New Hip Hop News

Gunna, Future, and Young Thug are all hitmakers in their own right, but when they come together on a track, it feels like magic to our ears. On Wednesday afternoon, the WUNNA recording artist gave his Instagram followers a sneak peek of a new song and visual, which looks like it might be called “IJU,” or “It’s Just Us.”

“Come On #DS4,” the 28-year-old captioned the nearly minute-long video, which sees the frequent collaborators linking up at a party to have a few drinks, socialize with friends and baddies, and get their verses off while they stand on the patio, a gorgeous city skyline taking up the background behind them.

Gunna chose to wear a red and white ensemble, paired with plenty of glimmering rings and chains and a backwards visor. At one point, he and a small group gather in what looks like an elevator, and the Georgia-born star says a few words while holding a double-stacked cup.

The comment section is full of fans begging Gunna to drop off DS4, which would follow his Slime Language 2 collaboration with Young Thug, as well as 2020’s WUNNA, which saw him link up with Thugger, Nechie, Lil Baby, Roddy Ricch, and Travis Scott – not to mention the features he nabbed on the project’s deluxe version just a few weeks after.

Elsewhere on his Instagram page, the “Oh Okay” rapper wished his followers a Merry Christmas while posted up with a blunt, a luxurious long brown fur coat, a Fendi bag, an impressive amount of jewelry, and last, but certainly not least, a flashy Audemars watch. See for yourself below.

Spider-Man: No Way Home has undoubtedly been Marvel Studios’ biggest hit since Avengers: End Game, and since its release, everyone has been talking about it. Now, just one day after Kim Kardashian spoiled the movie’s big multi-dimensional plot twist on her Instagram story, it appears that Vince Staples recently did the same on Twitter, but the “LAW OF AVERAGES” artist took his Spider-Man commentary a step further by suggesting that he should be brought into the MCU.

With reports and rumors circulating on Twitter that everyone from The Walking Dead‘s Norman Reedus to “I Just Wanna Live” singer Keedron Byrant is joining the MCU, Vince Staples might as well throw his name out there for consideration, and according to the Long Beach rapper, he’d be a good fit for Marvel’s highly anticipated X-Men reboot.

Warning — there are plenty of spoilers ahead, so proceed with caution if you haven’t yet seen Spider-Man: No Way Home.

“Off this Spider-Man they treating my nigga Peter like he like Ruby Bridges,” Vince Staples said before saying that his inclusion in the MCU would help bring Aunt May’s death justice. “They need me in the MCU if they tryna have some real get bacc. Where is the vengeance?”

Despite the fact that Omicron is on the rise, the CDC announced on Monday that they would be shortening the recommended isolation time for those who test positive for COVID-19 but are asymptomatic. The news has upset a lot of Americans, although Dr. Anthony Fauci and other health experts have co-signed it.

Director of the CDC, Dr. Rochelle Walensky, explained in a statement that these new regulations “balance what we know about the spread of the virus and the protection provided by vaccination and booster doses,” adding that our “best option” at the moment is vaccination and booster shots combined with mask-wearing and testing.

The new regulations suggest that those who don’t have symptoms of COVID-19 need to isolate for only five days instead of the standard 10, although when out in public, they should continue to wear a mask. Those who have been exposed to someone with a positive test are now only told to isolate for five days as well.

When things become chaotic, you can leave it to Twitter to give us a laugh. Following the CDC’s new recommendations, thousands of users have posted their own versions of the rules, from “the CDC recommends splitting up your quarantine over your two 15min breaks” to “the CDC recommends you let go and let God.” Check them out below.

We’re nearly two weeks away from the release of Cordae’s sophomore studio album From a Bird’s Eye View, and while listeners are likely still enjoying his recent singles “Sinister” and “Super,” the former YBN rapper has treated his fans with a new piece of content to show them how far he has come.

In a recent post on Instagram, Cordae shared a throwback video of a young, 16-year-old version of himself, freestyling over Kanye West’s classic Late Registration deep cut “Gone.”

“..couldn’t find the basement/We tryna move up, but we climb adjacent,” the gold-certified artist rapped in the video. “Presently, these goals are just manifested/Cuz right now, my pockets looking anorexic/People hatin’ on the grind, and I can’t respect it/Got a vision for the future, man my plans is hectic nigga.”

Commenting on his bars from back in the day, Cordae wrote in the caption, “16 yr old me was fake nice haha #Tbt #FromaBirdsEyeView 1/14/22.” He also tagged Kanye West for good measure, so hopefully, the Donda artist will catch wind of Cordae’s post and invite him to collaborate on something in the future. 

Check out the throwback video below.

Keep it locked to HNHH for Cordae-related updates in the lead-up to the release of From A Bird’s Eye View, and for nostalgia’s sake, revisit Kanye West’s “Gone” below.

Joe Rogan’s 4/20 show at Vancouver’s Rogers Arena has been postponed, TMZ reports. The Newark, New Jersey native confirmed the news on a recent episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, citing his lack of vaccination as the main reason for the unfortunate decision.

“I should probably say this because I haven’t yet. My 4/20 show that’s sold out in Vancouver, I don’t think that’s happening,” the 54-year-old told listeners. “I don’t think I can even get into the country. I’m not vaccinated. I’m not gonna get vaccinated. I have antibodies. It doesn’t make any sense.”

The American commentator has always been vocal about his thoughts on vaccine mandates, also mentioning them when making his predictions about the forthcoming 2024 Presidential election. When speaking with comedian Tim Dillon on December 24th, Rogan sounded confident that former First Lady Michelle Obama and Vice President Kamala Harris are shoo-ins to win for the Democratic party.

If the Republicans were to take back the White House, Rogan thinks that Donald Trump would have to align himself with Florida Governor Ron Desantis, saying, “that’s the only way they’ll win.” He told Dillon, “I really believe if Michelle Obama runs, she wins. She’s great. She’s intelligent. She’s articulate. She’s the wife of the best president that we have had in our lifetime in terms of [representation] of intelligent, articulate people. She could win.”

He continued, “The only thing that would stop is if she bought into some of these policies that are destroying businesses in America that make people scared.”

It remains unclear if/when Rogan’s Vancouver show will be rescheduled, but as long as a vaccine mandate is in place, it’s likely he won’t be making a trip to Canada. Check back in with HNHH for more updates at a later date.
