NLE Choppa Continues To Expand His Range On Carey Washington Collab “Don’t Walk Away”

December 20, 2024 by newhiphopnews

There was some speculation prior to today that NLE Choppa was going to drop a new project. Sluffin SZN was going to be the follow-up to SLUT SZN, an eight-song collection featuring some singles and his “SLUT ME OUT” series. However, due to unforeseen and unforetold circumstances, it’s going to be out on Christmas Eve instead. “NEW PROJECT DECEMBER 24th,” he wrote on Instagram earlier this week alongside a collage of photos from a music video shoot. The Memphis native also made a bold proclamation, writing, “This Generation Michael… Watch This ”

In some of the photos, he’s trying to his best interpretation of Michael Jackson’s famous lean dance stunt, all while wearing a familiar-looking leather jacket. Whether he’s calling himself that because of his new single, “Don’t Walk Away,” or for Sluffin SZN, is unclear. But what is evident is that he’s trying to become as big as the King of Pop by expanding his range and reach as an artist. This Carey Washington collab finds NLE getting into his moodier R&B side while also flashing some influences from sexy drill and Jersey club. So far, the track is garnering some mixed reactions from fans due to the drastic stylistic switch-up. However, we can appreciate Choppa’s willingness to grow, and we are intrigued to hear what he’s going to present on his fifth tape of 2024.

“Don’t Walk Away” – NLE Choppa & Carey Washington

Quotable Lyrics:

Reminiscing to the night, I wonder where the day go
Left me with a open wound like I got hit with Draco
I’m so rich, I tried to put your feelings on a payroll
Shanaynay for rainy days, rain can’t even stay
Me and you, share the floor
Take my hand for onе more dance

Kalan.FrFr Is Seeing Right Through His Competitions’ Facades On “Dice Game”

December 16, 2024 by newhiphopnews

California rapper and crooner Kalan.FrFr is issuing a fair warning to those who think they big and bad. The PSA appears on his latest release, “Dice Game,” his first solo single since April’s “EVERYBODY.” If you remember that track made its way onto May EP, MAKE THE WEST GREAT AGAIN, which landed almost week after Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us.” We mention that fact because the West Coast was at the peak of its powers when that dropped, and Kalan dropped at the perfect time. Unfortunately, due it being just an EP, it didn’t have as much staying power as it could’ve had. There are some rumblings that he’s prepping a new album behind the scenes. So, we will just have to wait and see when that hits.

Maybe then he will get more people talking and we know he can do that. He’s very capable of dropping some heat and “Dice Game” is an example of that. The track has a dark and intimidating energy, which is fitting given its themes and lyrics. On it, Kalan.FrFr feels that too many people out there are faking how up they really are. “N****s too tough around the b****es, that’s weird s*** / N****s thinkin’ that they low-key plotting, but we hear s***,” he raps with vigor on his second verse. The beat is also a major highlight for us as it possesses that traditional West Coast bounce and trunk-knocking bass. This is Kalan in his more aggressive bag, which is one that we like hearing him approach. He can go off when he wants to, and “Dice Game” should be something that he runs with going forward.

Roc Marciano & The Alchemist Share The First Look At Their Forthcoming Collab Tape With “Chopstick”

December 9, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Roc Marciano started off 2024 with a bang, and now, he’s looking to leave with one to cap it off. According to Genius, the Long Island, New York native will be dropping another project this coming Friday, December 13. The Skeleton Key is the name, and it will boast a tight, 10-song tracklist. The underground legend shared the tracklist on his Instagram just moments ago, which you can view below. However, this isn’t a solo Roc project. Instead, it’s going to be another collab tape with The Alchemist. That means this will be a follow-up to their inaugural and successful joint effort, The Elephant Man’s Bones.

That hit in 2022 and multiple tracks from it remain some of Roc’s most popular releases to date. With that in mind, why not run it back? Well, we hopefully won’t have to wait long, but in case we do, they have shared the first single. It’s called “Chopstick,” and if this is how the tape is going to roughly sound, we are all ears. In typical Roc and Uncle Al fashion, the production falls into the boom bap category and it’s very grimy and menacing. There are several slick lines about fishing hooks, bookies, and Tems. If you want to hear them, check out the new music video which is also just landed not too long ago. There’s going to be no features, and all of the beats will be exclusively handled by Alchemist. To us, it sounds like we are in for a real treat in four days.

Wiz Khalifa Drops A Weed Smoker’s Dream Track “Hit It Once”

December 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

One of the kings of vibe in the hip-hop genre is back this weekend. Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania rapper Wiz Khalifa is here with “Hit It Once,” a new single from his upcoming Kush + Orange Juice 2 project. Of course, this will be the official sequel to his wildly popular 2010 mixtape of the same name. As you all are aware by know, outside of Snoop Dogg, there really isn’t anyone who is more of weed connoisseur than Wiz. It’s been his brand since coming out back in during the last decade and it’s propelled him to an incredible amount of success.

