Drake Officially Releases “FOMO” In Its Entirety: Watch Here

Alexander Cole — Fri, 18 Sep 2026 12:29:31 +0000

Tuesday was a huge night for the hip-hop world as Drake came through with his new short film, “FOMO.” The film was released via livestream on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Music. However, once the stream ended, it became impossible to go back and watch the one-hour special.

This subsequently led to fans watching the livestream by piecing together clips on social media. Furthermore, there were some shifty screen recorders out there who were able to capture the entire stream on their hard drives.

On Thursday, Drake took back control of his art as he officially released the one-hour “FOMO” film on his YouTube channel. Below, you will find the original stream, which went largely untouched. The one major change is the absence of Ella Langley. During the “Choosin Texas” segment, Langley is no longer present. You can watch the short film below.

Drake Delivers “FOMO”

Throughout this livestream, Drake previewed lots of new music. For instance, we got to hear songs with Don Toliver and Yeat. There were plenty of other interesting tracks that were shown off throughout the film that will keep fans on their toes for the next few months.

The expectation is that a new album is on the horizon, especially with a tour coming in 2027. These new songs lend credence to such a theory, although at this time, Drake has yet to make anything official. For now, fans are simply optimistically speculating on what is to come. After the events of the past week, you really cannot blame them.

Let us know what you think of the “FOMO” short film in the comments section. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world.

Everything To Know About The Kobe Air Force 1 “Purple Stardust”

Ben Atkinson — Fri, 18 Sep 2026 12:10:26 +0000

Nike is adding another Kobe tribute to the Air Force 1 Low lineup. The “Black/Purple Stardust” colorway is set to release in October 1st 2026 for $120. The style code is IB0018-007.

The shoe pairs a black snakeskin-textured leather upper with purple accents throughout. Purple hits the interior lining, tongue, and outsole. Kobe’s signature Mamba sheath logo sits on the lateral heel and tongue tag, a detail fans have seen across several Kobe AF1 drops.

The heel tabs carry embroidered “8” and “24” numbering in purple. That detail nods to both numbers Kobe wore across his career. A white midsole rounds out the look, keeping the upper as the main focus and letting the purple pop without overwhelming the design.

This isn’t a standalone drop either. The AF1 releases alongside a matching Kobe AD Protro “Purple Stardust” and an Offcourt Slide in the same colorway. That Kobe AD Protro pair brings back a fan-favorite 2017 look, and we broke down that release in full here. All three are expected through Nike and select retailers.

Given the snakeskin texture and clean purple pop, this AF1 should move fast once it lands, especially among collectors already tracking the Protro release.

Nike has leaned heavily into Kobe-themed Air Force 1s in recent seasons. The silhouette has become a steady canvas for honoring his legacy outside the signature Protro line, and this colorway keeps that streak going.

Purple ties directly back to the Lakers, the team Kobe spent his entire career with. It’s a color combo that shows up often across his sneaker tributes for that reason, and it’s exactly why the original Kobe AD “Purple Stardust” became such a fan favorite back in 2017.

October is shaping up to be a loaded month for Nike overall. That’s also the date the Nike Mind 001 brings back three colorways in its latest restock, giving sneakerheads two very different Nike stories to track on the same morning.

At $120, the AF1 sits at an accessible price point for a Kobe release. That should help it move through retail before resale prices take over.

Luv Don’t Cost A Thang – Song by K2icyy

Tallie Spencer — Fri, 18 Sep 2026 07:04:00 +0000

K2icyy is turning online momentum into his latest release with “Luv Don’t Cost A Thang.” The Los Angeles rapper teased the record across social media ahead of its arrival, with the snippet pulling in more than 150,000 impressions and hundreds of comments across TikTok and Instagram. The response pushed K2icyy to capitalize on the attention surrounding the song and release the full-length version of the song. “Luv Don’t Cost A Thang” keeps the melodic approach K2icyy has been building on, while introducing a more explicit, grown-up edge to his music. It’s the kind of record that feels especially nostalgic considering the J.Lo sample. The early traction makes “Luv Don’t Cost A Thang” one of K2icyy’s more promising releases as he continues making his mark on L.A.’s music scene.

