Blu remains one of the most proficient MCs in the world, and later this year, he will be dropping the album LA with Sndtrak. We already got the title track a few weeks ago, and to no one’s surprise, it was fantastic. Now, the duo is back, this time with a gritty offering called “Jesus.” This track contains atmospheric drums and background vocals, as well as a tight bass line that drives the song forward. From there, Blu spits dope bars and flexes his one-of-one flow. It’s a merging of styles that feels natural, and we will be looking forward to the full album.

Slayr remains one of the best underground rappers out right now, although it does appear as though he is destined to become a mainstream star in short order. He was recently named to the XXL Freshman List. Furthermore, he continues to drop gems, in which he takes the best sounds of the underground and makes it accessible to the average listener. It is a method he employs on his latest single, “Try and Fail,” which features SoFaygo. Both artists put their best melodic foot forward on this track. From the production to the autotuned vocals, we get a fantasy-inspired track that has everything you’d want from a Slayr track.

Release Date: August 18

Genre: Underground Rap

Album: AN+

Quotable Lyrics from Try and Fail

I wish I could give you the recipe (Ooh)
Nothin’ like you expected, hope you do not think less of me (Ooh)
Think of her as a blessing every time she caressin’ me (Ooh)
Shawty keep gettin’ wetter, think I might need a jetski (Ooh)

Full Look At Supreme’s FW26 Accessories And Collaborations https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1006272-supreme-fall-winter-2026-streetwear-news Tue, 18 Aug 2026 13:22:38 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1006272 Supreme's Fall/Winter 2026 collection is here, with over 30 collaborations and one of the wildest accessories lineups yet.

Supreme’s Fall/Winter 2026 collection is officially here, and it’s shaping up to be one of the brand’s biggest seasons in years. The full lookbook dropped Monday, with the season itself set to release Thursday, August 20th.

This season features over 30 brand collaborations, spanning everything from outerwear to gaming hardware. Supreme is clearly leaning into its reputation for combining premium materials with completely unexpected novelty pieces, and this collection delivers heavily on both fronts.

Outerwear is a major focus this time around. Alongside the headline Jeff Hamilton leather jacket, the lineup includes Schott leather jackets, Vanson Leathers Cordura pieces, multiple GORE-TEX options, and a faux fur jacket from B.B. Simon. It’s one of the stronger outerwear lineups Supreme has put out in recent memory.

Overall, below is a look at some of the main accessories from the season, followed by the full collaboration list.

Supreme FW26 Accessories

Supreme’s accessories game continues to be the wildest part of every season, and FW26 might be the strongest lineup yet. There’s also a full De Sede DS-600 leather sofa, a Kodak Super 8 camera, and a Dyson vacuum.

Even further, the collection includes a custom chrome Lambretta scooter, a Spalding cart loaded with basketballs, a JBL speaker, and a DYE MXR paintball gun. A Keen mini half pipe and a Jacob & Co. cross pendant round out some of the more eye-catching pieces.

Gold and red analogue pocket handhelds are also part of the mix, giving retro gaming collectors something. As always, these accessory pieces are expected to sell out fast given how limited the runs typically are.

Supreme FW26 Collaborations

A few names on this list stand out immediately. The Jeff Hamilton leather jacket, covered entirely in box logos. Also, stock is expected to be extremely low once it drops.

Nike’s involvement also confirms speculation about an Air Max 2000 retro. Between Timberland, Swarovski, and Vanson Leathers, Supreme is balancing premium collaborators with the kind of novelty energy that’s defined the brand for years.

With this many partnerships packed into one season, FW26 is already being called one of Supreme’s strongest collections in recent memory, well before a single piece has even hit shelves.

Woman Who Fought Chrisean Rock In The Street Posts Video Of Her Face To Prove Who Won https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1006270-chrisean-rock-street-fight-partner-speaks Tue, 18 Aug 2026 13:18:07 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1006270 Chrisean Rock found herself in the middle of a street fight on Sunday night, and now, the other combatant is speaking out.

The post Woman Who Fought Chrisean Rock In The Street Posts Video Of Her Face To Prove Who Won appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Chrisean Rock got into a street fight over the weekend following Nevaeh’s baby shower. Blueface chose to spend his evening with Chrisean as opposed to Nevaeh, which raised some eyebrows as the latter is set to give birth.

Regardless, footage of the street fight has taken over social media. If you remember, Chrisean has gotten into the ring before. She defeated Zenith Zion in a Zeus-sanctioned fight months ago, and as it turns out, she has her moves committed to memory.

