New Hip Hop News

J. Cole, Bas, and Lil Tjay previously connected for the “song of the summer,” a collaboration originally teased at the beginning of June. At the time, it was revealed that the stacked track would come complete with a music video, which found the trio connecting in Tjay’s hometown of The Bronx. 

Now, we’ve officially received a proper release date for the upcoming single, as well as an intriguing title: “The Jackie.” Dreamville’s official Instagram page shared an extensive snippet, which highlights fragments of J. Cole’s chorus and Lil Tjay’s verse. “You see the drop top, bitch stop playing with me,” sings Cole, in his melodic bag. “She said she want to let the waves smash down on me, she want to let the waves splash down on me.”

Though we have yet to catch a glimpse of Cole and Bas’ actual verses (though we heard the former doing the chorus, it’s unclear as to whether or not he’ll be rapping on this one), Tjay’s is certainly sounding promising. “I’m young and I’m bossed up,” he raps. “That’s the difference don’t let it get crossed up / I was seventeen coming through Porsche’d up.”

Between Cole’s oceanic imagery and the steel-drum-driven production, perhaps we really are about to receive a bonafide summer smash. Check out the latest snippet of “The Jackie” below, and look for the full track to arrive this coming Friday, July 9th. Are you excited for this one?

Cardi B is always a mood. With her tattoos fully visible, the rapper proved just that when she posted a video of herself twerking in nothing but a gold string bikini, after spending the Fourth of July in sheer leopard-print dress. Longtime followers of Offset’s better half know that Cardi is no stranger to putting her comical personality on display, just as much as her assets.

Two days earlier, Cardi B caught our collective attention when she posted a clip of herself stepping out in L.A. Before she left her residence to turn up for Fourth of July, she let out a disclaimer on Instagram about the potential food options available at California bbqs. “California, I’m coming to one of yall barbecues today, I ain’t stay home today. I’m not with them vegan burgers…” the “Big Paper” rapper told her followers.

Cardi B has also been in the news following her and Offset’s big announcement at this year’s BET Awards. The soon-to-be second-time mother recently gave us a glimpse at her mother-daughter dynamic too, when she had a little (or long, rather) laugh at her daughter Kulture’s expense. 

After revealing the pregnancy news at June’s BET Awards ceremony, Cardi B and Offset posted a number of portraits to Instagram from a pregnancy photoshoot that the growing family had taken in celebration of Kulture’s new sibling. 

Looks like Cardi has a lot to celebrate nowadays, so she should definitely twerk away. Check out the short clip below.

Riding the high of his new viral hit “Rick & Morty,” Soulja Boy recently sat down to chop it up with Gillie Da Kid and Wallo on Milllion Dollaz Worth Of Game. During the conversation, Soulja took a moment to speak on some of his memorable studio sessions, highlighting his experiences working with Kanye West, 50 Cent, and Diddy. 

“Probably Kanye, 50, and Diddy,” recalls Soulja. “When we locked in, that shit was just different. Especially Kanye. When he making music, that shit is different. I was like damn. But that made me a better artist too. He didn’t even know it. I just go off creativity. He really be in there like I need it to sound like this, I need you to do this, I need you to do that. I’m like bro, what the fuck.”

“But that made me better as an artist, as a producer,” he continues. “When I’m mixing and recording, I’m like, I can do that shit like Kanye. I can do that shit like 50. They helped me get better too.”

When Gillie asks specifically about his session with Diddy, Soulja Boy has nothing but praise for the mogul. “That’s Puff, bro!” says Soulja. “I just be learning when we be in a session. We be building though, cause I be producing too. But when I be listening to what he be making, he’s on a whole other level when it comes to creating. I just be soaking up game. But he be soaking up game too, cause he be like I like this, I want you to make this beat for me.” 

Gillie notes the difference between younger artists and older producers, with the former operating more on impulse and excitement — a formula that often leads to success. Soulja agrees with the assessment. “That’s how I’m feeling about a lot of songs,” he continues. “The best songs is when we were just having fun…I got a song like that called ‘Rick & Morty,” it’s going viral right now as we speak with millions of plays. I was literally bullshittin’ and everybody know it. But the shit came out hard though!”
