Nelly Announces Massive World Tour Costarring St. Lunatics Fabolous, Ja Rule, & More

December 9, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Nelly has a major announcement, and we mean it! The Texas born multi-talent is going to be embarking on a whale of a world tour starting toward the end of March. It’s going to be called the Where The Party At Tour and will also co-star multiple guests. Joining him on this trek will be Ja Rule, Eve, Fabolous, Jermaine Dupri, and even St. Lunatics (more on that in a second). According to HipHopNMore, this all being orchestrated to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Nelly’s debut album, Country Grammar. There will be a total of 54 dates, and he will be hitting up countries including New Zealand, Australia, Canada, Europe.

The first of those aforementioned countries will kick the world tour off. It will run from March 21 through September 19 and is being put together by Live Nation. Of course, not every special artist will not be able to perform at each country nor date. So, here’s a little breakdown of who will be where. In Australia and New Zealand, Nelly will be with St. Lunatics, Chingy, and Jermaine Dupri. Then, when he heads over to Canada, Ja Rule, Chingy, and Dupri will be joining him.

Then, for Europe and the United Kingdom, they will be treated to Eve, Fabolous, and Dupri. Finally, for the United States and Toronto shows, the roster will be Nelly, Ja Rule, Eve, Chingy, and Dupri. Of course, there will be several stops in which the hitmaker will be by himself on stage. Sadly, and interestingly, St. Lunatics are only going to be performing Down Under and in New Zealand.

As we said earlier, we wound expound a little upon the whole St. Lunatics situation. If you remember, it was just a couple of months ago when Nelly’s former bandmates were trying to receive $50 million from him. This was going down because Lunatics members were claiming that he failed to give the songwriting credits for several cuts on the album that’s being celebrated on this tour. Almost all of them have since backed out of the lawsuit back in November as they claimed to not give their consent. However, Ali is still seeking royalties, so he may not be joining Nelly on this tour. Still though, it’s good to see them beginning to reconcile some.

ScHoolboy Q Announces Another Tour For “Blue Lips” Along With An Exciting Twist

November 19, 2024 by newhiphopnews

After five long years of waiting, ScHoolboy Q came back with a fresh mindset and creative ideas for his next project. Following the announcement of BLUE LIPS, it quickly became a highly anticipated album to check out. The results were highly satisfactory and despite a ton of fabulous records since its release in March, it’s remained an AOTY contender. Sadly, the GRAMMYs did it no justice, leaving it out of the Best Rap Album category. But most fans are going to appreciate it anyway, and they should. It’s Q’s most personal, grown-up, and ambitious record to date with some of the best beat switches all year as well.

Just a few months later, the Oxymoron MC took his sixth studio effort on a unique tour called, Blue Lips Weekends. From the weekends beginning on July 18 through August 11, ScHoolboy Q hit up cities like Chicago, Dallas, Seattle, and more for 11 dates. The rare and shorter format wound up to be a success for the California rapper because he’s doing something similar again. According to Pitchfork, ScHoolboy Q is heading back on tour starting on January 23 in Oakland.

ScHoolBoy Q Might Have Some Bonus Tracks Coming For This Tour

This time, though, there’s a different twist or two. Instead of staying state side, the “THank god 4 me” artist is going to take a couple of weeks off in between. That will allow him to recuperate for the international performances which will see him head to Germany, France, Netherlands, and England. Blue Lips! Got New Songs… Tour will span nine dates in total and based on the name of it, that might be the second special thing with this trek.

“Blue lips…new songs and new sHows,” Q wrote. “New songs” could potentially mean we get some bonus tracks from this era of ScHoolboy Q. Of course, that then leads to a possible deluxe of BLUE LIPS which we could receive any time before, in the middle, or after the tour. This is all speculation, but it is certainly an exciting thing to think about.

Tyler, The Creator Announces “Chromakopia: The World Tour” Guest Starring Lil Yachty & Paris Texas

October 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Tyler, The Creator, in just a week, has one of the most anticipated releases of the year. On his YouTube page, he dropped an album announcement trailer/track called “ST. CHROMA.” After about a minute and 20 seconds elapsed, the title of the project would be revealed. CHROMAKOPIA will be the California creative’s eighth studio LP, and it will be out everywhere next Monday, October 28. He’s given us one full single from it called “Noid” which brought some serious experimentation with a Zambian rock sample. The themes about fame and being terrified of it to some degree are heavily present and it will be interesting to see where he takes the rest of the album. For now, though, Tyler, The Creator has some more exciting news to share.

Just moments ago, the eclectic multi-talent announced the CHROMAKOPIA: THE WORLD TOUR. It’s a massive undertaking, as it will kick off on February 4 in Minnesota and end on September 4 in Perth. Opening acts will include Lil Yachty and experimental rap duo Paris Texas. There are some rumors and speculation going around that they will both be on the project, so fingers crossed.

