Denzel Curry Reveals Upcoming Project Will Be A Collab Album

by

Denzel Curry just took to Twitter to tease that his next project will be a collab album, which should get fans rabid for more information. Moreover, the Miami rapper addressed previous hints that his next album would be Designed By Angels. According to Curry, his next album will no longer be that, but rather a collaborative effort titled ULT Or Die. While he didn’t say when or with who this album would be releasing, he did give fans a mission. After teasing them, he asked fans to bring his song “Walkin” past 60 million streams on Spotify, and if they do, he’ll spill the beans.

“AT THIS POINT RIGHT NOW DESIGNED BY ANGELS WILL NOT BE THE NEXT ALBUM,” he tweeted early Friday morning (March 10). “THE COLLAB TAPE WILL BE THE NEXT THING THAT DROPS BUT I DONT KNOW WHEN. IT MIGHT IN A YEAR IT MIGHT BE TONIGHT WHO KNOWS. ULT OR DIE COLLAB TAPE COMING SOON WITH… NONE OF YO GAWTDAMN BUSINESS. GET THIS PAST 60 MILLION AND ILL LET YOU HEAR WHAT IM WORKING ON.“

Denzel Curry Teases Collab Album

Of course, it’s not like the “CLOUT COBAIN” MC has stayed completely silent since last year’s excellent Melt My Eyez See Your Future. Not only did he release an expanded edition of the album with soulful and jazzy live instrumentation, but he’s been on quite the feature run. His most recent venture was assisting midwxst’s “Tally,” which showed him on his typical cold, smooth flows. As one of the most consistently impressive artists working today, anything he drops is a treat for hip-hop fans.

Still, that doesn’t mean that he should be complacent with the success and acclaim he’s already experienced and received. Moreover, he expressed disappointment in the Grammy nominations in rap categories this year. Not only did they miss out on his album, but also the greatness of JID, Freddie Gibbs, and many more. Even though the Recording Academy might not give these leaders their flowers, they’re referred to as leaders for a reason. Regardless, check back in with HNHH for the latest news and updates on Denzel Curry.

Metro Boomin Confirms 2023 Release Date For Future Collab Album

by

Few hip-hop producers today- or ever, for that matter- are able to reach the self-made artistic dominance of Young Metro. He may only have a few solo projects to his name, but he indelibly shaped so many projects from this era. From producing hot singles to helping behind the scenes to, most famously, his joint projects, Metro’s done it all. In fact, Metro Boomin recently said that his upcoming collab album with Future will release in 2023. Of course, they already teased this before, but to hear further confirmation is always exciting, especially from these two longtime collaborators that still recently put out some of their best work.

FLAUNT magazine recently debuted a cover story with the producer on Monday (March 6), shortly after his second No. 1 album HEROES & VILLAINS. During said interview, he spoke on performing with Future for his One Big Party tour stop in Atlanta. “Oh, that was fire,” he shared. “You know, Pluto, that’s my brother. We’ve been at it for a long time. This whole superhero moment, it’s like the beginning of our phase two. We haven’t had a song out since ‘Mask Off,’ they’ve been on our heads. With this, and then the whole State Farm thing, it’s starting to slowly put people on notice: we crankin’ that s**t back up too.”

Later on, he said that their upcoming full-length team-up will most likely come out this year. “Definitely,” he expressed, “I would bet on it. I would definitely bet on it.” Previously, he called the project the “album of the year” in an Apple Music interview. “Let me tell you why,” the 29-year-old went on. “[Future] actually finished most of the album at my studio in L.A. That’s my brother, but we’re working on some things. At first, we were going to put a couple of songs with me and him on the album, but we had took them off because I had talked to him.”

Meanwhile, the star producer recently landed some other huge wins. For example, he sold a chunk of publishing rights to his catalog for $70 million on Tuesday (March 7). With his continuing to release new music, hopefully that means he’ll have more direct control of what he decides to put out, at least for now. Usually these deals have some odd implications for artists, but for Metro, it’s just him knowing what he’s worth and that the best is yet to come. Regardless, stay logged into HNHH for the latest news and updates on Metro Boomin.

Daniel Caesar Announces Release Date For Upcoming Album “Never Enough”

by

Earlier this month, Daniel Caesar announced his long-awaited third studio album, Never Enough. Having teased the project since its initial confirmation, Caesar finally took to Instagram today (February 28) to reveal the drop date. The post, which highlighted April 7th, 2023 as the day when Never Enough will be streamable, was accompanied by the caption, “ready?” Having been spotty with releases since his 2019 album, Case Study 01, fans of the 27-year-old immediately flooded his comment section in anticipation of this upcoming 15-track work.

