Kota The Friend’s New Single Takes Us On A Short & Sweet Trip To “Oregon”

December 24, 2023 by newhiphopnews

This time last year, 31-year-old Kota the Friend concluded 2022 on a confident note with “I’m Really It B**ch.” After a rollercoaster ride of emotions throughout 2023, he’s back with “Oregon,” a brand new single. It tells the story of a man reflecting on the high price that can come with fame and fortune, or even the American Dream.

“‘Wanna hear a story, son? / It’s not long, won’t last ’til the morning come,” Kota rhymes while channelling the older male protagonist of his tale. “‘Know I look a little rough when I’m off the drugs / Let me tell you ’bout my life, won’t cost you none’” he continues before looking back on his more wild years. The storyteller went from a “simple” schedule of “fishing and living it up” to later indulging in weed and white wine in hopes of cutting out some of the stress from his new, high-paying job.

Kota the Friend Ends His Year On a Bright Note

“I was living in the fast life, getting this cash right / Noticing it came with a bad price,” Kota’s lyrics caution listeners. “Five, ten, twenty years pass me by / And that grind shit ran me dry.” To end “Oregon,” we hear the old man tell how he left the city life to head back to a small town where he found happiness all around without having to look too hard, or overwork himself. “Before you hit the road / Make sure that what you covet is better than what you own / Just wanted to let you know,” the clever track concludes.

Check out Kota the Friend’s final release of 2023, “Oregon,” above. If you’re feeling the short and sweet single, you can find it on Spotify/Apple Music. For more HNHH release recommendations, check out Conway The Machine’s latest LP, Palermo, at the link below.

Quotable Lyrics:

I was living in the fast life, getting this cash right
Noticing it came with a bad price
Five, ten, twenty years pass me by
And that grind s**t ran me dry

Deion Sanders Has Harsh Words For Colorado Ahead Of Oregon Clash

September 21, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Colorado may be 3-0 but Deion Sanders is far from happy. Sanders had some harsh truths for his team as they prepare to open Pac-12 play against #10 Oregon. “We haven’t played a complete game. We have not played a game where the offense, defense as well as special teams has all shown up in the same manner. If the offense is playing well, the defense is hot garbage. If the defense is playing well, offense is horrible and special teams aren’t special, so we got to put it all together to be able to defeat a team like Oregon,” Sanders said.

The comments come after Colorado beat in-state rivals Colorado State by eight in double overtime despite entering the game as 23.5-point favorites. Furthermore, the Buffs needed an 11-point fourth-quarter comeback to even force overtime in the first place. They enter their first Pac-12 matchup of the season as 21-point underdogs. Of the other five ranked v ranked matchups this week, only one other (Iowa @ Penn State) has a double-digit favorite.

Sanders Invested In Long-Term Plan For Sons

Elsewhere, and despite the criticism, Sanders is clearly preparing to build the Buffs around his sons Shedeur and Shilo. While Shilo (senior) and Shedeur (junior) are draft-eligible in 2024, Coach Dad doesn’t seem thrilled at the idea of losing the two key starters. “Shilo said, ‘Oh, wow, Shedeur, look. You gonna be in the NFL next year.’ I said, ’No he ain’t.’ …You all ain’t going nowhere,” Deion said in a video posted by Well Off Media. The comments were made while taking in the Denver Broncos’ loss to the Commanders.

The Sanders brothers have been key additions to a surging Colorado squad this year. Shedeur (QB) has 1251 yards and 10 touchdowns through three games. His respective career bests are 3732 yards and 40 touchdowns. Meanwhile, Shilo (Safety) has 19 tackles and a pick-six. Both would likely be high draft picks if they declared. Pat McAfee has already labeled Shedeur as a top-three pick. However, it appears that they will have to wait until at least 2025 before they leave for the pros. If true, that means they will play a season of Big 12 football before leaving college.

Mad Dog Outlines Hilarious Plan For Watching Deion Sanders’ Colorado Take On Oregon

September 20, 2023 by newhiphopnews

You can always rely on Christopher “Mad Dog” Russo to bring his signature wild flavor to First Take. The veteran TV personality joined Stephen A. and Marcus Spears to discuss Colorado’s 3-0 start to the season and their impending Pac-12 opener against #10 Oregon. Then the segment went completely off the rails as Mad Dog outlined his exact plans for catching the night game on Saturday.

First, Mad Dog will be in Flagstaff visiting his son. His day starts with a run and some dog walking before he loosens up with a midday cocktail and a gummie and turns on the afternoon slate of college games. Once he’s “good and sauced”, he will call “Fat Rob” (his bookie) and drop “10 dimes” on Colorado before taking the rest of the gummie and watching the game. It’s a truly wild plan and all we can say is that we hope he enjoys it.

Mad Dog Betting Big On Colorado Upset

However, perhaps the most surprising part of Mad Dog’s day is the $10,000 bet on Colorado. Per ESPN, Colorado are 21-point underdogs against the #10 Ducks. Of the other four ranked v ranked games this weekend, only one other (Iowa @ Penn State) has a double-digit underdog. It’s a major leap of faith in a program about to play its make-or-break game. Furthermore, given the competitiveness of the Pac-12 in the conference’s final season, even just one conference loss could rule you out of the race for the conference title.

At the time of writing, Colorado has six ranked opponents in conference play. Their conference home opener pits them against #5 USC and Heisman favorite Caleb Williams. However, they must also take on 22 UCLA, #14 Oregon State, #21 Washington State, and #11 Utah. Let’s hope, at least for the sake of Mad Dog’s wallet, that Colorado can prove their doubters wrote and score the late-night upset in Eugene. Do you think Colorado can pull it off, especially without Travis Hunter? Let us know in the comments. Follow all the latest sports news here at HotNewHipHop.

Nike Dunk Low “Oregon” Revealed: Release Details

February 22, 2023 by newhiphopnews

One of the best sneakers ever made is the Nike Dunk Low. At this point, everyone knows just how great the Nike Dunk is. Although it lost a bit of its popularity a few years ago, there is no doubt that this shoe is back in a big way. With each passing day, it feels like a new Nike Dunk has been unveiled. Whether it be the low-top or high-top versions, Nike has been doing some cool stuff with this silhouette. Overall, if you are a sneakerhead, you cannot help but be excited about all of the great colorways that are out there.

One of the big campaigns that Nike has pushed in relation to the Dunk is the “Be True To Your School” activation. This is a campaign that takes Nike-sponsored schools and gives them Nike Dunks with the school’s colors. Consequently, we have gotten a whole plethora of school-based offerings. All of them have been spectacular, and they definitely go a long way in terms of demonstrating school pride.

“Oregon” Nike Dunk Low

The latest “Be True To Your School” sneaker is the Nike Dunk Low “Oregon.” Oregon is a school that has been getting Nike and Jumpman-related sneakers for years. That said, it only makes sense that they would be blessed with a Nike Dunk Low with its gorgeous and iconic colors. Firstly, the shoe starts with a green toe box and side panel. Moreover, this color is found on the tongue, cuff, and even the outsole. Secondly, there are yellow overlays here that bring the entire Oregon aesthetic together. This creates an amazing offering that we’re sure Ducks fans will adore.

As for the release date, these will be coming out on March 8th for a price of $110 USD. These are going to be very popular on the Oregon campus, so do not miss out. Hopefully, we see more school-based colorways, very soon. Let us know your thoughts on these, in the comments below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates from around the sneaker world.
