While it’s proving to be a timeless record, we have to imagine that many fans are ready for her next era. Well, it sounds like she’s been hard at work making magic once again thanks to a new interview with i-D Magazine.

It sounds like what’s driving her is A.I. and proving that it can’t create art on the level a human can. “I’m not up against the pop girls… not up against the R&B girls. I’m up against anti-intellectualism and doing things easy. The type of blend of information my human experience provides, AI can’t even be prompted to f*ck with. I want to just let this angst drive me into bizzare directions,” the Missouri native said.

She adds, “I’m trying to just open my brain and open my heart, channeling awesome humanity sh*t right now. Humanity is my ‘why’—preservation of what’s left, extreme expression of what is, and a desperate plea. I feel insufferably human right now.”

But that wasn’t the only interesting portion of this sit-down. During her recording sessions for this third solo album, fellow singer and songwriter Steve Lacy was present for some of them. In fact, there was enough moments shared that they were able to make “a random little project together,” says SZA.

How Many Grammys Did SZA Win This Year?

Hilariously, fans aren’t getting their hopes up, even predicting it will never see the light of day. “She know she lying,” one pessimistic person says on X. “She evil for saying this knowing damn well it’ll never drop,” another echoes.

But time will always tell, so we will just have to keep our eyes peeled. Interestingly, these supposed recordings are SZA and Steve Lacy’s first together. The latter has worked with other TDE affiliates, namely Kendrick Lamar and Isaiah Rashad.

We have to imagine this tape would sound great as Lacy and SZA both have some stylistic similarities. Hopefully, we get our hands on it at some point.

If it dropped this year it would add onto what’s already been a successful 2026. At the 68th Grammys, the “Broken Clocks” superstar added two more golden gramophones to her trophy case. She won in the Best Melodic Rap Performance and Record Of The Year categories with her and K. Dot’s smash “luther.” Her total is now up to seven Grammys and if either one of these albums release, we are sure more awards will be coming her way.

They were steadfast that they would remain relevant, but Ebro didn’t have much faith. “Alright, we gon’ see… And guess what? I’m gon’ be here.”

Well, fast forward to now and Lil Uzi Vert is still doing their thing and buzzing on the charts after signing a new record deal. Some would argue the quality has dipped to an extent, but for the most part, they are very much still here.

Their fans are reminding Ebro of that today, which just so happens to be the six-year anniversary of Eternal Atake. Moreover, his single “What You Saying” is still ringing off as it sits at number 27 on the Hot 100. They are also reminding him of his “be here” comment as he’s now no longer with Hot 97.

But even though you can pretty confidently say Ebro was wrong about Uzi’s trajectory, he still believes he was right. In a Rap Life Review clip caught by Kurrco, he tries to prove that he is by asking his panel if they are still eager for a new project from him.

He also tries to switch up the initial focus of his prediction he made in 2016 to them living up to “rockstar” status.

Is Lil Uzi Vert Dropping An Album Soon?

Uzi did say they were going to be one, and most of the Rap Life Review hosts felt he reached that to a degree. Fans of theirs were quick to point Ebro’s pivoting out in the comments. “Wasn’t his point Uzi wouldnt be around for that long?” one user asked.

Another writes, “That’s not the original argument. It wasn’t if he was still gonna be number 1 or the most relevant of all time, he specifically said ‘a few years down the road, yall get to struggling’ Uzi responded that he not gon struggle and he proved him right.”

But even though there doesn’t seem to be too hard of feelings anymore, Ebro is loving that their debate keeps coming back to light. “It’s a gift that keeps on giving. It’s great promo. Love it.”

Going back to that album excitement, though, Uzi is seemingly ready to drop in 2026. In a Dazed interview they believe there needs to be a change of scenery. “I gotta change the scene. I can think of it right now, that’s how good I am. Steampunk. Steampunk. Because everything’s too goth, so we’re gonna make it more steampunk.”

zSneakerHeadz reports that the Nike Ja 4 will be released in the holiday of 2026.

This mock-up features a bold red mesh upper covering the entire bootie construction. Black graphic details slash across the midfoot creating dynamic visual movement and energy throughout. A carbon fiber-inspired panel adds structural support while maintaining the lightweight performance clearly.

The Nike Ja 4 introduces a functional JA stability structure for improved on-court performance. A lockdown fit system adapts to foot movement during explosive plays and quick cuts. The Cushlon 3.0 midsole provides responsive cushioning for all-day comfort and court-ready impact protection.

A 6mm ZoomX liner sits inside delivering bounce and energy return for explosive movements. The sock-like collar eliminates traditional lacing systems for streamlined aesthetics and reduced weight significantly. Red rubber completes the colorway with traction patterns built in carefully.

While this remains a mock-up render, the silhouette is expected to closely match production. Ja Morant continues evolving his signature line with Nike into more innovative territory each season. The slip-on design represents a bold departure from traditional basketball sneaker construction methods completely.

Finally end-of-year timing positions the Nike Ja 4 perfectly for holiday shopping and gifts.

Nike Ja 4 Mockup

That sock-like construction is such a bold move for a signature basketball shoe. It gives these a futuristic, almost alien aesthetic compared to typical lace-up models.

The all-red colorway in these mock-ups looks absolutely fire with that mesh texture. Also those black graphic slashes across the midfoot add serious visual interest and movement. ZoomX in the sockliner is premium tech that LeBron and other top signatures use.

The carbon fiber-inspired panel suggests Nike is taking stability seriously for Ja’s explosive style. Dropping the traditional lacing system is risky but could revolutionize basketball shoe design honestly.

