Playboi Carti Looks Locked In During Rolling Loud Europe Set As Fans Pray For The New Album

July 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Let’s use our imagination real quick: it’s 2060, your grandchild just took his first steps, and Playboi Carti finally released the follow-up album to Whole Lotta Red. While many fans hope that we get this new project in 2024 after relentless teases and promises, this future fantasy is the more likely outcome at this point. But that doesn’t mean that we won’t wait patiently as long as he keeps engaging with fans, as he recently did in electric fashion at Rolling Loud Vienna over the weekend. On Opium’s Instagram page (or Carti’s finsta, maybe? A promo account? Who knows?), a new picture appeared of the Atlanta rapper at the festival, and it’s the clearest photo we’ve gotten of him in quite a while.

Furthermore, delusional fans online (don’t worry, so are we) hope that this suggests the album is coming very soon, and that these new performances will fuel something greater. What’s more is that producer Cardo recently spoke on “finishing up” Playboi Carti’s new album very recently, adding fuel to that fire. “I don’t know, man, it’s been going crazy. That’s all I know… In a good way. It’s been crazy fun,” he expressed in a new video.

In addition to all this, it’s not like Playboi Carti stopped giving us song snippets previewing his work, as the most recent of these landed just a couple of weeks ago. Still, they did become much less frequent after the barrage of new tracks in late 2023 and early 2024. So no one really knows what’s going on with this new album or why it hasn’t dropped yet, whether because he’s a perfectionist, leaks, label issues, and all those other speculative coping mechanisms. Maybe, just maybe, we’ll get an answer to this soon.

Meanwhile, we know that as long as Playboi Carti continues to perform, he can maintain a whole lot of hype and excitement around him and his artistry regardless of new album drops. He ranked among the best sets at Summer Smash this year, a tall order with such a stacked lineup. Hopefully these festival sets and the like continue to build off one another and are contributing to upcoming releases. Also, with a lot of allegations emerging against him and Opium in the past few years, we can’t imagine that this made things any easier.

Ice Spice Previews New Song About Cheaters Amid Central Cee Dating Rumors

July 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Ice Spice has an army behind her waiting for the release of her upcoming album Y2K, and she hasn’t let her foot off the gas when it comes to setting the stage. Moreover, she recently teased a new song amid Fourth of July fireworks presumably in Denmark, as she performed there on the U.S. holiday for a festival and hit the stage with the same outfit as the one she wears in this clip. The Bronx femcee talks about doing her cheating partners worse than they’re doing her, clutching her purse, and doing that reverse -– no Uno. She does so over a moody and woozy Jersey sample flip, which joins her drill flips as her bread and butter these days.

Speaking of those musical styles, Ice Spice recently praised her collaborator and upcoming tour mate Cash Cobain for being the sound of the moment right now. “Cash really has my attention right now,” she remarked to Bootleg Kev during a recent interview. “I’ve been listening to him a lot. It’s really his time, so he’s mostly who I’m a fan of right now.” It’s ironic because he thinks that his XXL freshman freestyle is “a**,” but he clearly has a big audience for his artistry.

Ice Spice’s Latest Snippet Ahead Of Y2K

One aspect of Y2K that people are curious to hear is whether or not Ice Spice will address any of her female rap peers. Of course, this is mostly due to how there’s a lot of alleged, pretty undeniable, and also outright examples of beef between them in 2024. As for Ice Spice, her supposed target (and vice versa) is Latto, and they seemed to shade each other at the BET Awards recently through their performances of their apparent diss tracks against each other. Will we see this boil over or will it stay as close to indirect as it can be without crossing the line?

Meanwhile, this new song preview about cheaters also raised fans’ eyebrows thanks to some recent dating rumors. Fans think Ice Spice and Central Cee are an item, even though there have been similar rumors about Spice’s producer RIOTUSA. We don’t know whether anything will ever come from this. But for so many different angles, everybody’s curious about what Y2K holds, and we can’t wait to hear it.

