He used the “infinity” hashtag frequently in these new tweets, which made fans reflect on an August message he posted about missing a cousin which also used the hashtag. Some sleuths believe this is the name of a new record, whereas other Internet users think this is all just speculative fodder. Most people wouldn’t be surprised either way. But considering how The Real Me did not exactly get glowing reviews, the idea of a prompt bounce-back is enticing.

“Damn I miss my lil cousin Tana. It’s yo day today kid #infinity,” Fewtch wrote back in August. His tweets from this weekend followed with this “infinity” branding.

“It’s a flex u can brag to say u smushed one of my ex hxxs #DABIGGEST #INFINITY,” Pluto wrote, posting more tweets later on. “Dis s**t overly loaded. Jus wait…INFINITY. Zone 6 #INFINITY. LAFAMILIA #INFINITY. ain’t no stopping #INFINITY.”

However, it’s important to note Future has used the word “infinity” in previous tweets in contexts that had nothing to do with new music. Maybe the use of a hashtag was enough to get fans speculating, but there’s a good chance folks are reading too deeply into this.

Future’s Mixtapes

We will see if this eventually leads to an official announcement or if these messages have nothing to do with new music or endeavors. Fortunately, if there really is nothing on the way, at least Hendrix fans have had more to enjoy this year.

Beyond The Real Me, Future uploaded his old mixtapes to streaming services. Fans can now enjoy the original Dirty Sprite and projects like Kno Mercy on platforms like Spotify, opening the door for newer listeners to do their homework.

Also, Future is on the GTA VI soundtrack, and his collab with Metro Boomin and Yung Lean for the video game, “That’s It,” dropped as one of its singles. Whether “Infinity” is actually coming out or these tweets have been misinterpreted, 2026 has been a big year for the Freebandz MC.

“Just keep building the motherf***er,” K.Dot told his GNX collaborator in the clip. “Knock them out, just go. Don’t even overthink it. Just go. Have fun with it…”

“In the most humblest way, this album is a big deal for me,” AZ said later in the promo video. “I want to make sure I give it my all… If that ain’t enough, then s**t, I got nothing else to give. It is what it is. I’m willing to accept those terms. What a f***ing journey…”

Other close affiliates and collaborators like Hit-Boy, Sounwave, and others have also shown love to No Rest For The Wicked.

Kendrick Lamar & AZ Chike

Elsewhre, AZ Chike spoke on Kendrick Lamar’s role on this new album. This was during an interview with Bootleg Kev from a couple of weeks ago before the LP dropped, but they dropped their segment on it this weekend.

“I was really just keeping my fingers crossed, bro,” he said of a potential collaboration. “They still crossed. I don’t know what could happen. Them dudes is so spontaneous… A lot could still happen. And I be trying to read them… They very intentional, bro. But it’s not just Dot. Sounwave has been with me since I started the album… They was more concerned on how the album is as a whole… Them n***as is strict with the music. Rightfully so, though…”

As Kendrick Lamar features landed on unimpressed ears these days, fans hoped a Chike collab could bring him back to his high standard. Maybe we’ll have to get that at some other point in the future. In any case, AZ has big plans for how to make the most out of No Rest For The Wicked, and a lot of support in his corner to fine-tune his craft.

“I had an idea. It’s so funny, ’cause he just kind of ended up doing it in a different way. And not doing it, but, you know,” Max revealed. “But basically, last year, when Drake was first announcing ICEMAN and all that s**t, I hit him up. I was like, ‘I want to do an In The Booth with you and I want to basically have you make music in an igloo.’ The whole freezing s**t. Y’all remember how I was doing the custom booths with Central Cee? [Drake] was like, ‘Yo, that’s a fire idea. But I’m on tour, I got a lot of s**t going on. I don’t know if we could do that, I don’t know for sure.’ I was like, ‘Damn.’ That would’ve been cool, though. Shout out Drake.”

Given Drake’s livestream endeavors, we’re sure he would fit right in on “In The Booth.” We’ll see if this eventually happens one day, or if we get a similar experience with another creator. Either way, PBM will have more sessions to come with other stars.

Drake’s “FOMO”

PlaqueBoyMax’s reflection here points to Drake’s ICEMAN release back when it was in its early stages of public hype. This was amid his tours in Australia, New Zealand, and Europe for $ome $exy $ongs 4 U, and it wasn’t until this year that the new album finally materialized.

