Desoto, Texas rapper Erica Banks is not slowing down for anyone as of late. The 25-year-old sensation who is behind the creation of “Buss It,” is back yet again. She is here to provide some new heat for the freestyle streets. It was about a week ago when Erica dropped her most recent song, “I Think I Love Em (Freestyle).” On that offering, she was flexing her sexual prowess over a classic Gucci Mane cut, “I Think I Love Her.” That has racked up over 160,000 plays on YouTube since that mark.
With that feedback in mind, Erica thought it was only right to give the fans what they wanted. This time she is lying down her deep southern-fried flows on a fresher song. Nicki Minaj’s Pink Friday 2 featured a very popular collaboration with Lil Uzi Vert called “Everybody,” which sampled the classic song “Move Your Feet.” Erica Banks decided to put her twist on it and it comes great again.
The major message in this song addresses the money she spent on plastic surgery. With a big-time decision like that, people are going to have something negative to say about it. However, Erica has a nonchalant attitude that plays so well with her delivery and lyrics. Check out the uber-confident track above.
What are your thoughts on this brand-new single, “Everybody (Freestyle),” by Erica Banks? Should she make a compilation album with all of her freestyles? Is this the better freestyle out of the two most recent? Do you like it when rappers spit on other artists’ songs, why or why not? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your hottest takes in the comments section below. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Erica Banks.

Pascal Siakam is headed to the Indiana Pacers. NBA Trade season is officially underway, and the NBA Champion will now team with Tyrese Haliburton.
The Pacers acquired Siakam from the Toronto Raptors for Bruce Brown, Jordan Nwora, and three first-round picks. Sources told ESPN‘s Adrian Wojnarowski that the New Orleans Pelicans are a third team in the deal, shipping Kira Lewis to the Raptors and a second-round pick to the Pacers.
For the season, Siakam is averaging 22.2 points, 6.3 rebounds and 4.9 assists for the season. He can be a free agent this offseason, but the Pacers believe they can come to an extension.
“I’m excited that Pascal is getting a first class opportunity with the Pacers, being paired with Tyrese [Haliburton] and Myles [Turner] and being coached by a great coach in Rick Carlisle,” Siakam’s agent Todd Ramasar said to Andscape.
The NBA has postponed a game between the Warriors and Jazz following the death of Warriors assistant coach Dejan Milojevic. Milojevic, 46, suffered a heart attack in Salt Lake City on January 16 during a private team dinner and passed away the following day. Milojevic had served on Steve Kerr’s staff since 2021 and was well-regarded both within the NBA and abroad. Furthermore, at least one team interviewed Milojevic about their head coaching vacancy following the 2022/23 season.
Prior to coming to the NBA, Milojevic established himself as a proven winner in Eastern Europe. Additionally, his time coaching Serbian side Mega meant that he was closely involved with the early development of Nikola Jokic. “We are absolutely devastated by Dejan Milojević’s sudden passing. This is a shocking and tragic blow for everyone associated with the Warriors and an incredibly difficult time for his family, friends, and all of us who had the incredible pleasure to work with him. We grieve with and for his wife, Natasa, and their children, Nikola and Masa,” The Warriors wrote on social media.
Steph Curry Pushes Warriors To Make Deadline Moves
We are absolutely devastated by Dejan Milojević’s sudden passing.
This is a shocking and tragic blow for everyone associated with the Warriors and an incredibly difficult time for his family, friends, and all of us who had the incredible pleasure to work with him.
The Warriors will step away from the game for the next few days to grieve their friend and colleague. However, with the trade deadline three weeks away, a number of questions are lingering for the organization. Steph Curry has openly expressed his desire for the Warriors to pursue some season-altering moves before the upcoming trade deadline. “We have a standard that’s pretty evident that, if things stay the same, that’s the definition of insanity, right? Keep doing the same thing expecting a different result? So, as players and what we can do, we have to control our effort, our focus, competitiveness, control the things that we can on the court. Like any NBA season, every organization has stuff that works itself out,” Curry said earlier in January.
The Warriors are 18-22, last in their division, and 1.5 games back from the playoffs. While Draymond Green returned to the team in their last outing, they also lost Chris Paul to a fractured hand. Paul is expected to be sidelined until after the All-Star Game, leaving the Warriors with limited options as how to right the listing ship.
It’s no secret that Kanye West enjoys trying out new looks on the regular. Recently, however, he really went the extra mile to emulate a fictional character with a set of metal teeth. The Chicago-born performer hopped on Instagram earlier today to share a photo of his shiny new smile, complete with two apparent fangs. The selfie arrived alongside a screenshot of a Google search for the character that inspired the look, Jaws. The assassin was played by Richard Kiel in the James Bond films The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker.
To complement the metal teeth, Ye rocked a string of pearls and what appeared to be a simple black t-shirt. Lately, when he hasn’t been showing off his bold looks alongside his wife Bianca Censori, the hitmaker has been working on his new album with Ty Dolla Sign, Vultures. Unfortunately, the project has seen various delays since it was first announced, most recently getting pushed back yet another month.
Vultures is now expected to drop on February 9, 2024, according to iTunes. He’s also filed a new trademark recently, pointing at even more exciting things in the near future. He filed one for the phrase “I MISS YOU WHEN I WAKE UP BEFORE YOU,” inspired by his recent heartfelt birthday posts for Censori. In the trademark documents, Ye listed various goods and services that would be provided under the trademark, which mostly had to do with interior design or logo design.
Interestingly enough, however, he also listed “Cloud seeding,” “Graphoanalysis,” “exploration services in the field of the oil, gas and mining industries,” and “biological cloning.” Clearly, Ye has big plans. What do you think of Kanye West showing off his new set of metal teeth? What about him taking inspiration from the character Jaws from the James Bond films? Is he pulling them off, or not?

