Every three months or so, Jumpman unveils an entire slate of sneakers that will be released in the coming months. Recently, we got to see the lineup for Winter 21/22, and since that time, fans have been waiting to see what will drop during the Spring of 2022. Over the last few months, we have certainly brought forth a ton of teasers, and now, Jordan Brand is giving the sneakerheads what they want as their entire Spring 2022 collection has been unveiled.
In the photos below, you can see a collection of Air Jordan 1s, 3s, 4s, 5s, 6s, a 7, a 9, a 12, and even a 13. The vast majority of these colorways are brand new and have never been seen before. The slate is pretty impressive and whether you’re a man, woman, or non-binary, there are plenty of great options to choose from over here. One particular favorite is the “Amethyst Wave” which is coming to the Air Jordan 4. Not to mention, you can’t go wrong with the two Air Jordan 1s that we have seen.
Release details for these kicks will be coming soon, so stay tuned to HNHH for all of the latest updates. In the meantime, let us know which of these shoes below are your favorites.
Co-founder of Billionaire Boys Club and Ice Cream, and the founder of Human Made, NIGO, is preparing to drop a brand new project in the near future. The designer and musician recently announced I Know NIGO — his first album in roughly twenty years which will be released through Victor Victor.

Earlier today, NIGO offered a glimpse of what to expect with a brief rundown of the featured artists, along with the official album art. The album will feature several close collaborators including Pharrell Williams, A$AP Rocky, Tyler, The Creator, Kid Cudi, Lil Uzi Vert, Famlay, and Pusha T. Additionally, NIGO will also debut new music from Terriyaki Boyz, which he also founded. However, he also teased that there will be even more features than the one listed on the album.
NIGO revealed at the top of the year that he had already signed a deal with Steven Victor’s imprint via Universal earlier this year, teasing that a new album was on the way. The timing of his announcement is a strong indication that he could be kicking off 2022 with a bang.
NIGO release his last solo album, Ape Sounds in 2000 which helped him quietly uplift his name beyond the realms of streetwear and fashion.
Check out NIGO’s post below. Which feature are you most excited to hear onI Know NIGO?
Young Dolph’s death hasn’t stopped at least one of his rivals from keeping their beef alive. Blac Youngsta, a fellow Memphian with whom Dolph had a longstanding feud, has drawn the ire of fans on Twitter after a video of him performing the Dolph-dissing track “Shake Sum” surfaced online. In the song, Blac Youngsta denounces Dolph’s claims to Memphis’ rap throne, saying, “You ain’t from the city, you from Chicago.” There are also the typical threats of gun-related violence, which to some fans reads a little tacky in light of how Dolph died.
Why would Blac Youngsta think it’s ok to perform that? What’s wrong wit u niggas?
Blac Youngsta himself, meanwhile, took the criticism in stride. He semi-addressed the critics in an Instagram post of his new video “I’m Assuming,” adding a lengthy caption. “I’m the type of n***a who ain’t neva sat back and looked for nobody to feel sorry fa me!” he wrote. “I come from the heart of South Memphis where you get no sympathy, don’t even know what that is. With that being said, I could give 2 f*cks what the world think about me.”
I love Dolph but idk why y’all thought or think Blac Youngsta supposed to give a damn that he died. If you my enemy today and you die tomorrow, you still my enemy. Ain’t shit changed
Yall trying to shit on Blac Youngsta for performing a song made years ago but praise and sing Durk’s lyrics like he’s not throwing shots at dead folks? King Von was steadily smokin on “_____” and yall thought it was funny even as his mama cried on the net.. Stop playin favorites
In addition, the new video is shot in a graveyard, with some astute fans noticing that the name on a mausoleum behind me reads “Thornton” — Young Dolph’s real last name. I suppose some beef lasts forever — even when one party already had the last word.
Every year we hear a lot of the same classic holiday songs. There’s no denying the holiday power of Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas,” or DMX’s “Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer.” But bless the artists who keep pushing the holiday music envelope and are giving us new tunes to break up the monotony of the season. So with that, these were the songs, albums, and more that stole the show this holiday season.
