Central Cee Taps Fellow Londoner RAYE For “Moi”

September 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Central Cee has been pretty prolific over the last couple of months, dropping off singles galore. It certainly has to be an exciting time for Cench fans for this reason, but also because of the roll out he’s in the middle of. Pretty soon, the London, England rapper and songwriter will be dropping CAN’T RUSH GREATNESS, and it’s being billed as his debut album. A release date is still in the works, but with just about two and a half months to go before the end of 2024, we are expecting that news to come sooner than later.

We also foresee that because Central Cee is back with the alleged third single, “Moi”. The track sees him collide with fellow Londoner RAYE, an R&B/pop songwriter, singer, and producer. She’s worked with the likes of 070 Shake, Lucky Daye, Coi Leray, David Guetta, and more. You might have heard RAYE and Shake’s ultra-popular hit “Escapism.” on TikTok or just via a playlist on DSPs. It’s an interesting marriage for sure, as Cench obviously lives in the belly of the drill scene, whereas as RAYE is known for power ballads and dance cuts. Check it out for yourself with the link below and let us know your thoughts in the comments.

“Moi” – Central Cee & RAYE

Quotable Lyrics:

The way that I’m in and out of these countries, f*** and duck, I don’t get to hang
Put on my cape and set her free, I’m the reason that she left her man
Good things come to those who wait, I don’t believe that, bro, you gotta grind
Two iPhones, gotta switch devices, bro’s showin’ me which sticks to buy
I’m here tonight but gone tomorrow, if you wanna f***, then quick, decide
The United Kingdom tax too high, so I might leave and dip Dubai

Travis Scott Is “Back In Album Mode”

September 5, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Travis Scott once had fans thirsting for UTOPIA for five years straight, but now, it seems like he’s more excited than ever to keep making art. Moreover, that 2023 album is still beloved and highly successful thanks to its replay value and its ongoing tours, and he just re-released his fan-favorite 2014 mixtape DAYS BEFORE RODEO on streaming services for the first time ever to much acclaim and sales controversy. As such, it might surprise you to hear that La Flame is apparently already working on his next full-length effort. He revealed this during a new Cultured magazine interview with legendary visual artist George Condo.

“I’m gonna be back in New York,” Travis Scott remarked. “I’m back in album mode. I’ve been working on music and s**t every day on tour. When I’m doing the stadiums, because they’re sold out, I can see the music for what it is. I’m f***ing amped.” “We’ve always approached everything from scratch, not doing loops,” he said of his overall creative process when it comes to making music. “Taking music back to the real raw art. Cooking things instead of having them passed down.”

Of course, this isn’t really something new for Travis Scott in concept. He followed up ASTROWORLD with the JACKBOYS EP the next year, plus a slew of singles up until UTOPIA dropped. Also, let’s not forget the massive hype that formed around ASTROWORLD before Birds In The Trap Sing McKnight had even dropped back in 2016. But considering the precedent that the Houston rapper’s five-year wait created, this should be a very exciting preview for fans. Let’s just hope it’s legit. After all, we’ve already had some canceled sneaker color-ways this year…

Jokes aside, we’ll see in due time what Travis Scott’s next full-length looks like. Whether it comes around quickly in 2025 or it’s the start of a years-long process, we’re sure that the results will impress, inspire, and engage. Meanwhile, fans are still salty about the sales battle between Sabrina Carpenter’s Short N’ Sweet and DAYS BEFORE RODEO. But selling over 360K copies of a ten-year-old mixtape is a larger flex than most No. 1 chart debuts.

Dr. Dre Links Up With Mustard In Studio Amid Snoop Dogg Album Hype

September 4, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Hip-hop in general has had an importantly resurgent year thus far in 2024. You can certainly point to a lot of MCs for that. However, producers, like usual, are contributing their fair share as well. One of them has been Mustard (DJ Mustard). After remaining quite silent for a little while, these first nine months have been opposite. You’ve heard his producer tag all throughout the summer thanks to his production on Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us”. Additionally, though, you can point to his latest solo album, Faith Of A Mustard Seed. He was able to grab tons of impressive guests, including Travis Scott, Young Thug, ScHoolboy Q, Quavo, Roddy Ricch, and more.

