JT Is More Than ‘Okay’ On Her Ultra Confident Single Ahead Of ‘City Cinderella’

by

JT has gone hard for “Okay,” her latest single that finds her bars going even harder. “I’m about to get super annoying promoting okay!” The Miami rapper admitted to her followers on X (formerly Twitter) ahead of the song’s release. “I want this song to GO!”

JT shouldn’t have to try too hard to convince people on “Okay,” considering the song oozes infectious confidence. “I’m pretty than a motherf*cker, hoes be looking okay,” she raps. “She think that she f*ckin’ with me, is this b*tch okay? / He said he ain’t f*ckin’ around, I look at him like, ‘Okay’ / I used to down bad, but now a b*tch okay.”

The City Girls star is currently on her first headlining solo US tour, with her next show set for Friday, April 26, at The Harbor in New York, New York.

“The Harbor said I can go all night,” JT posted on Thursday night, April 25. “Safe to say WE OUTSIDE tomorrow & that’s on OKAY!!!”

“Okay” follows “No Bars” and “Sideways” as JT’s solo releases — all generating anticipation for her forthcoming solo project City Cinderella.

The project is named after JT’s fund “uplifting local partners who work tirelessly to ensure that every girl who dreams of going to prom can do so in a dress that makes her feel like royalty” because “economic barriers should not prevent any high school girl from experiencing the joy and self-confidence that comes with feeling beautiful on of the most memorable nights,” as detailed on the campaign’s official website.

In other words, JT is trying to make as many people as possible feel as good as she does in “Okay.”

Normani And Gunna Make Sultry Plans On ‘1:59,’ Normani’s Lead Single From ‘Dopamine’

by

Normani has given new meaning to long-awaited. Her fans have been waiting for her debut full-length studio album for five-plus years, and she finally announced Dopamine alongside its cover art in February. By late March, an X (formerly Twitter) user circled back with Normani about the silence since her album announcement, to which Normani replied that she’d address the matter the following day, and she did — announcing the lead single “1:59” featuring Gunna would arrive on April 26.

As promised, “1:59” is here. Plus, Normani finally confirmed that Dopamine will be released on June 14. As it were, the slow-burning R&B banger finds Normani just as tired of waiting around as her fans. “When I get you alone / Boy, what you gon’ do with it?” Normani sings, her vocals as strong as ever. “Don’t talk too much, just do this sh*t.” Gunna’s sings back to her, promising “You gon’ like the things I do.”

The sultry song is Normani’s first release since she collaborated with Sam Smith on the 2019 earworm “Dancing With A Stranger,” which peaked at No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100. Meanwhile, Gunna is 10 days removed from announcing One Of Wun as his next album.

While “1:59” is the official lead single from Dopamine, Normani gave a taste of “Candy Paint” in a Bose ad last summer.

Listen to “1:59” above.

Dopamine is out 6/14 via RCA Records. Find more information here.

PARTYNEXTDOOR Strikes Again With Moody Sequel Album “P4”

by

PARTYNEXTDOOR has quietly put together a stellar career. He’s been in the game for over a decade now, and he helped to solidify the “Toronto Sound” of the 2010s along with Drake and the rest of OVO. He experimented with different sounds on his last album, PARTYMOBILE (2020), but his new offering, PARTYNEXTDOOR 4 (or simply P4), serves as a return to form. It’s fourth installment in his self-titled series, and it’s a slick reminder that few artists are making better R&B music at the moment.

PARTYNEXTDOOR dropped four tracks ahead of the album’s release, and they all slide nicely into the tracklist. “Lose My Mind” and “Resentment” are standard PND fodder, solid if not spectacular. “Her Old Friends” changes things up with an acoustic guitar and a driving drum beat, while “Real Woman” remains a standout thanks to its slow jam tempo and sultry vocal sample. Thankfully, the bulk of the album falls in this slow jam sweet spot. P4 is at its best when it settles in and lets its singer ruminate about women who have wronged him (and vice versa). “Stuck In My Ways” is one of the moodiest songs PARTYNEXTDOOR has ever dropped. The chopped and screwed piano sample is hypnotic, especially when paired with the mournful vocals.