So, if it ain’t broke don’t fix it! That’s the formula for “Hit It Once,” although there is a fun adjustment to it this time through. Here, Wiz Khalifa embraces the reggae sounds to create a truly immersive and intoxicating listening experience. He does have two pretty substantial verses on the track. However, they still get lost in the very woozy, pleasant, and calm instrumental and we mean that in the best way. This truly is one of the most vibe-heavy singles all year long. So far, this is the fourth promotional release from Kush + Orange Juice 2. From what we know, it should be a stacked project, with Don Toliver and Smoke DZA already in the fold, including tons of big-ticket producers like Lex Luger, Ty Dolla $ign, Cardo, and more.

“Hit It Once” – Wiz Khalifa

Quotable Lyrics:

Open shirt showing my precious metals
Sometimes I roll a joint so long, it look like two together
They’ll probably say it’s cool to smoke, I’m taking full advantage
I’m filling joints like you do at campus
I’m taking off, hit you when I’m landing
She got the weed rolled, it’s in the candles (Ooh)

The Kid Laroi & Quavo Want To “Slow It Down” On Their Collab

November 15, 2024 by newhiphopnews

After taking a long hiatus following the release of F*CK LOVE 3+: OVER YOU in 2021, The Kid LAROI came back firing on all cylinders in 2023 with his official debut album. THE FIRST TIME features hits like “NIGHTS LIKE THIS” with some of the deluxe cuts now causing some buzz. “BABY I’M BACK” and “GIRLS” are the ones ringing off at the moment. However, now the youngster from Australia is back in this creative groove, he doesn’t want to slow things down. The Kid LAROI is here this weekend with “SLOW IT DOWN,” a sexier pop rap/pop crossover with former Migo, Quavo. It’s their first collaboration and given their ability to adjust to so many genres, the team-up almost makes too much sense.

The single follows up on “APEROL SPRITZ,” an indirect love letter to pop star and girlfriend, Tate McRae. Given the lack of time in between releases, it seems like LAROI is back in album mode. Genius apparently has the inside scoop, with WATCH THIS! being the supposed title. The “STAY” rapper and singer hasn’t formally announced anything on his socials, but we think this is a real possibility. He’s on a hot streak, so why ruin that? “SLOW IT DOWN” definitely has the potential to be another hit for LAROI with its sticky melody and chorus. Check it out with the link below and see if you agree with our assessment.

“Slow It Down” – The Kid Laroi & Quavo

Quotable Lyrics:

I met you on Monday
F***ed you on Tuesday
Wednesday, tellin’ all your friends I’m your new bae
Thursday, same thing we did on Tuesday
Friday, let me hit that motherf***er my way
Saturday, fly you out one way

Lil Yachty’s Concrete Boys Teammates Draft Day & Dc2trill Link For Ultra Wavy Single “Calling 4 Backup”

November 9, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Lil Yachty has taken so many big steps and leaps over the last year and change. Overall, it’s hard to argue against the fact that they all paid dividends. He went from dropping inconsistent projects to putting out two of his boldest and most colorful statements to date. Let’s Start Here. and his James Blake collab joint Bad Cameo saw him explore new genres and sounds. On top of that, his rapping has greatly improved with efforts like “The Secret Recipe.” However, he’s also become a record label founder in this time, launching Concrete Rekordz and his accompanying posse, Concrete Boys. There was a bump in the road along the way, as KARRAHBOOO departed in ugly fashion. However, Lil Boat still has multiple talents onboard.

Two of them are Draft Day and Dc2trill, and they are continuing to build out their own careers more with “CALLING 4 BACKUP.” This is the former’s release and there’s speculation that he’s dropping a solo tape soon. The last time we got one from the Florida native was in 2019 with the aptly named First Round Pick. However, Genius is also saying that the potential Rookie Season is a collab tape with Dc2trill. Regardless of whether or not we get it, “CALLING 4 BACKUP” is a fun, laid-back, and braggy cut. The druggy slow-mo vocal effects amplify that vibe tenfold, along with the dreamy boom-bap beat.

“Calling 4 Backup” – Draft Day & Dc2trill

Quotable Lyrics:

Swing the door, I see real watchers
He ran out of K, n****, we still poppin’ (Still)
Everywhere we pop out, we show stoppin’
Go one up too fast, n****, die where you stand
I lean too much, I could never take stance
I own my stripes, like the shoes cost stance

Sheff G & Sleepy Hallow Release Separate Album Singles Together With “Today” & “Mmm”

November 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Sheff G and Sleepy Hallow are like two peas in a pod. Both have been prominent voices in the New York drill scene for a few years apiece and they each have tons of hits under their belts. Naturally, their stars align quite often, and their work relationship seems to be stronger than most out there. Given all of this, it’s no surprise that they are releasing together once again. However, it’s not how you may expect. According to a press release, “Today” belongs to Sheff G and will land on a new album. Then, “Mmm” is a Sleepy Hallow only track and is going to be on his future project, READ THIS WHEN YOU WAKE UP.

But the twists and turns don’t end there. Making this slightly more confusing is that they are both out together under a two-pack. It’s called Don’t Sleep While It’s Lit – Part 1, so there might be another EP coming at some point. However, let’s focus on the known facts. Via another press release, Sheff will be dropping his full-length body of work on November 22. It will be called Proud of Myself and will feature Sleepy Hallow, Lil Tecca, and more. As for Hallow, his will arrive on December 6. It’s a lot to take in but maybe listening to “Today” and “Mmm” may clear your mind, so check them out now.

