21 Savage & Killer Mike Speak On Freaknik In Documentary Trailer: Watch

February 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Freaknik’s sociocultural legacy in the Black community in the U.S. during the 1980s and 1990s was something you just had to be there for. Still, the legendary Atlanta street party’s legacy, cemented by spring breaks at historically Black colleges and universities, will live on forever. Moreover, a new Hulu documentary on the event titled Freaknik: The Wildest Party Never Told will hit your screens on March 21. Directed by P. Frank Williams, it will debut at SXSW soon, and features a star-studded cast of firsthand voices. These include rappers Killer Mike and 21 Savage, as well as entertainment industry moguls, Freaknik founders, historians, and much more.

In fact, other celebrities featured as talking heads include Rasheeda, Erick Sermon of EPMD, Jermaine Dupri, Cee Lo Green, Lil Jon… the list goes on. Uncle Luke, real name Luther Campbell, also appears, and he executive produced this Freaknik documentary alongside 21 Savage and Dupri. Actually, folks may remember that, not too long ago, Savage actually celebrated his birthday by replicating the historic gathering. As such, we’ve had plenty of subtle and overt examples of how this influence reached the next generation of Black youth.

“At its heart, Freaknik is a music documentary,” P. Frank Williams shared with Variety. “Luke is the soundtrack of Freaknik, [Dupri’s] So So Def label is directly correlated to Freaknik and 21 Savage is the new school. They’re fascinated with the wild stuff we did, the clothes and the music of that era. The legacy of Freaknik really started in ‘83, I don’t know if people realized that. It was about kids trying to find a place for Black joy. Freaknik wasn’t just about the party. Our goal was to show how it affected politics, culture, race, there was a lot with sexuality, gender.

“The turn up, the cars, sexuality, joy, the daisy dukes… that’s the candy of it,” he continued. “But there’s also some vegetables in it, which is the Black empowerment. Police brutality was part of it, Black cultural realization, young women realizing their sexuality, young men too. Freaknik is really a coming of age story about a generation who was trying to find a voice in a world that didn’t accept them. But this is a place they created for themselves. Freaknik is the ultimate personification of that.” For more news and the latest updates on this doc and its featured MCs, come back to HNHH.

“Baddies East” Reunion Trailer Shows Natalie Nunn, Sapphire & More Blasting Scarface

February 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The Baddies East reunion is airing its third part this Sunday (February 25) on the Zeus Network at 8PM EST, and it looks like things couldn’t be more targeted. Moreover, in a new trailer previewing the spicy drama to come, it seems like everyone has a bone to pick with Scarface. For example, she fought with Sapphire, Mariahlynn, and Ahna Mac, and Natalie Nunn blasted her for being broke and angry. We can’t imagine that filming all of this was an easy or gratifying time for Scarface. But at least it gets people hooked to some degree, and they can spread that extra revenue around.

Also, it’s important to note that this Baddies East reunion is not an excuse for everyone to dog on Scarface. There were plenty of other brawls and disagreements to witness in the first two parts. For example, Rollie and Camilla ended up throwing hands and airing each other out during this meet-up, which has its own history and baggage behind it unrelated to Scarface’s. Even though a lot of people might see this reunion as a chance to explain old wounds and heal from them, it seems like the more cathartic answer is to settle them as scars once and for all.

Meanwhile, this Baddies East reunion also saw Tesehki get into a massive brawl that also roped Sukihana into things, as well as Scarface and some other familiar names. Things definitely feel a little more crowd-oriented than usual in these episodes. Before, issues between cast members usually centered themselves around just two people, sometimes going into two-against-one-offs or similarly isolated incidents. Regardless, this just feels like all-out chaos on occasion, and that’s when newcomers realize the real appeal of these big reunions.

