His latest album, Free Agent, was unfortunately made under some heartbreaking circumstances. BlocBoy’s best friend and producer Tay Keith passed away. On the new album, there is even a song called “LLTK,” which is an official tribute. However, one can say that BlocBoy JB honored his friend’s memory in the best way possible. He crafted a project that is filled with dope tracks. It’s some of BlocBoy’s most focused work, and fans definitely should support.

Comme des Garcons x Air Jordan 11 Receives An Official Release Date

Ben Atkinson — Thu, 13 Aug 2026 17:56:59 +0000

The Comme des Garcons x Air Jordan 11 collection now has a confirmed release date. It’s set to drop September 10th for $250 per pair per zSneakerHeadz. This marks the first official collaboration the Air Jordan 11 has ever received.

Two colorways make up the release, one in all black and the other in all white. CDG swaps the model’s usual mesh for premium leather, giving the classic silhouette a sharper, more luxury finish. The move pushes the shoe further into high fashion territory without straying from its original shape.

Also Jumpman branding sits quietly on the collar of both pairs. “Comme des Garcons Homme Plus” lettering runs along the ankle instead of a traditional tongue tag, keeping the design tonal and understated throughout. Both pairs also introduce a patent leather midsole, a first for the Air Jordan 11.

The Air Jordan 11 has stayed almost entirely off-limits to outside collaborators since its 1995 debut. Even Nike’s own Doernbecher program, which has touched nearly every major Jordan model, never included the 11. That history alone makes this release stand out.

Jordan Brand has guarded the Air Jordan 11 more closely than almost any other model in its lineup. Releases have stayed limited to heritage colorways and tightly controlled new editions, with no outside names attached until now.

CDG earning this collaboration says a lot about how the brand is positioned within both sneaker and fashion circles. The label is known for stripped-back, monochrome design work, and that approach translates cleanly onto a silhouette this recognizable.

Stock is expected to be limited given the nature of the partnership. Dover Street Market is expected to carry the release, though wider distribution through Nike or Jordan Brand retailers hasn’t been confirmed.

For collectors, this release is very significant. It’s the first time in 30 years that anyone outside Jordan Brand has been trusted with the Air Jordan 11, making this pack significant regardless of personal taste.

Megan Thee Stallion Ignites Strong Reactions After Saying “Terrible” Music Keeps Going Viral

Alexander Cole — Thu, 13 Aug 2026 17:37:03 +0000

Megan Thee Stallion recently revealed that she has a new album on the way. ACT III is almost here, and her fans could not be more excited. It has been almost two years since her last release, and she has a lot to unpack.

A lot has gone down over these past few years, and there is plenty she could address in her music. Of course, many fans believe her breakup with Klay Thompson will serve as inspiration for the project.

That said, Megan Thee Stallion is now going viral online following an appearance on Michelle Obama and Craig Robinson’s IMO Podcast. At one point, Robinson asked Meg about how so many people can become famous now thanks to music.

It led to an interesting answer from Meg, who said there is a lot of terrible music out right now. She attributes this to the fact that the internet has made it easier than ever for someone to become a star.

Meg isn’t wrong about this. With the rise of TikTok and other discovery platforms, the most groundbreakingly awful songs can still move units. Unfortunately, for Meg, her haters got a hold of these comments and are now using them against her.

“Excuse us?! Meg…your music is TERRIBLE!! Nothing memorable,” one person wrote in the comments section of The Neighborhood Talk. “I mean her homegirl Cardi b is apart of the demographic,” said another. Various other comments echoed these sentiments, claiming that Meg is guilty of the phenomenon she’s talking about.

It’s hard to take these commenters seriously. Meg grinded to get where she is now. Sure, she has had some viral hits along the way, but most big artists do. Her dedicated fanbase proves that her success was earned.

I Just Wanna Know – Song by Nipsey Hussle & Bino Rideaux featuring Cardi B

Alexander Cole — Thu, 13 Aug 2026 17:12:38 +0000

Nipsey Hussle’s posthumous album Prolific is dropping with the help of Bino Rideaux on Friday. Overall, this is an album that fans have been excited about, especially given Nipsey’s penchant for quality raps. On Thursday, a day before the album’s release, we got the single “I Just Wanna Know” with Cardi B. It is a song that features some raunchy lyrics throughout. However, the laid-back West Coast production really does deliver some immaculate vibes. Meanwhile, all three artists deliver nice performances that gel together. It’s a cool track, and we’re eager to hear more from this project.

Release Date: August 13, 2026

Genre: Hip-Hop

Album: Prolific

Quotable Lyrics from I Just Wanna Know

Would you fuck in the back of the sprinter bus?
When you know you doing dirt, do you feel a rush?
Anything you never did that you really want
Pop it like you was a freak, is you really one?

