Husbands and wives tend to make a habit of whose parental responsibilities are more challenging. It’s tough to tell who would struggle more if the roles were reversed.
For Halloween, Logic and his wife Brittney took that sentiment to the next level, dressing up as each other.
In Logic’s Instagram post from yesterday, he and his wife are shown rocking each other’s usual fits to celebrate Halloween. Logic, looking as glamorous as ever, poses in a blonde wig, Sesame Street themed crop top and high-waisted biker shorts with a purse while Brittney gives a mean mug in the classic sporty jumpsuit and baseball cap that Logic has been known to wear.
He announced that his departure from rap was fueled by his motivation to be a good father and pay attention to his newfound family. He helped to keep the flow of income for his family by inking an unprecedented deal with Twitch soon after the release of No Pressure.
However, a year and one week later, Logic ousted his retirement on July 30 by dropping Bobby Tarantino III, completing his famed mixtape series trilogy.
Although he has made his return to music, it is welcoming to see he still finds time to tend to family matters, evident in the joyful, humorous Halloween performance by him and his wife.
Did Logic and Brittney have the best couple costume this Halloween?
When Vallejo, CA rapper LaRussell stopped by The Breakfast Club for a nine-minute freestyle back in September, he introduced the world to one of the most prolific catalogues in modern hip-hop.
In the last three months alone, LaRussell has dropped three projects, countless freestyles and “Again” a single with P-Lo and Bay Area legend, E-40.
Following up August’s Marlin 7 and Everbody Cooks, Everybody Eats, released in early October, LaRussell is already back with another project, this time delivering It’ll All Make Sense When It’s Done.
Taking to Twitter to reveal that the Skeyez-produced project was made entirely in one day, LaRussell maintains that It’ll All Make Sense In The End is some of his best work yet. Spitting over sample-heavy production spacious enough to leave room for every lyric to cut through, LaRusell makes the most of It’ll All Make Sense When It’s Done‘s eight-song tracklist and takes advantage of every second the project has to offer. With life experiences and positive messages woven into a web of seemingly-endless bars and clever references, It’ll All Make Sense When It’s Done is LaRussell at his best, and paints a perfect picture of what it’s like to be an independent rapper right on the edge of making it big.
Tracklist 1. What’s Left 2. D’evils 3. Premonitions 4. Spice Girls 5. On My Grave 6. Smoke & Mirrors 7. Earl Grey 8. Hall of Fame

After competing against Adult Swim’s very strong stable of animated voice talent, Tracy Morgan has emerged as the new voice of Early Cuyler in the final season of Squidbillies. The role was originally voiced by Stuart D. Baker, who essentially detonated his career last summer by launching a parade of offensive posts on Facebook, including one where he referred to country music superstar Dolly Parton as a “freak-titted, old Southern bimbo” because she voiced her support for the Black Lives Matter protests.
After being fired from the role, Baker lashed out at Cartoon Network and the makers of Squidbillies while continuing to make some not great remarks about Americans “forsaking your own race.” Via The Wrap:
“I just hope you a-holes are happy you took a good Man and talent down. You succeeded. Be proud that you ruined a person’s life all because of [the] Freak Show called ‘Dolly Parton and BLM.’ Thanks a lot. I gave my best to you assholes for over 30 years. I guess you just love to kick someone when they’re down. That’s so twisted and perverted. Again, thanks! I’m [sic] remember you bastards!”
Clearly, nothing of value was lost as Morgan steps into the role, which was revealed via a video of other voice actors auditioning for the part. When he won, Morgan celebrated the moment by announcing, “I’m Tracy Morgan, and I’m the new voice of Superman.” (He’ll eventually get it right. It’ll be cool.)
The Squidbillies final season premieres November 7 on Adult Swim.
Earlier today, the Tennessee Titans had a bombshell dropped on them as it was revealed that Derrick Henry would have to miss up to 10 weeks with a foot injury. In fact, Henry is going to be getting surgery on Tuesday morning, which pretty well confirms that he will have to miss at least two months of action.
The Titans immediately began to work fast following the news as they looked for running backs to sign with the team. It was eventually reported that the Titans were going to host a workout for Adrian Peterson, who hasn’t played a snap since January of 2021. This was good news for the Titans, and now, it looks like he’s won himself a spot with the team.

