Future & Metro Boomin Take A Victory Lap In Visuals For “Streets Made Me A King”

by

Future and Metro Boomin continue to prove that they are one of the most inseparable duos in hip-hop. After assisting Mr. Hendrix on his R&B-flavored sister album HNDRXX, the superstar beat craft from St. Louis, MO took some time away from his Atlanta brother. In fact, the hiatus went from 2018 to the very end of 2022. Even on Metro’s projects NOT ALL HEROES WEAR CAPES and SAVAGE MODE II did Pluto appear. But when “Superhero (Heroes & Villains)”dropped at midnight, December 2, all was right with the world. The two trap icons were reunited and that would be the start to their rekindling. Since then, they have gone on to release a tandem of projects this year, both of which figure to be in rotation for many beyond 2024.

The most recent is WE STILL DON’T TRUST YOU, the April sequel to the March LP, WE DON’T TRUST YOU. Quite a bit of fans are coming around to the former, after a lot of them were quite let down initially. It makes sense considering the fact that the first of the two albums was more hype and dark. Of course, it’s also got tracks such as “Like That”, the title track, “Type S***”, “WTFYM”, and more. WSDTY sees more R&B and melodic cuts like the ones we got on HNDRXX seven years ago. However, to appease the masses Future and Metro gave us more aggressive cuts on disc two, such as the closing song, “Streets Made Me A King”.

The braggadocious anthem about street life making Hendrix a star is a classic theme that fans eat up every time. It may not be one of the most popular cuts, but the track is a certified banger. For these albums, the Wonder Twins have put out a handful of music videos, and WSDTY is receiving its third. You can check them out taking a victory lap over the successes with the link below.

by

Raygun is a viral breakdancer from Australia whose real name is actually Rachel Gunn. Overall, she went viral at the Olympics for some truly horrendous dance moves. Many felt like her moves made a complete mockery of the art of breakdancing. Interestingly enough, Gunn is someone who has studied the art form extensively on an academic level. However, this schooling did not prevent her from embarrassing herself on the world stage.

There has since been a change.org petition leveled against her as some believe she cheated her way to the Olympics. Allegedly, there were more talented women breakdancers in Australia, although they got passed up for someone who should have never been there. Well, Raygun finally broke her silence with a video message, which you can check out down below. As you can see, she thanked her fans for their support, while also addressing some of the hate she has received.

Joe Budden & Kai Cenat Squash Their “Beef” With The Help Of A Mutual Friend

by

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.

Lil Woody Goes Viral For Asking Judge If He Can Show Up Late To Court

by

Lil Woody has been one of the largest elements to the YSL Rico trial so far. Overall, the case has had recusals, alleged tampering, and all sorts of twists and turns. At the center of it all is Young Thug, who is facing serious prison time if convicted. However, Woody has proven to be a bit of a wild card in all of this. He is the star witness who is supposed to provide the prosecution with testimony that could sink Thug’s chances of winning. That said, the witness has also been uncooperative, and that is to put it mildly.

Every single day, Lil Woody appears to go viral for his antics during the trial. There are days where he is simply cracking jokes, or others where he will speak for a little bit and then completely change the subject as to delay the process. Yesterday, Woody went viral yet again, this time for his question to the judge about Friday’s proceedings. Woody was told he had to come to the courthouse for 9 AM. However, he ended up asking the judge if he could come for 10 instead.

Lil Woody Continues To Make Waves

Clearly, 9 AM was simply a bit too early for Woody in this case. It was yet another example of how he may not be taking this all that seriously. As for the judge, she had a bit of a laugh at the question, although she did tell him that he was to report to the court at 9 AM, no ifs, ands, or buts. For now, it remains to be seen how Friday will go. All we do know is that a lot of people just want Thugger to be free, and they want that to happen sooner rather than later.

Let us know what you think about the trial so far, in the comments section down below. Do you believe that Lil Woody is just playing with the court at this point? What do you think will be the final conclusion to his testimony? 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.
