Quavo & Rich The Kid Are The “Real Ones” On Our New Fire Emoji Playlist Update: Stream

March 9, 2024 by newhiphopnews

March is heating up fast, and our Fire Emoji playlist update is here to round up the best rap releases of the week. First up is Quavo and Rich The Kid with their new single “Real One,” which is a slightly familiar but mostly bouncy and fun banger that takes it back to their roots a little bit. Still, a woozy synth melody gives it a bit of a different flair compared to their other material, although the Rich Forever member is used to these pallets. They also provide some vocal dynamism with their deliveries and their flows that, while not perfect, give this track some pretty necessary and vibrant life.

Next up on Fire Emoji is, in our opinion, the best release of the week: MIKE and Tony Seltzer’s collaborative album Pinball. It’s a short but very sweet collection of sometimes moody, mostly visceral, always hard, and consistently compelling rap songs that play in a few different sounds and styles. Earl Sweatshirt and Tony Shhnow help out on “On God,” which is one of the most ethereal cuts here. Meanwhile, the Burning Desire MC flows effortlessly and pays homage to UGK on the fast-paced and unbelievably mood-lifting “Underground Kingz.”

HNHH Fire Emoji Playlist: Stream

As far as other hot singles this week, we wanted to shout out the new team-up between Russ and DJ Premier, “Work This Out.” It’s a bit slower and moodier of a beat than what fans might expect from the legendary beatsmith, but it’s still a well-constructed and evolutionary sample flip and build from him. As for the Atlanta lyricist, he actually takes a more melodic and melancholy approach on this song, so it’s great to hear how both parties here are moving a bit out of their comfort zones here. Well, the rapper’s always been great with melodies and displayed this side of him, but it’s not the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Preemo, which is welcome.

Finally, we wanted to highlight two great new singles from Kenny Mason, “JUMPIN IN” and “US.” He continues to show why he’s one of the more consistent artists in the game today that comes through with grounded and gritty bars and minimally lush production. Let us know in the comments what your favorite Fire Emoji release was this week, as well as what we missed. Check out the playlist above and, as always, stick around on HNHH for the latest great music drops around the clock.

Chrisean Rock & Blueface’s Son Whines In New Clip, Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Allegations Continue

March 9, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Chrisean Rock is certainly no stranger to criticism, but as of late, social media users’ accusations have become far more serious than usual. The Baddies star welcomed her first child last year with her on and off again partner Blueface. Since then, she’s frequently shared sweet photos and videos of the little one, though not everyone’s reactions have been positive.

Today, for example, she posted an adorable clip of the two of them spending some quality time together. While plenty of commenters are simply doting over the infant, others are expressing concern. Various users suspect that Chrisean Jr.’s cry sounds abnormal, and are using that to back up ongoing accusations that his mother drank alcohol during her pregnancy.

“She needs to take him to be evaluated asap,” one critical commenter writes. “I’m sick of people defending her!! She is the reason why her son has disabilities,” another harsh user alleges. Fortunately, Chrisean Rock does have someone in her corner, Blueface’s mother Karlissa Saffold. She took to the comments section of Hollywood Unlocked to weigh in on the post. Saffold notes that despite her previous comments about Chrisean Jr., he’s still adorable.

“Now here come the devils children saying I said his eyes far apart like I was saying they wasn’t cute. I don’t care what I said or how you took it. I said kizz his azz and mines too,” she wrote. “That’s right show him off!! Show him he’s loved regardless of what they say. Heyyyy Lil Chrisean we love you man!!!” What do you think of Chrisean Rock’s latest video of her son? What about the reality star continuing to be accused of giving her little one a disability? Have social media users gone too far? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

JELEEL! Switches Up His Sound “SEE ME NOW!”

March 9, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Nigerian American rapper JELEEL! is one of the more energetic artist’s in hip-hop. His sound is perfect for big parties and ragers of all sorts. Last year saw him return after a four-year album hiatus with REAL RAW! last May. For 2024, he has already put out “I LOOK GOOD!,” which delivers his trademark zany cadence. Now, JELEEL! is back with a follow-up “SEE ME NOW!”

While the Rhode Island native does like to use auto tune in his music, it is used to greater effect here. It is all over the repetitive chorus. However, we cannot deny that it is does have a nice melody to it. Additionally, JELEEL! is going into his high-pitched singing cadence instead of his husky rapping delivery.

Listen To “SEE ME NOW!” By JELEEL!

