Jordan Brand has always been interested in celebrating various Holidays around the world and when they so, it is typically manifested in a brand new sneaker colorway. One Holiday that Nike always engages in is the “Day Of The Dead,” which is a two-day event in Mexico that pays homage to those who have passed on. The sneakers that have come from this holiday are always crowd-pleasers, and in 2021, it seems as though Jumpman will be coming through with yet another “Day Of The Dead” offering.
In this photo below, provided by @soleheatonfeet, you can get a solid sense of what this Air Jordan 6 Low colorway will look like. For now, it appears to have a white leather upper, all while yellow and orange highlights can be found throughout. There is some black on the tongue and the midsole as well, which certainly adds a nice touch to the aesthetics of the shoe. Overall, it’s a clean model that should certainly excite fans of the silhouette.
There is no official release date for these although as it stands, October seems like the most realistic timeframe. Details will continue to surface for these so keep it locked to HNHH for all of the latest updates.
Lena Waithe and Common’s co-produced TV show The Chi first aired in 2018, and since its premiere, the Chicago-based drama has gone on to become a critically acclaimed and award-winning series. Its previous season aired during the summer and fall of last year, and after getting renewed in September, The Chi is finally gearing up for its fourth season.
In anticipation for the next chapter of the Showtime drama, The Chi has dropped a new trailer, which teases the fourth season’s focus on police brutality and protests. The trailer also provides sneak peeks of two of The Chi‘s newest cast members: Chicago natives and music industry juggernauts Vic Mensa and Da Brat.
According to Deadline, Vic Mensa will be playing the recurring role of Jamal, a passionate but high-strung man who is fighting to get help for his girlfriend and younger sister. Da Brat will reportedly just make a guest appearance as LaPorsha, a truck driver who’s just as comfortable passing through beds as she is through state lines.
“The Chi” returns for its fourth season on May 23, so in the meantime, check out its trailer below.
If you haven’t yet seen the first three seasons of “The Chi,” will you be tuning in now that Vic Mensa and Da Brat will be playing roles in the forthcoming season?

Quotable Lyrics:
Don’t need a b*tch that’s classy
I need a b*tch that’s nasty
F*ck you while you lookin’ at me
She said, “Spit in my mouth and slap me”
That’s how I like it, baby
Love when you ride it, baby
She like, “Nut inside mе, baby”
I’m like, “Girl, you crazy”
Nearly four years removed from her latest studio album You Make It Feel Like Christmas, Gwen Stefani is ramping up for a comeback with Let Me Reintroduce Myself. After teasing one of its new songs, “Slow Clap,” on Instagram, she released the video today, complete with a guest appearance from pop-rap princess Saweetie.
The new song flows in the same vein as Stefani’s previous tracks with Eve: It’s got a dancehall/reggae vibe, upbeat lyrics, and a call-and-response chorus that encourages listeners to sing along. Even the video, which finds the two stars taking over a high school gym for some pep rally-style shenanigans, may remind fans of the video for “Hollaback Girl.”
Although Gwen hasn’t released much new music over the past few years, she’s been a hot commodity as a collaborator, working with her fiance Blake Shelton on “Nobody But You” and with dance-pop star Dua Lipa on the remix version of her album Club Future Nostalgia.
Meanwhile, Saweetie has been an in-demand guest star as well, popping up on Lil Tjay’s recently released album Destined 2 Win, and preparing to feature on Demi Lovato’s next album. Her fans also believe a collab with Nicki Minaj is in the works.

Saweetie is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.
After a nearly four-year hiatus, Miguel returned to the spotlight a few weeks ago, releasing the first three volumes of his Art Dealer Chic EP series on DSPs along with a new song, “Funeral.” Then, on New Music Friday this week, he followed up with Art Dealer Chic, Vol. 4 and the video for “So I Lie.” Some fans believe he reveals that he’s about to be a father through a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it cameo from a very pregnant-seeming woman who looks a lot like his wife Nazanin. If so, it’d be a surprise to fans who follow the couple on social media, where they’ve given no hint of such a life change taking place.
is that a pregnant nazanin in “so i lie” video?

