Trippie Redd Talks Drake Collab on “Betrayal”
Trippie Redd‘s much-anticipated collaboration with Drake has finally surfaced with the arrival of “Betrayal” last week. The track was not part of the initial release of Redd’s latest album, Trip At Knight, but was later updated to include “Betrayal.” The collaboration was imminent as the Trippie was expected to appear on Drizzy’s “God’s Plan.” He explained how quickly “Betrayal” came together in conversation with Big Boy sharing that since they were not able to be in the studio together. When Drake sent over his verse, Redd knew that the song will get people talking, “I felt like that just because it was Drake anyway. It’s a bucket list thing for me. I just had got that, we was sending music back and forth trying to figure it out. And I got that last minute to add to the album.” In a separ...

Watch Kyary Pamyu Pamyu Run from a Huge Ribbon in New ‘Gentenkaihi’ Video
Kyary Pamyu Pamyu shared the new music video accompanying her latest single called “Gentenkaihi,” which dropped Aug. 17. The video produced by the creative team N2B+peledona depicts Kyary’s efforts to shake off the lingering public image of her being an icon of Harajuku “kawaii” culture donning a big ribbon in her hair. The 28-year-old artist actually runs away from a huge — about 6.5 ft high, 8.2 ft wide — custom-made red ribbon throughout the video while also expressing her evolving style. Kyary shares that the day of the shoot was hot and the scene in the forest was tough to do, but that she’s proud of the result. “I’m being chased by a huge ribbon, which is my ‘genten’ (origin, roots), and also dance with a big ribbon on my head,” she says. “The day we shot it was really hot so the sce...

Lil Nas X Cries Foul After Tony Hawk Skateboard Painted With His Blood Sells Out With No Outrage
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: MSCHF / MSCHF Lil Nas X has an excellent case here when it comes to the outrage on the internet. In March, conservative snowflakes and so-called bible thumpers were up in arms when Lil Nas X announced he was teaming up with MSCHF for a pair of limited edition Nike Air Max 97 sneakers dubbed the “Satan Shoes,” that contained a drop of blood in the air unit. Nike would eventually take the openly gay artist and MSCHF to court, slapping them with a hypocritical lawsuit, and the judge sided with the sport’s apparel company forcing them to buy back all pairs of the kicks. At the time, everyone spotted the jig because MSCHF sold a pair of the same sneakers but in white, calling them the “Jesus Shoes” because they shared a drop of holy water in the air unit. Ther...
Kanye West’s New DONDA Stem Player Puts Music Production In The Palm of Your Hands
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Kevin Mazur / Getty Kanye West might be on to something here. The rapper, who might be known as just Ye if he has his way, is currently on tour across the country playing an album his fans can’t even get their hands on. While all this is going on, West continues to express his interest in the tech world. The embattled rapper’s tech branch of his YEEZY company unveiled its new Donda Stem Player that will allow users to “customize any song,” basically turning any regular old joe into a music producer. According to The Verge, Ye’s website states the device will cost $200 and will allegedly ship sometime this “Summer” with his album DONDA. So basically, we’re not holding our breath till we see this thing in the hands of actual people. As far as the specs...
Bodega Reveals Their Own Milkcrates Amidst #MilkCrateChallenge Craze
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: @Bodega / Inastagram As painful as they’ve been to watch, the milkcrate challenge has produced gut-wrenching and face-scrunching comedy and because of that has taken social media by storm. Now it seems like the Boston-based brand and retailer Bodega has gotten some milkcrates of their own and it’s not only branded with their “Bodega” logo, but also the Nike emblem. Wait, Nike getting in on this?! Maybe that’s why they gave their offices worldwide the day off because they know this could go horribly bad. We’re not sure if Bodega’s going to be holding their own milkcrate challenge as a means of giving customers a chance to get a pair of sneakers, but best believe if the kicks in question are some Jordans or Yeezy’s, heads will be accepting the challenge jus...
