New Hip Hop News

A week after hinting at her Fantasea 2 for the thousandth time this past decade, Azealia Banks has released a cover for her latest single, “Fuck Him All Night.”

Titled in reference to Kanye West, the Harlem rapper has surely had an interesting journey throughout the headlines when it comes to mentioning the guy.

Her nails spell out the man’s name on this cover, one that boasts art reminiscent of countless 70s and 80s albums, showing their pants around the crotch area and whatnot. 

According to her most recent post in regards to releasing a new single, she mentioned the date July 9th. Though not much official word on that since The Harlem rapper’s most recent track, “Black Madonna,” dropped in May and was as telling as it gets of what she’s still capable of, so we’re looking forward to hearing her braggadocious stylings once again.

Aside from music, Banks’ name has not been in the news too often as of late, which has always proved to be a rarity for her, although she accredits this new and improved lifestyle of her’s to hiring a new female manager and sipping on a bunch of green juice. Realistically, this sounds like it would be beneficial for anybody.

Let us know if you’re looking forward to hearing “Fuck Him All Night” on July 9.

It seems Dustin Poirier and Conor McGregor can’t stay away from each other– with their third UFC fight (they are tied 1-1) just days away and a long history of internet beef. Both fighters have remained steadfast about their superiority over each other, though Poirier may be giving one too many advantages to McGregor in advance of their Saturday fight. When a confident Poirier spoke to ESPN this week, he exposed his weaknesses and offered the ways McGregor could take advantage of them and come out on top– nonchalant as he divulged McGregor’s winning strategies. 

“If I was him, I would try to touch me early and keep me out of rhythm because if this thing starts to blossom into a fight in the second, third and fourth [rounds] and we start hurting in there, start having to grind it out, start getting a rhythm then I win that fight 10 out of 10 times,”  Poirier told ESPN. This can’t be new information for McGregor, who has fought Poirier twice already and lost once, though Poirier’s openness carries a lot of confidence.

The aggressive McGregor has donned his confidence before the fight as well, tweeting out: “3 fights against me for any man is an early grave. God bless” just last week. 

Despite the increasing tensions, Poirier went out of his way to praise McGregor in that same ESPN interview. “He’s not doing this for money… He’s doing this for pride, for respect, to prove that he’s still an important piece of this 155lbs division. That’s a dangerous man.” Clearly, Saturday night’s fight will not be an easy win for either fighter.

Which UFC star do you think will come out on top? Let us know.

As one of hip-hop’s most consistent veterans, Busta Rhymes has much to celebrate. Not only did he turn his life around following a near-death experience with polyps, but he also delivered one of the best albums of his career with Extinction Level Event 2: The Wrath Of God. 

With the project’s one-year anniversary steadily creeping up, Busta has been living it up to the fullest alongside several of his peers, having recently connected with his “Pass The Coivoissier” collaborator Diddy and Bryson Tiller for a hip-hop boy’s night. 

Busta made sure to share a few snapshots from the occasion on his Instagram page. “As we Celebrate Life, We hear y’all talking,” captions Busta, alongside a slideshow of star-studded images. “Stay tuned.” Lavish though their surroundings may be, at the end of the day, not even hip-hop royalty are above taking swigs from the everyman’s universal goblet — the red-plastic cup.

In another post, Busta also revealed that he had connected with his former collaborator Chris Brown, with whom he worked on the dexterous posse cut “Look At Me Now.” While it’s unclear as to whether or not the pair intend on connecting for another track, it’s evident that Busta values his longstanding relationship with the r&b superstar. “The Dragon x @chrisbrownofficial It’s been a long time,” captions Busta. “Just know.”

If one didn’t know any better, one might think that Busta is actively working on another project — though perhaps it’s too early to tell. Either way, it’s wholesome to see the Flipmode legend enjoying himself to the fullest, so show some love to The Dragon in the comments below. 

When it comes to hip-hop success stories, there are few who rival the legendary Diddy. Having become synonymous with hard work, dedication, and entrepreneurial vision, Diddy recently made it a point to change his name to “Love,” emphasizing the importance of spreading exactly that. That’s not to suggest that Diddy has gone full pacifist, however; lest we forget that he recently declared himself king of Los Angeles, New York, and Miami, a claim that sparked grumblings from those actively representing such territory. 

Suffice it to say, Puff is a larger-than-life figure, one who seems to revel in the zaniest of antics. Most recently, the mogul found himself inspired to share a few motivational words, taking to Instagram to spur his followers into action. Standing against the picturesque backdrop of the ocean, Diddy approaches the camera with a massive chunk of mango in hand.

“You can be whoever you want,” says Diddy. “You can be eating mango too, with the ocean as your backyard. I ain’t special. I just want it bad.” He takes a tentative bite of mango. “I will not allow myself to not have mango.” A far more emphatic bite of mango. “I hustle hard.” Alas, his next bit of advice is unintelligible, though his climactic leap into the drink leaves little to the imagination. 

“Don’t allow yourself to not have mangos and the ocean as your backyard!” he captions, wise words from one of hip-hop’s most accomplished icons.