JID Reassures That His Collab Album With Metro Boomin Is Coming: “It’s Just About Making It Right”

July 5, 2024 by newhiphopnews

JID and Metro Boomin are two of hip-hop’s most in-demand artists right now without question. Both have put together some of the best projects, especially in the mainstream, through the halfway mark of the 2020 decade. For the superstar producer, you have him and 21 Savage’s SAVAGE MODE II and HEROES & VILLAINS. Additionally, WE DON’T TRUST YOU and its quick follow-up WE STILL DON’T TRUST YOU are some of the biggest of 2024, partially due to their fueling of the Kendrick Lamar and Drake beef. For JID, it is not as expansive of a catalog. However, The Forever Story is arguably the most complete body of work over the last four years.

These reasons are why it was such a huge deal when they revealed that they were in the process of cooking up a collaboration project back in March of 2023. Metro Boomin’s tweet basically set hip-hop Twitter ablaze, “Got a lot of new music coming but when me and @JIDsv drop ”. JID then confirmed that it was an album and not just a single after one user originally claimed, “Metro Boomin Teases His Song With JID”. Since that bombshell, both have been repeatedly asked if it still in the works.

JID And Metro Boomin Are Hard At Work

Each and every time, both of them have reassured fans and interviewers that they are still on course to get this done. JID did more of the same after a recent interview. “We’re working on that project every single day… We have so much music, it’s just about making it right… “It’s happening for sure”, JID clarified. He also vaguely hinted that he has been working on a ton of other things right now too, so who knows what that could mean. The only question is now, “when is the Metro tape happening?”. The Georgia rapper has previously not wanted to give anyone false on hope on that detail. We would not be surprised if it is not until later this year or maybe early 2025. Metro also recently just revealed that him and NAV are cheffing something up too, so no one should be too optimistic as of now.

What are your thoughts on JID claiming that his album with Metro Boomin is still on the way? Will this be one of the best trap tapes of all time when it drops? When do you see them dropping this and why? Do you want to see them grab any features for it? 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 JID and Metro Boomin. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

Logic Reveals The Drop Date & Tracklist For Sought After LP “Ultra 85”

July 5, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Prolific Maryland rapper Logic is finally ready to unleash Ultra 85 and it is coming very soon. According to the NFR Podcast‘s X account, the album will release on August 9th and possess 20 tracks. Fans of his know that he has already previewed the project three times over the last five months. Logic has dropped “Fear”, “44ever”, and “Deja Vu”, which is the most recent of the trio. According to Genius, this will supposedly be the veteran’s final album, but we know happened after No Pressure in 2020. He went on to release several fan-fare mixtapes and singles, so who really knows what is in store Logic following this.

Just like his future, the chance of Ultra 85 existing was also in limbo for many years. Some of his fans have even claimed that they have been waiting on this since the mid 2010s. With Logic being so hard to read overall, it is no surprise that this project has taken so long to come to fruition. If this indeed his going away gift to his fans, then we hope it will be one of his best yet. For the speedy lyricist, Ultra 85 is supposedly also going to be the conclusion to the storyline on 2017’s Everybody.

Logic Finally Has Concrete Details For Ultra 85

If you remember, it was about how Atom, voiced by BigVon, dies in a car crash and is reincarnated by God, played by Neil DeGrasse Tyson. Everyone else also receives the same treatment. Each song is every perspective that Atom has lived through, which ties into the themes of Everybody, which is Logic’s experiences of being black and white. It is something that has divided listeners over the years, but time and time again, people still come back to his music. A lot more should do the exact same for Ultra 85 as well.

What are your thoughts on Logic releasing Ultra 85 on August 9th? Are you still ready to listen to this album, why or why not? Does this have the chance to be his greatest project based on all the information we have? 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 Logic. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

Cardi B Takes An R&B Approach In New Song Preview: Listen

July 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Cardi B is back to teasing her fans with some new music on social media as they eagerly await her sophomore LP. The Bronx, New Yorker has been taking her sweet time since the release of her GRAMMY-winning debut full of hits, Invasion of Privacy, back in 2018. However, even with it being over six years in between projects, she still has incredible pull. Cardi B’s last few solo singles such as “Enough (Miami)”, “Like What (Freestyle)”, “Bongos”, and “Hot S***” all have over 24 million streams each. Additionally, he influence is still there, as she recently won the Hollywood Unlocked Inspiration Award. Overall, the details on the hitmaker’s next album are extremely muddy.

