Latto’s “Sunday Service” Visual Takes Us On A Trip Through The Bronx

Whatever’s going on between Latto and Ice Spice definitely isn’t as tense as the drama between Megan Thee Stallion and Nicki Minaj. However, hip-hop heads have been curious to see how the two younger women will handle the beef that’s been brewing between them for months now. While they’ve never come to blows in person, there’s been plenty of subliminal shade thrown online, and more recently in the studio too. After the redhead confirmed that her first single of 2024 is a diss aimed at Latto, the 25-year-old seems to have aimed at Spice on her “Sunday Service” song, which hit DSPs today (February 9).

Not long after the single’s debut, the former reality star shared its accompanying visual, much of which was filmed in her opp’s neighbourhood – The Bronx in New York. “Every time y’all book me with them h**s, it’s gon’ be big drama / Twenty black Suburbans, we pull up like Sunday Service,” Latto enunciates on her hook. In the following verse is when her apparent shot at Spice comes out. “These b**ches corny, soon as monkey see, then you know monkey do / Do you rap or do you tweet ’cause I can’t tell, get in the booth, b**ch,” she begins.

Latto Lights Up New Music Friday with a “Sunday Service”

“Think I’m the s**t? / Bitch, I know it, ho / Jesus walked on water, I got ice boiling though,” Latto’s clever bars continue. She tapped Go Grizzly, Pooh Beatz, and Bankroll Got It to produce for her, creating a distinctly Southern sound reminiscent of the blonde beauty’s roots.

We’re just weeks into 2024, but already it’s shaping up to be a big year for the music industry’s leading ladies. Besides “Sunday Service” from Latto, we also got Yung Miami’s “50/50 Freestyle,” in which she lashes out at podcaster DJ Akademiks for all his hateful behaviour. Check that out at the link below, and tap back in with HNHH later this weekend to stream more of our release recommendations.

Nashville Drake Fan Leaves Show $100K Richer After Finishing Chemotherapy: Video

Drake and 21 Savage kept us on our toes through the autumn of 2023 on their It’s All a Blur tour. After wrapping that, the 6ix God announced his plans to take a brief hiatus from a busy few years of music, instead pouring energy into his physical and mental wellbeing. Unsurprisingly, those plans ultimately changed as he and J. Cole scheduled a run of performances this winter following the success of their “First Person Shooter” collaboration. So far things have been off to a strong start, and Drake even seems to be in the giving spirit long past the holiday season.

As you may recall, his last stint on the road saw the Toronto native handing out all kinds of prizes to concert patrons. At one performance, Drizzy was sure to reward an audience member who brought in a sign to brag about the hours she put in giving Brazillian waxes in order to afford her ticket. This time around, the Scorpion rapper is keeping things slightly more PG, instead giving back to a fan in Nashville who recently wrapped up one of the most traumatizing experiences of her life.

LadBible reports that Champagne Papi was on stage this past Wednesday (February 7) when he briefly paused his concert to shout out a 33-year-old woman named Lauren Schwallier. That same day, she spent five hours at Vanderbilt University Medical Centre, undergoing bone at CT scans. She was diagnosed with breast cancer in March 2022 and recently completed chemo before getting to see Drake live. After performing “God’s Plan” he took notice of her sign in the crowd with the exciting news. “I hope my manager doesn’t kill me ’cause I’ve never really done this much, but, listen, I want you to cash this in at the end of the night,” he declared. “We’re gonna give you $100,000.”

As with most things the father of one does, some of his recent tour outfits have been bringing in criticism from internet trolls. At this point in his career, haters rarely phase Drake, though he did take a moment to comment on this situation as only he can. Read what the Canadian had to say at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Megan Thee Stallion’s “HISS” Going No. 1 Wasn’t Organic, According To “The Joe Budden Podcast” Hosts

Even with all the forces conspiring against her, Megan Thee Stallion successfully achieved her third career No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 earlier in February. “HISS” not only allowed the Houston-born hottie to air out her feelings surrounding the drama that’s been circulating her for the past few years but also broke the internet largely due to her mention of “Megan’s Law,” which offended Nicki Minaj.

Supporters who have been running up streams on “HISS” since it first dropped weren’t surprised to see the diss track debut at the top of the prestigious list. Still, there are skeptics – particularly among The Joe Budden Podcast co-hosts – who have questions about the authenticity of Thee Stallion’s rollout. “I’m not here to sugar coat it, we could see through certain s**t,” one person on a recent episode of the popular internet show argued. “It’s the same fight that Nicki been talking about, the machines, and the manufactured diss.”

“I think I saw, it’s a contest going where you can win some merch and get a certain amount of entries by streaming a song here,” he continued. “Uh, and signing up for the mailing list here. This is all the little tricks of the trade that they disqualify other artists for, but because this one is on our side and in our group we allow it to go.”

Fans of the femcee aren’t happy with Joe Budden’s recent treatment of Megan Thee Stallion. Elsewhere, the streaming community is also airing their grievances with the podcaster following his comments on Kai Cenat and other young creatives blowing up right now. Adin Ross found himself in a Twitter/X spat over the matter after defending Cenat, and the Florida native wasn’t here for people making the situation about race. Read all about that at the link below, and let us know in the comments if you think “HISS” climbing to the top of the charts was authentic or not.

