Kanye West’s Adidas Yeezy brand is in for a massive 2021. Last year, it felt like the brand had new shoes coming out every single week and it was all a part of Kanye’s plan to have Yeezys accessible for everyone. In 2021, that plan is currently seeing a massive scaling effort and as the year progresses, it looks like we will have an abundance of new models to choose from. May in particular is set to be special as Yeezy Mafia recently revealed a whole host of big release dates.
One of the shoes that are on the list is the Adidas Yeezy 500 “Enflame” which has been teased a few times over the past few months. In the images below, you can see how the shoe has a beige and brown upper that is interspersed with some navy blue. From there, we even have a bright and vibrant orange midsole which offers up a ton of contrast that makes these shoes immediately stand out.
As for the aforementioned release date, you will be able to grab these as of May 8th. Let us know whether or not you plan on copping, in the comments below. Also, stay tuned for more news from the sneaker world.
Gucci Mane feels excellent these days. For the last few years, the legendary rapper’s main priority has been to stack his label’s roster with the strongest talent around the country and he’s succeeded in doing so, introducing the world to his artists Pooh Shiesty, Foogiano, Big Scarr, Enchanting, and more. He took a vacation with his wife, Keyshia Ka’Oir, for the weekend and they were living the high life, reflecting on all of Guwop’s success this year.
Posting a video on social media, Gucci Mane answered how he was feeling and his answer will bring a smile to your face. The rapper showed major love to his four-month-old son Ice Davis, his artist Pooh Shiesty, and the man he refers to as his “secret weapon,” Big Scarr.
“I’m doing great. I’m actually doing excellent,” said the 41-year-old rapper. “I got a lot to celebrate. My lil brother turned four months. My artist Pooh Shiesty is through the roof. My secret weapon Big Scarr is opening they eyes, don’t sleep on him. All is well. Pockets on swole.”
Gucci Mane has been celebrating his artist’s victories all year, most recently shouting out Big Scarr for selling 22,000 first-week copies of his first-ever project. Pooh Shiesty’s mixtape Shiesty Season continues to be one of the most in-demand hip-hop projects of the entire year.
Look at how Guwop is living below.
The Migos are on the precipice of dropping off their upcoming album Culture 3, and while it currently appears locked in the perpetual coming soon stages, it’s only a matter of time. Though it’s admittedly been a minute since the trio delivered a new single, Migos have certainly increased the flurry of pre-album Instagram activity, signaling that a rollout is unfolding before our very eyes.
Today, the Atlanta trio took to Instagram to issue a reminder that the album is indeed “coming,” though they opted to keep the specifics close to their chest. They did, however, provide an endearing glimpse into their behind-the-scenes recording process, sharing a brief video that finds each member hard at work in the studio.
In the video, Offset, Quavo, and Takeoff can be seen tracking vocals and working through new sections, with the opening showcasing the latter two members coming up with some new melodies. Quavo is notably coachlike in his demeanor, quarterbacking as he and Takeoff repeatedly navigate through a section. Offset gets the spotlight next, firing off lines in the booth, landing some while others simply go the way of the mumble. It’s an interesting glimpse at how the dexterous trio puts in work, and it should be interesting to see how everything comes together on wax.
Speaking of which, we’re nearing the last week of April with no sign that Culture 3 will close things out this Friday. As such, it’s likely that more details (and possibly a new single) will surface in May. Keep an eye out for developments on the anticipated album, and in the meantime, check out the latest behind-the-scenes drop from the Migos below.
Not even one full week passed by before Young Thug, Gunna, and the entirety of Young Stoner Life Records re-upped on their new album Slime Language 2 by issuing a deluxe copy. The deluxe features eight extra songs, including new features from Future, Don Toliver, DaBaby, and more. That wasn’t the only new release of the week though as one of Memphis’ leading rappers Moneybagg Yo (who is also the star of our latest digital cover story!) dropped his new album A Gangsta’s Pain.
As with any other week, our staff had a lot of new music to sift through. We got to work quickly, even finding time to go through our flooded submission boxes to bring you the first “6 New Artists You Should Hear” article in a while. Gathering our five favorite releases from the last few weeks, our team tallied up some of our personal playlist picks to compile a larger staff-curated playlist, which is anchored by Moneybagg Yo and Young Stoner Life this week.