Speaking of new Drake content, “FOMO” is here in its entirety as a short film comprised of various vignettes and music videos from HABIBTI and MAID OF HONOUR. Fans enjoyed the new material he teased, and we’ll see if he has more music to share in a hypothetical “In The Booth” down the road. PlaqueBoyMax, and many other fans, presumably have their fingers crossed.

Quotable Lyrics from pawn shop

N***a can’t get caught lacking, what the f**k you thought?
Had a nightmare that I stayed in the same square miles i fought in,
Where they told me to bleed caution, but I chose exhaustion,
I was shooting in the dark, but I guess God guide some coin tosses

For those unaware, Blueface and Nevaeh Akira had publicly fallen out following tape leaks and her revelation about her NBA YoungBoy tattoo. But in new clips circulating on social media, it seems like the two are still cordial with one another and even living together for the sake of their son. DJ Akademiks TV caught a clip of Blue with their little one on Instagram.

“Chat, this baby’s saving her,” he said. “If she didn’t have this cute little baby, I’d kick this b***h to the curb.”

Via IG, The Neighborhood Talk caught some of the on-and-off-again couple clashing over their breakup. Nevaeh wanted to make it clear she was done with the West Coast rapper if he was so adamant about the split, whereas Blueface chastised her for her past and continued to mock her.

At one moment, he seemed sad she’s moving out in November, but he said he “loves that” for her. They were laughing a lot of this off, though, so it seems like all of this isn’t too serious.

Elsewhere, Blueface is dealing with other problems, mostly his swatting run-ins as a result of his livestreams. He told CBS Miami this is par the course for streamers today.

“Comes with the game,” the California rapper explained. “You get swatted. That’s what it’s called. It’s called being swatted. So, when you live-stream, everything’s live. So, sometimes the people watching want to feel like they have some type of effect on the stream. What happens? People it happens to. This is what they do. They call the police. They make false reports. Waste everyone’s time.”

Meanwhile, as Blueface and Nevaeh navigate more fan scrutiny, we’ll see if they actually maintain a solid dynamic or if more drama will follow. For now, even with all their clashes, it seems like they’re not ready yet to cut each other off, which would be devastating for their son.

Regarding Kendrick Lamar’s panned and praised features post-GNX, we spoke on the negative reception hitting collabs like “So Good” with Jhené Aiko and “Good Flirts” with Baby Keem and Momo Boyd. Aron and I aren’t big fans either, going over Kendrick’s MUSIC deficiencies with Playboi Carti and how his run of features since the Drake battle haven’t felt very consequential. We named the exception to this, though, as “Chains & Whips” with Clipse from last year.

This led to a debate about whether or not Lamar can “hold the crown” in hip-hop from this view, which we think is still possible. After all, this could be just an artistic shift he wanted to take for these collaborations and not rest on his rap laurels. But Aron and I hope this isn’t indicative of a future studio album direction, even if the strong hate for these features can go overboard.

HNHH Panel

Elsewhere, we also discussed the acquittal of Lil Durk in his murder-for-hire case. Beyond legal details, Aron and I focused on what could be next for Lil Durk considering he was already shifting his music to more pop-friendly directions. Also, he has another racketeering trial on the way, and we believe this and other factors will contribute to Durk’s difficulty in shaking this turbulent time off.

Finally, Aron and I discussed the Vince Staples debate, which sparked after he didn’t pick a favorite song of his and compared the question to asking a McDonald’s employee what their favorite burger is. We found the fan outrage to this to be very entitled, as it represents how art falls outside of its creator’s control once it’s out in the world. Aron and I spoke on the worth of music, Vince’s consistently compelling and honest perspective on the industry, and how his burger pop-up in response to this was dope to see.

Let us know what you think about all these buzzing hip-hop topics. Elsewhere, stay logged into HNHH to rate new songs and albums we’ve covered and check out our news and feature coverage.

“Pretrial Services has noted that Mr. Fields [NBA Ben10’s legal last name] is a self-employed rapper with no income, is single and has five children living with their mothers, that he has used marijuana and consumed Percocet (without a prescription) since he was a teenager, and that he drifts house-to-house,” the court documents reportedly read.

Many fans online mocked this description or Ben10 himself, questioning what relevance this poses to the case. As caught by DJ Akademiks TV on IG, DJ Akademiks had a particularly strong reaction to this on his livestream. This comes after he told NBA YoungBoy to avoid the United States and stay in South Korea amid this situation, even if it doesn’t directly involve him in any way.