While it does not sound bad, it is hard to ignore that he sounds like Tory Lanez when he goes into his R&B bag. Again though, it is a vibey tune that is not bad by any means. It just is not as original as his other material. But be sure to support it by checking out the video above.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single, “SEE ME NOW!,” by JELEEL!? Is this one of his better songs as of late, why or why not? Is REAL RAW! still in your rotation, why or why not? If so, what songs are you still bumping from it? What is your favorite element of the track and why? Do you think an album is on the way from him? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding JELEEL! Finally, stay with us for the most informative song posts throughout the week.

Quotable Lyrics:

Left me all alone when it’s dark out
Watch out, karma come like a monster
Thought you was my girl, you imposter
I just figured it out, you’re the problem
I woke up, these haters all f****d up ’cause of me, ’cause of me
I’m the one, creation, see me now, I’m a beast, I’m a beast

Usher, Busta Rhymes & Teyana Taylor Join Star-Studded Pre-Oscars Bash

March 9, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The Academy Awards are almost upon us, and a slew of A-list celebrities chose to party in Hollywood ahead of Sunday night (March 10). Moreover, Usher, Busta Rhymes, and Teyana Taylor were among many in attendance for a pre-Oscars bash at the “Godfather” mansion in Beverly Hills on Friday night (March 8) for the William Morris Endeavor talent agency. Others that were there included John Legend, Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, and many more. Of course, as one of the entertainment industry’s biggest nights that encompasses a lot of different areas of it, it’s no surprise that many hip-hop artists have won big at the ceremony before.

While there’s not much of that this year, it will still be interesting to see if Oppenheimer ends up sweeping or if there will be some surprise picks. But Teyana Taylor is definitely one who could win big at the Oscars one day, as her creative strides extend far beyond just music. She is very prolific and beloved in the film industry, and is actually shooting a movie with Leonardo DiCaprio at press time. Hopefully the multi-hyphenate singer will one day grace that stage and accept the result of yet another big step in her trajectory.

Pre-Oscars Party At The Beverly Estate: Watch Clips

As for Usher, his big Super Bowl halftime show might win him an Emmy in one of the televised performance categories, but we don’t know how he would fare at the Oscars. Of course, he’s as good as writing, performing, and recording songs as ever, so we’re sure that he could get a nomination in the music categories one day. If you need contemporary proof of that, look no further than the Dallas native’s recently expanded album COMING HOME. Then try to tell anyone that he doesn’t at least have the potential to get that little golden statue for a big movie song or soundtrack.

Meanwhile, Busta Rhymes’ talent warrants all the awards in the world, and whatever he does with his career will be a treat. In fact, he just announced that his rap group, Flipmode Squad, will drop their first new album in over twenty years. Let’s see whether the Oscars this Sunday results in any more comeback announcements. For more news and the latest curious updates on the crossover between pop culture, R&B, and rap, come back to HNHH.

Sam Kerr Hailed As “National Hero” In Australia As Full Details Of Her Racial Harassment Case Emerge

March 9, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Chelsea and Australia soccer player Sam Kerr is being hailed as a “national hero” by many Australians as the full details of the racial harassment charge she is facing in the United Kingdom have emerged. Kerr was charged with “racially harassing a police officer” during a “dispute about a taxi fare”. However, the notoriously rowdy Australians have found a new love for the national team captain as it turned out that she had called a police officer a “stupid white b-stard” after vomiting in the back of a taxi.

In Australia, at least three senior politicians have spoken out in defense of Kerr. Furthermore, a petition has been started to put Kerr’s likeness on a banknote. Kerr pled not guilty to the charge earlier this week. Next month, Kerr’s legal team will seek to have the charge thrown out, citing “abuse of process”. If they are unsuccessful, Kerr’s case will go to trial next year.

Who Is Sam Kerr?

Sam Kerr will eventually retire as one of the greatest soccer players of all time. Kerr began her career in her home nation of Australia, quickly becoming one of the best players in the Women’s A-League. In 2013, she began playing year-round, joining American teams during the Australian offseason. Additionally, she would begin playing for the Australian national team at just 15 years old during just her second year of senior professional soccer.

In 2020, Kerr made a huge move to English powerhouse Chelsea, where she has played full-time ever since. She has scored 99 goals in 123 matches for the perennial English champions. Meanwhile, on the international stage, she has 69 goals in 128 appearances for Australia. However, she is currently indefinitely sidelined with an ACL tear she suffered in early January while training with the national team in Morocco. Australia still managed to qualify for the Olympics without Kerr. However, they may struggle to replicate their 4th place finish from the 2020 Games in Toyko.

