Lil Uzi Vert Says “Luv Is Rage 3” Will Be Out In A “Couple Of Months”

July 9, 2023 by newhiphopnews

As one Lil Uzi Vert album releases and a hype cycle ends, another rises from the ashes to take its place. Moreover, after the success and buzz around their latest and highly anticipated album Pink Tape, they are once again in project mode, teasing the release of Luv Is Rage 3. While we don’t know for sure when the series’ next installment will come out, Uzi at least gave us a bit of a hint to go off of. Considering the sheer breadth and variety found on Pink Tape, it wouldn’t be too shocking if the Philly superstar decided to take some significant time before their next release. However, when they dropped their last solo studio album Eternal Atake in 2020, they released two other full projects that year, so maybe this is just their standard strategy.

Furthermore, the “Fire Alarm” rapper was approached on camera recently and was asked when Luv Is Rage 3 would come out. “Oh yeah, that’s coming,” Lil Uzi Vert responded. “Um, not too long. Probably, like… Honestly, I know I usually be lying, but a couple of months.” Well, at least they’re being honest, given just how long fans waited for Pink Tape after much teasing.

Regardless, it was definitely worth it, as the 26-track behemoth is expected to land at No. 1 on the Billboard charts. Pink Tape reportedly sold about 165K album equivalent units in its first week, which makes it the highest hip-hop debut of the year so far. Sure, the numbers might not seem impressive when compared to other No. 1 hip-hop albums that released over the past few years. Still, context is everything, and plenty of factors worked in Lil Uzi Vert’s favor to apparently make it the first chart-topping rap project of the year.

Meanwhile, fans will get to experience Pink Tape for themselves very soon. Its tour kicks off in October and runs through North America all the way to the end of mid-November. If you haven’t copped tickets yet, you might be out of luck, but you’ll never know if you don’t try. With that in mind, check back in with HNHH for the latest news and updates on Lil Uzi Vert.

Joell Ortiz & L’Orange Salute Everyone Who Makes It To Be An “OG” On New Single

July 8, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Joell Ortiz, the skilled Brooklyn lyricist who formed part of the group Slaughterhouse, is gearing up to release a new album with producer L’Orange titled Signature. For those unfamiliar with his work, it’s characterized by sharp lines and wordplay, an emphasis on grimy production, and a confident delivery as he spits out street bars. If this newest single is anything to go by, this may well be one of the New York rapper’s best projects in a while. Moreover, “OG” is a dark and menacing soundscape layered with tales of Ortiz’s age, life experiences, and injustice.

Furthermore, Joell Ortiz specifically hones in on how people in the streets escape their tough circumstances and rise above systemic police abuse and hardened crimes. In fact, Ortiz speaks on his own status as an MC and how he’s aged, but also how he still remembers those days. His flow is steady and well-balanced between faster stanzas and more punch-packing short bars. His two verses on the song are actually narratively framed in somewhat of an inverse order. In the first, he stars with his current life and then reminisces on how it used to be. On the second he inverts that to recall how you might love your hood, “but when you leave, you won’t miss it much.”

Joell Ortiz & L’Orange’s “OG”

Meanwhile, the production here is simple but dangerously effective as a raw instrumental. With just an infectious bassline, simple boom-bap drums, and a distorted guitar strum that reverberates throughout, the beat bangs. Signature will likely be a very solid project, and “OG” builds that hype up as an excellent track. If you haven’t heard it yet, find it on your preferred streaming service and check out some standout lines below. Also, stay posted on HNHH for the latest news and updates on Joell Ortiz and L’Orange.

Quotable Lyrics
I was in them streets like Rico
But the boy from Puerto Rico ain’t get caught up in the RICO
It was OD package anytime I moved the diesel
Not it’s O.G status, new ways to move the needle

King Von & Tee Grizzley Grew Up “Heartless” On New Single

July 7, 2023 by newhiphopnews

King Von’s upcoming posthumous album Grandson (arriving July 14) will be an important moment in the late rapper’s career. Moreover, it will be his second body of work after his passing, and many wonder whether it will stick the landing considering that many releases in this vein can feel exploitative. That being said, if this new track “Heartless” with Tee Grizzley is anything to go by, fans should expect to be satisfied. This is the kind of track that Von perfected during his career, with the right balance of aggression, darkness, but also sorrow. While the bars here may paint a harsh picture of the streets, the instrumental gives it a somber tone that puts it all into context.

