KayCyy, Toro Y Moi, & Weiland Are Emotionally Spent On “Hidden Faces”

April 27, 2024 by newhiphopnews

KayCyy is one of the most exciting names in hip-hop and R&B right now in our opinion. He has so much potential to be one of the best hybrid stars once he eventually drops his rumored projects. According to Genius, the Kenya native has two offerings stashed away at the moment. There are a lot of rumors that he will have both out by this year, after previously teasing 2023 drop dates. It seems we inching closer and closer to the promised land after KayCyy recently put out “Hidden Faces.”

This single is currently only available on YouTube and follows up other tracks such as “My Jeans,” “MOTOWN” with BabyTron. For “Hidden Faces,” KayCyy taps Toro y Moi and Weiland for a somber ballad about falling out of love and feeling emotionally and physically alone. Each singer’s vocals are backed by piano keys and minimal angelic production overall. You can tell by the way KayCyy, Toro, and Weiland are delivering their lyrics that they are in true pain.

As we mentioned earlier, the “THANK GOD” contributor has two projects in the works, and Never Been So Sure looks to be his debut album. Potential features for this record include Toro and Weiland, Swae Lee, 070 Shake, and more. Then, the other offering, WHO IS KAYCYY? might be even more stacked with hopeful appearances from Westside Gunn, VIC MENSA, A$AP Rocky, and Kanye West. Neither have release dates confirmed, but whenever they arrive, we will be amped for the moment.

Surely I’ve gone insane (Yeah)
Baby, please don’t say my name

Erica Banks And “I Ain’t Fresh” Internet Meme Sensation Link Up For Rowdy Track & Music Video

April 27, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Erica Banks has been putting on a clinic over the last few months, especially on YouTube. The DeSoto, Texas rapper and performer has been releasing raunchy and wild singles with accompanying twerk-filled music videos. Most of them have been renditions of previous hit rap songs from the likes of Gucci Mane and Nicki Minaj. While there might be a lot of viewers due to the content of the visuals, Erica has sneakily proven that she has a style that is separating herself from the crowded pack of femcees. Over the weekend, Erica Banks dropped off another track on the platform called “I Ain’t Fresh” and it is going quite viral.

One of the main reasons why is because of the song’s title and music video. If you love keeping up with internet culture and memes, you will recognize a man wearing a striped baby blue Ralph Lauren polo shirt, blue jeans, and baby blue New Balance 574s. Your eyes are not deceiving you either, that is indeed the “I Ain’t Fresh” man from the viral video that swept across all of social media. The original video was recorded by a couple of women outside of a Texas Whataburger. They ruthlessly roasted his fit, but now he is a star in the making.

Listen To “I Ain’t Fresh” By Erica Banks

His name is Derrick Lambert, and he calls Arkansas home. Erica is definitely smart for this move because the video and song is still trending on YouTube. At the time of writing, it sits at number 42 with over 91,000 views. Throughout the hilarious video, Erica is twerking all over Derrick and it looks he is having an absolute ball. As for the song itself, she is rapping with tons of charisma, toxicity, and with a contagious nonchalance. The beat also seems to vaguely sample Soulja Boy’s “Pretty Boy Swag” by speeding up the instrumental. Check out “I Ain’t Fresh” with the link above.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single “I Ain’t Fresh” by Erica Banks? Is this one of her better songs as of late, why or why not? Do you think he should drop this song on streaming services, why or why not? Was it a genius move to bring on the “I Ain’t Fresh” meme star?

G-Eazy Raps Over Saweetie’s “Tap In” With “All I Wanna Do”

February 20, 2024 by newhiphopnews

G-Eazy has been a controversial rapper for most of his career it seems. Some think he may be in the wrong profession, just ask Anthony Fantano. However, over the past decade or so, the Oakland, California veteran has delivered a fair number of bangers. 2014-2015 were some of his peak years with songs like “Me, Myself & I” with Bebe Rexha, “I Mean It” with Remo, “Random,” and “Calm Down,” are fan favorites to this day. However, G-Eazy is looking to round back into that form with “All I Wanna Do.”

