Slayr remains one of the best underground artists out right now. Overall, the artist takes a more melodic approach to rage rap, which has allowed his projects to be more accessible. With that being said, Slayr has kept his foot on the gas throughout 2026. Case in point, we have the “1AM FREESTYLE.” This is part of SoundCloud’s “THE BOOTH” series. Once again, Slayr puts in a solid performance here as he melodically croons over a crushing instrumental. His sound continues to be refined, and even in freestyle environments, he finds a way to thrive.

Release Date: June 2, 2026

Genre: Underground Rap

Album: N/A

Quotable Lyrics from 1AM FREESTYLE

Pop a big pot, can’t get weaker
Big chop, I’m a leaker

Plot Twist Freestyle – Song by Lucki https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/997188-plot-twist-freestyle-lucki Wed, 03 Jun 2026 12:20:21 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=997188 Lucki has decided to give his take on the new Drake song, "Plot Twist," which is a highlight off his album, "ICEMAN."

The post Plot Twist Freestyle – Song by Lucki appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

Drake’s ICEMAN album has inspired some dope freestyles as of late. Yesterday, we reported on Conway The Machine giving his rendition of “Make Them Pay.” On the same day, Lucki dropped his very own version of “Plot Twist.” “Plot Twist” has one of the most sinister beats on the album, and Lucki certainly does it justice with his signature flow. In fact, Lucki dropped his album Dr**s R Bad on the same day as ICEMAN. This gives him a spiritual connection with Drake, and it only makes sense that he would contribute this freestyle. If you are a Lucki fan, this is going to be a must-listen.

Release Date: June 2, 2026

Genre: Hip-Hop

Album: N/A

Quotable Lyrics from Plot Twist Freestyle

How an insecure ho get this litty?
She got options but she still a pick-me
My youngins want me in the city
I’m fundin’ the violence like Zuese and Limmy, huh

Air Jordan 3 “White Cement” Release Date Gets Delayed Again https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/997183-air-jordan-3-white-cement-sneaker-news-3 Wed, 03 Jun 2026 11:15:00 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=997183 The Air Jordan 3 "White Cement" has been pushed back from its original spring 2027 window to summer, according to the latest info.

The post Air Jordan 3 “White Cement” Release Date Gets Delayed Again appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

The Air Jordan 3 “White Cement” has had its release date pushed back. The shoe was previously slated for spring 2027 but has since moved to summer 2027, per zSneakerHeadz. Release date adjustments like this are not uncommon for high-profile retros on the Jordan Brand calendar.

The “White Cement” is one of the more recognizable colorways in the Air Jordan 3 lineup. It features a white tumbled leather upper with grey elephant print overlays, red accents, and a Nike Air logo on the heel.

The colorway has a long history with the silhouette and has been retroed multiple times over the years. This upcoming version appears to restore the Nike Air branding on the heel, which has been a point of interest among collectors following previous retros.

Images have been circulating for a while, so the shoe is clearly well into its production timeline. The delay shifts the expected release from a spring window to a summer one, which is a relatively modest change in terms of overall timing. Collectors who had been tracking the original spring date will need to adjust their expectations accordingly.

The “White Cement” remains one of the most anticipated Jordan Brand releases on the 2027 calendar regardless of the window. The updated summer timeline gives a clearer picture of when to expect it.

The Air Jordan 3 “White Cement” holds a specific place in Jordan Brand history. The original version released in 1988 and marked a turning point for the Air Jordan line.

It was the first Jordan to feature visible Air cushioning and the first to include the Jumpman logo. Those details have contributed to the shoe’s lasting significance among sneaker collectors.

The Nike Air heel branding visible in the official images connects this retro to earlier versions of the shoe that carried that detail before it was removed in more recent releases. That restoration has been a consistent topic of discussion in the lead-up to this drop.

The grey elephant print overlays and red accent detailing remain consistent with the original design. The summer 2027 window gives Jordan Brand additional time before the shoe reaches retail.

Bianca Censori was photographed leaving Melbourne this week carrying what appears to be an oversized Hermes Birkin bag. Further estimates put the value of the bag at up to $50,000.

