GloRilla Alludes That Her And Megan Thee Stallion Are Working On A Collab Album

October 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Since their first collaboration “Wanna Be” and their appearances on stage together, fans have been begging for GloRilla and Megan Thee Stallion to further their chemistry. It’s understandable as their rowdy energy on the track is pretty contagious and their respective styles match up well. The unofficial femcee duo listened to those requests, as the Houston act would grab her for MEGAN on the track “Accent.” Then, Big Glo would return the favor on her debut album GLORIOUS with the boisterous cut “HOW I LOOK.” On top of these records, they have conducted interviews together, have been seen on social media cracking each other up, and enjoying one another’s company.

With all of that in mind, it’s clear they have become extremely close, and the fans see that. So, it’s no surprise that they have been now harping on them to get to work on a full project together. From what it sounds like, GloRilla and Megan are answering their demands. In a recent sit-down with Ebro Darden and Apple Music (via Uproxx), the interviewer asked about this very topic. “Is there truth to the rumor of you and Megan Thee Stallion having a joint project?”

GloRilla & Megan Thee Stallion Seem To Be On The Same Page

The Memphis talent giggled as she always does, which prompted Ebro to follow up with another question in that same vein. “Y’all got some heat, y’all recorded some things?” Once again, she sort of dodged really answering, simply answering, “Yep.” Ebro then pried again, “But you can’t confirm nor deny?” “Right,” Glo responds as she bursts out into laughter once more. While it seems she doesn’t want to let the cat out of the bag entirely, it sounds like a forgone conclusion. It’s helped by the fact that Megan also alluded to it as well in a recent interview with the Inside The Industry podcast. However, if y’all want it, you’re going to need to keep pestering them. “We said we were going to sit down in December and start working on it. So, y’all really need to spam Glo for real because we’re both bulls***ters,” Meg said.

What are your thoughts on GloRilla hinting at her and Megan Thee Stallion working on a collaboration album? Do you think we will get it early next year, or will we have to wait even longer than that? Is this something you would want to hear? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding GloRilla and Megan Thee Stallion. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

Xzibit Delivers A Part Two For “Been A Long Time” 24 Years Later

October 26, 2024 by newhiphopnews

So far, we have to say that this uniting of Xzibit and Conor McGregor has been a match made in heaven. The Detroit born rapper and multimedia talent joined the UFC champion’s upstart entertainment venture Greenback Records earlier this month. The collective made the announcement on social media, writing, “In the kingdom of hip-hop, only the real ones reign supreme. A legend joins the Greenback dynasty ready to make history. We proudly welcome @xzibit to Greenback Records – the new chapter starts here.” In addition to that shocking but exciting news was the reveal of Xzibit’s first solo album since 2011’s Napalm.

Sometime next year, Greenback will house the legendary figure’s King Maker. Not much else is available in that regard. However, we now have two singles to get into as of Friday. October 11 marked his official return with the epic “Play This At My Funeral.” If you haven’t heard it yet, check it out here. But this weekend, Xzibit is dropping by with a familiar title, “Been A Long Time Pt.2.” On his popular 2000 album Restless, X dropped the inaugural track alongside the late hook master, Nate Dogg. Jenn Em fills that role on this version, and we must say she passes with flying colors. Both show off X’s slightly “softer” side, as his trademark growling delivery is still present while he raps about love and being there for his circle.

“Been A Long Time Pt.2” – Xzibit & Jenn Em

Quotable Lyrics:

I walk up in the room, they still can’t ignore the elephant
I conversate with a candidate
Energy feels great, body shaped like a figure eight
I’m real rough around the edges
She tried to seal the deal, but I was holdin’ all the leverage
Who the hell you textin’ now? Who the f*** you talkin’ to?

Summer Walker Teases Upcoming Album Again With Complicated Relationship Cut “Heart Of A Woman”

October 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Summer Walker has been in the background more since her sophomore album, Still Over It. That was a 2021 project and a sequel and follow-up to her studio debut Over It back in 2019. She does have her 2023 CLEAR 2: SOFT LIFE EP. But overall, she’s been assisting mostly in that period. 21 Savage, Bakar, Sexyy Red, Hunxho, and USHER have been beneficiaries. But in the month of October, the Atlanta, Georgia product is focused with getting back on the solo tracks. This weekend, Summer Walker has delivered “Heart Of A Woman,” her second single from her upcoming third LP, Finally Over It, which all but signifies the conclusion to what will now be a trilogy.