Since the release of his last LP, These Things Happen Too, back in 2021, G-Eazy has been releasing a nice chunk of singles and features. He ended 2023 off with “Girls Gone Wild” with Mike G and Offset. That track got numerous versions such as sped up, slowed with reverb, and instrumental only. To start his 2024, “All I Wanna Do” is here to get things going.

Listen To “All I Wanna Do” By G-Eazy

He raps over an interpolation of Saweetie’s hit song “Tap In.” G-Eazy even shouts her out rapping, “Uh, (Yeah) tap, tap, tap in / Saweetie just dropped that pin.” That is not the only person he references to, though. Travis Scott, Tom Brady, and Travis Kelce and Young Thug get their flowers as well in the bars below. The Chiefs tight end can actually be heard at the beginning saying, “You gotta fight for your right, to party.” Finally, there is a callback to Drake and DJ Khaled’s “For Free.” “I go on and on / Can’t understand how I last so long.” Outside of all the references, Eazy sounds good on the track and it has fans pumped for what is to come.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single, “All I Wanna Do,” by G-Eazy? Is this one of his better performances as of late? Do you think he will return with a new album this year? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding G-Eazy.

Quotable Lyrics:

Dot your I’s, cross your T’s
I’m as G as they come but I f*** with T’s
Travis Kelce, Scott, Tom Brady T’s
Don’t forget the most important T-H-U-G, yeah (Free Jeffery)
Made another hit
Super Bowl goals, dreamed I would do this s***

ScHoolboy Q At Peace On “Cooties” & “Love Birds” With Devin Malik & Lance Skiiiwalker

February 20, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It hard to believe we only have 10 more days until ScHoolboy Q drops what looks to be an album of the year contender, BLUE LIPS. If you have not been paying attention, the rollout for this album has been nothing short of incredible. From the album artwork to the trailers, the merchandise, and of course, the music, he really has fans on the edge of their seats. Now, ScHoolboy Q is back with another two pack of “Cooties” and “Love Birds.”

These are now the fourth and fifth songs to be released ahead of the LP. Now, for three consecutive weeks, ScHoolBoy has impressed us with the material. “Blueslides” and “Back n Love” were different sonically but offered a lot of great writing and production. Then, last week, “Yeern 101” took us back to the Oxymoron days where he was dropping head-knocking trap bangers. His blistering flows complemented the up-tempo beat from Cardo to a tee.

Listen To “Cooties” & “Love Birds” Featuring Devin Malik & Lance Skiiiwalker By ScHoolboy Q

This leads us to “Cooties” and “Love Birds.” Both are more vibey and have more of an interlude-like feeling to them. The structures of both songs are mainly a verse and a short chorus on the first of the two. “Cooties” is exclusively handled by Q both rapping and producing wise. He seems at peace on this one. The Cali artist talks about how his kids are finding meaningful interests and how much he has succeeded after removing himself from the people who were bad for him. On “Love Birds,” Q takes a back seat to the singing talents of frequent collaborator Lance Skiiiwalker, while Devin Malik once again takes the reigns on the beat. This one is more about the challenges in relationships with women.

What are your thoughts on these brand-new singles, “Cooties” and “Love Birds,” by ScHoolboy Q, Devin Malik, and Lance Skiiiwalker? Are these the stronger releases compared to the rest of the BLUE LIPS teasers, why or why not? Is this going to be the best TDE album release of 2024? Do you think he should stop dropping songs with the album only about a week and half away? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.

Quotable Lyrics From “Cooties”:

The scars on the back of me healed
Why God blessed me? I never deserved it (Nah)
Followed my purpose
They put the blunts down, I opened the curtains
Shine on me perfect, lottery purchase
N****, I can vacay here

Kodak Black Drops Some Crazy Bars On “Shampoo”

February 20, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kodak Black can either go really dark and serious or just plain goofy on a track at any given moment. One of his most iconic performances has to be on A Boogie Wit da Hoodie’s smash hit “Drowning” back in 2017. Who could really forget when the Florida rapper said, “I’m the s*** I’m fartin’, I don’t know how to potty /
Pull up in a ‘Rari, I’m in the Yo like Gotti.”