There I Ruined It’s Mariah Carey x Twisted Sister Christmas Mash-Up
You didn’t think you were gonna get through this list without a Mariah Carey song, did you? So we’ll get it out of the way right now, but it’s not what you think. The folks at the There I Ruined It YouTube channel present some of the most unpredictable mash-ups of songs. Think Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit” expertly collided with a K-Pop band. For the holiday season, however, they have taken the liberty of mashing up Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas” with Twisted Sister’s “We’re Not Gonna Take it” in dedication to “the warriors of Christmas retail during another Mariah Carey Season.” It’s the stuff that holiday heavy metal dreams are made of. I wonder if Mariah’s gotten wind of this one yet? While she’d probably be repulsed, she’d certainly applaud the fact that the song is part of the “Un-Ruin Christmas” fundraiser for Toys For Tots.

HAIM’s Reboot of Adam Sandler’s “The Hanukkah Song”
The Sandman created a timeless joint back in his SNL days with “The Hanukkah Song,” but who better to give it a re-fresh than Los Angeles’ most famous trio of Jewish sisters, Haim? But you know what the funniest thing is about this song? It’s the little differences. Maya Rudolph, Japanese Breakfast, and Bryce and Aaron Dessner of The National kick off the tune’s laundry list of famous Jews, then instead of naming who “eats together at the Carnegie Deli” (a la Sandler’s original), Este, Alana, and Danielle swap in LA institution “Canter’s Deli.” The Haim version has a distinct knack for including prevalent pop culture personalities and lines like “Doja Cat’s half-Jewish, Chalamet’s half too. Put ‘em both together, what a fine-looking Jew!” would make the Sandman proud. The big payoff comes at the end of the clip, when we find out that the video released during Hanukkah, is actually a clever ruse to tease their 2022 tour.
The LCD Soundsystem Holiday Special Featuring the All My Friends Sitcom
If you hadn’t heard yet, the Omicron coronavirus variant forced LCD Soundsystem to cancel the final three shows of their 20-night residency at New York City venue Brooklyn Steel. It’s definitely the prudent move given the circumstances in NYC right now, but rest assured, you can celebrate with LCD Soundsystem on Christmas week by watching their brand new holiday special. The LCD Soundsystem Holiday Special is part concert and part LCD sitcom, and the sitcom is directed by comedic genius Eric Wareheim. It stars Wareheim as James Murphy, alongside Macaulay Culkin, Aparna Nancherla, Luenelle, and more. It airs on December 22nd via Amazon Music here and the trailer below is can’t miss stuff.
Jhené Aiko – “Wrap Me Up”
A holiday love song from Aiko, “Wrap Me Up” opens with jingle bells and a harp as she hopes to spend the holiday season with a lover by the fire. Where a lot of holiday pop comes across as an over-produced year-end formality, Aiko’s gorgeous voice is undeniable here. She evokes the imagery of the sights, sounds, and feel of the holiday season as she sings:
“Every December you’d make sure you’re here
So I pray as soon as I wake
That we spend today up under each other
‘Cause there’s nothing more I need
Than you here with me, no gift would be better”
A Very She & Him Christmas Deluxe Edition
There is no album I’ve played more this holiday season than the now classic and officially ten years old holiday album from the She & Him duo of Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward. Deschanel’s voice has this built-in nostalgia that makes us think about her singing Christmas carols in the movie Elf, an iconic modern Christmas tale if there ever was one. But I digress, because the deluxe version of A Very She & Him Christmas comes with new bonus material like a cover of Madonna’s “Holiday,” and a splendid take on “It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas” that’s a little bit country and a little bit rock and roll. Also, all proceeds from album sales benefit 826 National, which funds creative writing programs for kids. Get it at Bandcamp.
Nathaniel Rateliff and Jon Batiste’s Video Magic On “Run Rudolph Run”
Chuck Berry’s raucous “Run Rudolph Run” always seems to call to mind the Home Alone scene when the McAllister family is running for dear life through Chicago’s O’Hare Airport as they attempt to barely make their flight to Paris. Now the soul and folk rock and roll of Nathaniel Rateliff meets the dizzying multi-instrumentalism of 11-time 2022 Grammy Award nominee Jon Batiste on this new version. Debuted at the end of a Late Night With Stephen Colbert episode (where Batiste serves as the bandleader), they totally do Berry’s bluesy song justice. But the way they filmed their video is eye-popping to say the least, as our eyes are drawn to multiple Jons and Nathaniels playing the song. Watch it below.
