6ix9ine Makes Disrespectful King Von Reference After Lil Reese Shooting

by

Earlier today, it was reported that Chicago artist Lil Reese was shot during a shootout in a parking garage. As it stands, two men are in critical condition while another man is in serious condition. It is unknown which condition Lil Reese is currently in, however, all three men who were shot are now in the hospital. According to reports, Lil Reese and a group of men were allegedly shooting at each other which ultimately led to the injuries.

Details surrounding the incident remain scarce although that hasn’t stopped some people from being disrespectful. After DJ Akademiks posted the news on his Instagram page, 6ix9ine decided to scurry into the picture by making a comment that relates back to the King Von shooting. “Lil Tim out here wildin,” 6ix9ine wrote. Of course, this is a reference to Lul Tim who was arrested for his alleged involvement in Von’s death.

6ix9ine and Lil Reese have exchanged words in the past and when it comes to Chicago artists, 6ix9ine has always played the role of an antagonist. After leaving prison, 6ix9ine even went on a disrespectful tour of Chicago, and many in the city have been upset at the blatant disrespect.

Reese’s current situation is a serious one, and it should be treated as such. Details continue to come out, so stay tuned to HNHH as we will be sure to keep you informed.

Lil Baby And Lil Durk Will Delay Their ‘Voice Of The Heroes’ Album Out Of Respect To DMX

by
YouTube

Lil Baby and Lil Durk both had a strong grasp on the hip-hop world in 2020. The former can credit this success to his sophomore album, My Turn, which turned out the be one of the year’s most-streamed albums, while the latter put forth two impressive projects with Just Cause Y’all Waited 2 and The Voice to reach a new level of popularity. Now, together Baby and Durk will make the most of their talents on their upcoming joint album, Voice Of The Heroes. While the effort was due for a May 28 release date, the duo reportedly chose to delay it in respect to DMX.

The move will not have Voice Of The Heroes compete with DMX’s posthumous album, Exodus, which will be released on the 28th. So, in order to allow the late rapper to have a day of his own for the project, Baby and Durk opted to push their joint album back. According to HipHopDX, the news about the delay was shared by Swizz Beatz during an album listening session for Exodus, which was held in partnership with Universal Music Group. It’s unknown when Voice Of The Heroes will be released, but hopefully, listeners won’t have to wait too long to get their hands on it.

Back in March, Baby spoke about the joint project during an interview with MTV News. “God damn, that’s the new one. We coming. Me and [Lil] Durk dropping an album, fa sho,” he said. “When it comes to that street sh*t, the streets is like, we the voices and the heroes of this sh*t. You know what I’m saying? Kids look at us like heroes. I know they look at me like one and [Lil] Durk, too. That n**** been holding it down for a minute.”

Skrillex Is Back Alongside Swae Lee & Siiickbrain For New Song “Too Bizarre”

by

Skrillex started his career in the screamo/punk scenes and he eventually made his way to Dubstep where he found the vast majority of his success. The artist is an international sensation and just a few days ago, he started his comeback with a song called “Butterflies.” Now, Skrillex is back with yet another effort, this time featuring the likes of Swae Lee and Siiickbrain.

This song seems to go back to Skrillex’s emo and punk days as we are met with some crunch palm-muted guitar riffs and tight drums. Swae Lee carries the track with his vocal melodies and in the video, he goes all-in with the punk rock look. There are some screamed vocals at times and these are handled by Siiickbrain who certainly brings a unique twist to the track.

Let us know what you think of this combination, in the comments below.

Quotable Lyrics:

I can see you tomorrow (Tomorrow)
I can see you on and on (And on)
I’ve been drinkin’ all morning long (Hey, [?])
And I’m the one that you should done ([?])
Should we just call it off?
You were shinin’ and I saw you from afar (So far, far, far)

Valee Links Up With MVW For Classic Musical-Inspired “Still Do”

by

Classical composer Michael Vincent Waller is looking to embrace the sounds of hip-hop and soon, he will be dropping a project called Classic$ which will feature a plethora of hip-hop-inspired songs with a classic twist. He has already dropped a lead single called “Survey Says” and on Friday, he teamed up with Valee and producer Lex Luger for a new song dubbed “Still Do.”

“My core intention on Classic$ is to get classical music into hip-hop without dissolving either. It’s about allowing the production and samples to breathe organically,” Waller said according to Hype Magazine. “We’re not simply trying to add orchestral heavy strings. Instead, we’re relying on dark and episodic chamberal moments, which fit naturally. I hope people are like, ‘I didn’t know classical music could be so funky. I can’t believe trap is so sensuous and beautiful.’”

The song starts out with some nice piano lines and strings, before transitioning into some trap-inspired production that sees Valee offering up his signature flows and sound. Overall, this track makes for a unique blend of styles and it will be interesting to see how Waller continues this progression on his upcoming EP.

Quotable Lyrics:

I just spent two racks, Gucci flip-flopp-ing me
In a week, I spend twenty Gs
Bitch unique, I feed her Vegemites
All dat ice, we puttin’ dat ice with tea

Freddie Gibbs Heads To DR On Chiki El De La Vaina’s “Entrégala”

by

There’s really no arguing that Freddie Gibbs is among the best rappers in the game right now. While many fans have known that for years, the rest of the world has been catching up in recent times, largely due to the Grammy nomination he received for Best Rap Album. He’s one of the few rappers in the game that can work with people like Madlib and Alchemist as easily as Young Chop and Mike Will Made-It (who apparently contributed to his forthcoming album).

Outside of hip-hop, Freddie Gibbs has dabbled with many different sounds with Dembow being the latest genre of music that he’s dived into. The rapper connected with Dominican rapper Chika El De La Vaina for their new collaboration, “Entrégala.” The different rhythm proves to be no challenge for Gibbs who complements the track with his rapid flow.

Last year, Freddie Gibbs teamed up with Toxic Crow on “No Pueden.”

Quotable Lyrics
I fucked the hoe but never hit her, I ain’t stressin’ her
I’m worldwide, I got bitches out in Lebanon
I can put your hoe up for the holidays