As for ticket information, here’s what we know. General on-sale will start on November 1 at 10 a.m. local time. American Express customers, though, are going to have multiple benefits and they are as follows. According to the press release, they will have access to purchase exclusive merch at select venues across the tour. AMEX sales will also start earlier than the general on-sale. That will begin on October 29 with the full breakdown available here. Right now, the website activity is so heavy that there is currently a wait time at the time of writing. If that tells you anything it’s that fans are ecstatic for Tyler’s return.

What are your thoughts on Tyler, The Creator’s announcement of the CHROMAKOPA: THE WORLD TOUR? Do you think the opening acts are going to be features on the album? Do you plan on attending any of the tour stops? 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 Tyler, The Creator. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

9lives Produces An Ethereal Jersey Club Piece With “My Way” Featuring Rico Nasty & Kanii

October 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

9lives, one of the more popular underground producers going today, has a new breakup single out this weekend called “my way.” It features the ever so talented and versatile Rico Nasty, as well as frequent collaborator of the New Zealand native, Kanii. The 20-year-old really likes what he has here with “my way,” especially when it comes to Ms. Nasty’s portions. “Rico killed her verse and hook. It feels to me that she’s talking about her ex, and that nothing is going to get in her way of moving on. I think that it’s empowering for anyone who’s going through something right now.” This is 9lives’ latest single, as it follows up on his collaboration with Kanii and Anycia on “I DID IT” back in August.

The song is catchy thanks to both of his guest’s melodies, but also because of the beat. Here, 9lives lays down a Jersey club instrumental that’s tender and light on its feet. That quality is brought out thanks to its softer drum patterns and ethereal background. The layers continue from there, though. 9lives includes synths that sound like ones from Minecraft or some other indie sandbox game. Overall, he has been dropping a lot lately, so there is some hope that an album is imminent. Nothing has been announced yet though, so we are just going to have to wait and see. But he does have a tour coming up. According to a press release, he will be starting his trek in Hamburg, Germany on November 30. Kanii is joining 9lives and the #BLUE tour will run through December 17.

Snoop Dogg Hints At 2025 Tour To Support New “Missionary” Album With Dr Dre

September 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Snoop Dogg will reunite with Dr. Dre for their next collaborative album Missionary, which doesn’t have a release date yet. They’ve indicated that they want to drop it in November to commemorate the anniversary of their last full-length team-up, 1993’s Doggystyle. But a new Forbes report published Sunday (September 29) also added another exciting possibility to this reunion. Moreover, the writer mentioned “talk of a tour as early as next year,” although this wasn’t directly attributed to Tha Doggfather. As such, maybe it’s just wishful thinking or a misplaced interpretation, but it seems unlikely that they would drop this album without taking it on the road.

“Music is my foundation. That’s the root of who I am, so I can never run away from that,” Snoop Dogg expressed to the publication. He first announced Missionary back in 2022 on Stephen A. Smith’s Know Mercy podcast. “You’re the first one to hear this: me and Dr. Dre have been working on an album for the past two months,” the Long Beach legend revealed. “It’s produced by Dr. Dre, it’s our 30th anniversary to Doggystyle. And the name of the album is Missionary.” While it didn’t line up with the 30th anniversary, 31 isn’t so bad!

“As soon as we finish this I have to go downstairs and start mixing,” Dr. Dre told Entertainment Tonight last month concerning his upcoming album with Snoop Dogg. “I wanted 14 songs, Snoop wants 16, so we have that thing happening. I’m on song number 11 as far as the mixes go. I have to be done and delivered by September 1st to have a November release.” We never got an update on whether he handed the project in or not…

“I actually did a couple of songs, I’m not sure if one of them’s going to make it or not,” Dr. Dre continued his revelations about Snoop Dogg’s Missionary. “I produced the entire album. But vocally, I think, only one of them is going to make it. There’s a song, we have Sting on the song. Man, it’s an amazing roster of artists that’s on this album. I shouldn’t have revealed that, to be honest.”

Jean Dawson Preps For New Album With Late-Night Cruiser “Houston”

September 21, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Jean Dawson has been thoroughly impressive for a lot of reasons. Out of all the qualities that he possesses, you could easily argue that his versatility is his greatest asset. His ability to hop around different genres without a surface-level approach is quite remarkable. It adds some wonder and mystery to what he’s going to present on a new single or project. Speaking of which, the 28-year-old multi-talent is working toward releasing the latter as we speak. In mid-July, he posted a moody portrait of himself onto IG with a vague “*” caption. Fans were immediately begging for an album in the comments, and not too long after, their wishes would become reality. About a month later, Jean would go on to announce that, along with a tour. “Id like to formally announce “𝒢𝓁𝒾𝓂𝓂𝑒𝓇 𝒪𝒻 𝒢𝑜𝒹” album 3 title and North American tour dates. Can’t wait to see you <33”.