As part of the promotion for Never Enough, Caesar gave fans a taste of what he’s been brewing up in the studio recently with the releases of Do You Like Me? and Let Me Go. The former dropped first on January 27th, and depicts what the singer describes as the “90 degrees of a love triangle.” He explained the inspiration for the soft ballad further on Instagram, writing “[it’s] a song about a woman I respect deeply.” His second teaser song, which dropped on February 10th, carries a slightly more upbeat tone while still maintaining Caesar’s vulnerable and romantic essence.

Caesar’s “Never Enough” Drops On April 7th

Just from the two-song preview, Never Enough seems to still boast Caesar’s distinguishable style, but with a continuation of experimentation and added flare. In a 2022 interview with HypeBeast, the Canadian reflected on the shifts in his musical influences and genre tastes. “I’m kind of dipping into all the other influences, all of the music that I listened to growing up,” he told the publication. “I’ve always tried to take all my influences and put them in a pot and stir them up and see what happens.” Ultimately, Caesar noted his distaste for being labeled.

As the release of his first studio project with Republic Records remains more than five weeks away, Caesar continues to promote Never Enough on his socials with the album’s royal blue branding. Excited fans have expressed their anticipation for the upcoming release in his comments section. In response to his initial question, one user answered, “u know damn well we are ready.” Be sure to keep up with HNHH for more news on the release of Never Enough.

Lil Tjay Teases Upcoming Album: “Putting My All Into This”

by

Lil Tjay has experienced a lifetime of ups and downs since his last studio album. Last June, he was shot seven times during an attempted robbery. After being taken to the hospital and eventually recovering, Tjay did all he could to get back on his feet. He soon released a diss track to his shooters titled “FACESHOT,” inspired by 50 Cent’s “Many Men.” He also recorded and dropped a song from his hospital bed titled “Beat the Odds.” In the past couple of months, he not only dropped another single in November titled “Give You What You Want,” but also featured on a groundbreaking song with one of the hottest artists in the genre.

“Gangsta Boo” off Ice Spice’s recent January EP saw Tjay and Spice crack the Billboard Hot 100 with the sensational collaboration. However, the release of this track came just days after Tjay was arrested for gun possession in New York. In fact, he was stopped and detained while on the way to the music video shoot for “Gangsta Boo.” Still battling these legal troubles, Tjay currently hopes to instead focus on his upcoming full-length solo project.

Lil Tjay’s Instagram Story

On Tuesday (Feb. 28), Tjay posted an Instagram story referencing his impending studio album. “Putting my all into this album this gon be my best one yet,” he wrote. “When I step better show me my respect ima vet.” Currently untitled and without a release date, Tjay evidently wants to gain more respect with this forthcoming LP.

He continued by making sure people don’t switch up after he drops the project. “Don’t try spin the block. I don’t wanna hear about regrets, bout some sh*t u knew u was wrong about but ain’t address. Thinking I was cold? but u bold!” he wrote. “It’s just been too long respectfully im rii back on the necks.” Tjay’s last studio album came with 2021’s Destined 2 Win. In April 2022, his freestyle “Lavish” was meant to be a teaser for a soon-to-come mixtape. But, understandably, his shooting likely derailed any rollout plans he had. Now, looking forward to his third studio album, it will be interesting to see what Tjay brings to the table.

Lil Nas X Says Reveals Plans For New Album

by

Lil Nas X has not made his presence felt in quite some time. In 2022, the Atlanta pop-rap star only put out two singles throughout the year. The first came in June and was titled “Late To Da Party (F*CK BET).” Featuring NBA YoungBoy, the song came during a time when Nas X was infuriated with how the BET Awards committee snubbed him. Next came “Star Walkin” in September. The single was made as the anthem for the League of Legends Worlds tournament. Just before its release, Nas X was named the president of League of Legends.

All of last year, though, fans were holding their breath in anticipation of Lil Nas X’s next full-length album. His 2021 debut MONTERO was a smashing success. Landing at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 chart and selling nearly 125,000 units, MONTERO proved that Nas X is here to stay. So, as the page turned to 2022, listeners wondered what was next for him. Initially, he had planned for the album’s promotional singles to be the aforementioned “Late To Da Party” as well as another track named “Down Souf Hoes” featuring Saucy Santana. While the former did release, the latter still has yet to come. But, the wait for another LP may not last much longer.

