Nina Nicole is back with some super heat for these streets!!! She represents what I expect to see out of a Boss Chick! Originally from Cleveland, but now residing in Houston…I can definitely see the growth! Plus the dope features on this album is what does it for me…PERIOD!
PAPOOSE – ENDANGERED SPECIES
Keep running the numbers up on my new album! I appreciate your support. Click here https://t.co/87LniS8Hhd
I can not lie…It has been ages since I checked in out any Papoose album. Not saying that his music isn’t worth the listen…it just wasn’t my thing, but for those who do love his music…this album will be the shit for you guys! Papoose definitely reminds everyone that outside of his famous wife, he is someone to not play with.
Trey Songz never seems to let me down when it comes to his music. I mean literally since day 1! I love this albums whole cadence as well as how smoothly it moves on to the next track. He calls this album “Back Home” , and I hope that means he’s back to being a great artist and person all around. Stay proving the haters wrong Trey!
First off, I want to say RIP to Famous Dex’s mother, Diana. I think he did a good album especially since it’s dedicated to his deceased mom. I love the features as well as the production that honestly always comes thru on every project Dex drops.
CASSIDY – DA SCIENCE
Fuck a record deal Labels on some slave master shit But if you owe your own masters You ain’t got ask for shit !!! #DaHustla New Album out now in all platforms ! Support the real ! All from the muscle 💪🏾 #DaScience 🐐 pic.twitter.com/wYB3F43Sza
Yea…like what he said! Cassidy still been on his flow little did people know, he was just waiting for the right time to BLOW!!! I am glad that he sticking to his craft, and came out with a dope project that gets better as each track plays.
Hey guys do not forget to go to your favorite podcast channel to listen to me…Tina with the Tea…every Tuesday!! There’s new content available now!
Today’s New Music Fridays will be dedicated to my aunt Debbie. She lost her fight with cancer last week #fuckcancer…..My aunt always told me to not only believe in myself, but to believe in my dreams as well. She was such a positive soul who will definitely be missed.
Welcome to the month of October new music releases:
This is a dope project! The production on this project was lit! This album keeps the energy on high, and coming out of Cleveland, Oh with a their own vibe that’s fun!
My boy 21 Savage is finally back with some heat for the streets!! Of course dope production by the one and only Metro Boomin just equates to a dope street project. If you are not familiar with the first installment of Savage Mode, maybe you need to catch up! I can honestly say that I got what I was expecting off this album. 21 21 21 LOL
Bryson Tiller is finally back with his sophomore album that is actually released on the same date as his first project! Bryson’s energy was missed…we need that Trap Soul in our lives!!!
YG always comes with some heat for the streets! This project has some dope tracks to bop your head too! I even peeped afeature from Lil Wayne too. If you ask me that’s a recipe for a dope project!
WESTSIDE GUNN – WHO MADE THE SUNSHINE
🆕 @WestsideGunn releases his debut studio album, Who Made the Sunshine.
If you are not a fan of those Griselda Boys…I have no idea where you have been at ALL year!! Westside Gunn is back finally dropping his first album, and making sure he gives us all the dope boy /mafia style we have been bumping to thus far! I can see him going far for the vibe Westside Gunn brings is something that’s missed!
THUTMOSE – BEST OF BOTH WORLDS SIDE A
Just dropped Side A of my two part EP Best of Both Worlds, for my day 1s, go stream it now and let me know what your fav is, I genuinely had fun experimenting and creating these songs 🔥🔥🖤🖤 https://t.co/JUku6lBCPI
The Queen, The Diva, The Legend, The Voice…the LADY…Mariah Carey is back with a project filled with songs that we have never heard before. I’m talking going back to 1990 to present. Mind you it’s a fresh breath of air to listen to REAL singing coming thru your speakers. Mariah also has a new book that was just released this week as well that I do plan on reading over the weekend. As I get older, I totally appreciate seeing the evolvement of such a talented artist as time goes on.
