Homeboy Sandman & Aesop Rock Link For “Lice Team, Baby”

by

Homeboy Sandman and Aesop Rock are two lyricists who really make you think. It’s why they make for such a compelling duo whenever they connect on wax, as they have for the brand new duet “Lice Team, Baby.”

Being that the title is a real head-scratcher, no pun intended, it’s important to note that the single’s cover art sheds some light on what we’re dealing with. “Lice was actually the first-ever inter-racial Siamese twins ever,” it explains, a screencap from Aes and Sandman’s iMessage chat. “Scientists separated them at birth, but they were drawn to each other later in life.” 

The song itself is an absolute barn-burner, a raw instrumental over which the elite lyricists put on an absolute clinic. By now, if you came here you likely know what both Homeboy Sandman and Aesop Rock are all about, and rest assured that they both deliver with impressive dexterity. Check out “Lice Team, Baby,” and look for Sandman to strike again on his upcoming Anjelitu EP, as well as his final studio album Don’t Feed The Monster.

QUOTABLE LYRICS

With the book of life, last chapter’s happening
Fattening the parasite of my past life,
First cat to put my hat on backwards
Before that, I trained Raptors

Chris Paul’s Mortal Enemy Returns For Game 6 Of The NBA Finals

by

Coming into the NBA Finals, a large chunk of the NBA community was rooting for Chris Paul as this is the first time he’s ever made it to the big dance. After 16 years of agony, Paul finally broke through while playing for a new team that is full of youthful exuberance. The Suns were heavily favored in the series and in Games 1 and 2, they showed everyone why. They won both games with ease and for many, this was looking like a clean sweep of Giannis and the Bucks.

Once the series shifted to Milwaukee, everything changed as the Bucks won two games in a row and tied the series at 2-2. Just a few nights ago, the Bucks stormed back after an early deficit and defeated the Suns 123-119 to take a 3-2 lead in the series. With Paul struggling, he is now one loss away from losing his first-ever Finals, and with Game 6 going down tonight, he is facing immense pressure to perform.

Just like in Game 3, Paul will have a new obstacle in his path. This obstacle has haunted him throughout his last few playoff campaigns, so much so that he is 0-12 when this obstacle is on the court. Of course, we are talking about referee Scott Foster. According to Clutch Points, Foster will be in Milwaukee for Game 6, and fans are already gearing up for what could be a tough outing for CP3. Paul has been vocal about his run-ins with Foster and considering his recent record, the Bucks seem to have an advantage.

In all fairness to Foster, his presence did not affect the outcome of Game 3, however, he seems to be a bad luck charm than anything else at this point.

YG Scolds His Daughter After She Draws On His Lamborghini

by

YG is understandably upset after his daughter scribbled and drew on his all-white Lamborghini, showing off the damage on Instagram.

“My daughter got me fucked upd [sic],” joked YG on Stories. “How she disrespect the Lamborghini like that.”

The photo shows the side of YG’s car covered with dark scribbles from his daughter, who clearly couldn’t find a paper or a proper canvas. Despite his frustration over the damage done to his car, YG followed up the picture with a looped video of his daughter going to work with a disinfectant wipe, removing the pen marks from his exotic vehicle. Hopefully, they were able to remove all of the drawings but if not, this will definitely make for a funny story to tell his daughter in a few years when she grows up. Remember when you drew all over daddy’s $300,000 car?!

Following the release of his collaborative album with Mozzy, YG has been spotted in the studio with frequent collaborator Ty Dolla $ign. Aside from that, he’s been having a quiet year, staying out of the headlines for the most part and enjoying his increased time with family. Even when he’s cleaning up after his daughter, we’re sure he feels blessed to be able to spend time with his little one.

Check out the damage below.

Childish Gambino Turns In An Optimistic Cover Of Brittany Howard’s ‘Stay High’

by

This week will bring Jaime Reimagined, for which Brittany Howard recruited some of her musical peers to put their own spin on songs from her 2019 debut solo album, Jaime. She rounded up quite the cast for the project, as it features folks like Bon Iver, Earthgang, BadBadNotGood, Syd, and Common.

Also appearing is Childish Gambino (aka Donald Glover), whose cover of “Stay High” was shared today. Gambino’s rendition of the song starts with a string into before he sings in falsetto over jaunty keyboards, synths, and electronic drums. Howard’s original version of the song has more of an organic sound, but Gambino’s rendition retains the optimistic spirit of the original and doesn’t come across as too much of a departure despite the vastly different instrumentation.

Brittany Howard previously said of the project, “Making Jaime was so much fun for me because I was able to explore so many different genres of music. There were no rules. This reimagination project has been no different. I have been honored to have so many incredible artists from all musical worlds interpret my songs in such interesting and different ways.”

Listen to Gambino’s rendition of “Stay High” above.

Jaime Reimagined is out 7/23 via ATO Records. Pre-order it here.

Air Jordan 11 “Cool Grey” Returns This Year: Fresh New Look

by

One of the best shoes of all-time is the Air Jordan 11 and if you ask any sneakerhead, they will probably agree with that statement. The Jordan 11 was debuted in 1996 and thanks to Space Jam, it was one of the most celebrated silhouettes throughout Michael Jordan’s career. Over the last 25 years, we have seen some tremendous colorways make their mark on sneaker culture, including the “Cool Grey” model which came out back in 2001.

For years, fans have been begging for this shoe to return and in 2021, Jumpman is finally delivering. Every single year, Jordan Brand comes through with a Holiday Jordan 11 and the “Cool Grey” has become this year’s selection. Thanks to @zsneakerheadz and @_perfecto_pair on Instagram, we have a fresh look at these kicks, and as you can see, they live up to the originals quite nicely. The shoe is covered in different shades of grey patent leather and nubuck which ultimately fits that neutral aesthetic that fans have come to love so much.

This shoe is going to be dropping on December 11th for $225 USD, so stay tuned to HNHH as we will bring you all of the latest updates and official images. In the meantime, give us your thoughts on these, in the comments below.
