Monaleo & Kaliii Put Toxic Men On Blast With “Flush Em”

September 21, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Throwing Bows might be the most spot-on title for a Monaleo project. Her rap style and bars exhibit similar actions that you would see in a boxing ring. Ironically, the cover for the aforementioned tape displays exactly that as she’s knocked out a man cold. Even crazier, is that Monaleo and Kaliii sound like they want to throw down with some toxic men for their girlfriends on their new single “Flush Em”.

This track comes just a week ahead of Throwing Bows, which will be her second LP of her still bubbling career. Where The Flowers Don’t Die, an 11-track, 28-minute-long effort was the last full-length-like effort we got and that came in May of 2023. “Flush Em”, which features production from Bankroll Got It, is the third offering, as it comes after “Passenger Princess” and “Don Who Leo”. While the flows are a bit clunky and do sound like Latto at times, what you can’t deny is the energy and mic presence from Monaleo. Give the track a try and tell us what you think in the comments below.

“Flush Em” – Monaleo & Kaliii

Quotable Lyrics:

No way you was suckin’ that d**k every night and puttin’ your hair in a bun (Thot)
No way you was puttin’ out, puttin’ out, puttin’ out, ain’t break the n**** for nothin’, dummy
What have I taught you, huh? (What?) Nice h**s comin’ in last (Let’s go)
Huh, why was you curvin’ a simp? (Yeah, yeah) You tellin’ the n**** he comin’ in fast (Uh-huh)
You chasin’ after a n**** that won’t even get out and pump your gas (What?)
You could not follow your friend, but said he be givin’ that n**** a pass, I’m on your a**, let’s go

Jordan Ward & Joony Kick Off Roll Out Of Joint Project With “Jealousy”

September 20, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Jordan Ward has actually been in the business for about seven years now. But really over the last two or so is where’s seen some growth in his audience. The St. Louis, Missouri singer’s 2023 is perhaps his breakout year, as he went on to release his second project FORWARD. Since it being out, tracks like “FAMJAM4000”, “WHITE CROCS”, and “CHERIMOYA” have turned out to be fan favorites. Ward has managed to stick out thanks to his vocal style that borrows some elements of the 90s to early 2000s. It’s buttery smooth and boyish but in a good way. He also went to drop the extended version later that year and in 2024, he’s kept things fairly lowkey.

However, it’s looking like he’s making a fill return and very soon. But he won’t be alone because rapper and frequent collaborator Joony, will be joining him. On October 4, these two laid-back artists will be dropping a joint effort called JRNY. That’s about all we know for now, on top of its new lead single. Jordan Ward and Joony’s “Jealousy” is all about wanting a more serious relationship with a major crush but not getting the same vibes back. It definitely has a relatable message and the melodies on this track are extremely potent to the ear. The beat is also very simple, but it plays a nice mellow backdrop to their equally chill yet pained deliveries.

“Jealousy” – Jordan Ward & Joony

Quotable Lyrics:

Built this on a friendship, but now there’s more to manage
So I keep a home here, somеwhere you can manage
Widе-body girl, and she came from Atlanta
You got n****s, I got b****es
Different cities but I want you
And yeah it’s overdue

DaBaby Leaves Off Two-Pack Of “Did It” & “Can’t Keep Keisha” Amid New Project Announcement

September 20, 2024 by newhiphopnews

“Let’s gooo”, is what a lot of DaBaby fans have to be saying right now because he’s got a new tape on the way. Just several hours ago, the Cleveland born, Charlotte bred rapper made this big announcement on his Instagram account. “HOW TF IS THIS A MIXTAPE?” GOOD DOPE SELL ITSELF NEXT FRIDAY. 14 HITS.” A gift before the album Oh yea… “CAN’T KEEP KEISHA” out now bae. ”, DaBaby adds. “Threw another lil surprise out today too. LETS FLOOD. NEXT WEEK WE GO CRAZY ”.

