Clipse Reveal That Their Upcoming Album Will Be Produced By Pharrell

by

In an exclusive interview with Vulture, Pusha T and No Malice (Clipse) announced that their new album will be entirely produced by Pharrell. This one heck of bombshell, as the Virginia-based duo are making their return after 15 long years. In 2009 we got Til The Casket Drops, which had eight songs featuring Pharrell production. So, it is great to hear that even after all of this time, the band is still getting back together. We do not much else about the record, as Pusha T and No Malice kept the details to a minimum. The important thing is we know we are getting a Clipse record soon, which will be one of high quality they promise.

“I think this is where you get the difference between taste and filler. This music is curated. This is a high taste-level piece of work. You can only have that level of taste when you have the fundamentals down to a science. I think it’s been definitely missing”, Push told Vulture. Malice doubled down on that take, affirming, “This is smart basketball. It’s fundamentals”.

Clipse Are Curating A “High Taste-Level” Album Along With Pharrell

“And not only that, it’s authenticity. It’s what rap should look like if you’re real about your craft, real about your experience, real about your storytelling. It’s bringing the fans along to see the growth, not trying to fit in or fabricate”, Malice added. If this is out of the blue news to you, there was some hope that a Clipse album could be a possibility. King Push did tell Complex that fans could “100% bet” on either getting a solo album from him or a reuniting effort. Additionally, the duo premiered an unreleased collab with John Legend at a Louis Vuitton show in Paris.

What are your thoughts on the next Clipse record being produced by Pharell? Will this be one of the best rap albums of the year, why or why not? Do you think this could be their strongest LP in their discography? When do you see them dropping this? 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 Clipse and Pharrell. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

Punchmade Dev Mugshot Revealed By Chicago PD

by

The Chicago Police Department just released Punchmade Dev’s mugshot following his arrest on weapons charges and an obstructed front windshield. It’s unclear what the particular heft behind each of these booking reasons is as of writing this article, but we can’t imagine he’s looking forward to finding out. For those unaware, the Chicago rapper previously faced a police investigation for a worrisome song and music video. His track “Wire Fraud Tutorial” is pretty self-explanatory, and YouTube ended up taking the visual down at the behest of law enforcement. The YouTube star tried to speak to the platform about getting his video restored, but it was to no avail.

Furthermore, it’s unclear whether or not this has anything to do with this recent arrest, as the charges seem unrelated at first glance. However, surely the coming weeks will provide at least some updates on whether police investigations actually resulted in something. Punchmade Dev allegedly claimed to have access to Adin Ross’ bank account, which can’t be good considering the streamer’s tighter pockets as of late. Maybe this booking will simply exacerbate the investigation into him rather than take priority over it.

Of course, it’s still too early in this case to call anything, especially since it’s not the most visible or viral case right now. We wouldn’t expect it to reach YSL RICO levels of visibility, but “Wire Fraud Tutorial” went pretty wild in social media circles and among underground rap fans. Regardless of all that, Punchmade Dev looks quite tranquil in his mugshot, so maybe he brushed off these charges and anticipates he will see a prompt release. Only time will tell, but the situation would be wildly different if he did time for wire fraud.

Meanwhile, this is unfortunately a page in the book of Chicago hip-hop’s run-ins with the law, many of which are due to systemic issues. We’re not equating this case to that, but it’s a sadly difficult legacy for the scene to reckon with. Hopefully in this situation, we can get some more clarity and get answers to the controversy that the “Wire Fraud Tutorial” inspired a couple of months ago. For more news and updates on Punchmade Dev, come back to HNHH.

Alabama Barker Seems To Reveal New Man Online

by

Alabama Barker is looking to keep capitalizing on her social media dominance, whether it’s with new music, dances, antics, or relationships. Moreover, apparently she just debuted a new relationship with 18-year-old rapper Lil Darius via a series of new videos. The 17-year-old uploaded a couple of TikToks of the two of them together, plus she appears in Darius’ new music video “About Us.” In the social media posts themselves, the two chill out under the covers, and she showed off a big bouquet of roses in another post that probably came from the young MC. As such, it seems like the blink-182 legend’s daughter is moving on from her previous fling with DD Osama.