Alicia Keys is back with another great production also known as her 7th album! The #1 artist of the millennium continues with her formula of motivational songs, stories of love, and regular day to day observations. I love to see Alicia on these charts for she is a breath of fresh air to this music game. Literally a representation of when your actual talent is the reason for everything. No, this album does not compare to my favorite album “The Diary of Alicia Keys”, but this album is definitely one that will be on the Top 10 charts!Alicia made sure to enlist dope features for this project like Tierra Whack, Miguel, Khalid, Jill Scott, and others.
Shy Glizzy is back with another dope ass project to vibe to. I admit that I had gotten used to the Shy Glizzy that I first heard back in 2013, but I can say that Shy Glizzy stays making dope music that everyone can vibe to. This 3rd installment of “Young Jefe” has some dope features including Meek Mill, Jeremih, Ty Dolla Sign, G Herbo, and others. Trust me when I say that by the time you get to track 5 the album turns up!
Being the 1st lady of Griselda Records means that Armani Caesar has alot of weight on her shoulders, but what I like about her….she has her own lane, just like the rest of the artist under that label are. I truly love the album cover, Elizabeth Taylor was a different type of classic beauty that seemed to be priceless, and Armani is letting everyone know that she is something special to this game. This dope ass project has features from Westside Gunn, Conway The Machine, and Benny The Butcher.
Lil Tecca came hard for his first project! Literally almost every song on this project is an official bop forreal!! I am looking forward to what the future holds for him. Tecca enlisted dope ass features from Polo G, Lil Durk, Nav, Lil Uzi Vert, Internet Money, and more!
Moneybagg Yo and Blac Youngsta were supposed to release they own projects, but at the last minute decided to turn things to a collaboration! Hey…why not?? They’re both on Yo Gotti’s label, as well as from different parts of Memphis, Tennessee, and both are favorites amongst the Hip Hop crowd. This project got some dope tracks that are some true bops and with features from Ari, 42 Dugg, Yo Gotti, City Girls, DaBaby, and others is guaranteed to keep this project on repeat!
Cleveland, Ohio legend and one of the dopest rappers from the most talented rap group, Bone Thugs N Harmony, Bizzy Bone, is back with another project that is such a vibe! No features of course, but when you are Bizzy Bone, you can hold your own on any project! If you do not believe me please check your facts!!! This is a dope ass project overall!
Skippa Da Flippa always come with that heat and he stays very consistent! This project got bops starting from track 1 to the end. Too bad this project is only an Ep!!! It makes you want to hear more LOL
Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think that we would be blessed with some original gangsta music from Mc Eiht!!! This is a super dope project, and the features are too LIT, including B-Real, Conway The Machine, Kokane, Dave East, Talib Kweli, Yukmouth, and more og’s in this rap game!! This project here…is definitely a must listen….ON MY MAMA!!!!
This artist did exactly what I expected from him…to give me some good energy!! This whole project is dope af! From features with Eric Bellinger, Mysonne, 38 Spesh, Jim Jones, and more….plus great lyrical flow that makes sense. Grafh can’t go wrong with this project at all!!
Problem is always causing a damn problem releasing dope ass music that I just feel so addicted to! This project is consistent with volume 1, but what I am noticing is that every one of these artists are using their platform to speak against the injustice and abuse Black Americans have been going through especially in 2020. Problem made sure to speak on his thought from this year and I feel him. Of course Problem had to enlist some dope artist to partake in his vision including Tyrese, Jack Harlow, Jay Rock, Freddie Gibbs, Snoop Dogg and more!
I can’t tell you guys a time that Curren$y came weak on a project. With production from Harry Fraud, this album is definitely a must listen. Usually Curren$y does not use too many features, but I see for this project he went IN! Features including: Trippie Redd, Snoop Dogg, Styles P, and Larry June….I instantly got excited. This whole project is nothing but a vibe that I will say please check it out!!!