According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, Peterson has signed to the Titans and as it stands, he is simply a practice squad player. This is simply a formality as Peterson has reportedly been told that he will, indeed, be moved up to the regular roster in time for next week. Peterson’s inclusion on the team comes at a crucial time, and it will be interesting to see how well he can perform at 36 years old.
Let us know what you think of this signing, in the comments below. Also, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest updates from the NFL world.

Star Wars fans will be elated to hear that Disney has dropped off the trailer for its new The Mandalorian spin-off series, The Book of Boba Fett. The latest edition to the famous cinematic universe is expected to arrive on the streamer later this year, on December 29th.
The show was first teased during the end credit sequence of the Disney+ original, and later confirmed by executive producer Jon Favreau during a sit-down with Good Morning America at the end of 2020. The Book of Boba Fett will see Fennec Shand (played by Ming-Na Wen), a beloved bounty hunter and mercenary as she heads out on a journey traversing through the underworld.
Upon arrive in Tatoonie, Fennec and Boba Fett (played by Temuera Morrison) attempt to stake their claim on territory that was previously controlled by Jabba the Hutt.
According to The Direct, The Book of Boba Fett is rumoured to have nine episodes instead of the usual eight that viewers have become accustomed to when watching The Mandalorian. Shortly after the former wraps up its run, it won’t be long until Star Wars fans are fed once again, this time with the release of season three of the latter.
As if that wasn’t enough to be excited about, yet another spin-off, titled Ahsoka has been confirmed, and as Complex notes, original prequel trilogy star Hayden Christensen has signed on to reprise his role of Anakin Skywalker, better known to many as Darth Vader.
Check out the trailer for The Book of Boba Fett below, and look out or the new series on Disney+ this winter.
Donald Glover’s a man of few words but it appears that he’s still silently lurking social media, clocking the many comments being made about his career. Though he’s received nothing but praise for his many talents, Atlanta remains one of the most gripping series on television right now. The FX show debuted in 2016 with 10 episodes before a second season was released two years later. Fans have been waiting since 2018 for the release of a third.

Thankfully, we might be closer to its release than anyone expected. Glover made an incredibly rare appearance on social media last night where he shared a link leading to a website that debuted a brief teaser trailer for Season 3. Shots of Europe are shown with an eerie score before showing Paper Boy seated at a table.
While fans expressed their excitement about the show’s update, the show’s creator had a few things to get off of his chest. Glover shared two tweets that have since been deleted where he responded to the comparisons of Atlanta and Lil Dicky’s Dave. “And just for the record, I’m watching yall sayin ‘dave’ is on par. Like yall forgot what we did. No disrespect,” he tweeted before calling out those who’ve referred to him as a “sellout.”
Check out the deleted tweets below, as well as a few reactions.
This season has been quite fruitful for the Dallas Cowboys who are looking to get back into the playoffs after two straight years of missing the show. The team is 6-1 right now and after defeating the Vikings last night without Dak Prescott, the Cowboys feel as though they can defeat anyone in the league at pretty well anytime. It’s a good feeling to have, and if there is one player who is locked in, it’s Amari Cooper.
In fact, Cooper is feeling so good this season that he has decided to cop some lavish gifts for him and his offensive teammates. According to TMZ, Cooper purchased 15 different dog tags from Gabriel The Jeweler and they are all encrusted with diamonds.