While Sisqo’s career has been marked by success, it hasn’t been without its share of controversies. In 2001, he faced a legal battle with the New Orleans-based group The Ambassadors, who claimed that “Thong Song” unlawfully sampled their 1997 track “Got To Be The Real Thing.” The lawsuit was eventually settled out of court, allowing Sisqo to continue his musical pursuits without hindrance. Despite the legal challenges, Sisqo’s resilience and dedication to his craft have allowed him to weather storms and remain a prominent figure in the entertainment industry.

Dave Chappelle broke out his best Biggie impression, deepening his voice to perform “Big Poppa” during an appearance at “1500 Or Nothin Day” in LA on Martin Luther King Day. It’s not the first time that Chappelle has been seen performing Biggie’s works. In 2016, he performed “Juicy” alongside Erykah Badu at the singer’s 45th birthday party.
“Big Poppa”, off Biggie’s seminal Ready To Die, is one of the late rapper’s best-known works. The track, which dropped on Christmas Eve 1994, went on to earn a Grammy nomination and a six-time platinum certification. However, it only peaked at No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100.
While Chappelle’s rendition of “Big Poppa” was well-received, the same can’t be said for all of the comedian’s recent performances. In October 2023, Chappelle saw several audience members walk out of his show in Boston after he decided to speak on the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine. No footage of the set is online, as Chappelle confiscated the audience’s phones before he began. While Chappelle condemned the initial Hamas attack on Israel, he said that students in the US shouldn’t be losing job offers for supporting Palestine. Several Ivy League students have reported experiencing such consequences for publicly supporting Palestine.
However, Chappelle doubled down, stating that the Israeli response to the Hamas attack has been disproportionate and going as far as to accuse Israel of war crimes. Not stopping there, Chappelle also accused the US of aiding and abetting the Israeli atrocities thanks to their full-throated support fo the nation. The comments led several audience members to leave the show early, according to sources who spoke with TMZ.
The Superbowl Halftime Show is one of the biggest stages any musical artist can take on. So when the biggest stars in all of music perform they try and bring out all the stops. In recent years Rihanna brought impressive scale to the event with suspended platforms. The year before Dr. Dre delivered an intricate house set and surprise appearance from 50 Cent. Whatever Usher is planning for the big day is tightly under wraps, but expectations are mounting.
Part of those expectations are set up by Usher himself. In a recent interview with Vogue, he spoke on how extensively he’s been working on the performance. “It has to be perfect. I’ve been doing this for 30 years. I want people who have been a part of that journey to feel like it’s a celebration for everybody, for all of us, from the beginning up until this point,” he said in the interview. Though the performances are often massive in scale they’re on a relatively short time scale. That means compacting his entire career of hits into a single performance is tricky. Elsewhere in the article he discussed his efforts to bring the spirit of R&B to the stage while performing for every single one of the millions of women who will be watching. Read the full interview below.
The Super Bowl performance isn’t even the only exciting thing happening for Usher that night. He will follow-up the with the release of his new album Coming Home. It’s his first new project since 2016 and is already off to a strong start. The single “Good Good” with Summer Walker and 21 Savage has turned into the R&B star’s biggest hit in years. The song peaked at number 25 on the Hot 100 and currently sits at number 34 on the chart.
Last month, Usher wrapped up his Las Vegas residency which made nightly news for the dozens of celebrities that attended. What do you think of Usher’s comments about his upcoming Super Bowl Halftime Show performance? What are your expectations for his performance? Let us know in the comment section below.
It is always cool when talents from different countries bring their respective approaches to a track. Almost always, it leads to bangers, or something new and refreshing. Today it is the first of those two outcomes. The artists that have joined forces this time around are British rap duo D-Block Europe and Florida’s Kodak Black.
The name of the track is “Still Play Valorant” and this is not a single. Rather, it is closer to the collective’s most recent full-length project, Rolling Stone. With all of the major releases this past weekend, it took some time to get to it. However, we are glad we are able to share it. One of the best parts of this cut is the production hands down.
Listen To “Still Play Valorant” By D-Block Europe And Kodak Black
It is wavy, spacey, and pure melodic trap goodness. If you are into auto-tune you are going to dig this. While it might be a bit of a loose comparison, it shares some similarities to A Boogie wit da Hoodie’s 2017 song “Beast Mode” from The Bigger Artist. The whisky, ghostly, and woodwind-like elements add an ethereal vibe to the violent track. D-Block Europe makes a witty reference to the first-person shooting game, Valorant to show their aggressive nature. “Got sticks at home and I still play VALORANT.” Check it out for yourself above.
