The post GET + OUT + MY + WAY – Song by $NOT appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]> $NOT ranges from aggressive trap to more woozy plugg and cloud rap styles, and he’s leaning more into the latter on the new single “GET + OUT + MY + WAY.” It’s a slow burner with ascending and descending synth bubbles, a light synth wailing away in the background, and more atmospheric and psychedelic pads and effects. $NOT comes through with a persistent but intoxicating flow, employing a more deadpan and brooding vocal delivery to add a bit of menace. He continues to show why he can hop around different emotional moods with ease. Hopefully the next release continues the balance and turns the energy up to 11 to complement “GET + OUT + MY + WAY.”

Release Date: May 22, 2026

Genre: Hip-Hop

Album: N/A

Quotable Lyrics from GET + OUT + MY + WAY

These n***as is lame, they gon’ steal that lane,
I’ma die on the hill with all of my demons,
Fifty racks in my bag, going to spend it all day,
We don’t give a f**k about no season

]]> 24 Hours – Song by Stormzy & Odeal https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/995918-24-hours-stormzy-odeal Sat, 23 May 2026 08:00:00 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=995918 "24 Hours" by Stormzy and Odeal sees both U.K. artists linking up for the first time, and the results are charming.

The post 24 Hours – Song by Stormzy & Odeal appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]> Stormzy is getting into his Afrobeats bag with the new single “24 Hours” with Odeal, and it’s a perfect track to enjoy in the upcoming summer season. An earthy and dry percussive pattern keeps bubbling synths, soaring vocals, and grounding chords in check. There are also some beautiful melodies on here, whereas the London-based rapper gets into his trademark rap flows to give the track some more oomph. It doesn’t change much throughout its runtime. But by the time Odeal comes back for the chorus, it’s a pretty cathartic and sweet moment. Hopefully these two link up more in the future, as this first-time collab shows off a lot of chemistry.

Release Date: May 22, 2026

Genre: Hip-Hop / Afrobeats

Quotable Lyrics from 24 Hours

Alright, look,
Push back, girl, you got to resist,
Your ex had you locked up for the summer,
Had your girls in the group chat saying, “Free sis,”
Broke out, now he’s going to be pissed

]]> In The Car – Song by Jim Jones, Yung Bleu & Kodie Shane https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/995914-in-the-car-jim-jones-yung-bleu-kodie-shane Sat, 23 May 2026 07:00:00 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=995914 "In The Car" by Jim Jones, Yung Blue, and Kodie Shane is a pretty breezy and pleasant fusion of hip-hop and R&B.

The post In The Car – Song by Jim Jones, Yung Bleu & Kodie Shane appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]> Jim Jones is keeping himself fresh as a hip-hop veteran by working with newer names like Yung Bleu and Kodie Shane. Their new single “In The Car” mixes all their melodic, soft, and easy-going sides well, using a bouncy percussive rhythm and some cold synths and pads to make a breezy listening experience. Capo takes over the rap verse, whereas Kodie and Bleu are much more melodic on the cut. They let their vocals float along with the dreamy instrumental, and it’s a very fitting mix. “In The Car” doesn’t overstay its welcome thanks to these contrasts, and it’s a simple but effective record.

Release Date: May 22, 2026

Genre: Hip-Hop

Album: N/A

Quotable Lyrics from In The Car

Want to smash under the stars? I told her a**, “Jump in my car,”
Legs on the ceiling, sexual healing,
Something like Marvin, but I’m nothing like his last name,
Heavy sex drive, now she jumping in the fast lane

]]> DJ Akademiks Shares Footage Of Drake Gifting Him OVO Owl Chain https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/995973-akademiks-drake-ovo-owl-chain Sat, 23 May 2026 00:50:58 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=995973 He's already shown that Drake gave him an iced-out chain, but now Akademiks has shared the moment he received the jewelry.

The post DJ Akademiks Shares Footage Of Drake Gifting Him OVO Owl Chain appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]> As the hype surrounding Drake’s triple-album dump quietly fades, DJ Akademiks is keeping the fire burning by sharing more unseen footage from his meetup with the rapper. Over the past week, Akademiks has taken to his platforms to share details regarding meeting Drizzy for the first time. Over the years, as Drake’s friends and industry acquaintances abandoned him during the thick of his Kendrick Lamar takedown, people like Ak have stayed solid, showing their unwavering loyalty.