Genre: Hip-Hop/Rap
Release Date: September 15, 2026
Album: N/A

Quotable Lyrics

She get what she want don’t gotta say s**t
Hear it in your voice yo body shakin*
Love, sex, drugs, vibrations
My love don’t cost a (thang)

CYCLE – Song by FERG

Tallie Spencer — Fri, 18 Sep 2026 06:53:47 +0000

FERG is switching things up with his new single, “CYCLE,” and it might be one of the most unexpected records of his career. Rather than leaning into the hard-hitting Harlem sound fans typically associate with him, the rapper goes noticeably left field with a bright, playful track that feels closer to ‘90s pop than traditional FERG. “CYCLE” is fun, upbeat, and intentionally a little quirky, with FERG embracing a much lighter sound than listeners are used to hearing from him. The throwback feel gives the record plenty of personality, and hearing FERG experiment this far outside of his usual lane is part of what makes it interesting. It may catch longtime fans off guard at first, but “CYCLE” shows that he’s still willing to take risks more than a decade into his career.

Genre: Hip-Hop/Rap
Release Date: September 18, 2026
Song: CYCLE

Quotable Lyrics

Come meet me at cycle class
Come meet me at cycle class
Where the girls come work their a**
No lie I’m with some of the baddest
Can’t you see I’m having a blast?

THE GODBODY – Album by Rakim, Kurupt, & Masta Killa

Tallie Spencer — Fri, 18 Sep 2026 06:33:00 +0000

Three different corners of hip-hop history collide as Rakim, Kurupt, and Masta Killa join forces for THE GODBODY. The collaborative album connects Rakim’s golden-era legacy with Kurupt’s West Coast roots and Masta Killa’s Wu-Tang background. The trio already previewed the project with “DPG-Wu-Tang, Wu-Tang-DPG,” followed by “Rock Ya Body,” which brings Daz Dillinger, Ghostface Killah, and Raekwon into the mix.

The guest list only adds to the cross-generational feel, with Snoop Dogg, KRS-One, Kool G Rap, Kokane, Buckshot, and others appearing throughout the album. It’s rare to see this many veteran voices brought together on one project without it simply being a compilation. THE GODBODY instead feels like an intentional bridge between different regions and eras of rap.

Genre: Hip-Hop/Rap

Album: THE GODBODY

Something I Need – Offset

Tallie Spencer — Fri, 18 Sep 2026 06:17:00 +0000

Offset is back with his latest single, “Something I Need,” and he’s getting creative with the rollout. Ahead of the release, the Atlanta rapper launched “NEED FM,” a hotline where fans can call in with their relationship problems and potentially get advice from Offset himself. The concept arrives after a turbulent stretch in his personal life and appears to be setting up a more relationship-focused chapter of his music. The rollout is a smart way to turn the song’s title into something bigger than a standard single release. It also gives Offset an opportunity to show more personality outside of the usual music-video-and-snippet formula. After everything surrounding him over the last few years, a more personal direction could make for an interesting next phase of his solo career.

Genre: Hip-Hop/Rap
Release Date: September 18, 2026
Album: N/A

Quotable Lyrics

Ten bad b**ches on a boat
And they all call me the GOAT (Yeah)
Know I got bread like a loaf (Loaf)
Rich n**ga, baby, I ain’t broke (Rich n**ga)
Trench baby, we ain’t have no hope (Trench baby)

I Quit Rap – Album by Hunxho

Tallie Spencer — Fri, 18 Sep 2026 05:55:00 +0000

Despite its dramatic title, Hunxho isn’t actually walking away from music. Instead, the Atlanta rapper is back with I Quit Rap, a 20-track album that continues a particularly active stretch of his career. The project follows several 2026 singles, including “Change My Ways,” “Throw It,” and “I Love My Hoe,” all of which helped build toward the release. Hunxho has built much of his following by balancing street records with more vulnerable songs about love, pain, and relationships, and I Quit Rap appears to keep both sides in play. G Herbo and Hotboii are among the guests, while BabyDrill also appears on “Throw It.” Twenty songs is a lot of ground to cover, but for an artist whose appeal comes from letting listeners into his personal life, the longer runtime gives Hunxho plenty of room to do exactly that.