“Today” & “Mmm” – Sheff G & Sleepy Hallow

Quotable Lyrics From “Today”:

I was just in jail, sendin’ mail out
I was in the yard with them real killers
Show you how to eat and keep a closed mouth, look (Look)
Shed a few scars on the way out
I done did it all, now I got nothin’ to prove
She like, “Sheff, you got too much to lose”, look (Look)

Midwxst Reminds The Non-believers He’s Not Going Anywhere On “No Handouts”

November 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Throughout his career, midwxst has taken some risks. For some, they have paid off. For others, they might’ve not. Regardless of the outcomes for the listeners out there, the South Carolina product isn’t going to stop trying and taking his sound to uncharted territories. On his new single “no handouts,” midwxst seemingly addresses the doubters and haters by reminding them he’s going to be around for a long time. “But there ain’t no one that can count me out / Don’t get tired of my name, ’cause you gon’ see me ’round,” he exclaims over a wild hyperpop instrumental.

In addition to remaining resilient, midwxst is also looking out for the future boundary-pushers. “In the center of the photo, so I can’t be cropped / Don’t regard the s*** they say, because they all just talk (One, two, one, two, three, let’s go).” This soundscape is something that the creative has been rocking with for a little bit now. E3 is the project that sees his dive into it the most. It’s a project that has kept our interest in his journey and remains one that we revisit. Speaking of his musical excursion, midwxst looks to be in the process of curating a new project thanks in part to “no handouts.” Overall, nothing is set yet, but he’s been using the #archangel on a lot of his social media posts lately. We will see what happens with that. But for now, check out the track and music video below.

“No Handouts” – Midwxst

Quotable Lyrics:

No matter what you do
Hope you know that everybody won’t look up to you
Hear some critics and some comments, and they’ll say, “F*** you”
They just do it out of spite, don’t let it get to you
‘Cause you’re everything they’re not
If you believe in yourself, then you can’t be stopped

Sukihana Does Her Best Michael Jackson Impression On “WTFO”

October 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

One thing to know about Sukihana is that she’s going to do whatever the f*** she wants, and you just have to accept it. If she says she’s not a musician (which she is), then she isn’t. Does anyone remember that quote from her interview from her interview with Bobbi Althoff? We’re going on a tangent, she’s got some new music out, so let’s talk about it. Sukihana’s latest offering is called “WTFO” (Walk The F*** Out) and it’s about what you expect from her.

It’s braggadocious, blunt, and ratchet, and her authentic self. It’s why her fans respect her and come back for more each and every time. However, there is a bit of a curveball thrown on this record. On her second verse, she randomly busts out Michael Jackson’s iconic “hee-eeh” adlib. Suki then utilizes that to emphasize words such as “free” and “me.” It’s quite hysterical and the fans have been talking about it nonstop since its release. Goofiness aside, this seems to be the second track that’s possibly promoting a new project. Nothing has been formally declared yet, but she dropped “WTFO” and coupled it with the previously released “Suki Suki.” If this turns out to be true, it will be her first full-length effort of her career, which started in 2017.

“WTFO” – Sukihana

Quotable Lyrics:

B****, look at this a** when I walk, ho, huh
This a** is a real dome, they think it’s a car show
B****, I feel like Michael Jackson, huh, hee-eeh
B****, you got that top p***y, ho, you can’t f*** with me-eeh
I don’t want no roof Chris n**** kids
With a p***y this good, I can’t f*** for free

Saba Thematically & Lyrically Impresses On Another No I.D. Collaboration “How To Impress God”

October 26, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Saba has shown us throughout his career that he can write and stick to a theme/message with ease. Both of his last two projects, Few Good Things and CARE FOR ME, have numerous displays of this between them. The one gripe we have with the Chicago visionary is that we don’t get to hear from him more. You can call us greedy, but we think anyone would want to hear more Saba when he’s churning out records like “How to Impress God.” This is the latest release alongside prolific producer No I.D. and one the tracks that will be on their collaborative album.

The project is still in limbo, sadly, as it’s drop date is unknown. There is still about two and half months to go before 2025 arrives, so we are holding out hope it comes then. Saba and No I.D. have now shared four previews From the Private Collection of Saba & No I.D. and this one may be the best yet. On “How to Impress God,” the veteran rapper raps from the perspective of God and how he’s moved by any of his flashy things. On the second verse is where things come together, as Saba (God) says that he intentionally was dealt some problems from other people. The way he handled all of the obstacles, no matter how big, he did so with grace and love. It’s a great message for those who feel they need other people’s approval, but it’s also just a excellent motivational record from Saba and No I.D. all around.

“How To Impress God” – Saba & No ID

Quotable Lyrics:

I sent obstacles on your way, to make sure this what you mean
Some of them was bigger than beast, you fear them the least
I even sent someone to pretend they didn’t believe
I sent people to complicate all the simplest things
The fact that you showed up here is not a surprise
But Saba, you showed love, and that’s all I required