Hey guys!!! Please make sure to check out my new podcast Tina with the Tea where I give out nothing but that sweet tea for ya soul!! New episodes posted every Tuesday on all major podcast platforms!
What’s up Goodies!!! I am back with another week filled of New Music Releases to check out! I am so excited this week for there are some major artist releases today PLUS a last album for one of our greatest lyricists as well as a newbie whose project already has Twitter going dumb crazy over her lyrics!
Also make sure to tune in to my new segment on Cream’s World podcast titled “Tina with the Tea”!! Yes, Goodies…I usually go by Mz Slimgoody, buuuutttt that’s like my alter ego while “Tina with the Tea” is more of my transparant self! I always knew the tea rather if I spoke on it or not, and now I am actually telling it. Please check it out on 216 The Beat’s Youtube channel, make sure to subscribe and comment!!!! Someone told me before to start putting out new content, and I did!
Sooooooo….are you guys ready to get your TGIF on?? LET’S GO!!!!!!!!!!
MICHAEL AND THE INFLUENCE – DRUG DEALERS DREAM FOR THE UNITITATED
Who does 10 years in jail to come back out with a podcast, dope ass project, and repping from the south east side of Cleveland, OH??? This guy right here named Michael! I particularly enjoyed all of the tracks on his project, but only 5 are my favorites. With only 12 tracks on this project…that is not bad at all! This is a must listen project…I don’t know what he has planned but i think that if he decides to stay in this music game, I think he will last for a long time. Congratulations Mike!!
LOGIC – NO PRESSURE
Officially announcing my retirement with the release of “No Pressure” executive produced by No I.D. July 24th…
It’s been a great decade. Now it’s time to be a great father.
So Logic decided that this will be his last album. He says that now it’s time to be a father, and I not only understand that but I commend him for making that sacrifice! Will he stay retired from the game? Ummmm…per past references like, Jay-Z and Master P, who have a made so called last albums to turn right around and make another album. This album by Logic is so strategically done. You will hear some samples that will make you bob your head and just vibe to his music. Overall, I wish Logic and his family the best!
TAYLOR SWIFT – FOLK LORE
In isolation my imagination has run wild and this album is the result. I’ve told these stories to the best of my ability with all the love, wonder, and whimsy they deserve. Now it’s up to you to pass them down. folklore is out now: https://t.co/xdcEDfithq
At times you have credit where credit is due, and Taylor Swift is that woman. She returns with an album telling more stories of love, heartbreak, and motivational thoughts that everyone will relate to. We must always give flowers to those are still living.
Mannnn…..SHOUT OUT TO MY LADIES!!!!! 2020 may not be the best year but it sure is breeding some of the baddest chicks coming into this rap game! They making sure to shut mouths up while still looking like the sweetest snacks EVER!!!! I bet Flo Milli will be here for a while!!
SADA BABY – BARTIER BOUNTY 2
Detroit favorite Sada Baby releases his new mixtape ‘Bartier Bounty 2.’
We are back for another week of new music to listen to! Last weeks list of new music was soooo lit, especially with the unexpected release of the City Girls album, and Teyana Taylor’s most anticipated album that I truly love!
FYI…..Hit Or Miss Sundays will be returning back better than ever in July so stay tuned!!! Plus your girl just might be a co host on another show as well, look honey….women run the world!!
Before we get this week’s new music I have to sadly announce the untimely death of artist, Huey. Yall might know him better from his hot single “Pop, Lock, and Drop It” that came out in 2007. Goodies, make sure to keep his family in prayer please.
6lack always delivers!! Even though this is only an ep, all 6 tracks on this project are something special, and there’s a special feature on here too that I am not going to give away so CHECK IT OUT!!!
OMG! This album has me wanting to fly to Jamaica right damn now LOL I love this album. Everything blended together beautifully to create Buju’s first album since being released from jail. I truly love the feature with Stephen Marley as well!!
