SZA Pours Out Her Emotions & Thoughts On Vibey “Drive” Ahead Of “Lana”

by

“FULL DELUXE DROPS FIRST THING TOMORROW AM🫡,” SZA wrote on Instagram earlier this morning. “(Had to get my mixes right lol! All songs are delivered and Ingesting into the system as we speak🙂‍↕ pls be kind.. we been up for days).” It’s a bit of disheartening message to hear, but hopefully, it arrives within the next couple of hours. For now, though, the Missouri singer-songwriter is giving listeners a nice preview of what LANA will provide. “Drive” is officially out now on YouTube and it’s the track we got a taste of a couple of days ago. SZA posted a teaser for the track and music video starring her friend Ben Stiller on social media and fans were in love.

We are now hopping on the bandwagon as well because the track is beautiful, sad, and incredibly well written. Its chorus is incredibly catchy and one that will assuredly be belted out in the car by fans on their late-night drives. But it’s much more than a radio-friendly record. “Drive” finds SZA a bit lost as mentions the difficulties she’s having when it comes to being alone despite being a megastar. Moreover, she’s also trying to keep the course and find fulfillment and happiness, which is something that almost everyone can relate to. It’s a nice acoustic ballad and one that will quickly become a fan favorite. You can check it out below and you’ll be pleasantly surprised to hear a snippet of “Crybaby” which will be on LANA as well.

“Drive” – SZA

Quotable Lyrics:

And it don’t hit the same when you’re all alone
And the money’s insane, I know
But it don’t fill the void at all
And I promised my mom I’d do better
But they keep trying me so hard
With all the bulls*** and f*** it all

Consequence & Chuck D Drop Off Thought-Provoking “What Has America Done”

by

Consequence and Chuck D are speaking out following the reelection of President Donald Trump with a conscious single, “What Has America Done.” According to The Source, both hip-hop greats gave a State of the Union address not too long ago, so they are making sure they are making their voices heard. The Queens native spoke about how the Black community needs to stick together and level up as much as possible. While instilling inspiration, he also kept it real that could lead to issues with one another. “The results of the 2024 Presidential Election are a reflection of who and where we are as a nation. Like it or not, especially if you’re African American, we must continue to pursue our equalities and make sure we do everything in our power to level the playing field as best we can. In doing so, we can forget where we’ve been and what it took to get where we are.”

Public Enemy’s Chuck D didn’t mince words either, adding, “Avatars like they’re the new Klan hoodies. The more things change, the more they stay the same!” “What Has America Done” isn’t an easy listen by any means. However, it sure sounds beautiful with its dramatic and thematic piano-led instrumental. Consequence dominates the verses, talking about how Black people constantly get the short end of the stick while other groups truly get to live the American dream. This single will land on Consequence’s deluxe of his most recent LP Nice Doing Business With You, which is out on November 22.

“What Has America Done” – Consequence, Chuck D, & Tony Williams

Quotable Lyrics:

My country, tis of thee, sweet land of Liberty
Same land where they lynchin’ me, for over more then four centuries
The plantations wherе they sent for me, plan for mе was penitentiaries
Psychological injuries, but still we rise to be kings and queens
But what has America done for me, besides take the swag and the sauce?
What has America done for me, besides make me kiss the a** of my boss?

Erick The Architect Previews Deluxe Of Debut Solo Album Again With “Ca$hmere Tear$”

by

“CA$HMERE TEAR$” is a song dear to me,” Erick the Architect said in a statement (via Shore Fire Media). “It talks about New York City at a very specific time period during the late 90s and early 2000s. Way before my city was heavily gentrified, New York had a cadence and rhythm that really personified the city as one of the most influential places in the world. Growing up, I learned to rap because of my surroundings, which then led me to becoming a musician. New York City is entirely responsible for all of the success I’ve received over these years, and I couldn’t be more grateful.” This is the Flatbush Zombies rapper’s feelings and explanation about his new single, and the second preview of an upcoming extended version of his solo debut album.

In February, Erick the Architect would go on to drop one of the now most under-appreciated records of 2024 in I’ve Never Been Here Before. It’s a tremendous mixture of sounds, textures, and performances from the versatile talent and it gave any doubters proof of what he could do away from his Flatbush brethren. There are lots of tracks that we keep in our rotations, including “Ezekiel’s Wheel,” “2-3 Zone,” and “Shook Up.” Erick has clearly seen the positive reception because he’s going to be adding to on November 15. I’ve Never Been Here Before: The Director’s Cut will have five new cuts with his love letter to New York in “CA$HMERE TEAR$,” as well as the equally excellent “Beverly Drive” included in that mix. Erick’s making sure to have hip-hop fans remembering his work in 2024 but we sure won’t forget any of it. It’s been a banner year.

Eminem Announces An Expanded Edition Of “The Death Of Slim Shady” With Comedic Trailer

by

Eminem is not done feeding his Stans in 2024. In a new Instagram post just moments ago, the Detroit legend has just announced an expanded edition of The Death of Slim Shady. Like with the rest of the album’s roll out, the “Houdini” MC is revealing this news via a trailer. It kicks off with the 51-year-old walking calmly and confidently into a lonely beer and wine convenient store. While strolling past the cashier, played by The Alchemist, he heads directly to the refrigerated section in the back. He takes out a half gallon of whole milk, slices it open, and leaves it to leak all over the floor.