These look way more advanced than the Ja 3 from a design perspective.

The hot take emerged on Apple Music’s latest Rap Life Review episode, published yesterday (Thursday, March 5). In it, Ebro made a bold claim about the 6ix God’s catalog. “I’m waiting for something that’s never going to happen. It’s like waiting for a classic Drake album. It’s never going to happen,” he expressed, which his cohosts were not very receptive to. “Go ahead, you ain’t have to respond to that.”

kev2alks made an Instagram Reel featuring this clip with the following caption: “Aww look at Ebro truing to have a moment..well you got it buddy, ofcourse you need Drake to have it,It’s not like Kenny [Kendrick Lamar] don’t got 2 new verses out,but yall know u won’t go viral off that huh!? Saying this while he’s most streamed is WILD.”

As it turns out, The Boy apparently blessed this Reel with a like, which kev2alks responded to on Twitter. “Imma just leave this here and happy this is how my night ended,” they wrote. “Love seeing the boy [Drake] see me Drag Ebro for filth…and he probably saw my 416-4/16 post too… Night Y’all.” kev2alks tagged other OVO-supporting accounts in their post.

Why Don’t Drake & Ebro Like Each Other?

For those unaware, Ebro’s been very critical of Drake in the past, calling him a “sickness” and accusing him of being right-wing. This contentious relationship goes back even further to their earlier days in the game. Clearly, things have not gotten any nicer between them.

In fact, Drake celebrated Ebro’s misfortune, specifically his exit from Hot 97‘s morning programming. Many fans might see this as petty, but others see it as payback for years of criticism.

Will this feud come up again in more direct ways or are podcast shots and Instagram likes the extent of the animosity? We’ll see, but we doubt a hatchet burial is incoming.

The 21-year-old son of T.I. shared the audio for it on his Instagram, per Live Bitez. Along with some venomous bars like, “You were made from 50 cents because your mama gave it cheap,” he trolled Fif in the accompanying caption.

“Ni66a Dropped dat Weak A$$ Track [laughing emojis face palm emoji]. It ain’t sh*t you can do, DAT WE CANT MR 5 0!! So yall just sit back and watch da show WE FINNA COOK THIS [duck emoji] Ahhh Ni66a. Song out now will be on all platforms later today,” King Harris wrote.

This is a response to 50 Cent’s new track which also dropped today, “No One Told Us What We’re Here For,” which features R&B’s hottest act, Leon Thomas. The record is really for the next installment in his Power TV series. However, the G-Unit mogul uses it as a means to lyrically respond to T.I. and his entire family.

Is 50 Cent Making A T.I. Documentary?

From what we can see, the reactions to 50’s bars suggest they are nothing to write home about. But maybe some will at least respect the fact that he finally got in the booth.

However, we wouldn’t be surprised if this will be his only diss record to come out of this extensive beef. That’s partly because he’s going to be working on a documentary exposing the truth of T.I. and Tiny Harris’ relationship and the people they really are.

That’s at least a rumor that’s out there as 50 reportedly has a tentative title: Surviving T.I. & Tiny. It would focus on the numerous sexual assault allegations that they longtime couple has been hit with from other women.

They have all been labeled as untrue claims by Tip and Tiny but that doesn’t mean anything to 50. We saw what happened with Diddy and Sean Combs: The Reckoning. In fact, the format of this rumored doc would be similar to that Netflix hit.

50 made sure to warn T.I. and his clan of what could happen on Instagram. “Remember how quiet I got before the Diddy doc, Dame thought I wasn’t coming. I hope this doesn’t mess up your promo tour; they’re gonna ask about your 20 sexual assault cases. You might want to talk to a crisis PR person.”

Quotable Lyrics from Bazin

Casablanca rockin’, take bitch out Lorenzo’s on a date (Casablanca rockin’)
Five-star Barbie, she eat steak, but she can’t get that over here (Fiver-star Barbie)
Five star shooters, you get baked, that shit can happen anywhere (Five-star)
Please don’t look me in my face, I don’t like eye contact, no stare (Five-star, damn)

The post Bazin – Song by Skrilla appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

While the Atlanta artists hasn’t yet responded to his Queens enemy’s on-wax disses, he did dismiss these documentary threats. “We can go bar for bar, hit for hit, or doc for doc… either way all you gon do is show how much of a FN u is….” he captioned an Instagram post yesterday (Thursday, March 5). The post features a clip of Tip and his son King Harris listening to the former’s track “Let Em Know” from his upcoming album Kill The King. “Let’s play. Nobody fears you over here Boo Boo…”

What’s more is that T.I. clapped back at 50 Cent in another Instagram post last night. This one featured a picture of Tip and his family. “@50cent Drop whatever you choose,just please keep showing da world You a H*!!!” he wrote. “#OnClay & You still ain’t Tell us why you in 4K ‘D**k Pulling’ wit the smile of a Sissy???? Pandora’s box is ajar sir… Good Luck FN You suck. P.S. Me & mine till the end of time Issa ‘Trauma Bond’!!!!”

50 Cent’s Documentary Production

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by TIP (@tip)

For those unaware, 50 Cent has previous history with shocking documentaries. He was an executive producer on the Netflix docuseries Sean Combs: The Reckoning, which went over many allegations against Diddy. That netted 50 a lot of controversy, and a documentary about T.I. would probably lead to similar criticism.

Still, it seems like Tip isn’t breaking a sweat over this. Now that he and his family finally got a response from the G-Unit mogul, we’ll see if this feud stretches out any farther than it already has. The King of the South and his family have denied all allegations against them, and Curtis Jackson has denied the previous abuse allegations against him.