Genre: Hip-Hop/Rap
Release Date: September 18, 2026
Album: I Quit Rap

Tracklist for I Quit Rap

Ugly Speaks / Intro
Save Yo Summer & Yo Money
At War In Love
I Am Who I Am (feat. G Herbo)
Anemia Lover

MISS MY DAWG – Song by Yeat featuring Drake

Tallie Spencer — Fri, 18 Sep 2026 05:18:00 +0000

Yeat and Drake are back together on “MISS MY DAWG” one of the biggest surprises from Yeat’s new COCOON EP. The song marks their fourth official collaboration following “IDGAF,” “As We Speak,” and 2025’s “DOG HOUSE.” Fans actually got an early listen when Drake premiered the record in his FOMO short film earlier this week, just days before it landed on streaming. Despite its title, “MISS MY DAWG” isn’t entirely a somber record. Drake handles the chorus with a more reflective approach, touching on death, memories, and eventually having to say goodbye to people close to you. Yeat brings a much different energy to his verse, bouncing between women, money, drugs, and his usual flex-heavy bars before repeatedly returning to the idea of missing his people.

That contrast actually works in the song’s favor. Drake gives the record its emotional center, while Yeat keeps it from becoming too heavy. Four collaborations in, the two have clearly found a formula that allows their very different styles to meet somewhere in the middle.

Genre: Hip-Hop/Rap
Release Date: September 18, 2026
Album: COCOON

Quotable Lyrics

You’re gonna cry when I’m gonna die
‘Cause I went and made something of my life
One day, you’ll decide those tears had to dry
‘Cause times that we had, they’ll always survive
Light in the sky if you miss your dog

No Rest For The Wicked – Album by AZ Chike

Tallie Spencer — Fri, 18 Sep 2026 04:46:00 +0000

AZ Chike is stepping into a bigger spotlight with his new album, No Rest For The Wicked. The 14-track project follows the extra attention Chike received after appearing on Kendrick Lamar’s “peekaboo” from GNX. This time, he’s surrounded himself with an impressive group of collaborators, including Tyler, The Creator, JMSN, and production from Pharrell Williams, Terrace Martin, and Hit-Boy. Tyler appears twice, including on the previously released “Look Like My Mama,” while “The World Is Ours” also appears later in the project. With some of the West Coast’s biggest names now paying attention, No Rest For The Wicked feels like an important opportunity for Chike to turn his recent momentum into something more lasting. More than anything, the album gives him the space to prove that the attention surrounding his GNX appearance wasn’t just a moment.

Genre: Hip-Hop/Rap
Release Date: September 18, 2026
Album: No Rest For The Wicked

COCOON – EP by Yeat

Tallie Spencer — Fri, 18 Sep 2026 04:19:00 +0000

Yeat is giving fans his eighth official EP, COCOON. It’s a seven-track EP that arrives while he’s still on the road for his LOVE/LYFE Tour. The rapper originally described the release as a five-song pack made while touring, but continued expanding it before release night. The biggest surprise comes from Drake, who joins Yeat on “miss my dawg,” marking another collaboration between the two after records including “IDGAF” and “As We Speak. At only seven songs, COCOON looks built to be a quick addition to Yeat’s already packed catalog. The project also keeps his momentum moving after releasing “ON NOTHING” earlier this month. Yeat’s willingness to drop music this freely has become part of his appeal, and COCOON gives fans another snapshot of where his sound is right now.