“Oh, hell no. Why the feds trying to sneak diss my man Ben10 like he’s a nomad?” Ak expressed. “Like he don’t got a place of residence, talking about he drifts house-to-house. Why they sneak dissing, man? We seen the feds sneak diss [Lil] Durk talking about, ‘He ain’t no Jay-Z.’ […] Now we see this. They’re saying this n***a damn near homeless. Ain’t no f***ing way, man.”

NBA Ben10 Case

Elsewhere, other updates on the NBA Ben10 and AllStar JR situation involve the other man authorities recently arrested, OG 3Three. According to Complex, the manager of Master P wrote a character letter for 3Three before OG’s $200K bond request’s approval yesterday (Friday, September 18). He faces the same charges as Ben10.

Alvin “Juggie” McMillan Jr., No Limit’s executive vice president, reportedly said OG 3Three is “like a son” and praised his community and charity efforts. A Houston firefighter, the president of a local NAACP chapter, and more also wrote letters supporting the rapper.

3Three’s lawyer claimed he didn’t participate in the alleged robbery of AllStar JR despite being present. He also claimed his client wasn’t present for the shooting that took place later.

After Lil Durk’s acquittal on all counts in the murder-for-hire trial, TLR spoke to DJ Vlad on his VladTV platform to reflect on his experiences and respond to these criticisms. He said the notion that he wanted a guilty verdict is false, and later offered his thoughts on the upcoming VICAR case.

“I didn’t want Durk to be found guilty,” Ross expressed. “To be honest, I think not guilty is actually a good result for me. Because everyone that was saying, ‘It’s going to be your fault.’ Well, what happened to that? I’m not the feds. I’m not responsible for this.”

Elsewhere, he also posited the defense team raised enough reasonable doubt despite the prosecutors’ evidence being strong, albeit insufficient. Also, Trap Lore Ross claimed someone threatened him in the courtroom on one particular day.

When Is Lil Durk’s Next Court Date?

“Somebody said they were going to punch me in my big Jew nose,” he claimed. “It doesn’t even really deserve the acknowledgement. I’m not actually Jewish… They really felt like they did something by saying that. I don’t know if Durk heard that in the courtroom or if word got back to him. But that was the day I pretty much got home and then saw the message had come from Durk to leave me alone. All of that stuff, I don’t think it helped Durk’s case. That was the day people were threatening to beat me up and my security outside. Nobody did a thing… Durk was probably frustrated with all these idiots making threats of violence in his name when he is on trial for acts of violence… I don’t really care. It was like the comments section in real life.”

In addition, Ross spoke on Lil Durk’s next trial, for which a bond hearing has been set for November 4. Furthermore, it seems like this delayed the initial October 5 start date.

“I think he absolutely humiliated the feds,” Trap Lore Ross told DJ Vlad. “They’re going to have a lifelong vendetta against him. They probably just spent millions on this case. And he just got not guilty on all of those charges. And they thought they had it in the bag… This is my opinion… I think the feds are going to be out for blood… I think time served, what, giving him two years for a violent crimes in aid of racketeering [VICAR]? I don’t think that’s going to fly.

Bright orange covers the entire patent leather upper, top to bottom. It’s a bold, monochrome treatment that leans fully into Florida Gator’s team colors. Metallic blue Jumpman logos break up the look, along with matching blue Florida branding stitched onto the tongue ribbon.

Those two details are the only parts of the shoe that stray from orange. It keeps the design clean instead of overloading it with extra colors or graphics. It also lets the shape of the 11 itself do most of the talking.

Unfortunately for fans, these cleats aren’t releasing. Like most college football PEs, they’re built specifically for Florida’s roster during the 2026 season. Fans hoping to cop a pair will be out of luck this time around, though on-field sightings should keep photos circulating throughout the fall.

Florida Gators Air Jordan 11 Cleat

A post shared by UNISWAG (@uniswag)

Florida isn’t the only program getting this treatment either. Jordan Brand has already sent similar monochrome Air Jordan 11 cleats to both Michigan and Oklahoma this season, continuing a clear pattern across its sponsored schools.

That approach makes sense given the shoe itself. The Air Jordan 11 is one of the most recognizable silhouettes in the entire Jordan lineup. Turning it into a cleat gives sponsored schools an easy way to show it off on the field, without needing flashy extras to grab attention.

Florida has a long history of standout Jordan Brand PEs beyond just this one. The program has received exclusive versions of Jordans ranging from the 1 all the way up through the 30 over the years, covering nearly every era of the brand’s catalog.

Cleats like this one keep that tradition going, even without a public release attached. For Gators fans, it’s still a fun one to see on gameday, and a reminder of how deep Florida’s Jordan Brand relationship really runs.