PARTYNEXTDOOR 4 Is Best When It Gets Moody

“Cheers” and “Make It to the Morning” provide mid-tempo reprieves from the album’s darker moments. The latter provides a glimpse of daylight in an otherwise nocturnal listen, and benefits from being right in the middle of the tracklist. There are a few missteps, like the plodding “No Chill,” which feels like its twice length. There’s also “Sorry, But I’m Outside,” which suffers from cloying breakup lyrics out of step with the PND playbook. P4 does rebound on the back end, though, with the glitchy track “Family” and the aforementioned “Resentment.” Overall, it’s a worthy addition to the PARTYNEXTDOOR series.

What are your thoughts on this new album, PARTYNEXTDOOR 4 (P4), by PARTYNEXTDOOR? Does PND still have the magic touch after four years off? Where does it rank in his self-titled album series? Which of the deep cuts was your favorite? We want to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.

JT Drops Hard-Hitting Single “Okay” Amidst City Girls Feud

by

JT and Yung Miami are not in the best place at the moment. The two emcee rose to fame as the duo City Girls, but true to form in 2024, they have engaged in a public feud. The whole thing started when Miami called out JT for “sneak dissing” her on X (formerly Twitter). The latter denied these claims, and told her partner in rhyme that she was “playing dumb.” Things appeared to have cooled down in the three weeks since the social media explosion, but City Girls does not look as though it continue for much longer. This makes it the perfect time for JT to drop the solo single “Okay.”

The Florida rapper teased a snippet of “Okay” on April 16, along with a pre-order link. The single sees JT engage in her usual boastful style, which sounds amazing over the horn-heavy beat. The bouncy drums are a throwback to the sound Waka Flocka Flame and Lex Luger established in the late 2000s, but with a slicker, modern spin. JT’s bars are standard for anyone who’s spent time listening to a City Girls tape, but the appeal of both her and Yung Miami has always been the swagger over the wordplay. “I’m pretty than a motherf**ker, h*es be lookin’ okay,” she raps. “She think that she f**king with me, is this b*tch okay. He said he ain’t f**kin’ ’round, I look at him like, okay.” It’s a memorable chorus.

JT Proves That She Can Kill A Track Solo

“Okay” is the latest track to be released from JT’s rumored debut album. There isn’t a proper name or release date, but the rapper has been teasing multiple leaks. “Okay” is the third single for the album after “Sideways” and “No Bars,” both of which dropped in 2023. JT gushed about being able to make the music she wants in an IG post hyping up “No Bars,” and it’s safe to assume the excitement extends to “Okay” as well. “No more hiding my love for music, I love music,” she wrote. “I love my voice! I love poppin’ my sh*t.”

What are your thoughts on this brand-new song, “Okay,” by JT? Does the song make you more excited for JT’s solo album? Does it live up to the rapper’s work with City Girls? Do you think JT and Yung Miami are going to continue as a duo? We want to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.

Quotable Lyrics:

Down South, bad b*tch, this skreet sh*t, so ratchet

I’m with a booster, a scammer, and a pole dancer
P*ssy n**ga call my phone, he won’t get no answer (Nah)

Ice Spice Steals The Show On Cash Cobain’s “Fisherrr (Remix)”

by

Cash Cobain is on the come up. The rapper had a production credit on Drake and 21 Savage’s Her Loss (2022) and his new collab with Bay Swag, “Fisherrr,” has been getting lots of playlist spins on streaming. It’s a catchy track, driven by Cobain’s start/stop flow and the jittery drum pattern. The lack of a verse on the back end made it a prime candidate for a remix, though, and Cobain took notes. “Fisherrr (Remix)” enlists one of the hottest rappers on the planet, Ice Spice, and the result is a track that outdoes the original.

Cobain and Bay Swag maintain the hypnotic qualities of “Fisherrr,” but Ice Spice kicks things up a notch with her singular flow. She comes in towards the end of the remix, where the OG version lost steam, and spits bars about what else: being the baddest in the game. People don’t listen to Spice for the intricate wordplay, it’s all about the delivery and the quotables. The “Munch” hitmaker even throws it back to her breakout single. “I brought a baddie too,” she raps. “She a wetty, ooh, givin’ Betty Boop. I ain’t callin’ you “my boo,” n**ga, what you thought? I was feelin’ you?”.

Ice Spice Allegedly Disses Latto On The Remix

“Fisherrr (Remix)” actually leaked a week prior to its official release. DJ Akademiks was sent the track on April 18 and previewed it during one of his live streams. Some fans think Ice Spice’s verse is taking aim at Latto, but there’s nothing that explicitly links the two artists. “Make ’em b*tches wanna hate, she see me and she get uncomfortable” are the “diss” bars in question. In the super combative diss environment of 2024, however, they aren’t enough to start a legitimate feud. They could just as easily be general brag raps.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new song, “Fisherrr (Remix),” by Cash Cobain, Bay Swag and Ice Spice? Do you prefer it to the original? Does Ice Spice keep her hot streak going? Do you think she was taking shots at Latto on her verse? We want 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 on Cobain and Ice Spice. Finally, stay with us for the most informative song posts throughout the week.

