Cardi B Updates Fans On New Album & Tour, Says She Wants To Work With This MC

September 12, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Cardi B’s promo appearances for her new Megan Thee Stallion collab single “Bongos” has been absolutely relentless so far. Her latest appearance, on Andy Cohen’s show Watch What Happens Live, also gave fans some insight into her next career moves. Moreover, the Bronx artist answered some of Cohen’s questions about the timeline of her new album, her sophomore effort, and its supporting tour. First things first: unfortunately, Bardi season won’t kick off in full force with an LP until next year. However, at least she confirmed that there will, in fact, be a big tour after her project comes out.

Other than that, she didn’t offer too many details, but she came through with the fun and vibrant content and persona that we know her for. For example, when asked by Andy Cohen what her Real Housewives tagline would be, the 30-year-old couldn’t help but reference a big controversy she faced earlier this year. “The only thing I throw harder than mics is shade,” Cardi B said to the camera with a laugh. What do you think, folks: is she getting an invite anytime soon?

Jokes aside, the “Up” hitmaker also answered a question about a long-rumored and awaited collaboration: Lil Kim. “I really do want one,” Cardi B remarked. “I’m going through the songs on my album right now… I want us to have such a great, undeniable song because I know people are going to judge it and be so harsh of it. So, I want to make sure it is the greatest song. But I would love, love, love to do a song with Lil Kim. I love her. And not because she’s Lil Kim, but because she’s such a nice person.”

Bardi Speaks On Lil Kim Collab Possibility

Meanwhile, we’ll see if she pulls out any other big singles, announcements, or teases in the lead-up to CB2. Considering the incredibly hectic media cycle in the industry, we’re sure it will fight to remain a big part of the conversation. How do you think her career is going to develop and deliver in the next few months? Let us know in the comments and check back in with HNHH for more news and the latest updates on Cardi B.

Vic Mensa Releases Another Lead Single Ahead Of “Victor” With “LVLN UP”

September 11, 2023 by newhiphopnews

One of the many talents out of Chicago, VIC MENSA, is back once again with his second single. In particular, it is the next track to be featured on his next studio album, Victor, which comes out September 15. This is a big deal for the rapper and singer because, shockingly, this will only be his second solo album. It is crazy to think about that, considering the fact that VIC is a veteran in the rap game at this point.

He has plenty of projects out, but they are almost all EPs. In 2021 and 2020 the I TAPE and V TAPE were both just a few tracks long. 93PUNX, while that is an album, was a collaboration record with the band 93PUNX. Hooligans, released in 2018, a year after his debut project, The Autobiography, is just eight tracks. Finally, in 2016 his first effort was also an EP called There’s Alot Going On.

Listen To “LVLN UP” From VIC MENSA

“LVLN UP” is a much different song than his previous single, “Blue Eyes.” This track has a more personal storytelling feel. In particular, VIC is speaking on his personal life experiences and the racism he has faced. In a gut-wrenching performance, he talks about wanting to be white to escape this reality. However, this new cut is all about feeling confident and braggadocious.

What are your initial thoughts on this brand new single, “LVLN UP,” from VIC MENSA? Are you happy VIC is continuing to stay in the rap lane? Out of the two singles for his next album, Victor, which one is better? We want to hear what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your thoughts and opinions in the comments section below.

Quotable Lyrics:

Sampha Continues To Get Fans Ready For “Lahai” With “Only”

September 6, 2023 by newhiphopnews

One of the most gorgeous and captivating voices in all of music is back with his second single for his highly-awaited album. We are talking about London songwriter and R&B artist, Sampha. His one and only full-length project was released all the way back in 2017. Process featured 10 tracks, along with a bonus edition that includes two extra songs. While it was a terrific project the following sophomore album will be longer which means we can hear more greatness from Sampha.

We already got the first single to his next album Lahai back on June 28. “Spirit 2.0” was a beautiful but somewhat sad track that was layered with tons of different instrumentation. That, along with this new song, “Only,” is giving us a nice glimpse as to how vast the sounds will be on this tracklist. This new cut is almost three minutes long and has more of a conventional R&B tune.

Listen To “Only” From Sampha

The looping hi-hats give it that feel, but there’s also the inclusion of violins and piano keys. In addition, you will find more awe-inspiring singing from Sampha. Fans should love this song and the upcoming album. A short bit ago, the singer posted to Instagram to announce his next musical journey with Lahai. He says, “LAHAI,” and then proceeds to list off the meaning behind it. “My grandfather’s name My middle name My next musical chapter My next album Fever Dreams. Continuums. Dancing. Generations. Syncopation. Bridges. Grief. Motherlands. Love. Spirit. Fear. Flesh. Flight.” All of these fairly vague characteristics are tantalizing and we cannot wait to listen to it on October 20.