Of course, the deception of social media fits with the theme of “So I Lie,” in which Miguel reflects on the fickle nature of fame. “Laugh and the world will laugh, too,” he mulls. “Cry and the world laughs at you, girl / So I lie to myself / Let’s be real, I’m afraid of how I feel / So I lie to the world.”
Appearing on Apple Music’s R&B Now Radio to talk about the new EP, Miguel told host Nadeska, “I want to make stadium R&B… I want to make big, ‘We Will Rock You’ R&B songs.”

Unfortunately, DMX’s condition reportedly has not improved since the last update, as TMZ is reporting that his organs are “failing by the minute”.
The rapper suffered a heart attack on Friday, which was triggered by a drug overdose. He was rushed to a hospital in White Plains, New York, where he has remained in a coma for the last week. Last night, there were multiple reports that DMX was taken off of life support, which were immediately refuted by his manager, Steve Rifkind. “Please stop with posting with the rumors. DMX is still alive,” he said in a video statement. The latest update from this morning regarding X’s health is not promising.
According to TMZ, official sources have confirmed that DMX’s organs are “failing by the minute”. The publication notes that this is a sign that, under the circumstances, could indicate the end of his life. Friends and loved ones were reportedly informed to fly in to be with the rapper on what could be his final day.
The family will reportedly make a decision shortly about whether to keep DMX on life support. The final decision will be made by his mother, Arnett.
We will keep you updated with the latest news as it’s released. Pray for DMX and his family.
From getting into it with WWE wrestler Randy Orton to claiming that he put everyone onto the Japanese streetwear brand BAPE, it definitely seems like Soulja Boy always has time to engage in some social media antics, but don’t let them fool you, Big Draco is still putting in the work in regards to his career as a rapper.
Following the steadily-rising success of his recent song “She Make It Clap” as well as its corresponding TikTok challenge, Soulja Boy is celebrating his new deal with Virgin Music. After the label’s Twitter account welcomed the Soulja World artist to its roster, Big Draco replied graciously with a simple “Thank you” and a slew of emojis.
Not to be confused with the iconic Virgin Records that housed David Bowie, The Spice Girls, Aaliyah, Janet Jackson, and Lenny Kravitz, among countless other influential music acts, Virgin Music Label & Artist Services is a newly launched branch of Universal Music Group that focuses on building partnerships with artists by offering independent distribution and label services.
By signing a deal with Virgin Music, Big Draco joins the company of contemporary artists such as Trippie Redd, Internet Money, Mac Demarco, and several others. While details surrounding his deal with Virgin Music, Soulja Boy will likely have many more resources at his disposal while still maintaining his agency as an artist.
Congratulations to Soulja Boy for joining the Virgin Music family!
OJ Simpson has been through a lot over the course of his life, especially when it comes to legal battles. In the 90s, Simpson famously went on trial for the alleged murder of his wife, and in the end, he was found not guilty. Eventually, Simpson went to jail for another offense but since getting out of prison, he has taken to Twitter where he gives his hot takes on all things football.
Recently, Simpson made a video about Sam Darnold joining the Panthers. In that same clip, he also spoke about Deshaun Watson, who is being sued by 22 women for alleged sexual assault. Simpson weighed in on the ordeal saying that he is a big fan of the quarterback and that he hopes things work out for him. The former NFL player also believes there are parallels between him and Watson.
“Now, I’m a big fan of Deshaun’s — the man always had a sterling reputation and I’m a guy that knows what accusations can do your reputation,” Simpson said. “I would hate not to see him play again and I know we got to let the system work itself out, but my prayers are with him.”
Getting an endorsement from OJ isn’t exactly the best thing in the world although these days, Watson has very few people still on his side. As the months go on, the full scope of his legal battles will develop and we will be sure to bring you all of the latest updates.