Lil Nas X Talks Album

On Monday (Feb. 20), Nas X used his favorite platform Twitter to communicate with his fans about what he’s been up to. Under a fan’s tweet mocking him for his lack of songs released lately, Nas X gave some useful information. First, referring to “Down Souf Hoes,” he said the song got leaked so it did not release. He continued, though, by saying it will likely still land on his upcoming album: “it leaked but it’s still on the album.” Speaking of the album, he also added that it will likely come out in the summer. “most likely summer,” he responded to a fan.

Furthermore, fans then asked Nas X how many song would be on the currently untitled album. To this, he replied that he is still making music so he does not know. “idk i love so many songs plus i’m still in the studio making music so it’s gone be hard to pick,” he replied. Lastly, he spoke on how he approcahes song and album releases. Evident in past singles, Nas X said he likes for each song to have its moment when it comes out. “it’s mostly planning now,” he said. “i could easily just release music but i have to build moments around this shit. i have to go bigger than before!” It appears that Lil Nas X has a clear vision about what he wants out of his next album. So, for fans, all they have to do is sit back and wait just a bit longer. Check out Nas X’s tweets about his album above.

6LACK Announces Long-Awaited Third Album, “S.I.H.A.L.”

by

6LACK just unorthodoxly announced his next album, presumably titled S.I.H.A.L., set for release in March of this year. Moreover, it’s been a long time since he’s dropped a full-length, which he seemed to acknowledge. While he didn’t completely disappear from releases, he took some creative moves to promote his return. For example, he took the Kendrick route of including a Dropbox-like folder on his Instagram with his third album, albeit password-protected. Overall, it seems like the Atlanta-based artist is prepping fans for a big return.

Also, he engaged in another creative promotional campaign on Valentine’s Day just a few days ago. In fact, he enlisted the help of Atlanta’s Water Boyz and turned them to the Flower Boyz (no diss to Tyler). Moreover, they went around the city and handed out roses to people on the streets or going about their day. With the rose, they delivered a note that read, “See you soon, Love 6LACK.” Actually, it’s quite wholesome and entertaining to see people’s reactions, as some know who he is while others are confused. In addition to his vague promotion on his website (and his label website indicating the March release date), it seems much more personal than the typical rollout.

6LACK Teases New Album In Atlanta

Furthermore, not much else is known about the album apart from those details. Moreover, the album title S.I.H.A.L. comes from promotional material of the Valentine’s Day flower giveaway on his Twitter page. However, it should be noted that other publications reported the album title to be S.I.H.L., so even the details we do know are a bit murky. Still, this will be 6LACK’s first album since 2018’s East Atlanta Love Letter. That project came out two years after his critically acclaimed debut, Free 6LACK.

Meanwhile, if you’re looking for recent jams to hold you over, he recently collaborated with Jacquees and Summer Walker on the former’s “Tell Me It’s Over.” Also, he appeared on the Christmastime R&B superstar project, Home For The Holidays 2 alongside dvsn, Summer, and more. Overall, fans are finally getting new music from a beloved and accomplished crooner after five years. With that in mind, stick around on HNHH for the latest on 6LACK and his comeback album.

Latto Teases Two Mystery Collaborations On Next Album

by

Latto just teased two mystery, but fan-favorite collaborations on her next album. Moreover, the revelation came after people started to speculate on who’d appear on the 777 star’s next project. After her single “Lottery” dropped last week to much acclaim, fans are already thinking about what’ll be next for her. Furthermore, one fan specifically had a wishlist of potential features. “10 Collabs I want for Latto’s next album,” they wrote before listing them out. They suggested Cardi B, Megan Thee Stallion, Summer Walker, Chris Brown, Don Toliver, SZA, Lil Nas X, Lizzo, Kim Petras, and Doja Cat.

Then, the Columbus rapper quote-tweeted the fan’s suggestions with some exciting news. “1 of these already done,” she shared, before reading the list over again and making the good news even better. “Wait, I read the list again… *2,” she added. Soon after, fans made their guesses and tried to decipher the new guests. However, it’s unclear if she meant that they were already done for her next album or in general. If it’s in general, we know that she worked with Chris Brown, Meg, and Doja Cat to some capacity.

