redveil has been one of hip-hop’s brightest young stars of the 2020s. This has been true whether it’s via full-length albums or short but compelling loosies. In the latter category, the PG County MC just added another gem with his track “pawn shop.” The instrumental, produced by Rohan Kumar, is actually a type beat Kumar made in the style of redveil, MAVI, and Earl Sweatshirt. As such, it’s no surprise the rapper fits well over the sunny and horn-backed jam. redveil’s flows are dexterous, his vocal delivery is passionate, and he’s able to get a lot of energy out of just a minute and 11 seconds of runtime.

Release Date: September 18, 2026

Quotable Lyrics from pawn shop

N***a can’t get caught lacking, what the f**k you thought?
Had a nightmare that I stayed in the same square miles i fought in,
Where they told me to bleed caution, but I chose exhaustion,
I was shooting in the dark, but I guess God guide some coin tosses

Blueface Reunites With Nevaeh & Their Son Despite Public Fallout https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1010316-blueface-reunites-nevaeh-their-son-public-fallout Sat, 19 Sep 2026 15:00:02 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1010316 Although Blueface and Nevaeh Akira had cordial moments during a recent livestream, the drama between them continues to build.

Blueface stacks up heaps of relationship drama with his former partners with each passing week, but he never stays away for long. He recently seemed to reconcile with Nevaeh Akira to a degree, as they were on a livestream yesterday (Friday, September 18) along with their son, Johnathan Jamall Porter Jr. However, while they seemed amicable for many moments, there were also some dramatic flare-ups that indicated the two are still somewhat at odds.

For those unaware, Blueface and Nevaeh Akira had publicly fallen out following tape leaks and her revelation about her NBA YoungBoy tattoo. But in new clips circulating on social media, it seems like the two are still cordial with one another and even living together for the sake of their son. DJ Akademiks TV caught a clip of Blue with their little one on Instagram.

“Chat, this baby’s saving her,” he said. “If she didn’t have this cute little baby, I’d kick this b***h to the curb.”

Via IG, The Neighborhood Talk caught some of the on-and-off-again couple clashing over their breakup. Nevaeh wanted to make it clear she was done with the West Coast rapper if he was so adamant about the split, whereas Blueface chastised her for her past and continued to mock her.

Blueface & Nevaeh Akira

At one moment, he seemed sad she’s moving out in November, but he said he “loves that” for her. They were laughing a lot of this off, though, so it seems like all of this isn’t too serious.

Elsewhere, Blueface is dealing with other problems, mostly his swatting run-ins as a result of his livestreams. He told CBS Miami this is par the course for streamers today.

“Comes with the game,” the California rapper explained. “You get swatted. That’s what it’s called. It’s called being swatted. So, when you live-stream, everything’s live. So, sometimes the people watching want to feel like they have some type of effect on the stream. What happens? People it happens to. This is what they do. They call the police. They make false reports. Waste everyone’s time.”

Meanwhile, as Blueface and Nevaeh navigate more fan scrutiny, we’ll see if they actually maintain a solid dynamic or if more drama will follow. For now, even with all their clashes, it seems like they’re not ready yet to cut each other off, which would be devastating for their son.

HotNewHipHop is back with another panel discussion. In our latest conversation, our features editor Aron and I discussed the Lil Durk verdict in his murder-for-hire case, Kendrick Lamar and his divisive feature run, and the debate between Vince Staples and his fans over his assessment of his artistry. We recorded the panel discussion below on Tuesday afternoon (September 15), which is now yours to enjoy.

Regarding Kendrick Lamar’s panned and praised features post-GNX, we spoke on the negative reception hitting collabs like “So Good” with Jhené Aiko and “Good Flirts” with Baby Keem and Momo Boyd. Aron and I aren’t big fans either, going over Kendrick’s MUSIC deficiencies with Playboi Carti and how his run of features since the Drake battle haven’t felt very consequential. We named the exception to this, though, as “Chains & Whips” with Clipse from last year.

This led to a debate about whether or not Lamar can “hold the crown” in hip-hop from this view, which we think is still possible. After all, this could be just an artistic shift he wanted to take for these collaborations and not rest on his rap laurels. But Aron and I hope this isn’t indicative of a future studio album direction, even if the strong hate for these features can go overboard.

