Kamaiyah Delivers An Easy & Breezy Listening Experience With “Before We Party”

September 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kamaiyah has a cult following and it’s for good reason. Overall, the Oakland, California native can give you all sorts of vibes at any given moment. She can go from funky West Coast bangers to more vibey and slowed down cuts. The latter is what she was delivering on her latest mini album, Figuring Out My Emotions. Overall, it was about all of the feelings she had dealt with recently. Her being able to switch up her style so effortlessly also leads to an exciting unpredictability factor. It seems that whenever she experiences some sort of mood swing, she becomes inspired to drop something new. That could be what has led Kamaiyah to drop off this new seven-track tape, Before We Party.

To us, this project feels like it’s here to tide fans over for something in the LP format. Part of our reasoning actual comes just from the title itself. However, the tracks are also contributing to that. Given that it’s just over 18 minutes long, Before We Party appears to be here for the vibes and no more than that. But to be honest, that’s not a bad thing, especially when its Kamaiyah the one bringing them. She’s someone you can almost always go to for crisply produced and fun tracks. That’s exactly what this is, and it does it very well. Kamaiyah sadly never got the same love as some of the bigger femcees, but that doesn’t bother us. She’s consistent as they come and it’s why we keep coming back to her projects no matter how big or small.

Before We Party – Kamaiyah

Before We Party Tracklist:

1 Night In Reno
Ball Till I Fall
F*** Love
F***’d Up
Hoochie Land
Standing On Business
Winning

310babii Delivers Another Party Anthem With “That’s It”

September 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

310babii might be pretty new to the professional rap game, but he’s carving a nice niche for himself already. The California rapper knows how to craft fun party tracks that are sure to get club-goers on the dancefloor. We aren’t Nostradamus, but we probably should have saw his abilities to do this sooner because his debut single “soak city (do it)” was an instant hit. Over a year later, the record still ranks amongst the most popular on the Spotify platform with over 167,000,000 streams. Now, 310babii is looking to sprinkle a little bit more of that magic onto his newest track, “that’s it”.

It’s also the latest single for his next project, 310degrees, which is due next Friday, October 4. So far, we have gotten five of the 12 songs, so hopefully this will be the last one to be shared. Other tasters include “pink whitney”, “rock your hips” with OHGEESY and BlueBucksClan, it’s remix with Saweetie, and “forward back”. On “that’s it”, you are getting a track that was made for the ladies out there looking to get loose. “At this point, the h*es know what to do / Way too many hotties, I don’t know who to choose
She heard I got pape’, now the b**** tryna freak mе (Ayy) / If she hot and got a wet t*at, she can hit mе“. Also like his past tracks, 310babii brings that West Coast bounce and couples it with some bell loops. Give it a try below with the link to the music video.

“That’s It” – 310babii

Quotable Lyrics:

She dressed like she goin’ to the club (Goin’ to the club)
She just want d***, she don’t want no love (Nah)
Told her, “F*** it up, get busy” (Yeah)
She spinnin’ off the beatbox, said she gettin’ dizzy, huh (Like what?)
Pretty b**** doin’ lashes (Baow)
I got a problem, bae, I like to smack a**es (Uh-huh)

YG Finally Releases “JUST RE’D UP 3” Featuring Lil Yachty, Ty Dolla $ign, Saweetie, & More

August 16, 2024 by newhiphopnews

YG has been in quite the mix-up over the past couple of days. Reportedly, a neighbor called the police as they were worried about loud noises coming from inside his and his girlfriend (?) Saweetie’s home. When authorities arrived, they quickly separated the two after an intense shouting match that thankfully didn’t involve any hands being thrown. Since then, fans are skeptical on how their relationship will move forward. However, YG doesn’t seem all that bothered after shutting down rumors and dropping his new album, JUST RE’D UP 3.

