by

Texan rapper Monaleo returns to her roots in her new single, “Ridgemont Baby.” The 21-year-old dropped the track and its music video today (February 24th), debuting her first song of the new year. In “Ridgemont Baby,” Monaleo gets personal and showcases her pride in her self-made journey. On top of groovy beats, she raps, “ayy, rap shit saved me, devil tried to take me / Stood ten toes on my problems and did it bravely.” Throughout her bars, Monaleo gives specific accounts of her living situations growing up in Ridgemont.

One moment, she’s describing spraying roaches with Lysol, and then in the next, she depicts sharing a one-bedroom flat with her whole family. Even though Monaleo didn’t grow up with cable, she reflects “I had plenty time to work on my craft.” The “Miss U Already” rapper also notes how despite struggling in her childhood, she always dreamt big.

Monaleo’s “Ridgemont Baby” Gets Personal

In a 2022 interview with NME, the rising star reflected on transitioning her dreams into a reality. “You have these dreams and fantasies where you can visualize yourself doing something,” Monaleo said, “but when it starts to actually happen, it’s a surreal experience. I couldn’t believe it was happening, and as quickly as it was.” As her career as a rapper continues to expand, Monalo shares her hopes for the platform she’s built: “I’d like to be remembered as an artist that was fearless: someone who used her circumstances as a stepping stool to be a voice to the people who have gone through similar things.”

The music video for “Ridgemont Baby” captures the rapper driving around her hometown in a Rolls Royce. The video is well worth the watch and captures the essence of childhood dreams, so be sure to check it out above. As always, keep in touch with HNHH for the latest news in hip-hop.

Quotable Lyrics:

Every time a motherfucker see you doin’ good (Aw, baby)
They try to come and discredit everything that you’ve been done (Aw, baby)
Everything you’ve been through (Aw, baby)
Everything you’ve worked for
All the hard hours you put in (Aw, baby)
Wasn’t nobody there but me and me
I picked myself up (Aw, baby)
I wiped my own tears, me, n*gga

Rapper Boosie Badazz said he refuses to accept his daughter’s lesbian lifestyle. The rapper’s 21-year-old daughter Iviona, a.k.a. Poison Ivi, came out on Instagram, causing Black Twitter to announce her coming out was his “karma.”

Boosie has denounced personal choices made by Dwyane Wade‘s child Zaya Wade and aspiring rapper Lil Nas X.

In an interview with DJ Vlad on VladTV, Boosie said he refused to accept Iviona’s lifestyle because of his religious beliefs.

“Even though it won’t be accepted as far as — because I don’t want nobody in my other family to think it’s okay. But what she does, we’re gonna love her to death. But at the same time, our Southern family has never been that way.

“It’s never been accepted. But at the same time, she’s grown and she can do what the hell she wants. She’s old enough to know what she wants and that’s her.”

Boosie claims that he knew Iviona was “different” growing up, but he learned about her lesbianism on social media.

“I learned of it through social media. Like you, I woke up to it… She never came to me and talked to me about relationships,” he said.

Mark Hamill Stars In Bert Kreischer’s “The Machine” Trailer: Watch

by

Star Wars star Mark Hamill has put aside his Luke Skywalker lightsaber to play a dad on speed. In the trailer for Bert Kreischer‘s The Machine, Kreischer and Hamill go on the ride of their lives. The film follows the real-life events of Bert Kreischer’s college years. During that time, he got involved with the Russian mafia, who nicknamed him “The Machine.” Additionally, the movie extends the story further in a fiction-nonfiction hybrid, definitely an R-rated film. The trailer alone includes Hamill swearing and completely high on speed.

The Machine is set 23 years after the original story that inspired it. The film tells the story of Bert (Kreischer) facing a crisis as his father (Hamill) returns to his life. However, a Russian mobster (Iva Babić) also enters Bert’s life. She’s ruthless, murderous, and dedicated to kidnapping Bert and bringing him back to Russia. There, she wants Bert to deal with the repercussions of his crimes. Therefore, Bert and his father have to retrace the steps of Bert’s younger self (Jimmy Tatro) from 23 years prior. However, they must do this while attempting to rekindle their father-son relationship in the middle of a war between a sociopathic crime family.

Mark Hamill In “The Machine” Trailer

So, what happened to Kreischer in the 1990s that inspired this film? During that time, Bert Kreischer was a not-so-great student at the top party school in the country. However, as a student at Florida State, he faked his way through a few years of Russian classes. Eventually, his teacher told him that if he studied abroad in Russia and kept doing what he was doing, he would get a minor in the language that he couldn’t speak. Therefore, he took the trip. In Russia, Kreischer met a local mobster and took part in a train robbery, mostly by accident. But, he learned some Russian along the way.