Each tag has the player’s number on it and the word “DAWGZ” is also written at the top. Overall, it is a very interesting yet subtle look that cost Cooper a total of $120,000 which means each dog tag was a total of $8000. The dog tags were given to wide receivers, Dak Prescott, and even members of the training staff.
Cooper has copped some extravagant pieces in the past, and he always seems to be repping the Cowboys when he does so. Needless to say, this latest gesture is one that his teammates will appreciate.
Straight up, streetwear wouldn’t exist if it wasn’t for hip-hop. The two entities go hand-in-hand, pushing up against and off of one another in their steady quest to take over the world. That’s not hyperbole, streetwear and hip-hop have taken over the world. Hip-hop went from a niche genre that was written off as a fad in the late ’70s and early ’80s and blossomed into a phenomenon that has since influenced every other genre of American music (see autotune country) and become the dominant musical genre of cultural expression in America. Streetwear similarly went from being a niche fashion aesthetic to a world-dominating force in modern fashion. Whether you’re a small fashion label just getting started, or an iconic luxury house like Gucci or Louis Vuitton, if you’re not designing streetwear, you’re not connecting with the people.
Streetwear and hip-hop haven’t just been growing parallel to one another, they feed off of one another. Hip-hop provides the face, streetwear provides the look, and the two entities rely on one another to move product. So it shouldn’t come as a surprise that some of the best sneakers (arguably the emblem of streetwear itself) have a rapper’s name attached. In a celebration of hip-hop and streetwear, we’re running through the most important hip-hop sneaker collaborations of all time, starting with…
Adidas Superstar, 1986
Adidas
The Adidas Superstar is not technically a hip-hop sneaker collaboration, but because of Run-DMC’s hit single “My Adidas,” it felt wrong to start this list anywhere else. Make no mistake, a fresh white pair of Adidas Superstars with contrasting stark black stripes is a look wholly owned by Run-DMC Streetwear fans treat this sneaker silhouette and colorway as a stone-cold classic, and Adidas has “My Adidas” to thank for that.
The song’s video gave the world its first glimpse of hip-hop’s new look and from “My Adidas” on, the two entities have been in lock-step. The sneaker features a leather base with a shell toe cap, it’s one of Adidas’ oldest and best-selling sneaker silhouettes. Adidas would go on to let Run-DMC design their own version of the silhouette, but nothing beats the OG.
Nike Dunk High Wu-Tang, 1999
Nike
No other rap group quite understood the synergy between streetwear and hip-hop like the Wu-Tang Clan, who went off and started their very own successful streetwear label, Wu-Wear. In 1999 Nike tapped them with a special Friends And Family Only release of the high-top Nike Dunk.
The colorway was lifted from a set of sneakers celebrating different university sports teams, this black and gold iteration was meant to represent Iowa University, but since it shared a color scheme with the Wu-Tang logo, Nike slapped a W on the heel and tongue, and with that simple move created one of the most sought after sneakers of all time.
ICECREAM Dollars & Diamonds, 2003

Pharrell Williams doesn’t get enough credit for being lightyears ahead on seeing the linkage between not just hip-hop and streetwear, but the importance of Japanese designers to the medium. Streetwear wouldn’t be what it is today without the influence of Japan, and it was Pharrell who was smart enough to link up with cutting-edge designers like BAPE figurehead NIGO before anyone else. The result was his very own label, Billionaire Boys Club, and the brand sneaker brand ICECREAM.
Pharrell was the first rapper turned sneaker designer, and this pair Diamonds and Dollars silhouette was his attempt at fusing streetwear and skatewear into a single entity. It was a success, it signified a turning point in streetwear that would see the aesthetic completely absorb the world of skateboarding.
Air Jordan 4 Encore, 2004

When “My Adidas” and the Wu-Tang Dunks dropped, streetwear was still pretty niche, but by the mid-00s the fashion aesthetic started to hit the mainstream. When Eminem linked up with Nike for the Air Jordan Encore, named after Eminem’s album of the same name, people lost their minds. This shoe single-handedly created the modern sneakerhead.
It remains one of the most popular sneaker colorways of all time, fetching bids exceeding $20,000 on aftermarket sites like StockX and eBay. Nike will occasionally drop a refresh of this sneaker in very limited runs, so it’s still possible to own a pair without paying a fortune for it. Good luck.
BAPE Kanye West Bapesta College Dropout, 2007
Bapesta
Long before Kanye West had his own sneaker brand, and even before he started calling himself “Yeezy,” West linked up with Japanese streetwear label BAPE for the College Dropout version of the brand’s Bapesta sneaker silhouette. The sneaker features a tan and brown leather upper with red accents and a cartoon graphic of Kanye’s Dropout Bear character.
It’s been a while since we’ve seen the Dropout Bear, Ye ditched the mascot after the “Graduation Album” which was released the same year. It’s a reminder of a younger more playful Kanye and still to this day, a pretty dope design, even if it’s a far cry from what Kanye would design with his own Yeezy brand.
Odd Future x Vans Syndicate Old Skool Pro S Golf Wang Pack, 2013
Vans Syndicate
Pharrell combined the worlds of street skating and hip-hop, and out of that came Tyler The Creator’s Odd Future collective. Inspired by the sort of bright color palettes you’d expect out of a Wes Anderson movie and not what you’d find in a typical hip-hop music video (at the time) Tyler The Creator presented his dark strain of hip-hop with a juxtaposing visual aesthetic that forever changed the look of modern rap music.
Before Tyler The Creator, the idea of a rapper wearing a sneaker with a pink sole is something only Kanye West would do, but he didn’t. Tyler did, and this early collaboration with Vans eventually caught the eye of Converse, who swooped up Tyler and gave him his own sneaker line by the name of Golf Le Fleur.
Air Yeezy 2 SP Red October, 2014