What are your initial thoughts on this brand new track, “Only,” from Sampha? Is this song better than “Spirit 2.0?” Are you looking forward to the release of his sophomore album, Lahai? We want to hear what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your thoughts and opinions in the comments section below.

Quotable Lyrics:

I can’t see trap door in my mind

Projectiles comin’ from the side
Projectiles comin’ for my lifе

Cardi B & Megan Thee Stallion’s Collab Single “BONGOS” Drops This Week

September 4, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The Bardi Gang and the Hotties are losing their minds on social media right now, because what they’ve been waiting for is finally here. Amid a lot of successful singles, features, legal drama, relationship drama, and a whole lot else, both femcees have been relatively quiet on the solo music release front. However, that all changed on Monday (September 4) when Cardi B finally followed up her promise for a big announcement. What’s more is that this actually confirms previous rumors and brings us not just one rap return, but two. Moreover, she and Megan Thee Stallion will release their new single “BONGOS” this week, on Friday (September 8).

Of course, this is incredibly exciting news for fans of either artist, or for people that want another smash rap hit. After all, these are the two ladies that brought us “WAP”: how could they not have another banger on their hands? No matter what Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion bring us this time, though, it still marks the start of the former’s new album rollout, presumably. The Invasion Of Privacy era is no more, and after five years of waiting, it’s a welcome treat.

Sure, this is confirmation that followed an innumerable amount of teases, hints, and speculation about the Bronx MC’s next moves. Said excitement also goes for Megan Thee Stallion. Regardless, Cardi B seems more ready than ever to usher in a new phase of her career for fans. “I’m not going to release any more collaborations, I’m going to put out my next solo single,” she told Vogue Mexico in an August cover story (which didn’t age well, but hey, we’re not complaining). “Right now I’m working on the cover art and ideas for the next record because it’s definitely coming up. So stay tuned because it’s coming out very soon. I also have plans in the world of cinema. In fact, I have plans to do everything I can: fashion, branding, I want to do it all, honey.”

Meanwhile, fans wonder whether this will mark a stylistic shift for either artist. Are we getting another hip-hop trunk-knocker and club rager, or is there something fresh to uncover? We’ll have to wait until this Friday to see. With that in mind, log back into HNHH for the latest news and updates on Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion.

Miguel Reveals The Aftermath Of His Wild “Viscera Experience”

August 29, 2023 by newhiphopnews

It has nearly been six years since the release of Miguel’s last album War & Leisure. So many great cuts are on this project and it left fans on a huge cliffhanger for countless months. But, Miguel is finally returning to album form. With the release of two singles this year “Give It To Me” and “Number 9” featuring Lil Yachty, a new full-length is on the horizon. We even have a title for it! Viscera is the name and we cannot wait for it to release.

Both songs possess extremely lush and colorful production, and of course, terrific singing from Miguel. In fact, the R&B sensation recently performed “Number 9” at his “Viscera Experience” as well as three other tracks. The unreleased cut “Rope” was the song he fittingly chose to perform as he was suspended in midair. A hook-like contraption, eerily similar to something you would see in a Saw movie, was attached to his back. Miguel hung up there for around four minutes, showing his commitment to the fans to put on a one-of-a-kind performance.

Of course, after pulling off a stunt like that, Miguel was obligated to share the damage after the show. He posted a picture to his Instagram with his torn-up back. The caption reads, “VISCERA What is your relationship to pain ? What is your relationship to change ?” Ironically, fans in the comments do not seem to be keen on Miguel’s changes, saying things like “You and Doja about to piss me off.” Or, “Please, don’t start w your weird s***. U been doing fineee sir keep it that way…smh.” It is unfortunate to see people reacting like this. However, Miguel’s new album should be what he described his experience as, “boundary-pushing.”

What are your thoughts on this picture from Miguel after his “Viscera Experience?” How far deep do you think those hooks were in his back? Are you excited about his upcoming project Viscera? We want to hear what you have to say, so leave all of your thoughts and opinions in the comments section below.

Kanye West’s New Album Is “Imminent,” Sources Claim

August 26, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Recently, two sources reportedly told NBC News that Kanye West has a new album on the way. They say he’s been working on it over the summer. According to the outlet, one of the sources worked alongside the artist in the studio. They claim they were able to give it a listen alongside Ye’s “wife,” Bianca Censori. The other source is said to have a close relationship with the controversial musician, claiming that “New music is imminent.” They additionally noted that they aren’t sure what platforms Ye will be dropping the album on.

