King Von’s “Grandson” Album Gets Tracklist Reveal Via New York City Billboards

by

King Von’s upcoming posthumous album Grandson may be a strong point of anticipation for fans, but to be fair, many of them also felt skeptical of a release beyond his lifetime. That being said, most of his fanbase thinks that regardless, this will be a well-curated and respectful homage to Von’s vision and artistry. After all, his team and estate took some time between his death, his first posthumous release, 2022’s What It Means To Be King, and this new project. What’s more is that, now that we have Grandson‘s official tracklist, hype for it came more naturally. Moreover, the album contains 17 tracks and a welcome list of featured guests.

Furthermore, these include Polo G on “Phil Jackson,” Lil Durk on “From the Hood,” G Herbo on “Real Oppy,” and 42 Dugg on “GangLand.” Other notable new features are Moneybagg Yo and Hotboii on “Out Of The Streets” and BreezyLyn and Tink on “Jealous.” Not only that, but Spotify revealed the tracklist through various billboards (including Times Square in New York City) and through digital means. Elsewhere, solo King Von cuts like “Pressure,” “Jimmy,” “All We Do Is Drill,” “When I Die,” and “Family Dedication 2” hold a lot of promise just based off their titles.

King Von’s Grandson: Tracklist Reveal

Of course, this is far from the first we’ve heard from the Chicago rapper’s next full-length release. Previously, we caught his solo track “Robberies” as a single, which continued to show his depth as a hardened and gritty storyteller. In addition, there’s also the very recent release of the song “Heartless” with Tee Grizzley, who matches King Von’s energy quite well. With these teasers in mind, this is shaping up to be a very solid offering from the late and legendary MC.

Meanwhile, even though that skepticism is there concerning the posthumous Grandson, it all comes down to the execution. As such, there’s a unique, somber and tragic form of pressure on this album to deliver and do right by his memory. But the artist’s skill and talent speaks for itself, and will likely be quite amplified and projected on Grandson. Regardless, check out the for more news and the latest updates on King Von, come back to HNHH.

by

It’s getting closer and closer to the release date of Lil Durk’s highly anticipated next album, Almost Healed. Moreover, following a very successful and acclaimed single with J. Cole, The Voice let us know early on what to expect on the project. Furthermore, he posted the entire tracklist on his Instagram page, consisting of 21 tracks and eight features, including Cole’s aforementioned contributions. Its other guests are Future, 21 Savage, Kodak Black, Juice WRLD, Rob49, Chief Wuk, and Morgan Wallen. With “All My Life” with the Dreamville boss as precedent, plus the big names and close collaborators on this list, this seems like it could be fireworks.

“May 26th Almost Healed,” the Chicago MC wrote in his Instagram post’s caption. “Call my bluff! Let me know which song I should drop tonight.” If any of these collaborations or solo tracks particularly excite you, we recommend you flock to that comments section after wrapping this article up. Some standout track titles are the opener “Therapy Session,” “At This Point We Stuck,” “War Bout It,” and “Moment Of Truth.” Also, this comes after Smurk revealed the production credits on Almost Healed, which include some of the biggest producers today, surprising additions like Alicia Keys, and the controversial multi-instance inclusion of Dr. Luke, who stood accused of various crimes including sexual harassment and other forms of mistreatment.

Lil Durk Shows Fans The Tracklist For Almost Healed

Regardless, now that the project is taking shape, Lil Durk fans must be ravenous for it to drop already. In addition to these reveals, the 30-year-old also kept up the pace with some recent high-profile and inflammatory media appearances. “Now I don’t sit up here and play games, man,” he told DJ Akademiks concerning Gunna’s plea deal in the YSL case. “That man told. You should have went in there and kept your mouth closed.”

Meanwhile, his savage feud with NBA YoungBoy also got quite a lot of hype around his next musical moves. In fact, his single with J. Cole outsold YB’s new mixtape, which caused a lot of fan debate and takes on who’s winning this beef. No matter what he gets himself into next, Durkio is poised to let his art speak more loudly than his other endeavors with this tracklist.

In another Instagram post, he had talked about the inspiration behind this tape, part of his Heartless series.

“I gained and lost more than I ever thought I would and had no other safe outlet for all the emotions and dark thoughts that came wit that other than making music,” Moneybagg Yo wrote. “I’m blessed to have an art form to express myself inside & out with you all. Demario is the one that all the s**t happened to but nobody understood that I still gotta wake up and be Bagg every day to provide for my family and continue to carve my legacy but it’s not easy balancing the two.”

Elsewhere, he also detailed the struggles he faced in the time after his last project, 2021’s A Gangsta’s Pain. In addition, Moneybagg Yo clarified that he recorded too much material for just one project, hence why he’s blessing us with two this year. While we still don’t know the official release date or title for his next album after Hard To Love, it will likely also release via CMG Records/Interscope. With his other extracurricular avenues in mind, the 31-year-old MC is looking to keep his upward trajectory intact.

However, it’s not like all of his endeavors resulted in popular acclaim, as impressive as they may be. For example, his recently opened restaurant, Cache 42, boasts a $135 40 oz. Tomahawk steak, which many took issue with. Still, you’ve got to know what you’re worth, and it’s really up to whoever’s enjoying the dish to decide. Regardless, let us know if you’re excited for Hard To Love in the comments down below. Also, log back into HNHH for the latest news and updates on Moneybagg Yo.