After listening to the first track I had to take a double look at G Eazy’s album again for this project sounds totally different that his last projects! This album feels like it’s his way to reflect on his life and the people in it.
AUGUST ALSINA – THE PRODUCT III: STATE OF EMERGENCY
August Alsina comes off as such a mature man especially for his age, but he might state that it’s due to experiencing a lot at an early age. August has one of those voices that make you believe everything he’s saying. This album is special for August…while dealing with a lot of adversity in his regular life he was able to still create a great piece of work.
Yungeen Ace always come with that heat for the streets! His lyrical skill is getting way better than where it was at when I first posted him 2 years ago.
88GLAM – NEW MANIA
‘NEW MANIA’ OUT NOW ! Thank yall for waiting love our fans and hope yall enjoy this project. RUN UP THE COMMENTS! 🎱✨ pic.twitter.com/0NbcuFuXIl
This soundtrack right here….this right here BANGS!!!! If y’all aren’t hip to the artist IDK stop what you doing right now and go listen to his previous projects! The features are lit, the album starts off giving you the anticipation of a lituation. While writing this I was only on the 6th song, and still no complaints.
I can not lie…I am shocked that this album is that good! I thought she was and R&B singer LOL This lil cutey has some real lyrical flow and with those dope ass beats she rapping on match her and her tone really well. You can play this project from the beginning to the end.
It’s Happy Juneteenth and here in Ohio it’s considered as a paid holiday, but I know all of us Black Americans will be in celebration all day! Why?? Juneteenth was the day Black Americans were declared totally free from slavery. To get more information in regards to this day of celebration click on the post that Barack Obama posted in regards to Juneteenth!
Juneteenth has never been a celebration of victory, or an acceptance of the way things are. It's a celebration of progress. It's an affirmation that despite the most painful parts of our history, change is possible––and there is still so much work to do.https://t.co/5XCRdnk3iR
Also, in celebration of Juneteenth there will also be a special Verzuz battle between the talented Alicia Keys and the soulful, John Legend, who has a new project that I will be featuring today as well! I am too anxious to see this tonight! I am an Alicia Keys fan baby!!!!
Now let’s get started with NEW MUSIC FRIDAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BLACK EYED PEAS – TRANSLATION
Thank you to @JBALVIN, @maluma, @ozuna, @shakira, @NickyJamPR, and to all of our collaborators for welcoming us into your world with open arms, and for allowing us to contribute to Latin culture 🙏 TRANSLATION is out now. Link in bio to listen ❤️ pic.twitter.com/uPC3k9S5fj
This album will have you dancing thinking you are on an island with a cool refreshing drink in one hand the whole time!
JOHN LEGEND – BIGGER LOVE
I’m so excited to introduce my new album #BiggerLove to the world. Here’s the album cover painted by brilliant artist Charly Palmer. Check out the track list, including my amazing featured guests. pic.twitter.com/nWu6Y2JhRH
Ohio native John Legend has finally dropped an album that isn’t a Christmas albums!!! I can guarantee that you guys will be overly satisfied with his results, especially with everything going on these days. It’s a blessing to be reminded of Black excellence! Don’t forget to check out John Legend tonight on Instagram LIVE doing a special Verzuz battle with Alicia Keys!!!
— TEYANA M.J. SHUMPERT (@TEYANATAYLOR) June 19, 2020
Teyana Taylor finally came thru with a well organized album with dope unexpected ass features with a beautiful voice as well!! I love how she keeps her music very transparent with her life, example, the intro is the original 911 recording of when she gave birth to her daughter at home. Only Teyana can provide that type of style with her music without giving out too much of her life. I enjoy artists who can turn their life stories into art, and create a vibe that no other artist is doing currently. I see why Charlamagne, from the Breakfast Club, says that she is an underrated artist, but I think after this…she might finally gets what she been deserved a few years ago. Congratulations Teyana!!!
