The post Best New Songs of the Week appeared first on Hot Pop Today.
]]>This week has been pretty epic for hip-hop collaborations, starring with B.G. and Gucci Mane’s new album Choppers & Bricks, which produced the song “Talk”.
Nicki Minaj teamed up with Monica and Keyshia Cole for “Love Me Enough”, a bonus track featured on a deluxe edition of her latest album Pink Friday 2. “Lace It” by the late Juice WRLD, Eminem, and Benny Blanco also made the cut, along with Bas’s “Home Alone” feat. J. Cole.
Speaking of epic collaborations that hit the shelves this week, none of them created more buzz than Reneé Rapp & Megan Thee Stallion’s “Not My Fault”. They both channeled their inner Regina George in this catchy bop, set to be featured in the upcoming Mean Girls musical remake.
Check out the rest of our list for this week, and get ready to discover new music by Lil Baby, Karol G, John Legend, James Arthur, and more.

]]>The post Gucci Mane Drops Third Album in 2019 appeared first on Hot Pop Today.
]]>This new album serves as the third installment in Mane’s East Atlanta Santa series. The first entry was the same-titled mixtape from 2014, while the sequel came in 2016 with The Return of East Atlanta Santa.
East Atlanta Santa 3 contains 16 new songs and features guest appearances from Rich The Kid, Quavo, Asian Doll, Jason Derulo, and Kranium. The production was handled by Mane himself, who served as an executive producer, alongside Da Honorable, Doughboy, Metro Boomin, Murda Beatz, and others.
The album was released in full on both Spotify and YouTube. Hear it below.
Besides releasing three albums in 2019, Gucci Mane is reportedly planning another studio release soon. Back in the summer, Mane teamed up with Lil Pump and Smokepurpp to form up supergroup Gucci Gang. The group performed at Coachella and is working on a full-length album, according to Smokepurpp.

]]>The post Gucci Mane Announces “Woptober 2,” His Second Project in 2019 appeared first on Hot Pop Today.
]]>Mane recently announced on social media that he will be releasing his new mixtape Woptober 2 on October 17th. This will presumably be the sequel to 2016’s mixtape Woptober.
While the rapper hasn’t revealed any track or further details about the album, he did share the cover. Check it out below.
Gucci Mane presented Delusions of Grandeur in January, and the record was met with positive reviews from the critics. It debuted at No.7 on the US Billboard 200 while charting in several other countries of the world including Canada and Australia. The album featured appearances from numerous high-profile music acts including A Boogie wit da Hoodie, Wiz Khalifa, Rick Ross, Meek Mill, Justin Bieber, and many more.
Mane also worked on several other projects this year, including forming the supergroup Gucci Gangs. The group, which consists of him, Lil Pump, and Smokepurpp, performed at Coachella and reportedly might release an EP in the future.

]]>The post Wiz Khalifa’s “Rolling Papers 2” Isn’t a Masterpiece, But It’s Also Not Horrible appeared first on Hot Pop Today.
]]>When it comes to Wiz, nothing is strictly black or white; there is always a little bit of gray. Same goes for this absurdly long album with 25 songs, featuring names like Gucci Mane, Snoop Dogg, Swae Lee and Ty Dolla $ign. The record isn’t a masterpiece, nor is it horrible. It is a monotonous Wiz rapping about weed, women, and fame.
That being said, the album still offers a handful of uplifting songs and moments, provided you have the luxury of sifting through 90 minutes of Khalifa Kush.
Thankfully, the production on the album is high end, and we expected nothing less from an elite team of producers including Mike Will Made It, TM88, Young Chop, Sledren and Cardo, I.D. Labs and legendary Easy Mo Bee.
When it comes to beats, the album offers variety needed for each song to be unique. However, there is little difference in content, apart from “B Ok,” where Wiz addresses the death of his sister and his relations with ex-wife Amber Rose.
Other songs that stand out on Rolling Papers 2 are the ones with featured artists. As if featuring makes Wiz try harder and shift up a notch from his mellow style. “Real Rich,” featuring Gucci, is one of the better songs and is simply too catchy to miss. Wiz has a great flow on the track and tunes in nicely with the beat. Unfortunately, it lasts only two minutes which is short for a groundbreaking hit and offers little lyrical content to be a classic. “Penthouse,” with the rap legend Snoop Dogg, is another example of excellent featuring.
Most songs sound effortless in general, with no real meaning and lots of autotune, as if Wiz did this album just because he could. If you view this album as a lyrical masterpiece, you would be wrong. If you see Rolling Papers 2 as a mainstream trap rap album, you would be wrong. If you are a fan of Wiz bangers, you will find some but not nearly as you would’ve liked. That being said, the album is not good or bad and can pass as mediocre. We know Wiz can do better.