Originally, Kreischer told the story in a 2016 Showtime comedy special. The story went viral. Now, this film tells the story of a new Russian gangster who shows up at Bert’s home. Additionally, the film is said to include comedy, action, and chaos. Starring with Kreischer and Hamill in The Machine are Robert Maaser, Stephanie Kurtzuba, Jessica Gabor, Rita Bernard Shaw, Nikola Đuričko, Oleg Taktarov, Amelie Villers, and Mercedes de la Cruz. Sony’s Screen Gems will release the film for Memorial Day weekend on May 25, 2023.

Kim Kardashian Took Out $48 Million Mortgage To Purchase Malibu Mansion

by

Kim Kardashian reportedly took out a $48 million mortgage in order to purchase her new $70 million Malibu mansion. Moreover, she used Britney Spears’ controversial ex-business manager Lou Taylor to make the deal and borrowed funds from investment bank BNY Mellon. Furthermore, the company offers custom mega-mortgages for incredibly rich clients, and the reality TV star closed the deal in September of last year according to documents obtained by the US Sun. While the mortgage’s terms are unclear, the national average rate on the week of the sale was 5.56% on 30-year fixed mortgages with jumbo balances, based on reports from the Mortgage Bankers Association.

In fact, that loan rate and structure equals monthly payments of over $278,000 before taxes and insurance. However, these payments could fluctuate up or down depending on differing terms of the deal. Regardless, the previous owners of this Malibu destination were Cindy Crawford and husband Rande Gerber. Moreover, the stunning home contains four bedrooms and five-and-a-half bathrooms within over 7,000 square feet. Interestingly, it’s about 14 miles away from ex-husband Kanye West’s recently purchased $57 million property.

Kim Kardashian’s $70 Million Malibu Mansion

According to mortgage documents referenced by the Sun, Lou Taylor helped the 42-year-old out with the purchase. Moreover, the company used to complete the purchase has the same address as Taylor’s management firm. For those unaware, Taylor received much scrutiny for his handling of Britney Spears’ conservatorship battle. Still, the company denied claims from the singer that they misused her $60 million fortune during her father’s 13-year conservatorship. Still, the Kardashians worked closely with Taylor before to handle much of their business deals, acquisitions, and other endeavors. It seems that their working relationship remains, even when considering Spears who was once much closer to Kim.

Meanwhile, Kim acquired the Malibu mansion through a reportedly off-market private transaction, with Jade Mills of Coldwell Banker also overseeing the sale. Moreover, this purchase marks the sixth most expensive real estate transection in Southern California in 2022, according to the Los Angeles Times. Given Kim’s pockets, it’s not surprising to see her dropping bags on luxury destinations. Regardless, log back into HNHH for the latest news and updates on Kim Kardashian.

University Of Idaho Murder House To Be Demolished This Semester: Report

by

There are still several months until we’ll see Bryan Kohberger officially stand trial for the accused brutal murder of four University of Idaho students. Before his identity was revealed to the public late last year, internet sleuths all over the world came together in hopes of finding a suspect and getting answers for the families and friends of the victims. True crime fanatics anxiously wait to see what will happen this summer. Still, occasional updates surrounding the tightly gag-ordered case continue to pour in.

According to the latest from NewsNation, the student residence/party house where Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle, Ethan Chapin and Madison Mogen were stabbed to death is due to be demolished in the coming weeks. Local police, the FBI, the prosecution, and the defense have all had an opportunity to thoroughly examine the chilling crime scene. Now, the residence’s windows are boarded up to prevent curious bypassers from snooping or sensationalizing.

Moscow Murder House’s Final Months

The news comes from the U of Idaho’s president. He stated in a memo that the home’s owner extended an offer to the school that they’ve since accepted. As a result, the property at 1122 King Road in Moscow will be demolished later this semester. “This is a healing step and removes the physical structure where the crime that shook our community was committed,” the recent note explains. “Demolition also removes efforts to further sensationalize the crime scene.”

The residence spans nearly 2,200 square feet and has three levels. It contains six bedrooms and three bathrooms, two of the former on each floor and one of the latter. Additionally, it has a highly accessible sliding back door where Kohberger is believed to have entered the residence. The victims were found in or near their bedrooms on the second and third floors. The discovery was apparently made by friends several hours after the tragic murders. At this time, their school is working toward building a memorial dedicated to the victims on the Moscow campus.

Kohberger’s Chilling SoundCloud Content

As he awaits his fate behind bars, the world has been diving into the accused killer’s harrowing past. Last month, it was revealed that he previously tried his hand at rapping. He even uploading one of his songs to SoundCloud many years ago. Labelled “Rise up instrumental- test,” the nearly four-minute posting finds Kohberger saying some chilling things that potentially foreshadow his alleged murderous antics in Moscow.

