my little b**** want five racks for a new bag ’cause I’m rich enough (Rich enough)
P***y good, had to pay for it, let me knock it out like The Juggernaut (Juggernaut, yeah)
Let me stop (Hold on)

Central Cee & Lil Baby Go “BAND4BAND” On Aggressive Drill Banger

May 24, 2024 by newhiphopnews

You CAN’T RUSH GREATNESS ever. That is certainly the motto that Central Cee has taken up ever since the release of 23 back in 2022. The Shepard’s Bush, London drill rapper has billed himself as one of the UK’s biggest voices over the last few years. He has done so by creating catchy bangers like “Doja” and “Sprinter.” Additionally, you can attribute his success due to his crossovers with the likes of J. Cole, Drake, The Kid LAROI, PinkPantheress, and more.

While singles and features are great, fans, and us at HNHH alike, are still waiting on a new project from Cench. That could be happening sometime this year, with CAN’T RUSH GREATNESS being the speculated title. There is no confirmed information that it will happen this year, but we feel the chance is strong. Cee has been quite active in 2024, dropping his take on R&B with “I Will,” as well as a “CC FREESTYLE,” which has recently been removed from his YouTube page.

Listen To “BAND4BAND” By Central Cee & Lil Baby

His third effort, “BAND4BAND,” sees him and first-time collaborator Lil Baby display seamless chemistry. This dark and aggressive drill/trap cut features a slick flow from Cee, and a solid performance from the ATL native. People have been critical off Baby as of late, including us, but we think this a return to form. “BAND4BAND” is quickly growing in popularity, as it is currently number three on trending for music on YouTube with over 2.2 million views.

What are your thoughts on “BAND4BAND” by Central Cee and Lil Baby? Is this one of Cee’s best songs as of late, why or why not? Do you think Lil Baby gave one of his best features in a while? Does this get you excited for the rumored CAN’T RUSH GREATNESS? 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 Central Cee and Lil Baby. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

Quotable Lyrics:

They hit him up on his birthday, did him the worst way, he had a death wish
I get right under they skin, I don’t even try, I guess I can’t help that s***
I’ma have love for bro for life if we talk or not, I step with ’em
Of course you can beat me at talkin’, ain’t no back and forth, wait ’til we catch up with him
Knockin’ a bag and makin’ the opposite mad, I done fell in love with it
UK Selfridges with a cute one (Ooh)

Metro Boomin Reveals That He Is “Cooking Up” With The Weeknd On Singer’s Next Album

May 22, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It is almost impossible to find a steadier duo than Metro Boomin and The Weeknd. Of course, when you think of the St. Louis producer’s top collaborators, your brain automatically goes to names like Future and 21 Savage. But we would like to argue to that even though they have more experience together, Metro and Abel have never missed. Ever since 2015’s “Low Life” off of Future’s EVOL tape, they have gone on to forge some amazing chemistry. Metro Boomin and The Weeknd really hit their stride when they worked on the R&B icon’s 2020 album, After Hours.

Together they created dark, melodic, dreamy, and intoxicating cuts like “Heartless,” “Until I Bleed Out,” “Faith,” and more. Additionally, Metro also did some work on Starboy, as well as several cuts from The Weeknd’s HBO show The Idol. During that time, they collaborated on “Double Fantasy,” “Popular,” “Take Me Back,” among others. After Abel went full synth pop on his last full-length Dawn FM, the hitmaking duo separated for about year. However, they came back to flip Mario’s classic “I Don’t Wanna Know” with “Creepin’” on HEROES & VILLAINS.

Metro Says He’s Got More Heat In The Vault With The Weeknd

Finally, they kept the hot streak going on Metro and Future’s sister records WE DON’T TRUST YOU and WE STILL DON’T TRUST YOU. While the acclaimed beat maker has come through on his end by dropping records, The Weeknd has taken some time off. But his next endeavor could be coming soon, as evidenced from the interview clip above with Metro. In a chat in front of what appears to be the Kundalini Pyramids, he revealed that he was “cooking up” some beats for Abel. He mentioned to Rap Caviar how far they have come and how they are “family,” so we can only expect that some serious home cooking is in store down the line.

What are your thoughts on Metro Boomin saying he is working on the upcoming record from The Weeknd? What is there best song together and why? How should The Weeknd should approach his next LP sonically? Is this Metro’s most consistent collaborator, why or why not? 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 Metro Boomin and The Weeknd. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

CyHi Spits Fire During His “On The Radar” Freestyle, Hypes Up Forthcoming Album

May 22, 2024 by newhiphopnews

CyHi, formerly known as CyHi The Prynce, has got to be one of the rap game’s most unheralded lyricists. He does not drop all that often, which probably hurts his case. But he is without a doubt one of the sharpest writers of the last 10 years at least. Recently, CyHi stopped by for an “On The Radar” freestyle, to remind everyone how special he is.

