The Kid LAROI Announces The “End Of The World” Tour
When most artists announce world tours, they often only mean that they’re performing the majority of their shows in the United States before visiting a couple of Canadian cities, and maybe stopping once or twice in Europe. Music fans have complained that artists generally skip out on South America, Africa, Asia, and Australia on their world tours. The Kid LAROI made sure to bless many of his fans across the globe with the official announcement of his End Of The World Tour, which will run for the first half of 2022.
The Australian artist is keeping himself busy for the start of next year, announcing his tour dates from January to June. The recently-announced leg of concert dates will start off with a North American run, which starts in Phoenix before dates in Los Angeles, Houston, Chicago, Detroit, Montreal, Toronto, New York City, Miami, and more.

At the end of March, LAROI will head to Europe to perform in Copenhagen, Stockholm, Munich, Cologne, Paris, London, and many other cities.
Then, he’s heading back home in May and June for shows in Sydney, Perth, Melbourne, and more.
“I am beyond excited to share this experience with you all,” said The Kid LAROI in his announcement. “It’s always been a dream of mine to headline a global tour. I cannot wait to see my fans all around the world and give them something that they won’t ever forget. It’s been a long time coming.”

NO1-NOAH Drops Sexy New Single “Bounce”
If you were looking for a track to help let somebody know how you get down, look no further than NO1-NOAH’s “Bounce”
NO1-NOAH, one of last year’s Billboard Top 15 Hip-Hop & R&B Artists to Watch, as well as Summer Walker’s first signee, gets right to it on this record. Turning up with his friends at the house, at the liquor store and in the streets, NOAH skates over an instrumental as bouncy as the track title and surrounds it with a hypnotic hook (“Bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce”). NOAH is explicit in what’s going down the second he hits the bedroom. Sparing no detail, NOAH lets listeners know the type of lover he is and much like Summer Walker, isn’t shy about his intentions with any of his lyrics.
Stream “Bounce” below and keep an eye out for NO1-NOAH’s upcoming EP You Should Come Over.
Quotable Lyrics
If you do it for me right I’ll do it better than you did
Make it bussin’ / Make it lovin’
Make you really want a kid
42 Dugg Trends After Saying He’s Not Smart In Viral LaRon Hines Video
TikTok star LaRon Hines built a following for himself by interviewing pre-schoolers, asking them if they’re smart before proceeding to quiz them with simple questions. Most of the time, the kids blurt out hilarious responses. The joyful videos are a fan-favorite on social media, and they have brought LaRon a level of fame, showing up at the Golden Globes and interviewing guests in his signature fashion. Now, he’s remixing his popular format by bringing celebrities into the mix, sharing the video for the “celebrity edition” of Are You Smart?
The first guest on the show was Kehlani, who raved about LaRon’s singing as she finished her own lyrics. Then, LaRon caught up to 42 Dugg.
“Are you smart?” asked LaRon.
“No,” he answered, confidently.
On the show, the pre-schoolers always tell LaRon that they are smart, so 42 Dugg’s answer came as a bit of a surprise.
“You supposed to say yes, bro!” said LaRon. “Are you smart?”
“No, again,” responded the rapper.
“Well, anyways, finish the lyric. Before I go broke like Joc…“ prodded the host.
“Rob me a broke ass b*tch,” said Dugg, misquoting himself.

The video has 42 Dugg trending on social media, with fans calling him a “bad ass kid” and noting that he’s got them cackling.

“The Batman” Spinoff About Penguin In Devlopment At HBO Max
Matt Reeves’ The Batman, which stars Robert Pattinson in the titular role, is easily one of the most anticipated films of 2022. In fact, it’s the exact sort of movie that sparks sequel and spinoff discussion prior to its theatrical release.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, Warner Bros. is already looking to expand the world of The Batman, reportedly linking with HBO Max to develop a brand new spinoff series. According to Variety, HBO Max is currently working on a series about Oswald Cobblepot — better known as The Penguin, a classic Batman villain who is due to appear in the upcoming movie. Colin Farrell, who portrays the notorious Gotham crime lord, has been approached to star — though as of yet, no deal has been inked.

In addition to Farrell, a couple of key players from The Batman will be involved in the as-of-yet untitled Penguin series. Director Matt Reeves and producer Dylan Clark are on board as executive producers, which should help ensure a sense of consistency throughout this new imagining of Gotham City. Variety also states that Lauren LeFranc (Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D, Chuck) is set to write the script.
With the series set to examine Cobblepot’s rise to power and transformation into The Penguin, it stands to reason that Farrell will have plenty of material to sink his teeth into. It’s certainly an exciting prospect, as Penguin has often emerged as a standout character whenever he’s portrayed in a live-action adaptation; in addition to Farrell, Penguin has also been played by Danny DeVito and Robin Lord Taylor, both of whom earned praise for their vastly different interpretations of the character.
Stay tuned for more news on the potential Penguin spinoff series, should it indeed move forward. Look for Colin Farrell to make his debut as the classic character in The Batman, which officially hits theaters in March of 2022.

Eminem Teases Shady Collab From GRIP & WS Boogie
In his recent verse on “Walkthrough,” a standout off GRIP’s I Died For This?! album, Eminem made a point of representing the artists of Shady Records’ new generation: “look at all these squad killers we brought with us / Juggernauts and Godzillas, you don’t rock with us, you’re off of your rockers.”
At this stage, Em’s label includes a few key signees, with GRIP, Westside Boogie, and Conway The Machine (though his ties with Shady will likely wrap following the release of God Don’t Make Mistakes). Though not everyone is willing to give Shady credit, in reality, the label has been on a quietly impressive run, having contributed projects like Eminem’s Music To Be Murdered By, Griselda’s WWCD, Westside Gunn’s Who Made The Sunshine, WS Boogie’s Everything’s For Sale, and GRIP’s I Died For This.

It’s no surprise that Em himself seems excited about what’s to come from the Shady camp, and today he took to Twitter to highlight a key link-up between two of the label’s artists. “What do these 2 Shady labelmates have cookin?” asks Em, sharing an image of both Westside Boogie and GRIP connecting for what many assume to be a new collaboration.
After all, Westside Boogie has been steadily working on his upcoming album, having previously made the trek to Detroit to preview his new body of work to Eminem. In GRIP’s case, the Atlanta lyricist only recently delivered his Shady Records debut I Died For This?!, but he confirmed to HNHH that he was already working on another project. No matter where this one ends up, it’s genuinely refreshing for longtime fans to see Shady Records having a presence in the game once more.
Check out Boogie and GRIP’s link-up below, and sound off if you’re excited to see these two collaborate? In the meantime, be sure to check out our exclusive interview with GRIP, where he discusses his brand new album right here.