The sources remain unknown, and their reason for going to NBC of all outlets is unclear. With that being said, these are far from the first reports of Ye’s plan to drop new music in the near future. Earlier this month, a leaker shared some new info about the artist’s alleged release plan. According to reports, the album rollout could begin as soon as October, and features previously unreleased tracks from different points in Ye’s career.

Sources Say Ye Is Working On New Music

A post shared by DJ Akademiks (@akademiks)

The leak went on to describe the new album as a mixture of The Life Of Pablo and The College Dropout. Additionally, it’s been reported that the new project features some “controversial but not antisemitic mentions of Jewish people.” At the beginning of August, a producer also claimed that Ye’s been working on a new album, calling his new material “Old Ye but new with the times.” He said that the artist was working on it at his birthday bash back in June.

Though there’s little confirmed information about the project available, it’s clear that Ye’s fans look forward to his next release. On the other hand, the artist has managed to lose a good chunk of his fanbase amid his antics over the last year or so. He’s famously made some antisemitic comments, which has raised some concern among listeners and peers. Keep an eye on HNHH for more updates on Kanye West.

Drake Fans Hope He Drops “For All The Dogs” On International Dog Day

August 25, 2023 by newhiphopnews

It’s Friday August 25 as of writing this article, and Drake fans are scrambling because For All The Dogs, his highly anticipated new album, didn’t drop like they thought it would. Moreover, his reveal of the cover art earlier this week led many to believe that this was finally the week we would get it. However, when midnight hit, OVO hopefuls everywhere checked their streaming services, and it was to no avail. It’s not like the 6 God has been teasing this album for months or years like some of his previous projects. Regardless, it doesn’t make the sting any easier to handle in the moment for fans, and they’re looking for any way out possible.

Furthermore, Drake fans have a new beacon of hope, and it’s nothing other than International Dog Day. That’s tomorrow (Saturday, August 26), and would explain the cover art reveal and be hilariously on brand. If there’s any artist that can drop outside of expected Friday release dates and still get the same attention, it’s him. As unlikely and corny as it sounds, it also sounds like exactly the kind of thing that the 36-year-old would probably get a kick out of.

Drake Fans Look To International Dog Day For Hope

All we can hope for is that Lil Yachty catches wind of this speculation, because it would probably make for another funny moment. Recently, he clowned Drake fans for thinking For All The Dogs would release today when there was no such announcement online. “y’all stup*d, no body even said for all the dogs was comin out tonight,” Yachty tweeted. In a separate video, the Let’s Start Here creative plugged his new single and said that he might drop a song every week for the rest of the year.

Meanwhile, another harsh reality to reckon with is that we might be waiting for this album for a while. At the very least, we know that it exists and is heavy on the Canadian superstar’s mind right now. With features from Bad Bunny, Nicki Minaj, and whoever else makes a splash, how could it not? For more news and the latest updates on Drake and For All The Dogs, stick around on HNHH.

Earl Sweatshirt Drops “Sentry” With MIKE Off The Alchemist Collab Album: Watch

August 24, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Earl Sweatshirt and MIKE just dropped off the Alchemist-produced track “Sentry,” the first release off of the Odd Future affiliate and the legendary beatmaker’s upcoming collaborative album Voir Dire. While it didn’t officially hit streaming services or YouTube (and we have no official release date for the project), this new track and music video spread around the Internet and social media. With a release party scheduled for this Friday (August 25), there’s good reason to believe that we’re getting this highly anticipated collab soon. What’s more is that it’s great to see Earl and MIKE collaborate given how much they’ve inspired and drawn from each other’s work.

Moreover, the track (like most of Uncle Al’s production) is a dense, earthy, and haunting sample loop that perfectly fits the MCs’ more laidback demeanor. It’s also phrased and chopped in a very interesting way, as Earl Sweatshirt and MIKE take completely different approaches when it comes to flow. The former tackles it in regular 4/4 time, or at least sounds like it, whereas the latter employs a triplet flow, switching up how “Sentry” hits rhythmically. It may be a stark and minimal soundscape, but it heightens the abstract and personal lyrics at play. Furthermore, these three creatives make a lot out of a little, using unconventional and unique approaches to turn a chop and some bars into so much more.

