Added on January 24, 2025 inEntertainment News Cards

When it comes to music writing, some might say you can’t spell “passion” without “E-L-I-A-S.” Seriously! Elias Andrews, our resident beat-chronicler over at HotNewHipHop, is a masterful navigator of the wild seas of the music industry. Joining HNHH during the chaotic times of 2024, he’s quickly made a name for himself, whether he’s diving headfirst into the lyrical sparring between titans like Drake and Kendrick Lamar or chronicling the flood of scandals surrounding figures like Diddy. And let’s face it—who wouldn’t want to dissect the verbal gymnastics of “Family Matters” and “Meet the Grahams”?

But it’s not all just beats and rhymes for Elias. With an eclectic taste that runs the gamut from the genius of Andre 3000 to the quirky brilliance of Tyler, The Creator, his insights are as refreshing as a cold drink on a summer day. Oh, and did I mention his first purchased album was Big Willie Style? Talk about a nostalgia trip! So, pull up a chair—if you’re not a fan of L.A. sports teams like him, don’t worry, he won’t hold it against you—and let’s dig into the world through the ears of Elias, who proves that the only thing more unpredictable than the music industry is his playlist!