Hopefully, very soon, we can add Dr. Dre to this conversation. Over the last couple of months or so, we have been receiving some encouraging updates surrounding Missionary. It’s being billed as the sequel project to Doggystyle, which of course is Snoop Dogg’s iconic debut. Dr. Dre is handling all of its production and there’s some belief that November will be the month it arrives. It would make sense, as the 23rd of that month will mark the 31st anniversary of Doggystyle. But while that’s in the works, Dr. Dre is taking some time away to meet up with Mustard.

Could Mustard Be Helping Dr. Dre With Snoop’s Album?

A post shared by Mustard (@mustard)

According to HipHopDX, the Perfect Ten creator shared the photo of them in the studio together with the caption, “Back in the lab with my pen and my pad.” This could mean a lot of things. One, Mustard could be receiving some knowledge from one of the West Coast pioneers. He could just be referencing some of Dre’s iconic lyrics. Or they could be cooking up some beats for Missionary. Hopefully, it’s the last one and will be running to the credits for Missionary when it drops to see if Mustard was granted a great opportunity.

What are your thoughts on Dr. Dre and Mustard flicking up in the studio together? Do you think this could mean anything for Snoop Dogg’s Missionary? Or do you see it being just them bouncing ideas off each other? 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 Mustard and Dr. Dre. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

Conway The Machine & Ransom Announce A Brand-New Collab Project And It’s Coming Soon

September 4, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Conway the Machine and Ransom were getting some fans hopeful over this past weekend. Two of New York’s underground greats, along with producer V Don and Lloyd Banks, dropped a posse cut, “Higher Killer”. The single is dark and intense, and of course features great rapping from all three MCs. During its release, neither artist involved mentioned anything about it being a lead off track. However, if you were checking out the Genius page for it, it was saying that “Higher Killer” was off a project.

It was listed under Chaos Is My Ladder Too, a collab tape between Ransom, Conway, and V Don. Fans were wondering if this was actually the start to a project roll out last Friday. Now, those suspicions are confirmed, according to HipHopDX. Ransom shared a joint Instagram post with the Griselda affiliate on the main feed with a revealing caption and image. The official cover consists of intimidating black and white portraits of the two rappers.

Conway The Machine & Ransom Got Off To A Great Start Already

It’s easily one of the coldest covers of the year. But Ransom wasn’t done spilling details. According to the caption, fans don’t have to wait hardly any longer for Chaos Is My Ladder Too. “Chaos Is My Ladder with @whoisconway The MACHINE & @vdonsoundz the Dark WIZARD FRIDAY!!!!”. To be clear that is this week, September 6. Everyone, including us, is clearly ready for this to happen as evidenced by all of the “” in the comments section.

What are your thoughts on Ransom and Conway the Machine dropping a project together? Is this going to be one of the best underground hip-hop records of the year? Have you been messing with the lead single, “Higher Killer”? 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 Ransom and Conway the Machine. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

Playboi Carti Gives Hopeful Progress Update On His Eagerly Awaited “I Am Music” Album

September 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Saying that Playboi Carti fans are ready for I Am Music would be a massive understatement. The influential Atlanta, Georgia MC has been teasing his third studio album for quite a while, with a lot of it happening at the beginning of this year. The 28-year-old put out several tracks on his YouTube and Instagram accounts such as “EVILJ0RDAN”, “BACKR00MS”, “Ketamine”, “2024”, and more. Despite a lack of new singles or any news for that matter, Carti has been keeping busy in the features department.

He’s worked with the likes of Metro Boomin and Future, Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign, Camila Cabello, Drake and more. A few of his contributions have led to some high charting success, so at least he’s active and staying relevant. However, we would be lying if we said that this was enough. Thankfully, we are finally getting some more news surrounding I Am Music and it’s good. Billboard released a revealing feature on the mysterious rager that was conducted right before Lyrical Lemonade’s Summer Smash in June.

Playboi Carti Is A “Meticulous” Creator

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by billboard (@billboard)

In the article, he reveals that the album is still in the works and is still slated for a 2024 release. Throughout the piece, Carti is described as “meticulous”. The “Magnolia” hitmaker was frustrated with the creative losses during the recording of Whole Lotta Red thanks to leaks. It’s maybe why he’s taking an even more precautious approach to I Am Music, making sure that the art remains hidden, for the most part. Carti’s manager and Opium CEO, Erin Larsen, perhaps described it best when it comes to how he views his craft. “He’s giving people his absolute best, things that he wants to put his stamp on. It delays the process. You don’t want to see the Mona Lisa in an art museum before it is a finished piece of work”. While this might anger some, we are even more excited to hear what’s in store for us.

