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

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.

PlaqueBoyMax Says Don Toliver Would Be A Bigger Star If He Had More Sex Appeal

Tallie Spencer — Fri, 18 Sep 2026 03:33:00 +0000

PlaqueBoyMax believes Don Toliver already has most of the ingredients needed to become one of music’s biggest stars. According to the streamer, however, there’s one thing holding him back: sex appeal. During a recent livestream, Max offered his unfiltered take on Toliver’s career and appearance. He argued that the Houston artist would be significantly bigger if he were more conventionally attractive.

“If Don Toliver was a sexy n***a,” Max said, he believes Toliver would be “the biggest” star. He went on to praise the singer’s style and personality, but doubled down on his belief that being more handsome would take his career to another level. Max then turned the conversation toward himself, joking that his own commitment to the gym is partly because he plans on becoming a “sex symbol” when his opportunity comes.

As wild as the delivery was, Max’s comments sparked a broader conversation about how much image and conventional attractiveness actually matter in the music industry. Some fans laughed at his assessment, while others argued that an artist’s appearance can play a role in marketing and mainstream appeal.

PlaqueboyMax Shares His Opinion

It’s also worth noting that Max is far from a Don Toliver critic. Earlier this year, he praised Octane, called Toliver a hitmaker and spoke highly of his vocals while encouraging his audience to support the singer’s rise.

“I’m not even gonna lie mfs gone say sum bc max the one that said it but really he lowkey right,” one person commented, agreeing with PlaqueboyMax.

“LMFAOOOOO this the s**t you only say in your head because I said the same thing after watching him and Drake last night don a ugly mf,” somebody else wrote on X.

“I wish he hadn’t used the word “sexy” but I understand what he saying cause don talent is out of this world,” another person said.

Toliver has yet to publicly respond to Max’s latest assessment. Either way, it opens a broader discussion about talent and looks in the entertainment industry. And all press is good press because Drake recently teased a new song with Don Toliver on his FOMO live stream. So now, all eyes are on Toliver to see what he’ll do next.

Milo Yiannopoulos At Risk Of Losing Yeezy Paychecks

Tallie Spencer — Fri, 18 Sep 2026 02:57:00 +0000

Milo Yiannopoulos could see some of his Yeezy money redirected as his divorce battle with estranged husband John Campbell continues. According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Campbell is asking a Los Angeles judge to order a portion of Yiannopoulos’ Yeezy earnings to go toward his spousal support obligations.

Yiannopoulos previously served as Ye’s chief of staff and said earlier this month that he was back working for the rapper following his deportation to the United Kingdom. The former Ye executive made headlines in late August for reportedly being detained at an ICE detention center. ICE announced his arrest via X, and shared his mugshot with the caption “an illegal alien from the United Kingdom.”

Campbell claims Yiannopoulos has been spending money at London luxury department store Harrods instead of satisfying his court-ordered obligations. He is also asking the court to act quickly, alleging that Yiannopoulos could otherwise move assets offshore or further cut financial ties with the United States. Those claims have not been established as fact by the court.

The former couple’s split has already become contentious. Both men have accused the other of verbal abuse, while Campbell has also accused Yiannopoulos of repeatedly using racial slurs. Yiannopoulos previously disputed some alleged text messages submitted in the case, calling them fabricated.

TMZ also reported that they reached out to Yiannopoulos about Campbell’s latest request. His response was brief and characteristically combative: “But from the bottom of my heart, f**k you.”

For now, Campbell is asking the court to intervene directly in Yiannopoulos’ income stream. Whether that ultimately includes money coming from Yeezy will be up to the judge. Stay tuned as this story continues to develop.

Boosie Badazz Insists He Did “Nothing Illegal” By Hiring Lobbyists To Seek Trump Pardon

Tallie Spencer — Fri, 18 Sep 2026 02:20:57 +0000

Boosie Badazz is pushing back against questions surrounding the $600,000 he paid lobbyists Jack Burkman and Jacob Wohl while seeking a presidential pardon from Donald Trump. The situation recently gained more attention after Boosie appeared in a 60 Minutes investigation into the business surrounding presidential pardons. Boosie says he paid Burkman and Wohl’s firm in 2025 to advocate for clemency in his federal gun case. The pardon never came, and he is now fighting to recover $300,000 of the money.

In a new video, Boosie defended his decision to hire the lobbyists after he says people were in his DMs saying it was illegal. Boosie explained that paying someone to advocate for a pardon isn’t the same as paying the president for one.

“I ain’t do nothing illegal,” he said. “What’s illegal is when you take the funds and just stick them in your pocket and you don’t do nothing with the funds.”

Based on the facts currently reported, simply hiring and paying lobbyists to advocate for a presidential pardon is not, by itself, illegal. That part of Boosie’s statement is broadly correct.