The camera zooms in on the carton to reveal a missing poster with Slim Shady being the man on the run. In it, he’s wearing the exact same Jason Voorhees-inspired hockey mask he donned in the music video for “Tobey”. Eminem then exits the store and while leaving, Uncle Al jumps over the counter to yell at him. “Get the f*** out of here! Don’t come back!”. Then, the camera locks onto a surveillance monitor and you can hear the producer hilariously mumble, “They don’t pay me enough for this s***”.

Victoria Monet & USHER Are Ready For Action On “SOS (Sex On Sight)”

by

Victoria Monet and USHER are really laying it down in a hot and heavy manner on their new single, “SOS (Sex on Sight)”. This track belongs to the former of the two artists and it’s one she’s been teasing for a little over a week. On the 20th, the Atlanta Georgia native would go on to announce the release date and title of the track on her Instagram in a brief video in which she also teased the beginning of the audio, too. Then, on August 22, Monet was creating quite a lot of buzz within her fan base, hinting that a feature would be on “SOS”.

““SOS” = SEX ON SIGHT!!! 😌 Who do you think the feature is? 👀 tag them”. Finally, a day later, USHER would go to be revealed as the guest artist, which marks their first collaboration together now. This song sees one of the current R&B stars work alongside a true legend of the genre in a cool mixture of eras. “SOS” shows that in the production department, especially, thanks to the slow-mo/sensual vibe. It feels like something from the early 2000s, but it has more modern touches, too. That can be attributed to the groovy and funky bass lines, shimmering synth passages, and celebratory horn sections. Monet has been in this sonic fixation on her past two projects, but it’s been working, and it is here on “SOS (Sex on Sight)”.

Quotable Lyrics:

I need that SOS, sex on sight, baby, it’s urgent
Let me f*** up all your plans, come put this work in
‘Cause I think it’s about time we take this all the way
(And I) Wonder which one of my lips gon’ be your first kiss
Doesn’t matter ’cause they both gon’ fit you perfect
And I’m ready, so don’t make me have to do this on my own

Nicki Minaj Unveils The Release Date & Artwork For Upcoming “Gag City Reloaded” Deluxe

by

About seven days ago, Nicki Minaj decided to drop a bombshell on X. “PF2 #GagCityReloaded – the album”. That simple announcement was enough to rile up the entire legion of Barbz, as this sort of came out of nowhere. Apparently, her revealing the Gag City Reloaded tour was step one of the plans because now we are getting new music to accompany this new leg of her massive Pink Friday 2 trek. Then, phase three would occur in the evening of the aforementioned tweet. Nicki Minaj hopped on a 45-minute Instagram Live to talk about this new deluxe edition, and tease some collaborations in the process.

However, at the time, she was not able to give any sort of concrete details about this third bonus version. “I will be doing a deluxe version of Pink Friday 2. It will be called Pink Friday 2 Gag City Reloaded. It’s going to be out soon. Do I have the exact dates for you? No. Is it coming out this week? No. But it’s coming”. Then, yesterday, part four of the rollout would see Nicki Minaj hype up a track that she claims will be the Barbz “favorite song on the deluxe”.

A post shared by Barbie (@nickiminaj)

There’s a chance it could be a finished version of “Anxiety”, a song teased in the IG Live. Now, we are in the middle of step five, which includes perhaps the most important information yet. Nicki Minaj has just recently revealed the release date and the Gag City Reloaded artwork on IG. She captions the massive Kenneth Petty photo dump with, “9.13.24 #GagCityRELOADED THE DELUXE ALBUM 💿”. On the 15th slide, you can see the cover, which features the biggest anklet you will ever see which spells out the name of this extra version.

What are your thoughts on Nicki Minaj dropping the Gag City Reloaded deluxe version of Pink Friday 2 on September 13? Are there any tracks you want to see her include? How many do you think she will add to this edition? Is three extra ways to listen to PF2 too much, why or why not? 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 Nicki Minaj. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

Nicki Minaj Previews Drake & Juice WRLD Collabs Ahead Of Next “Pink Friday 2” Deluxe

by

Yesterday, August 20, Nicki Minaj sent out a tweet that had the Barbz truly elated. “PF2 #GagCityReloaded – the album”. Yes, if two expanded editions of Pink Friday 2 weren’t enough for you, a third alternate version is on its way. However, we are currently being left in the dark about when it will release. That remains true today as well, according to AllHipHop. Nicki Minaj hopped on Instagram Live for about 45 minutes late last night with over 4,700 fans tuning in, presumably to hear any sort of extra news.

If that’s true, then the Queens, New York MC certainly fulfilled their wishes. As we said, she wasn’t able to give a drop date, but here are the words straight from the source. “I will be doing a deluxe version of Pink Friday 2. It will be called Pink Friday 2 Gag City Reloaded. It’s going to be out soon. Do I have the exact dates for you? No. Is it coming out this week? No. But it’s coming”. However, that was about the only disappointing part of the whole Live because she would go on to preview several tracks that could be on this deluxe.

