Quotable Lyrics for For Sixxx In The Mornin

I once wondered what it was like to be a mango
Being stripped, being gripped, and dripping in juice shamelessly
Until you split my body down the middle using nothing but your tongue
Gemini, Gemini, what have you done?

Quotable Lyrics from BURN

I keep on slippin’, tryna help the folks I care about and put them in positions
I done dealt with all they selfish ways, still changed the life they livin’
I made decisions, went against myself and chose to keep on givin’

The Sixers are one of the favorites to win the NBA title and for good reason. They have a ton of pieces, including former MVP, Joel Embiid. However, there is certainly some skepticism about how everyone will mesh together.

One of their rivals out West will be the Minnesota Timberwolves, who have the talent of Anthony Edwards. In fact, in a recent ad for Adidas, Edwards took some shots at both Brown and LeBron.

During a livestream, Brown decided to clap back at Edwards in hilarious fashion. His comments even allude to some of the paternity issues that Edwards has had in recent years.

Jaylen Brown Clowns Anthony Edwards

“Adidas doing anything for my boy, you need to give my boy some condoms,” Brown said. This clip led to tons of laughs on the stream, and it is very easy to see why. While some may feel like this would embarrass Edwards, we have a feeling he would actually find it to be pretty damn funny.

With the NBA season just a few days away, it appears clear that some of the players are already in midseason form when it comes to their personalities.

As for the Philadelphia 76ers, we are interested in seeing how that experiment works out. LeBron with Brown and Embiid has the potential to be an all-time team. Not to mention, this could be LeBron’s last chance to get that championship.

Furthermore, HABIBTI was a project that was largely overlooked by the general public. By releasing four new tracks, Drake was able to get a bit more attention on his R&B project. This also helped boost sales, as we have seen from the first week’s sales projections.

Early projections had this album selling upwards of $65K in the first week. However, it appears as though the album is doing even better than that. New reporting from DJ Akademiks reveals this project will actually sell 70.5K units. Moreover, it will land at second on the Billboard 200 album chart.

Drake Delivers The Heat With FOMO

All things considered, this is a pretty incredible achievement by Drake. He continues to show the hip-hop world that he is carrying the mainstream on his back. In a world where artists like Quavo can only do 13K units on a project produced by Pharrell, Drake is selling 70K off four songs.

Ultimately, one has to wonder what the future of mainstream hip-hop will look like, especially with these recent sales figures. While Drake’s numbers are still good, they aren’t what they once were.

Country music and pop have completely taken over. This has created a tough situation for hip-hop, especially as record labels divest.

Let us know how you feel about these new Drake songs, in the comments below.

This is a proper return. Navy leather covers the upper, with a white mudguard and those blue accents. The classic stitched lines across the sides are all intact.

The shape matters here too. The 2012 retro got mixed reactions because it didn’t quite match the original build. This version reportedly sticks closer to the 1997 look, which should please purists.

Full family sizing is expected, so everyone can grab a pair. Adults cost $215, and grade school pairs are around $155. Look for it on Nike.com, SNKRS, and select Jordan Brand retailers. The style code is CT8013-401.

January is usually a quiet month for big releases. A navy and white OG like this gives it a strong start. It also lands just ahead of the colorway’s 30th anniversary in February.

Now, fans who missed the 2012 pair finally get a second shot. With a 15-year gap, expect pretty big demand on release day. The pair has never been a loud shoe, and that’s part of its appeal.

Air Jordan 12 “Obsidian”

The “Obsidian” isn’t tied to a famous Michael Jordan moment. He never wore it in an NBA game, which makes it rare among the original 12s. It still became a fan favorite on looks alone.

The Air Jordan 12 launched in 1997 with only five original colorways. “Flu Game,” “Taxi,” “Cherry,” and “Playoffs” have the bigger stories, but this one skipped the Bulls palette entirely.

Tinker Hatfield designed the 12, drawing stitched lines inspired by the rising sun. It was also the first Air Jordan with a full-length Zoom Air unit.

The navy and blue palette gives it a calm look that works in any season. It goes with jeans, sweats, or a suit. Overall, that’s a pretty big reason it has lasted so long.

Yesterday, 50 Cent made an appearance on TODAY with Jenna & Sheinelle where he was looking to promote Street Fighter. However, the conversation quickly became about Diddy and where their relationship stands.

At one point, Fif was asked if he would ever reconcile with the music mogul. This led to an airtight answer.

“No, not with him,” Fif said matter of factly.

50 Cent Talks Diddy

From there, 50 Cent spoke on the report that Diddy was actually watching Sean Combs: The Reckoning from a tablet in prison. This was part of the report that showcased how the mogul allegedly had all sorts of contraband in his prison cell. 50 Cent was quite flattered by all of it.

“I didn’t expect him to have a jailbroken tablet that was contraband in the actual facility, but he got a chance to see it and you know look it it’s great,” he said. “I felt like it was the best documentary that went out on them. It was fair.”

Needless to say, if you ever expected 50 Cent and Diddy to patch things up, then you are sorely mistaken. These two do not like each other one bit, and that is not going to change anytime soon.

First, we talked about hip-hop Grammy submissions in 2026, reacting to a Billboard article that questioned the genre’s presence this year due to the absence of Kendrick Lamar and Drake. Aron and I found this to be a reductive view, one that tries to absolve the Recording Academy of missing huge rap moments like Playboi Carti’s MUSIC. Although we acknowledged that breaking into superstardom is tougher than ever, the Grammys should be focused on the quality we continue to get in new hip-hop, not its “narratives” for the general public.

