Don’t get it twisted. Although Jermaine is currently overseas warming up the crowd for Drizzy, Fayettenam’s finest can hold his own. Earlier this evening, J.Cole performed his first London solo gig at the KOKO. Clap for him. hhcUK
Off the success of “Black & Yellow”, Stargate links up with Wiz again for a brand new joint. No word where this is going to end up, but this one doesn’t sound bad at all. Lighters up y’all. 2db
You might remember this track being Drizzy’s opening ballad from what was going to be his R&B mixtape. Turns out that the track might belong to Jeremih, but it’s still with an empty verse for now. We should find out soon enough. hhc
Not the type of ham we were expecting, but Joc continues to drop new tracks and here is the latest with Radric. Previously released with tags, but Hip Hop Connection comes through without ’em. kingz
It’s been awhile since we’ve seen these three around these parts, but they plan to bring the Mania with their next mixtape. Until it arrives, here’s its first leak. Feel free to fucking sing along. Bonus: “Let Loose”
Like they did the previous night, Drake and J.Cole performed at Hammersmith Apollo in UK earlier this evening and above Drizzy brings out Florence from indie rock band Florence & The Machine for TML‘s opening track. tsm
Like Bron Bron, Chris, Neef and Meek Mill take their talents down to South Beach in their new video. Off Chris & Neef’s latest mixtape, Back To Business.
Who’s up for a Rinaj-a-trois? I know I am, but the next video off Pink Friday will do and here’s our first look from the set.
Back like they never left? Sure sounds like it. Crispy and clean indeed. nr UPDATE: Official artwork via hhnm.
Aubrey and Jermaine brought their European tour to the Hammersmith Apollo in London earlier this evening and of course Hip Hop Chronicle were present to capture Drizzy’s set as well as J.Cole’s “Who Dat”. International baby.
This one still holds up as a smooth, R&B-leaning Drake cut — the vocal melody is what sticks with me most. It also got me thinking about how short music clips travel now: a single photo can become a whole dance moment. I recently tried Dime Dime Baby AI Video Generator, which turns one photo into a 15-second vertical dance video with the original music for TikTok and Reels (https://dime-dime-baby-ai.video/). Fun way to give an old favorite a new visual life.