If y’all didn’t know…I love me some Wale, I mean his music that is LOL It’s been 10 years and he’s in this game to stay while providing some of the best music that’s being played on radio stations every where. This project will leave you feening for more, but this will do for the moment.
Ive been waiting for Detriot native, Tee Grizzley, to drop another project. It seems like it’s been forever since the last project, but if yo ear stays close to the streets, you will know that Tee Grizzley had quite a few misfortunes happen within the last couple of years! Now he’s pouring out his stress on this dope ass project. I think Tee Grizzley is underrated, but once he gets his mind right he’ll be back to making hits!!!
What’s funny is that even if Eric Bellinger didnt drop a project today he still will recvieve credit for his work on Teyana Taylor album and on Wale’s new album. Eric comes ready to make those panty dropper songs as well as songs to keep you motivated such as “Mamba Mentality”.
Sooooo…the word on the street is that someone leaked the City Girl’s singles from off there at the time forthcoming album. In response to the leaks the City Girls, chose to beat the haters and released the project last night. I’m actually glad they did because what is a summer without the City Girls?? I be needing to stay uplifted on my ratchedness, and they constantly fulfill that request for me LOL I swear I will bumping this album ALL weekend even tho it’s Father’s Day weekend, and of course I will be gifting my babydaddy a special gift. I’ll also be shaking dat ass while taking notes on how not to deal with these broke/cheap boys!!!
Hey Goodies!!! It’s New Music Fridays!!!!!!!!!!! My aplogies for not making a post last week…with everything going on for the #blacklivesmatter movement, I just didnt have the energy to celebrate any new releases. I want justice for those who have died due to the police brutality, and I am hoping that people of color will be able to see some type of change very soon.
This week of new releases is still lower than usual but the quality of what is being released is at a 10. The sisters, Chloe and Halle, founded by Beyonce, released a new project that sounds very mature from the last. I admit sometimes I stray away from the teeny boppy music even if they have superior vocals, I tend to go towards more adultish vibes. LOL Chloe and Halle project creates a nice vibe and literally had me anxious to hear what might be considered something in the “Ungodly Hour“. From cheating men issues to going on and getting tipsy to feeling lonely and overwhelmed, Chloe and Halle, allow you to come into their world showing their fans that they go through the same things too!
Norah Jones soulful voice is what I needed to hear during these uncertain times. Her voice gives me so much settled peace and understanding. While checking out page to seen what’s been up with the beautiful singer lately, I see she has been doing concerts at her home on live. Not only is that a great idea for artists and entertainers to do while in the midst of the Covid-19. Pick Me Off The Floor does not disappoints, it actually gives me what I need, it’s something that touches my soul!
RMR – DRUG DEALING IS A LOST ART
Can’t get back to right Destroyed her paradise you see it in her eyes trust was her only vice. Brought up to be queen. She knows no other way. There’s the pride you see. She lov’d but can’t forgive – SILENCE https://t.co/GLRAmYhbxX
I truly love how he tells stories!! It makes you want to hear more, and this project has some of the dopest features included! This is definitely worth a few listens!!
What’s up my Goodies!!! Yesterday was my 28th birthday for the 2nd time, and ya girl kept it very simple which turned out to be a great birthday. It’s now officially Gemini season and this is the season when everything is LIT!! Thankfully I am off to enjoy this holiday weekend with my family and loved ones, and I hope the same goes for you guys as well!!!
Now let’s get into this new music!!!
Gunna finally drops his sophmore album, that according to him, is showing more of his “other” side, his alter ego….to explain this best…Gunna is a lovely Gemini, and Gemini is known for duality, the twins, two personas, the best sign ever etc LOL What’s funny is on a few songs I did see the difference like on “Dollaz on My Head” featuring Young Thug that felt like a totally different Gunna. Now do I believe that this album can take the #1 spot…umm..I dont know, but I do believe that he will come very close! While I only listened to the album once..maybe after I play it for a few times I will find myself having his album on repeat. LOL
Westcoast artist, Bino Rideaux, is out with a fresh project that I can guarantee will have you vibing to it all weekend. I enjoy how Bino rides the beat while telling a story that will keep you very attentive wanting to expect more from him especially during a time when the feeling of going outside sounds so tempting but risky all together. This dope project has features including: Mozzy and Fredo Bang.
