New Hip Hop News

People have been waiting for some brand new music from Drake for a while. The wait for Certified Lover Boy is real but he has assured fans that it will come sometime this year. Unfortunately, he never actually provided a window of time when we could expect it but thankfully, we got hit with a leak this weekend. “What’s Next” hit the web and though it wasn’t the best quality, it was a little something to hopefully hold fans over for the timebeing.

It appears that Drake isn’t too upset over the leak. The rapper passed a message along through Akademiks telling fans that they should hold tight and the leak was a “warm up ting.” Additionally, he told Ak that new music will be coming along shortly and some music videos are currently in the works. Even though members of the OVO team have stated that Drake is the only trusted source for CLB news, Ak assured that Drizzy was the source. In fact, he shared a glimpse into an upcoming music video that Drake was apparently shooting recently in the city of Toronto.

Drake has continued to use Akademiks as a means to relay information during this album cycle. With the recent revelation that new music would be coming in the coming months, Akademiks previously shared the news that CLB is slated to drop before April. 

Are you excited to get some new music from Drake?

It was kind of a mindf*ck finding out that Coi Leray was actually Benzino’s daughter. Over the years, she’s grown a brand independently of her father’s infamy in the rap game to launch her own career. Her single, “No More Parties” became her first Billboard Hot 100 entry, debuting at #84. Unfortunately, her family business has found its way into the public eye, though it’s partially her own doing. On “No More Parties,” she addresses her feud with her pops, rapping, “My daddy let me down, but I promise you I won’t let up/I wanna say fuck that man, but that shit won’t make me better.”

Benzino recently addressed his daughter’s issues with him but he said it was all a lie. He shared a lengthy Instagram response in the comment section, claiming that Coi’s been living well her whole life. He also said that her mother has a lot to do with her resentment towards him. “Coi was raised in a mansion and had everything she ever asked for. My other 2 sons are grown and would never say these things,” he said.

“This mf has the nerve,” she responded following an IG Live and a spree of comments she left under a post. “It’s crazy ’cause we was just on the phone crying yesterday, sharing this moment. Like, really sharin’ the moment,” she said during her live stream before elaborating in the comment section. “For this man to come on here and do this is so lame and this is th reason he burned all his bridges today. Look here father… I’m on billboard charting right now and all you can do is this lame shit? Yea still proving on how much you lack as a father,” she wrote.

She later took to Twitter where she continued to claim Benzino is a poor parent who’s never been there for her. “Just like a month ago he called me. We spoke. Told him I needed him. I needed my father in this cold world. He said I should of been a boy,” she tweeted. “Reasons why I be thinking I need a n***a to love me now because YOUR BITCH ASS NEVER DID!!” She continued.

“And this why I NEVER WANTED ANYBODY TO KNOW !! I’M EMBARRASSED TO BE YOUR DAUGHTER,” she added. “I should of been a boy your right cause I would of knocked you the fuck out already.”

Ultimately, she offered an apology for “stepping out of character.”

New Yeezy models have been plentiful over the last few years as Kanye West achieves his goal of getting everyone in the world to own Yeezys. While the sneaker line used to be incredibly limited, it is now much easier to come up on pairs and this has everything to do with increased stock numbers and an abundance of new releases. In 2021, the Yeezy brand won’t be slowing down, and the next shoe to get a new colorway is the Adidas Yeezy Boost 380.

This new offering is being called “Covellite” and it follows a similar motif of some of the newer Yeezy models. Of course, we are talking about the fact that more and more Yeezys contain the color blue. This model actually has multiple shades of blue all the way throughout the Primeknit upper, all while the midsole contains a gum aesthetic. There is even some black on the cuff and laces, which helps add a little bit of contrast.

These are slated to drop on March 15th for $250 USD, so keep your eyes peeled on the best place to cop a pair. Also, let us know what you think, in the comments below.

If you were to compile a list of the most influential shoes of all-time, the Air Jordan 1 would most certainly have to be on that list. It first came out back in 1985 and it was the first-ever signature shoe from legendary basketball superstar Michael Jordan. Throughout the last few decades, it has received an abundance of colorways and it feels like there will continue to be more and more as the years go by. In 2021 alone, there have been plenty of AJ1 teasers and today, another one came down the pipeline.

This latest Air Jordan 1 offering comes to us via @zsneakerheadz, and you can check the shoe out in the post below. As you scroll through the images, you can see that the shoe has a white base to it, while black overlays are placed throughout. The colorway is actually called “Electro Orange” and this is because of the orange that is found on both the outsole and the cuff. It’s a unique color scheme and it’s one that will work specifically well during the Fall season.

The tentative release date for these has been set to July 17th of this year although nothing has been officially confirmed. As always, stay tuned to HNHH for details as we will be sure to bring those to you.
