David Njoku Shows Off Full-Face Burns From Accident At Home

by

David Njoku has shown off the extent of the damage caused by a fire pit accident at his home. In pictures posted online this week, Njoku showed that his face is nearly entirely covered with painful burns. Njoku covered his face with a custom medical mask when entering the Browns facility in the first game after theinjury, meaning that this was the first time that the extent of his injuries had been seen. Furthermore, the Browns were on a bye this past weekend.

However, Njoku is also putting the unfortunate incident to good use. He has launched a clothing company called Withstand and will be donating a portion of the profits to the American Burn Association. Njoku is currently listed as questionable on the Browns’ injury report. Njoku has fully leaned into the persona the burns have given him. He tweeted “the flesh is weak” when arriving at the Browns facility. Furthermore, he has posted several gifs of the Joker and other Batman villains as part of this commitment to the bit.

Njoku was listed as questionable on the latest Browns’ injury report, meaning that there is a chance he could play against the Niners this weekend. He has 138 yards on 16 catches this season as the Browns sit at 2-2. They face a major test this week as they take on the Niners. San Francisco has emrged as one of the best teams in the league this season. The Niners enter the game as overwhelming favorites, per ESPN‘s win probability analytics.

The Browns as a whole have been largely uninspiring in Deshaun Watson’s first full season with the team. The controversial quarterback has less than 1000 years through three games and has only thrown for four touchdowns. Of course, the Browns’ offense was also stymied by the loss of Nick Chubb to a season-ending injury. However, it is especially painful as the Browns do not own their own draft picks this year. Furthermore, they are completely locked into Watson’s massive contract.

Kendrick Lamar Songs From 2013 Surface Online

by

Kendrick Lamar has been on top of the rap game for a decade, and even his leaks get more buzz than a lot of big releases. Moreover, two new songs from the Compton legend from 2013 just surfaced online, these being “Crooked” and “Burn.” The former is a West Coast banger with chopped organ samples, a G-funk-inspired synth, and sharp snares. On the other hand, “Burn” has some jazzier tendencies, like warm piano chords, dynamic bass, and a simple backbeat. Of course, both are lyrical gems, with Kendrick’s storytelling, hard-hitting phrasing, vivid detail, and shifting flows on full display.

Furthermore, every new leak from the “Hood Politics” MC continues to prove the consistency and interconnectivity of his catalog. However, that’s not even referring to the quality of the track, although his consistency extends to that, as well. Instead, it’s fascinating to see the thematic and narrative throughlines in his career stretching all the way to Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers. His personal experience lended him a nuanced but still gritty perspective on race, violence, and morality, and it’s one that he’s been perfecting for years.

2013-Era Kendrick Lamar Tracks Surface

Still, that’s not to say that Kendrick Lamar has only stuck to that comfort zone throughout his career. The 35-year-old is as prone to dropping an introspective track like “Father Time” as he is a banger like “DNA,” which recently celebrated its sixth anniversary. With that said, leaks also give fans a peek at the creative process it took to get to landmark albums like To Pimp A Butterfly. If these leaks are our only reference point, we can assume that he started off making grimier and more classically hip-hop centric tracks. Eventually, that turned into the fusion of jazz, funk, soul, rap, spoken word, and much more that became one of the best albums of the decade.

Meanwhile, it’s staggering to hear quality leaks like these at the same time as the pgLang boss reaches some of his highest commercial peeks. It’s like we’re constantly seeing two sides to Kendrick, which is unsurprising given his artistic attention to the concept of duality. Still, it’s crazy to think that ten years after recording, these songs would’ve still hit hard at the highest-grossing rap tour of all time. Regardless, check back in with HNHH for the latest news and updates on Kendrick Lamar.

Juice WRLD Watches The World ‘Burn’ After Multiple Asteroids Hit Earth In His New Video

by

This past Friday, Juice WRLD estate and record label released the late rapper’s second posthumous album, Fighting Demons, which featured appearances from Justin Bieber, Polo G, Trippie Redd, Eminem, and BTS’ Suga. They also dropped a new video for the album’s intro track, “Burn,” which finds Juice in the studio with friends as he raps about his battles with addiction and anxiety. It also shows an asteroid attacking Earth, leaving people scrambling for shelter as the world around them burns.

Juice’s “Burn” video and Fighting Demons arrive ahead of the upcoming HBO Max documentary Juice WRLD: Into The Abyss, which will premiere on the platform on December 16 and delves into his struggles with mental health. “When you’re a fan of this sh*t, you look at it from a certain perspective,” he can be heard saying in a trailer for the upcoming film. “But when you’re in it, you see it for what it really is. I’m still happy I could change the world, but… It’s not what it looks like.”

He continues, “If you’ve got anxiety [or] depression, they all look at you like you’re crazy; that’s not how it should be [but] that’s how it is, and that needs to change. And hopefully I’m one of those people that could bring that change.”

You can watch the video for “Burn” above.