We’ve already seen the photo of Drake presenting Akademiks with his official iced-out, owl OVO chain. Now, the podcaster returns with more footage of the moment he received the coveted jewelry.

In the clip, the Toronto icon is sitting across from Ak at a restaurant. Unsurprisingly, Akademiks is shocked to see the gift. “It’s not real, is it?” he asks. “It’s legit? For me?” Drake shyly answers, “Overdue.” To be fair, the rapper isn’t lying. Akademiks has held him down against backlash and global mockery, often targeting Lamar and anyone else in the industry who dared to stand against the 6 God.

Moreover, Akademiks also previously detailed his experience visiting Toronto. Apparently, Drake sent his private jet to fly him to Canada, then rolled out the red-carpet treatment to ensure Ak had the best visit ever. Akademiks was so smitten with the ordeal that, while they were in the car, he said the stoplights all turned green as if Drake had run the city, further emphasizing the “mob boss” mentality surrounding the rapper and Toronto.

Check out DJ Akademiks and Drake having a moment below.

]]> Snoop Dogg Was “Inspired” By Michael Jackson Biopic, Talks His Own Movie https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/995970-snoop-dogg-michael-jackson-biopic Sat, 23 May 2026 00:09:17 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=995970 Long Beach icon Snoop Dogg is reportedly developing his own biopic, and he tells Big Boy how MJ's movie has motivated him.

The post Snoop Dogg Was “Inspired” By Michael Jackson Biopic, Talks His Own Movie appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]> For years, there has been talk of Snoop Dogg producing his own biopic. Those old enough to have tracked the Long Beach icon’s career from its mainstream inception want a movie about the behind-the-scenes ins and outs. As Snoop continues to develop that idea, he sat down with Big Boy’s Neighborhood to chat about how the recent Michael Jackson biopic has “inspired” him with his own release.

“When I seen the Michael Jackson movie, that was inspiring,” said Snoop. “Very inspiring, because it was great storytelling. The acting, the believability, and the nephew becoming Mike. Just, performances. All of that sh*t. It just was exciting to see. I put a spark in me.”

Snoop Wants To Look At Himself Objectively

Further, Snoop revealed that he was able to view the film before it was released to the world. Big Boy added that he, too, saw the movie in a private screening and thought it was incredible. He asked Snoop whether that got his mental wheels turning, seeing a production like Jackson’s. “It gets you into a mode of storytelling. You look at the storytelling, you look at the characters, and you look at how much you know, and how much you didn’t know.”

Big Boy also wanted to know if it was going to be strange for Snoop to watch a movie about his own life story. “I mean, I never looked at my highlights, so I don’t really know what my life was,” the rapper replied. “I’m living life. So, if I see something, I hear it, I’m amused by it. Because it’s like, ‘Damn. I did that? That was me?’ ‘Cause I don’t watch me. I’m too busy doing me.”

]]> Hip Hop Icon Rob Base Passes Away At 59 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/995965-rob-base-dead-59 Fri, 22 May 2026 23:38:52 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=995965 Sadly, Hip Hop has lost one of its pioneers, as it's reported that Rob Base has died after a private cancer battle.

The post Hip Hop Icon Rob Base Passes Away At 59 appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]> It’s a sad day for Hip Hop, as news has been shared that one of our icons, the legendary Rob Base, has died. Known as one of Hip Hop’s foundational voices, it was announced today (May 22) that the Harlem-born rapper, best known as one half of the legendary duo Rob Base & DJ E-Z Rock, succumbed to cancer. Born Robert Ginyard, Rob Base reportedly died peacefully surrounded by family after a private battle. He was 59 years old. Further, news of his death arrived just days after he celebrated his birthday on May 18. It prompted an outpouring of grief from fans and artists who grew up on the group’s era-defining sound.

The Loss Of A Legend

Alongside DJ E-Z Rock, who died in 2014, Rob Base helped reshape late-1980s Hip Hop with the release of “It Takes Two.” It was a record that became one of the genre’s most recognizable crossover hits. Additionally, “Joy and Pain” has also become a legendary Hip Hop party and club classic. “It Takes Two” was built around an infectious James Brown-inspired energy and Lyn Collins’ sample work. The song moved between block parties, radio stations, clubs, movies, commercials, and generations.

