The Original Air Jordan 4 “Fire Red” Is Finally Coming Back

Ben Atkinson — Fri, 11 Sep 2026 10:59:03 +0000

The Air Jordan 4 “Fire Red” is set to return Fall 2027 for $230. It’s expected through SNKRS, Foot Locker, Finish Line, Shiekh, and Hibbett. This marks the colorway’s first release since 2020.

This is one of 4 original Air Jordan 4 colorways from 1989. It’s the last of that original group still waiting for its 2020s comeback. Jordan Brand has already brought back the other three over the past few years.

White leather dominates the upper here. Black hits the wings, mesh netting, heel, and portions of the midsole. Fire Red wakes everything up around the eyelets, lining, tongue, and heel branding.

Grey rounds out the outsole for some added contrast. Nike Air branding is expected to return on the heel tab too. That detail first came back during the 2020 release after years of Jumpman-only branding.

According to zSneakerHeadz, we can expect an even closer-to-OG shape and toe this time around. Updated mesh and netting should also be part of the build. Improved cushioning rounds out the list of expected changes.

Full family sizing should be available as well, including grade school, preschool, and toddler pairs.

“Fire Red” has returned a handful of times since its original release. The 2006 version added Mars Blackmon artwork to the heel. That nod tied back to Jordan’s early advertising work alongside Spike Lee.

A 2012 retro switched things up again, swapping in Jumpman branding instead. Many collectors felt that version drifted furthest from the original shape. The 2020 pair course-corrected by bringing Nike Air branding back and tightening up the build.

This 2027 version looks to continue that same trajectory. Getting closer to the 1989 original has become the clear priority with each new release. For longtime fans, that attention to detail matters just as much as the colorway itself.

With this release, all 4 original Air Jordan 4 colorways will have returned within just a few years of each other. That gives collectors a rare chance to complete the entire original lineup in the same era.

BIGGER THAN THE DEVIL — Album by EST Gee

Tallie Spencer — Fri, 11 Sep 2026 06:43:00 +0000

EST Gee is getting back to business with his new album, BIGGER THAN THE DEVIL. The Louisville rapper delivers 20 tracks on the project, continuing the straightforward storytelling that has become central to his sound. Gee gave fans several previews leading into the release, including “SOMETIMES,” “CALL SPITTA,” “THUG CLUB,” “SUPREME SANDERS,” “YA DIGG” with EST SkiMike, and “YOU KNOW IT” with 86Snot, EST Spit, and EST4Nikk. At 20 tracks, there’s plenty of room for Gee to settle into the rap delivery his fans have come to expect. He remains at his best when his bars are understated and the details in his lyrics do most of the work. BIGGER THAN THE DEVIL doesn’t require him to completely reinvent himself, but instead gives him another chance to double down on the sound he’s built his name around.

Too Bad – Song by Rich The Kid featuring Gunna

Tallie Spencer — Fri, 11 Sep 2026 05:53:00 +0000

Rich The Kid and Gunna team up for their latest single, “Too Bad.” The two Atlanta rappers have crossed paths several times over the years, and their newest link-up brings them back together as both continue releasing music in 2026. Rich teased the collaboration ahead of its release on social media, which got fans excited about the link up. The pairing makes sense, with both rappers sounding comfortable over melodic, polished production. Gunna’s smoother delivery plays well against Rich’s more animated flow, giving the track some contrast without either artist doing too much. It’s an easy listen that taps back into the chemistry they’ve already shown on previous collaborations.

Genre: Hip-Hop/Rap
Release Date: September 11, 2026
Album: N/A

Quotable Lyrics

Could make you a star, I told her, “Hop in the Wraith”
I know she a dime, I could tell by her shape (Tell by her shape)
We can go to Chanel, have a ball (Ball)
Look at my b**ch, she too bad for y’all (For y’all)

Backwards – Song by Quavo featuring T.I.

