Last year was a big one for London rapper Central Cee. After the release of his 23 project, Cee went on to release the biggest song of his career with “Doja.” The track helped him become more of a recognizable name, especially among fellow London rappers like Dave. All of this has now resulted in “Sprinter,” the first-ever collaboration between the two rappers, and it’s one perfect for summer.
Dave and Central Cee’s new record arrives with a matching video that showcases the pros and cons of their playboy lifestyles. The duo flashes their diamonds and other riches while rapping about their accounters with women since they’ve become famous. Lines like, “We ain’t got generational wealth, it’s only a year that I’ve had these millions” from Central Cee and followed by equally opulent lines from Dave like, “You ever spent six figures and stared at bae like, ‘Look what you made me do.’” It all comes together with a simple that finds Central Cee rapping, “I got too many gyal, too many-many gyal, I got / They can last me the next two weeks.”
Hopefully “Sprinter” is a sign of more music to come from both rappers. Central Cee’s last release came at the top of the year with “Me & You” while Dave’s own dates back to last summer with “My 24th Birthday.”

A New York appeals court has upheld the 2021 ruling against Parlux in Jay-Z’s lawsuit against the brand, confirming that the brand owes him nearly $7 million in unpaid royalties. While a 2022 report originally detailed a $4.5 million payout was owed, Billboard reported today that after losing its appeal, Parlux now owes Jay $6.8 million.
The company originally sued Jay-Z for breach of contract in 2016, asking for $67 million after claiming it had lost $18 million on a 2013 fragrance partnership with the rap mogul due to his refusal to follow through on his obligations to promote it. Among the accusations was one that Jay had foregone promotional appearances and kept a $20,000 prototype bottle after rejecting its design for use on the line.
Jay countersued, saying that the company had given him sketchy, inaccurate documentation on its financial health and failed to pay all the royalties he was owed over the course of the partnership. The 2021 trial took three weeks, after which a jury determined that Jay did not owe Parlux; then, New York Supreme Court Justice Andrew Borrok ruled Parlux owes Jay-Z $6.78 million in unpaid royalties, including interest.
Parlux’s appeal hinged on a belief that the trial judge had improperly instructed the jury about requirements in the contract about Jay-Z’s personal appearances. According to Billboard, Parlux can continue to appeal but has not indicated any plans to do so.
The North American League of Legends has been a mess over the past few weeks. Just a month before the Summer split of the North American Challengers League was set to begin, Riot Games announced that LCS organizations were no longer mandated to carry an academy team. This led to seven of the ten LCS organizations dropping their academy rosters. This, along with a number of other changes, gutted the NACL. While Riot attempted to mitigate the disaster of their own creation, another nail in the coffin hammered down. Fan favorite semi-pro team TikTok Tony Top announced they would be disbanding due to financial constraints.
In the days prior to the LCS Players Association calling for a strike vote ahead of the LCS Summer split, Riot once again attempted to mitigate the negative press. They announced that one of the now vacant NACL slots would be taken by Disguised, a team overseen by former Hearthstone pro and massively popular streamer, Jeremy “DisguisedToast” Wang. Toast is an avid League of Legends player and while fans welcomed his involvement, it wasn’t enough to turn the tide against Riot. However, we have now gotten our first look at the roster Disguised could be fielding in the NACL.
Disguised Debuts Roster Of LCS Veterans

In lieu of a formal announcement, Disguised debuted their roster during a best-of-three showmatch against the former roster of Delta Fox. The roster that Toast has put together is stacked with well-known LCS veterans. Manning the top lane is Aaron “FakeGod” Lee, a six-split veteran of the LCS who also comes off a first-place finish with Cloud9 Challengers in the NACL Spring split. Roaming the jungle is Tomio “Tomio” Chan. Tomio is a long-time member of Evil Geniuses Academy who also won the NACL Spring split title on Cloud9 Challengers.
Disguised’s mid laner is Youngho “Young” Choi, who spent the Spring split as a sub on Golden Guardians. Another academy veteran can be found at ADC in Brandon “Meech” Choi. Meech has spent time in the systems of Dignitas, Immortals, and CLG. Finally, joining Meech in the bot lane is support Tristan “Zeyzal” Stidam. Playing his first LCS split in 2018, Zeyzal went to two World Championships with Cloud9. Most recently, after stepping away from the game in 2022, he won the NACL Spring Split. The team is being coached by Greyson “Goldenglue” Glimer, a veteran LCS player who transitioned to coaching in 2021. After their showmatch with Delta Fox, Disguised will join the NACL for the start of the summer split next week. Follow all the latest esports news here at HotNewHipHop.

