Nas Is Unstoppable On “Abracadabra” From New “Magic 2” Album/ 07/21/2023
Nas has never not been in his bag over the past five years, consistently connecting with Hit-Boy to bring their innovative sound to hip-hop with series’ like King’s Disease and Magic. The second installment in the latter landed this past New Music Friday (July 21) after a brief rollout from the New Yorker via Instagram. It includes two guest features – one from 50 Cent and another from 21 Sav – as well as what seems to be a hint that Nas and Hit are already halfway done with their next joint effort.
“2020 when we did the first one (Yo), five-album run, not a cursed one, it’s a blessed one / By the time y’all hear this (Yeah), we be halfway through the next one,” the legendary lyricist rhymes on “Abracadabra.” On the chorus, Nas’ confidence continues to shine through as he declares “Y’all creatin’ the hate, but I be creatin’ with Hit / Ain’t no way we could miss, ain’t no way we could miss.”

As expected, music lovers are already raving about Magic 2, which finds the 49-year-old and his producer blending that world with what they’ve been creating across their three King’s Disease LPs. Besides “Abracadabra,” “Black Magic” and Motion” have both been racking up the streams. It remains unclear when Nas plans to deliver what he and Hit-Boy have been cooking up, but knowing him, it’ll come as a complete surprise and undoubtedly blow us away once again.
Listen to Nas’ “Abracadabra” above, and if you’re feeling it, add the track to your playlist on Spotify/Apple Music. Is Magic 2 your favourite rap album of the summer so far? Let us know in the comments, and find more HNHH release recommendations on our weekly Fire Emoji update below.

“Butterfly Ku”: Ice Spice Seemingly Throws Shade At Latto On New Song/ 07/21/2023
Another track from Spice’s “Like..? (Deluxe)” EP called “How High?” appears to take aim at Latto as well.
Ice Spice may be “Princess Diana” in her hood, but that doesn’t mean she’s always as sweet as the People’s Princess. In fact, it seems that when someone crosses the 23-year-old’s path, she’s not one to easily let go of a grudge. Her first year in the game has allowed Spice to make friends with the likes of Taylor Swift, Drake, and Nicki Minaj, but it’s also brought her an apparent enemy in the form of Latto.
While neither lyricist has directly exchanged words with the other, there have been telling subliminals sent out on social media – not to mention the younger starlet’s double mention of Latto’s “Put It On Da Floor” on her new Like..? (Deluxe) EP. The first comes from the opening title, “How High?” and the next is on the following song, “Butterfly Ku,” on which Spice reminds us that all the baddest women have insect tats.
When referencing Latto specifically, the redhead raps, “Where she at? On the floor / She get her money, but I’m gettin’ more.” Spice’s rhymes then continue with “I’m a player, you know I’ma score / First they was hatin’, now I’m on the board” before she closes out with one final chorus. “She fly with a butterfly tat’ / Linkin’ her friend and don’t know how to act,” the RIOTUSA and A Lau-produced track ends.
Stream Ice Spice’s short and sweet “Butterfly Ku” above, or add it to your playlist on Spotify/Apple Music. Which of the Bronx baddie’s four new songs from Like..? (Deluxe) is stuck in your head this weekend? Let us know in the comments, and check out her first time performing “Deli” live at Rolling Loud Miami

Lex The Hex Master & Jake Palumbo - Swing The Katana/07/07/2023
SpaceLAB Recordings in association with Shadow Army Productions presents the release of “Swing The Katana” – the 2nd single from the upcoming collaborative LP Fire & Lead from Lex The Hex Master & Jake Palumbo – arriving on all streaming services July 7th via SpaceLAB Recordings & Soulspazm Records, along with a music video directed by Moe Dutches.
The song wastes no time from the opening piano keys, with producer Jake Palumbo stepping from behind the boards to rhyme, declaring he “don’t associate with any bottom-feeding shellfish” & delivering the scathing, sardonic bars he’s become synonymous with. Lex The Hex Master anchors the song with a trademark sing-songy chorus before dropping his own apocalyptic 16 bars, welcoming listeners to his multiverse of dark imagery & morbid humor.
The Fire & Lead album is a collaborative effort intended to bridge gaps of sorts – Lex The Hex Master has made a name for himself in the horrorcore end of the hip-hop spectrum, having been signed to Detroit-based label Majik Ninja Entertainment since 2016 & touring with artists such as Twiztid, Esham & others. But being born & raised in Queens, he is a lyrical New York emcee at heart.
Jake Palumbo is commonly filed under the East Coast boom bap category, having lived in Brooklyn for half his life. But his Tennessee roots shine through in his Southern-fried production & vocals, whether in his solo work or producing for artists such as El Da Sensei, Ruste Juxx, Smif-N-Wessun, Royce Da 5’9” & more.
Since 2019, Lex & Jake made several guest appearances on the other’s respective albums before ultimately teaming up for the full-length Fire & Lead LP. “Swing The Katana'' follows up the successful first single “Amen”, which found Lex leading the choir in a triumphant anthem that sounds like an old fashioned church revival occurring during the book of Revelations.