The California MC has been working toward this release over the last couple of months, leaving off single after single. The lead-off track was “KNOCKA”, which came out back in April. After, that YG would go on to give fans four more, including “STUPID” with Lil Yachty and Babyface Ray, “WEIRD”, and more. This is obviously now the third installment in his Just Re’d Up series, which started back at the early stages of the 2010s. Now, after about 11 years since number two, 3 is here. You can check it out with the links below and there are plenty of names attached to this album. Kaliii, Stunna Girl, Kalan.FrFr, Mustard, Larry June, and G Herbo are just few to list.

Larry June Oozes Confidence From Every Pore On Wavy “Like A Mack”

July 22, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Larry June can never seem to slow down, but we aren’t complaining when we are getting songs like “Like a Mack”. Since the release of his November 10, 2023 album, The Night Shift, Uncle Larry is seemingly already getting back into album mode. In 2024, the San Francisco, California MC has put out three other singles. Those include “Imported Couches”, “Meet Me In Napa”, and “Dreams”. Larry isn’t one to experiment too often, but he continues to perfect and build upon his signature luxurious, hazy style. That is more of what Larry June is doing lately and on “Like a Mack”. Where this new single differs from its previous threesome is that is more of trap flavor to the instrumental.

Typically, the “Smoothies in 1991” songwriter opts for swanky beats in which the drums play more of a background role. However, “Like a Mack” features them more prominently. Still, though, Larry still brings the West Coast sound to this record which is aided by a nice guitar loop. As per usual, the prolific veteran is extremely self-absorbed, yet charismatic. The tempo of the instrumental is a little faster, but fans on YouTube have pointed out how it sounds good slowed down. We definitely agree with that take, adding more replay ability to an already catchy June tune. With four singles already out in seven months and still about four and a half to go, a new album is probably on the horizon. It is not confirmed, but that is the hope we have because June continues to produce at a high level.

“Like A Mack”- Larry June

Quotable Lyrics:

I walk like a mack
Talk like a mack
Stack racks like a mack
Trap like a mack

Jay Worthy & DāM FunK Celebrate The West Coast With Bouncy G-Funk Cuts On “Magic Hour”

July 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

“MAGIC HOUR OUT NOW THIS WAS 7 YEARS IN THE MAKING HAPPY TO FINALLY SHARE THIS WITH THE WORLD THIS FOR ALL THE REAL HEADS WHO KNOW WHATS UP FUNK DONT QUIT ”. It is clear that Jay Worthy is ecstatic to have Magic Hour out after all of his hard work. This collaboration album with longtime producer from Cali, DāM FunK, is led by three singles, all of which came out this year. Jay put out “Westside” with DRAM in late April, “105 West” with a whole host of guests (Ty Dolla $ign, Channel Tres, A-Trak, and DJ Quik), and then “Rich Today”. Each track is a direct and worthy homage to the G-Funk sound.

That seems to be what Jay Worthy wanted to accomplish with DāM FunK on Magic Hour. Even though this project was supposedly conceived all these years ago, it could not have come at a better time. With how successful the entire West Coast scene has been in 2024, releasing an album celebrating one of the region’s most iconic soundscapes was a great idea. Jay has certainly helped contribute heavily to this achievement, now dropping his second project (Affiliated 2), as well as helping Kendrick Lamar with the “Not Like Us” music video.

As for Magic Hour, DāM FunK brings so many variations of instrumentals and every one of them is incredibly smooth and chill. No matter where you are in the world, this project will make you feel like you are cruising down the roads of California with the top down during the summer. The guest performers, who range from Honda Carter, Barney Bones, Polyester the Saint and more, all bring a sense of aura to Jay’s lax rapping. Overall, Magic Hour is one of the best tapes to check out right now.

