New Hip Hop News

It feels like yesterday when Danielle Bregoli first went viral following her appearance on Dr. Phil’s daytime talk show, in which the young woman-turned-rapper infamously told audience members who were critical of her irresponsible actions, “Cash me outside, how bow dah?” In reality, however, the viral incident happened roughly five years ago when Bregoli was 13 years old, and now the former out-of-control teenager has officially turned 18.

To celebrate her 18th birthday, the rapper, now known as Bhad Bhabie, posted a sultry new photo on her Instagram. Initially, Bregoli posted a suggestive picture that featured her laying down and seemingly shirtless, with her hair keeping the post PG by covering the top of her chest. In that post, the rapper wrote, “Happy birthday to me!!!! boutta go to the bank at 12:01.” The sheer number of laughing emojis utilized in her post was enough to illustrate how ecstatic Bhad Bhabie is to officially be an adult.

She quickly followed up her first birthday post with a revealing thirst trap that featured the rapper posing on the edge of a shimmering pool. In true thirst trap fashion, Bregoli left no caption to go along with the visual, but judging by her confidence in the steamy poolside picture, no explanation was needed.

The “Gucci Flip Flops” rapper is the latest Aries to celebrate their birthday, following Big Sean’s 33rd birthday yesterday, so Happy birthday Bhad Bhabie!

Young Thug remains one of the most influential artists of his generation, constantly shifting the culture with his genre-bending displays of creativity. It’s impossible to put Thugger in a box, which is the reason why we love him so much. He could release a country album, a full-on rap project, a mixtape filled with rock songs, and pop-influenced sounds and it would still end up sounding ground-breaking. 

As he continues to tease the upcoming releases of Slime Language 2 and PUNK, his solo album, Young Thug dropped off a teaser video of one of his latest efforts in the studio. What sounds like a collaboration with Young Stoner Life Records signee Gunna, the new song recalls 2017’s Beautiful Thugger Girls, a commercial mixtape that saw the artist dive deeper into his country-based inspirations.

The guitar-driven song is produced by Turbo, one of the YSL collective’s favorite young producers. It doesn’t sound much like anything on Thug’s latest album So Much Fun and it’s currently unclear which project this song was intended for. With the inclusion of Gunna on an additional verse, it’s quite possible that this record will be included on Slime Language 2, which is the label’s compilation project.

Listen to the latest snippet from Young Thug and let us know if you want more music in this realm from the 29-year-old mastermind.

Lonzo Ball was a big name at the NBA trade deadline as many fans expected him to be traded. There were reports that LaVar wanted him out of New Orleans and that Lonzo himself was ready to move on and go somewhere else. In the end, however, the Pelicans opted to hold on to Lonzo, as there didn’t seem to be any trades that made sense for them. Now, Lonzo is will the team for the rest of the season, and he will be a free agent at the end of it.

According to Will Guillory of The Athletic, Pelicans executive David Griffin had a conversation with Lonzo, who ultimately told him that he wants to be in New Orleans and that he will be putting his best foot forward for the rest of the season.

Griffin explained that he likes what he has seen from Lonzo and his teammates although there have been some disappointing moments throughout the season. The Pelicans have struggled to be consistent and at this point in the season, their playoff outlook remains fairly bleak. 

Regardless, the Pelicans can rest easy knowing Lonzo’s status is secure, and the team can now move on with the season. As for free agency, well, that’s a whole other story.

It’s no secret that David Ayer’s Suicide Squad was not exactly a beloved cinematic property. In fact, it was pretty much maligned across the board. Yet that didn’t stop DC and Warner Bros, who remained adamant that the franchise had limitless potential. They proceeded to reach out to director James Gunn, who knocked it out of the park with Marvel’s Guardians Of The Galaxy, and seemingly gave him full creative control — a decision that may very well prove to be a winner. 

At long last, the first trailer to the anticipated Suicide Squad sequel has arrived, about as maniacal as you might expect. Providing a closer look at Idris Elba’s Bloodsport, John Cena’s Peacemaker, Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn, Joel Kinnaman’s Rick Flagg, Michael Rooker’s Savant, and — perhaps most memorably — the Sylvestor Stallone-voiced King Shark, the trailer features plenty of filthy antics, brutal gore, and bizarre imagery to unpack. 

Though the general plotline appears to follow similar beats as the first film — which is to say, a gaggle of miscreants coerced by the merciless Amanda Waller (Viola Davis) into participating in a high-stakes and potentially fatal mission under threat of death-by-head-explosion —  the sheer volume of characters and personalities onboard should ensure that The Suicide Squad is a rollicking (and explosive) good time. Interested parties can check out the official red-band trailer below, and sound off if you’re excited to see what the deranged mind of James Gunn brings to the table. 

With the NFL Draft going down next month, many fans were fully expecting there to be some massive trades as we get closer to the big day, General Managers are looking for big ways to make their teams better and there is no easier way of doing that than through trades. The Miami Dolphins have been a team at the top of everyone’s mind thanks to the fact that they have the third overall pick in this year’s draft. Having a top 3 pick is always crucial, and today, the Dolphins parted way with the slot.

According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the Dolphins sent the third overall pick to the San Francisco 49ers in exchange for the 12th overall pick, two future first-round picks, and the third-round selection in 2021. Needless to say, the 49ers had to give up a lot just to move up nine spots in the draft.

The 49ers are rumored to be seeking a quarterback and even the Dolphins were rumored to be doing the same thing. In fact, most Dolphins fans thought they would be getting Deshaun Watson, although trading the third overall pick to the 49ers is proof that they would rather just ride it out with Tua at this point.

There is going to be even more NFL news on the horizon, so keep it locked to HNHH for all of the latest updates.

Kanye West is one of the biggest artists of all-time and while his music is what made him famous, it’s clear that his sneaker output is what many fans have been paying more attention to. There are a few silhouettes that have gotten people’s attention, including the Adidas Yeezy Foam Runner which is known for looking like a pair of Crocs that came from outer space. Various colorways of this shoe have been released and as the year goes on, fans can expect even more to hit the market.

According to Yeezy Mafia, a Foam Runner colorway called “Mineral Blue” will be dropping in just a couple of months from now.