What this essentially all means is that DaBaby is going to be dropping HOW TF IS THIS A MIXTAPE? next Friday, September 27. There’s going to be 14 new songs, with two of them out now. They include “Can’t Keep Keisha” and “Did It”. With this two-pack, you are getting some duality. On the former, you are getting some more introspective and personal bars about family and love. DaBaby also tries to sing some of the chorus, which comes across just as how you might expect. However, we can appreciate the delivery switch up. Then, on the latter, you’ll hear more traditional DaBaby which is that aggressive, Pit bull-like demeanor over a booming trap instrumental.

“Can’t Keep Keisha” / “Did It” – DaBaby

Quotable Lyrics From “Can’t Keep Keisha”:

I’ll give up everything I got just to get my brother back
If they with me and they standin’ on business, I’ll stand in front of that
That’s the type of man I am
I’ma keep on goin’ through hell and back to be a family man (N****)
You play with my family, you get whacked, I’ll shoot your cameraman (N****)
I’ve been around the world, I’m talkin’ from Hong Kong to Amsterdam (N****)

Rome Streetz & Daringer Preview Their Upcoming Collab Project With Hazy “Sage” Featuring ScHoolboy Q

September 20, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Rome Streetz is one the most stalwart undergrounders that we have going right now. You can always go to him for solid rhymes and bars, in addition to head-nodding East Coast hip-hop rhythms. Pretty soon, he will almost assuredly deliver one of those listening experiences again in just a few weeks. On October 4, him and veteran producer Daringer will be dropping their joint effort, Hatton Garden Holdup. Given that it’s named after a longstanding London jewelry store, we are expecting a luxurious tape. Part of that expectation comes from the lead single “Starbvxkz”.

The production has a glamorous feeling to it, thanks to its twinkling and soft piano melodies. It’s been making us float since we’ve heard it and “Sage” by Rome Streetz is having that similar effect. With his brags and hazy beat, you can easily lock in, close your eyes, and feel the vibes almost instantaneously. Here, we are also getting the first feature for the eventual release. ScHoolboy Q’s verse and drawn-out vocal delivery perfectly matches up with the mood. Overall, the track really does have a heady quality, and it may do it better than its predecessor. Fans can expect to have 13 songs, with features from Conway the Machine, Cormega, and Meyhem Lauren too. Give “Sage” a try with the YouTube link below.

“Sage” – Rome Streetz, Daringer, & ScHoolboy Q

Quotable Lyrics:

Never had to dream about gettin’ paid (Yeah)
The plan was to have a full plate (Yeah)
Was quarterbackin’, trappin’, runnin’ plays
Keep the eagles off me, baby, burnin’ sage (Yeah)
If they ask a question, tell me, “Yo no sé”
Fully committed with it, all the way (Yeah)

Kembe X Starts Another Roll Out With Release Of “DEATH & TAXXXES”

September 15, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kembe X is looking to go for a more laid-back and go-with-the-flow kind of energy for his next endeavor. On the California raised rapper’s X account he hinted at this very direction. “This project i’m rolling out is all fun music there’s little gems in there. But for the most part it is the sound of me LETTING GO & HAVING FUN”. Also he had another announcement to make. “DEATH & TAXXXES” TONIGHT”. This seems to be step two for this next project’s roll out, as the Illinois born artist already dropped the potential lead single back in late August. That would be “iNDIFFERENT” with the equally engaging Zelooperz. As of now, there doesn’t seem to be a release date or really anything else that’s known other than these two probable lead off tracks.

However, we can update on what Kembe X has been up to as of late. It’s been a little bit since we’ve covered new material as the last song we got to was “Rolling Stoned” with Isaiah Rashad and Hippie Sabotage. Since that November 2023 track, he went on to drop off “Shallow”, another collab with the latter, and feature for Yakiyn’s “TOP FLO” single. Furthermore, Kembe ended his five-year project drought with Sleep Paralysis back in mid-March. That was an entire combo deal with Hippie Sabotage which spanned 10 songs. Now, with that catching up out of the way, what is “DEATH & TAXXES” sounding like? It’s almost got a bit of Baby Keem to it with the way that Kembe is delivering his flows. They are a bit loopy and dizzying and the production switches up quite a bit for the track being just 1:50. See what he’s laying down with “DEATH & TAXXXES” down below.