All we can really assume right now is that those songs we mentioned are potential tracks for the project. We have no word on an artwork, features, a title, and most importantly, a release date. For now, fans of Cardi B are going to have to continue to sit around and wait patiently, although that is already highly unlikely. In fact, viewers of the 2024 BET Awards were hopelessly searching for any sort of clues about the tape. Cardi wore a bedazzled jersey with the number “11” on it and some were speculating that it could mean that CB2 is dropping in November on the 11th day of a random month.

Now with the 31-year-old superstar previewing some new music, the Bardigang will only continue to get more restless. Cardi B’s musical style is typically very aggressive and fiery, as she does not have too many slow and sensual cuts in her discography. However, she looking to experiment as evidenced by this clip from her Instagram Story. She asks her followers, “Yall like this vibe for CB2?”. The “Bodak Yellow” femcee lip syncs the lyrics to her full-on R&B snippet that sees her sing instead of rap. Her voice is heavily auto tuned, and some were criticizing how it does not even sound like her. Cardi B has not announced that this track is coming, at least for now.

What are your thoughts on this new song preview from Cardi B? Do you think she should continue to create more R&B songs like this going forward? When do you think she will finally deliver her sophomore album? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments.

The Kid LAROI Pays Homage To Early 2000s Pop Hits With “GIRLS”

June 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The Kid LAROI is rocking frosted tips and staring daggers in the music video for “GIRLS”. If those two things do not scream 2000s to you, then we do not know what to tell you. The Australian multi-genre superstar is paying homage to a time in music that was dominated by acts like NSYNC, Christina Aguilera, and more. Overall, “GIRLS” is a fun summertime radio bop about being the man all the ladies want. The instrumental is quite addicting and definitely draws from that era. Helping that come to live is a healthy list of producers, including current pop/alternative star, Jon Bellion.

LAROI’s performance is also very reminiscent of that time, as her rocks a more lowkey and monotone delivery. It sounds quite similar to something Jack Harlow would lay down on a track. Speaking of which, fans on The KID LAROI’s Instagram have since been demanding Harlow hop on a remix. It would be a great match, as the Kentucky rapper’s voice would fit perfectly over this mellow production. People are also asking for his new girlfriend and fellow pop sensation Tate McRae to join him for a new version of “GIRLS”. We will have to wait and see about either of those possibilities, but LAROI should look into that. The single is already trending on YouTube, as it has over one million views so far.

Listen To “GIRLS” By The Kid LAROI

Quotable Lyrics:

F*** your ex-man, I’m the man now
Think I feel bad, he was fanned out
Do what you like, you’ve been too nice
He didn’t do right, that’s too bad now

BLK ODYSSY & Joey Bada$$ Fawn Over A Dream Lady On “STANK ROSE”

June 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

BLK ODYSSY and Joey Badas$$ are falling hard for a woman on their first-ever song together, “STANK ROSE”. This is the fourth single for the New Jersey born singer/songwriter’s third album, 1-800 FANTASY. The project will hit streaming platforms on July 19 and will contain 13 songs. Only three of them will contain features, and those guests additionally include Wiz Khalifa and Harry Edohoukwa. The Austin, Texas based artist is known for his smooth and lowkey delivery over alternative production.

That is what BLK ODYSSY is providing on “STANK ROSE”. Him and Joey are absolutely smitten for a woman who does not really know who they are. However, the two genre-bending artists are tossing and turning every night just thinking about her. The songwriting is a major highlight here, especially on Joey’s part. It makes sense, though, as the New Yorker is well versed in crafting R&B-like bars. You really get the feeling that he has a lot of thoughts running through his head about he can get her to notice him. BLK ODYSSY is no slouch either, delivering a captivating and heartbreaking performance. “STANK ROSE” is definitely worth a spin, and it should be an indicator that great things are coming on 1-800 FANTASY.

Listen To “STANK ROSE” By BLK ODYSSY & Joey Bada$$

Quotable Lyrics:

Dear diary her eyes so fiery
The way she looking at me I can tell she admires me
I just wish we could have a chance to talk privately
If cupid gave me one shot Id have her heart entirely
But I know she probably out of my league and got a man who treat her properly

The Fugees Are Reportedly Working On A New Album

June 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

There are not many hip-hop collectives that you can rank above the Fugees. Even with their short run as a group, the amount of creative talent between Wyclef Jean, Pras Mitchell, and Ms. Lauryn Hill is nearly unmatched. They left an indelible mark on the community through the effortless blending of other genres while also being lyrically sound. The Score is recognized as an essential 1990s record, but also a must-listen for any fan of rap. They laid down so many great tracks like “Killing Me Softly With His Song”, “Ready or Not”, and “Fu-Gee-La”. Now, it seems the Fugees are looking to craft more unforgettable tracks, as they are reportedly working on a new album.