Although she made quick work of her opponent, she has since come out and said that she regrets the fight, and she wishes it never happened. Rock says she made attempts to avoid the confrontation, but in the end, the fight happened anyway.

The woman who fought Chrisean Rock has since taken to Instagram to speak on the fight, all while taking some verbal jabs at the reality TV star. As the woman explains, zero damage was done to her face. Moreover, she believes Rock is trying to play the victim. In videos posted to social media, the woman put her face on full display, using this as a means of proving that Rock left no bruises or knots.

Over on Livebitez, commenters aren’t so sure of the woman’s claims. In the view of the public, she was thoroughly defeated. “Sis it’s okay we saw the footage and she took you through there,” one person wrote. “You don’t have to have a knot you still got beat up,” said another.

Needless to say, the public is on Chrisean Rock’s side with this one. Given the footage, one has to wonder if Rock has the desire to box again. She has the skill for it, and it’s a much more productive outlet than street fighting.

Drake Responds To DJ Akademiks’ Crash Out On Rob Markman And Hip-Hop Media https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1006267-drake-responds-dj-akademiks-rob-markman Tue, 18 Aug 2026 12:50:48 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1006267 DJ Akademiks went on a lengthy rant about Rob Markman on Monday evening, and Drake decided to send a text message.

The post Drake Responds To DJ Akademiks’ Crash Out On Rob Markman And Hip-Hop Media appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

Drake is someone who isn’t too fond of the current state of hip-hop media. This is mostly because the prominent figures are the ones criticizing him the most, barring a few exceptions.

One of those exceptions is DJ Akademiks, who has the OVO chain to prove it. He has consistently gone to bat for Drizzy, and more recently, has taken up the fight against Roc Nation.

On Monday, Akademiks found himself in crash-out mode, with his target being Rob Markman and hip-hop media. Even HotNewHipHop caught a stray in the rant, although that is neither here nor there.

The rant comes after Markman accused Akademiks of using an army of clippers to push narratives. In response, Akademiks said that Markman and his ilk were nothing but a bunch of article writers who have never broken a story in their lives.

Ak then went on to say that the real journalists are the likes of “What’s The Dirt” and “Trap Lore Ross.” He even shouted out Nancy Dillon of Rolling Stone, who typically has the latest details on big court cases.

Drake Texts Akademiks

This rant culminated in a shoutout from Drake himself. In the middle of his stream, Akademiks revealed that he had received a text message from the ICEMAN MC. The artist was reportedly very fond of what Ak had to say and was praising him for the humor in his crash-out. Needless to say, Drake is not a fan of Markman nor his peers.

Drake’s beef with hip-hop media will continue for as long as he is criticized. The Kendrick Lamar beef did him no favors, and two years later, he still has a bone to pick.

At this point, it appears as though those relationships are irreparable barring a miracle.

Lil Durk Allegedly Refused Peace Offering From Quando Rondo Affiliate: “Take The Peace Of The Switch” https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1006258-lil-durk-quando-rondo-peace-offering Tue, 18 Aug 2026 12:34:59 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1006258 Lil Durk is set to begin jury selection for his murder-for-hire trial on Thursday, and new information is reportedly being made available.

Lil Durk’s murder-for-hire trial is officially set to begin on August 20, as jury selection will begin. Durk is facing life in prison as he stands accused of orchestrating the murder of Quando Rondo’s cousin, Lul Pab.

It has been alleged that Quando Rondo was the target of the Los Angeles gas station ambush. Furthermore, it was alleged that this was all retaliation for the murder of King Von, which took place back in November of 2020.

Now, new legal documents are coming to light, suggesting that Durk was given a peace offering by one of Quando Rondo’s affiliates. However, Durk had very little interest in peace, saying, “I’m not hopping on the phone to squash […] this for Thang and Von.”

Lil Durk Trial Begins Thursday

Later in the filing, Lil Durk continues his alleged threats against Quando Rondo and his crew. “Call me bout peace, take the peace of the switch.” Moreover, it was stated that the switch being referred to is a machine gun similar to the one used to kill Lul Pab.

Recently, Lil Durk has been facing some difficult losses as it pertains to the upcoming trial. While he scored a win as far as getting some of the allegations removed, Durk has been unable to keep certain pieces of evidence out of the trial.

His song “Pissed Me Off” can be used by the prosecution. Furthermore, a phone seized during a home invasion in 2021 can also be used in the case. This will only make it more difficult for Durk and his defense to win the case.

Stay tuned to HNHH for updates as the trial officially begins on Thursday.

The Air Jordan 12 “Sumo” is officially releasing through a Japan-only raffle, and international collectors won’t have a shot at this one. Atmos is handling the entire rollout, with entries open now through select dates this month.