The photos circulated quickly across fashion and celebrity accounts online. Check them out here.

The bag is a large black leather Birkin with gold hardware. She paired it with an oversized coat, silver heels, and slim rectangular sunglasses for the airport outing. The Birkin stood out as the most talked-about element of the look once the photos started spreading.

Birkin bags are widely considered among the most exclusive handbags in the world. They are notoriously difficult to obtain and tend to hold their value well over time. The oversized format is a less common configuration, which added to the attention the photos generated online. Spotting one in a candid airport setting tends to get people talking regardless of who is carrying it.

Censori has become a regular fixture in celebrity fashion coverage over the past couple of years. Her public appearances tend to generate significant online discussion around her outfit choices.

This Melbourne sighting follows that pattern. The Birkin bag became the central talking point once the images from the airport started making the rounds on social media.

The Birkin bag has carried significant cultural weight in the luxury space for decades. Most people recognize the name even without a background in fashion.

Also part of what gives the Birkin its reputation is how hard it is to acquire one through normal means. The process of obtaining a Birkin is widely discussed in luxury circles and contributes heavily to the bag’s status.

The oversized version seen in these photos is less common. Black leather with gold hardware is also one of the more traditional Birkin configurations and has remained consistent.

Censori has been photographed with high-end accessories before, but the scale and value of this particular bag made this airport sighting stand out from her recent appearances.

Cassie Has Moved Out Of The U.S. After $20 Mil Diddy Settlement https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/997174-cassie-ventura-diddy-move Wed, 03 Jun 2026 01:02:13 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=997174 New court documents revealed that Cassie Ventura does not plan on returning to the United States anytime soon.

It’s been a harrowing ordeal for Cassie Ventura throughout her career, but these last few years have been devastating. After spending more than a decade in a relationship with Sean “Diddy” Combs, Ventura became central in a legal and cultural reckoning that transformed how the music industry viewed one of its most powerful executives. Her 2023 lawsuit accused Combs of years of abuse and control, allegations that were settled within 24 hours for a reported $20 million, but ultimately opened the door for dozens of additional claims against the Bad Boy founder.

Months later, the release of hotel surveillance footage showing Combs physically assaulting Ventura gave the public a disturbing confirmation of behavior she had described in court filings. Since then, Ventura has largely remained focused on rebuilding her life away from the spotlight. She married personal trainer Alex Fine in 2019 and has continued raising their growing family while navigating the aftermath of a highly publicized legal battle.

Cassie & Her Family Relocate

Her testimony during Combs’ criminal proceedings offered further insight into the emotional toll of the relationship, forcing her to revisit some of the most painful moments of her life in a public setting. Now, TMZ reports that Ventura has relocated outside the United States following her reported settlement payout. The outlet claims to have obtained court documents related to a lawsuit involving Cassie and Clayton Howard, a male escort.

“I reside outside of the United States. I do not intend to move back to the United States,” the filing read. Additionally, it states she said, “I am a citizen of the United States. I am not a resident of the State of California.” Her location was not revealed, but TMZ reports that she requested to attend court in New York, where her legal team is based, rather than return to California.

Meanwhile, Howard sued Cassie, alleging that he impregnated her, that she hired him for Diddy’s “freak offs,” and that she gave him an STD. However, Cassie claims that after her lawsuit against Diddy was filed in 2023, Howard sent her husband a supportive message. The case is ongoing.

The APB x Air Jordan 11 Low “Binary Blue” has surfaced on foot, and it is turning heads across the sneaker community. Early on-foot photos give the best look yet at what APB and Jordan Brand have put together here. The colorway is rich, the details are sharp, and the execution looks strong from every angle. This one has serious collab energy from the jump.

A deep navy patent leather mudguard dominates the base and sets the tone immediately. The upper carries that same dark navy throughout, giving the shoe a premium, almost formal feel.

Rose gold piping traces the mudguard edge cleanly and adds just enough contrast to break up the blue. The icy blue translucent outsole underneath ties the whole build back to classic AJ11 DNA.