Bad Bunny Is Reportedly Suing A Fan For Sharing Footage Of His ‘Most Wanted Tour’ To YouTube

March 9, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Bad Bunny has had enough of his naughty fans. As the “Baticano” rapper travels the globe for his Most Wanted Tour, he’s pulling out all his showman tricks (including taking to the stage on horseback). However, nothing stays a secret long, with concertgoers armed with smartphones ready to capture every moment.

While he’s okay with shared aspects of his concerts, such as the setlist, Bad Bunny wants everything else under wraps for ticketholders to enjoy. According to TMZ, Bad Bunny is willing to ride his beliefs all the way to the courthouse. On March 8, the outlet revealed that Bad Bunny has reportedly sued one fan for posting footage of his Most Wanted Tour on YouTube.

In the documents, defendant Eric Guillermo Madronal Garrone is accused of sharing entire song performance clips on his channel, MADforliveMUSIC (which has over 30,000+ subscribers). Bad Bunny’s legal team alleges that after Garrone attended the show on February 21 in Salt Lake City, Utah, several full-length videos were posted onto the channel, which, in their eyes, could discourage viewers from purchasing tickets to the show.

Referring to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), Bad Bunny’s team contacted YouTube to have the videos takedown using their standard strike-down system, where users alert the platform of copyright infringement. Bad Bunny’s team alleges Garrone filed a counterclaim, stating his right to the footage as the capturer. Although that could be right, ultimately, the intellectual property rights remain with the artist in these cases. This is often disclosed in the fine print on many ticketing system servers.

However, Garrone’s counterclaims were allegedly successful as the video reappeared on his account. As of today (March 9), only one clip can publicly be viewed. Sources say the videos reappearing on the channel after the DMCA claims were the catalyst for the lawsuit.

Eric Guillermo Madronal Garrone has not issued a public statement regarding the matter.

Kanye West & Ty Dolla Sign’s “CARNIVAL” Expected To Go No. 1 This Week

March 9, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The biggest track off of Ye and Ty Dolla $ign’s VULTURES 1 is still building up a lot of momentum. Moreover, according to Talk of the Charts, “CARNIVAL,” also featuring Rich The Kid and Playboi Carti, is expected to go No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 this week a little less than a month after its initial release. While it hasn’t been able to crack that top spot so far, the song still has a lot of social media pushing behind it and has been ranking high on pretty much every applicable commercial metric. These are all just predictions that aren’t coming straight from Billboard, but with that grain of salt in mind, it would be a pretty interesting cinch for the duo.

For example, if “CARNIVAL” goes number one, then Ye would become the first hip-hop artist to reach the top of the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart in three separate decades. His last No. 1 was 2011’s “E.T.” with Katy Perry, and “CARNIVAL” would be his fifth chart-topper alongside “Gold Digger,” “Slow Jamz,” and “Stronger.” As for Ty, it would be his second No. 1, and it would be Rich The Kid and Playboi Carti’s first. All this is pretty promising ahead of the prompt release of VULTURES 2 sometime… soon… ish.

“CARNIVAL” Might Go No. 1 Ahead Of VULTURES 2‘s Release

Kanye West & Ty Dolla $ign‘s “CARNIVAL” is predicted to reach #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 with the biggest U.S. streaming week for a 2024 single. It would become Kanye West‘s fifth #1 (first in nearly 13 years), Ty Dolla $ign‘s second, & @richthekid and Playboi Carti’s first. pic.twitter.com/zyUsJqO4zC

— Talk of the Charts (@talkofthecharts) March 9, 2024

What’s more is that, for folks who liked King Vamp on “CARNIVAL,” it looks like there will be plenty more where that came from. Playboi Carti appears on various tracks that Ye and Ty Dolla Sign featured during their recent VULTURES 2 listening party, so it looks like they’re working with a lot of the same collaborators as the first installment. While this might disappoint some fans, these albums are part of a series. As such, it’s no surprise that they feel connected like this, albeit like retreads. But we can’t say for sure until the rest of them actually drop.

Meanwhile, given that Rich The Kid hopped on a car to sing this song with fans at the Italy listening event, it’s clear that this song really resonated with the artists and with the fans in every sense of the word. Do you think that it will cinch a No. 1? Drop your thoughts down in the comments section below. Also, stay up to date on HNHH for the latest news and updates on all things Vultures.
