New Hip Hop News

This is an anticipated project that has been a long time coming, but a few setbacks have kept it from reaching fans. Birdman recently surprised the world by announcing that he and NBA YoungBoy would be dropping their joint mixtape, From the Bayou. The YMCMB icon has long praised YoungBoy and teased that they were continuing their working relationship. Now, the pair have shared their 13-track mixtape after a previous pump-fake release.

Earlier this year, Birdman stated that he believed YoungBoy would become “the biggest rapper ever” while visiting the Big Facts Podcast. “Ain’t no n*gga gone be bigger than NBA YoungBoy, numbers don’t lie, he’s the biggest YouTube artist and he behind the wall,” said Birdman. This was, of course, before YoungBoy’s YouTube was wiped clean. He believes that once YoungBoy gets over this season of personal issues, he’ll be poised for a mainstream takeover.

February will mark two years since we received A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie’s Artist 2.0, and fans have been awaiting his follow-up. There has been much talk about A Boogie vs. Artist, an album that seemed to be slated for arrival this month, but instead, on Friday (December 10), the New York rapper gave fans his EP, B4 AVA. The project acts as a prequel to his anticipated forthcoming effort.

On Instagram, A Boogie declared that he’s “back” with this seven-track drop that includes just one lone feature from Lil Durk on the bonus track “24 Hours.” A Boogie has been rather hush-hush in recent months regarding what we can expect from A Boogie vs. Artist, but B4 AVA gives us a good look at the direction of the record. We’ll keep you updated on what he has next, but for now, stream B4 AVA and share your thoughts.

He knows how to set and execute a theme well, and Tory Lanez does not disappoint on his latest, Alone At Prom. The rapper-singer has been teasing the arrival of his latest project for weeks as he’s carefully revealed sneak peeks of the record that pays homage to the 1980s. Although Lanez has legal troubles that continue to haunt him, he has forged ahead with his career fervently, and his fans have stood by him along the way.

In order to execute Alone At Prom the way he visualized, Lanez created a character, Ashton Rain, who acts as an alter ego of sorts.

“Ashton Rain is a mixture of Hall & Oates, Toto, Michael Jackson, Rick James and more,” said Lanez. “The music was so retro and nostalgic that the character had to be created and authenticated through film, picture and music video. Ashton Rain is today’s last hope of getting a full catalog now and later of pure pop, R&B, alternative and 80’s rock music and I’m excited for everyone to hear what I’ve poured my passion into with the Alone At Prom album.”

He’s called the album his best yet, and now fans will be able to judge for themselves. Rick Ross has maintained not only a successful career in the entertainment industry but outside of music, as well. The Florida icon is well-respected among his peers and penned hits that have become classics, and now Rozay has returned with another collection of tracks that are poised to take over the charts.

Juice was an impactful figure in the music world, especially among the younger generation of Hip Hop and Rap fans, and his loved ones have made sure that his legacy continues through his music.

Today, we’ve received Fighting Demons, an album that seemingly leans toward the inner workings of Juice WRLD’s mental and emotional state. He was always known to be an expressive and honest artist who laid out his thoughts and feelings on wax, and this record stays true to that narrative.