Fivio Foreign Explains What He Did With His 1.7 Million Signing Bonus

Stories of rappers falling to financial irresponsibility are pretty common in hip-hop. Many rappers have regrettable stories spawning from the financial choices they made earlier in their career. Thankfully, many have taken the opportunity to try and pass some of that financial wisdom along to their peers to prevent them from making the same mistakes. During a recent interview, Fivio Foreign opened up on what he did with his early signing bonus and what he wished he’d known at the time.

The first thing he reveals he purchased is a nearly $100k bulletproof truck. He describes that as the “smartest” decision he made with his money. He also explains that he spent tens of thousands of dollars on chains. But the biggest mistake in his eyes is that he put his money into renting a house instead of buying one. He explains that he didn’t really process the difference he just wanted to move somewhere quickly. Check out the full videos of him explaining his financial decisions after cutting his deal below.

Schoolboy Q Starts New Blog Series As New Album Approaches

On the first day of March, Schoolboy Q will release his first new album in five years since 2019’s critically panned Crash Talk. The album is called Blue Lips and he announced it earlier this month. It’s the first release in what many are expecting to be a big year for his label Top Dawg Entertainment. Earlier this year a document leaked from the label claiming that nearly every single artist currently on their label and even a few new ones have music coming this year.

Schoolboy Q has taken primarily to YouTube to promote the album so far. It began earlier this week when he dropped two new tracks from the project each with their own videos. The songs are called “Blueslides” and “Back In Love” and present two very different sounds from Q. In addition to those tracks he’s also shared part one in a Vlog series. The series is called wHy not? and the first episode takes fans behind the scenes of some of the recording and promotion for Blue Lips. Check out the first episode of his new Vlog series below.

Schoolboy Q Takes Fans Behind The Scenes

Schoolboy Q hasn’t just been working on his own music though. Late last year he popped up on Hell & Nash 2. The album was a long awaited second collaboration between The Alchemist, Conway The Machine, and Westside Gunn. He contributed a guest verse to the track “Fork In The Pot.” The track instantly became a fan favorite and currently sits as the most streamed song on the album on Spotify with nearly 900k plays.

That came a few days after Schoolboy Q found himself in hot water for standing by Kanye West. Despite West’s controversial antisemitic comments in the past two years much of the rap world has continued to have his back. What do you think of Schoolboy Q’s newest vlog? Are you looking forward to Blue Lips? Let us know in the comment section below.

That was the case when they surprised fans last year by dropping a new announcement while in the middle of touring with Drake. That announcement was that she was pregnant, which she confirmed in an Instagram post alongside SZA.

Nicki Minaj Tour Rehearsal Footage Shows “FTCU” Choreography: Watch

Nicki Minaj took a lengthy hiatus from music between 2018’s Queen and 2023’s Pink Friday 2. Since the latter finally arrived, however, she’s hardly taken her foot off the industry’s neck, between tapping legends like 50 Cent, Monica, and Keyshia Cole to join her on the deluxe cut, to preparing for her quickly approaching World Tour. Members of The Barbz already have their tickets, and while they wait for Minaj to hit the road, they’ve been keeping a close eye on her social media for hints of what’s to come.

For the most part, late January and early February have been about responding to Megan Thee Stallion’s “HISS” single. The Queen of Rap’s “Big Foot” diss track clapping back at her nemesis received mixed reactions online, but she hasn’t let that stop her from continuing to fuel the fire. After Meg took the No. 1 spot on the Billboard chart, Minaj turned her attention back to Gag City, which she’s been previewing bits of on Instagram Live.

Earlier this week, the mother of one gave a look at how choreography is coming together. Arguably the most popular song from PF2, “FTCU” obviously has an eye-catching routine lined up, though Minaj didn’t show how her dance moves are looking in comparison to her backup performers, who seem to be putting in serious work.

Now that Nicki Minaj has turned her focus away from Megan Thee Stallion and back toward her impending tour, a few other femcees have stepped up to carry on the baton of hip-hop drama. After Ice Spice went viral with her first single of 2024, Latto is planning to drop hers, called “Sunday Service” on New Music Friday (February 9), and hip-hop heads are speculating whether or not she’ll diss the Bronx baddie. Read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Megan Thee Stallion “Toxic” Preview Earns Various Reactions Online

Megan Thee Stallion isn’t letting the hype from “HISS” fade away without taking full advantage of all the attention she’s been getting. Rather, the Houston hottie is using the sweeping success of her first single of 2024 to tease more new heat she’s been cooking up in the studio. After the former track went No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, marking Meg’s third song to ever do so, she went on Instagram Live to celebrate the big news with her fans. Not only did she put on a show by twerking up a storm, but she also previewed “Toxic,” which could potentially be the next single from her upcoming album.

In her usual fashion, Thee Stallion drops plenty of salacious bars, such as “If you take a trip to Dior, baby, I could be your little wh*re.” During her stream, the Southern starlet was obviously impressed with her work, but so far, the response online has been underwhelming compared to what “HISS” delivered. Nevertheless, Meg’s loyal fans have had her back consistently over the past few days full of emotional intensity.

This the most success she’s going to get 😂😂.” Elsewhere, another negative review says, “I have nothing against Meg so don’t even try coming at me… But hear me out, this sounds like nothing new.”
