However, in honor of the record, he returned with its sequel this week titled “Nightmares To Dreams.” In most cases, sequels often can’t compare to the original and maybe that’s true with “Nightmares To Dreams,” but that doesn’t mean Meek disappointed. The song flips the production and modernizes it without quelling its intensity. Fans quickly praised the rapper for coming through on his latest record–his second of 2026.

“He is one of the greatest we’ve ever seen,” one fan wrote on X. 

The thing is that Meek’s skills haven’t really been questioned but rather, his online antics and the persona he’s created. One user on X summarized this perfectly, writing, “all the dumb shit this n***a be doin makes me forget how hard the music is.” Another echoed a similar sentiment: “Say WHATEVER y’all want but this n***a can RAP.”

Meek Mill Readies New Music

The “Nightmares To Dreams” release comes shortly after he joined Surf7 on the remix of “Goose Coat (Remix).” Presumably, this is the beginning of what will hopefully be a bigger rollout for a new album, especially since we’re approaching the five-year mark since he dropped Expensive Pain. How do you feel about Meek’s latest release? Do you think his next album will be his best yet? Sound off in the comments with your thoughts.

In a social media clip caught by DJ Akademiks on Instagram, Rock claimed investigators questioned her and told her she isn’t a suspect in the case. Earlier this week, reports emerged that the investigation is still active, and no arrests, suspects, or persons of interest have been announced or publicly identified at press time.

“They talking about Karon, open investigation… That got nothing to do with me,” Chrisean expressed. “His death has nothing to do with me. Yes, he made my life about him because he needed money. He was desperate. He was high, he was on percs, he was on molly, he was on lean, he was drinking. Where was his parents [and] his family then? Nobody was holding Karon accountable, falsely claiming my son while high as f**k… Nobody was trying to save Karon before he died… You act like y’all wasn’t trafficking the drugs through his basement, which was his grandma and his mom’s basement. Y’all keep trying to put this narrative out and then I keep being quiet. Because I low-key love Karon.”

Chrisean Rock Speaks On Ronny Doe

From there, Chrisean Rock said she respects Ronny Doe’s family but blasted the alleged obfuscation in the case. She claimed investigators spoke to her at a gym and claimed they know she didn’t kill him, and she urged them to find the true culprit. Rock also said folks dragging her into controversy is “getting on her nerves,” blasting trolls for levying these accusations against her. She said folks never asked her about how she felt about Karon’s passing, claiming he was mistreating her before his death.

Ronny Doe claimed he fathered Chrisean Rock’s child with Blueface, which got him a lot of notoriety. Following his saddening death, Rock clashed with her sister over the situation, as Tesehki insinuated she had something to do with it. Chrisean denied the accusations.

In a clip caught by NBA Hoops on Twitter, Ak read an old story about the Atlanta artist allegedly running into gang members at an airport. For those unaware, Wack had made these allegations back in 2022, claiming he and Henley chased Fewtch at the LAX airport in Los Angeles because he owed Trick Trick money.

This was allegedly while Hendrix was with Ciara. He and his camp, including Doe Boy, denied the claims back then, and even U denied the allegations and blasted the executive for making these allegations.

Now, though, this alleged situation might reemerge during Big U’s trial. In court documents, as seen by Akademiks, there are accusations that in or around 2014, Henley and his associates committed violence against an unspecified individual and their affiliates (including security) for refusing to pay, ceasing to answer U’s phone calls, and not paying respect via payment. The documents also allege Henley “stomped out” the individual and chased him through the Los Angeles International Airport days later along with a “co-conspirator.”

Ak assumed the individual was the Freebandz boss and that the co-conspirator was Wack 100 via context clues and Wack’s previous allegations. But none of this has been explicitly confirmed at press time.

What Are Big U’s Charges?

For those unaware, the new charges against Big U add onto previous allegations of murder, extortion, robbery, wire fraud, and human trafficking. They consist of two counts of soliciting to commit a violent crime, two counts of witness tampering, two counts of wire fraud, and one count of transportation conspiracy for the purposes of prostitution.

With trial set for February of this year, he faces accusations of arranging to murder a witness. But these allegations concerning Wack 100 and Future are a smaller part of the overall case. It’s important to note Wack is not a defendant in Henley’s case.

These are still just mockups for now. No official images have surfaced from Jordan Brand yet. Leaks come from Sneaker Files and @zSneakerHeadz. Both point to the same concept and color story.

The inspiration behind this one is unexpected. It draws from Paperboy, the bicycle-based arcade game by Atari Games. That game released back in 1985. Players guided a newspaper carrier through neighborhoods on a bike.

That premise lines up perfectly with Sylvester’s own identity. He’s built his entire career around BMX culture. Jordan Brand has also embraced that connection through his “Bike Air” branding. It’s appeared across his past collaborations already.

Finally, the Air Jordan 6 is celebrating its 35th anniversary in 2026. Adding Sylvester’s touch gives that milestone stretch even more momentum. Overall it’s a fitting way to keep the celebration rolling into 2027.

Nigel Sylvester x Air Jordan 6 “Paperboy”

Color-wise, blue dominates the design. That choice comes straight from the game’s original artwork. The Paperboy character is riding in a blue jacket. Further his bicycle carries that same bold blue color scheme.

Early mock-ups show a mostly blue upper throughout. White appears on the midsole and rubber outsole for contrast. A small Swoosh also sits near the toe, echoing the AJ6’s earliest design. “Bike Air” branding returns on the heel again.

This wouldn’t be Sylvester’s first standout Jordan release either. His collaborations run all the way back to 2009. The Air Jordan 1 Low OG and brick-inspired Air Jordan 4 both found major success. Fans have come to expect strong storytelling from every drop.

If these leaks hold up, the Paperboy Jordan 6 continues that pattern. It also adds a new chapter to Sylvester’s growing Jordan collab sequence. Pricing is around $230, in line with past releases. For now, sneakerheads will just have to wait for official confirmation.
