ASAP Rocky’s Alleged Shooting Trial Gets Official Start Date
Today, a judge scheduled an official date for the beginning of ASAP Rocky’s upcoming trial, after he pleaded not guilty to two counts of first-degree assault involving a semi-automatic firearm in January. The charges come from a 2021 incident that allegedly took place outside of a hotel in Hollywood. He’s accused of pointing a gun at his former childhood friend and collaborator ASAP Relli, shooting in his direction various times, and grazing his hand once.
Superior Court Judge Karla Kerlin determined that preliminary hearings will take place on June 28 and August 2 of this year, and the trial will officially begin on October 21. ASAP Rocky was not present in court when she made her decision. Kerlin’s ruling comes after Judge ML Villar ruled that there is sufficient evidence for the rapper to stand trial, despite his attorneys pushing back.

In court today, Kerlin also noted that ASAP Rocky has until July 19 to file a planned motion to dismiss the case. After the performer entered his not-guilty pleas earlier this year, his lawyer Joe Tacopina appeared confident in his ability to prove his client’s innocence and indicated that they wouldn’t be seeking a plea deal. “We’re going to try the case in the courtroom,” he told reporters at the time. “And when we do, facts will come out that show that he’s truly innocent. And that he’s a victim in this case.”
What do you think of ASAP Rocky’s upcoming trial getting an official start date at the end of October? What about the charges he’s facing? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Post Malone Teases New Country Collab With Blake Shelton
Post Malone has pushed hip-hop into some interesting directions. He got his start as a crooning rapper, but the more time passes, and the more ambitious he becomes, the harder it gets to categorize his style. We’re talking about an artist who has collabs with both Justin Bieber and Ozzy Osborne. A guy who just put out a smash single with Morgan Wallen. It should then come as no surprise that the next artist Post Malone has in mind for a collaboration is country superstar Blake Shelton.
Post Malone shared a video of the untitled collab on his Instagram. The video footage sees the artist crack open a beer and vibe out in a recording studio, while the audio gives us our first hint of what his and Shelton’s voices sound like together. Spoiler: they sound pretty good. The song has an uptempo party feel, which plays to the strengths of both artists. It falls within the wheelhouse of their lyrical focuses, which is partying and having a good time (when it’s not about being heartbroken).

Post Malone Teased His Uptempo Country Hit On IG
“Somebody pour me a drink, somebody bum me a smoke,” Malone and Shelton sing in unison. “I’m ’bout to get on a buzz/ I’m ’bout to get on a roll. I’ve been breaking my back, just keepin’ up with the Joneses.” It’s ironic that Post Malone’s credibility with country fans has been bolstered by the likes of Wallen and Blake Shelton, given that he was one of the features on Beyonce’s Cowboy Carter album. The fact that Queen Bey felt his inclusion was warranted only speaks to his impressive blurring of genre lines.
Post Malone has been vocal about his love for country music in the past. The “White Iverson” rapper told podcast host Joe Rogan that it’s one of his favorite genres. He made a point of drawing the line between traditional country and some of the radio-friendly stuff, though.
“The whole Johnny Cash… he always sang murder ballads,” Malone noted. “It’s the old school production, it’s the old school voice. And I find a lot of the time in country now, it’s very overproduced… Whenever I’m listening to that [country], it makes me feel like I’m a hard a*s.” We’re curious to see how the artist threads the needle between this old school country and the radio-friendly music he makes.

Today In Hip Hop History: Tim Dog Accused Of Faking His Death To Avoid Prosecution 11 Years Ago
On this date in 2013, the media was in a frenzy around the death or the whereabout of Timothy Blair, a rapper from the Bronx who was better known as “Tim Dog”, who is most famously known for his West Coast diss track “Fuck Compton”. However, Tim Dog will now be forever etched in the history books of Hip Hop after being accused of Playing Dead, as described in Elizabeth Greenwood’s best seller about celebrities who are believed to still be alive.
On February 14, 2013, The Source exclusively revealed the death of Tim Dog, but just three months later, mainstream media such as MSNBC and even urban media such as Vice began to question the validity of The Source’s report and even accused “The Bible Of Hip Hop” of aiding Tim Dog in a death fraud scheme.
Tim Dog was wanted in several different jurisdictions around the world for defrauding women out of hundreds of thousands of dollars, so it was suspected that when his death was reported that it was only another one of his schemes to get out repaying one of his defrauded victims. After over a year of research by many different outlets, it was eventually revealed that Tim Dog died from a heart attack in his home in Fulton County, GA on February 14, 2013.