HNHH Panel

Elsewhere, we also discussed the acquittal of Lil Durk in his murder-for-hire case. Beyond legal details, Aron and I focused on what could be next for Lil Durk considering he was already shifting his music to more pop-friendly directions. Also, he has another racketeering trial on the way, and we believe this and other factors will contribute to Durk’s difficulty in shaking this turbulent time off.

Finally, Aron and I discussed the Vince Staples debate, which sparked after he didn’t pick a favorite song of his and compared the question to asking a McDonald’s employee what their favorite burger is. We found the fan outrage to this to be very entitled, as it represents how art falls outside of its creator’s control once it’s out in the world. Aron and I spoke on the worth of music, Vince’s consistently compelling and honest perspective on the industry, and how his burger pop-up in response to this was dope to see.

Let us know what you think about all these buzzing hip-hop topics. Elsewhere, stay logged into HNHH to rate new songs and albums we’ve covered and check out our news and feature coverage.

Court Records Claim NBA Ben10 Has No Income Or Home As A Rapper https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1010308-court-records-nba-ben10-no-income-home-rapper Sat, 19 Sep 2026 14:00:10 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1010308 DJ Akademiks and many others have reacted in outraged ways to federal authorities' characterization of NBA Ben10 following his arrest.

NBA Ben10 faces federal charges of aiding and abetting robbery and brandishing a gun during a violent crime, in connection to an alleged Houston confrontation with AllStar JR. AllStar previously received federal charges for allegedly shooting Ben10 and paralyzing him, but Ben and rapper OG 3Three were recently arrested in connection to this incident. Now, reported court records obtained by No Jumper on Instagram show pretrial characterizations of the NBA affiliate that are causing controversy.

“Pretrial Services has noted that Mr. Fields [NBA Ben10’s legal last name] is a self-employed rapper with no income, is single and has five children living with their mothers, that he has used marijuana and consumed Percocet (without a prescription) since he was a teenager, and that he drifts house-to-house,” the court documents reportedly read.

Many fans online mocked this description or Ben10 himself, questioning what relevance this poses to the case. As caught by DJ Akademiks TV on IG, DJ Akademiks had a particularly strong reaction to this on his livestream. This comes after he told NBA YoungBoy to avoid the United States and stay in South Korea amid this situation, even if it doesn’t directly involve him in any way.

“Oh, hell no. Why the feds trying to sneak diss my man Ben10 like he’s a nomad?” Ak expressed. “Like he don’t got a place of residence, talking about he drifts house-to-house. Why they sneak dissing, man? We seen the feds sneak diss [Lil] Durk talking about, ‘He ain’t no Jay-Z.’ […] Now we see this. They’re saying this n***a damn near homeless. Ain’t no f***ing way, man.”

NBA Ben10 Case

Elsewhere, other updates on the NBA Ben10 and AllStar JR situation involve the other man authorities recently arrested, OG 3Three. According to Complex, the manager of Master P wrote a character letter for 3Three before OG’s $200K bond request’s approval yesterday (Friday, September 18). He faces the same charges as Ben10.

Alvin “Juggie” McMillan Jr., No Limit’s executive vice president, reportedly said OG 3Three is “like a son” and praised his community and charity efforts. A Houston firefighter, the president of a local NAACP chapter, and more also wrote letters supporting the rapper.

3Three’s lawyer claimed he didn’t participate in the alleged robbery of AllStar JR despite being present. He also claimed his client wasn’t present for the shooting that took place later.

Trap Lore Ross Addresses Criticism Of His Lil Durk Trial Coverage https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1010304-trap-lore-ross-addresses-criticism-lil-durk-trial-coverage Sat, 19 Sep 2026 13:35:54 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1010304 Trap Lore Ross' Lil Durk trial coverage angered many of Durk's fans due to his phrasing of defense strategies and comments on evidence.

The post Trap Lore Ross Addresses Criticism Of His Lil Durk Trial Coverage appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

The Lil Durk trial caused a media uproar in hip-hop for various reasons, and his upcoming racketeering-related case will likely be no different. One of the most debated parts of the murder-for-hire proceedings was how Durk fans expressed anger at Trap Lore Ross. The hip-hop content creator characterized defense strategies as putting everything on the cooperating witnesses, which even led to Smurk supporters pressing Ross outside the courthouse.