The Georgia-born rapper and songwriter stepped up to the mic to give us bar after bar for five minutes straight. Outside of his effortless rapping, CyHi impressively switches up his style when the beat transitions halfway through. On the first half, the No Dope On Sundays MC spits over a more hype instrumental, whereas the backend strips things back and slows down. Hopefully, fans will get this type of dynamic spitting on his forthcoming record.

Listen To “On The Radar” Freestyle By CyHi

According to HipHopDX, CyHi is inching closer and closer toward dropping The Story of Mr. EGOT. It would be just his third overall LP and first since the aforementioned No Dope On Sundays. That dropped all the way back in 2017, so it has certainly been a hot minute. We perhaps got the first taste of the album back in 2022 with the EGOT the EP.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new “On The Radar” freestyle from CyHi? Is he one of the best, yet underrated writers the game has ever seen, why or why not? Where does this rank amongst the freestyles you have heard this year? Does this get you excited for his upcoming album The Story Of EGOT? 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 CyHi.

Quotable Lyrics:

What would all these rappers sound like if I turned the well off
I could never fail, even if I fell off
The feds will be at my door if I wrote a tell-all
If I ain’t worth the wait then your scale off

Common Slices & Dices A Killer Boom-Bap Beat From Pete Rock On “Wise Up”

May 22, 2024 by newhiphopnews

“Y’all gon’ think I’m just talking. But this new Pete Rock joint. I’ma see y’all when I come back, whenever I’m back, and y’all can tell me if I’m bulls***tin’ or not. “It’s in my top. I’ve had a couple people coming in saying, ‘Yo, this is one of your best albums.’ So, I’m excited about it.” Those were the words of Common at a MusiCares panel in Santa Monica on April 22 when divulging on an upcoming project with acclaimed producer Pete Rock.

Outside of that we do not have a ton of information on the record just yet. However, what we can reveal is that Common and Pete are titling this project The Auditorium and that the lead single is here! Just moments ago, the 90’s icons released “Wise Up” with a beautifully shot music video. If the chorus sample sounds familiar to any hip-hop heads out there, it is because Pete flipped MC Shan’s “The Bridge.”

Listen To “Wise Up” By Common & Pete Rock

It is a masterfully produced single and it shows that Pete Rock has still got it. Additionally, Common delivers a hungry and philosophical performance. “His is on the streets, mines is over instrumentals
The Lord sent my mental to be more than sentimental / The ventricles that I vent through are temples of what I been through. ” If this project drops this year, we are in for a real treat.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single “Wise Up” by Common and Pete Rock? Does this get you excited for their rumored upcoming album The Auditorium? Is Common still one of the best lyricists of all time, why or why not? What aspect of the track is your favorite?

Pedigree of a legacy that’s stolen (Huh)

KAYTRANADA Releases Extended Album Version Of “Lover/Friend” With Rochelle Jordan

May 22, 2024 by newhiphopnews

KAYTRANADA is one of the very best producers of this generation. A big reason why he has built out such a great career is because of his ability to be a chameleon. He can effortlessly blend into almost any genre imaginable and it why we are so thrilled for his next full-length. KAYTRANADA will be coming through with his first solo album since 2019’s BUBBA during the first full week of June. It will be titled Timeless, and you can stream it on the 7th.

Of course, he did come through with the collaborative effort KAYTRAMINE during the summer of 2023 with rapper and singer Amine. But ending this solo drought is a big deal and the Haitian-Canadian producer is celebrating it by going all out with the features. According to Genius, he is grabbing guests like Don Toliver, Tinashe, Anderson .Paak, SiR, Childish Gambino, and more. With all of the incredible firepower, this is sure to be one of the best summer albums of the year.

Listen To “Lover/Friend” By KAYTRANADA & Rochelle Jordan

But before we get the LP, KAYTRANADA has a single to bring out first. It is titled “Lover/Friend,” and that name might sound familiar to you. The Rochelle Jordan collab was a part of a four-track EP that released at the end of November 2023. It included the other eventual promotional single “Stuntin” with Channel Tres, as well as each track’s instrumentals. So, what is the reason for the reissue of “Lover/Friend?” This is the extended album version, as the single edition was 3:32. This update provides an extra 47 seconds and has slightly different mixing. You can hear what we mean by checking it out above.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new version of “Lover/Friend” by KAYTRANADA and Rochelle Jordan? Do you prefer this rendition over the single edition, why or why not? Does this get you excited for KAYTRANADA’s upcoming album Timeless? Is this the better promotional single over “Stuntin” with Channel Tres? 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 KAYTRANADA.