Blu & Exile Promote Their Upcoming Collab Tape With “Gold” Featuring Nana & Ahmad Anwar

September 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Blu and Exile (Blu & Exile) are one of the most underrated hip-hop duos of all-time. When it comes to the underground scene in particular, we wouldn’t be mad if you had them ranked at number one. The Los Angeles, California kids just have that special recipe that no one else will truly be able to unearth or replicate. It’s rare when they miss a step and it’s why we are thrilled for their upcoming collaborative project, Love (the) Ominous World. According to a currently unreviewed annotation on Genius, they are expecting it to drop on September 20, so just a couple of weeks from now. We got our first taste of what appears to be a 12-song outing with “Love Is Blu”.

Frequent collaborator and singer/rapper Aloe Blacc appeared on it and as usual, the song bangs. It felt triumphant but it had some serious undertones to it thanks to the spirited and lyrically conscious performances. You normally don’t go to them for catchy tunes. But “Love Is Blu” also had that going for it too. The same rings true for “Gold”, the second single from Blu & Exile. The instrumental and melodies from Exile paired with the chorus give it tremendous replay value. Typically, when a song is sticky, it tends to not change up. However, Exile throws in some instrumental switch-ups to keep the listener engaged. Disc scratches, vocal samples, and ghostly and twinkly tones are things you’ll catch here and there. Overall, we think that him and Blu went two for two with “Gold”. However, we want to know what you think, so check it out below.

Ransom Potentially Previews An Upcoming Posse Tape With “Higher Killer” Featuring Conway The Machine & More

August 31, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Ransom, Conway the Machine, and producer V Don might be cooking up something serious behind closed doors. According to some fan speculation in the comments section on Ransom’s Instagram, this triple-headed monster is working on a posse project of sorts. “Conway need a tape w ran”. “Is this off the Ran & Con tape we’ve been waiting for ”. The “this” that the latter fan is inquiring about is a new Ransom single, “Higher Killer”. The track also includes a verse from the gravelly-voiced MC Lloyd Banks and overall, this record is a slapper front to back no doubt about it.

V Don concocted a dramatic and frenetic East Coast boom-bap special with this one. The lone highlight of the instrumental is hard to choose. You have incredibly dark string sections, as well resonant and rich bass, and a deadly hi-hat to drum ratio. Then, as for the rapping performances, Ransom, Lloyd, and Conway are all locked in right from the start of their respective verses. We can certainly say that about Conway, and he will assuredly shut up the skeptics that have been claiming his recent output hasn’t been consistent. Genius seems to have more info on the project in terms of the title, which is Chaos Is My Ladder Too. If this turns out to all be real, then “Higher Kiler” is a perfect start to the roll out.

“Higher Killer” – Ransom, Conway The Machine, V Don, & Lloyd Banks

Quotable Lyrics:

Shit, I ramble when I get aggravated
Agitated— screw up your databases, I’m that abrasive
Look, what if Goliath hopped on the back of David?
Affidavits, climb up that chaos, just hopе the ladder makes it
Listеn, there’s no amenities in a cell
You can never pray for a heaven when meant to be in a hell

Chance The Rapper Expresses His Love For Performing On “3333”

August 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It seems like Chance The Rapper fans are listening to his request about not calling Star Line an album. We say that because the Chicago, Illinois native has another single out this weekend for his upcoming fifth project. It’s been quite a long road back for Chancellor Johnathan Bennett, as his 2019 debut album The Big Day was sadly a big disaster. After great releases such as Coloring Book and Acid Rap, the bloated and cumbersome record left a sour taste in a lot of people’s mouths, but it’s clear that something like this isn;t going to happen again. Chance The Rapper has been taking his time releasing new tracks and he’s sounding extremely focused once more like on “3333” for example.

According to Uproxx, this song is sort of a loose recounting of a show that he put on at an undersold venue in Minnesota. “3333” was the number of tickets that were purchased at the state’s fair, even though it holds a maximum of up to 14,000. He had the chance to cancel the show, but that’s something that he could never bring himself to do. Chance told the crowd, “I want you to know that whole ticketing thing. I’d perform for one of y’all”. He doesn’t care about selling out arenas and stadiums, he just wants to be able to display his passion on stage for anyone that is willing to show even if its “for one”. His joyous nature on “3333” shows that Chance The Rapper has so much love for what he does, and we are loving the humility and good vibes he’s exuding.