Remembering Tina Turner = 05/24/2023
Amid the unfortunate passing of vocal icon Tina Turner, we’re looking back on the Grammy-winning music mogul’s illustrious career.
Soul and rock powerhouse Tina Turner has died at the age of 83. Her death was announced in a statement on her official Facebook page but offered no specific details surrounding the cause. However, her memoir Tina Turner: My Love Story saw her open up about a variety of health issues she had dealt with over the past decade, including a stroke, intestinal cancer, and kidney failure. Her second husband, Erwin Bach, donated a kidney to Turner to save her life in 2017. Her loss is a significant one to the musical community. She heavily influenced today’s slew of R&B and pop-rock artists.
Tina Turner’s imprint can be found in the electric performances of artists such as Beyoncé. Featuring an unparalleled background setting and booming vocals, Beyoncé’s live performances were a hallmark reason for her success on the streaming charts. However, that image of women’s empowerment was heavily influenced by the performances of Tina Turner throughout the ’70s to the ’90s. At the 2005 Kennedy Center Awards, Beyoncé stated, “Every now and then, when I think of inspiration, I think of the two Tinas in my life – that’s my mother, Tina, and of course, the amazing Tina Turner.”

Tina Turner Proved She Could Do It Herself
As a young girl growing up in rural Tennessee, Tina Turner went by her birth name Anna Bullock. She would sing and recite movie dialogues to entertain her family on lousy Sunday afternoons. She was somewhat of a musical star in her town by the mere age of 5. As a teenager, she was a nurse’s assistant and looked after small children. However, she knew that her career would lie beyond teaching and mentorship. By 20 years old, her burgeoning music career had kicked off with Ike Turner. The two superstar vocalists would become worldwide stars, a trend starting with the duet single “A Fool In Love” in 1960. The two would become one of the most formidable live acts in history, releasing other classics such as “Proud Mary” and “It’s Gonna Work Out Fine.” On the outside, life couldn’t be any better for Tina Turner.
However, Ike Turner was abusing her behind the scenes. By 1976, Tina Turner had left the relationship. She famously fled her partner with nothing but a Mobil card and 36 cents in her pocket. In reflecting on her life through Happiness Becomes You, Tina Turner told HBR, “I used to be baffled about why I had to endure so much abuse because I hadn’t done anything to deserve it. After I began practicing Buddhism, I realized that my hardships could give me a mission – a purpose. I saw that by overcoming my obstacles, I could build indestructible happiness and inspire others to do the same.” Launching an iconic comeback throughout the 1980s, she proved that she could succeed without Ike behind the multi-platinum album Private Dancer.

She Won Eight Grammys Throughout Her Career
At 49 years old, Tina Turner was as big an artist as she’d ever been. Her Break Every Rule World Tour set the record for the largest paying audience of all time. She would seat over 180,000 people for one performance. Her malleable and versatile voice resonated with millions. She could pivot from a scathing rock growl to the soothing voice of the smoky blues on a dime, distinguishing her amongst the field of vocalists. In addition to her wide-ranging solo works, the Tennessee-born icon also made a name for herself as an astute cover artist. Interpreting bands from The Beatles to the Rolling Stones, she’d win her first Grammy for covering Creedence Clearwater Revival’s “Proud Mary.” Turner would win eight Grammys, cementing her amongst the greats.
Her commercial success would go beyond the world of music. Diversifying her portfolio in the film world, she co-starred in the 1985 film Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome. Additionally, Turner would go on to act in her biopic What’s Love Got To Do With It. Turner has written various books that capture the chaos and meaning of her life. Ultimately, stories such as the 2020 memoir Happiness Becomes You encourage her audience to overcome obstacles and achieve happiness within. In her later years, she would turn to Buddhism to attain inner peace. Turner would perform her final tour, Tina!: 50th Anniversary Tour in 2009 before retiring. Selling over 100 million records worldwide, Tina Turner is one of the most successful artists ever. Even more importantly, the Queen of Rock & Roll inspired a new generation of outspoken vocalists.

