Lil Skies Takes A Step Back On “DEATH”

March 9, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Lil Skies’ career got off to a hot start in the late 2010s with catchy and melodic trap bangers about love and relationships. Of course, his biggest hits were “Nowadays” and “Red Roses” with Landon Cube. That 2017 project Life of a Dark Rose, really put a lot of people on and it flashed a lot of potential. However, since his 2019 tape Shelby, things just have not been the same. “DEATH” by Lil Skies is another unfortunate case.

What makes this even more hard to digest is that this single will be landing on a new record soon. The rumor around town is that Out Your Body Music is supposed to hit streaming services before the end of March. Up until this point, the tracks that are teasing Lil Skies’ fourth tape have not been any more promising. We can appreciate him trying a new sound and cadence, but it just does not sound pleasing to our ears.

Listen To “DEATH” By Lil Skies

For example, his last outing, “THOUSANDS” sees the rapper and singer drowning in reverb and auto tune. While he has always been using it, the effects were more of an enhancement rather than a detriment. “DEATH” features a clunky chorus and video game-like beat that is super redundant and gets stale fast. It does not feel good saying these things about Skies’ music, so hopefully better things await when his LP drops.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single, “DEATH,” by Lil Skies? Is this one of his strongest tracks lately, why or why not? What is your favorite element of the song and why? Does this get you pumped for his next project Out Your Body Music? 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 Lil Skies. Finally, stay with us for the most informative song posts throughout the week.

Quotable Lyrics:

Ridin’ in this car, you know this b**** is bulletproof (Do-do-do)
Run up a hundred miles, you know we bout to get the loot (Do-do-do)
He thought this s*** was sweet until he got punched in his tooth (Go)
Woah, (Blackout), I can’t fear no man (Yeah)
Hundred thousand cash, yeah I stuffed it in my pants (Blackout)
Shorty asking what I’m doing, b**** I never dance (Nah)

D4vd Is Questioning His Relationship Choices On “My House Is Not A Home”

March 9, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Queens, New York singer d4vd is the definition of a multi-talent. At just 18 this kid has already grown immensely and his fanbase proves that. In just the three years that he has released music to streaming, d4vd is already up to over 25.1 million monthly listeners. A big reason why is because we mentioned how diverse he is. He blurs the lines between R&B and alternative, which has been a popular trend as of late. Today, d4vd is back doing that on his newest single “My House Is Not A Home.”

This song paints a picture of a complicated relationship. “But you never really cared about the way that everything turned out / You didn’t wanna fall in love, you’re looking out for yourself now / It’s starting to piss me off, I thought I had you figured out.” D4vd’s “My House Is Not A Home” is the third single to preview his upcoming record, Withered.

Listen To “My House Is Not A Home” By D4vd

According to Genius, the project is due on April 4. The previous offering we have received from d4vd include “Leave Her” and “2016.” Both dropped at the same time in a two-pack format back on February 9. Be sure to check out “My House Is Not A Home” and its music video above.

Quotable Lyrics:

Hello, I’m at your door again
I just needed a friend, but now I share a bed with you
Am I dumb to succumb to the noise?
I’m not a little boy no more, I’ve made my stupid choices too
Tell my mother that I’m sorry, tell my father just the same
Tell my sister that her brother might as well have gone insane

Bktherula Goes To The Next Level On New Single & Music Video “THE WAY”: Stream

March 8, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Bktherula is gearing up for her new album LVL5 P2 next week after its first installment last year, and it’s shaping up to be one of the most creative and vibrant albums of 2024 so far. Moreover, she already dropped the colorful banger “CRAYON” as a single, and now she’s back with perhaps the most overt and extreme display of her range yet. The Atlanta multi-hyphenate just dropped the single and music video “THE WAY,” which follows two women in love on a sunset-adorned coastline, dancing in their home, and eating ice cream by some palm trees. It’s a very sweet visual with a lot of creative animation towards the end and a simple, effective, and gorgeously shot and colored approach.

As for “THE WAY” itself, this is one of Bktherula’s most tender, acoustic, mellow, and structurally unique records in her entire discography. It might remind listeners of previous cuts like “SUMMER” or some material on the LOVE BLACK project, but with some added flair. For one, she mostly delivers refrains here about “the way” and “the light of the room,” with a brief verse longing to stay grounded to humanity and mortality with a special someone despite the sins of themselves, the world, and the forces like drugs that aim to replicate that feeling. Also, the “IT WASN’T ME” rapper’s vocal performance is very warm, and beautifully muted guitar strums, atmospheric synth pads, and what sounds like subtle conga percussion towards the end really makes this an excitingly lush taste of LVL5 P2.