Gucci Mane and 1017’s So Icy Christmas mixtape
Gucci Mane has put his East Atlanta Santa series to bed and now has the So Icy Christmas mixtape on deck featuring artists from his 1017 records label. 1017 Signees like Big Scarr, BigWalkDog, Enchanting, and Hotboy Wes grace tracks on the album that don’t necessarily fit into the holiday theme, but it’s the Christmas bangers that Gucci Mane himself is on that stand out best. Album opener “Street Ni66a Christmas” is produced by long-time collaborator Zaytoven. “All I Want For Christmas” is a street rap Christmas carol for the ages, where Gucci Mane spits: “All I want for Christmas is my Glock with the extension / A handgun with some monkey nuts, that’s all I want for Christmas.” He then takes a moment to say a prayer for Young Dolph on the Metro Boomin and Zaytoven-produced tribute track, “Long Live Dolph.” As far as holiday music traditions in rap go, Gucci Mane might as well be on his way to sainthood.
Kurstin x Grohl: The Hanukkah Sessions 2021
Picking up on the tradition they started last year, Foo Fighters’ Dave Grohl and super-producer Greg Kurstin (Adele, Sia, Foos) posted a YouTube video of them performing a cover of a song by a Jewish artist on each of the eight nights of Hanukkah. It was something to look forward during Hanukkah with Grohl (not Jewish) and Kurstin (Jewish) performing songs like Van Halen’s “Jump” (shout out David Lee Roth,) “Copacabana” with Grohl doing his best Barry Manilow impression, and Amy Winehouse’s “Take The Box,” with Grohl’s daughter Violet on lead vocals.
Jucee Froot As A Raunchy Grinch In The “Christmas List” Video”
Christmas just got a little more ratchet with Jucee Froot’s latest…errrr…holiday video. The rapper tips her Santa cap to the magic of Dr. Seuss with her provocative Grinch costume that spares no detail (all the way down to the green body paint. Uproxx Hip-Hop Editor Aaron Williams said this one best: “Her daughter’s also in the video, which lends another layer of heightened absurdism to the proceedings as Jucee reels off a Christmas list that will probably not only land her on the naughty list, but also send Santa to the doghouse for a week should Mrs. Claus peek over his shoulder while reading it.” Smash that play button below.
Beach Bunny – “Christmas Caller”
Holidays or not, this is just a damn great song and a welcome addition to the indie rock holiday music canon. Singer Lili Trifilio has a knack for oh so sweet hooks and she rides a poppy guitar hook on this one while delivering sugar cookie and cinnamon spice dusted “doo doo doos.”
Some of the artists covered here are Warner Music artists. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.
We’re just a few days away from Christmas and as we get hyped up for gift-giving and receiving in a few days, we’re well into the swing of our second annual 12 Days of Christmas interview series. This year, HNHH is capping off 2021 with new and exclusive interviews with G Herbo, Jim Jones, NLE Choppa, Capella Grey, Saucy Santana, and more. On Monday, we published an interview with Hollywood Unlocked’s Jason Lee, who spilled the tea on everything pertaining to his rise in pop culture.
As you possibly know, Nicki’s Barbz are one of the most loyal (and ruthless) fanbases in the world. They will always have their Queen’s back, defending her over anything and, oftentimes, calling out journalists and bloggers who have something negative to say about Minaj. Lee has often been critical of Minaj’s personal life — including her marriage to Kenny Petty, a convicted sex offender — and in his interview with Erika Marie, he spoke about his beef with the Barbz, who he once called a “terrorist group”.
“Just can’t give a f*ck, you know. I mean, like, you just can’t get—if you’re going to come and kill me because I criticized your song or you being married to a man who’s been convicted of rape or murder, and I have criticized moves that you made or uncovered where you lied, or…if your fan base wants to try to do all that, listen, I’m not really worried about that,” said Lee about Nicki and the Barbz. “I think that there are innocent people being hurt every day at work, at home, on the bus, in the streets. There are Black people being killed for simply being Black. So, death, violence, abuse, all that is just a part of life, and it’s going to happen.
When it comes to doing my job, I try to stay true to what I believe and true to what I see online. I try to be thoughtful when I speak about it. There are times that I fall short of that and I’ve been apologetic when I’ve done it, when I’ve crossed the line. Very few times. But look, ultimately, Nicki Minaj, I still listen to her music. I’m not a Barb by any measure, thank God, but I do like Nicki Minaj. I think she’s one of the many queens of Hip Hop, but she’s not the only queen. I think that we have to get to a place where we can set our differences aside, for the sake of the culture moving forward. I know she reached out to me to talk, [but] we never did. And that’s okay if we never do but ultimately, one day I hope to sit down and talk to her, too.”
Do you think Jason Lee and Nicki Minaj will ever get past their differences? Check out Jason’s full interview below.