Nipsey Hussle & Bino Rideaux “Prolific” Tracklist Revealed

Aron A. — Thu, 13 Aug 2026 17:10:38 +0000

It’s been over seven years since the death of Nipsey Hussle, and his estate has been rather careful with releasing new music. We’ve heard a few unreleased songs make their way onto the timeline–overdue collaborations with JAŸ-Z and Dr. Dre, unreleased verses with Wiz Khalifa and Big Sean, and more.

His partnership with Bino Rideaux, however, has been one that we never got to see grow to its fullest potential. Fortunately, their long-awaited collaborative project, PROLIFIC, will be seeing the light of day this week, and we finally got the project’s tracklist. Stacked with 15 songs in total, the album will include appearances from Cardi B and Ty Dolla $ign, who both appear on the previously released “I Just Wanna Know.” Additionally, it will also feature the late Static Major, James Fauntleroy, Buddy, Leon Thomas, and BH. Static appears on “Reckless,” while James Fauntleroy features on “Sacrifices,” and “All Summer” boasts an appearance from BH–each released over the past few months in anticipation of the upcoming project.

Nipsey and Bino Rideaux’s collaborative history dates back to 2017 at least, when they connected for their joint project, No Pressure. The project included a sole feature from Dave East and fan-favorite single, “Stucc In The Grind.” Surely, PROLIFIC will provide us with even more of their chemistry.

Marking the first posthumous album from Nipsey Hussle, PROLIFIC also helps launch an apparel line of the same name that his estate debuted. Heavyweight t-shirts, hoodies, crewnecks, and zip-ups largely make up the collection, which includes iconic photographs of Nip.

Keep your eyes peeled for this new album, which drops at midnight EST/ 9 p.m. PST. Are you excited for new music from Nipsey Hussle & Bino Rideaux? Let us know in the comments.

The Price Of Clarity – Song by Ransom

Alexander Cole — Thu, 13 Aug 2026 15:00:34 +0000

Ransom is gearing up to drop a new album called The Price Of Clarity, and on Wednesday, we seemingly got the intro to the album. Overall, this new drop sounds fantastic. His production shines as we get these maximalist flourishes. Meanwhile, Ransom’s talent as an MC truly shines through here. He has been in the game for a long time, and his artistry has only grown as he’s aged. We look forward to hearing the rest of the album and what the concept of the record will shape into. So far, we love what we’ve heard.

Don Toliver Houston Show Reportedly Ends Due To Alleged Gunman

Aron A. — Thu, 13 Aug 2026 14:31:41 +0000

2026 has undoubtedly been Don Toliver’s year. OCTANE became one of the best-selling albums of the year, and his accompanying tour has induced FOMO into anyone who couldn’t get tickets. Unfortunately for fans in his hometown of Houston, their experience got cut short. Per the Houston Chronicle, the show came to an end abruptly on Tuesday when a voice on the venue’s sound system told fans to leave the venue.

Atlantic Records said that the concert’s cancellation came “out of an abundance of caution for the safety of fans, the artist and event staff.” The label also confirmed that there is a police investigation, while Houston PD added that they’re actively working on an official response surrounding the show’s shutdown.

However, a report from All Hip-Hop alleged that the real reason the show shut down is that a lone gunman made their way into the show and Toyota Center. They report that the person somehow got a firearm through the metal detectors before he was arrested and brought to jail.

Don Toliver Show Ends In Houston With Confusion

Before the arrest, confusion spread across the Toyota Center when the venue’s lights went on and Don Toliver exited the stage, since it seemed as though he would’ve likely returned to wrap up the final three songs of his set. However, a voice reportedly echoed through the speaker, urging people to “sit the f*** down” because the show wasn’t over. Then, moments later, another voice was heard, stating, “Sorry for the inconvenience. The show is over. Please go the nearest exit. Exit safely. Thank you, and have a good night.”

That same night, Bun B and Houston City Council Member Edward Pollard honored the “ATM” rapper by declaring that August 11 was Don Toliver Day in the city of Houston.

Lean Walk – Song by UnoTheActivist

Alexander Cole — Thu, 13 Aug 2026 14:22:11 +0000

UnoTheActivist is known for making bangers that have a bit of an edge to them. That is especially the case on his latest single, “Lean Walk.” Overall, this track is defined by some hypnotic production that rattles around your headphones. It leaves you in a trance, all while UnoTheActivist comes through with syrupy vocals and lyrics. It is one of those songs that you can just kick it to, making it a nice addition to a playlist. If you’re a fan of the artist, this is a track worth checking out.

Release Date: August 11, 2026

Genre: Hip-Hop

His latest single, “Ferrari,” comes with some wavy production, as well as some melodic tropes that are going to take you by surprise. diamond*’s efficiency with every line is impressive.

Purple is my favorite color (Woo), I get happy whenever I pour up (Whenever I pour up)