APB has been building credibility in the collab space steadily, and this release feels like a step up in terms of design sophistication. The color combination here is not one you see often on the AJ11 Low silhouette. Navy and rose gold is a pairing that feels elevated without trying too hard. Jordan Brand picked a strong partner for this one.

On foot, the “Binary Blue” looks even better than the early renders suggested. This is going to be a tough one to sleep on.

The AJ11 Low is one of the more versatile silhouettes in the Jordan Brand catalog. It carries all the premium feel of the high version without the bulk, which makes it a natural fit for a dressed-up colorway like this one.

The navy patent leather is the defining element of the shoe, and it catches light in a way that makes the collab feel luxurious. Rose gold is a detail choice that could have easily gone wrong on a Jordan silhouette, but APB threaded the needle well.

The text on the ankle strap is the kind of detail that rewards people who look close. It also signals that APB had real creative input rather than just lending their name. The icy outsole underneath connects everything back to the original AJ11 heritage in a way that feels intentional.

Dame Dash Says He Is “Embarrassed” For Jay-Z, Criticizes His Hair https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/997159-dame-dash-jay-z-roots-picnic Wed, 03 Jun 2026 00:14:03 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=997159 If there's one thing that Dame Dash is going to do, is give his hot takes about Jay-Z. This time, it's all about Hov's recent Roots Picnic takeover.

The post Dame Dash Says He Is “Embarrassed” For Jay-Z, Criticizes His Hair appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
They used to be thick as thieves, but these days, Dame Dash and Jay-Z aren’t on the same page. Their relationship dates back to the 1990s, when Dame, Jay, and Kareem “Biggs” Burke joined forces to launch Roc-A-Fella Records. It’s a label that would become one of the most influential brands in Hip Hop history. While Jay-Z emerged as the label’s superstar, Dash became its outspoken business architect, helping to build Roc-A-Fella into an enterprise that extended beyond music.

For years, the pair appeared inseparable, representing a rare example of Black ownership and ambition at the highest levels of the entertainment industry. Together, they helped redefine what success could look like for rappers at a time when few artists had meaningful control over their careers. These days, it seems the two can’t stand one another, and Dame hasn’t let up in his criticisms. Things only intensified following Jay-Z’s recent Roots Picnic performance, where he took a few lyrical shots at those who have continued to criticize him over the years…including Dame.

Dame Dash Calls Out Jay-Z’s New Look

In a strange take, Dame told The Art of Dialogue that he feels “embarrassed” for Jay, for having to perform at his age, “’cause he has to.” Considering Jay-Z is billionarie status, it’s a unique perspective.

“I would have preferred the version of Jay that would have said something clever,” Dame began. “And that’s not the version of Jay that I would have ever signed. I felt bad because I was like, it must be embarrassing for him to now have to be on that stage, not the same version of himself, and still have to work at that age, ’cause he has to.”

Dash added that Hov has been “retiring since Reasonable Doubt,” doubling down that “for him to have to come out 20 years later, I just felt kinda like, embarrassed for him a little bit.” Elsewhere, Dame also criticized Jay’s afro after combing out his locs. He says people should make jokes about Jay’s hairstyle and question him about that look.

Unsurprisingly, the public pushed back at Dame’s remarks. Check out the clip of Dame Dash chatting about Jay-Z’s Roots Picnic appearance below.

The post Steph Curry Officially Joins Chinese Sneaker Brand Li-Ning appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Stephen Curry’s sneaker free agency is officially over. The Golden State Warriors star signed a landmark 10-year endorsement contract with Chinese sportswear company Li-Ning.

The deal sends Curry Brand to one of the biggest sportswear companies in the world. It is one of the most significant sneaker signings in basketball history, and the implications stretch well beyond the court.

The partnership reportedly comes in at over $400 million, covering basketball products, athleisure, a full golf line, and the ability for Curry to sign other athletes under his brand. That last piece is especially important. It signals that Curry Brand is thinking bigger than just shoes. This is a full platform play with real infrastructure behind it.