Furthermore, high-pitched keys and atmospheric pads lead the melody and harmony on “Heartless.” It almost sounds nostalgic, but the hard trap drums ground the track in its violent subject matter. In addition, there are some buried choir vocals that make the beat feel more eerie, despite the fact that they’re quite subtle in the mix. Like much of King Von’s catalog, this track has a haunting feel that contrasts well with his bars. Not only does he speak on the harshness of his upbringing, but his present attitude on the track says more about it than any anecdote ever could.

King Von & Tee Grizzley’s “Heartless”

Meanwhile, Tee Grizzley comes through with a quick, short, but effective verse that matches the Chicago MC with ease. Also, he makes a bit more of an effort to switch up his flow at a certain point, even if he doesn’t divert from its core. Overall, it may be a standard Von song at the end of the day, but it’s yet another one where his talents shine through. If you haven’t heard “Heartless” yet, check it out on your preferred streaming service and read some notable bars below. As always, come back to HNHH for more on Tee Grizzley, King Von, and more great rap music each week.

Quotable Lyrics
They don’t like us? Tell ’em shake somethin’ (Shake somethin’), I don’t f**k with these n***as, I’m straight on ’em (Straight),
Gas ’em up, we put brakes on ’em (Stop it), shooters at the crib, can’t lay on me (Can’t)
How you gon’ take somethin’? We got a Drac’ on us, don’t make us face one (Baow)
I’m a rare breed, want another me? My n***a, it ain’t one (One of one)

Travis Scott Reportedly Filming “Utopia” Album Trailer

July 3, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Mr. Travis Scott has been in the news a decent amount recently, despite not putting out much new music. A grand jury just cleared the Houston native days ago for the Astroworld Festival tragedy that happened at one of his concerts in 2021, in which multiple fans in the crowd were crushed to death. Since he’s avoided criminal and civil charges, the rapper is back to making content for the world. He was on Lil Uzi Vert’s new album, Pink Tape, with the mosh pit banger “Aye.” This marks the first collaboration between the two since 2018’s “Watch.”

Now, Travis Scott is setting his sights on a brand-new album, complete with hijinks media stunts. From the verified Twitter account TRAVIS SCOTT FAN PAGE (@RodeoTheAlbum), Scott is getting ready to unleash UTOPIA, his first full-length album since 2018’s Astroworld. And he’s already pulling off some publicity for the announced project. He’s dropping an album trailer soon, with Scott “‘looking for UTOPIA’ in different countries across the world,” according to the Tweet. There’s also a video of Travis Scott spray-painting the word “UTOPIA” in Tarragona, Spain. This gives credit to the international feel of the album trailer.

Travis Scott And The “UTOPIA” Hype

Scott is trying to put Astroworld Festival completely behind him. With the jury clearing him and a new single out with Lil Uzi Vert, he’s looking for a fresh start. Going around to different countries and spray-painting his new album’s name on foreign walls might seem a tad reckless. But it’s harmless and should make for an exciting album trailer. While there’s no news on when the album or trailer will drop, we do know he’s filming in far-flung locations.

Travis Scott is easily one of the best rappers in the game in 2023. Even with a five-year hiatus on his next album, he has remained in the pop culture canon with other music. He’s collaborated with Kid Cudi, Yeat, and Bad Bunny. There was recent speculation that he and SZA might be dating. And he’s been busy crafting hype for UTOPIA, shelling out for billboard ads, and updating his website with the UTOPIA logo. Whenever the album trailer and album drops, best believe his fans will be ready.

King Von’s Upcoming Posthumous Album “Grandson” Divides Fans

July 1, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Grandson will be King Von’s next posthumous release, as his estate recently announced via social media. Moreover, the project is scheduled to release on July 14, and the cover art features a black and white picture of the rapper’s son wearing a fitted hat and OTF and O’Block chains. While this is obviously very exciting news for fans, it’s also something that made them cautious and skeptical. After all, other posthumous releases are bloated, disrespectful, or poorly put together in fans’ eyes. As such, the comments section under the announcement split fans into optimistic excitement and wary assessment.