Some of them included Drake and Juice WRLD collaborations. However, it seems like the former won’t be on Gag City Reloaded as she was playing a version of Camila Cabello’s “HOT UPTOWN” with her on it that didn’t see the light of day. “I’m not on it but the song is out”. Later, Nicki would go on to play two, “Anxiety” and “Mamita”, with the latter having potentially multiple guests. Fans were enjoying the former and it turns out to be one of her favorites as well. “Isn’t that so beautiful”? Finally, for Juice WRLD, she’s really hoping she can get him on it. “It would be incredible for me I think to have Juice WRLD on this album. Because before he passed that’s what we were talking about. He recorded a bunch of stuff when he was in my studio, but I don’t like to exploit people, and people’s deaths and stuff like that”.

Full Instagram Live

“Blonde Hair” was one of the tracks that made its way onto her IG Live. Overall, there’s a lot of excitement around this upcoming deluxe and it seems that there’s a chance for a lot of extra material.

The Kid LAROI & Lil Yachty Are Acting Petty On “HATRED”

by

The Kid LAROI continues to tease the deluxe for THE FIRST TIME with a new single called “HATRED.” This is now the second promotional track that is expected to be a part of it when it drops sometime this year. The Australian native dropped his debut album back in November 2023 with some massive tracks on it. “TOO MUCH” with Central Cee and Jung Kook continues to the lead way with over 127 million streams.

“HATRED” follows a familiar theme for LAROI, as he raps about a past relationship. In this instance, the split has led to become driven to boss up. He also mentions how he was too good for her, even though the woman does not want to think so. “Okay, remind you, I’m the most hated / Talkin’ down on me online but in real life, you know I’m your favorite / If you were to write me a thank you letter, it’d be long as the motherf***in’ yellow pages.”

Doja Cat Announces “Scarlet 2: Claude Frollo” And Reveals A Mystery Feature In New Trailer

by

Doja Cat still has a lot of haters out there, but that is not going to stop her one bit from making a massive return. A few days ago, the California rapper and singer revealed cover art for an upcoming single “Masc.” It went viral on social media, with fans declaring it was the artist’s “pubic hair” or “sheep’s wool”. However, she decided to clear the air, albeit frustratingly. “Let’s move forward. Let’s grow. “Cause I can’t tell you what to do, I’m not your f***ing parents. Like pubic hair? Really? That’s where we stand.” Dust settling aside, this Doja Cat track was announced to promote Scarlet 2: Claude Frollo, the deluxe of her last record.

According to HipHopDX, fans were treated to this pleasant news by way of a trailer and sneak peek of “Masc.” The teaser features Doja Cat in silhouette, complemented with smooth videography, and a white backdrop with a shadow of the spider from the Scarlet cover. However, for a brief moment, there is another figure shown to us. The person appears for just long enough for us to decipher that it is almost certainly Teezo Touchdown.

Fans in the comments spotted the massive shoulder pads and bowl haircut as well, with one person saying, “IS THAT TEEZO?!!!!” Genius also seems to believe that to be the case, as he is credited as a feature on “Masc.” There is a possibility of 11 bonus cuts, according to them, but we will not know for sure until it drops. Speaking of which, Scarlet 2: Claude Frollo will hit streaming services on Friday, April 5. Doja first teased the idea of a deluxe back in January.

What are your thoughts on Doja Cat announcing Scarlet 2: Claude Frollo? Is this going to improve Scarlet, or make it worse and why? Do you think the silhouette in the trailer for “Masc” is Teezo Touchdown? If it is, will this collaboration be a success, why or why not? Is the album still in your rotation? If so, which tracks?

The Kid LAROI Wants To Be Around For As Long As He Can On Somber Cut “HEAVEN”

by

The Kid LAROI finally made his comeback with his debut album THE FIRST TIME back in November of 2023. In typical fashion, the rapper and singer put a lot of different soundscapes on his record. From trap rap to singer/songwriter, LAROI brought out everything he had creatively onto one album. The Aussie spoke a lot about the things that have been weighing on him, especially during the project’s rollout.

Fast forward to late January 2024 and we already have new music from the multi-talent. The 20-year-old phenom is back with a new single called “HEAVEN.” According to Genius and Uproxx, this is going to be a part of a new record, or a deluxe version of the debut. There is no word on when any of that will be out, but those are the rumors going around right now.

“HEAVEN” is a brutally honest, self-assessing track about looking inward and fixing the problems in your life. LAROI talks about his nights of drug and alcohol abuse and how he wants to do what he can to live a long and fulfilling life. He sings with pain over a somber and cold beat. It might be the most gut-wrenching and powerful performance he has ever put out in his career. It really is a fantastic effort and one we encourage you to check out. Additionally, you can read the thoughtful message he put on his Instagram, explaining the meaning of the song.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single, “HEAVEN,” by The Kid LAROI? Should this song have made it onto the final version of THE FIRST TIME? How many songs should he add to the deluxe?