Skooly is an artist whose music I will always anticipate! He always delivers regardless if he’s giving you a hard flow or preaching about some real shit. This new project not only has a dope ass cover giving us an Adams Family feel to it. What’s funny is, for Skooly to be an artist from Atlanta…he does not sound like the majority of artists who came from there. Tay Keith, Lil Baby, and 2 Chainz will have you bopping your head to this on repeat!!
There’s an artist that I totally feel like gets better and better every time I hear a new project from him, and that’s Key Glock! Not only does his music be bunkin but he has a flow that makes him stand out from any other Memphis artist. It’s cool that Young Dolph not only cosigns him they also did an album together too as well, but Key Glock can honestly hold his own. I bet that his name will still be ringing bells in the next couple of years!
This is my first time listening to artist Kota The Friend and I am pleasantly surprised!! He’s an artist who has a dope lyrical flow rhyming on top of dope beats as well!! I believe Kota is an artist who will be around for awhile especially if he stays this fly!
HONORABLE MENTION: STYLES P, TAY KEITH & FAST CASH BOYZ
Hello my goodies!!! It’s another great week of new music releases that I have checked out and provided my thoughts of them so your listening experience can be LIT!!
DaBaby‘s new project is an example of a project thats not mediocre. His project is the biggest debut this week. The songs on this album are more organized and go together way better than the last album. He has features including Ashanti, Megan Thee Stallion, Roddy Ricch & etc. Overall DaBaby is putting on for his city of Charlotte, NC.
If you are in to that gritty hard lyrical New York flow type of music, Westside Gunn is your guy! I love his BOOM BOOM BOOM adlibs, it adds that extra flavor to his music that truly keeps my attention. With features from the likes of Tyler, The Creator and others will keep you vibing to this project all day.
This is my first ever listening to anything made by DVSN, and I have no complaints! Initially I assumed the artist was a female due to the title of they project, but actually its two guys with very calming voices singing about a female who is their muse, but is going through her own personal issues. As a woman, I can agree that yes, we do go through our emotional ups & downs. This dope album has features with PARTYNEXTDOOR, Jessie Reyez and even Buju Banton. I guarantee that this album is a must listen while chilling in the house during this quarantine time. Fredo Bang‘s new project is literally something that has some BOP in it. Executive produced by Moneybagg Yo and with features from Lil Baby, YNW Melly, Tee Grizzley, as well as Moneybagg Yo, you can’t go wrong for just taking one moment to check this project out. Fredo Bang can hang on his own though, like on the single “Yo Slime”.
HONORABLE MENTION FOR THE WEEK…The-Dream, Kenny Mason, Trev Rich, YFN Lucci
Instead of just sitting still, check out these new releases! Me, I had my own listening session while working from home, even my kids listened to a few of the new tracks from Dua Lipa, who I think is one of there favorite artists. Partynextdoor dropped his album FINALLY, and it doesn’t disappoint, but I suggest listening to it about 2 times before coming with your own perspective on the album. Keeping on with the vibe, Jessie Reyez, new project is really nice! I love how her voice sounds on all her songs, and features with Eminem and 6Black are dope too! Ari Lennox has me ready for a whole new album from her…she’s super dope and I love her voice as well!! Doja Cat’s rap on the “BMO” remix is too lit!!
My honorable mentions for this week are: Jessie Reyez, 42 Dugg, Partnextdoor, and Joyner Lucas.
Make sure to stay tuned for Hit Or Miss Sundays THIS Sunday!!!!