Scar Lip recently signed to Epic Records, according to photos circulating online. One photo shows the rapper posing alongside a sign that reads, “Epic welcomes Scar Lip.” She now joins other artists on their roster like 21 Savage, Future, Travis Scott, and more. The young MC also joins Swizz Beatz on the lineup, who recently said he felt his mentee was “sent” to him by the late DMX.
“I honestly feel like DMX sent Scar Lip my way because she’s too much of his energy,” Swizz told The Breakfast Club. “Like I’ve never seen an artist that just naturally have what I know DMX have. And they two different artists, two different levels, yes. But I’m not talking about that. You know, like, that sister’s been through a lot, like Dog been through a lot.” He added, “she’s amazing and [has] a great heart the same way X had a great heart.”
Swizz isn’t the only artist who’s publicly endorsed the “Glizzy Gobbler” rapper. Several of her peers have also shown their support in recent months, including Cardi B, Boosie Badazz, and even Shaquille O’Neal. Snoop Dogg also recently collaborated with her on a remix of “This is New York,” dubbed, “This is Cali.”
Scar Lip recently appeared on VladTV, where she credited her famous supporters for her success. She told DJ Vlad that when Cardi B shared her song on social media, she “couldn’t believe that.” The young rapper added, “that post changed my life,” saying, “I love her so much.” She continued, telling the DJ, “She started from the bottom and raised her way to the top, [and] anybody that feels a way about that…you’re just weird. Everybody starts from the bottom. How could you not be inspired?” She also mentioned, “When Boosie reposted me, it felt like I had a shot.” She continued, “That’s when motion started coming in. His push, [and] his co-sign, got me a lot of press…that shit helped my career a lot.”

Christian Braun played 101 games for the University of Kentucky between 2019 and 2022. In those 101 games, Braun averaged 10.1 points, 5 rebounds, and 1.8 assists. However, he came into his own in his junior season, averaging 14.1 points as he helped Kansas win their first national championship since 2008. Subsequently, he went 21st overall in the 2022 NBA Draft, joining the Denver Nuggets. Per SB Nation: “Love this pick for the Nuggets. Braun plays with great intensity, can get after it at the point of attack defensively, and has even more shooting upside than his college numbers show. He was a key part of a national title team at Kansas, and should be able to contribute right away for a Nuggets team with title aspirations this year.”
Braun played in 76 games for the Nuggets in his rookie season, averaging 4.7 points in 15.5 minutes per game. He has played sparingly during the playoffs but saw upwards of 13 minutes against the Suns in the second round. However, with the Nuggets in the NBA Finals (and the heavy favorites to win), Braun has the chance to do something that only five other players have done in history.
Braun Could Join The Likes Of Magic And Russell

If the Nuggets win the NBA Finals, that would mean Braun would have won an NCAA and NBA title in back-to-back seasons. While you might think that, given the number of players drafted every year, it would be a fairly common occurrence, it has only happened five times in NBA history. This is in part due to the large parity at the college level. However, it has happened just five times.
The first player to complete the feat was Arnie Ferrin, who won a National Championship with Utah in 1948 before winning the NBA title with the Lakers in 1949. He has since been joined by Bill Russell (1957), Henry Bibby (1973), Magic Johnson (1980), and most recently Billy Thompson (1987). That’s a very impressive list of names for the rookie to join if the Nuggets are able to beat the Heat. The NBA Finals begin in Denver on June 1.
There’s a lot of music to look forward to this year from the OVO Sound team. Roy Woods, specifically, has been keeping fans on the edge of their seats for the release of a new album. He dropped Dem Timesin 2020, a six-song EP that held us down throughout the pandemic. However, he continued to keep his foot on the gas with a slew of remixes since then. Still, his 2023 run so far has indicated that he actually has a new project in store and with summer finally arriving, there’s no better time to unleash it.
This week, the Brampton-based star came through with the release of his new single, “Don’t Mind Me.” The slow-burning R&B jam has the moody, spacey feel that became synonymous with OVO Sound, thanks to production by 40. Roy Woods passionate vocal prowess takes center stage as he brings another lush and sultry anthem into the mix. It’s another impressive effort from Woods that has us excited about what else he has in store.
The OVO Sound artist already came through with three records that appear to be intended for his next album. In February, he blessed fans with the release of “Don’t Love Me,” produced by Crater and UpNorth. Then, he slid through with “Young Boy Problems,” a moody R&B jam that further showcases his range.
Last year, Roy Woods spoke to HotNewHipHop where he provided details surrounding his upcoming project, Mixed Emotions. Revealing Drake will executive produce the effort, he said, “I wanted to get my album the best way I could, and with his help, it was perfect. He had a very similar vision of what I wanted, so it wasn’t hard for us to pick songs and go through songs together. He flew me off to the Bahamas, we were listening to songs and going through them. It was amazing.” We’re hoping it’ll see a release date soon. Check out the record above.
