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

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.

Kwazii Tries To Fix A Broken Relationship On “Full Circle”

August 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kwazii is someone who we have been shedding some light on as of recent. The artist hails from just up north in great country of Canada and he has the ability to sing and rap. In some respects, he takes some cues from the likes of his more popular contemporaries from his hometown such as Drake, Tory Lanez, and PARTYNEXTDOOR. He really is a dual threat that is looking to make some noise with each release, and to be honest, he’s doing just that. His last three singles, all of which are promoting his forthcoming mixtape, I Was Perfect To Someone, are pulling in good numbers. In fact, all of them hold the top three spots in his top 10 popular releases on his Spotify.

As for Kwazii’s newest track, it’s called “Full Circle”. It’s clear that he is going to be focusing on themes of relationships and their complexities. The focus of “Full Circle” sees Kwazii painfully and annoyingly deal with a woman who’s constantly playing games and gaslighting him. He’s trying to put in the effort to fix their problems, however, she’s not willing to do the same. “You normalizing the things I just can’t do / You stubborn got me praying tryna break through / I tried a thousand ways nothing changed you“. You can check out the new track with the link below. As for when I Was Perfect To Someone will be out, you’ll have to wait until September 20.

“Full Circle”- Kwazii

Quotable Lyrics:

Moments I tend to forget
I’m told are nights to remember
You always creep in my head
I catch that scent of vanilla
They tryna keep me in check
I make a check when I еnter

Adin Ross Teases A New Future Snippet Amid “Mixtape Pluto” Hype

July 27, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Future, Atlanta rap icon, is still commanding a lot of listeners attention in the 2020’s decade. To some that probably isn’t a surprise, but just staying relevant in music is a tremendous feat, especially for how long he’s been in the game. On top of being in the mainstream still, he is almost always at the top of the charts, which just further solidifies his status. It’s why both of his collaborative efforts with his close producing pal Metro Boomin, WE DON’T TRUST YOU and WE STILL DON’T TRUST YOU, are two of the biggest records of the year. That’s the other thing that is impressive about Pluto. No matter how often he drops, fans are constantly wanting more from him.

That is currently true at this moment in time as well, as ever since the release of WSDTY, he has been teasing the crap out his return to the mixtape format. There was a point in May where Future had a lot of people thinking that project would be coming. Instead, it turned out to be a guest placement on a Tee Grizzley single, “Swear to God”. That seemingly started a mini feature run and not much has been said about this return to Future’s mixtape era.

How’s This New Future Sounding?

However, things are seemingly ramping back up, as a new song snippet was just previewed. With streaming becoming such a major market right now due to names like Kai Cenat, Jynxzi, and Sketch, for example, rappers especially are using it as a tool to spread the word on their upcoming material. That is exactly what Future decided to do, using Adin Ross’ platform to tease a potential track from Mixtape Pluto. There aren’t a lot of lyrics in the snippet, but the instrumental sounds extremely ominous and intoxicating. Ross seemed to like what he heard, and possible credit could go to Southside for the beat. He has been quoted talking about assisting Future, which is great considering their track record together.

What are your thoughts on this new Future snippet? Do you think this a track that will land on this upcoming mixtape? Is he the current king of trap rap, why or why not? Is he your 2024 Rap MVP? 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 Future.

SoFaygo & Don Toliver Tag Team A Lil Tecca Beat With “Precision” In Cactus Jack Link-Up

July 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

SoFaygo might not be the biggest artist on the Cactus Jack label, but the fans sure adore him. Ever since he inked his deal, he has yet to work with Travis Scott and a majority of its counterparts. However, SoFaygo can say him and Don Toliver have solid chemistry, and we would agree they display that on their latest effort together, “Precision”. Also on this cut is New York hitmaker Lil Tecca, who is wearing his producer hat this time around. Him and the Grand Rapids, Michigan rapper are also frequent collaborators, with Tecca typically in control of the instrumentals only.

With SoFaygo steadily developing these connections over the years in the industry, it is no surprise to is that “Precision” slaps. Overall, we feel the beat is the biggest highlight, as Tecca brings an atmospheric and dark production with a slick drum pattern. It is hard-hitting right from the jump thanks to this looping tone in the background. To Faygo’s credit, he does bring a sticky chorus to the table. As for Don, some of his bars are little out there, but unhinged qualities they possess compliment that rage-like energy this single gives off. “Precision” does appear to be landing a project rumored to be called, WAR II: NEVER APOLOGIZE, but overall details seem to be a little up in the air.