This series has focused on the difficulties of getting over past flings. Given the title and the content of “Heart Of A Woman,” though, Summer appears to be done with the games. This single was teased on October 11 via “+1(404) 476-6404.” It’s a voicemail of a man that she’s still dealing with, and he’s confessing his love for her amid their issues. You can hear the chorus of “Heart Of A Woman” playing in the background and it seems like they will be placed next to each other on the final tracklist. On “HOAW”, Walker is looking to end the relationship. But she’s clinging on for some reason, despite her growing disdain for him. It’s a painful but beautiful listen, as her vocals gingerly glide over the lowkey instrumental. Stream the single with the music video link below.

“Heart Of A Woman” – Summer Walker

Quotable Lyrics:

In love with you but can’t stand your ways
And I try to be strong
But how much can I take?
Put your words on your life this time
And I hope your a** ain’t lying ’cause

DMX’s Estate Begins Rollout For Posthumous LP With “Favor” Featuring Killer Mike & More

October 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Even though DMX has been gone for three years, it feels more like an eternity. He left behind one of the most successful hip-hop legacies in recent memory. The respect for him amongst his living peers is more than enough to make anyone realize just how special he was. His trademark growly delivery led to so many major hits, and they led to a massive collection of accolades. Since 2021, his estate has been trying to carry on his impact by okaying singles, collaborations, and even an album. 2024 has seen a small handful of joint efforts already, but DMX’s team is now pulling from his solo catalog this time around with “Favor” getting a wide release today.

According to a press release, this is the lead single from the Mount Vernon, New York native’s second posthumous album. It will be titled Let Us Pray: Chapter X and it will be out everywhere on December 13. It will contain eight songs (four are instrumentals) which are actually all spoken word cuts. More specifically, it’s a small collection of prayers that DMX recorded, and they are all backed by original music from producer and multi-genre songwriter, Warryn Campbell. He’s had a huge hand in some of Kanye West’s biggest songs and projects. His list of contributions includes work on Graduation, Donda, Late Registration, and JESUS IS KING. Stream DMX’s “Favor,” featuring Killer Mike, Mary Mary, and the RoyzNoyz Orchestra below.

“Favor” – DMX, Killer Mike, Mary Mary, & RoyzNoyz Orchestra

Quotable Lyrics:

I win battles that I don’t even have to fight because God fights them for me
This is the day, the set time
And designated moment for me to experience the free favors of God
That profusely and lavishly abound on my behalf
In Jesus’ mighty name, we have prayed
Amen and amen

Kanye West Launches Pre-Orders For New Album “Bully,” But Fans Still Don’t Think It Will Drop

October 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kanye West album cycles can be an exhausting affair, mainly because we never know if or when an announced project will actually drop. So while a lot of fans are very excited for his next solo album, Bully, there’s also a lot of skepticism even when he’s asking for your money for it. Moreover, Ye just launched some pre-orders for the new record comprised of digital or vinyl versions for $20 each. In addition, he also put up some shirts for sale that depict the album cover for some and display a gothic-style text of its title in others. Do you believe it will come out or will this be another Yandhi situation, even if pre-orders are already live? In any case, if you’re interested, you can find them by clicking the “Via” link down below.

Nevertheless, there are actually a lot of theories floating around Kanye West right now that have nothing to do with his upcoming album Bully. One of these was his rumored divorce from Bianca Censori, but that speculation didn’t last long at all in the rumor mill. They popped out together on a couple of occasions after this gossip started flying about this, and a recently shared photoshoot online (date unclear) has fans thinking that they’re as strong as ever.

Kanye West Drops Bully Pre-Orders: See Replies For Reactions

Sadly, other Kanye West rumors are better characterized as allegations, as he’s been accused of alleged sexual assault. At press time, neither he nor his legal team have responded to these accusations publicly, and we’ve heard no reports of a court update in either case. The suit comes from a former assistant named Lauren Pisciotta, who alleges that the Chicago artist drugged and sexually assaulted her at a party. We’ll see if we witness a public resolution to these allegations or if they seek a more private settlement.

Folks like Dame Dash are defending Kanye West while we learn more of the veracity of these allegations, so take everything with a grain of salt. That’s kind of a blanket statement for everything going on in his career right now, whether it’s albums or his personal life. Also, the disappointment of the VULTURES series certainly doesn’t help. But it also sparks hope and speculation that this time will be different.