Magic Hour– Jay Worthy & DāM FunK

Magic Hour Tracklist:

San Dimas (feat. G Perico & Honda Carter)
Westside with DRAM
Rich Today with Leven Kali (feat. Polyester the Saint)
Boogie (feat. Nhale)
Can’t Do That
105 West with A-Trak (feat. Ty Dolla $ign, Channel Tres & DJ Quik)
It’s So Hard (feat. Osbe Chill)
Untouchable (feat. P-LO)
Olde 8 Again Interlude
Heartstop (feat. Channel Tres)
Connected (feat. Barney Bones)
Bounce (feat. Soopafly)
Watch Your Tone (feat. Ray Wright)
Caught Up
Let You Go (feat. Sha Hef
Can’t Fade The Funk (feat. Honda Carter)

YG, Lil Yachty, Babyface Ray, & Mustard Go “STUPID” On New Single

July 9, 2024 by newhiphopnews

With the entire West Coast on 10 right now thanks to Kendrick Lamar’s massive win over Drake, everyone is eager to drop. YG is one of those guys, especially as of late. The Compton native is working toward the release of his third entry in the Just Re’d Up series, which is dropping on August 16. He broke the news on his social media platforms a couple of weeks ago, along with the artwork which pays homage to the exotic car theme. On cover three, the hitmaker is with a trio of whips which includes a Maybach, Ferrari and Rolls-Royce. Enough about expensive vehicles, though, YG has a new single called “STUPID” out now!

This is potentially the fifth promotional cut, with 2022’s “Miss My Dawgs” with Lil Wayne possibly being the lead-off record. However, we know for sure that “WEIRD”, “SHAKE”, and “KNOCKA” are making the final cut. “STUPID” is following up on the second of those three, which was a** popping track featuring Kaliii and Stunna Girl. On “STUPID”, YG is offering up a pure West Coast banger about living life unapologetically and it features production from Mustard. The latter lays down another winner of an instrumental, especially with the addition of the flutes. Lil Yachty and Babyface Ray also appear on the single, both providing some solid and cohesive performances overall.

Listen To “STUPID” By YG, Lil Yachty, & Babyface Ray

Quotable Lyrics:

Ayy, n****s be the loudest with no fuckin’ money (Skee)
I be blowin’ b****es backs off two packs of— (Wah)
How you sent your boys to war with no ammunition?
Yeah, you put up Rolls Royce, but it’s standard edition (Wah)
Found out what you hit this s*** like a bad magician
This enough to cook his waiter, lose existence

Billboard Of Kendrick Lamar’s “Pop Out” Concert Appears In California

July 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kendrick Lamar not only took down one of the titans of the rap game in Drake, but he also unified an entire segment of the genre. The iconic Compton, California MC did so through orchestrating an incredible one-time concert called The Pop Out – Ken and Friends. It took place a few weeks ago, and it is still fresh in a lot of fans’ minds. Honestly, it will probably never be forgotten amongst the community, as it generated amazing moments galore. To help immortalize The Pop Out even more, a billboard reusing the photo of Kendrick Lamar and other West Coast greats has now appeared in Inglewood.

Complex‘s Instagram account shared the image, and it is equally awesome as the original picture. It also borrows the “Not Like Us” title in a clever and simple way with the billboard reading, “Us.” Below that, you can see that it was a collaboration with Lamar’s pgLang label, Amazon Music, among other entities. This really signifies how impactful this victory was even beyond one rapper. When Kendrick rapped on “euphoria”, “I’m what the culture feelin’“, it is incredible how accurate that statement is.

Kendrick & The West Coast Created An Iconic Photo At “The Pop Out”

While the debate between who won between him and Drake is totally out of the question, the only thought that now remains is, “When will the “Not Like Us” video drop? There have been several headlines surrounding the alleged filming of its visuals, but nothing in terms of when it is coming. Just like The Pop Out, it figures to be another major moment in this event-packed timeline. Kendrick’s victory lap can last as long as it wants in our opinion.

What are your thoughts on this Kendrick Lamar Pop Out billboard in Inglewood, California? Is this event going to go down as one of the most iconic moments in hip-hop history, why or why not? Is this West Coast officially on top of the rap world right now? Do you think he will drop a music video for “Not Like Us” sooner than later? 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 Kendrick Lamar. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

Jay Worthy Builds On His Momentum With Album Single “105 West” Featuring Ty Dolla $ign, Channel Tres & More

June 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Jay Worthy is always going to be a popular voice in the underground hip-hop scene, especially on the West Coast. However, after popping out to The Pop Out: Ken and Friends a couple of days ago, this could be one of the most vital turning points in his career. On top of that, if Kendrick Lamar is indeed shooting a music video for “Not Like Us” in Compton, that would be the cherry on top. Because of all of this, he has chance to break into the mainstream, that is of course if he wants to. He is already extremely successful in his lane and does not absolutely need some viral moment to propel his career. In that same breath though, Jay Worthy is definitely capitalizing on this period, dropping a new single “105 West”.