What are your thoughts on Playboi Carti saying that I Am Music is going to be releasing this year? Do you think everything will go according to plan, why or why not? Does this feature with Billboard reveal a lot to you about who Carti is? 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 Playboi Carti. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

Tommy Richman Delivers An Emotional Ballad With “THOUGHT YOU WERE THE ONE”

August 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Tommy Richman has become both a darling and a mortal enemy in the eyes of hip-hop purists. The DMV/Woodbridge, Virginia singer and rapper has been making waves in the underground/indie scene for a few years now. Since being taken under by R&B mainstay Brent Faiyaz, his career has really blossomed. He’s now a superstar in the making and like we said earlier there are some mixed feelings towards his growing popularity. “MILLION DOLLAR BABY” is the record that’s been ruffling some feathers, but he is clearly not looking to fit into any mold. Tommy Richman is showing that with each new release, including on “THOUGHT YOU WERE THE ONE”.

This single number four or five from his next full-length project COYOTE, which will be out on September 27. Part of the reason that Tommy Richman doesn’t really conform to any sort of stereotype are his unique production choices and wild vocal delivery. His high pitch notes are something that no one could really replicate in our opinion. It might sound goofy and too over the top to some, but to us its a breath of fresh air. His upper register allows for the emotional weight of the song to really shine through. You can hear the wishful thinking in his voice somehow, as he dreams about wanting a girl to be in his life. Check out the single with the link below.

“THOUGHT YOU WERE THE ONE” – Tommy Richman

Quotable Lyrics:

Maybe thеre’s a chance if I pray every day, I’ma get what I want to
I dreamed last night, you’re in my head
You’re always sticking with me even when I don’t want you
I’m treating you right, not doing you wrong
I know you won’t forget the night you spent so long
Looking at my face, my eyes are a maze

Lil Tecca Pens An Earworm About Poor Relationships With “BAD TIME”

August 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Queens, New York rapper, singer, and producer Lil Tecca is continuing to tease his next album with “BAD TIME”. It’s potentially the fifth offering from what will presumably be called Plan A. At this moment in time, the 22-year-old has not announced an official release date nor the tracklist for it. However, Genius is predicting it to hit streaming platforms this September, so we will see what happens. In some other potential news, with “BAD TIME” being out we may have a hint as to what the cover art for Plan A could be. It features a white background with a minimalist cheetah skin clock.

Prior to this, Genius had a full cheetah skin for the artwork. We aren’t really sure what that could all mean, but we are just trying to find some more information on what could be a great Lil Tecca project. We say that because a majority of the singles have been hitting thanks to some truly sticky melodies and flows. “BAD TIME” features more of the same while the “500lbs” artist raps about being in a constant rotation of bad relationships. Based on all of these relationship cuts we have gotten it could be fair to say that Tecca is making more of a melodic/R&B type of vibe.

“BAD TIME” – Lil Tecca

Quotable Lyrics:

Check my phone, now the ho say she miss me
Smokin’ this gas got me feelin’ risky
When it come to a freak, I ain’t even picky
Just off this fit, turn her to a pick me
I stay with my twin, Mordecai and Rigby (Oh my)
You worried ’bout Tec, I give a n**** fifty

LL COOL J & Eminem Have A Rap Battle On “Murdergram Deux”

August 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

After just over 11 years of waiting, LL COOL J fans will soon be able to enjoy a new album. Next Friday, September 6, the man who continues to defy Father Time will be dropping off The FORCE, his 14th studio LP. The acronym “FORCE” stands for Frequencies of Real Creative Energy, and it’s something that LL COOL J has continued to bring up during its rollout. “When you listen to this album, you’re not just hearing music, you’re experiencing a whole new vibe, a whole new level of artistic passion“, he said in statement. That “passion” is certainly on full display on this new LL COOL J single “Murdergram Deux”.

If that title sound familiar, it’s because there was an unfinished version of the song that got leaked online. It was originally titled just “Murdergram”, but after people spoiled it, LL went back to the drawing board. That is most likely why it’s now called “Murdergram Deux”, with the latter word meaning “two” in French. This track was hyped up big time, thanks Eminem’s inclusion. Both legends can really rap their a** off and their command of flow, as well as their lyrical abilities are front and center here. It feels like they were trying to outdo one another and if so, it’s intense. As with all of the tracks on The FORCE, this was one was handled by Q-Tip, but Em also has credits. Both murder the beat and are also doing the same to the competition with this one. Be sure to stream it with the link below.

