Recently the COMME des GARÇONS HOMME PLUS x Nike Air Force Foamposite Ones collaboration was revealed on the runway for their autumn/winter ’21 collection and these joints didn’t just catch the eye, they lowkey hypnotized us too. Keeping the OG silhouette of the Foams intact, the designers decided to go with all-black and all-white versions but with a twist (kinda literally). Reminiscent of Reebok’s “Shaqnosis” sneakers, the inner etchings of the CDG Foams feature a swirling circular patterns that extend throughout the forefoot and midfoot that definitely standout and will have heads staring deep...
Mamba Memoriam: Kobe Bean Bryant’s Most Hip-Hop Moments
Source: Mark Davis / Getty It’s been one year since Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gigi were tragically taken from us and ultimately set the tone for the kind of dreadful year you’d expect to read about in sci-fi horror books. To honor the memory and legacy of the legendary Kobe Bean Bryant, HipHopWired compiled the ways that the NBA icon connected with the Hip-Hop culture throughout his career. Sure, many a rapper done dropped a Kobe reference or metaphor in their rhyme and paid homage to the Black Mamba, but Kobe himself has demonstrated several times over that Hip-Hop culture was ingrained into his personality. From attempting to become a rapper to using rap legends in his own commercials, Kobe’s presence and influence on the game, in multiple ways and varying nuances, has been well estab...

Lil Skies Finds His Truth On Unbothered: ‘I Always Feel The Pressure’
By Candace McDuffie Lil Skies sonically resides in a realm where raw and unfiltered emotion rules. The 22-year-old emcee made noise with his 2018 major-label mixtape, Life of a Dark Rose, which, on the surface, came across as part of the omnipresent emo rap that has permeated the music industry over the past five years. But upon further exploration, it is clear that the rapper born Kimetrius Foose — just like his mellifluous peers Lil Durk, Trippie Redd, and Lil Uzi Vert — is using his catalogue to process seemingly endless amounts of inner turmoil. Songs like “Red Roses” and “Cloudy Skies” balance tender melodicism with cerebral unease; he’s obsessed with experiencing — and always expecting — worst-case scenarios. Whether it’s betrayal or abandonment from fraudulent friends and potential ...

Curious How Normani And Rosalía Ended Up In The ‘WAP’ Video? Thank Patientce Foster
Patientce Foster has made a name for herself by making names for others — and become a star along the way. The North Carolina-born, Delaware-raised publicist began representing Cardi B when she was just 26 and, in a few years under her guidance, the rapper would appear on multiple TV shows, grace the covers of Rolling Stone and New York magazine, and ascend to the top of the Billboard charts with a debut single. A serial entrepreneur who started her first business selling homemade magazines in the sixth grade, Foster’s journey is a clear example that real success takes hard work and dedication.

ARNEL PINEDA Says Working With New JOURNEY Members Has Been ‘Amazing’
JOURNEY frontman Arnel Pineda has told Rolling Stone in a new interview that the band has completed six tracks for its upcoming album, with “maybe seven songs to go.” Asked if these cuts are ballads or rockers, he said: “For now, we’re doing the rocker songs first, not the ballads.

We’re working on that song. We’ll see what happens. I’m waiting for them to send me the demos so that we can record it next week.” Speaking about how things sound different now that bassist Randy Jackson and drummer...