Bktherula’s New Single “THE WAY”: Stream & Watch The Music Video

We say “excitingly” because this is the same ferocious MC who brought us “CRAZY GIRL P2” with NBA YoungBoy. She’s always had incredible range, versatility, and talent, but with this new song in mind, we predict that this will be her most all-encompassing and definitive work yet when it comes to her many skills. If you haven’t heard Bktherula’s “THE WAY” yet, find it on your preferred streaming service. Peep the music video above and some notable lyrics below, and make sure to stick around for LVL5 P2, dropping on Friday, March 15. As always, for more great music drops around the clock, stay posted on HNHH.

Quotable Lyrics
Let’s not light up, ’cause we already higher,
We already high, in our life, living our life full of sin, and I know it ain’t right,
We already high, cut all of the ties,
Patience is deemed as forever, but you’ll see it’s light

Russ Helps Preview DJ Premier’s Upcoming Record With “Work This Out”

March 8, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Russ and DJ Premier are legends in their own right. While people might be a bit more hesitant to give that title up to Russ, he has certainly worked his tail off, independently we might add. The New Jersey rapper has released so many singles and projects without too much extra help, making his resume all that more impressive. Today he is back with a new single with the legendary Houston, Texas producer.

Over the last couple of years this duo has put out a small handful of tracks together. That may be a little bit stunning to some, but they really do complement each other’s respective styles. Their works include 2020’s “Inside Job” and 2022’s “Free.” Russ and Premier are building out their synergy further with “Work This Out.”

Listen To “Work This Out” By Russ & DJ Premier

It is a relationship cut that we have seen Russ do before, about wanting to fix things. This is an exciting time for Premier because this track is teasing his next album. There is not much information on it, but this could be the second taster from the record. We did get “In Moe (Speculation)” with Common in November, so we could have a compilation-like LP with guest rappers.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single, “Work This Out,” by Russ and DJ Premier? Is the duo’s strongest track together so far, why or why not? What is your favorite element of the song and why? Does this get you excited for the producer’s upcoming album? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.

Quotable Lyrics:

Let’s get out of town, we been goin’ ’round and ’round, there’s a hotel in the South of Virginia (Virginia)
We’ll make it a road trip, we’ll listen to old s***, you tell me that it’s hard to forgive you (Forgive you)
Girl, I know, I know, I know (Girl, I know)
And I won’t, I won’t, I won’t (Girl, I won’t)
Act like it’s easy (It’s easy)
Oh-oh, act like you need me (Act like you need me)

Spice 1 Gears Up For New LP With “Gangsta Shhh” Featuring Snoop Dogg & Rick Ross

March 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Spice 1 has not gotten enough love on the HNHH site unfortunately. The Hayward, California rapper has been going strong since the early 90s. He gave his his first record back in 1991 to be exact with his Let It Be Known tape. With well over 20 projects to his name, he deserves a lot a credit for helping shape the West Coast sound. So, we are excited to say that he will be dropping a new record in a couple months. To help promote it, Spice 1 has just released “Gangsta Shhh” with two legends.

Those other two icons are Snoop Dogg and Rick Ross. Since we have not been keeping you up to date on his music output, here is a quick run down. The last time Spice 1 put out a new album was 2022 with Thug Therapy. However, we want to focus on 2019, which is when Platinum O.G. came out.

Listen To “Gangsta Shhh” By Spice 1, Snoop Dogg, & Rick Ross

He will be following up that tape with its sequel, Platinum OG 2, on May 3, according to HipHopDX. The project will feature a bevy of other all-time great talents such as Conway the Machine, DJ Premier, Paul Wall, and more. “Gangsta Shhh” is a trap-flavored cut with tons of swagger coming from Spice 1 and his supporting cast. It is a nice taster for what should be an exciting return.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single, “Gangsta Shhh,” by Spice 1, Snoop Dogg, and Rick Ross? Is this shaping up to be a top-tier record for Spice, why or why not? What is your favorite element of the song and why? Who had the best performance on the track? Does this get you excited for Platinum OG 2?

