New Hip Hop News

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’s Yeezy brand has been doing extremely well over the last few years and in 2021, the brand is making waves with some new silhouettes. The latest to be introduced to the world is the Adidas Yeezy 450 which was released just a few weekends ago and sold out almost instantly. It is a shoe that has been teased for a very long time and features some shark teeth-looking aesthetics on the midsole. The first colorway was white, and now, a darker model has been teased.

Thanks to Yeezy Mafia, we now have a special look at the Adidas Yeezy 450 in “Dark Slate,” which can be found in the tweet below. As you can see, the Primeknit upper is black and the midsole is an even darker shade of black. Overall, it is a very stealthy look that is perfect for those who prefer to wear all-black outfits.

For now, there is no release date attached to the sneaker although fans can expect them to drop sooner rather than later. It’s a shoe that will attract a ton of Yeezy fans, and we will be sure to bring you all of the latest updates pertaining to this drop.

Today marks a milestone occasion for one of hip-hop’s genuine GOAT contenders, Busta Rhymes. As it happens, it’s the twenty-fifth anniversary of his debut album The Coming, the first of ten studio albums from the New York lyricist. Given the significance of the day, Busta took to Instagram to issue a reflective message, thanking his longtime fans and supporters for their loyalty throughout the journey.

“HAPPY 25YR ANNIVERSARY TO MY 1ST SOLO ALBUM #THECOMING,” captions Busta, alongside a heartfelt video message. “NUFF SAID!! LET’S CELEBRATE!!!!! LET’S ALWAYS CLAIM THE DIVINE!!” The clip itself finds Busta covering similar territory, stating “happy twenty-fifth anniversary to my first solo album ever, The Coming. March 26th, 1996. The evolution of the Dragon happened. So I’ma say this again. Everybody that’s been with me since that day to now and beyond, I couldn’t have done this shit without ya’ll. I love ya’ll, I salute ya’ll, I thank ya’ll.”

The milestone occasion was celebrated by some of his friends and collaborators, including Rapsody, who traded bars with him on the ELE2 highlight “Best I Can.” “Been bussin ass for 25 strong!” praises Rapsody. “Congrats! Love you, King!!!!!!” Swizz Beatz also hit up the Dungeon Dragon with some praise, writing “Happy Anniversary King 25 more plus, strong King love.” “Happy Anniversary Brother!!!” writes Rockwilder. “All the blessings of life to you king!” Even Giggs came through for an overseas co-sign, hitting Busta with “Veteran Ting.”

Clearly, the admiration runs deep. Understandably so, given everything Busta Rhymes has shared with his listeners throughout his decades-deep career. Happy anniversary to Busta Rhymes — why not consider giving The Coming a quick spin for old time’s sake?

Chris Brown is officially running out of room on his body to get new tattoos, filling up the lower portion of both of his legs with some meaningful ink that will always remind him of his two babies: Royalty and Aeko.

Recently appearing in the music video for “Already Best Friends” with Jack Harlow, Chris Brown has been laying low as of late, plotting out his next moves as he plans the release of his next studio album. With his diehard fans catching hints everywhere about what’s to come, including more collaborations with Clever, which the artist told us during a recent interview on Instagram Live, Breezy is getting busy by getting a couple of massive new tattoos on his shins, getting the names of his children inked on his legs.

“MY WORLD ON MY LEGS,” wrote CB on Instagram, posting a picture of the Ganga-designed pieces. The artist has previously tattooed the likes of Post Malone, Tyga, Jason Derulo, Travis Barker, Lil Pump, and others. On his left leg, outside shading spells out the name of his firstborn child Royalty. On the right leg, he’s got Aeko’s name shaded in. 

Chris has proven to be a loving father of his two kids, always posting them on social media and promising to be the best dad that he can be for them. He missed a few months of his son’s life as Aeko and his mother were stuck in Germany during the earlier months of the pandemic but it looks like Chris can see his babies whenever he wants now.

What do you think of his new tattoos?

MoneyBagg Yo and Lil Baby are two artists who are at the top of their game right now and over the years, they have given fans some incredible collaborations. All the way back in 2018, the two dropped “All Of A Sudden,” and in 2020, they gave us songs like “U Played” and “No Sucker.” All three of these tracks were big hits amongst fans and over the last year or so, supporters have been wondering if the two had any plans to link up for even more songs.

In our latest Digital Cover with MoneyBagg Yo, we asked him about the topic of Lil Baby, and as you can imagine, he has always enjoyed working with the Atlanta artist. MoneyBagg Yo notes that the two have some incredible chemistry and that there are always talks between them when it comes to working together.

“There was a conversation when we first made “All of a Sudden,” and then there was another conversation right before we made “You Played.” So it’s just in the talks. I just feel like everything is timing,” MoneyBagg Yo said to the idea of a collaborative project. “I feel that the fans should be a little more patient, maybe it’ll happen, maybe it won’t, like you said, we got a great track record of songs together so if I feel like we continue to do that– We’ll just keep putting out good songs together.”

These comments should come as good news to fans who have been hoping for them to get together again. Of course, it may take a while but like all good things, the wait will be well worth it.
