Lil Durk continues to prove himself to be one of the most in-demand rappers in the world. He’s dropped hit singles, won Grammy Awards, and now he’s prepping for the release of his new album, Love Songs 4 the Streets 3. Durk has not only released the tracklist for the album, but the list of features as well. And we’ll be honest with you. The rapper might have the most eclectic and star-studded list of collabs of any rapper in 2024. Truly, Love Songs 4 the Streets 3 is going to be an incredible snapshot of this year in pop culture.
Let’s start with the most surprising features. Lil Durk has always linked up with other notable rappers. But nobody could have predicted that he would land a Sabrina Carpenter feature. Carpenter has been one of the breakout stars of 2024, if not the breakout star. It’ll be fascinating to hear how they sound together. The other names that are surprising to see on Lil Durk’s tracklist aren’t even rappers! iShowSpeed and Kai Cenat are two of the biggest streamers in the world. Yet, they will appear on the song “War Scars” together. We really have no clue what to expect there.
Where do you go after pop stars and streamers? Country, of course. Lil Durk is going to drip into another genre bag thanks to his Morgan Wallen collab “Come Home.” Rod Wave is also featured on what’s bound to be one of the biggest stylistic switch-ups of Durk’s entire career. Lil Baby and Future are slated to be on the songs “Sing this Song” and “Anti Hero,” respectively. Though their inclusion makes way more sense given the style Durk usually works in. The biggest question, though, revolves around the 6 God. Drake was supposed to be on the song “Discontinuing Wockhardt,” but it looks like he was cut from the album version. Since the other features are listed, it’s safe to assume Drake isn’t merely being hidden for dramatic effect.
Kai Cenat is huge. He’s become one of the most popular streamers on the planet. As a result, he can kind of do whatever he wants. And what he wants to right now is play basketball. Cenat decided to help launch the Little Basketball Association, also known as the Little Ballers Association this past weekend. As the title suggests, the league is meant to give court time to the next generation of basketball talent. Kai Cenat has drawn praise for his decision to launch the league, but his burgeoning passion to play ball has led to some well-intentioned ribbing from Lil Yachty.
Lil Yachty attended an LBA game and was actually interviewed during the stream. The rapper made it clear that he respected what Kai Cenat has done. He went as far as to say that Cenat was an innovator when it came to making online content. “Man, I think he is so innovative,” Yachty asserted. “As far as like content creating. You can say what you want, you can hate, but who would’ve thought of this?” Boat then praised the streamer for taking time out to try to make a positive impact on kids’ lives. The interview took a turn, though, when the interviewer told Lil Yachty that Cenat ended his streaming career to pursue a career in basketball. As far as Yachty was concerned, that was a bad move.
“That took a lot of courage,” the rapper said. “[But] he should come out of retirement… cuse this ain’t a promising career.” He was asked what advice to give to Cenat if he was his coach, and he proceeded to get even more blunt. “Give up the ball more,” Lil Yachty asserted. “Cuse his shots ain’t going in.” All this is going on in a split screen stream where Cenat can be seen struggling on the court. The timing was pure coincidence, but it’s undeniably funny to watch lined up.
Kai Cenat officially announced his streaming retirement on September 22. “I’m quitting streaming and becoming a professional basketball player,” he wrote with no additional context. “Goodbye.” The tweet was followed up three days later with a video link and a promise that he will be going professional in the upcoming draft. The general reaction has been confusion, with many fans wondering if the streamer is merely trolling, or doing a bit for the sake of garnering more attention. We will know for sure in due time.
With a clean mix of white, university red, and neutral grey, it maintains a timeless appeal. However, the “Low Poly” edition adds a unique twist, featuring a pixelated aesthetic inspired by early 3D modeling techniques. This digital influence gives the shoe a futuristic vibe while staying grounded in its classic roots. It is certainly a standout option for both longtime fans and new collectors. Nike is rolling out this release through its .SWOOSH platform, offering members the chance to preorder the Air Max 1 “Low Poly.”
The Air Max 1 “Low Poly” underscores Nike’s ability to innovate while honoring its heritage. By merging traditional design with modern digital aesthetics, Nike continues to redefine the sneaker landscape. This release is not just about footwear; it’s about the future of sneaker culture, blending the physical and digital worlds in a way only Nike can. Be sure to mark your calendars for this exciting drop, as it’s poised to be a key moment in the evolution of the Air Max 1.
Sneaker Bar Detroit reports that the Nike Air Max 1 “Low Poly” will be released on October 8th. Also, the retail price of the sneakers will be $150 when they are released. Further, make sure to let us know what you think about these kicks in the comments below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the most recent updates and news from the sneaker community.