Tallie Spencer — Fri, 11 Sep 2026 05:46:00 +0000

Quavo is keeping his current run going with “Backwards,” a new collaboration with fellow Atlanta heavyweight T.I. The record is a fun party anthem. It brings together two artists from different eras of the city’s rap scene, with T.I. helping shape Atlanta’s mainstream rise years before Migos became one of the biggest groups to come out of the city. “Backwards” serves as another preview of Quavo’s upcoming album, QRÖMELIFE, which is currently set to arrive October 2 with Pharrell Williams serving as executive producer. The pairing alone makes “Backwards” an interesting Atlanta moment, especially considering how much the city’s sound has changed between their respective eras. Quavo and T.I. each bring their own recognizable approach without making the collaboration feel forced. If QRÖMELIFE continues pulling together unexpected names like this, Quavo could have an interesting project on his hands.

Genre: Hip-Hop/Rap
Release Date: September 11, 2026
Album: QRÖMELIFE

Quotable Lyrics

Freaky dancer, still begging mе to wife her (Freak)
First time I met lil’ mama, ooh, she let me pipe her (Uh)
Don’t leave your girl ’round me, I’ma snipe her (Smash)

So Good – Song by Jhené Aiko featuring Kendrick Lamar

Tallie Spencer — Fri, 11 Sep 2026 05:26:00 +0000

Jhené Aiko and Kendrick Lamar are back together on “So Good,” a standout collaboration from her new album, Westside Whimsy. It’s a nostalgic sounding record for the lovers. The track marks their first proper collaboration in more than a decade, bringing things full circle after Jhené appeared on Kendrick’s 2010 mixtape Overly Dedicated. Kendrick later returned the favor with a verse on “Stay Ready (What a Life)” from her 2013 EP Sail Out. On “So Good,” Jhené’s smooth, laid-back approach pairs naturally with Kendrick, who adds another layer to the record without taking away from its dreamy feel. It’s an easy reunion that feels familiar while still fitting into where both artists are musically today.

Genre: R&B
Release Date: September 11, 2026
Album: Westside Whimsy

Quotable Lyrics

Huh, I’ll be on a sick one, thinkin ’bout you, ’bout you, ’bout you (A little bit)
F**k ’em all, tell ’em we the only gospel
Duckin’ off anytime it’s a house full (House full)
Let ’em talk, only right they have a mouthful
Break out the spades, pipe up the party

Young Thug recently returned with YSL’s massive Slime Language 3, while NAV continues adding to his own run of releases.

Vince Staples Says He Doesn’t Have A Favorite Song Of His, Responds To Fans Who Don’t Get It

Tallie Spencer — Fri, 11 Sep 2026 03:57:00 +0000

Vince Staples sparked a debate online after revealing that he doesn’t have a favorite song from his own catalog. For Vince, the reasoning is pretty simple: making music is his job.

“This is my job. They don’t got a favorite burger when they flip them at McDonald’s. I’m a working man,” Vince explained in a recent interview clip.

That comparison didn’t sit well with everyone. Some fans felt like comparing music to flipping burgers made it sound like Vince wasn’t passionate about his art. Others argued that he’s in a position most people dream of being in and should look at his career differently.

Vince saw the reactions and decided to spend some time going back and forth with fans on X.

Vince Staples Goes Back And Forth With Fans

See, y’all aren’t mad that I don’t have a favorite song. Y’all are mad because you assume I’ve reached a level of success and finances that people dream for, which is true. But you also think I am undeserving of that because I don’t adopt the way of thinking that we were told we…
— vince (@vincestaples) September 9, 2026

When one person asked if he was “making art” or “making burgers,” Vince joked, “A burger cost more than a song.” Another fan told him that people simply want him to love the job they’ve supported him in. Vince responded by asking, “Why? Serious question. Let’s have a dialogue I’m free this morning.”

Eventually, the Long Beach rapper gave a longer explanation of where he was coming from. According to Vince, fans were placing their own ideas of success and fulfillment onto him.

“Y’all aren’t mad that I don’t have a favorite song,” he wrote. “Y’all are mad because you assume I’ve reached a level of success and finances that people dream for, which is true.”

He added that people seemed bothered because he doesn’t view that success the way they expect him to. Still, Vince didn’t appear too bothered by the criticism. In another post, he sarcastically asked fans what they wanted his favorite song to be so he could “add it to the lexicon.”

The whole conversation is pretty on-brand for Vince, who has never been shy about challenging the way people view artists and celebrity. For him, calling music a job doesn’t necessarily mean he doesn’t care about it. He just doesn’t seem interested in romanticizing the work simply because he’s successful at it.
