GloRilla Reveals Her Loaded Feature List For Upcoming Debut Album “Glorious”

October 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

For GloRilla, she really couldn’t have had any better of a year. Even though she hasn’t been doing this for that long, this may go down as her best stretch ever. She delivered her most solid release to date with Ehhthang Ehhthang (at least in our opinion) received tons of nominations across the board and dropped some of the biggest hits of 2024. “Yeah Glo!” was a terrific and empowering comeback for the Memphis native, as there was a lot of doubt surrounding her following a lackluster 2023 in some people’s eyes. “TGIF” may not be the better track, but it’s still a huge song, especially during the summer.

Now, in just a few short days, GloRilla will be looking to end things on an even stronger note with Glorious. This is her upcoming debut album, and it’s slated to hit DSPs on October 11. With us being this close, Big Glo is giving us some exciting things to chew over in the meantime. According to Billboard, she has just revealed the features and the tracklist, which is set at 15.

Speaking of the guests, there are tons of stars on deck, so let’s rattle them off. Megan Thee Stallion, who has become Glo’s new bestie, is coming back for seconds. They had tons of success with “Wanna Be,” so why not run back round two? Others will include Sexyy Red, Latto, Kirk Franklin, BossMan Dlow, new R&B powerhouse Muni Long, T-Pain, Chandler Moore, Fridayy, and more.

What are your thoughts on the feature list for GloRilla’s debut album Glorious? Which collaboration are you the most excited for? Who will have the best performance and why? Do you think this will be Glo’s best project to date? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments.

Igmar Thomas’ Revive Big Band Puts Their Own Spin On A Bebop Classic With “THELONIUS” Featuring Talib Kweli

October 5, 2024 by newhiphopnews

For some, this may be an anticipated release, but for us, this has snuck up on us in a good way. The future record we are talking about is the debut record from Igmar Thomas’ Revive Big Band. But before we get into that, who are they, and who are they led by? According to the group’s website, Mr. Thomas is a maestro, trumpeter, and composer, and he put this collection of talent together in 2010. Their first ever show was that same year at the George Wein’s CareFusion Jazz Festival. Since then, they have gone on to perform at some of most recognized venues across the U.S. that are synonymous with the genre. There efforts have been celebrated and awarded a whole bunch too, as they have a total of 27 GRAMMY nominations, with the 13 of them being wins.

However, they have never decided to release an album until now. According to a press release, their first LP, Like A Tree It Grows, will land on DSPs on October 25. This weekend, Igmar Thomas has recruited longtime lyricist Talib Kweli for the tape’s second single called “THELONIUS”. What makes the Revive Big Band unique is that they put their own twist on jazz, hip-hop, and soul classics in addition to their own compositions. In this case, this is a modern reimagining of Thelonious Monk’s most celebrated bebop (subset of jazz) pieces, “Thelonious”. It’s also a tweak of Common and Slum Village’s collab “Thelonius”, which is on the former’s Like Water For Chocolate. It’s a triumphant and uplifting track thanks to Igmar’s incredible band and we think this is one of the best releases of the month so far.

Eem Triplin Is Done With The “CRAZY H*ES” On New Single

September 21, 2024 by newhiphopnews

There aren’t many like Eem Triplin in terms of vocal delivery. His signature rasp that blurs the lines between rapping and singing has been helping elevate in the industry. For example, the Pennsylvania native has been on Camila Cabello’s radar so much that she worked with on him on track. You can find their collaboration on the C,XOXO – Magic City Edition. For those wanting to give it a listen, it’s called “baby pink”. On top of getting nods from bigger artists, he’s also got his fair share of hits. “AWKWARD FREESTYLE”, “JUST FRIENDS ?”, and “LOUIE V” are just a few of them.