Shannon Sharpe went viral on Wednesday afternoon, but not for reasons he was hoping for. The Hall of Fame tight end-turned-wildly popular sports commentator accidentally went live on Instagram while having sex with a woman. The internet was shocked, and Sharpe’s social media manager quickly issued a post claiming he was hacked. Of course, that was not true, and Sharpe addressed the reality of the situation on his Nightcap podcast with Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson that evening. He admitted that the live was accidental, and he was deeply embarrassed by what happened earlier in the day. After his initial apologies, Sharpe and Johnson got some jokes in, bringing some levity to the situation.
Twitch streamer Kai Cenat appeared on the Thursday evening episode of Nightcap, dubbed “The Roast of Shannon Sharpe.” The episode featured a rotating cast of characters, including Snoop Dogg, Cam Newton, and comedians Godfrey and Lavell Crawford. Cenat also made some jokes at Sharpe’s expense and gave him some advice so that he can avoid a repeat.
“Hey, Shannon, stop being so freaky, bro,” said Kai Cenat. “Next time, put your phone all the way in the next room, alright? Before you get that pu**y bro, put the phone in the next room, okay?” Sharpe jokingly responded that he’s going to leave his phone in the car. After Cenat left the stream, Sharpe made a few remarks in jest about Cenat’s height. “He ain’t even 5’5 […] Yeah, he’s about 5’3,” he said to Johnson.
This situation has been the source of many memes over the last couple of days, and Sharpe has been taking it in stride. After learning what happened on his Instagram live, he reached out to ESPN to let them know. ESPN decided that no disciplinary action would be made against him, likely because he was upfront with them about everything that happened. It is nice to see Sharpe be able to laugh at himself after such a blunder. Hopefully, he’ll be careful with his social media next time.
Still, streamer Kai Cenat wanted to test the validity of these claims. In a video recorded backstage at the 2024 VMAs (viewable here), Kai challenged Snoop Dogg to see how quickly he could roll a blunt.
“Snoop, how fast can you roll up a blunt,” asked Kai.
Without hesitation, Snoop replied: “Before this song ends.”
The song in question was Shirley Murdock’s beloved 1985 single, “As We Lay.”
Although neither opted to begin an official timer, sure enough before the ballad could end Snoop completed the mission, all while featuring his Death Row Cannabis line. Back in 2019, Snoop Dogg revealed that he actually hired a full-time blunt roller. According to him, she’s already rolled about half a million marijuana cigarettes during her tenure.
But don’t get it twisted, with Snoop catching his first high in the 1970s and maintaining a habit of on average 81 blunts a day, he proved to Kai Cenat that he is never to be questioned again.
There are few YouTubers whose charisma has mesmerized a generation like Duke Dennis. The YouTuber’s quick wit, magnetic personality, and undeniable “rizz” have made him a generational icon. Duke’s ascended to the forefront of YouTube and Twitch, garnering millions of followers of young viewers who’ve witnessed his impeccable rise. He’s grown his channel significantly from NBA 2K gameplay to a bonafide influencer whose on-camera presence has created some amazing content.
This week, Dennis garnered newfound attention after Rolling Stone named him at #5 on their list of the 25 Most Influential Creators list – a feat that came after years of grinding. Then a few days later, Drakeposted the South Carolina native in a series of photos on Instagram where he jokingly referred to Duke as his selfie influence. Evidently, Duke’s impact extends well beyond the streaming world.
Duke Dennis, born Dontavious Tony Dennis on February 26, 1994, in Greenville, South Carolina, came from modest beginnings in the DeeBlock neighborhood of the City Heights’ apartment complex. Growing up, Duke faced the challenges of life in a small town, where opportunities were limited, and the dream of making it big seemed far-fetched. A self-described nerd who was into anime, Despite these challenges, Duke found solace and escape in video games, particularly in NBA 2K and began sharing gaming videos on YouTube.
However, before YouTube, Duke had a stint in the U.S. Army, where he served for a brief period. His time in the military instilled in him a sense of discipline and work ethic that would later become crucial in his YouTube career. After leaving the army, Duke returned to his passion for gaming, this time with a plan to turn it into something more than just a hobby.
Rise To Fame On YouTube
Duke Dennis’s rise to fame began with his NBA 2Kgameplay videos. He launched his gamer channel in 2013, though once he began sharing NBA 2K content, he garnered more subscribers. Like many gamers, his early videos showcased his skills in the game. However, he distinguished himself from other gamers on YouTube through his engaging commentary and relatable personality. Eventually, his blend of knowledge and his ability to entertain became the launching pad for his career.