Of course, plenty of comments just feature fire and heart emojis, indicating a simple but powerful support of the album and King Von’s musical legacy. “Finally! This gonna slap. We ready,” one fan expressed. “Please don’t give us dry a** features that Von prolly wouldn’t have did ready to hear this tho fasho,” another wrote. If his most recent single “Robberies” is anything to go by, though, this will probably still hold itself to a higher standard of quality. Still, some fans have the worst-case scenario in mind, which has unfortunately affected a lot of deceased artists’ posthumous work.

King Von’s Estate Announces Grandson For July 14 Release

“Stop milking this dead mans music and let him rest,” one user commented under the announcement of Grandson. “bro is they doing what i think they doin ……….. A.I genarated,” another feared, although that’s purely speculation. “Don’t f**k this album up gang,” another replied bluntly. Even though these doubts exist for fans, there’s also just as many people ready to support his estate and to celebrate what could’ve been of King Von’s career. Perhaps it will end up being one of the more acclaimed hip-hop albums of the year, and even the fans who are naysayers hope that’s the case.

Meanwhile, the Chicago MC continues to inspire stories around his life, struggles, and lasting impact as an artist. Many who blasted a recent documentary about his criminal life dedicate themselves to preserving his memory in more positive ways. Von’s estate knows the pressure, and hopefully (and probably) won’t taint his catalog for a quick buck. For more news and the latest updates on King Von, check back in with HNHH.

Coi Leray Teases Upcoming Project With Sultry New Look On Instagram

May 25, 2023 by newhiphopnews

With her second album COI arriving on June 23, Coi Leray is in heavy promo mode for her next moves. As such, she’s probably very busy shooting visuals, taking press deals, and apparently debuting new looks like the one she just teased. Moreover, the rapper posted an Instagram Reel of her getting ready for what seems like a shoot, whether for a music video or something else entirely. Foregoing her usual long locks, she apparently rocked a short haircut with curls as her team put some hairspray on. Looking sultrily at the camera as her single “Bops” played in the background, she said that there are “good things coming” very soon.

Of course, this is far from the first time that she teased some sort of visual for that song in particular. Just last weekend, Coi Leray and a couple of her friends put on a twerk show for the camera while “Bops” played, yet it’s unclear if it’ll be a part of the music video or if she just built some hype. Regardless, the 26-year-old keeps leveling up and making waves that set the stage for her next moves. We’re only a month away from COI‘s release, but we’re sure that there will be much more to cover from her in that meantime.

A post shared by Coi (@coileray)

However, a lot of fans were left a little confused with the album’s tracklist, which the Boston native revealed on Monday (May 22). Furthermore, a lot of that confusion stems from the features, which don’t include the array of U.S. rappers and hitmakers that appeared on Coi Leray’s debut album Trendsetter. Rather, COI will bring on David Guetta, Saucy Santana, Giggs, Lola Brooke, Skillibeng, and none other than James Brown, somehow. All this points to more genre diversity, but singles like “Players” and the teased “Make My Day” (with Guetta) hint towards heavy sample use, plus a more electronic and dance-inspired direction.

No matter what you think of these teases, it’s clear that the “My Body” MC set herself up for a big splash. Whether she capitalized on the hype remains to be seen, but we’re sure that she’ll continue to make waves no matter what. Until then, we have to find out whether she debuts any other new looks to usher in another era in her career. For the latest news and updates on Coi Leray, stay up to date on HNHH.

Conway The Machine Cashes Out More Than “Quarters” On New Single

April 7, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Ahead of a host of new albums dropping soon, whether it’s his solo effort Won’t He Do It or his collaborative project with 38 Spesh, Conway The Machine is letting fans know early that he’s bound to meet his high quality standards. Moreover, he just released the single “Quarters,” which actually takes a slightly different approach to his usual production. The Khrysis-produced beat involves some trademarks: engaging and crisp boom-bap drums, ghostly tones, occasional chimes, and a funky lead melody. However, the buzzy staccato bass hits actually give this track a pretty unorthodox sonic pallet for Conway’s typical fare.