Furthermore, this is just the latest Internet discussion around Alabama Barker, whose high family profile and career moves have drawn as much positive attention as negative. For example, fans blasted her for clubbing during a family emergency, when her father and Kourtney Kardashian had to go to the hospital. In addition, there’s all the discussion around the young celebrity’s burgeoning rap career, which many criticize. However, she does have some ardent fans which many would argue are the most important ones to have: her family.

“I think her rap career is amazing,” Alabama Barker’s mother told Page Six. “My kids were raised on a tour bus from the time they were born. Every creed, every race is going to love hip-hop and rap that’s not gonna change. So for me it is a very natural progression for [Alabama], because she’s been in the studio with her father with the greatest musicians in the world.” Also, she believes that Alabama holds a deep respect for hip-hop that Travis wouldn’t let her profit from if it wasn’t genuine.

“They literally travelled the world numerous times over with some of the biggest musicians, rap artists and hip-hop artists in the world,” Barker’s mother continued. “[For Alabama’s] generation right now the highest genre of music is hip-hop and rap.” We’ll see if her and Lil Darius become the next big hip-hop couple. For more news and the latest updates on Alabama Barker, stay up to date on HNHH.

North West Has Dyslexia, 10-Year-Old Shares Her Diagnosis On TikTok

by

During a recent TikTok live stream, 10-year-old North West revealed that she’s been diagnosed with dyslexia. “Guys, I have dyslexia,” she told viewers. “Do you even know what that is?” Her mom, Kim Kardashian, made note of how open she was being during the livestream. “Northie, you are sure spilling the tea on here,” she explained.

While North seemed to have no problem sharing that she has dyslexia, her mother ended the stream shortly after the reveal. According to her, she makes a conscious effort to keep her children’s personal issues out of the spotlight. “I am going to get off this Live right now because you are just saying way too much,” she said. “I purposely don’t talk about stuff that you are going through.” North is certainly no stranger to TikTok, and this isn’t the first time Kim intervened after feeling like she went too far.

Over the summer, the SKIMS founder admitted that after North shared a video dancing along to Ice Spice’s track with PinkPantheress, “Boy’s a Liar, Pt. 2,” she decided to take the video down. “The Ice Spice videos, she said, ‘Mommy, can I post this?’” Kim recalled. “I was out of town, so I had my… nanny was there [and] allowed it. And as soon as I saw the words and everything, I was like, ‘Oh, no no. We’re taking this down.’ She totally understood. So, I think that’s the trial and error sometimes.”

Kim went on to reference North’s father, Kanye West, claiming that he didn’t want his daughter on the app. “And, you know, then I saw on the Internet, it’s like, ‘Kanye was right.’ You know? And maybe he was, you know?” she explained. “In that instance. But in the creative side where she loves making slime videos and doing her little hair tutorials, I will fight for her to be creative in those ways. So, it’s always a compromise. No one’s always gonna agree and you just have to do the best that you can as a parent and try to protect your kids, but also let them be creative.” What do you think of North West revealing that she has dyslexia?

Rubi Rose’s New Man Unveiled

by

Recently, Rubi Rose took to social media to show off a sweet photo of her and her man. In the image, the two of them are seen sharing a kiss, though neither of their faces can be seen. Despite her attempts to keep the relationship under wraps, it looks like social media users were quick to get to the bottom of things. Fans zeroed in on some identifiable tattoos on the man’s hand, and matched them up with Dyeland London’s.

London had also posted a photo of the two of them a couple months back, which appears to have come from the same set of photos posted by Rubi. The performer’s apparent new man is a designer, known for styling the likes of Lil Baby, Young Thug, and more. As expected, fans have a lot to say about the couple.

Rubi appears to be more than happy with the designer, recently taking to her story to show off the romantic birthday gesture he surprised her with.

In the clip, Rubi’s seen walking through various rooms decorated with countless rose petals and balloons. The path guided her to a pile of extravagant designer gifts. “My baby don’t play about me,” she wrote, flexing a pair of diamond earrings he gifted her. Despite criticism, she appears to be doing great, telling followers that she’s had the “best birthday ever.” What do you think of social media users finding out who Rubi Rose’s new man is?