Doodie Lo Talks Candid Relationship With Drugs On “Purple Nightmares”

March 5, 2024 by newhiphopnews

For Doodie Lo, things have not been the greatest. The veteran MC from Illinois has been dealing with rehab and a defamation lawsuit that left him feeling suicidal. As for the first of the two personal issues, there was speculation as to why he was entered into a facility. According to Hip-Hop Lately it was because of drug problems that were heightened after the court battles with his ex FTN Bae. Thankfully, it seems that Doodie Lo is working his way back to making music as he is back with a new single, “Purple Nightmares.”

This could be a reference to the troubling year he had in 2023. He raps, “Sippin’ all that codeine, at night, I’m havin’ nightmares / Woke up in the middle of the night, my killer right there.” Luckily, his OTF crew mate Lil Durk was there for him during his time in need. He wound up paying him $110,000 to assist in his recovery.

Listen To “Purple Nightmares” By Doodie Lo

On top of dropping this new track, Doodie Lo will also be coming through with a new album. According to the press release, it will be called What Made Me. He already released the introspective cut, “Role Model,” back at the beginning of February. “Purple Nightmares” is now the second record to tease the LP which is still awaiting a release date. Additionally, this will end a three-year drought since his debut in 2021.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single, “Purple Nightmares,” by Doodie Lo? Is this one of his strongest tracks of his career, why or why not? What is your favorite element of the song and why? Does this get you excited for his upcoming record, What Made Me?

Don’t gotta have racks on me, don’t bring around your wack homies
Felt bad from that moment, the state bringin’ wraps on me
‘Member back then, I sold weed with my fat homie
Now we gettin’ to shows booked and n****s gettin’ they h**s too
All the killers, they roll with me, loyalty, you owe to me
Close your mouth, don’t go and speak, you know they lookin’ over me

March 4, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Prolific Baton Rouge, Louisiana rapper NBA YoungBoy, is going to be living up to that title very soon. The 24-year-old MC has one of the largest catalogs, which is ultra impressive for his age, and he is about to be adding to it on March 8 with Compliments Of Gravedigger Mountain. That is going to the be name of NBA YoungBoy’s new album, one that was bound to happen at any moment. The dude has been releasing single after single on YouTube mainly for the last month or two.

In just the past two years YB will have put out 13 overall projects! His relentless desire to put out new music is something that most people are kind of sick of. However, you have to respect him for working as much as he does. Even if it leads to some mediocre songs in the process. The raspy spitter announced the release date and album cover on his Instagram just hours ago.

“3/8,” he captioned it simply. Fans are already making jokes about how long this record will be. If you are not familiar with YB’s style, he loves to put at least 20 songs on each release. One fan even theorizes that since he is dropping on 03/08, it signifies that 38 songs will make it onto the record. Speaking of which, Genius has a page up with the rumored tracklist so far. Seven songs are currently projected to be on the tape with cuts like “Bnyx Da Reaper,” “Run,” “No Time,” and etc.

Cardi B Hypes Up New Album This Year While Ignoring The Haters

March 1, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Cardi B seems to be kicking off her album rollout into full gear with the new single, “Like What (Freestyle).” Sure, she had already dropped “Bongos” with Megan Thee Stallion, but this solo return is really what has fans prepped for something big on the way. Moreover, the Bronx rapper recently took to Instagram to share a desktop filled to the brim with material she worked on in January of 2023, plus a preview of a DAW arrangement of another track. Not only that, but she confirmed once again that her new album, her sophomore effort and her first in about six years, is arriving this year.

“Look at how long I had this f***ing record for,” Cardi B began her IG video hyping her next move up for fans. “January 27, twenty-twenty-f***ing-three. I was working on this s**t at 5AM, you know I’m a night owl. I promise y’all this year, I’m not letting my anxiety, I’m not letting what haters say, I’m not letting what fans say… If I do a song, I’ma just f***ing drop it. Well, I got no choice, ’cause I’m dropping my album this year, so… Stay tuned for the announcement, but don’t play with me! Don’t play with me! Look how I sound on it. ‘Cause I know I got a thick accent. *plays ‘Like What (Freestyle)’*.”

