This week’s R&B season playlist has all the good vibes you need to get you through another long week, and some of our favorites come from Justin Bieber and Fousheé.
Bieber’s new album Justice has received a lot of attention since its release, some good and some bad. Some were angry at the pop star for using Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. samples, which he asserts was just to spread a positive message. Aside from the controversy, “Peaches,” which features Giveon and Daniel Caesar, made history after it became the #1 song alongside Justin’s #1 album, making Bieber the first male solo artist to do this.
Fousheé came through this week with “gold fronts,” which features rap legend Lil Wayne. The mellowed-out track is a huge feature for Fousheé despite not even having an album out yet, as the R&B singer gained popularity for her song “Deep End,” which went viral on TikTok.
Gallant also holds a spot on the playlist for his track “Comeback,” which comes off of his new project Neptune. Gallant has been a major figure in R&B for the last few years, but this new release really shows off the breadth of his abilities as an artist. Smooth vocals and a sensual beat shine through on “Comeback,” and the track is certainly not one to be missed.
Check out this week’s update to the R&B Season playlist below and be sure to subscribe to HNHH on Spotify.
LeBron James has worn a whole lot of sneakers throughout his career although most fans feel a large amount of nostalgia for the shoes that dropped all the way back when he was leaving Cleveland for Miami. In fact, one of his player exclusive models was a shoe made for those retro blue and orange Cavs jerseys that everyone has grown so fond of. This model was known as the Nike LeBron 8 “Hardwood Classic” and for the better part of a decade, fans have been hoping for this model to be released.
This shoe is exactly like the previous model as it has a mostly blue upper with a ton of orange highlights to make it truly flash. If you are a LeBron James fan, you certainly remember this model and this will be something you’ll want to add to your collection. It’s not every day a PE is made available for sneakerheads everywhere, and this will be your chance to cop one.
No release date has been announced for these so be sure to keep it locked to HNHH as we will bring you all of the latest updates. In the meantime, let us know what you think of the colorway, in the comments below.
Tekashi 6ix9ine is indisputably one of the most controversial figures in hip-hop history. Ever since his high-profile federal RICO case that he walked away from with minimal jail time by cutting a deal with the feds, the derogatory “snitch” label has been attached to his image. He’s landed in many pubic feuds with other rappers since his release, continuing to shift public favor away from him. In a moment of vulnerability, the rapper opened up about struggling to find happiness lately.
Sharing footage of himself in the Dominican Republic on Saturday (April 3) with an associate handing out cash and posing with fans, he offered a bit of transparency to fans about where he’s been. To all my fans I love you … I’m sorry I been away from music,” began the rapper in the caption of the post.
He went on to confess, “In all reality I’m not happy. The fame and the money doesn’t mean anything to me because it doesn’t bring me joy. I say all this because when your chasing your dreams in life remember God comes first.”
“Never lose sight of that. He blesses you in life because he sees the good in your heart and with that blessing you learn to bless others. I will continue my journey to find happiness within myself and find the joy I once had,” finished the Brooklyn native.
Usually one to be incredibly active on social media, his last post on Instagram was in early March. He also has stayed out of getting into it with other artists online, which makes sense with the revelation.
His first and only single of the year “ZAZA” arrived in February and he’s yet to release a follow-up since. Do you think 6ix9ine could possibly be hinting at stepping out of the public eye for good? Let us know down in the comments.
If there is one silhouette that truly never gets old, it would have to be the Air Jordan 1 High OG. After celebrating its 36th anniversary just a couple of days ago, Jordan Brand has continued to tease new models, and in the month of April alone, they are expected to drop some new offerings. One of those models is called “Hyper Royal” and below, you can find all of the official images.
As you can see, this shoe has a unique color scheme to it as the base is made with white leather, all while the overlays are a bright shade of blue suede. This blue has a bit of a tie-dye feel to it, all while the Nike swoosh and cuff are dressed in grey. These colors go together perfectly and if you are a big of the Air Jordan 1 High OG, this is shaping up to be one of those must-cop colorways.
In terms of the release date, these are expected to be released on April 17th for $170 USD and they will be available on the SNKRS App, so prepare for a ton of Ls. In the meantime, let us know what you think of these, in the comments below.

Kodak Black effectively doubles as both an entertaining media personality and a skilled lyricist. When he’s not busy cooking up hits in the studio, you can usually find him getting into some antic well documented on his social media platforms. It seems to have been a pretty eventful Easter weekend for the Pompano native, who unleashed his fiery new single “Easter In Miami,” and also debuted a new haircut. He also ate a fish eyeball while having Easter dinner, sharing footage of the ordeal he explains will bring him good luck.

The 23-year-old rapper uploaded videos to his Instagram story of the exact moments he faced the fish eyes. Gripping the fish in his hand, he explained, “Imma just go ahead and smack the whole head,” before biting down. He can be seen tussling with the fish’s skull a bit, shimmying it around to suck both eyeballs out as onlookers in the background watched in awe.
A wave of “Boy, you nasty as hell!” can be heard in the backdrop by his associates, all of which are ignored by Kodak as he finished off the second eyeball.
After successfully eating the fish, Kodak proudly flexes the empty fish eye-sockets, exclaiming at the end, “Good luck to me!”
He added in a separate post, “They say you eat the fish eyeball fa good luck… well.” Kodak has had pretty good fortune in the past few months, so it makes sense his desire to continue this streak.

DMX suffered an overdose on Friday night which ultimately led to a heart attack. According to TMZ, paramedics attempted to resuscitate him and while they were eventually successful, the lack of oxygen to his brain caused severe damage, leaving him in a vegetative state. Now, the rapper is in the ICU at a hospital in New York and he is trying his best to fight and stay alive. It is extremely sad news that has led to an outpouring of support amongst his fans and peers.
TMZ is now reporting that DMX’s fiancee and mother have shown up to the hospital and have even been able to see DMX in the ICU. With COVID, it’s become difficult for many to see their loved ones although DMX’s family was given an opportunity to visit. As was reported by the outlet, his children will also be making their way to the hospital.
The family is keeping some optimism that he will be able to make it although doctors have said that he is in a grave condition right now. DMX’s manager Steve Rifkind has asked fans to send him prayers right now, especially considering the circumstances. It’s a sad story, and everyone is hoping that DMX pulls through.
We will continue to provide updates on DMX’s condition as this is a developing story.

The Weeknd has proven time and time again to be quite the philanthropist. He’s previously lent a helping hand out to other humanitarian efforts like COVID-19 relief and racial justice causes like Black Lives Matter and Colin Kaepernick’s Know Your Rights camp. He also donated $300,000 to Lebanon to aid those who had been affected by the Beirut explosion. Helping another nation in need, the After Hours artist is donating $1 million to hunger relief efforts in Ethiopia amid the country’s ongoing internal conflict.

The XO artist announced the news of the donation via his respective social media channels on Sunday (April 4), urging others to follow suit. “My heart breaks for my people of Ethiopia as innocent civilians ranging from small children to the elderly are being senselessly murdered and entire villages are being displaced out of fear and destruction,” The Weeknd wrote.
“I will be donating $1 million to provide 2 million meals through the United Nations World Food Programme and encourage those who can to please give as well,” he finished, adding that the donation link for those interested would be in his bio.
Both of the Toronto native’s parents immingrated to Canada from the East African nation. The conflict in the country, which has left many innocent civilians either displaced or dead, stems from tensions between the government in Addis Ababa and the Tigray region.
Last month, in a U.S. internal government report obtained by The New York Times, Ethiopian officials were described as “leading a systematic campaign of ethnic cleansing” in the Tigray region.
