Jack Harlow’s confidence is sky-high. We’re just days away from the arrival of the 24-year-old’s Come Home the Kids Miss You album, which he’s been relentlessly teasing on social media.

Fans have already been fed two successful singles – “Nail Tech” (which earned him incredibly coveted flowers from Kanye West) and “First Class” (beloved for its clever sampling of Fergie and Ludacris’ “Glamorous”) – and over the weekend, he previewed yet another title.

“Album this Friday,” he captioned a 13-second clip that finds him kicking back on what looks like a tour bus as he raps “Dua Lipa, I’m tryna do more with her than do a feature / I check the web, they out here chewin’ me up / F*ck it,” for the camera before the beat drops.

It remains unclear what the track is called, but it’s obvious that he’s shooting his shot with the English singer, who split from Anwar Hadid not too long ago.

Over on Twitter Harlow continued to generate hype for Come Home the Kids Miss You, writing, “Strictly legends on my album,” earlier today before asking fans to guess who might be appearing alongside him on the project.

On his last album, 2020’s That’s What They All Say, the Kentucky-born lyricist collaborated with DaBaby, Tory Lanez, Lil Wayne, Static Major, Bryson Tiller, EST Gee, Adam Levine, Chris Brown, Big Sean, and Lil Baby, which will be hard to top but fans have expressed who they’re hoping to see.

Doja Cat, Drake, Nicki Minaj, Ariana Grande, J. Cole, Kanye West, and Lil Wayne are among the names that appeared, but who do you think Jack Harlow has new music with for us this Friday? Let us know below.

The D.O.C., who co-founded Death Row Records with Suge Knight, Dick Griffey, and Dr. Dre back in 1991, recently discussed Snoop Dogg’s acquisition of the record label during an interview with HipHopDx, telling the outlet that he’s “proud” of the rapper’s purchase.

“I’m proud of Snoop and everything he’s accomplished and all the things that he’s going to do,” he told the outlet during a phone interview. “And every moment of his adult life, he is still showing me what it means to be a great guy and great human being. The guy is fucking everywhere [laughs]. I mean, he’s in the grocery store, he’s on the billboards, on my freeways — he’s everywhere.”

Snoop announced that he had purchased Death Row in February 2022 from MNRK Music Group. Shortly afterward, he released his third studio album, Bacc On Death Row, through the record label responsible for The Chronic, Doggystyle, All Eyez on Me, and many other classic hip hop albums.

D.O.C. added that Snoop being in an executive position at the company will help show the next generation that there are numerous ways to get involved in the business outside of only making music.

“You said it right there — being integrated into the system in a meaningful way helps us to sort of reprogram or de program some of the things that may be not so positive with [Hip Hop], because it’s really all about the money,” he continued. “So, you can show these kids that there are multiple ways to get out here in this business and make a great living through this means.”

Crocs are one of the biggest footwear brands on the planet. While the average sneakerhead might not mess with these, there is no doubt that Crocs are extremely popular to a large demographic. With that being said, Crocs has been able to leverage its brand recognition into various collaborations with big artists. From Post Malone to Saweetie, Crocs has always been looking to cross over into the music world.

Now, they are working with yet another artist in SZA. Yes, that’s right, SZA is here with what promises to be one of the most unique Crocs collabs thus far. Today, she dropped her own version of the Classic Slide and the Classic Clog, and as you can see, they are pretty damn impressive.

As you can see from the Instagram post below, both the Clog and the Slide feature a wood aesthetic, all while the Jibbitz are meant to represent things that are unique to SZA. From the environment to fashion to weed, there are plenty of jibbitz to add to to these Crocs. Of course, you don’t have to use all of them, although if you want to get wild, the option is there.

These dropped today on the Crocs website and they will be available via online draw. Let us know what you think, in the comments section down below.

It looks like Playboi Carti just got into the alcohol business with his new line of cocktail drinks. This weekend, the rapper unveiled the Hardscatto beverage after joining Thomas Ashbourne’s team of celebrity founding partners which also includes John Cena and Vanessa Hudgens. The rapper’s Hardscatto beverage is a cocktail beverage infused with vodka and flavors of Muscat Blanc Grapes, peach, apricot, and elderflower. The 40-proof beverage is also kosher and gluten-free.

A commercial with Carti also debuted over the weekend where the rapper flexes his acting chops as he tells a sommelier, “You’ve been drinking trash!” That’s when his team hands over a bottle of Hardscatto, which they clarify isn’t wine. One sip of Hardscatto and the sommelier joins Carti and co. in their private room rager.

Carti’s Hardscatto has yet to hit shelves but Thomas Ashbourne’s website did reveal the prices. 375ml bottles will retail for $43.99 while an 8-pack will be on shelves for $59.55.

The launch of the new beverage arrives days after his incredibly brief performance at the Smoker’s Club Festival, where he and A$AP Rocky debuted a new collab. Fans attempted to storm the stage, breaking the barricade in the process and festival organizers swiftly pulled the plug. It doesn’t seem like anyone was harmed but there were reports that security was involved with a few altercations.