Lyrically, the amicably departed Griselda alum delivers a quick but impressive verse. His coke rap subject matter (however common, tried, or true) is still brought to life by lines like “Water-whipped the ounces, it’s residue in that coffee pot.” Of course, staying in that lane for the whole verse doesn’t leave much room for dynamics or a change in pace. Instead, where this track succeeds is in keeping you engaged in his layered, multi-syllabic, and expertly flowed rhymes from beginning to end. As a surprise, the track’s music video also includes the non-streaming track “Brucifix” with Westside Gunn.

Conway The Machine’s “Quarters”

Switching to Conway The Machine’s next moves, he just released a short collab tape with Drumwork signee Jae Skeese. Furthermore, as far as his upcoming team-up with 38 Spesh, it should make for a concise and gripping encounter. “Me and Conway got an album,” Spesh revealed to Bootleg Kev. “The people gotta get ready for that. It’s done, I’m gonna follow up after Gunsmoke [his recently released album] with that. The name of that album is called Special Machinery. Something serious, Special Machinery, we on there getting busy and shit, you know what I’m saying. I produced the whole joint, me and my guy Jimmy Dukes. He’s a producer from out of Buffalo, we produced the whole joint.” On that promising note, check out standout bars from “Quarters” below. Also, you can find the track on your preferred streaming service, and as always, return to HNHH for the latest on Conway The Machine.

Quotable Lyrics
B***hes be sayin’, “Oh, you definitely changed,
Callin’ me b***h in every message, you don’t text me the same, n***a” (Hahaha)
Machine, b***h, I’m a threat in the game
Tape that I did with Alchemist, I was just testin’ my aim, n***a (I’m on y’all a**)

Lil Tjay Is In Album Mode, Hints At A Broken Heart

April 6, 2023 by newhiphopnews

As he previously teased, Lil Tjay is officially in album mode, although it seems things have changed in his life since his last update. Moreover, he recently posted some pictures of him in Denmark, plus a TikTok of a hyped crowd watching him perform in Hamburg, Germany. However, his caption hints at him missing a special someone by his side, which might just motivate him even more to bring fans heat. “I USED 2 WANNA CEE THE WORLD WIT YOU… ALBUM MODEEEE,” he captioned his slideshow. Maybe that’s just to build conversation around his drop, and if so, it’s certainly working.

Amid his European tour, many of his rap peers gassed him up in the comments, like Scorey and PGF Nuk. What’s more is that the hinted heartbreak might even be a reference to some of his earlier material. Furthermore, in the chorus of his track “In My Head,” he raps, “These feelings been stuck in my head, ain’t too big on love, but with you, I’m all for it. See the world, me and you, we can tour it.” As such, whether it’s a direct reference or not, maybe he’ll take a different thematic approach to love on his album’s new cuts.

Lil Tjay Hints At Being Disappointed, But Excites Fans With Latest IG Post

However, that doesn’t mean that the New York MC is completely averse to love at this point- or that he dodged rumors of a romance between him and Ice Spice. For those unaware, these speculations sparked when he gifted his “Gangsta Boo” collaborator a Richard Millie watch around Valentine’s Day. Even though many fans were excited about a new Big Apple couple, sources close to Spice said that it was just a gift to celebrate their collab. Of course, the song saw massive success, so it is worth a $150K time reader, but the timing ironically suggested something deeper.

Meanwhile, that caption could also refer to friends in his inner circle not being around anymore, albeit for very different reasons. Recently, the 21-year-old exposed someone in his camp for snitching on him. Whether it’s for heartbreak or betrayal, at least Tjay seemed to distract himself from those feelings with a great tour around Europe. Regardless, stay logged into HNHH for the latest news and updates on Lil Tjay and his next album.

Offset Teases New Track & Visuals On Instagram

April 3, 2023 by newhiphopnews

While he’s currently embroiled in beef with his label Quality Control Music over the rights to his music and being able to release it, Offset continues to tease fans with his next album. Moreover, he just shared a song snippet with accompanying visuals on his Instagram page. In the clip, he flaunts various stylish outfits as he spits bars on his success, influence, and status in the game. Even though it’s been a rocky road for the Migos rapper, he seems committed to giving fans what he can to hold them over. Many eagerly anticipate his next project and expressed support for his rights as an artist.