This week’s update also includes a couple of new records from Cordae, the new single from H.E.R., R&B selections from JMSN, Ruth B., and Q, and more. If you’ve been looking to hear a little bit of what we’ve got playing in our homes, check out the list below to see our individual choices.

Kanye West’s Adidas Yeezy Basketball QNTM has been a big hit ever since it released last year as part of the NBA All-Star Weekend in Chicago. It is one of those shoes that can be worn on the court and on the street, which makes it a versatile piece that appeals to a broad range of people. Having said that, it should be no surprise that every new colorway sells out almost instantly and that Yeezy fans are constantly inquiring about which offerings will be coming out next.
Well, according to Yeezy Mafia, the next Yeezy Basketball QNTM on the docket is the “Flame Orange” model which can be found below courtesy of @sneakertrigger. In the Instagram posts below, you can see how the shoe has a beige base while the stripes that go along the sides are a mixture of black, orange, and more beige. Overall, it is one of the flashiest Yeezy QNTM models to be shown off thus far and if you’re a fan of these colors, then you might just have to go out and grab these.
The release date is rumored to be on May 22nd with the shoe going for a price of $250 USD. Adidas has yet to confirm this date although Yeezy Mafia tends to get these things right. Be sure to keep it locked to HNHH for all of the latest updates from the sneaker world.
Kanye West’s sneaker creations have always led to a bit of controversy over the years. Just like his music, Kanye likes to get creative with his silhouettes, and sometimes, it feels like he is trying to reinvent the wheel. Numerous different models have been clowned online, including the Yeezy Slides which are known for their rigid design that has what appear to be spikes underneath. For the better part of two years, these slides have been made fun of online although today, Kanye had the last laugh.
Three new Yeezy Slides were released to the world through Yeezy Supply and as you can probably guess, they all sold out exceptionally fast. Thousands of Yeezy fans flocked to the Yeezy Supply website to try and get their hands on some $55 slides but in the end, it was all for nothing.
Image via Yeezy SupplyFans were not impressed with how quickly the slides sold out and many took to social media to voice their displeasure. Perhaps the biggest source of anger came from the fact that so many people said the slides were trash but sold out anyway. This always seems to be the case with Kanye’s shoes and sneakerheads should probably be aware of this by now.
Regardless, you can check out some of the best reactions to the drop, below.
Asian Doll has been publicly grieving the death of her ex-boyfriend, King Von, for months, using her platform to share her favorite memories with the late 26-year-old. While she hasn’t rebranded fully, she’s kept the rapper’s memory alive by referring to herself as “Queen Von” because of her close connection to him. Some view the move as a tribute, and others have accused her of disrespecting Von’s legacy by bringing him up. Nobody truly knows how close these two were, but apparently, the world has caught onto her “Queen Von” nickname because, during her latest trip to the nail technician, a bunch of people allegedly referred to her as such.
“I walked in the nail shop they talking bout omg Queen Von Here,” tweeted Asian Doll over the weekend. “I do not expect when Foreign people notice me.”
Many are calling out Asian Doll, claiming that she’s lying about this incident, making it up for more clout. When DJ Akademiks reposted the tweet, she was scrutinized to an even stronger degree with fans bashing her in the comments. Asian has already responded to those folks though, saying, “Why people saying they didn’t say that when they said exactly what I said.”
Do you think Asian Doll was actually recognized as Queen Von by her nail technician? Or did she make this story up?
DeMarcus Cousins is a player who has been plagued by injuries over the last few years although that hasn’t stopped him from grinding and trying to be the best player he can be. At the start of the season, he got to play with the Houston Rockets although eventually, they let him go after guaranteeing his contract. Leading up to the trade deadline, Cousins was advocating for a new home, and eventually, he was given a couple of 10-day contracts with the Los Angeles Clippers.
Now, Cousins has been signed for the rest of the season, according to Chris Haynes of Yahoo! Sports. The Clippers are set to go on a big playoff run and they will need to consolidate their depth in order to hit their goals. Needless to say, keeping Cousins for the rest of the season was high on the priority list.
The Clippers have made some big moves over the past few weeks. For instance, they traded Lou Williams for Rajon Rondo which has already proven to be an exceptional deal for both sides. Despite their failures last season, the Clippers are in the driver’s seat right now and they will certainly be determined to change the narratives surrounding the franchise.