After Lil Durk’s acquittal on all counts in the murder-for-hire trial, TLR spoke to DJ Vlad on his VladTV platform to reflect on his experiences and respond to these criticisms. He said the notion that he wanted a guilty verdict is false, and later offered his thoughts on the upcoming VICAR case.

“I didn’t want Durk to be found guilty,” Ross expressed. “To be honest, I think not guilty is actually a good result for me. Because everyone that was saying, ‘It’s going to be your fault.’ Well, what happened to that? I’m not the feds. I’m not responsible for this.”

Elsewhere, he also posited the defense team raised enough reasonable doubt despite the prosecutors’ evidence being strong, albeit insufficient. Also, Trap Lore Ross claimed someone threatened him in the courtroom on one particular day.

When Is Lil Durk’s Next Court Date?

“Somebody said they were going to punch me in my big Jew nose,” he claimed. “It doesn’t even really deserve the acknowledgement. I’m not actually Jewish… They really felt like they did something by saying that. I don’t know if Durk heard that in the courtroom or if word got back to him. But that was the day I pretty much got home and then saw the message had come from Durk to leave me alone. All of that stuff, I don’t think it helped Durk’s case. That was the day people were threatening to beat me up and my security outside. Nobody did a thing… Durk was probably frustrated with all these idiots making threats of violence in his name when he is on trial for acts of violence… I don’t really care. It was like the comments section in real life.”

In addition, Ross spoke on Lil Durk’s next trial, for which a bond hearing has been set for November 4. Furthermore, it seems like this delayed the initial October 5 start date.

“I think he absolutely humiliated the feds,” Trap Lore Ross told DJ Vlad. “They’re going to have a lifelong vendetta against him. They probably just spent millions on this case. And he just got not guilty on all of those charges. And they thought they had it in the bag… This is my opinion… I think the feds are going to be out for blood… I think time served, what, giving him two years for a violent crimes in aid of racketeering [VICAR]? I don’t think that’s going to fly.

Florida Gators Get An Air Jordan 11 Cleat PE For 2026 Season https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1010300-florida-gators-air-jordan-11-cleat-sneaker-news Sat, 19 Sep 2026 12:21:26 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1010300 Florida Gators football unveiled a new Air Jordan 11 player-exclusive cleat, done in the team's bright orange colors.

Jordan Brand just gave the Florida Gators a new set of player-exclusive cleats. The official Florida Gators team posted the cleats on Instagram, and the comment section is filled with positive reactions to the vibrant cleats.

Bright orange covers the entire patent leather upper, top to bottom. It’s a bold, monochrome treatment that leans fully into Florida Gator’s team colors. Metallic blue Jumpman logos break up the look, along with matching blue Florida branding stitched onto the tongue ribbon.

Those two details are the only parts of the shoe that stray from orange. It keeps the design clean instead of overloading it with extra colors or graphics. It also lets the shape of the 11 itself do most of the talking.

Unfortunately for fans, these cleats aren’t releasing. Like most college football PEs, they’re built specifically for Florida’s roster during the 2026 season. Fans hoping to cop a pair will be out of luck this time around, though on-field sightings should keep photos circulating throughout the fall.

Florida Gators Air Jordan 11 Cleat

Florida isn’t the only program getting this treatment either. Jordan Brand has already sent similar monochrome Air Jordan 11 cleats to both Michigan and Oklahoma this season, continuing a clear pattern across its sponsored schools.

That approach makes sense given the shoe itself. The Air Jordan 11 is one of the most recognizable silhouettes in the entire Jordan lineup. Turning it into a cleat gives sponsored schools an easy way to show it off on the field, without needing flashy extras to grab attention.

Florida has a long history of standout Jordan Brand PEs beyond just this one. The program has received exclusive versions of Jordans ranging from the 1 all the way up through the 30 over the years, covering nearly every era of the brand’s catalog.

Cleats like this one keep that tradition going, even without a public release attached. For Gators fans, it’s still a fun one to see on gameday, and a reminder of how deep Florida’s Jordan Brand relationship really runs.

Jaden Smith debuted a new backpack on the red carpet, calling it the best thing he’s ever designed. The bag comes from his own Christian Louboutin menswear line, which he’s led as creative director since last year. It’s one of several new pieces he’s shown off since stepping into that role.