Another Kanye West sneaker? Yes. If you can’t talk hip-hop without mentioning streetwear, you can’t talk about either without mentioning Kanye West. His presence will weigh heavily throughout this roundup. While his cultural status is not quite at the heights it was just seven years ago you can’t deny that the name Kanye West still holds a lot of weight amongst hip-hop fans and sneakerheads alike.
But before Kanye West put his stamp on the world of footwear with his Yeezy Brand, he tried things out with Nike. Ultimately, it didn’t work out (Nike didn’t want to give Ye as much creative control as he wanted) but 2014’s Air Yeezy Red Octobers were the first indication that people needed to take West the sneaker designer as seriously as they took West the hip-hop producer and rapper.
Even today, it’s impossible not to fall in love with this all-over scarlet red colorway. Just look at the thing! Tell us you don’t want a pair.
Air Jordan 12 White OVO, 2016
Jordan Brand
Drake hasn’t had quite the same level of success attaching his name to sneakers as his contemporaries, but the Jordan 12 White OVOs is one of the finest colorways the sneaker has ever seen in its entire run, and it has Drake to thank for that. There is nothing special about this sneaker, Drake didn’t offer up any radical suggestions for a re-design, but what it presents is a highly effective colorway that exudes luxury and class thanks to its mix of white leather and gold accent work.
You can hardly tell Drake has anything to do with the sneaker, and that’s kind of its strength.
Adidas Yeezy BOOST 700 Wave Runner, 2017
Yeezy Brand
We can’t overstate just how important Kanye West’s name is to the world of sneakers. It’s arguably just as big as Michael Jordan’s, so we couldn’t finish this list without talking about West’s label with Adidas, Yeezy Brand. By 2017 Kanye West and Adidas had already been making sneakers together for five years, but West wasn’t really taken seriously as a footwear designer. That all changed with 2017’s Wave Runner.
When the Wave Runner dropped, which is still the 700’s best colorway, Kanye West singlehandedly made the ‘90s influenced “dad shoe” the hot footwear item everyone had to have. The world of sneakers changed once this shoe dropped, brands like New Balance, Nike, and Adidas started to bring out more of their ‘90s designs and Adidas was able to slash the price of these shoes from the usual $300 to the more affordable (but still expensive) $240.
After the success of the Wave Runner, Adidas themselves started to put more faith in Kanye, increasing the sneaker release runs of all of his future shoes in an effort to make them more accessible amongst the public.
Jordan 1 High OG SP Fragment x Travis Scott, 2021
Nike
If Kanye West dominated footwear in the 2010s, it’s looking more and more like Travis Scott will inherit that crown for this current decade. This year saw the release of Travis Scott’s 13th Nike collaboration, the Jordan 1 High OG SP Fragment x Travis Scott, a partnership with streetwear label Fragment Design. It’s not the first sneaker people would associate with Travis Scott — that would be the Jordan 1 Mocha — but, and brace yourself for this one, it is the best.
No, it’s not quite as iconic as the coffee-toned Mocha that it’s meant to be a sequel of, but give it time, that combination of University Blue, white leather, off-white midsole, and a black oversized backwards swoosh will no doubt go down as not only one of Travis Scott’s best sneakers but one of hip-hop’s best sneaker collaborations of all time.