“FIJI”, which features the R&B collective Cruza, is also on the rise, with over two million streams in just over a month. Eem Triplin can replicate similar, if not better, results with “CRAZY H*ES”. There’s something so addicting about his plugg style, so it’s great to hear that some of that secret sauce is brought to this new single too. Here, Eem Triplin expresses how tired he is of dealing with argumentative and over obsessive women. He does so with a sticky melody that’s perfectly placed over a very light and airy instrumental. While they do share a tonal approach, these two singles are also similar because they will both be on Eem’s upcoming debut album, Melody of a Memory. That’s all we know for now, so while you wait for the tape, stream “CRAZY H*ES” with the music video link below.

“CRAZY H*ES” – Eem Triplin

Quotable Lyrics:

Hold up, here we go again
Arguments in public, they lookin’ like, “F*** is wrong with them?”
I tell you to chill, you don’t chill, keep on goin’ then
Block me on your Twitter, your Insta’, finsta
Your Gmail and Facebook Messenger, I don’t even go on that (The f***?)
Sayin’ you gon’ get your brother, b****, then bring him then (It’s up)

GloRilla Announces Debut Album And It’s Coming Very Soon

September 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

GloRilla has being seeing a lot of success in 2024, but she’s about to see even more when she releases her debut album. According to HipHopDX, the Memphis rapper revealed this bombshell while on the red carpet of the MTV VMAs this past Wednesday. She spoke with Extra TV and spilled the beans pretty much immediately. “I’m dropping an album next month, in October”, she began. In fact, she’s so excited and confident about this next project that she’s already declaring it’s going to be a chart topper. “I’m so excited about that. We gon’ go number one!”.

Furthermore, Big Glo gave the interviewer a small hint about the direction in terms of the title. “It start with a G”, she said. For now, that’s about all we know about the “Yeah Glo!” hitmaker’s debut. However, there’s always some things we can speculate on. For starters, we can probably assume that “TGIF”, her most recent release, will go on to serve as the lead single.

GloRilla Says Her Debut Will Be Out In October

Furthermore, we can probably bet that she will drop at least one or two more tracks ahead of its release. One of them could be the song she previewed on her social media that led to some heavy backlash based on its original use of the R-word. If you remember, she did wind up changing the lyrics and a potential title for it is “Hol’ On”. For now though, we are excited that the debut is on the way soon and we cannot wait to see what’s in store.

What are your thoughts on GloRilla announcing her debut album? Do you think this will be her strongest project yet? Is Ehhthang Ehhthang still in your rotation? Out of all of the female rappers, is she having the best year of them all? 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. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

JT Unveils The Cover & Release Date For Her Solo Debut “City Cinderella”

July 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

JT has taken some serious steps away from her time with Yung Miami and the City Girls over the last year or so. Now, the Miami, Florida native is taking a massive leap after making a huge announcement just moments ago. With the unapologetic femcee dropping singles under just her name it was only a matter of time before she decided to see what she could do solo. So far, her decision has been paying off and quite tremendously we might add. Because of this, JT is comfortable (sort of) revealing key details about her upcoming debut EP called City Cinderella.

She shared the bombshell on her social media while captioning the post, “City Cinderella coming….7/19 Pre-save link in bio. My hands shaking posting this. Juvies we here…..”. Multiple fellow female artists were quick to show her support and love for this career move. Kali Uchis is excited for what is in store, saying, “She’s coming !!!!!”. R&B act Snoh Aalegra was also hyping JT up, “ sheeeesh ”.

According to Genius, it appears that “OKAY”, its two versions, including the Jeezy remix, “No Bars”, and “Sideways” will all land on the possible 10-song tracklist. As for the release date of City Cinderella, JT is dropping her EP on July 19 and it will compete with some pretty heavy hitters like Childish Gambino and Denzel Curry. The cover art is also now available to us, as it shows the “Alter Ego” artist looking stunning, with the lower half of her body being made of glass and some it shattered off. She also is donning a tiara, which is fitting for the title of the project. Congratulations to JT on the announcement and we cannot wait to check it out.

What are your thoughts on JT announcing her debut EP City Cinderella? Do you think she should have gone solo even sooner than this, why or why not? Do you think she will become more successful after branching out to work on her own material? What single have you been bumping the most so far? 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 JT.