Boosie Argues He’s Within Reason

A post shared by DJ Akademiks (@akademiks)

Boosie Badazz found himself at the center of a surprising political story this week after details emerged about the $600,000 he paid Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman to help secure a presidential pardon. The two conservative political operatives, who have previously been convicted on fraud-related charges, allegedly agreed to lobby on Boosie’s behalf for a pardon from President Donald Trump.

According to the reported agreement, they had until January 31, 2026, to deliver. Months later, Boosie still hasn’t received a pardon and is now seeking the return of $300,000. He has also accused Wohl and Burkman of exaggerating their connections to powerful political figures who they claimed could help his case. More recently, the Baton Rouge rapper shared alleged messages between himself and the pair as he publicly questioned whether those connections ever existed.

Burkman and Wohl, meanwhile, have denied wrongdoing. The dispute remains unresolved, meaning Boosie’s accusations against the pair are still allegations rather than established findings of fraud.

For Boosie, though, the distinction is clear. He maintains that hiring lobbyists wasn’t the problem. His issue is what he claims happened to his money after he hired them.

Steph Curry’s “Liberty” And “Obsidian” Way Of Wade Colorways Drop Soon

Ben Atkinson — Fri, 18 Sep 2026 01:51:00 +0000

The “Liberty” and “Obsidian” colorways from the Way of Wade Curry Moment Pack release September 19th. Each is priced at $200 through the Way of Wade webstore. Also each of the colorways is limited to just 200 pairs, available in unisex sizing.

“Liberty” comes covered in weathered copper green throughout the upper. Black hits the Curry logos, while metallic gold takes over the Way of Wade branding on the side panel. “Obsidian” flips that formula, using a marbled black base with teal accents on the Steph logos and shiny metallic silver replacing the gold detailing.

Both pairs are built on the Way of Wade 12 platform rather than a brand-new Curry signature model. That shoe already carries a strong reputation on-court, known for its bouncy Super Boom cushioning and reliable traction. This pack simply reworks that existing shoe with Curry-specific colors and branding.

These releases follow Curry’s move to Li-Ning earlier this year after a stretch of sneaker free agency. He spent time testing shoes across multiple brands before landing this new partnership. The Curry Moment Pack marks an early chapter in that new chapter with Li-Ning.

Both colorways carry symbolic meaning tied to Dwyane Wade’s career. “Liberty” nods to the moment Wade got drafted by the Miami Heat at Madison Square Garden back in 2003. Further, the name represents ambition and the idea that greatness can truly begin from anywhere.

“Obsidian” draws its inspiration from the volcanic glass itself, known for forming under extreme pressure. Also that concept lines up well with Curry’s own reputation for composure and precision under pressure throughout his career.

Pairing Curry with Wade’s signature shoe line makes sense given how much both players have meant to modern basketball. Curry’s move to Li-Ning gives him a fresh platform to build out that identity further. With only 200 pairs of each colorway available, these are expected to move fast once they go live.

Drake Gifts Pink OVO Chains To Stunna Sandy And Sexyy Red

Ben Atkinson — Fri, 18 Sep 2026 01:14:28 +0000

Drake gifted Stunna Sandy and Sexyy Red matching pink OVO pendants. Both pieces feature the brand’s well known signature owl logo, and it shows up in a bright pink finish covered in stones. Photos of both women showing off the pendants have been shared online since the gifts went out.

This isn’t the only personal gesture Drake’s made public recently either. He just dropped “FOMO,” a nearly hour-long short film. In that, he gave fans a look inside his personal collection of jewelry, watches, and cars. Gifting custom pieces like these pink pendants fits that same pattern of Drake showing off. It’s certainly a display of his astronomical wealth, but also shows how he cares for those around him.

The pendant appears to be a custom take on OVO’s usual owl branding, which typically shows up in gold, silver, or black. Swapping in pink gives the piece a much bolder, more personalized look. Both women were seen wearing theirs on-body shortly after receiving them.

There’s no confirmed retail version of this pink OVO pendant, and it appears to be a one-off custom piece rather than something available to purchase.

Drake’s OVO Pendant Gifts

The OVO owl has become one of the most recognizable logos in hip-hop merchandising since the brand’s launch. Over the years, it’s appeared across countless colorways and materials. From simple embroidered patches all the way to fully iced-out custom pieces like this one.

That logo carries even more weight now given OVO’s recent business news. Authentic Brands Group just picked up a 51% majority stake in the brand’s intellectual property, with Drake staying on with a 44% stake and creative control. That deal is pushing OVO toward a much bigger retail future.

Against that backdrop, a personal gift like this pink pendant reads differently. Even as OVO scales into something much larger commercially, Drake handing out custom pieces to friends keeps that personal, hands-on side of the brand visible. Whether this pink colorway ever becomes more than a one-off gift remains to be seen.