Sexyy Red Reveals The True Meaning Of “SkeeYee”

by

During a recent interview with Montreality, Sexyy Red gave the definition of one of her most popular songs and catchphrases, “SkeeYee.” The St. Louis-born performer revealed that the term is actually something that “Geeks,” or people addicted to drugs, will shout at someone they find attractive.

“‘SkeeYee.’ That’s when like, you see a cute girl or somebody with a big booty, or you’re tryin’ to holler at somebody,” she begins. “They call that the ‘geek call.’” Sexyy Red continues, “a geek is a crackhead, a dope fiend.” Luckily, curious fans now have a little more insight on the catchy song, and St. Louis slang. Elsewhere in the interview, she also revealed the most romantic gesture she’s ever received from a man. She described being swept off of her feet when a boyfriend robbed someone and gave her $13 he stole. She recalled knowing that he went out of his way to impress her. “It was just so sweet ’cause he was out of breath and stuff,” she shared.

There had been some rumors that the shooting took place on her set, but Sexyy Red quickly cleared those up.

“I send my condolences to the family of the man who lost his life and prayers up for the person who was wounded,” she wrote. She went on to clarify that the shooting happened at a gas station across the street from her set. “We finished the shoot at a different location and everyone from our set went home safely. Period.” Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates on Sexyy Red.

Rihanna & ASAP Rocky’s Baby Name Unveiled, Fans Are Split

by

Last month, Rihanna and ASAP Rocky welcomed their second child. Fans have been eagerly-awaiting the reveal of the baby’s name, and they were finally given their answer this morning. According to The Blast, the power couple decided to name the child Riot Rose Mayers. The rapper just dropped a song called “RIOT” earlier in the summer, and fans seem to appreciate the apparent reference.

Their first child, who they welcomed in May of 2022, is named after Wu-Tang Clan’s RZA. It looks like the couple has continued their theme of keeping their children’s names hip hop-related in some way. They’ve also stayed true to their family’s running theme of all their names starting with the letter R. The couple has yet to comment on their child’s name, but as expected, social media users have. By the looks of things, users are split. Some are digging the edgy and unique name, while others don’t like the connotations the word carries.

Despite getting some criticism for the reported baby name, the pair appear to be doing better than ever since the child’s arrival. According to reports, the songstress had always wanted a second child. “Rihanna feels her family is now complete,” a source told PEOPLE at the end of last month. “It’s something she’s always wanted.”

Immediately after the baby was born, people online started to speculate about what the name could be. TMZ was able to catch up with ASAP Rocky in August, who told fans fans that the baby name reveal was “coming soon.” This only managed to spark more rumors, and early on fans suspected the name would start with an R. Keep an eye on HNHH for more updates on Rihanna and ASAP Rocky, and share your thoughts on their baby’s name down below.

Nicki Minaj Shares “Pink Friday 2” Cover, Says It’s One Of Two

by

Nicki Minaj is not letting up on keeping the hype for Pink Friday 2 at astronomical levels, with new updates coming out seemingly every week. Recently, the Queen released her first single specifically part of this new album’s rollout, “Last Time I Saw You.” Moreover, the pop fusion cut’s been heavy in fan rotation since its release, and this plus the project’s title hints at a revitalization of what makes her such a unique voice in music. Die-hards probably thought that this would be enough to carry them home to the LP’s November 2023 release date. However, given that Nicki is always looking to one-up herself, they have never been happier to be so wrong.

Furthermore, Nicki Minaj just unveiled the album cover for Pink Friday 2. Not only that, but the Trinidadian MC also revealed that it’s one of two album covers, and we assume that this is the main one for use on streaming services. Maybe it isn’t, but either way, it’s exciting to see that she’s going to take advantage of a lot of different artwork and mediums to express this new phase. After all, if Travis Scott can release five different covers for UTOPIA‘s physical releases, why shouldn’t the Barb have her fun, too?

What’s more is that even rumors and unconfirmed assumptions are hyping fans up wildly on social media. For example, while celebrating her latest single going number one on iTunes in 37 different countries, the 40-year-old hinted at something special for next year. “Giving a big virtual hug to all these countries,” Nicki Minaj tweeted. “Omg can’t wait to see you guys on TOUR next year. #LastTimeISawYou seems like it was decades ago~ and seeing some of you for the first time ever.”