Latto Teases New Collaborations

Of course, many fans prayed and hoped that Brown wasn’t the collab that Latto was talking about. Moreover, a recent announcement of his collab with Chlöe caused many to bring up his history of abuse again. However, given they worked together already, that ship sailed a while ago for these hopefuls. Still, it’s quite the eclectic list with a lot of potential. After all, Latto already remixed SZA’s “Smoking on my Ex Pack,” so there aren’t many degrees of separation there.

Meanwhile, Petras recently won a Grammy for her collaboration with Sam Smith, “Unholy.” Even though the “Big Energy” MC is pretty firmly in a rap lane, hearing her cross over into more hyper pop-inspired sounds would be insane. Regardless, Latto recently fell victim to a 130-song leak, which she handled with grace. While we don’t know how this will affect her next album, at least we know there’s some guaranteed heat on the way. However you feel about this list, let us know in the comments who you think will appear on the 24-year-old’s next project. Also, come back to HNHH for the latest news and updates on Latto.

The Alchemist Picks Up The Mic On “60 Days” With Larry June

by

Hopefully The Alchemist and Larry June are dropping their album soon, because their latest single “60 Days” is so promising. Moreover, the track features both California rap artists in their best elements. On one hand, June comes through with steady and effortless verses, whereas Al- wait, did he just start rapping? Not only does The Alchemist produce here, but he gifts fans a nice 8-bar verse with some engaging rhymes and wordplay. Of course, Al got his start as an MC and that, paired with his decades of experiences, might be lost on newer listeners. Overall, if you had a doubt about either of these artists, “60 Days” indicates that a project could just bring out the best in each other.

First, the instrumental here is classic Alchemist production. For example, the bright and otherworldly string samples and very light beat contrast with deep bass. As perfectly evidenced on albums of his like Sandwich, he’s a master at making a grimy beat feel wondrous, and a dreamy instrumental feel grounded. It also pairs well with June’s more understated delivery here, even as he details his lavish lifestyle. Most importantly, maybe these contrasts are indicative of the tracks themes. A lot can happen in 60 days, and there’s always the conflict between where you are and what it took to get you there.

Still, what did you think of this newest track from Larry June and The Alchemist, the lush “60 Days”? Moreover, are you looking forward to a new album from the two? However you feel, let us know in the comments and check out the music video and standout bars down below. Also, if you haven’t heard it yet, you can find the single on your preferred streaming service. As always, come back to HNHH for the best new music of the week from top-tier rappers, producers, or both.

Quotable Lyrics
Know how to spot and catch a phony and do the plaxico to myself before the matrimony (Shoot myself)
Stick shift Aston, I’m diggin’ in my trick basket (Yeah)
Fixin’ plays, cut up the pot and split the change (60 days)
A lot of s**t could happen in 60 days

Hitkidd Drops Female Rap Posse Cut Single, “You The Type”

by

“F.N.F. (Let’s Go)” producer Hitkidd just released “You the Type” with Aleza, K Carbon, Slimeroni, and Gloss Up. Overall, it’s a fiery and hard-hitting trap cut with great energy from every single female MC. In fact, they’re all from GloRilla’s clique, with whom the producer made their breakout track last year. Furthermore, each rapper gets a moment of shine via short and sweet verses that don’t let the energy up. As far as the instrumental, it’s just as murderous and bass-heavy as you’d expect from a Memphis production. However, it feels particularly dramatic or menacing thanks to low piano chords and regal melodies.

Unfortunately, the “F.N.F.” collaborators had a small falling out a couple of months ago as GloRilla and Hitkidd discussed contract issues. However, the producer’s longtime business partner Kadeem Phillips provided a third perspective, albeit from Hitkidd’s camp. “Glo independently collects money for FNF its all hers she just doesnt own the song and never will,” he wrote. “We actually saved her from losing millions and Glo was able to get a deal without having to sell her independent record. FNF was created to help all the girls not for CMG.”

Still what did you think of this latest Memphis posse cut, “You the Type” with Hitkidd, Aleza, K Carbon, Slimeroni, and Gloss Up? However you feel, let us know in the comments and check out standout bars and the music video down below. Also, if you haven’t heard the track yet, you can find the loaded new song on your preferred streaming service. As always, come back to HNHH every week for the best new music releases.

Quotable Lyrics
I’m that type of b***h, I want your n***a, I’ll come snatch him (I’ll come take him)
Now she mad about her n**a, na-na, come get him back then
At my shows strapped and s**t, a hundred shots up in this backpack (A hundred rounds)
Can’t get caught up by his b***h, so he still hit me through his Snapchat (Yeah, his Snap)
