Future Speaks On LeBron James Being A Huge Fan Of Him

by

As one of the most influential and beloved artists in the hip-hop world, Future’s received no shortage of praise. However, one of his most die-hard celebrity fans is none other than basketball superstar (and arguable GOAT) LeBron James. Moreover, the Los Angeles Laker often spoke of or displayed his love for Hendrix over the years. For example, he practically only played his track “March Madness” during the summer of 2015, telling a fan at that time that it was his favorite song. While on The Beat with Ari Melber on MSNBC, Melber asked him specifically about that relationship and on “being the soundtrack to so many people’s lives, including LeBron’s big moments.”

“It feel great,” Future remarked about LeBron James and his continued support of his music. “It just make keep me going, give me inspiration and motivation to just stay in the studio and keep coming up with different tunes, you know. Making that music. I love when people say certain things about it, and it just inspire me, when they say things about me say things about my career. It definitely inspire me.”

Future Appreciates LeBron James For His Support

Another prominent example of Bron’s love for Pluto is his answer to a question posed by RapCaviar back in 2021. Furthermore, the post posited J. Cole, Drake, and of course Kendrick Lamar as the “three kings” of the 2010s decade, placing them on a Mount Rushmore. Still, that comparison left one spot remaining, and fans debated over who else was the most dominant artist of that decade for a variety of reasons. Unsurprisingly, LeBron didn’t flinch with his answer. “Future Hendrix,” he replied to the Twitter account. Maybe he already answered this question before, but it would be crazy to hear what the 38-year-old’s favorite track from the “HOLY GHOST” MC is.

Much like Future’s dominance of the 2010s, LeBron James has become one of the greatest players in NBA history. A lot of that work came in the same decade, and his revered place even in hip-hop culture is unsurprising. After 20 years in the league, he crafted one of the most significant legacies in sports in recent memory. There might be some who scoff at the comparison, but Hendrix proved many times in that decade- and this decade, for that matter- that you can’t tell the story of modern hip-hop without him. Regardless of your take, come back to HNHH for the latest news and updates on Future and LeBron James.

Future, Kid Cudi, And Playboi Carti Headline Lyrical Lemonade’s 2023 Summer Smash

While a lot of attention has been lavished on Rolling Loud as the premiere hip-hop-oriented festival (and rightly so), Lyrical Lemonade’s Summer Smash, which takes place annually in the Chicago area, is quickly carving out a chunk of that regard for itself. It probably helps that Lyrical Lemonade is the brainchild of Cole Bennett and has produced music videos for just about every notable name in rap right now (as well as Jack Black, whose “Peaches” song from The Super Mario Bros. Movie is an inescapable earworm).

So it makes sense that the 2023 lineup for Summer Smash includes a great many of those notable names, including headliners Future, Kid Cudi, and Playboi Cart, along with “a very special Chicago guest” which probably means Chance The Rapper (or a hologram of Juice WRLD, you never know. As long as it ain’t Kanye). Meanwhile, the three-day festival — which takes place at SeatGeek Stadium in Bridgeview, IL on June 23-25 — also includes heavy hitters like Vince Staples, Ice Spice, GloRilla, Freddie Gibbs, Ski Mask The Slump God, G Herbo, Cordae, Juicy J, Trippie Redd, Lucki, Central Cee, Lil Skies, and Rico Nasty, and that’s just the top line of each of the three days.

The Weeknd Teases New Future Collab, Fans Say It’s “About To Be The Most Toxic Track Of The Century”

by

The Weeknd’s primary focus over the past few months has been his forthcoming HBO series, The Idol, but on Monday (April 10) night, the Canadian made it clear that he’s back in the studio working on his music. In fact, he’s got an incredible-sounding new collaboration with Future in the works, which he teased during last night’s Instagram Live session. During his stream, Abel Tesfaye confirmed that Mike Dean is responsible for the song’s production, which pairs perfectly with his beautiful vocals.

“Baby girl, I can tell that you think that I’m right for you / I already know that it’s not true, but girl I lie to you / Even though it’s wrong,” the R&B vocalist sings on the unnamed, unreleased joint effort. An official release date remains unknown at this time, though social media users have already declared it “the most toxic track of the century.” Elsewhere in the comments, someone pointed out that “Drake, Future, and The Weeknd world tour would do Celine Dion numbers.”