According to an undisclosed source with Page Six, the three-headed monster is ready to make a comeback after 28 years. Following their unfortunate split, Hill, Jean, and Pras all went on to forge their own paths. Only one of them extended beyond the 90s decade, and the other two dropped just one record in 1998. But as of late the Fugees have been performing more frequently under their stage name.

The Fugees Are Making A Comeback?!

A post shared by HOLLYWOOD UNLOCKED (@hollywoodunlocked)

According to Hollywood Unlocked, it was around this time last year that they performed at the Roots Picnic in Philadelphia. Additionally, the Fugees made appearances at the Global Citizen’s Festival in Central Park and then the Kia Forum in Inglewood, California, later that same year. Now, pretty soon, Hill and the gang are going to be hitting the stage on 21 separate occasions. In August, the tour celebrating the 25th anniversary of The Miseducation is restarting after Hill was forced to cancel her run last year due to a serious vocal strain. Her and the guys will be traveling across the United States as well as Europe. May be that will be the time they record some new music together?

What are your thoughts on The Fugees reportedly working on a new album? How soon do you think this will drop and why? Where do you rank them all time in terms of rap groups? Should it be a project with no features, or should they include some? 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 the Fugees. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

Skepta Hops On The Sexy Drill Wave With R2R MOE-Assisted Single “Miss Independent”

June 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Skepta is one of the UK grime’s most beloved figures and for good reason. The Tottenham rapper and DJ’s scope extends past hometown, as he immensely popular over here in the States. He really is one of the leaders when it comes to bringing that sound to various audio markets. It is why he has so many listeners eager to get their hands on upcoming seventh studio album, Knife And Fork. It is hopefully coming soon, as Skepta is back with its fourth single, “Miss Independent”.

Big Smoke began the rollout in late January with “Jangrova”. It remains to be a rewarding listen and it is equal parts exhilarating and manic. Skepta dropped it alongside actor Idris Elba, ODUMODUBLVCK, and Tribal Mark. Then, the veteran would give us the more by-the-numbers but still engaging, “Gas Me Up (Diligent)”. The track’s cover art got the influential figure in some hot water for its assumed callback to The Holocaust. Finally, Skepta, Portable, and JAE5 would merge for an Afrobeats rhythm on “Tony Montana”.

This brings us to “Miss Independent”, the most love-centric and vulnerable song yet. It features R2R MOE, a New York drill artist who is a sexy drill advocate. It is clear that Skepta is going to give fans a bevy of soundscapes on Knife And Fork, as he adopts the drill subgenre taking the industry by storm. The production feels very Cash Cobain-esque. Instead, he is nowhere to be found here. PoWR Trav handles the instrumental and incorporates a stunning sample into the mix. See how Skepta fares on “Miss Independent” with the music video link below.

Listen To “Miss Independent” By Skepta & R2R MOE

Quotable Lyrics:

I think I’ve been too polite so nowadays I’m moving precise (Huh)
‘Cause if love is a losing game, then you know I ain’t losing twice (Never)
Trust, she wants to be my wife, my boo for life
I told her I’m too busy for thе bad vibes, I’m only comin’ around if the mood is right (Trust)
Last time, shе made me spend my savings, who knows what I’m gonna do this time (Huh?)
I’m in boobytrap, my guy needs a visa, he’s tryna choose his wife (Ha)

June 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Trippie Redd is riding off the momentum from his collaborative genre : sadboy EP with fellow Ohioan mgk with “Bando Kid”. Unfortunately, the wave is not all that substantial, as lot of fans were pretty disappointed in the final product. Additionally, his solo stuff as of late is not generating the same amount of hype lately, too. “LWRW” (Left Wrist Right Wrist), as well as his last three projects came and went for a lot of folks. However, Trippie Redd might be drawing some people back in with “Bando Kid”.

This track, along with “LWRW” figure to make the cut for LIFE’S A TRIP 2. Yes, a sequel to his well-received debut album in 2018 is possibly coming this year.