Multiple small pockets cover the front of the backpack, each one labeled for a specific item. That kind of detail has become common across Smith’s work at the brand so far. His designs tend to mix everyday function with a more high-fashion look.

Smith made history by becoming Louboutin’s first-ever men’s creative director. The appointment gave him control over shoes, bags, and accessories across the entire menswear line. It marked a major shift for a brand mostly known for its women’s footwear.

His approach has drawn plenty of attention, for better or worse, since taking over. Some praise the bold new direction, while others question the choice entirely. Either way, pieces like this backpack keep his tenure at the brand in constant conversation.

Fans reacted quickly once photos of the bag started circulating online. It’s another moment that keeps Smith’s Louboutin era firmly in the spotlight.

Jaden Smith’s Christian Louboutin Backpack

Smith became Christian Louboutin’s first-ever men’s creative director, taking over the brand’s menswear output entirely. His debut collection introduced ideas built around tactical gear and everyday function.

That approach shows up clearly in this backpack. Structured compartments and labeled pockets turn a basic accessory into something closer to organized gear.

Smith has described his overall aesthetic as blending formality with practicality. Pieces built for actual daily use fit that vision better, but still allow Jaden to explore creativity.

Reactions to his Louboutin designs have been mixed so far, with plenty of debate over his creative direction. Pieces like this backpack tend to fuel that conversation even further.

Whether fans love it or not, moments like this keep Smith’s Louboutin era firmly in the spotlight.

2Hollis has become one of the biggest underground artists in the last few years. He even got a Kanye West co-sign in an infamous video in which the artist is getting a haircut. Since that time, 2Hollis has continued to release new singles and has developed his sound to a point where it is instantly recognizable. This is especially true on his latest track, “Sex.” The song has glitchy production and some rock-inspired vocal lines that contain the 2Hollis blueprint. It is a sound that is not for everyone, although there is no denying that it has completely captured the youth.

The post Brittany Renner Rips Daphne Joy: “You’re Overfilled & I’m Still Underwhelmed” appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
The back-and-forth between Brittany Renner and Daphne Joy just got considerably more pointed. After Joy responded to months-old criticism with a video defending her relationship preferences and taking a shot at Renner’s appearance, Renner returned with a lengthy message accusing Joy of missing the larger point behind her original comments.

We previously reported that Joy addressed Renner after clips resurfaced from a July livestream in which Renner mocked the model’s approach to being financially supported by men. Joy said she enjoys being taken care of and reciprocating that treatment, then warned Renner not to mention her again while looking like she had been “fighting dogs all night.”

Renner answered Friday (Sept. 18) with little interest in keeping things cordial. She sarcastically praised the “effort” Joy put into producing her response before turning directly to the appearance jab. “You paid a pretty penny to look like everyone but yourself,” Renner wrote. “You’re overfilled and I’m still underwhelmed.”

Moreover, Renner added that she never criticized Joy’s appearance in the original clip and argued that cosmetic enhancements were not a competition she was interested in having. “Fake on its best day will never hold a candle to natural,” she wrote, before attempting to steer the feud back toward what she says prompted the July remarks in the first place.

Renner Says Her Problem Is “The Grading System”

“I don’t have a problem with you. I have a problem with the grading system,” Renner stated. Her argument centered on what she views as inconsistent standards applied to women, particularly on predominantly Black media platforms. Renner questioned why Joy could receive supportive coverage while openly discussing men providing for her, then argued that Black women would be judged much more harshly for similar conversations about sex and relationships.

She also referenced the explicit footage involving Joy and Sean “Diddy” Combs that circulated online earlier this year. That episode carries an important distinction from Renner’s characterization. After the footage surfaced, Joy said she never consented to being filmed and alleged that she had been blackmailed over the recording. Complex reported in June that Joy said someone involved threatened to release the video unless she paid money.

Meanwhile, Renner went on to say her criticism is ultimately about “the picking and choosing, the glamorization of prostitution, and the patriarchy” rather than a personal grievance with Joy. She then challenged Joy to address those subjects directly if she wanted their exchange to continue. “Care to share your thoughts regarding those things specifically?” Renner asked. “I’d love to stay on topic.”

She closed with “Ruff ruff,” an unmistakable callback to Joy’s earlier “fighting dogs” insult. As of publication, Joy has not publicly responded to Renner’s latest message.
