Jaden is an artist who has always made sure to speak out about the environment and wants to help our planet for the better. With Global Warming accelerating at a rapid rate, it’s more important than ever before to take care of the planet, and with his New Balance collaboration, Jaden is doing his part to make the world just a bit more sustainable. This is evident in his new sneaker which was unveiled today, called the New Balance Racer Vision ReWorked.
In the images below, you can see the very first colorway of this model which is going to be white and grey with black specks sprinkled throughout. The shoe has a chunky dad-like aesthetic to it which makes sense given this theme is one that has become quite trendy over the past few years. What makes this shoe truly eco-friendly is the fact that the upper is made with 30 percent textile waste from the New Balance factory. This makes for a new Spinnex fiber that truly feels unique. Even the midsole foam has some reusable materials, making this the perfect shoe for environmentalists.
As for the release date, these are dropping on April 22nd which just so happens to be Earth Day. Pairs will be available over at Newbalance.com.

Busta Rhyme’s Extinction Level Event 2: The Wrath Of God was, in many ways, the culmination of a variety of different roads. Though Busta has yet to indicate that retirement is even the slightest possibility, the project felt climactic in a truly satisfying fashion. Even Busta himself seemed to feel as if an emotional weight had been lifting upon release.
Following the release of his new video from the project — a cinematic affair for the Rick Rock produced and Mariah Carey-assisted “Where I Belong” — there’s a distinct air that things have come full circle. “The past is an animal that chases you forever,” says Busta, as a cinematic voiceover begins. There’s a quick callback to “Call An Ambulance,” a single off It Ain’t Safe No More, the album that first brought Rhymes and Carey together. Next comes an indication — “18 years later” — a call from Trippie Redd, and the proper opening moments of “Where I Belong.”
Circling back to the animated comic book stylings of “I Know What You Want,” this sequel clip is certainly packing a heavy dose of nostalgia for Busta Rhymes fans. Though the twisting cinematic narrative and Samurai-inspired imagery might be a little hard to follow at times, “Where I Belong” remains a visually striking addition to Busta’s extensive collection of music videos. At the center of it all is the chemistry between two longtime friends and collaborators, still making it look effortless after all these years.
Big respect to Busta Rymes for this one.
Since her ugly breakup with Quavo last month, Saweetie has been minding her business and focusing on her craft. The “Best Friend” rapper has graced the cover of Cosmopolitan Magazine, extended her publishing deal with Warner Chappell Music, and landed a major placement on Demi Lovato’s latest album Dancing With The Devil…The Art of Starting Over. Following the disturbing video that showed her and Quavo tussling in a public elevator, it appeared that Saweetie was catching a stride and heading in a positive direction.
However, today doesn’t seem to be Saweetie’s day because in addition to Quavo basically confirming that he did in fact have her Bentley repo’d, several Hip-Hop fans have taken to Twitter to voice their disdain for her latest single with Gwen Stefani. While it hasn’t gotten nearly as much hate as YBN Nahmir’s “Soul Train,” “Slow Cap” isn’t winning over many of the Icy Girl’s fans.
The bubble gum pop record features a guest verse from Saweetie, which begins with the cringey opening bar, “Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap.” While her verse does improve as it goes on, it wasn’t enough to save the song from its sugary and childish aesthetic, and as a result, fans have taken to Twitter to get their jokes off at Saweetie’s expense.
Watch the video for “Slow Clap” above and check out the reactions from Twitter users below.
Deshaun Watson has been the biggest story in the NFL over these past three weeks as he has been accused of sexually assaulting 22 massage therapists in the Houston area. According to these allegations, Watson would seek out the services and would then get inappropriate with the women who say what he did was not consensual. Throughout the process, Watson and his lawyer Rusty Hardin have denied all of the accusations and are fighting to have the women ID themselves.
Now, Hardin is coming out with even more alleged information about Watson’s conduct. In fact, Hardin is claiming that Watson did have sexual relations with massage therapists although, on every single occasion, it was consensual. Of course, this is a direct counter to what many of the women have said. His accusers claim he continued to act in inappropriate ways despite being told “no” on numerous occasions.
Per Pro Football Talk:
“Hardin admitted that consensual sexual encounters sometimes occurred with massage therapists. Hardin insists, however, that he did not coerce the massage therapists or use his status as a celebrity to violate the ability of the massage therapists to provide consent.”
Ashley Solis, a massage therapist who came forward, says she has received death threats in light of her accusations, which has led attorney Tony Buzbee to ask that the women not be forced to expose themselves. For now, the judge has ruled with Watson and Hardin on this topic, and details surrounding the case continue to emerge.