K7 says that YG’s crew was allowed to roam backstage with about 70 people, carrying weapons. However, Drakeo was restricted to 15 people on his team and they were all checked for weapons before being escorted inside. K7 thinks that YG had Drakeo killed because he was afraid that the rapper was coming for his spot as one of the top superstars in Los Angeles.
“I’m speaking facts, bro, YG a real-life b*tch n***a,” said K7 in a live stream. “All them n***as is b*tches. On my momma, YG did some hoe sh*t. If I see cuz, I’m gonna slap the sh*t out that n***a.”
K7 says that YG’s security snuck in knives and other weapons, warning YG that he “can’t perform in LA no more” after this.
“It’s weird because Drakeo tried to f*ck with the Bloods when he got out of jail,” said K7. “N***as is hating. YG a real bitch. Because he knew Drakeo was going to take his spot. He set the whole sh*t up. This sh*t was a setup from the start.”
Watch K7’s video below and let us know what you think. Thus far, YG has not addressed the rumors that he was involved in Drakeo’s attack backstage at the festival this weekend.
During a recent sitdown with DJ Akademiks on his Off The Recordpodcast, Hit-Boy dished on some of his biggest records, including “Sicko Mode” and “N***as In Paris”. When speaking on “Sicko Mode”, the producer admitted that he actually played the beat for JAY-Z, but it was a little too late. Though Hov had a wild vision for the beat, Travis Scott paid up first. When it comes to choosing who will take the beat, it’s all about the money for Hit-Boy.
“I don’t promise beats my n***a. When I get paid, that’s who gets the beat,” Hit-Boy said. Travis had the beat for “Sicko Mode” for almost two years before it was released ahead of his Astroworld album. It wasn’t until after the song was released that Jay would come back to Hit-Boy about the beat. “You’re not going to Saks Fifth, you’re not going to Neiman Marcus and being like, ‘Cool I’m about to get a few outfits I’m finna wear these sh*ts out, I’mma think about paying you later,’ like, nah. You gotta pay for this sh*t and then it’s yours,” he continued.

If Hov had that track, the potential is unimaginable but Travis did it justice, eventually reaching diamond status. The multi-dimensional single dropped on August 21, 2018, featuring Drake and Swae Lee. The critically-acclaimed song was Scott’s first number-one single on the U.S Billboard Hot 100 and would receive Grammy nominations for Best Rap Performance and Best Rap Song.
Hit-Boy has had a monumental career, consistently producing record-breaking hits. During the rest of the episode, he talked about his collaborations with the likes of Kanye West, Beyoncé, Nipsey Hussle, and Nas. Check out the rest of the podcast below.
One of the best shoes of 2021 was the Nike Dunk Low. The sneaker received a ton of new colorways and it continued to be worn by influencers and average sneakerheads. With each new release, Nike looked to change things up as they flipped between retro models and new and unique offerings. Now, with 2022 on the horizon, Nike has plans to do even more with the Dunk Low, including the sneaker found in the images below.
As you can see, this shoe has a simple navy and white look to it. This color blocking is quite typical for the Dunk Low, although with this latest offering, Nike decided to go the vintage route as the midsole has a nice yellowed out look to it. Overall, this is just a nice Nike Dunk Low, and while it might not be the flashiest, it remains classy.
As it stands, there is no release date for this shoe, so stay tuned to HNHH as we will be sure to bring you all of the latest updates from around the sneaker world. Let us know what you think of this brand new Nike Dunk Low, in the comments section below.
50 Cent has seamlessly transitioned from a career in music to one in television, having a hand in some of the most exciting small-screen projects of the last few years. As the head of shows including Power and its extended universe, BMF, and more, as well as the upcoming shows about Snoop Dogg’s murder trial, Queen Nzinga, and others, 50 Cent has become a serious force in the entertainment world, and he has his eyes set on creating yet another game-changing series.
This time, Fif wants to make the modern-day equivalent of The Cosby Show, wishing to show a wider representation of Black love on television.

“I have had a crush on @phyliciarashad for forever,” he wrote about the 73-year-old actress, who played Clair Huxtable on The Cosby Show. “I don’t know, she can talk with her eyes. she was just it, I think it was the Cosby show it was the only representation of black love on Tv. I gotta make us a new one.”
While he seems to be in the very early stages of this idea, 50 Cent has proven that he can create some of the most entertaining shows on the small screen. He’s single-handedly revitalized the Starz network and with a Cosby-esque show, he could have the start of his next big hit series in the making.
What do you think? Should he green-light this one?