As his channel grew, Duke expanded his content to include more than just gameplay. He began sharing personal stories, reacting to viral content, vlogs, and collaborating with other YouTubers. His versatility and willingness to adapt helped him build a loyal fanbase. By 2020, Duke had solidified his place in the YouTube community, with his videos regularly attracting millions of views.
Though not as prolific of a streamer as Kai Cenat or Agent 00, Duke Dennis has garnered quite the following on Twitch. There, he brings his gaming content to the fore along with his Story Time series while also engaging with his vast fanbase. He’s also welcomed several celebrities on his platform, too, such as Rich Homie Quan and his ex-girlfriend, Kaliii.
Joining AMP: The Collective That Changed the Game

In 2020, Duke Dennis’s career took a significant leap forward when he became a member of the AMP (Any Means Possible) Collective. AMP is a group of content creators known for their dynamic and entertaining videos that blend gaming, challenges, vlogs, and comedy. Given his charisma and gaming expertise, Duke’s inclusion in AMP was a natural fit.
At the time, AMP consisted of Duke Dennis, Fanum, Agent 00, and Davis. However, the collective has since expanded with the inclusion of ChrisNxtDoor, who was previously a video editor for AMP, and Kai Cenat, who is undoubtedly the reigning king of Twitch right now. Together, they blended gaming, skits, and real-life challenges that turned them into one of the most entertaining YouTube conglomerates online. The group currently lives in a mansion together in Georgia where they stream and create content. Oftentimes, the lore behind their streams overlaps with one another, making it feel closer to a reality show than it does a live stream.
The Power of “Rizz”

So, what is it about Duke Dennis that has mesmerized a generation? The answer lies in his “rizz.” In today’s social media-driven world, “rizz” refers to a person’s charisma, charm, and ability to attract others effortlessly. Duke Dennis embodies this concept perfectly. His laid-back demeanor, confident yet approachable nature and sense of humor make him a magnetic presence on screen.
Duke’s natural charm with women has become a significant factor in his popularity and sometimes, has been a sore spot among his fellow AMP members. He often excels in AMP challenge videos, whether those that allow his athletic talents to shine or see the collective competing for a date with one woman. However, even videos such as his recent trips to Paris and Toronto showcase his pull outside of America.
As his brand grew, Duke Dennis’s contributions to YouTube and streaming haven’t gone unnoticed. His content earned recognition on Rolling Stone’s Top 25 Influential Creators of 2024 list. Recognized for his 2K content and IRL streams, the publication wrote, “Dennis, 30, has his biggest following on TikTok, where his charm with the ladies has made him an almost mythic figure for teenage boys. He still has millions of subscribers on YouTube, though, where he posts videos of IRL street games in New York and hanging out behind the scenes at the Super Bowl.”
While Duke’s only beginning to get his rightful credit these days, we suspect that this will be the beginning of a major career moment. As AMP leaves New York City and returns to Atlanta, it seems like Duke and the rest of his groupmates have major plans for the year to come.
Drake remains one of the most popular artists in the entire world. Despite his recent feud with Kendrick Lamar, there is no denying that Drizzy maintains a rabid fanbase. Overall, he has ride or die fans that will defend him until the very end. Moreover, his Spotify streams are doing just fine right now, even if his most recent releases haven’t had the impact he would have hoped for. If anything, the artist still has some incredibly famous friends, especially in the streaming world.
One of those friends is none other than Kai Cenat. These two have had conversations in the past, although they have yet to officially stream together. One has to figure that a collab of this sort is likely to happen sooner rather than later. However, last night, Drake found himself concerned with Cenat’s marathon stream with iShowSpeed. The two megastars are playing Minecraft, a game meant for kids that can be pretty aimless. This confused the superstar artist, who texted Kai in the middle of the stream with some questions.
In the clip above, you can see Kai alert Speed to the fact that Drake just texted them to ask what the point of Minecraft is. The visual of Drake being confused by the game is pretty humorous, and now, the clip is beginning to make the rounds online. Perhaps Drake should download the game and hop online. If he were to stream this with Speed and Kai, it would likely be much bigger than his Fortnite stream with Ninja, which is really saying something.
Let us know your thoughts on Drake and his proximity to streamers, in the comments section down below. Do you believe that the artist should be collaborating with the likes of Cenat and Speed? What do you make of Drake’s latest releases? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will continue to keep you informed on all of your favorite artists and their upcoming projects.
