New Hip Hop News

Kyrie Irving and the Brooklyn Nets have been on a roll in the playoffs although there have been some games where the team has gone completely cold. Game 3 against the Boston Celtics turned out to be one of those games and last night against the Milwaukee Bucks, it happened all over again. The Nets struggled to score and in the end, they were defeated by a score of 86-83, which is reminiscent of a game from the 2000s. 

During the Nets’ final possession, Bruce Brown had two opportunities to score the go-ahead basket which would have given the Nets the win. However, he missed by a mile on both occasions which led to a lot of slander on social media, despite his 16-point performance. After the game, Irving spoke on Brown’s missed shots and how the loss was far from Brown’s fault.

“Usually, Bruce puts us in a great position to at least have something at the rim that goes in, but tonight it just didn’t go for us. It’s not on him. It’s not on any one person. Just got to execute,” Irving said.

Despite this loss, the Nets are still up 2-1 in the series and it seems likely that they will be able to close it out. While this series may very well go six games, the Nets have more firepower and this was just a small setback in what is proving to be a deep playoff run.

In December, Juicy spoke about The Hustle Continues with Rolling Stone.

“I feel like we got so many classic songs, we’ll just tour off of those right now,” Juicy told the outlet. “I kind of want to leave the legacy where it is. Because I feel like we’ll be trying to compete with the songs we already got. I’m just kind of nervous and scared to do it because I feel like [the fans] might not receive it the same way as the stuff we did years ago.”

Tyga’s girlfriend, Camaryn Swanson, was spotted rocking a diamond ring on her ring finger, sparking rumors that the couple has become engaged. The couple was first spotted together publically during a trip to Walt Disney World in February 2021. Swanson posted a pic from the vacation with heart emojis confirming the relationship.

Swanson is a social media influencer and fashion designer. She also runs the lifestyle brand Meaning of Mine with her sister.

Tyga and Swanson are a much more low-key couple than Tyga and his previous partner, Kylie Jenner. The rapper spoke about the struggles of maintaining a public relationship with Big Boy TV in December 2020.

“When you’re in a very public relationship like that, it’s hard for other people to see you differently than that,” he said in the interview.. “Being in that it took a lot, career wise, everything. It overshadowed a lot of my talents and a lot of things that I worked hard for.”

“It got to the point where it was like, ‘I respect you, you respect me.’ I think it’s a mutual thing. This is what needs to happen,” he added.

We aren’t even halfway through the year and we are already starting to see sneaker teasers for 2022. These teasers are mostly coming out of Jordan Brand where there always seems to be someone lurking in the shadows, ready to give some new information at any moment. This information is shared by Instagram sneaker insiders, and accounts like @zsneakerheadz always seem to have the scoop. For instance, numerous new Jordan models for 2022 have been shared thus far, and today, yet another made its way to the internet.

The model in question is the Air Jordan 1 High OG “Omega Psi Phi” which is definitely a mouthful to pronounce. As you can see in the photoshop rendering below, this sneaker has white on the side panels, eggplant purple on the overlays, and gold on the toe box, back heel, and even the outsole. At first glance, this shoe does seem to have a bit of a Lakers edge to it and we’re sure that’s going to be an attractive quality for all of the sneaker fans in Los Angeles.

It is being reported that these will drop in the Spring of 2022 although this is a timeline that is subject to change. Keep it locked to HNHH as we will be sure to bring you all of the latest updates concerning this new model.

6ix9ine refuses to ever be put in a box. When he isn’t trolling fellow rappers or flexing bodacious jewelry, the New York rapper is largely out of the spotlight. Though he’s performed at a few shows since venues began opening up, the 6ix9ine conversation has been mostly focused on his Instagram feuds.

However, the rapper took a break from classless trolling this week to link up with Bradley Martin and SteveWillDoIt, the Youtuber-fitness influencer-party animal duo affiliated with the popular Nelk gang. In the video, 6ix9ine shows what he’s got, doing everything from arm wrestling Martin to showing his own workout technique.

 Unsurprisingly, the rapper lost the arm wrestling match almost immediately after stalling for a few minutes. Still, he seemed genuinely interested in Martyn’s gym routine, asking the influencer how long his workouts take and how much he weighed. After falling short of Martyn’s 17 pull-ups with his own 14, 6ix9ine then divulged his own unorthodox workout regimen. Strangely enough, he apparently uses his Rolls Royce as a sauna after a four-mile run. 

6ix9ine then continued to work out with the duo at his personal gym. The rapper’s new focus on fitness is a positive change of pace from his accidental overdose on caffeine and weight loss pills last fall.

Do you think 6ix9ine is one of the fittest in the game right now? See for yourself in the video below:

“Wait he a super star, why the fu*k is he paying a bitch to go on a date,” asked Fiddy on Instagram, reposting the rumors and adding a caption. “See what you did @quavohuncho they don’t know what they like till they see somebody with it SMH LOL Help me understand this!”

With the 10th anniversary of the Nike LeBron 8 and the Nike LeBron 8 Low upon us, numerous iconic colorways have been making their way back to the market. For instance, the Nike LeBron 8 Low “Miami Nights” is supposed to return soon while the “Sprite” colorway is also set to drop. Both of these models were heavily anticipated by fans, and Nike seems to be doing the right thing by bringing these back.

In the official images below, you can take a look at the “Sprite” model which appears to be the perfect shoe if you want to make a statement on the court. The upper is covered in flashy blue material, all while yellowish neon green is placed on the lining of the Nike swoosh, the tongue, and even the midsole. These definitely live up to the original and should prove to be a smash hit.

For those who are interested in going out and copping a pair, you will be able to do so as of Wednesday, June 16th for a price of $170 USD. These are set to be another dope drop and we’re sure longtime LeBron fans will want a pair. Let us know what you think, in the comments section below.