Listen To “Precision” By SoFaygo & Don Toliver

Quotable Lyrics:

She said that she good, she a slut (Yeah, go)
D—D—Don’t believe it (Yeah, yeah), don’t believe it (Yeah, yeah)
Start the whip (Yeah, yeah), crank the Demon
Know I been gone for a while but, baby, I’m holding it down (Ah)
How could you copy the sound when Faygo got so many styles?
Okay, I been in my lane, I been in my own isle

Capella Grey Previews Upcoming Album With “Strings” Featuring French Montana & Fivio Foreign

June 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Capella Grey has grown his brand very well over the course of his career. The Bronx, New Yorker has mixed elements of rap, R&B, and dancehall to create a very unique sound, one that he can partially thank for his Jamaican roots. In addition to this, he also has his own label, Allepac the Family (Capella backwards), in the early stages of the 2020 decade. The solo catalog is still a work in progress for the 28-year-old multi-hyphenate, as he has just two shorter projects to boast right now. Both dropped in 2023 and one was more of a Christmas/holiday-themed record. So, if you wanted to be really technical about it, Capella only has one album out. Soon though, that album catalog will expand to two it seems. If you head over to his Instagram page his bio reads, “Vibe Responsibly Vol.1 [6/21]”. There is not much information on it when it comes to tracklist or features, but we do a small piece to the puzzle now. That would be Capella Grey’s “Strings” with French Montana and Fivio Foreign.

This is one of many single releases for him this year, but it is his fifth solo offering. On “Strings”, Capella Grey sings about wanting to be with a woman without any commitment. Fivio and French share the same sentiments, as the duo raps over a mix of dancehall and R&B instrumentation. The rhythm is there, and the melodies from Capella add a nice bit of extra sauce to the track overall. If you want, you can check out “Strings” on YouTube with the link below or on your favorite streaming service.

Tink & Summer Walker Have Difficulties Resisting Temptations On “Songs About U”

May 31, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Tink and Summer Walker are having a hard time moving on from a lover on their new single “Songs About U”. This is the latest offering from the Illinois balladeer and singer’s forthcoming project, Winter’s Diary 5. It is the 29-year-old veteran’s halo series in her discography, and it is the one that jumpstarted her career. In fact, her first four releases were all Winter’s Diary titles.

However, this fifth one will be Tink’s first in eight years, so this fan-favorite entry is a big deal. This will supersede Thanks 4 Nothing, her 2023 tape that boasted features such as Ty Dolla $ign and Yung Bleu. Another reason that this project is big news is because of one producer in particular. That would happen to be Hitmaka, who had a tumultuous relationship with Tink for quite a while.

Listen To “Songs About U” By Tink & Summer Walker

Things got really ugly between them, including an alleged physical altercation in which Tink accused Hitmaka of, and one that the latter denied up and down. However, in one of the more recent updates, it seems they have smoothed things over enough to where they are comfortable working in the studio together. So far, Hitmaka has already produced two of the tracks, including this one. On this track, Tink recruits Summer Walker for a night of drinking that leads to them questioning if they want to get back with someone who was not really good for them. Coincidence? We think not.

What are your thoughts on “Songs About U” by Tink and Summer Walker? Is this the best promotional track from her upcoming tape, why or why not? Does this have you interested in what is to come on Winter’s Diary 5? Who had the stronger performance and why? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.

Quotable Lyrics:

Cause I’m drunk off love and I can’t gеt off of you
First, we fight, then we f*** and make up
Got me coming back to you
All this toxic energy keep getting the best of me
Lovers to enemies, thought that would always be (Always be)
Hit your phone in the club ‘cause I’m drunk

Black Eyed Peas Team Up With El Alfa & Becky G For “Bad Boys: Ride Or Die” Track “TONIGHT”

May 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

In just under a month, icons Will Smith and Martin Lawrence will be hitting the big screen as Mike Lowrey and Marcus Burnett once again. The buddy cop film franchise, Bad Boys, will be getting its fourth installment, Ride or Die, in theaters on June 7. Its original motion picture debuted back on April 7, 1995 and one of the actors’ defining roles. While we most likely will not review the film, we are hear to break down a new exclusive track for it called “TONIGHT.”

This is a collaboration between pop/Latin pop legends. Black Eyed Peas, El Alfa, and Becky G were all in the studio to give the movie some extra oomph. However, fans, at least musically speaking, are going to be quite disappointed in this track. “TONIGHT” is one of the most painfully boring records that we have heard this year.

Listen To “TONIGHT” By Black Eyed Peas, El Alfa, & Becky G

Making music for a film is never easy. We say that because the artists have to pull back a bit when it comes to getting creative for the sake that it matches a scene or tone. Which is why a good number of listeners loathe soundtracks. “TONIGHT” will presumably do what it is was set out for, but looking at it from a critical standpoint, it is wallpaper at best.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single “TONIGHT” by Black Eyed Peas, El Alfa, and Becky G? Does this track build any anticipation for the forthcoming soundtrack? Additionally, does it hype up the Bad Boys: Ride or Die film, why or why not? Who had the strongest performance? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.

Quotable Lyrics:

Here we go again, buddy, get it, get it in tonight
No offense, only messin’ with the 10 tonight
Baby, me and my friends ’bout to win tonight
Pray for me, forgive me for my sins tonight
No need to pretend tonight
Authentic, go 100% tonight