What’s more is that this new rollout also involves some drama and speculation (maybe planned, maybe not) around Cardi B’s romantic life. As you probably know, she and her on-and-off-again husband Offset seem to be going through a rough -– or at the very least difficult -– patch right now. But given that the former Migo directed the 31-year-old’s visual for “Like What (Freestyle),” it seems like their professional working relationship is smooth as butter. We’ll just have to wait and see if there’s anything deeper here.

Meanwhile, this obviously brought up all the femcee beef that rages online between Nicki Minaj’s Barbz, the Bardi Gang, and more. While that’s a pesky fly buzzing around this new album, we can’t wait to let the windows down and soak it in when it lands. Whoever’s side you’re on, can’t we all just demand some good music and call it a day? Regardless, stick around on HNHH for the latest news and updates on Cardi B.

Joyner Lucas & Conway The Machine Flex Their Lyrical Muscles On “Sticks & Stones”

March 1, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Massachusetts rapper Joyner Lucas is a confusing rapper at times. He can truly blow you away with his technical ability. However, there are other instances where he comes across as bland and forgettable. Every artist has moments like that, but it seems that fans hold him to a higher standard. Other reasons for his inconsistencies are because of his projects and their rollouts. ADHD had way too many singles released ahead of it, leading to a fairly boring album listen. The same can be said about Not Now, I’m Busy.

In a lengthy November Instagram post, Joyner revealed that the album was in the works for about two years and was finished five months prior. However, due to the reactions that fans were giving to the singles, Joyner felt it was not a project that fans would enjoy. So, he decided to scrap that record that was expected to drop last year and has been reshaping the tracklist ever since. According to Genius, the songs that are rumored to make the final cut have been trimmed down to six, instead of seven.

Listen To “Sticks & Stones” By Joyner Lucas & Conway The Machine

“Blackout” with Future, and “Devil’s Work 2,” are currently not on the LP. One of the tracks that will take its place is “Sticks & Stones” with Conway the Machine. The song sees the production fit what the Buffalo MC is used to rapping over and Joyner does a solid job fitting in. On top of those changes we just mentioned, Not Now, I’m Busy is getting a brand-new cover art and official release date. The original artwork saw Joyner falling out of the sky with an exploding orange car. This new one has an orange color scheme, but the big change shows Lucas’s face in a bloody close-up. Fans should expect the tape to drop on March 22.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single, “Sticks & Stones,” by Joyner Lucas and Conway the Machine? Is this the best single from Not Now, I’m Busy, why or why not? What is your favorite element of the song and why? Who had the strongest performance on the track and why? Is this going to be an album of the year contender, or did the hype die out for you? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.

[?] inside of my Greek, you know the model, make a million dollars, repeat (Ooh)
Got that dollar routine (Talk to ’em)

Skepta Experiments With Afrobeats On Laid-Back “Tony Montana” Featuring Portable & JAE5

March 1, 2024 by newhiphopnews

There are a lot of artists we are dying to hear new projects from. After a fairly uneventful year in 2023 from the mainstream, everyone is making up for lost time. They are also looking to prove that the genre is still alive and deserves its flowers as one of the top subsets of music across the globe. One of those rappers making a highly-awaited return is Skepta. At the turn of 2024, the UK great announced Knife and Fork, his first foray back into rap since 2020’s Insomnia. Skepta is back to teasing the record with “Tony Montana.”

This is now the third single that will land on his seventh project. He got off to a strong start releasing “Jangrova” back on January 19 with Tribal Mark, ODUMODUBLVCK, and Idris Elba (IDRIS). Then, just a week later, he would go on to put out the controversial single “Gas Me Up (Diligent)” with production from Cardo. Its cover art, which fans believed made disgusting callbacks to The Holocaust, was eventually taken down after pushback from Skepta.

Listen To “Tony Montana” By Skepta, Portable, & JAE5

All of that brings us to “Tony Montana,” which is a drastic deviation from the usual sonics we are accustomed to hearing from the grime icon. Skepta goes for more of an Afrobeat vibe, which has been taking over as of late. To help bring some more African authenticity, Portable, a Nigerian singer and rapper delivers the chorus. It is easily the most chill example we have heard out of the three and it features production from JAE5, a popular UK producer.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single, “Tony Montana,” by Skepta, Portable, and JAE5? Is this the best single from Knife and Fork, why or why not? What is your favorite element of the song and why? Who had the strongest performance on the track and why? Is this going to be an album of the year contender?