Quotable Lyrics:

Got an attitude but I’m feelingless, so I ain’t mad at you
And I’m tatted too on this fatty-tude, I’m the baddest boo
So what you ’bout to do? Top on batty and then jatty move
And my a*s fat ’cause I eat my oats and my vegetables
And my p*ssy fat, and it’s creamy, ooh, just like Danimals
I’m a baddie, so I know them other b*tches ain’t impressin’ you

Eminem Announced ‘The Death Of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce)’ As His Next Album, And He Seems To Really Mean It This Time

The 2024 NFL Draft is being held in Eminem’s beloved Detroit, so he was prominently featured alongside NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell in the league’s promotion. Once the NFL Draft began on Thursday night, April 25, Eminem pivoted to promote something else — announcing a new album. Of course, Eminem fooled people with a faux album announcement on April Fools’ Day, but this announcement seems real.

According to Variety, a trailer for the album began making the rounds on X (formerly Twitter) after Eminem appeared on stage with Goodell to officially commence the NFL Draft.

XXL was among the accounts circulating the 30-second video, which shows a true crime reporter on “Detroit Murder Files” discussing “the blond anti-hero known as Slim Shady,” who “has had no shortage of enemies.” 50 Cent appears, saying, “He’s not a friend; he’s a psychopath.” Back to the true crime reporter (or rather, the man spoofing a true crime reporter with impeccable accuracy), detailing that Slim Shady’s “rude lyrics and controversial antics may have ultimately led to his demise.” He concludes, “Join me as we recreate the events that led to the murder of Slim Shady.”

The screen is then populated with the message, “THE DEATH OF SLIM SHADY (COUP DE GRACE) SUMMER 2024.”

Earlier this month, Eminem also announced an upcoming documentary by posting a casting call for real-life “Stans.”

Fat Joe Doesn’t Think Kendrick Lamar Will Respond To Drake: “That’s Over”

by

Fat Joe is an industry legend. He’s been around for decades, beefed with some of the best rappers of all time, and lived to tell the tale. He knows a thing or two about beef protocol, which makes his remarks on the Drake versus Kendrick Lamar battle all the more insightful. The “Lean Back” rapper got on IG Live to discuss Drake’s AI-generated diss, and determine whether Lamar still has a fighting chance to win the battle. He had a mixed opinion on the former, but he made his stance clear on the latter. As far as he’s concerned, K. Dot has already lost.

Fat Joe made it clear that he doesn’t prefer one artist over the over in the battle. “I got no horse in this game,” he asserted. “I wish they would all get along.” He did, however, make it clear that he feels Drake came out on top. He pointed to the fact that Drake rattled off two diss tracks in the span of two weeks, while Lamar has failed to put out a proper response. “I don’t think Kendrick’s cooking up,” he admitted. “It didn’t take him three-four weeks. I think that’s over.” Joe’s comments are not unique among hip-hop insiders. Many are waiting on Lamar to come back, and fear that he won’t complete the battle that he effectively started with “Like That.”

Drake’s second diss, “Taylor Made Freestyle,” has been another major talking point. The rapper was forced to take the song down after 2Pac’s estate threatened legal action. The estate claimed that the 6 God’s antics were a “blatant abuse” of the late rapper’s legacy. Fat Joe was much more complimentive of what Drake did, and even went as far as to say it pushed the boundaries for rap beef. “I thought it was creative,” he noted. “Using the AI 2Pac, pushing the envelope.” Joe may be displaying a bit of bias in this instance, however.

The New York rapper bumped heads with 2Pac at the height of the West Coast-East Coast beef in the 1990s. During an interview with Cam Capone News, Joe went as far as to claim that he made a collab “diss” album with The Notorious B.I.G. The latter died before it could be completed. “We made a bunch of songs,” he recalled. “But it was like really disrespectful and hateful and so [Biggie] died and ‘Pac died. They might have burnt them sh*ts, to be honest with you, ’cause you know, it was distasteful after the fact.” Joe’s experience lends credence to his desire to see Drake and Lamar smooth things over.