Moreover, the duo’s success helped push Rap music further into the mainstream during a period when Hip Hop was still fighting for industry legitimacy. Decades later, “It Takes Two” remains part of the culture’s DNA, being sampled, referenced, and hailed as one of the records that permanently altered the sound and commercial reach of Hip Hop.

This is a major for Hip Hop. We celebrate Rob Base’s legacy by running back his entire catalog. Check out some of his hits above and below.

]]> Lizzo Praises SZA While Saying She Doesn’t Have Many Industry Friends https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/995963-lizzo-friends-sza-industry Fri, 22 May 2026 23:21:52 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=995963 Just because you see Lizzo outside with a another celebrity doesn't mean they're friends in real life...except for SZA.

The post Lizzo Praises SZA While Saying She Doesn’t Have Many Industry Friends appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]> Although it may look as if our favorite artists are BFFs, Lizzo is making it clear that appearances aren’t all that they seem. The hitmaking singer has shared studios and stages with several artists, and she’s putting to rest the rumors that just because she makes an appearance with someone, they’re good friends. For Lizzo, collaborating or taking a photo isn’t the same as having a friend in the industry.

Lizzo rejected the idea that “all famous people know each other and we’re all best friends.” While speaking with Joel Madden on his Artist Friendly podcast, she laughed and said just because she takes a photo with someone at the Grammys doesn’t mean that they’re chit-chatting on the phone. “Even people who have songs together, people think they’re besties. It’s like, no. I like them as an artist, I respect their music and we collabed. But like, I sent them files. They recorded it and sent it back to me.”

Lizzo Praises SZA As A Real Friend

Further, Lizzo said that even for artists with whom she’s worked and shot music videos, those interactions on set were minimal, not indicative of a personal relationship. “I don’t really have many people who [I can] talk to about this sort of thing. I talk to SZA, I love her. She’s one of the only few people—you’ve gotta have her on the show. But like, she’s the only person that I can call and be like, ‘Okay b*tch,’ and she’s like, ‘Okay.'”

Madden added that he’s a fan of SZA and would love to chat with her on his podcast, as well. Check out Lizzo with the Good Charlotte icon below.

]]> Charleston White Recounts Tense Confrontation With Young Thug https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/995959-charleston-white-recounts-tense-confrontation-young-thug Fri, 22 May 2026 20:30:06 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=995959 Charleston White had been criticizing Young Thug for a while before they had a tense confrontation in Florida.

The post Charleston White Recounts Tense Confrontation With Young Thug appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]> Charleston White recently sat down with DJ Vlad for a new VladTV interview, during which Vlad asked him about his viral run-in with Young Thug. For those unaware, the two got into a tense confrontation back in March of this year, which White is shedding a little more light on now.

The social media personality said he doesn’t know what the altercation was about, reflecting on collaborating for community outreach in Atlanta with Thug while he was still in prison. He also spoke on partnering with him for a Thanksgiving turkey giveaway, so they had some history together before the incident.

But Charleston White’s friendship with YSL affiliate and YSL RICO trial witness Woody apparently threw a wrench into things, according to Charleston. “Atlanta was mad at me for f***ing with Woody,” he remarked. White talked about Woody and Thugger getting in touch, White speaking on the Gunna situation and angering Thug, and thinking YSL and Thug didn’t care about White’s developments. “I didn’t know it was that serious,” he said.

Charleston White’s Young Thug Incident

Then, Charleston White’s issues with Young Thug came into clearer view when he got to the Coulda Been Love reunion by Druski in Florida that was the site of the altercation. Thug’s entourage eventually approached him, and Thug allegedly said, ‘We step on s**t.’

White didn’t think much of it, as he thought the rapper wouldn’t want to risk his probation, but he hoped they would try. He said he reached for his mace and claimed someone said ‘Don’t lose your life in here’ and pretended to hold a gun.

White spoke on pretending to try to press charges to make a big deal out of this, even speaking with police to get and give more information. He spoke on the video of him flaunting his mace before security broke things up.

Charleston White made more claims about Young Thug, alleging he and Lil Baby are trying to establish intimidating dominance in Miami. But we’ll see if any of this leads to actual developments instead of online clashes over brief altercations. After all, White thought the whole thing was good for content, and played into it.