Coolio Died From Fentanyl, Coroner Reveals

by

A coroner recently revealed that the late great Coolio passed away from a substance that has taken far too many lives, both in entertainment and communities at large. Moreover, a spokesperson for the rapper’s family, Jarel “Jarez” Posey, told TMZ that they just learned of Coolio’s official cause of death. Furthermore, the coroner told his loved ones that he died of fentanyl, and also had methamphetamines and heroin in his system at the time of death. Investigators also concluded that the 59-year-old’s severe asthma and decades of cigarette smoking also caused his inability to fight back the effects of fatal drug use.

In addition, Jarez remarked that his seven children will continue to celebrate his legacy and do right by his name. What’s more is that they seemed to express to the public how important it is for audiences to know how much they loved him, and how much that was reciprocated. Not only was he a dominant presence on stage, but a positive force on his family. Though he died without a will, these individuals are his “probable beneficiaries” according to reports.

Coolio’s Cause Of Death Revealed, His Legacy Lives On

The hip-hop world shed a collective tear when news broke of his loss, whether from fellow veterans or a newer generation. In fact, the “Gangsta’s Paradise” MC’s influence ranged so widely that his colleagues in the acting space also fondly remembered his legacy. For example, Michelle Pfeiffer, Martin Lawrence, and Melissa Joan Hart were among other entertainment titans to pay their respects. When it came to the rappers he influenced, collaborated with, or was inspired by, many of them took to social media and beyond and gave their tributes. These include Snoop Dogg, Flavor Flav, Killer Mike, LL Cool J, Ice-T, Ice Cube, Denzel Curry, Questlove, and many more.

What was perhaps most heartbreaking about messages from fellow MCs was how they remarked that they had a conversation with him just days before, or that they were looking forward to performing alongside him soon. Since his passing, the release of posthumous music points toward his legacy preserving in the public eye. Even if we never hear another new Coolio song, he set his impact in stone for generations to come. Let us know your favorite Coolio memories in the comments and return to HNHH for the latest on the late MC.

Kid Cudi Unveils MOTR Fashion Line At Paris Fashion Week

by

Kid Cudi just debuted his MOTR fashion line at Paris Fashion Week on Friday (January 20). Moreover, the name stands for “Members of the Rage,” pronounced “motor” for short. Previously, the 38-year-old teased the event back in December, pointing to a unisex and boundary-pushing collection on the horizon.

However, Cudi wanted to start a fashion line about eight years ago, but felt “discouraged” by the process. While working on a sci-fi animated film in 2021, he revisited the idea. After losing Off-White founder, Louis Vuitton men’s artistic director, and good friend Virgil Abloh in the same year, he felt even more compelled.

“There is no way I could have designed this collection without thinking about him every single f***ing day,” he expressed to Vogue. “Every day, it was like, ‘What would Virgil do? What decision would he make and how would he handle his team? What type of vibe would he have in the office?’ Because he was the ideal designer, he was the template. He was nice, personable, open and friendly with people on his team, helped other people and lifted other people up, gave them opportunities, left the door open behind him.”

Furthermore, according to Vogue, the “GHOST!” artist held the presentation at a Paris showroom and showcased fall and winter pieces for the year. Moreover, it included polos, puffer vests, long skirts, leather jackets, grungy knitwear and furry coats. Also, there’s accessories and footwear such as fake fur caps, oversized sneakers, and a boom-box-like shoulder bag.

“I want people to feel like they’re walking on stage when they’re wearing this brand,” the Ohio native stated, “I want them to feel the feeling I get when I perform at Coachella, I want them to feel like superstars.

“I am kind of just putting my hands in the paint and just making stuff, just making what I think is cool and trying to just follow that vision,” he continued. “‘Is this something I would wear, that my friends would wear?’”

Regardless, what did you think of Kid Cudi’s new fashion line, MOTR? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments down below. Also, as always, check back in with HNHH for the latest crossovers in music and fashion.

Kylie Jenner Shares Pic Of Her & Travis Scott’s Son, Reveals Name

by

Kylie Jenner just shared a pic of her son with Travis Scott and revealed his name to her Instagram followers. Moreover, the baby’s reveal comes just weeks after the star couple reportedly broke up. Still, they’re one of the most beloved and discussed celebrity couples, and Kylie shared their son in a cute post.

Moreover, the makeup mogul shared a mirror selfie holding her son in her right arm. She captioned the post with the baby’s supposed name: “AIRE.”

As such, many in the comments reacted excitedly with well-wishes and admirations. For example, Jenner’s stepsister Khloé commented “The king!!! Young king!!!!!” Other celebrities chimed in with their own exclamations. Olivia Pierson wrote “There he is!!!!! Those eyes I can’t deal,” while Johnny Cyrus commented “HE IS SO CUTE… AIRE AND STORMI!!! icons.”

However, Aire’s reveal to the world involves some conflicting reports. Initially, Kylie and Travis named their second child “Wolf,” though they later said they changed their minds. Since then, fans have been increasingly curious about what they would name their kid.

Unfortunately, the name reveal coincided with the couple’s public breakup. Us Weekly reported on the story with some unnamed sources, and many in the media world followed suit.

“Kylie and Travis are off again, they were supposed to spend the holidays together, but she went to Aspen to be with her family and friends up there,” a source stated. “This has happened so many times before, they’re known to be on again off again, but always remain friends and great co-parents.”

Meanwhile, the “SICKO MODE” rapper recently went out on the town for the first time since his split from the reality TV star. Moreover, the Houston artist landed down in Los Angeles on Sunday, January 8th. What’s more is that much of the reported reasoning around the split could be related to them not spending Christmas together.

Still, what do you think of Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott’s son’s new name, Aire? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments down below. Also, as always, come back to HNHH for the latest celebrity news and snaps.