Naughty Dog’s The Last Of Us, directed by Neil Druckmann and originally released on the PS3 in 2013, is widely regarded as a classic in video game history. In the years that followed, a remastered edition hit the PS4, and the anticipated sequel released in June of 2020; it went on to become the most awarded video game of all time.
Now, a new report from IGN has indicated that Sony may very well be revisiting The Last Of Us, with the studio apparently working on a remade version for the PlayStation 5. The development arose following a report from Bloomberg, who claimed that Visual Arts Service Group, a 30-strong team led by founder Michael Mumbauer, had been secretly tasked with developing a remake of the beloved game. Unfortunately, Sony’s decision to keep the team’s existence a secret ultimately left them unable to obtain their desired hiring budget and many of the developers went on to shift focus to The Last Of Us 2 at Sony’s command.
WATCH: The Last Of Us Remastered Trailer
Bloomberg‘s source indicates that upon the completion of the sequel, Sony shifted several Naughty Dog developers back onto The Last Of Us remake project (a move that shifted the dynamic, much to the dismay of the Visual Arts Service group), which seems to indicate that the studio is currently in the midst of moving forward with development. Unsurprising, given that HBO recently cast Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey, two Game Of Thrones alumni, to play Joel and Ellie in an upcoming Last Of Us series. With plenty of fresh eyes set to discover the powerful story for the first time, it makes sense that The Last Of Us is getting a facelift for the modern console generation.
Stay tuned for further updates on The Last Of Us, both show and remake, as they surface. Should you be among those who own a PS5, do you intend on revisiting the classic game?

In March, The Joe Budden Podcast got shaken up a bit when fans noticed that Joe Budden‘s co-hosts Rory and Mal were had taken a break from appearing on the podcast. In an effort to “eliminate some of the suspense” regarding rumors that Rory and Mal were allegedly ditching the podcast after years of working with the former Slaughterhouse rapper, Joe addressed the situation on the JBP episode “Tea Leaves.” Days later, Joe also revealed that he and Rory had decided to go to therapy to sort out their issues.
More than two weeks later, however, Rory and Mal have yet to return to The Joe Budden Podcast, and fans are thirsting for updates. So much so, it appears, that listeners have started hitting Joe’s barber for updates regarding Rory and Mal’s return. In a rather hilarious Instagram post, Joe Budden shares a video that features his barber explaining how people keep coming to him for developments regarding the JBP.
Of course, Joe’s barber reveals that he never has any updates for JBP fans, so he and the State of the Culture host get a good laugh about the absurdity of the situation. In the caption, Joe wrote, “was getting a cut when my barber started talking about the podcast… it felt good to know so many ppl care, as the barbershop is a metric for what’s near and dear to the hood’s heart.”
“but why are y’all asking him ANYTHING about a pod ?!” Joe Budden hilariously asks his fans. “F*ck does he know… lmao.”
Although the state of The Joe Budden Podcast is still uncertain, Joe’s not so informative update about Rory and Mal’s return was pretty funny, which is probably why the Certfied Love Boy himself wanted to get in on the fun. In a comment under Joe’s original post, Drake proceeded to use the opportunity to roast Rory.
“I mean I saw Rory sipping a Sauvignon Blanc tonight and he made a toast,” Drake said, making fun of the JBP co-host, “but everyone else was engaged in coversation so his glass was hanging in the air for like a good 17 seconds before they clued in…if that’s any update.”
Drake recently got pretty heated while being trolled by Instagram comedian TravQue, so it appears that he’s now channeling that towards Rory. Jokes aside, the fact that Joe Budden feels comfortable enough to make fun of the Rory and Mal podcast situation hopefully means that he and his “The Joe Budden Podcast” co-hosts are getting closer to reuniting.
It’s fitting that the cover art of Night Lovell’s new project centers around a ghoulish grin. The Ottawa rapper has been steadily delivering his own unique blend of shadowy hip-hop for some time now, conjuring up distorted and nightmarish soundscapes to back his detached delivery. It’s been enough to elevate the young artist into somewhat of a cult hero, an underrated prospect that continues to run solid numbers.
Today, Lovell has come through to keep his momentum rolling, dropping off a new three-pack boasting the oxymoronic title of BOTTOM TOP. Clocking in at an immensely listenable six minutes, broken up into three two-ish minute songs.
Stylistically, Lovell continues to trudge deeper into the heart of darkness. The introductory title track finds him sliding over an uptempo banger, though not even the most frantic synthesizers could elicit a change in his tone. Easy highlight “Counting Down The List” features a heavy horrorcore vibe, driven by a chilling piano loop and an unsettling synth whine. Last but not least is “Alone,” the climactic track on which Lovell locks in with a focused flow over hard-hitting and distorted percussion.
Should you be looking to indulge in a little bit of under-the-radar Canadian hip-hop, Night Lovell’s BOTTOM TOP is a premium choice — especially if your musical preferences veer toward the dark and unsettling. If this is a prelude to his next studio album, perhaps Night Lovell’s best work is truly yet to come.