The Weeknd Previews Upcoming Music With Future on Live

Of course, this won’t be the first time we hear Hendrix and the Uncut Gems actor on the same beat. Their past collaborations include titles like “Low Life” from Future’s EVOL project, “Comin Out Strong” from his HNDRXX effort, and “All I Know,” which appears on the Toronto native’s Starboy. Seeing as all of those have gone on to find major success with listeners, it’s not shocking to see them connecting in the studio once again in hopes of making magic.

It remains unclear if Tesfaye is currently working on his follow-up to 2022’s DAWN FM, or if he’s simply experimenting with new sounds in the meantime. His most recent arrivals include “Nothing Is Lost (You Give Me Strength)” from the Avatar 2 soundtrack, as well as his Live At SoFi Stadium and Starboy (Deluxe) from earlier this year. Revisit one of The Weeknd and Future’s most popular past releases below, and make sure to check back later for more hip-hop and pop culture news updates.

Metro Boomin’s Woozy ‘Too Many Nights’ Video With Future Is Spotlighted By Don Toliver’s Quirky Dance Moves

by

As the youth say, Metro Boomin is outside. Not only is hit producer outside, he’s bringing his superstar friends Future and Don Toliver with him. The hip hop heavyweights linked up for the woozy yet epic music video for their collaborative song “Too Many Nights” off Metro Boomin’s latest album Heroes & Villains.

Co-directed by Boomin, Hidji World and Zac Facts the musicians show that if they’re going to work hard then they have to party equally as hard. In the late night into the wee hours of the morning shenanigans, the trio hop from a neon dancefloor, strip club, to the studio and more. Don Toliver keeps each location live showing off killer dance moves.

When asked by collaborating with the rapper, Boomin told GQ, “I told [Don Toliver], ‘Like 2001, you’ve got the Nate Dogg role.” The late singer Nate Dogg was famously know for delivering the perfect balance as a guest feature.

Later Boomin was sure to add, “You can still make great songs with them, but as a producer, it’s like, what are you bringing? You’ve got to break artists, you’ve got to bring new artists. That’s a big part of your duty.”

Fellow fashionable rapper A$AP Rocky makes a guest appearance in the visual. Another made an appearance in thoughts, Young Thug, as he is currented incarcerated. As the video closes, the group hold up t-shirt featuring the rapper’s picture with the word “FREE.”

Watch the full video for Metro Boomin’s song “Too Many Nights,” featuring Future and Don Toliver above.

It’s already been over four months since Metro Boomin’s HEROES & VILLAINS project landed, but still, the producer continues to share new visuals for the project’s 15 tracks. Others to already arrive include “Superhero” with Future, as well as “Creepin’ (Remix)” with The Weeknd, Diddy, and 21 Savage. His most recent effort finds the Atlanta native linking up with Hendrix once again, and also tapping Don Toliver to put together a lit music video for their “Too Many Nights” collaboration.

In the nearly three-and-a-half-minute-long clip, we see all three creatives in full party mode, bringing their energy to the dancefloor while singing and rapping for the camera. “I got it cool, for a ten / The bitch get loose, she tryna win,” the Cactus Jack artist croons early on in the song. “I beat up by the house, or beat her in / There’s forty in the couch, or let her spend.” For Future’s part, he closes “Too Many Nights” out with bars like “Bottega Veneta whenever you ride with me / It ain’t like I’m asking you to ride for free,” and “Too many nights, ’boutta crash (Skrrt) / Now I’m buyin’ the foreigns all cash.”

The new video is receiving plenty of praise online so far and has reached upwards of 136K streams on YouTube at the time of publication. The positive response is likely a major confidence boost for Metro, who’s gearing up to perform at Coachella over the next two weekends. According to HipHop-N-More, we’ll see some special guests joining the 29-year-old. Among them will likely be his HEROES & VILLAINS collaborators, such as Travis Scott, A$AP Rocky, and Young Nudy, among others.

The festival’s first weekend is due to launch this coming Friday (April 14), with Bad Bunny, BLACKPINK, and Frank Ocean headling. Other noteworthy acts taking the stage this year include Burna Boy, Kaytranada, Pusha T, Rosalía, $uicideboy$, Kali Uchis, Dominic Fike, and Rae Sremmurd. In fact, the latter duo just shared their fourth studio album ahead of their upcoming performance, which you can check out here. Are you heading to Coachella to catch Metro Boomin?