Black leather covers most of the upper, layered with subtle wave-style embossing that nods to traditional Japanese art. A rich purple wraps the midsole and mudguard, paired with gold details on the lace locks and Jumpman branding. It’s a clean, culturally rooted design that fits right into Jordan Brand’s growing lineup of region-specific releases.

The raffle itself runs through atmos, opening August 14th at 6PM and closing August 21st at 8:59AM. Entry requires a free atmos membership, and only those living in Japan are eligible to apply. There’s no workaround here, this release is staying regional by design.

Winners won’t get a direct notification either. Instead, results post inside each member’s Raffle Entry History section starting August 23rd at 9AM, meaning anyone who enters will need to check their account manually. Pairs for winners are expected to ship out between August 23rd and August 28th.

Air Jordan 12 “Sumo”

Jordan Brand has leaned more into country-exclusive raffles over the past couple years, and “Sumo” continues that pattern. Limiting a release to a single country keeps hype local while still generating plenty of attention from collectors who can’t enter.

Atmos has become one of Jordan Brand’s partners for these kinds of exclusive Japan drops, running raffles that stay outside typical global SNKRS access. That partnership gives the retailer pull within Japan’s sneaker scene.

For collectors outside the country, the only realistic path to a pair will be resale once winners actually receive their shoes. Given the design and the exclusivity built into this release, expect resale interest to climb fast once pairs start shipping.

The scarcity is what turns a release like this into more than just another colorway. It’s a reminder that not every Jordan drop is meant to go wide, and sometimes that’s the whole point.

A street fight has pushed Chrisean Rock back into a familiar conversation about violence and accountability. After footage showed her overpowering another woman outside a club, Rock returned to social media with an explanation of what she says led to the confrontation. She insists she tried to avoid the fight and only reacted once the other woman made the first move.

The altercation surfaced after a chaotic night connected to the baby shower for Blueface and his pregnant girlfriend, Nevaeh Akira. Videos circulating online showed Blueface and Rock together later that evening before another confrontation broke out outside a nightclub. According to Rock, she and Blueface, whose real name is Johnathan Porter, became separated in the crowd as several women approached her.

“Me and Johnathan ended up separating by accident. We didn’t really separate. Something happened, and it was just whatever,” she said. “So, Jonathan was distracted, and like, four girls started walking up on me.”

Chrisean Details What Led Up To The Fight

Rock said she asked someone with her to pay attention because she believed the women might be looking for trouble. “My hands are registered. I want no beef. I don’t know what’s going on,” she recalled saying. She claims one woman then made it clear that she wanted to fight. “I said, ‘Girl, I don’t even know you,’” Rock continued. “So, it was just random people. Strangers. People I don’t know specifically. She got into it with some homies or whatever, and she wanted to take it out on me.”

Moreover, Rock says people around the woman also tried to discourage the confrontation. She claims she issued a warning of her own before the situation turned physical. Once it did, she said her boxing instincts took over. “Am I proud of that? No, but I’m not finna be bullied,” Rock said of the street fight. “It’s a friendly fade.”

The rapper also argued that the other woman initiated the physical contact. “She can’t even press charges if she wanted to because she hit first. She wanted it. It was so bad. She really wanted it.” Rock’s statement reflects her own interpretation of what happened and should not be taken as a legal determination about whether anyone involved could pursue charges.

The regret has not convinced everyone watching the fallout. Some critics have pointed to what they see as a recurring pattern in Rock’s public life, where violent confrontations are followed by expressions of remorse and renewed discussion of her Christian faith. Rock has made religion a much more visible part of her public identity in recent years, often speaking about wanting to change how she lives and how she handles conflict.

“Me and Jonathan ended up separating by accident. We didn’t realy separate. Something happened and it was just whatever. So, Jonathan was distracted, and like, four girls started walking up on me,” said Rock. She said she called on a friend to survey the scene and see that there were women possibly looking for a confrontation. “My hands are registered. I want no beef. I don’t know what’s going on.” Rock claims the woman suggested that she wanted to fight. “I said, ‘Girl, I don’t even know you.’ So, it was just random people. Strangers. People I don’t know specifically. She got into it with some homies or whatever, and she wanted to take it out on me.”

Rock added that she gave the woman a “fair warning” not to fight her. She said other people who knew the woman told her to fall back and not instigate the situation. Yet, the woman wanted to press Rock, so Rock said she immedaitely leaned onto her boxing training. “Am I proud of that? No, but I’m not finna be bullied. It’s a friendly fade… She can’t even press charges if she wanted to because she hit first. She wanted it. It was so bad. She really wanted it.”