Well, he might have another signature moment on his latest single “Shampoo.” This Kodak track is quite the contrast in tone and sound compared to his previous single “11am In Malibu.” It saw him rap over Drake’s “8am in Charlotte” beat from For All The Dogs and diss Boosie Badazz. It was one of his best outings and it shows that Kodak is more than a mumble rapper to those who are in that camp.

Listen To “Shampoo” By Kodak Black

However, “Shampoo” just is not it. Unless you are into the funny bars on this thing, then have at it. While some of the lines made us genuinely laugh out loud, Kodak has stronger writing skills than this. Just look at the lyrics section below and tell us what you think. The beat itself is solid but run of the mill at the same time. Some people are making jokes in the comments section of the video, saying, “Drink a lot of coffee, now I gotta s*** again ……underrated line. IYKYK.”

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single, “Shampoo,” by Kodak Black? Is this one the best songs of his, why or why not? Do you like when he acts more goofy or serious on his songs and why?

Yeah, n****, MAC can’t suppress like the evidence

NBA YoungBoy’s Relentless Single Run Continues With “No Time”

February 20, 2024 by newhiphopnews

If you think NBA YoungBoy is going to slow down production any time soon, you would be sorely mistaken. The Baton Rouge, Louisiana rapper and singer seems to always have something on deck each week. Over the last three months the prolific artist has put out nine singles. But, it has been these last two weeks or so that we have seen him at his most eager.

In just the last week and change, NBA YoungBoy has put out two singles. While the tracks all feature similar lyrical content the production is at least slightly varied. “Closed Case” and “F*** N****s” sees him rap in his loud and yelping tone about violence. However, this latest one, “No Time,” takes a “softer” approach in NBA’s standards.

Listen To “No Time” By NBA YoungBoy

“No Time” has a familiar but nice message in the verses. It is all about protecting yourself from others who do not deserve your time. That is the most valuable thing everyone has, tangible or not, so YB is doing what he can to have as much as possible. Additionally, like all of his recent tracks and music videos, all of them are dominating the trending for music category on YouTube. Every track has over 1.4 million views and “No Time” is well on its way to eclipse one million.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single, “No Time,” by NBA YoungBoy? Is this the best of his recent singles run, why or why not? Does he need to drop an album at this point?

G Herbo Has A Fan-Favorite With “Get In Wit Me (Freestyle)”

February 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

G Herbo is currently dealing with the repercussions of wire fraud conspiracy and another count of making false statements to a federal official. The gritty Chicago rapper is in the midst of serving three years of probation. While it is not an ideal situation, he is “taking accountability” for his actions. “But you know just staying alone, staying the course, and a lot of money for sure. You feel what I’m saying? A lot of money to stay free. At the end of the day, I was taking accountability for a minor role in some s***,” he told Drink Champs.

To help get through this, Herbo is dropping some new music. Part of that output is the new freestyle below called “Get In Wit Me.” He also dropped a Valentine’s Day-themed single “My Baby.” Both of them are available on YouTube only.

Listen To “Get In Wit Me (Freestyle)” By G Herbo

“Get In Wit Me” continues to pick up a lot of traction amongst G Herbo’s fan base. It is already up to over 957,000 views, good enough for number eight on trending for music page. This is an interpolation of sorts of Bossman DLow’s song of the same name. That track is also blowing up on the same platform with over 750,000 plays and number two on trending. While this is a great look for G Herbo, he is not going to be stopping there in 2024. He revealed to TMZ that a mixtape called Best Rapper Alive is in the works.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single, “Get In Wit Me (Freestyle),” by G Herbo? Do you think this will land on his upcoming mixtape Best Rapper Alive?

F*** some shoes, you buy a Glock 40 with a switch for twelve-fifty
Whenever I need ain’t assistance, all I gotta do is call up sixty

Lil Tjay Is Keeping His Eyes On The Prize With “Good Life”

February 16, 2024 by newhiphopnews

New York rapper and auto-crooner Lil Tjay is someone who like to stay true to his style. He likes to melodically rap over glistening trap beats most of the time. Tjay also likes to thrown in piano loops into his mixes as well. Just listen to his previous single “Told Ya.” Today, Lil Tjay is following that up with a similar vibe on “Good Life.”