Tyler, The Creator Announces “Chromakopia: The World Tour” Guest Starring Lil Yachty & Paris Texas

October 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Tyler, The Creator, in just a week, has one of the most anticipated releases of the year. On his YouTube page, he dropped an album announcement trailer/track called “ST. CHROMA.” After about a minute and 20 seconds elapsed, the title of the project would be revealed. CHROMAKOPIA will be the California creative’s eighth studio LP, and it will be out everywhere next Monday, October 28. He’s given us one full single from it called “Noid” which brought some serious experimentation with a Zambian rock sample. The themes about fame and being terrified of it to some degree are heavily present and it will be interesting to see where he takes the rest of the album. For now, though, Tyler, The Creator has some more exciting news to share.

Just moments ago, the eclectic multi-talent announced the CHROMAKOPIA: THE WORLD TOUR. It’s a massive undertaking, as it will kick off on February 4 in Minnesota and end on September 4 in Perth. Opening acts will include Lil Yachty and experimental rap duo Paris Texas. There are some rumors and speculation going around that they will both be on the project, so fingers crossed.

As for ticket information, here’s what we know. General on-sale will start on November 1 at 10 a.m. local time. American Express customers, though, are going to have multiple benefits and they are as follows. According to the press release, they will have access to purchase exclusive merch at select venues across the tour. AMEX sales will also start earlier than the general on-sale. That will begin on October 29 with the full breakdown available here. Right now, the website activity is so heavy that there is currently a wait time at the time of writing. If that tells you anything it’s that fans are ecstatic for Tyler’s return.

Femtanyl & Danny Brown Link For Off-The-Wall Rager “M3 N Min3”

October 15, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Danny Brown is never one to hop on conventional production and work with your standard artists. Almost all of the proof you need is on any one of his albums. Most recently, the Detroit underground icon pushed boundaries on his SCARING THE H*ES with JPEGMAFIA, as well as his solo LP Quaranta. Even though they aren’t for everyone lyrically and sonically, they were still some of the best releases last year. Now, Danny Brown is dipping his toes into the worlds of glitch and digital hardcore alongside femtanyl. Not to be confused with the dangerous drug, femtanyl is a Canadian producer and vocalist.

According to her Genius profile, “Her work has often been described as “digital hardcore,” focusing on subjects of depressive or nostalgic themes and connections to life as a trans woman in the modern day.” She’s certainly got some intriguing and niche aspects to her music, so if you’re looking for something outside the box, be sure to try out “M3 N MIN3.” This collab with Danny Brown is her first one, and given how cohesive they sound together, it may not be their last. The lyricism is extremely descriptive and gruesome at times, with lyrics like, “Lymph node infection / Go spit the leeches on the ground / It’s just seizures on repeat now.” The production is extremely fast-paced and perfect for a neon lit party. Give femtanyl’s new single “M3 N MIN3” a try with the link below.

“M3 N MIN3” – Femtanyl & Danny Brown

Quotable Lyrics:

I was up in life
Until you popped the nerves inside my eyes
You pushed your thumbs in deeper
I felt it in my spine
But now I feel much better
‘Cause I don’t gotta see what they say online

Kanye West Sounds Reminiscent Of The Old Ye In Extended Snippet Of “Beauty And The Beast”

October 15, 2024 by newhiphopnews

We think we can speak for most Kanye West listeners when we say that his last two projects have been less than desirable. Vultures 1 and Vultures 2 felt rushed, incomplete, and almost soulless at times. That is all due to the poor mixing, vocal performances, and lackluster verses from both Ye and Ty Dolla $ign. We could have been in the middle of an outstanding trilogy given how immensely talented these two artists are. Instead, the projects have sort of come and gone and we aren’t really sure how many people actually want them to complete it.

However, Kanye West does have a chance to rejuvenate this latter part of his career with his upcoming solo album, Bully. At the end of last month, he announced it during his show in China and also on Instagram. Furthermore, he teased the album at the concert by playing one of its songs, “Beauty And The Beast.” Then, about a week or so after the performance, it was reported that Ye is going to be producing the entire album. That’s how he became the icon (whether you like it or not) in music. The way he was able to put enough energy into the beats and his performances, especially earlier on in his career, led him to craft some of the best hip-hop tapes ever.