Speaking of awards shows, Aron and I discussed the new fan-voted Soul Train Music Awards categories, specifically the R&B/Soul Song of the Year. We talked about how the category features a few tracks many wouldn’t categorize as R&B or soul, commenting on how much R&B has changed and the difficulty of balancing innovation, tradition, and authenticity when it comes to genre categorizations.

Later, Aron and I lamented how ComplexCon was filled with conflict, referencing the LUCKI situation and Kai Cenat’s Reggie drama as two very serious situations that became public spectacles for one reason or another. Whether it was a fight between BigLoaaf and Madi2Hotty or the overall tense nature of some interactions, we talked about streamer culture rewarding controversy.

HNHH Live

Elsewhere, Aron was quick to point out how the Ice Cube beef with Dejon Paul online devolved way quicker and more seriously than it probably should’ve. Their clash online opened up renewed debates about what it means to be a hip-hop journalist today, Los Angeles’ torch-carrying hip-hop traditions, and the expectations of aging artists.

To celebrate the spooky season, Aron and I looked back on the term “horrorcore” and its varied, vast rap history, from Geto Boys to billy woods’ 2025 album. As you can see with those examples, it’s a broad spectrum. We discussed how the sub-genre’s content traditions and aesthetics have evolved, arguing it can be more of a catch-all term these days rather than a firm sound of its own.

As for new music this week, Aron was a fan of Offset and Don Toliver’s “Every Night” single. On the other hand, I shouted out Ovrkast. for his new album STRIKING. We also mentioned new drops from Cardi B, Tobe Nwigwe, Gunna, Vince Staples, Che Noir, and more.

Finally, for our “On The Come-Up” segment, we shouted out Shavone and Fergie Baby’s latest releases. You should check those out along with the new “Bingo” single from PaxSlim and the new Dulbi EP from Sid Spada.

Let us know what you think of all these topics, and stay posted on HNHH to rate new songs and albums and enjoy our news and feature coverage.

It’s a tribute pair, not an official team collab. You won’t find a school logo or any Hoya branding on it. The colors do all the talking.

Grey suede covers the toe, sides, and heel, so most of the shoe is that soft grey. Navy shows up on the eyelets, Jumpman logos, heel tabs, and parts of the outsole. The plastic wings stay a lighter grey, so they blend in instead of popping.

Further down below, the midsole has some speckled detail, and white wraps around the visible Air unit. The outsole mixes see-through grey with navy rubber.

The look is inspired by the player exclusives Georgetown has worn on court. Those pairs were never sold to the public, but this one will be. The retail version also swaps in Nike Air branding on the heel.

Pairs should be available through Nike.com and select Jordan Brand retailers. The style code is FV5029-004, and full-family sizing is reportedly planned. February is a long way away, but this one is already worth marking down.

Air Jordan 4 “Georgetown”

Georgetown has a special place in Michael Jordan’s story. His game-winning shot against the Hoyas in the 1982 NCAA championship game helped launch his legend.

Later, Georgetown is part of the Jordan Brand family. Jordan Brand took over the team’s gear in the 2010s, and the school’s players have worn plenty of Jordans since.

That relationship has led to a long list of Georgetown-inspired releases. Past pairs have included versions of the Air Jordan 1, Air Jordan 3, and Air Jordan 6. The Air Jordan 4 hasn’t had a dedicated one in a while.

Grey and navy is a good fit for the Air Jordan 4. It’s a clean, easy pair that works with almost any outfit. With a $220 price and a general release, this one should be easy to chase down. Overall its a nice option for anyone who wants a good-looking pair of 4s without a collab price tag.

This is the first “Utility” version of the Air Jordan 3. It joins earlier takes on the Air Jordan 1 and Air Jordan 12.

The colorway is a straight black and red mix. Black leather covers most of the shoe, and darker elephant print sits on the toe and heel. Red laces give it the only big pop of color.

There’s some texture around the eyestay and collar too. It gives the pair a tougher feel without changing the basic shape. In the photos, it looks a lot like a normal Air Jordan 3 at first glance.

Earlier reports pointed to more rugged details, including bungee-style laces, a toggle lace lock, and a pull tab on the heel. The new photos don’t make those features clear. Keep an eye out for more images to confirm what’s real.

The shoe is a men’s release, and it should be available through Nike.com and select Jordan Brand retailers. That probably includes spots like Foot Locker, Finish Line, and Hibbett. The style code is IX0198-001.

Air Jordan 3 “Utility”

The Air Jordan 3 is one of the most important Jordans ever made. Tinker Hatfield designed it in 1988, and it introduced the Jumpman logo and the first visible Air unit. It’s also home to the elephant print that fans know so well.

A “Utility” version fits the model well. Black leather and darker details make the shoe feel simple and wearable. It’s a good pick for colder months, when darker colors tend to take over.

The January datemakes this one of the first Jordan drops of 2027, and it follows a busy holiday season filled with Space Jam releases. After that run, a plain black and red pair could be a nice change of pace.

Jordan Brand has been mixing flashy collabs with simple general releases lately. This pair is clearly in the second group. If you want a clean Air Jordan 3 without the hype, this might be the one.
