New Hip Hop News

Taleban Dooda is an artist coming straight out of Tampa Bay, Florida and the rapper is someone who likes to represent his city. Of course, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers recently won the Super Bowl and after the championship game, he decided to shoot a music video with up-and-coming star 42 Dugg. The result was a brand new track called “Trappin’ Ain’t Dead” which provides some high-octane youthful energy.

The track begins with a menacing hook from Taleban Dooda who then delivers an equally energetic verse. From there, the track transitions over to 42 Dugg who provides his unique sound to the song. Overall, this is a song you would come to expect from the two and the final product is something that many young fans will enjoy.

You can stream the track, below.

Quotable Lyrics:

Trappin’ ain’t dead, you lookin’ scamped out (You lookin’ scamped out)
Bitch, you ain’t ever seen a drum, bring them grams out (Bring them grams out)
My lil’ brother had that jam, we had to bang him out (We had to bang him out)
Wrecker was cleaner than a bitch, but he a felon now (He a felon now)

Is it officially Drake season yet? I guess there’s rarely been a season that Drake hasn’t claimed as his own, even if it’s just through a string of features that dominate airwaves. On Friday, the rapper delivered the sequel to 2018’s Scary Hours, the EP that produced his hit record “God’s Plan” ahead of the release of Scorpion. Similarly, the three-song pack is a glimpse into what we can expect to see from Drake on his forthcoming effort, Certified Lover Boy.

A video for “What’s Next,” which leaked last weekend, arrived with Scary Hours 2 that also included a stand-out collaboration with Rick Ross on “Lemon Pepper Freestyle.” But, the song that’s likely headed to every strip club DJ’s folder and will rattle through the spring is Drake and Lil Baby’s collaboration on “Wants And Needs.” The two rappers look at their hedonistic ways and success as rappers and entrepreneurs. Drake even makes a reference to his arch-nemesis Kanye West at one point in his verse, admitting, “I need me some Jesus.” 

Baby’s continuing to climb the ranks of rap royalty with each release yet he still maintains a hunger in his belly when he steps to the mic. Whatever Baby ended up charging for his verse (if he did at all) was definitely worth every single dollar. “I’m droppin’ hit after hit, I’m just chillin’ /But I’ll send a hit while I chill with my children,” he raps on his verse. 

What’s the verdict on “Wants And Needs”? Sound off in the comments below. 

Quotable Lyrics
I’m not a GOAT, but I fit the description
I like to pour, so I get the prescription
We walk around with them bands in our britches
This gun ain’t gon’ jam, when I blow, I ain’t missin’
I’m droppin’ hit after hit, I’m just chillin’
But I’ll send a hit while I chill with my children

Tyler, The Creator turns 30 years old today which means there is no better time to celebrate his growth and the strides he has made over the last decade. From his early days in Odd Future to his artistic evolution that led to albums like Flower Boy and Igor, Tyler has blossomed into a completely different artist. The jumping-off point for this change was Flower Boy where Tyler got personal about his sexuality, while also delivering undeniable bangers that contained tighter songwriting than his earlier efforts.

One of the best examples of this is the track “Ain’t Got Time” which serves as one of the harder tracks on the Flower Boy project. Here, we see Tyler flexing his deals with Converse, while also claiming that he has been kissing white boys since 2004. The subject matter is a stark contrast to his early years and it showcases an artist who is ready to move on from his edgy material and deliver something that is a tad more relatable and mature.

Let us know what your favorite Flower Boy song was, in the comments below.

Quotable Lyrics:

Boy, I need a Kleenex
How I got this far? Boy, I can’t believe it
That I got this car, so I took scenic
Passenger a white boy, look like River Phoenix