In other related news, there’s currently a lot of drama going on with cast member Tee Kissen, Los Angeles Lakers played Christian Wood, and a friend they have in common. There was a domestic dispute over Wood’s child with Tee’s friend, with accusations of wrongdoing flying back and forth. We’ll see if this yields any harsher consequences for whoever was truly responsible. On that note, stay posted on HNHH for the latest news and updates on Baddies East.

Travis Scott Takes Center Stage In Exhilarating “Aggro Dr1ft” Trailer: Watch

January 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

A new trailer for Harmony Korine’s latest film Aggro Dr1ft has arrived, per the filmmaker’s multimedia design collective Edglrd. The film, starring Spanish actor Jordi Mollà and hip-hop mainstay Travis Scott, first premiered at the 2023 Venice Film Festival. Aggro Dr1ft is scheduled to start its screening tour at LA strip club Crazy Girl in February. From there, “Edglrd will bring the Aggro Dr1ft viewing experience to unconventional venues across the country with additional music acts to be announced in the coming weeks,” according to a press release. Korine, as well as the film’s composer AraabMuzik, will reportedly perform at the screenings.

“Breaking away from the traditional parameters of cinema, Aggro Dr1ft explores the onslaught of digital ephemera and interrogates modern life through the vernacular of video games. Shot entirely through an infrared lens, the film follows a Miami Beach hitman as he embarks on the relentless pursuit of his next target,” a synopsis reads.

Edglrd Unveils New Aggro Dr1ft Trailer

This isn’t the first time Korine has teamed up with Travis Scott, however. He also appeared in the performer’s video for “Last Time” with Gucci Mane back in 2016. He then contributed artwork to Scott’s 2019 collab compilation album JackBoys, which featured the likes of Young Thug, Don Toliver, Quavo, Offset, and more. Korine also worked with Scott on his self-directed Circus Maximus film in collaboration with Gaspar Noé, Nicolas Winding Refn, Valdimar Jóhannsson, and Kahlil Joseph.

“The distribution of Aggro Dr1ft goes beyond the limitations of the outdated moviegoing experience,” Eric Kohn, Edglrd’s Head of Development and Strategy says of the film. “You don’t just watch Aggro Dr1ft. You step into a new world, and these events will allow audiences to immerse themselves in it.” What do you think of the new trailer for Harmony Korine’s film Aggro Dr1ft?

“GTA 6” Trailer Coming Next Week

December 1, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The first trailer for GTA 6 will be released at 9am Eastern on December 5, Rockstar Games announced. The news comes after Rockstar teased the trailer’s release in early November. Now, nearly a month later, fans finally know when they need to set an alarm.

GTA 6 has been stuck in a secretive development cycle for many years now. This has frustrated loyal fans, with the massively popular GTA 5 now being a decade old. An early build of the game was leaked to social media last year. The leak led to some minor drama online. Many believed that the test build’s low-quality graphics were indicative of the final game. While the game’s release date is still unknown, fans may be given a better indication of the release cycle during the trailer next week.

GTA 6: What We Know

— Rockstar Games (@RockstarGames) December 1, 2023

As mentioned, the development of GTA 6 has been incredibly secretive and many years in the making. The most recent reports suggest that the game will a female protagonist for the first time in the series’ history. Furthermore, it’s believed that the multi-protagonist mechanic from GTA 5 will also be returning. GTA 5 was the first game in the series to feature multiple protagonists, whom the player controlled in various missions as part of a wider, interconnected story. The leaks from last year appeared to show two protagonists – Jason and Lucia.

Furthermore, the game is believed to be set in Vice City, the GTA equivalent of Las Vegas. Previously, GTA 3 was set in Vice City in the late 1980s, meaning that players will be returning to a familiar location at a later point in its history, as GTA 6 is believed to be set in the modern day. Additionally, the leaks from last year appeared to show the inclusion of new stealth mechanics, a major shift for the franchise. There was also a significant improvement to AI pathing, especially in regard to when interacting with law enforcement. However, this is a developing story and we’ll have any updates and when they emerge.
