Phife Rules The City In His Posthumous ‘Nutshell Pt 2’ Video With Busta Rhymes And Redman

Although the video for Phife’s “Nutshell Pt. 2” was delayed for nearly four years, the fallen hip-hop legend actually does appear in the clip alongside his co-stars Busta Rhymes and Redman. Decked out in his customary New York Knicks orange and blue, Phife delivers his densely-worded verse at a diner with his fellow Big Apple denizens as they flex their way through their freestyle flows and celebrate the late, great Phife.

The video, directed by Tony Reames and produced by Dion “Rasta Root” Liverpool, also features cameos from A Tribe Called Quest’s Q-Tip and frequent collaborator Consequence. Phife worked on the video and his upcoming album Forever prior to his death in 2016, with his family praising his efforts in a press release:

“He worked really hard to complete his album before he transitioned, and he was ready to share an album that was near and dear to his heart with his fans. His fans meant the world to him.”

“Nutshell Pt. 2” was rolled out impressively over the last several weeks after being announced in February. It was released the next day, with a lyrics video following shortly after. The video arrives on the fifth anniversary of Phife Dawg’s passing.

Adidas Yeezy 700 V3 “Kyanite” Gets New Release Date

Kanye West’s Yeezy brand has made him the richest black man in the history of the United States and he is showing absolutely no signs of slowing down anytime soon. The artist and sneaker designer has been churning out new Adidas Yeezy colorways and models as of late, and in 2021, there are plenty of dope offerings on the way.

One of the models that have been teased quite a bit as of late is the Adidas Yeezy 700 V3 “Kyanite” which can be found in the images below. This model has a mostly white base, while blue appears on the sides. There is a gum outsole all while the tongue is black. It has that dad shoe aesthetic that fans love so much, and the colorway is unique enough to entice those who perhaps haven’t even tried out the sneaker yet. Overall, it’s a shoe that is perfect for the Spring, and fans will be able to get a hold of it sooner rather than later.

If you want a pair, you will be able to cop as of Thursday, March 25th when these drop on the Confirmed App for $200 USD. Let us know what you think of them, in the comments below.

Lloyd Banks & Benny The Butcher Are Plotting

Lloyd Banks is up to something. That much is clear. For starters, the Punchline King has been hard at work in the studio, having recently teased an upcoming track that left his fans eager for some new music from the New York lyricist. And while Banks has been known to move at his own methodical pace, it would appear that he has been steadily plotting on his return, confirming that he and Benny The Butcher have a collaboration tucked away in the stash.

The revelation arose following the release of Benny The Butcher’s  The Plugs I Met 2, a project on which a Banks feature would have felt right at home. After one fan openly wished for a duet between Benny and Banks, the PLK actually took to Twitter to issue a promising response. “Very soon..” he confirmed, alluding to what many have already concluded — Lloyd Banks has something in the works, and by his own admission, it won’t be much longer before it lands.

Of course, “very soon” seldom means exactly what you might think, at least not in the rap game. Still, even with the uncertainty surrounding a possible release date, it’s reassuring to know that 2021 may very well bring a new Lloyd Banks tape into the mix, and one that features a verse from Benny The Butcher at that. Check out his confirmation below and sound off if you’re looking foward to some new music from the Punchline King. 

Lil Uzi Vert Announces “The Real Uzi 2”

It can be admittedly difficult to track the whims of Lil Uzi Vert, especially when he lets them fly in social media onslaughts. Yet those who have perfected the art of interpretation have actually made many-a-discovery based on Uzi’s Twitter feed, including the recent revelation about his upcoming project — one that should please day-one fans of the Philadelphia rapper.

Last night, Lil Uzi took to Twitter to share the news that he’s been steadily plotting on the release of The Real Uzi 2, a sequel to his debut mixtape from 2014. In case you need a refresher, The Real Uzi featured hosting from Don Cannon and guest appearances from A$AP Ant, Gillie Da Kid, Lee Mazin, and Kur. It’s almost surreal to revisit the formative drop, a massive stylistic departure from where the beloved artist stands today, at least musically speaking.

One has to wonder what prompted him to revisit The Real Uzi, let alone begin work on a full-fledged sequel, but many fans reacted to the announcement with a blend of curious optimism. It wouldn’t be the first time Uzi has lined up sequel to an existing project, having recently dropped off second chapters of both Luv Is Rage and Lil Uzi Vert Vs. The World. In fact, it would be more surprising if Uzi didn’t deliver a sequel at this stage, given the pattern he has established thus far. 

Are you excited to see how this one plays out? 

Giannis Antetokounmpo Becomes Latest Superstar To Suffer Injury

Over these last few days, it seems as though every single superstar in the NBA has suffered a big injury. On Saturday, LeBron James suffered a sprained ankle and on Sunday, LaMelo Ball fractured his wrist. Even Kevin Durant has been hit with the injury bug as the Nets superstar is dealing with a lingering hamstring problem. Now, the latest player to suffer an injury is none other than Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo.

According to Marc Stein of The New York Times, Giannis is actually dealing with a sprained left knee, which means he will now have to miss some valuable time out on the court. In fact, Giannis has been ruled out of tonight’s game against the Indiana Pacers, which means the Bucks are going to be a man short against a team that has proven to be scrappy.

At this stage, there is no real timeline for when he will be back on the floor, although with the Bucks in third place in the Eastern Conference, there is no real reason to rush him just yet. There is still plenty of time before the start of the playoffs, and it seems likely that Giannis will be back sooner rather than later.

Keep it locked to HNHH as we will be sure to bring you all of the latest news coming out of the NBA.

Money Man Catches A Vibe On “For You”

It seems like Money Man is picking up where he left off. 2020 was a massive year for the rapper who found success with the release of the Lil Baby-assisted remix to “24,” the single he released in dedication to Kobe Bryant. Since then, he’s maintained a stronghold on the rap game. Independently, at that.

The luxury of being independent of the major label machine allows Money Man to move at his own pace, which means fans are constantly receiving something new to vibe to. This weekend, the rapper delivered a brand new single, titled, “For You.” The muddy vocals over guitar-laden production are present as ever as Money Man reflects on love and wealth.

Check out the latest offering from Money Man below and keep your eyes peeled for new music.

Quotable Lyrics
I pull up like Harden and shoot out the dribble,
I’m good and I’m evil, I’m stuck in the middle
I’m rocking them Jimmy Choo Tim’s with the crystals
He look at me wrong he get popped like a ‘ciscle