“3333” – Chance The Rapper

Quotable Lyrics:

Rapping about high school at a 21+ show
But every other rapper is like 31+, so
I go out on that stage and I close my eyеs
‘Cause it’s only seventeen pеople, no surprise
It’s a showcase, some of friends ain’t show up
But every hand in that place gang get thrown up

C4Y Continues To Build Momentum With “SLOTH (I’S CLOSED)”

August 27, 2024 by newhiphopnews

C4Y is a fresh face for us at HNHH, but the Chicago, Illinois native has been around the block for a little bit now. He’s got singles dating all the way back to 2020 and project as old as three years. Also something to note about him, is that he is always ready to drop at multiple points throughout the year. In 2021, C4Y gave fans a short, four-track EP called HAUS TAPES, Vol. 1, and OMFG. 2022 consists of B4, C4, and MONEY CARS DRANK, which has a deluxe as well. Then, in 2023 he put out Made Me Laugh and Pain Fosters Art. 2024 has yet to see an LP or EP, but C4Y might nearing one of those with the release of “SLOTH (I’S CLOSED)”.

This is the sixth single from the soon-to-be 24-year-old underground rapper and its coming on the heels of “GREED (PROMISE IM PAID)”. In fact, that track is logged as our first piece for C4Y, so we are happy to be continuing to cover his growth as an artist. Speaking of which, how would we describe his style? Well, we did cite that we hear bits and pieces of Playboi Carti and Lil Baby, previously. We would say that remains true, at least for the former on “SLOTH (I’S CLOSED)”. C4Y isn’t rocking the deep voice that Carti’s been sporting lately, but he sounds more like the latter’s earlier work. He melodically raps in a high register with help of auto-tune, but it doesn’t sound overly processed. We could see this being a new hit for C4Y thanks to the melodies he creates both with his flows and the twinkling piano leads laced into the glitzy instrumental. Hear it for yourself with the link below.

Chance The Rapper Threatens To Scrap “Star Line” Project

August 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Fans are eager for Chance the Rapper to deliver Star Line. However, there constant and specific nagging could be ruining things for everyone else. According to AllHipHop, the Chicago, Illinois multi-talent went on Instagram Live to explain what he’s wanting from his supporters during the project’s rollout. He understands a lot of people are excited for it, but he also wants everyone to respect what Star Line means to him. He essentially describes it as more than an album and that its going to be something totally unique compared to what other artists in his lane are doing.

He begins his address, saying, “All right, so this was the main point I was trying to make. Stop calling it the album. And I don’t mean that in an ungrateful way. I’m grateful that people are putting in my comments, ‘Drop the album’. I’m not going to drop the album until y’all start calling it Star Line“. He continues, “I’m not going to drop the project. I got so much s*** ready. But I hope that y’all understand that. I understand how all this stuff works. ‘Drop the album.’ That’s for all the other artists. That’s for all everybody else, whose work I also appreciate. But what I’m doing is something different. It’s something very specific. It’s called Star Line“.

Chance The Rapper Wants His Fans To Tell Him To Drop Star Line

A post shared by AllHipHop (@allhiphopcom)

On top of this, Chance also wants fans to refer to it as such due to how long he’s been teasing this record. “I’ve been saying one specific phrase for coming up on two or three years now. I’ve been saying Star Line. You see the star, n****’s asleep, but he got the star on his shoulders. He carrying it”. Not only does this irk the rapper, it also confuses him. “It confuses me. It makes me think that everybody doesn’t [know what’s going on]”. So, the one thing that will encourage him to keep going forward with the rollout and eventually drop is to properly acknowledge it by calling it Star Line. “If y’all say he drop Star Line enough, it’s going to make me drop Star Line… I don’t know what the album is. I know about a Star Line, you hear me? And that’s on everything”.

What are your thoughts on Chance the Rapper threatening to toss his Star Line LP? Do you think his fanbase will abide by his request? When do you see the Chicago native releasing this tape? Is this still one of your most anticipated releases of the year/in general? 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 Chance the Rapper. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.