“Murdergram Deux” – LL COOL J & Eminem

Quotable Lyrics:

Do you remember first time you heard the legend in leather?
The career ender with the road-killer stuck to his fender
I’m on another bender, drunk off the power that make a coward surrender as I devour contenders
Talkin’ foul of whoever, your head is ’bout to get severed
Then I bounce it with pleasure, I’m pouring out Amaretto
Homies, I won’t forgеt ’em, so tap the bottle and pour it

ASAP Rocky Shows Off His Wacky World In New “Tailor Swif” Music Video: Watch

August 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

ASAP Rocky was supposed to come out with his new album Don’t Be Dumb today (August 30), but alas, life isn’t always fair. Still, at least he clapped back at the leaks by officially releasing his song “Tailor Swif” and its accompanying music video, as this is one of many songs that emerged online unofficially. Moreover, it’s quite the wild visual set in Kyiv, Ukraine, showing off a whole host of odd characters and very bizarre situations. Overall, it’s exactly the kind of creativity that we would expect from the Harlem multi-hyphenate, and an exciting indication of the creativity this album will surely embody.

Furthermore, A$AP Rocky’s last music video was for “HIGHJACK,” and it was a similarly trippy and awe-inspiring affair. “In this very moment, it’s very grim. That’s an abbreviation,” he recently told Billboard concerning his mentality for this rollout. “It’s infusing German expressionism with ghetto futurism.” It’s probably this type of stylistic melding that prompted the rapper to link up with Tim Burton. “I sat and I played the album for Tim Burton, and he was f***ing with it heavy,” he shared. “He was rocking his head and he’s like, ‘Wow! I didn’t know you made that kind of music!’”

Elsewhere during that interview, A$AP Rocky also spoke on his love for his partner, Rihanna. “It’s crazy how we find balance with our chaotic schedules,” he remarked. “[The relationship] is going great. I don’t think there’s a more perfect person because when the schedules are hectic, she’s very understanding of that. And when the schedule’s freed up, that’s when you get to spend [the] most time together. It’s all understanding and compatibility.”

Meanwhile, other folks are making a big deal out of ASAP Rocky’s comments on his Drake beef, either dismissing them outright or itching for another go. “You got to realize, certain n***as was throwing shots for years,” he expressed to Billboard. “I ain’t in the middle of that s**t. That’s not how I retaliate right now. I got bigger fish to fry than some p***y boys. It is real beef outside. It is real. N***as getting really clipped and blitzed every day. N***as sniping n***as every day. That little kitty s**t ain’t about nothing.”

Big Sean Had Everyone Screaming “I Don’t F*** With You” With His 2015 Smash Hit

August 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

After multiple setbacks and leaks, Big Sean is finally releasing his next studio album Better Me Than You this Friday. Overall, it’s been a mentally and emotionally taxing process for the Detroit, Michigan rapper. In fact, during a recent Instagram Live, he let his emotions out, getting pretty tearful explaining what he’s been going through trying to get this album as perfect as he possibly could despite all sorts of roadblocks. “When you make art, you put your heart into this s***”, he told his IG audience. Now, him and his fans can celebrate all of the hard work on August 30, and we can also not wait for what’s in store.

So, to tide our appetites over, we are heading back to one of his biggest bangers and records ever, “I Don’t F*** With You”. As most people know, this 2015 track landed on his third studio album Dark Sky Paradise, one of his releases with G.O.O.D. Music and Def Jam Recordings. One thing about Big Sean is that he’s always going to rap with a lot of fervor, especially on his aggressive sounding tracks. He does this through using zany voice inflections, something that newbies to his music are just now coming to learn about. It’s part of the reason why this song became such a hit. However, you cannot forget about the iconic pre-chorus and chorus, the high school football music video, and the equally entertaining E-40 verse. Relive “I Don’t F*** With You” below.

“I Don’t F*** With You” – Big Sean & E-40

Quotable Lyrics:

(Mustard on the beat, ho) I don’t f*** wit’ you
You lil’ stupid a** b****, I ain’t f***in’ wit’chu
You lil’, you lil’ dumb a** b****, I isn’t f***in’ wit’chu
I got a million trillion things I’d rather f***in’ do
Than to be f***in’ with you (You,) lil’ stupid a**