“You are not my equal / You are evil but I’m devil,” he tells listeners. “End your life you get no sequel / Leave your loved ones crying like some seagulls / Don’t f*ck with us / You underestimate.” Elsewhere in the news, it’s been said that the former Ph.D. student’s phone was searched. It allegedly contained numerous photos of one of the young women he killed, though authorities have yet to confirm. Listen to Kohberger’s SoundCloud song here, and check back later for more news updates. RIP.

Jill Biden Hints That Joe Plans To Run For Second Term As President

by

Jill Biden just gave a strong hint that husband Joe plans to run for a second term as President. Moreover, she recently spoke to AP News about the prospect, although she didn’t necessarily make the announcement for him. Instead, the First Lady spoke on how the 46th President still has work to be done in the White House. As such, she suggested that it’s only a matter of time and place in relation to the announcement of his next step. While his presidency has by no means been perfect or beloved, his reelection could result in a long-lasting win for Democrats.

“Is there any reason for any of us to think that he is not running again?” the interviewer asked Jill. “We’ve heard him say several time that it is his intention.” Then, his wife had a pretty interesting answer. “Are you not believing this, darling?” she replied while laughing along with the interviewer. “I mean, how many times does he have to say it till you believe it? No, he says he’s not done. He’s not finished what he’s started, and that’s what’s important. I think- look at all that Joe has done, has accomplished.”

Jill Biden Hints At Joe’s Second Term

In addition, Jill said there’s nothing to do besides picking the right time and place to announce the reelection campaign. However, the President will face an increasingly polarized nation and will deal with criticisms and controversies surrounding his first term. For example, Biden faced accusations of wrongdoing after authorities discovered classified documents in his homes on multiple occasions. In fact, the Department of Justice even appointed a special counsel to oversee the investigation and determine any malevolent will. Biden’s team maintains they were misplaced with no deeper intent or incriminatory manner.

Meanwhile, his potential Republican opponent for these elections, former President Donald Trump, recently took aim at these scandals. “The White House just announced that there are no LOGS or information of any kind of visitors to the Wilmington house and flimsy, unlocked, and unsecured, but now very famous garage,” he tweeted. “Maybe they are smarter than we think! This is one of the seemingly many places where HIGHLY CLASSIFIED documents are stored (in a big pile on the damp floor).” Regardless, check back in with HNHH for the latest big news on President Joe Biden and his reelection campaign.

BabyTron Drops “Out On Bond” EP After Arrest

by

With each new project, BabyTron ascends to new heights. The monotoned Detroit rapper has been excellent at capitalizing on an opportunity as of late, and always gives fans a reason to keep his name in their mouths. On Friday (Feb. 3), the 22-year-old released an EP out of nowhere titled Out On Bond. With a singular feature from frequent collaborator Certified Trapper, the EP contains five songs and spans 12 minutes. Additionally, the project comes in the same month fans found out about BabyTron’s recent run-in with the law.

On Feb. 15, Twitter users learned about BabyTron’s recent arrest for possession of a controlled substance. With very little context given for the Feb. 8 arrest, fans began to worry about Tron’s status. However, Tron expressed confusion when fans commented “Free BabyTron” on his Instagram Live around the time the news broke. This could perhaps be a good sign regarding his criminal status. The same day, his mugshot from his arrest surfaced. Tron eventually used his own mugshot as the cover art for Out On Bond. He also jokingly added a fake mustache and Mario hat to the photo.

BabyTron’s Releases Before “Out On Bond”

Before his arrest, BabyTron was coming off an excellent string of back-to-back full-length albums. In October, he dropped his 15-song album Bin Reaper 3: Old Testament. By titling it this, though, fans had to expect that he would follow the biblical layout and follow up with another testament. He did just that in early January, releasing Bin Reaper 3: New Testament. With 26 songs and features from Lil Yachty, Cordae, Rico Nasty, and more, BR3:NT may have been his most popular project to date.

With all this being said, the sole fact of Tron consistently putting out projects is not what excites fans the most. The releases from BabyTron as of late have also all been excellent by his standards. With continuously creative bars and pop culture references, it’s hard to even imagine how Tron keeps a straight face when rapping. He has truly mastered his craft and each new song feels like a victory lap. But, before we look ahead to his next stunning full-length LP, stream his new EP, and let us know what you think in the comments below.

Tracklist:

  1. Out On Bond
  2. A2Z
  3. Long Nights ft. Certified Trapper
  4. Ice Spice
  5. Overthinking