Kai Cenat and IShowSpeed are up to even more antics as they were seen taking a shower together on livestream. According to Metro, the two massively popular multimedia figures did so after playing Minecraft for two days straight. For those who are not familiar with the sandbox game there are multiple modes to play the game on. You have “Creative”, which allows the player to not die and build anything they want with unlimited materials. Then, there’s “Survival”. In that mode you have to collect everything yourself and you can die. There is a variant called “Hardcore” and when you die you lose all of your progress, and you’ll have to start from scratch.
As you know, Kai and Speed love to try anything so they attempted to beat Minecraft and its final mob boss, the Ender Dragon, on “Hardcore”. However, after getting to that point after their reported 14th attempt (25 hours of gameplay), Cenat died. A therapist was even brought in to try and calm these two balls of energy down, but to no avail. The livestream started on August 17, and they apparently aren’t stopping until they beat Minecraft.
In apparent attempt to try and find some method of relaxation and stress relief, Kai Cenat and IShowSpeed decided to shower together, two days into the marathon. However, during the recording, Speed was getting too close for Cenat’s liking. “Your [shower] is over there!”, Cenat said. “I’m just washing my body bro”, Speed replied. “In front of me?!”, Cenat questioned. “Stop being weird, we’re bros, this is what bros do. You ain’t never taken a shower with your homeboy?”, Speed asked. “No… that’s a**”. Some fans were weirded out as well. “Remember, kids see and follow everything .. be mindful of the examples you set.. everything isn’t funny or worth posting.” However, there were some who pointed out locker room layouts. “I mean men shower in locker rooms together”.
What are your thoughts on Kai Cenat and IShowSpeed showering together on stream? Is this one of the weirder things you have seen these two do? Do you agree with some of the comments about not needing to post everything? How much longer will it take for them to beat Minecraft? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Kai Cenat and IShowSpeed.

Lil Uzi Vert is one of the most popular artists in hip-hop. Overall, they were part of the 2016 XXL Freshman List that has stood the test of time. However, their last project Pink Tape turned out to be a big disappointment for a lot of fans out there. From the bloated tracklist to the horrendous System of a Down cover, there were some poor choices made. Since that time, Uzi has teased other projects like Barter 16, which never actually came to fruition.
Now, Uzi has moved on to promoting another project that fans have been waiting for,LUV Is Rage 3. The LUV Is Rage series has been a staple of Uzi’s discography ever since they burst onto the scene. Consequently, it should come as absolutely no surprise that fans would be excited about such a release. Well, on Sunday night, they called into Kai Cenat’s stream with iShowSpeed, and unveiled some critical information about the project.
As Uzi told Kai in the video clip up above, they are in the midst of finishing up the new album. Of course, no release date was given, so fans are just going to have to Uzi’s word for it. Understandably, this is hard to do given Uzi’s history of promising albums and then refusing to deliver. Regardless, perhaps Uzi fans can rest easy knowing that there is at least some hope for a new album. Uzi has been on a three-year release schedule over the past couple of albums, so you may have to wait until 2026. Hopefully, it is worth it.
Let us know if you are excited for this upcoming project, in the comments section down below. Do you believe that Lil Uzi Vert is going to come through for the fans on this one? Or do you believe this will be yet another scrapped project? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will continue to keep you informed on all of your favorite artists and their upcoming projects.
Joe Budden is one of the biggest podcasters in the hip-hop world. Kai Cenat is easily one of the biggest streamers on Twitch. Overall, these two come from very different generations of the internet. However, their goals and talents are quite similar. With their generational divide, there has seemingly been a bit of a misunderstanding between the two. After all, Budden is known for some fiery rants that can be offputting for those he is targeting.
Following the infamous giveaway in New York that got Cenat arrested, Joe Budden went off on the young content creator. Moreover, Budden had words for Cenat after Drake continued to use him for the rollout of For All The Dogs. This led to more strong words between the two, and there has seemingly been a feud ever since. However, it was all squashed recently thanks to a stream that Cenat did with QueenzFlip. Flip is one of Budden’s co-hosts, and he made sure that everything was cordial between these parties.
In the clip above, you can see the two engage in a quick phone call. During the call, Budden notes that he has love for Cenat and only had an issue with the New York giveaway. Cenat wanted Budden to show him some love, and the veteran rapper did just that. Needless to say, if you had any vested interest in Budden and Cenat’s relationship, you are going to enjoy this update. Only time will tell whether or not these two ever link up for some in-person content.
Let us know how you feel about all of this, in the comments section down below. Do you believe that the feud between Kai Cenat and Joe Budden was really that serious? How do you feel about Cenat’s rise to fame over these past couple of years? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world.