Kanye West’s Latest Preview Of “Beauty And The Beast” Sounds Refreshing

A post shared by Ye (@ye)

Whether or not that happens with Bully remains to be seen. However, this extended snippet of “Beauty And The Beast” has our attention. The reason why is because it has that “chop up the soul Kanye” vibe to it. NFR Podcast reposted the song preview on X (Twitter) and according to Ye, this recording was taken from his Haikou, China show. It features a lot more singing that rapping and it sounds dreamy, soulful, all while being fairly minimal. It feels like it’s from multiple eras such as 808s, MBDTF, TLOP, and of course College Dropout. Fans are digging it so far and it’s apparently coming very soon.

What are your thoughts on this new snippet of “Beauty And The Beast” by Kanye West? When do you think we are getting the single and Bully? Do you think this will be a massive improvement over the two Vultures projects? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Kanye West. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

PARTYNEXTDOOR Reveals He & Drake Are Putting “Finishing Touches” On Collab Album

October 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Drake and PARTYNEXTDOOR have OVO fans foaming at the mouth for their highly anticipated collab album, which is apparently supposed to come out this fall. While the window on that is closing every day, a lot of recent teases from both Toronto artists about their team-up inspired a lot of hope that it’s right around the corner. The latest fuel to this fire came from PND himself, who recently spoke to The Fry Yiy Show. During his appearance on the platform, he shared that he and the 6ix God only have a few finishing touches to add to the project, and he also expressed his excitement for it.

“I have had an insane week,” PARTYNEXTDOOR remarked. “So… You guys know what’s coming for you. PARTY and Drake have a classic. And we, you know, we trying to put the finishing touches on it, so… Yeah, it’s a jam-packed month for me filled with the thing that I love to do the most. Besides being a great dad, the world’s greatest dad. But that’s besides the point.” Hardcore fans know how much potential there is here for this collab album to be something truly special. Also, an October release would just be perfect, no?

PARTYNEXTDOOR & Drake Are Apparently Almost Done With Collab Album

However, not everything was peaches and cream for Drake and PARTYNEXTDOOR this year, or at least, that’s what some fans speculatively theorized. A lot of online users thought that Nicki Minaj shaded the duo for working with or publicly supporting Latto and Ice Spice, two of Nicki’s femcee opps. However, nothing really came of this rumor, and it’s still just an unverified fan interpretation. In reality, we doubt that there’s any rift or lack of support within OVO and Young Money, especially in the aftermath of the Kendrick Lamar battle.

Speaking of which, J. Cole’s new song addressing both Drake and Kendrick (albeit not by name, in the latter’s case) reopened that conversation again. As important and entertaining as it is to talk about, we can’t deny that the fatigue is something that, apparently, only the fans don’t feel at this point. So we’re looking forward to how Drizzy’s PARTYNEXTDOOR collab album will create a new era.

Xzibit Drops His First Single Under Conor McGregor’s Greenback Records With “Play This At My Funeral”

October 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

After 13 years, Michigan rapper Xzibit seems to be moving with a new purpose as he returns with “Play This At My Funeral.” This is the lead single for his upcoming album King Maker, which is going to be out sometime early next year. Outside of him making a grand solo return, the grimy Detroit native is doing so with a new backing. Early last week, it was announced that X signed to UFC legend Conor McGregor’s new label, Greenback Records. he kickstarted the musical endeavor in July and he’s already got Bone Thugs-N-Harmony on his roster.

Xzibit raps with intention on “Play This At My Funeral,” a track that recaps how far he’s come since coming onto the scene in the mid to late 90’s. “Guilty of shotgunning n****s ’cause they was running up
F***, I been fighting so long I sleep in combat boots / I don’t never take them off.” In addition to the emotional performance, the beat perfectly backs the wide scope themes and messages that X is laying down. 21 the Producer is credited, and he deserves a ton of recognition for the epic boom bap backdrop. It’s anthemic, cinematic, awe-inspiring, and hard-hitting, and ideal for those days where you need some extra motivation.

“Play This At My Funeral” – Xzibit

Quotable Lyrics:

On the verge of losing everything, what the f*** you mean
I’ve been working my whole life to get to this fight
To sit in this position, this is rightfully mine, right
Y’all motherf***ers know what time it is
Time to grow the f*** up, get a job, and feed your kids
Kingmaker from the West, if you wanna make it here