One factor in Curry’s decision was his comfort testing Li-Ning shoes worn by teammates Jimmy Butler and Dwyane Wade during the recruitment process. He also turned down at least one offer that paid more money. Li-Ning plans to build Curry Brand stores in both the United States and China.

Curry and Under Armour parted ways in November after a 13-year partnership, with Curry Brand moving to operate independently. The split opened the door to one of the most closely watched recruitment processes the sneaker industry has seen in years. Li-Ning won the sweepstakes, and it is a massive get for the brand.

Steph Curry Signs To Li Ning

The Li-Ning deal represents a major shift in the global sneaker landscape. Li-Ning was founded in 1990 by a former Chinese Olympic gold medalist who named the company after himself.

The brand has been building serious momentum in the basketball space for years. Signing Curry takes that ambition to a completely new level. The deal is the latest example of Chinese sportswear brands pursuing top international figures, and landing the greatest shooter in NBA history is the biggest move yet.

Curry’s global appeal, particularly in China, makes the partnership feel genuinely natural rather than purely financial. The golf line addition is also notable, given how seriously Curry takes the sport. Curry himself called it “the partnership of a lifetime,” which says everything about how he views this next chapter for his brand.

Those Mount Rushmore conversations in Hip Hop always get tongues wagging. Whenever possible, top-selling artists are often asked about their favorites, and Tyler, the Creator is in the hot seat. Recently, he sat down with DJ Drama for his Gangsta Grillz podcast, where the California superstar was asked to name off his favorites, and he dropped off names and albums that are heavily in his rotation.

Drama wanted to know who the IGOR hitmaker had on his list. After taking a heavy sigh, Tyler listed off his favorites. “Pharrell, Erykah Badu, Jamiroquai, Mr. Steven Wonder…” he said. He paused to check to make sure there were only four people on Mt. Rushmore. Then, Tyler continued, and this time, with his favorite rappers.

“Eminem, AndrĂ© [3000], Pusha T, Shawn Carter, Mr. Dwayne Carter, and [Pharrell],” the rapper added. Before you get comfortable thinking that’s all, Tyler continued with his favorite albums. He listed N.E.R.D.’s In Search Of…, Em’s Marshall Mathers LP, Clipse’s Hell Hath No Fury, Badu’s Mama’s Gun, the late D’Angelo’s Voodoo, and ZhanĂ©’s self-titled record.

Quickly, fans began debating Tyler’s choices, especially because Mt. Rushmore lists often look similar. Notably, many were surprised that the regular favorites weren’t mentioned, including Jay-Z, Tupac Shakur, and the Notorious B.I.G. Those icons have been staples in conversations like these, but it’s clear that as generations move forward, so do Rushmore choices.

For much of the past year, A$AP Rocky has had plenty to celebrate. Last year, the Harlem rapper emerged from a highly publicized felony assault trial with an acquittal, continued to expand his business ventures, and remained firmly planted in one of entertainment’s most dissected relationships with Rihanna. Yet, behind the headlines and red carpet appearances, Rocky recently revealed that a frightening incident involving his family left a lasting mark on him.

Speaking with VIBE, Rocky reflected on a threat targeting him and his loved ones, after a woman reportedly fired off shots at his and Rihanna’s home back in March. The couple was said to be home with their children at the time. While they haven’t spoken in detail about the harrowing ordeal, Rocky gave insight into how he felt about the altercation during his chat with VIBE.

The Shooting Has Kept Rocky And Rihanna On Alert

The conversation also highlighted Rocky’s enduring connection to New York City. It’s a place he described as a place of energy and freedom. As he reflected on the simple act of stepping outside and moving through the world without fear, the contrast between that feeling and the anxiety created by the shooting incident became clear.

“It was fucked up,” the rapper said. “Somebody attempted at [harming] me and my family… It took away a lot of peace and happiness of being able to just be free. I don’t want to be robbed of my peace and joy.” Rocky’s comments come months after authorities accused Ivanna Lisette Ortiz of firing multiple shots with an AR-15. Fortunately, no injuries were reported. Meanwhile, Ortiz has pleaded not guilty to a series of felony charges, including attempted murder, and remains awaiting trial.