The 22-year-old’s last two songs have been more deeper songs that have a theme of resiliency. This is nothing new for Lil Tjay, but he usually delivers some passable material. “Good Life” is another one of those instances. The chorus, which you can see below, is a telling sign of what the verses will be focusing on.

Listen To “Good Life” By Lil Tjay

On top of the piano weaving in and out we mentioned, there are also some slight guitar strings being plucked. Both complement the bars that Tjay is providing about making the smart decisions to live a “Good Life.” There are also some violent threats thrown in too. “Switches, them buttons right here, got them things on us / How you feelin’? Come pull up and bang on us.” All in all, it is another solid listen. His fans are certainly loving it on YouTube right now with over 784,000 views.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single, “Good Life,” by Lil Tjay? Should he drop a project this year after hearing his two recent tracks?

Wiz Khalifa Presents His Take On 310babii’s Viral Hit “Soak City” With A Freestyle

January 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Freestyles have been a major part of hip-hop’s history. While they are mainly lyrical exercises and are not really viewed as songs per se, they can feel that way sometimes. That has been the case for Wiz Khalifa as of late. The always-high rapper with roots in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, recently put out a little vibe over Veeze’s “Not A Drill.” What Wiz has been doing as of late is taking up-and-coming rappers’ big hits and bringing his bars to the table. Veeze inevitably caught wind of the remix and he was extremely thankful for the shout-out from the veteran.

Wiz posted on his Instagram that he had uploaded it to YouTube last week and Veeze commented on it. “Mad love big bro ” Fans of Khalifa are enjoying that one because of the throwback vibes he is giving off in his rap style. It is understandable for sure, as that was when he was at the peak of his powers, back in the early 2010 decade.

Listen To “Soak City Freestyle” By Wiz Khalifa

Now, the 36-year-old is back to rap over 310babii’s viral “Soak City.” The single dropped back in the summer of 2023. But, lately, the song has been picking up steam. On Spotify, the track has over 56 million streams. It has helped 310 gain a bit of a following and he currently has over 5.5 million monthly listeners. Wiz brings a rollercoaster-like flow that goes up and down and just sounds good. It fits the fast-paced piano beat to a tee and it may be the better of the two freestyles.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single, “Soak City Freestyle,” by Wiz Khalifa? Is this the best freestyle of the two, why or why not? Do you think a new album is coming at some point this year? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this.

Babyface Ray Spits Over Trippy Beat On “Waymo Freestyle”

January 16, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Babyface Ray is a sneaky underrated talent who hails from the crowded scene of Detroit Michigan. We say that because there are so many who attract a lot of attention from the media and fans. Babyface has a more lowkey style compared to artists like Eminem, Danny Brown, Big Sean, and others. If you want to size him up to some of the more recent talents, Veeze and Luh Tyler share similarities. Raspy and conversation-like flows with more minimal production. Whether those two names would like to thank Babyface for his influence remains to be seen.

But, Ray clearly started some movement when he began rapping back in 2014. As we said though, he does not seem to get the recognition for his contributions. Maybe this could be a big year for him. 2023 was a busy one for him, though, with several singles and his album, Summer’s Mine. In 2024, he has gotten off to a quick start as well.

Listen To “Waymo Freestyle” By Babyface Ray

On January 5, Babyface Ray teamed up with FreshDuzit and Lulboobie on “Wavy Navy.” Now, he is delivering his first solo track of 2024 with “Waymo Freestyle.” Currently, you can only find it on YouTube, but it is gaining some traction already. Ray is delivering bars in his typical style over a head-nodding beat with wavy synths. This is a great headphone song to hear all of the sounds meshing perfectly together. Give it a spin with the link above.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new song, “Waymo Freestyle,” by Babyface Ray? Is this one of his best singles ever, why or why not? Does he deserve more credit for shaping Detroit’s rap scene? Does he need to drop an album this year, or could you wait another 12 months? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your hottest takes in the comments section below. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Babyface Ray.