Then, just four days after the reveal (August 16), he dropped the now lead single “Die For Me” which featured Lil Yachty. Now, this weekend, Jean Dawson is back with its second in “Houston”. The previous track was more of a hip-hop/R&B/alternative sounding cut. But in typical Dawson fashion, the sounds are much different. “Houston” sees him take on an 80s synth-pop atmosphere and it sounds heavenly. It’s got that late-night drive vibe, and the lyrical content definitely has some allusions to God. He cleverly uses the phrase “Houston we have a problem” and applies it to him taking off into space to find peace with the big guy above.

“Houston” – Jean Dawson

Quotable Lyrics:

Standing on my tip toes
High as gods hands
I’m just trying to kiss the moon
I’m this close high to Gods hands
Ground control to lift off
Houston, I’m the problem and
I’m never coming back

Rod Wave Gears Up For New Tour & Album With “Passport Junkie”

September 16, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Just yesterday (September 15), Rod Wave’s fifth studio album Nostalgia hit streaming platforms. That project went on to serve the Florida native well as it did spend two weeks atop the Billboard Hot 200. The crooner and rapper definitely has a devoted cult following and it’s safe to say that they are ready for more music already. Well, they are going to be getting their wish soon because the “Heart On Ice” talent is getting ready to drop LP number six. To build anticipation, Rod Wave is here with “Passport Junkie”.

This is potentially the fourth promotional track that will land on Last Lap, as he did drop a newer version of “Numb” in addition to “Lonely”. There’s also his dream collaboration with Drake that was recently previewed on his social media that is expected to make its way onto the record. But Rod Wave isn’t stopping there. He also announced self-titled tour very recently. According to a press release, the 26-year-old artist will be hitting most of the major arenas across the United States. It will start in Arizona on October 19 and go through December 18 and end off near his hometown of St. Petersburg in Fort Lauderdale. Stream “Passport Junkie” and the watch the music video below.

“Passport Junkie” – Rod Wave

Quotable Lyrics:

Yеah, he met her on Sunday, was in thе airport by Monday
If you really gettin’ money, take that girl out the country
She like n****s that’s fun, takin’ shots, gettin’ blunted
I’ll do whatever for your love, it ain’t no leavin’ me
Spend a million in a month, who gon’ compete with me?
I might take her to Paris, fly out her whole family

Wale Returns With Brief But Intriguing “Ghetto Speak” & “Mission Statement” Singles

September 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Wale has kind of been in the dark for a little bit now, but he seems to be ramping up production again with this new “Ghetto Speak” two-pack. This comes on the heels of his Every Blue Moon Tour announcement from a few weeks ago. It’s commemorating the release of his debut album, Attention Deficit, which is now over 15 years old already. The Every Blue Moon trek is going to be quite the journey across the U.S. despite it not being solely for a new release. Wale will begin on September 19 in Fort Lauderdale, FL. Then, he will wrap things up on November 7 in Birmingham, AL. However, noticed how we said “not solely”. There is a great chance that the D.C. talent will promote some new tracks from his ninth album that’s in the works.

It’s possible that it could be named after the tour, and it would be an aptly titled LP given his recent track record. We don’t have a release date yet, but we did receive a snippet of song in the trailer announcement for the tour. Furthering the hype are these two new songs from Wale, “Ghetto Speak” and “Mission Statement”. Both cuts are extremely short with them averaging out to be a minute and a half apiece. However, they do present some descriptive and introspective lyricism, as well as solid beats. “Ghetto Speak” is rougher around the edges with dirty soul vibe. His bars reflect the good and the bad about his hometown. “Mission Statement”, more cleanly produced by T-Minus, sounds more upbeat on the surface, but it has a serious tone like the first. There are great ideas here and we cannot wait for more to come from Wale.

Kehlani Delivers Breezy & Summery R&B Vibes For “While We Wait 2”

August 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kehlani has their die-hard fans jumping for joy this week because they now have While We Wait 2. If this title looks familiar to those not totally in the know, it’s because they have While We Wait in their discography. That was their third mixtape, and it hit DSPs back in 2019. Kehlani didn’t have a major rollout for this second project of 2024, as they hinted at it on their Instagram just about a week ago. There are actually a couple of reasons as to why this wasn’t being teased that long.

For starters, Kehlani delivered their fourth album CRASH back in late June. Secondly, the alternative R&B veteran announced the North American leg of their CRASH World Tour about five weeks prior to WWW2. It’s also worth mentioning they will be hitting the road on September 4. Finally, Kehlani said themselves that this project was completed in a blistering time frame. In a recent Instagram post they wrote, “We made this tape in my back house in two weeks with all people I really dearly love… It was a breezy process and nobody thought hard. Just some feelings in 90 degree weather.” You can definitely hear that in the performances and instrumentals in a good way. Kehlani sounds carefree and chill on this mixtape, making this just as blissful for the listener.

While We Wait 2 – Kehlani

While We Wait 2 Tracklist:

Love Like
When He’s Not There (feat. Lucky Daye)
Clothes Off (feat. kwn)
S.I.N.G.L.E.