Meanwhile, now the question is what else she’ll energize fans with when it comes to Pink Friday 2. There might be feature announcements, promo opportunities, more snippets, and a whole slew of other possibilities. Even if she decides to stay low-key until the album drops, there’s enough anticipation to fuel a rocketship. On that note, stay logged into HNHH for the latest news and updates on Nicki Minaj.

Drake Says He Might Reveal “For All The Dogs” Release Date At Vegas Show Tonight

by

Drake’s For All The Dogs quickly became one of the most anticipated albums of 2023 upon its release date, and the mystery and anticipation behind its rollout has only added to that. Moreover, the Toronto superstar spent a lot of time during his ongoing “It’s All A Blur” tour with 21 S*vage addressing this project. Sometimes, he gave hints about features and how he feels about it, and other times, he spoke on its as-of-yet unknown release date. Even though it’s dropping soon, its previouscover art reveal left many fans thinking it would drop that week, and that wasn’t the case. However, now we’re going through that doubt all over again thanks to some recent remarks the 6 God made during his first Las Vegas stop of the tour.

Furthermore, Drake expressed that For All The Dogs is “real close,” and that he might drop the release date at his next Vegas show. This video comes from presumably his first stop on Friday (September 1), so maybe tonight’s show (September 2) will yield some results. Still, this isn’t anything other than speculation, as it’s hard to tell for casual fans and viewers whether this is even from that Vegas show. Perhaps the opportunity came and went, but fans are still holding out hope for tonight.

Drake Hints At Revealing For All The Dogs‘ Release Date Soon

Despite all this anticipation, it’s also very understandable that The Boy hasn’t dropped For All The Dogs yet. After all, he’s on a wildly successful tour that ran into technical difficulties, rescheduled and canceled dates, and brought on so much star power in the form of special guests. As such, it’s difficult to stay fully in album mode when you’re on the road, but if anyone can do it, it’s Drake. When you made that much money and that many headlines over pretty much anything, it’s a great press run to capitalize on.

Now, what remains to be seen is if For All The Dogs will come out during this tour or after. It would be nice to see the OVO mogul revitalize his joint trek with some new material to debut. On the other hand, we bet a full tour dedicated to this next project would make a load of cash as well. With that in mind, stick around on HNHH for the latest news and updates on Drake.

Benny The Butcher Reveals He’s Married To Longtime Girlfriend India

by

Benny the Butcher recently took to Twitter/X, revealing that he and his longtime girlfriend India have finally tied the knot. He kept the announcement of the big news short and sweet. “Real east side dope boy…I married a project princess,” the New York native wrote yesterday (August 5). “Me and India officially MARRIED.” Obviously, fans are happy for the lovebirds, who’ve apparently been a thing for years. Benny’s comments quickly became flooded with congratulations, as well as quotes from his 2018 A Friend of Ours track, “India.”

“Most importantly Indy / For the risks she took with me / Put a job on the line / Now helped turn 5 to 50 / And when dough was the object / I went broke in the process / I even got evicted / She kept me low in the projects,” Benny the Butcher raps in the track, which also features El Camino.

“Congrats. You have done well. Happy blissful life!” one fan comments under the announcement. “Congratulations my man! That’s awesome to hear,” another writes. “Happy for you boss,” someone else tells Benny. It’s unclear when exactly it was that the two of them wed, but nonetheless, supporters are thrilled for them.

Benny the Butcher’s marriage isn’t the only thing he has to be excited about lately. Earlier this year, he announced that his new album, Everybody Can’t Go, would be released this month. Unfortunately, it looks like fans will have to wait a bit longer to hear it. Hit-Boy, who’s been working on the project shared the news on the Elliott Wilson Experience. “It was supposed to come in August but I think it’s getting pushed back,” he explained. With that being said, fans are as pumped as ever to hear his latest offering, which is believed to feature Lil Wayne. Benny shared a snippet last month featuring the rapper. There’s no release date set in stone yet, but stay tuned to HNHH for more updates.