No one has to lose

Hit-Boy, Big Hit, & The Alchemist Link With HitgirlLena For “Black & Whites” Single “Gank Move”

May 21, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Hit-Boy, Big Hit, and The Alchemist have been hyping up their forthcoming collaborative title Black & Whites over the month of May. They have been doing a masterful job at doing so in our eyes. The legendary trio put together a hilarious trailer by calling back to the 90s comedy film Office Space. They recreated the memorable printer smashing scene nearly to a tee and it was a blast to watch. On top of that, Hit-Boy and his crew have put out some solid singles for the project, including this most recent one, “Gank Move.”

This is now marks the third promotional track we have gotten in the last three weeks. Firstly, The father/son duo and Uncle Al dropped “Foreclosure” just a day after the teaser trailer. Second was the self-titled cut, which saw Al and Big Hit lyrically spar effectively. Now, we have “Gank Move,” which did not get any promotion from any of the album’s creators.

Listen To “Gank Move” By Hit-Boy, Big Hit, The Alchemist, & HitgirlLena

What the previous two offerings had in common was zero inclusion from any guests. However, that all changes this time around, as HitgirlLena joins the fray. This collab appears to have been coming at some point, as evidenced by her Instagram page. She posted a pic with Big Hit and Hit-Boy several weeks ago, which possibly prompted them to hop in the studio together. You can hear Hit and Lena trade verses with the link above.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single “Gank Move” by Hit-Boy, Big Hit, The Alchemist, and HitgirlLena? Is this the strongest single from Black & Whites, why or why not? Who had the better rapping performance? Will this be one of the better albums of the year, why or why not?

YG Announces “Just Re’d Up 3” & All The Important Details

May 21, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Compton, California rapper YG has kept fairly quiet in terms of his solo material over the last two years or so. However, him and fellow West coaster Tyga did come through with their collaborative “playlist,” Hit Me When U Leave The Klub. It featured a solid hit in “Brand New” thanks to the incredible Lil Wayne verse. But back to the My Krazy Life MC; the last time that he dropped a new solo single was back in early December of 2022 with “Miss My Dawgs” featuring Weezy. He would end the drought late last month with “KNOCKA,” which apparently is the second promo track for the upcoming YG tape Just Re’d Up 3.

The April 26 release was certainly “a knocker a bopper a knocker like choppers” in our eyes. Unfortunately, Bricc Baby did not share the same opinion. He called out YG, essentially telling him to step up his game, as he feels that the young bucks are dropping better material. Well, good thing the G-funk hitmaker announced Just Re’d Up 3. This is a great chance to shut up Bricc Baby, and any other possible hater out there.

YG Continues The Re’d Up Series Over 10 Years Later

YG fans will know that he started this mixtape series back in 2011 and put out the sequel in 2013. Now, just over a decade later, the 34-year-old, is completing the trilogy. According to HipHopNMore, he revealed the release date (July 3), as well as the possibly unfinished album cover on X. That is the big surprise here; apparently this will be classified as a studio album, not a mixtape like the previous entries.

What are your thoughts on YG announcing Just Re’d Up 3 as an album instead of a mixtape? Do you think this the best entry in the series, why or why not? Could this be his best release as of late? Who do you want to see on the project and why? Is “KNOCKA” still in your rotation? 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 YG. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

May 19, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Your Old Droog is one the grittiest New York rappers your ears will ever hear. That is saying a lot, given how many blue-collar MCs come from there. His deliberate flow makes it easy to dissect every bar and entendre he spits at you. Today, Your Old Droog is back with another one of those cutthroat records called “Mercury Thermometers.” This is his latest offering, and it follows up on a handful of stellar features over the last couple of weeks. “DBZ” with Method Man, Denzel Curry and Madlib was one hell of a team-up and has quickly risen to the top of Droog’s most popular tracks on Spotify.

Another song that has been hitting for him has been “REEKYOD.” Another Madlib-backed track, Zel’s spot is swapped for another icon, Black Thought. While they are not his tracks, Droog still brings it to each offering, but that should not be a surprise. “Mercury Thermometers” is his track though, and it is also a lead single for a new project coming soon.

Listen To “Mercury Thermometers” By Your Old Droog & Conductor Williams

According to Stereogum, Your Old Droog will be releasing his first album since 2021’s Space Bar called Movie. All we know is that “Mercury Thermometers” is the promo cut and that it is expected to drop next month. Oh, and we have word on one feature so far, which is the prolific producer Conductor Williams. He produced this single, and the beat is straight boom-bap nastiness. Check out the record with the link above.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single “Mercury Thermometers” by Your Old Droog and Conductor Williams? Does this song get you excited for his upcoming album Movie, why or why not? Is this one of his stronger releases of his late? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.