Still, the situation with QCM is quite murky, dealing with issues of copyright and ownership of new material. Despite his struggles, it’s certainly not the first time Offset gave fans a peek at what’s to come. For example, he recently previewed a posthumous collaboration with his late cousin Takeoff featuring Icewear Vezzo. With that in mind, more eyes than ever are on the Georgia native’s every move, whether it’s for his legal battle or the next chapter in his career.

Offset Gets Fans Excited Again For New Album

A post shared by OFFSET (@offsetyrn)

However, all that is moot if fans aren’t excited about the new album in question. For this new teaser in particular, it seems Offset continued to push the trap formula forward with some heat. He flows with confidence and a measured pace over a slightly ethereal but bass-heavy trap instrumental. Of course, it’s by no means uncharted territory for ‘Set, but the question here is (ironically) about quality control. Amid tragedy, label disputes, and a strained relationship with Quavo, he can clearly still drop engaging trap cuts that build on his already established sound and legacy.

On the note of the QCM battle, the “54321” MC recently took to Twitter to air out his frustrations. “Never thought life be this f***ed up #LLTake. I can’t drop music also” he tweeted. “Black ppl holding black ppl back,” he wrote in another message. From what reports indicate, he and Quality Control disagree over what music the label owns, and whether they can profit from his new deal with Capitol. Hopefully that gets sorted out internally, rightfully, and in a way that doesn’t dilute his art any further. Regardless, stay logged into HNHH for the latest news and updates on Offset.

Tyler, The Creator Clears Up “Daughter” Line On New Single

March 27, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Fans went absolutely ballistic on social media following Tyler, The Creator’s newest surprise single “DOGTOOTH,” particularly a line about him having a daughter. “If you don’t know my daughter name, then we ain’t really [dawgs],” the “IFHY” star raps near the end of the song. Of course, many took this as a straight-up revelation, and social media exploded with their takes on it. “Wait did Tyler just reveal he has a daughter #or is he just rappin?” one user wrote. Furthermore, it seems like he caught on to speculation quick, as he took to Twitter to respond to these fan theories and clear the air.

“I dont have kids and dont plan on it hahaha,” he wrote about a half hour after the song debuted. With that, it seems like T was just rapping and talking his smack over a gorgeous instrumental as he often does. Meanwhile, most of the discussion online unsurprisingly revolved around love for this new track and excitement for his upcoming CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST: The Estate Sale, which is an expanded version of his acclaimed 2021 Gangsta Grillz-style tape with DJ Drama with songs that didn’t make the final cut.

Tyler, The Creator Doesn’t Have A Daughter, Or Plans To Have Kids

i dont have kids and dont plan on it hahaha

— T (@tylerthecreator) March 27, 2023

In other Tyler-related news, both fans and fellow artists alike are huge fans of his style, creativity, and musical output. For example, Lil Yachty recently said that the 32-year-old was the one who inspired him to make his latest album Let’s Start Here. Not only that, but he also expressed a strong desire to make a collab album with him one day. Considering Yachty’s own skills in a breadth of musical styles and genres, both their artistic visions could mesh incredibly well.

Meanwhile, one of the greatest artists of our generation will appear in Hulu’s “RapCaviar Presents” series alongside the likes of Megan Thee Stallion, Coi Leray, Polo G, and many more. In a trailer for the series, which premieres on March 30, he revealed some crucial advice that Pharrell gave him. “Make something undeniable and make it equally as infectious,” the Neptunes producer told him. “Why are you doing music? Is it because you just want to look cool? Because that will burn out. When it becomes purpose-oriented, it can be as cool as the flashy s**t, but it will be much more meaningful.” Then, Tyler thought, “Oh, f**k. No more being silly. Music first. At that moment, we went home, and I just wanted to change everything. I just wanted to switch. And the switch f***ing happened.” With that in mind, come back to HNHH for the latest news and updates from Tyler, The Creator and his upcoming project.