Meanwhile, in the music video, they simply rap in an empty and coldly lit hallway, but don’t seem disheartened by their circumstances. This often sums up their lyricism: despondent, reflective, and downtrodden; yet always resilient, vivid, and hungry. As he celebrates ten years since his first studio album Doris, Earl is still putting out high-caliber material with remarkable consistency and an emotive punch. If you haven’t heard “Sentry” yet, find it with the link below or watch the video above. Also, stick around on HNHH for more on Earl Sweatshirt, MIKE, The Alchemist, and Voir Dire.

Quotable Lyrics
Had a couple things on my chest,
That’s where the demons would sit,
I took a seat at the head,
It’s time to eat, I need to breach heavy set

J. Cole To Appear On Burna Boy’s New Album “I Told Them,” Tracklist Revealed

August 22, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Burna Boy’s new album I Told Them… is coming out this week, and now that the tracklist is out, fans are even more excited. Moreover, the full breakdown includes previous singles like “Big 7” and confirmation that his 21 S*vage collab will appear on the project. However, this news also brought us plenty of surprises through the list of features on it, which boasts some impressive names. There’s his Byron Messia collab “Talibans II,” a song with Seyi Vibez, and a guest appearance from Dave on the track “Cheat On Me.” But the feature that got fans really excited (especially hip-hop heads) is none other than Dreamville’s own J. Cole.

Furthermore, there’s even some audio floating around that seems to be a snippet of their new collaboration, a track called “Thanks.” In it, you can mostly hear Burna Boy singing over some glistening guitars, whereas J. Cole provides some ethereal ad-libs like his classic “Cole world.” Accompanied by footage of the two talking, this really ramped up anticipation for I Told Them…, as these two have never put out a song together. We expect nothing less than a great verse from the North Carolina MC that will compellingly compliment the Nigerian superstar’s performance.

Preview Of New Burna Boy & J. Cole Collab

Amid the afrobeats and dancehall artist’s sold-out shows and successful singles, his new record is poised to dominate the industry as his others have. In addition, it’s important to note that these are only a few collaborations, so Burna Boy set himself up to carry a lot of the weight on I Told Them… alone. No doubt he will deliver on that goal, and it’s also heartening to see that this isn’t a hodgepodge of different voices and approaches. What remains to be seen is if there’s a particular sonic approach on this album that differ from the 32-year-old’s past work.

Meanwhile, Cole brought us this feature in August along with his production work on Mike WiLL Made-It and Lil Uzi Vert’s new single, “Blood Moon.” As such, there will be a lot of greatness to digest from the skilled lyricist and beatmaker. Hearing him in this zone will be a treat to witness, so make sure you tune in this Friday. For more news and the latest updates on J. Cole and Burna Boy, come back to HNHH.

Drake Unveils “For All The Dogs” Album Cover, Drawn By His Son Adonis

August 21, 2023 by newhiphopnews

It looks like we might be getting For All The Dogs this week all along, and fans are ecstatic at the news. Moreover, Drake just shared the cover art for his highly anticipated new album on Instagram, further fueling rumors that it’s right around the corner. Not only that, but he also revealed that the artwork has a special meaning and marks an important milestone in the 6 God’s life. None other than his own son Adonis drew the project’s cover, which is just about the most wholesome collaboration you could get between a musician and an artist. Even though it’s a simple image, die-hards are already speculating as to what vibes it’ll represent musically.

Furthermore, the cover is an outline of an animal- probably a dog, obviously, but vague and unique enough to be open to interpretation- on a black background. The outline’s filled out by imperfect white strokes, and the four-legged and long-eared creature’s only defining features are its menacing red eyes. As such, this hints at a harder, more aggressive, or downright scary sound from Drake this time around. Previous reports, though, indicated that we might get the old Drizzy on this project with a more R&B-oriented focus.

Regardless, we’re sure that For All The Dogs will follow the rest of Drake’s discography quite fittingly. If it’s more R&B-based, then it would mark a stark difference from his previous dance outing (Honestly, Nevermind) and his trap-rooted collaboration with 21 S*vage (Her Loss). On the other hand, fans still want more of the gritty and boisterous OVO boss material that projects like the latter exemplified so well. Either way, it’s exciting to know that we’re officially closer to the album’s release than we’ve ever been.

Meanwhile, amid a highly successful tour run, this seems like the perfect time to give fans some new material. In addition, he just broke the record for the rapper with the most monthly listeners in Spotify’s history, which Travis Scott had set just days ago. We’re sure that there are only more great things to come for the Canadian superstar, Adonis, and all their proverbial “dogs.” Log back into HNHH for the latest news and updates on Drake and For All The Dogs.
