Roc Nation’s Brooklyn Rapper HDBeenDope Unleashes Extended EP Release of What Can They Say

Brooklyn rapper HDBeenDope is releasing the extended version of his debut Roc Nation What Can They Say EP. Continuing the partnership with producer Dizzy Banko, the extended EP brings explosive new features from Harlem rapper Fergie Baby and Bronx breakout star Connie Diiamond. Playfully teased with a LeBron and 2Chainz inspired announcement, the extended project unites lead figures from each corner and boroughs across New York City to pay homage to HD’s east coast roots and the 50th anniversary of hip hop.
Through his intricate storytelling and skilled lyricism HD has distinguished a unique sound for himself that stands out from the high-energy drill scene dominating New York.
The most recent single from the extended EP, “Can’t Get Rid of Me” taps Harlem rapper Fergie Baby, for a high-energy flow between the duo, punctuated with teasing ad-libs as he warns “I’m back” and the game “can’t get rid of me.” The accompanying visual for the collaborative track extends the homage HD pays to New York through styling easter eggs nodding to DMX, curated visual choices from Bronx designer, Thalia Hernandez, and more.
Today’s drop includes lead single “Happening” featuring Bronx rapper Connie Diiamond. The rapper gives fans a deeper look into his struggle with relationships while pursuing his dreams of breaking through the music industry.
“We had to continue building on the energy we created with the first version of the project, I had a lot more sitting in the vault.” says HDBeenDope “Here we go, four more songs coming straight out of the streets of New York.”
This week, HDBeenDope hosted a pop up in Manhattan’s Bowery Showroom with a surprise performance that featured Fergie Baby and Connie Diiamond in celebration of the extended release.
HDBeenDope continues to build on the insurmountable success of his Roc Nation debut with lead track, “Mamba” from 2022’s What Can They Say EP which has quickly grown to become an anthem celebrated and shared by the industry’s elite, such as actress Tia Mowry, NBA Miami Heat player Jimmy Butler, Kansas Chief Quarterback and Super Bowl Winner Patrick Mahomes, LeBron James, major networks like ESPN, and sports stadiums nationwide. HD’s early standout single “Locked In” has quickly become a viral sensation after its initial tease onTikTok which continues to amass millions of views.
This extended project release marks the culmination of the rapper’s massively successful discography which includes 2021’s Side A: The Preface featuring multi-platinum producer Earl On The Beat (Megan Thee Stallion, Migos, Lil Yachty), single release “Top,” which was featured in Madden NFL 21, and 2020’s BrokeN Dreams featuring hit single “Die With Me” which cultivated critical acclaim from HYPEBEAST, DJBooth, XXL.

Tymain Robbins Drops LP ‘Fashionably Late’

Fans of artists like J. Cole, Nas, and Jay-Z should find solace in Tymain Robbins. The North Carolina emcee debuts his album ‘Fashionably Late’ after years of not releasing a body of work. However over the years with multiple viral freestyles including a series of BET collaborations, a dope take on a Chance The Rapper record, and a TDE shoutout on Twitter.
The overall LP is based on a diverse amount of topics coming from the words of Tymain himself. The tracks that are the focus on this project are “Fashionably Late,” “Denim Tears,” and “Endless Possibilities.” “Fashionably Late” is about coming back after a hiatus and being better than ever due to the amount of work you put in over the off-season. “Denim Tears” plays on the title of the project, is filled with confidence and this song is about the embodiment of everything in your genes. “Endless Possibilities” is about overcoming adversity and finding strength within ourselves. It’s one of those, “if I can do it, so can you” records.

Radamiz Releases New Single “The Monk’s Ferrari”

BK spitter Radamiz readies fans and critics alike ahead of his forthcoming album El Duende! with the Verde Madera-produced collaboration “The Monk’s Ferrari.” The brand new track follows the FifthGod-directed visual for the NYC natives Dom McLennon & Wiki-assisted cut “Big Pharma,” taken off his well-received Gnashing, Teeth project, and successfully sets the tone for future supporting singles.
“This is the first song Verde Madera and I are releasing together after building a 10-year friendship. The title comes from a book that was at our AirBnB in Topanga called The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari. Verde had just made those two beats the morning I showed up and when I heard them, we decided to merge them before I added my vocals. I knew we had something special immediately. Verde was also the graphic designer for my last 3-song EP 3 Days Outside Your Body, so it really all is serendipitous,” says the talented lyricist in an exclusive press statement given to Medium Creative Agency.
If the soul could be translated, its imprint pressed into wax or reverberated through speakers, Bedstuy-born wordsmith Radamiz is the kind of artist who would dedicate himself to the pursuit of such a legacy. Radamiz is from the New York City borough of Brooklyn where his music, an effervescent mix of sensitive poetic musings and the braggadocious wanderings of an expansive mind, leaves no philosophical stone unturned. Yet for all his complex inner musings, the 30-year-old’s true gift is his ability to see himself in others, and then translate the unspoken dreams, fears, failures, victories, and a litany of other emotions that swirl together to create the human experience.
Press play on “The Monk’s Ferrari” below via your DSP of choice, compliments of Big Enough Home / STEM, and follow Radamiz on IG.