Drake Links Up With Popular Mexican Artists At The Club/ 05/02/2023
Drake has been in the headlines a lot recently. Normally, that would probably be a good thing. However, in Drake’s case, he’s probably not so happy about it. The rapper has been involuntarily involved in the new wave of AI music that has begun to saturate social platforms. From funny covers to nonexistent collaborations, AI creators are taking the concept and running with it. Drake isn’t too happy about it either. In fact, he called an AI-generated cover of Ice Spice’s “Munch (Feeling You)” the last straw. It’s not clear where to draw the line when it comes to AI “art.” Some musicians have even given people the go-ahead to use their voices as they choose.
Universal Music Group has called for streaming platforms to take down AI-generated content. It has been criticized by many other artists besides Drake, as well. It raises many issues, from copyright problems to plain old human rights. If any creator is able to use the likeness or voice of an artist with no consequences, what implications does that have? Drake is not the only musician who is worried about it. Sadly, it seems that the problem is only progressing further. More and more websites are cropping up that allow any user to use the voice of a rapper or singer to create a new song. While this is very worrying, it seems the real Drake may be collaborating with some new artists soon.

Is The Real Drake Planning On A New Collab Soon?
It looks like Drake might be collaborating with some Mexican artists in the near future. At least, that is what fans are speculating about after a recent video. The video, which was filmed in a club in Miami, was posted to an Instagram story. It shows Drake partying it up with rapper Chinito Pacas. The Mexican rapper just had his first Billboard 100 charting hit with “El Gordo Trae El Mando.” The video is captioned “taking it to the next level.” While that could simply mean that the two are partying hard together, some think a collaboration is imminent.
“Smart man. Keep connecting with every culture and make dope music,” one comment said in support. “Drake unlocking the bélicon flow,” another user joked. Some, however, were not so supportive of a potential collab. They compared Drake’s behavior to that of 6ix9ine, who recently released several songs that are primarily in Spanish. Of course, 6ix9ine is half Mexican and half Puerto Rican, so it makes sense for him to do so. Whether or not it makes sense for Drake is up to the listeners.

While Method Man isn’t super tuned in to what’s hot in hip-hop music right now, he did reveal one artist that’s always playing in his household. Moreover, HipHopDX caught up with the Wu-Tang Clan legend while on the red carpet for the 2023 Grammy Awards. In a newly surfaced clip from the publication, Jeremy Hecht asked Mef what new artist he was listening to at the time, and his answer might surprise some fans. Furthermore, he expressed that he doesn’t listen to too many new things in hip-hop these days, especially as he became successful in other entertainment areas. However, he gave a big shoutout to Memphis’ own GloRilla, who he says is in heavy rotation in his home.
“I don’t really listen to much [of] today’s music,” Method Man replied to Hecht’s question. “But right now, who’s relevant in my household? Who they playing in my house? Glo.” In addition, he revealed that GloRilla apparently didn’t know who he was when they met. Still, she remained graceful, respectful, and kind during their interaction, which the Long Island legend appreciated. “That speaks volumes to her character. Love her.”

Method Man Shouts Out GloRilla At The Grammys
Of course, the Grammys red carpet also had other rap legends speak on the “Tomorrow 2” star, most notably Grandmaster Flash. HipHopDX actually got his very first reaction to her smash hit “F.N.F.,” as the Furious Five legend admitted that his children tried to get him to listen to her. As he heard the song, he bobbed his head along and took note of her blunt, boastful lyrics. “Okay GloRilla! This s**t sounds like fun too,” he said of the track. “She’s talking s**t and she’s having fun which is what Hip Hop should be. Word up! Okay, my kids… They were right.”
Meanwhile, all three artists formed part of the grand tribute to hip-hop at the awards ceremony, which celebrated the genre’s 50th anniversary. These remarks actually fit quite well within that context, as generations come together to celebrate each other’s greatness and importance in the game. After a lot of discussion in the 2010s decade about the old guard against the new, it’s great to see them in a more respectful and appreciative space. Regardless, come back to HNHH for the latest news and updates on Method Man and GloRilla.