]]> Adrien Broner Called Out For Inappropriately Touching 19-Year-Old Streamer https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/995954-adrien-broner-called-out-touching-19-year-old-streamer Fri, 22 May 2026 19:45:18 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=995954 Adrien Broner has found himself in controversy once again, and it's because of a livestreamed interaction with 19-year-old Aya Tanjali.

The post Adrien Broner Called Out For Inappropriately Touching 19-Year-Old Streamer appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]> Adrien Broner went from boxing champion to popular streaming personality, which has resulted in a lot of antics and controversy. However, his most recent appearance on the timeline is causing more backlash than his usual fare. During a livestream with streamer and social media personality Aya Tanjali, Broner inappropriately touched her and made her so uncomfortable she left the get-together.

As caught by Hollywood Unlocked on Instagram, you can see him sitting beside Tanjali in the clip. When the 19-year-old streamer got up, the former pro boxer tapped her behind with the back of his hand. Then, she walked away and eventually said she was going to head home.

“That has never happened to me,” Aya Tanjali remarked on stream outside of the location she, Adrien Broner, and others were at. “That’s the first time somebody actually slapped my a** or tried some s**t on me… That’s crazy. I really hope he apologizes. ‘Cause I know he’s drunk. But being drunk doesn’t excuse your behavior. That’s just all around weird. I low-key wanted to cry in that moment. I’m not going to lie. That’s never happened to me, ever.”

The Shade Room reportedly got a chance to talk with Broner after this situation went viral. “Man ain’t nobody violated that girl,” he reportedly expressed. “She over-doing it. Tell her I said I’m sorry and I apologize call or text me.”

Aya Tanjali Speaks On Adrien Broner

Aya Tanjali took to her Instagram Story recently to address some of the chatter. She clarified that she’s not seeking legal action at press time despite what some rumors indicated. The 19-year-old streamer said she felt uncomfortable at the time, but now thinks he probably didn’t mean anything by it after watching the video again.

“At the same time, I still feel like no man should be putting their hands on a woman in any way that can make her uncomfortable, intentional or not,” she added. Tanjali asked folks to stop spreading false information and thanked those who checked in with her to show love.

Adrien Broner has faced controversies with women before, and this wouldn’t be the first time his comments towards a woman led to backlash. We’ll see if there’s anything else in this saga.

The post Foolio’s Mother Reacts To Accomplice’s Sentence & Convicted Killer’s Past appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]> The Foolio murder trial has finally wrapped up, as accomplice Alicia Andrews recently got her sentence for a manslaughter conviction. The rapper’s mother Sandrikas Mays gave a victim impact statement at the court session, which came after she accused her son’s convicted killer, Sean Gathright, of being the perpetrator of other killings.

According to XXL, Judge Kimberly Fernandez denied Andrews’ motion to appeal the conviction today (Friday, May 22). Judge Fernandez then handed down a 15-year sentence. “After having reviewed all of the defense’s assertions as to the defense’s argument as to errors made by my predecessor judge, I’m going to place on the record that I would not have ruled any differently,” the judge reportedly expressed.

Mays emotionally spoke on her son’s murder during her statement, as caught by No Jumper on Instagram. “My son was hunted, followed and ultimately murdered in what authorities described as a coordinated plot involving multiple individuals,” she reportedly expressed. “It is extremely painful to hear Alicia Andrews portray herself as someone who didn’t know what was going on. They could have turned around, but they still carried on the plan to hunt my son down like a deer in the woods…My son’s life mattered. He was not disposable.”

Have Foolio’s Killers Been Sentenced?

Four men received convictions for Foolio’s murder, those being Alicia Andrews’ boyfriend Isaiah Chance, Rashad Murphy, Davion Murphy, and the aforementioned Sean Gathright. A jury recommended life sentences for all four men for the heavier charges, and they will reportedly learn their fate on June 22.

Foolio’s mother Sandrikas Mays, who celebrateed the convictions and mocked the perpetrators, claimed Gathright is also responsible for other murders in Florida. As caught by My Mixtapez on IG, she claimed during an Instagram Live session that bullet casings from her son’s case matched forensic information from other murder cases in the state.

Alicia Andrews’ conviction and 15-year sentence rests on the notion that she tracked the late MC and provided his whereabouts to the perpetrators. Now, the case can finally come to a close, with the four killers’ sentencing date happening in about a month. We will see what their fates are, and what other reactions to this may emerge.