This is a massive collaboration track, as it features DaM-FunK, A-Trak, Ty Dolla $ign, Channel Tres, and DJ Quik. On “105 West”, Jay Worthy and the crew bring the ultimate California summer vibes, as the production from DaM-FunK is playing heavy on the synth-funk sound. Everyone delivers great and energizing performances, especially Ty Dolla $ign, as he interpolates the melody from the chorus on Snoop Dogg’s “Gin & Juice”. On top of this being a great track on its own, it will soon find a home on an upcoming Jay and DaM-FunK album. According to Stereogum, Magic Hour will hit streaming platforms sometime next month. If “105 West” has shown us anything, it is that this project will be one to remember for the year and perhaps beyond. The West Coast notches another W for the books.

Tyga & 310babii Collide On Bouncy Single “Uh Huh”

June 21, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Tyga is staying hot as he drops a club-ready track with 310babii, “Uh Huh”. This is now the California veteran’s third solo release of the year, following “Sensei” and “Hello B*tch”. The latter is taking off, raking in about 2.2 million views on YouTube in two weeks. Part of the reason it is doing so well is the instrumental and the sample that it works in. Lil Jon’s classic “Couldn’t Be A Better Playa” is used to great effect, modernizing the eerie beat for the youth. In a similar way to “Hello B*tch”, Tyga is putting people on to something or someone many people might not know. 310babii is relatively new to the rap game, with the Inglewood, California native blowing up just last year.

The song to know is “soak city”, which has an equally popular alternate all-West Coast version. Tyga makes an appearance, along with Blueface, OHGEESY, and the BlueBucksClan. Subsequently, that seems to be where him and 310 begun to develop some synergy. Now, Tyga has him one of his tracks, that being “Uh Huh”. Also like the last single, this one is also ready for the night club atmosphere. Both rappers are extremely braggadocious, as per usual, and the instrumental is also pretty ear-grabbing. The quick piano keys and heavy bass play really nice together. Tyga and 310 do find pockets very quickly and they are able to keep things engaging throughout the short but punchy run time. There is a chance that this track, along with the other two we mentioned, do have some chance of making an album this year. Nothing has been confirmed yet, but if Tyga proceeds in that manner he has a solid record on his hands.

North West Had A Blast At Kendrick Lamar’s “Pop Out” Concert

June 20, 2024 by newhiphopnews

North West has been around a lot of music over the years thanks to her father, Kanye West. Overall, she has expressed an interest in making songs of her own. In fact, she was on the album Vultures with the song, “Talking.” Ultimately, this was a great introduction to the music world. That said, North West got a true education in West Coast rap last night as she was present at “The Pop Out.” Kendrick Lamar’s concert is still on our minds today, and we’re sure it left an impression on North.

As you can see in the tweet down below, North was in the stands, but near the guard rail, which was easily one of the best seats in the house. She got a perfect view of the stage, where numerous incredible artists popped out. During DJ Hed’s set, we got numerous young West Coast artists. Meanwhile, Mustard came out to give us some of his biggest hits. From there, Kendrick came out and he brought the house down with a five-time performance of “Not Like Us.”

North West In The Crowd

Even Kanye’s collaborator Ty Dolla Sign was in attendance. There were some fans hoping to see Kanye there, but he was in Paris for Fashion Week with his wife. Regardless, it was a truly incredible occasion and we’re sure fans are going to remember it for the rest of their lives. Perhaps this will inspire other artists to hold these kinds of concerts in their own city. If last night proved anything, it’s that fans are clamoring for it.

Let us know what you thought of “The Pop Out,” in the comments section down below. Did the concert live up to all of your expectations? What do you think about songs Kendrick chose to perform?
