South Carolina Rapper 18veno Shot & Killed
Source: BoyMeetSpace / BoyMeetSpace 2020 was a year when rappers across the board were targeted by thieves, police and even killers, and it seems like 2021 will be continuing the trend as already the life of another young up-and-coming rapper has been cut short. According to Pitchfork South Carolina rapper 18veno was shot last night and pronounced dead by the York County Coroner’s Office in South Carolina. 18veno was only 19-years-old. The past year was a pivotal one in 18veno’s career; in 2020 he dropped the five-track R4z EP, as well as his debut project Pablo, both of which were issued by the South Carolina label BoyMeetSpace. 18veno often worked with artists native to South Carolina; Pablo includes a feature from fellow South Carolinian artist PG RA on “Cops & Robbers,” and his fre...
Master P Highlights Trion Supercars From Black Former Tesla Engineer
Source: Screenshot / Youtube Tesla and the company’s Model S vehicle is one of the most sought-after luxury vehicles in its class, and an engineer who worked on the car is set on making history. Richard Patterson, who was one of the engineers of the Model S, is now noted as the first Black owner of an exotic auto manufacturing company, and Master P highlighted Patterson’s Trion Supercars line. In a press release that went out last week, Percy “Master P” Miller and his son Romeo featured Patterson on the Master P Reviews YouTube program. Putting a focus on Patterson’s Trion Supercars Group, P and Romeo checked out the company’s 2000-horsepower Nemesis car. The Millers were so blown away by the car that they gave it a rating of 10 across the board. “I just want to let black people and minori...
Dwyane Wade Floats Idea of Starting An OnlyFans Account With Gabrielle Union
Source: Edward Berthelot / Getty Are we really that interested in what goes down in D-Wade and Gabrielle Union’s bedroom? The retired baller thinks so. Throughout the pandemic, OnlyFans has been a saving grace for many giving those cooped up and uncontrollably horny some spank material while keeping some adult content creators financially stable during the pandemic. But like any wave, eventually, celebrities have to hop on it using it as a new tool to line up their already fat pockets while trying to connect with fans by sharing risque photos or, in the case of Cardi B share BTS footage of her and Megan Thee Stallion’s hit single “WAP.” Just recently, for whatever reason, Fat Joe and his buddy DJ Khaled decided to start an OnlyFans account, and now Miami Heat legend shared with his 9.3 mil...
HHW Tech Review: Samsung’s Galaxy Buds Pro Has One New Feature That Puts It In A Class By Itself
Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz83 I loved Samsung’s Galaxy Buds+ and appreciated the follow-up Galaxy Buds Live. Now the company is kicking off the new year with the even more impressive Galaxy Buds Pro. Samsung’s clear answer to Apple’s AirPods Pro has arrived and quickly has become one of the items I HAVE TO CARRY WITH ME when I hit these socially distant streets. Design & Quality Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz83 I love two things about Samsung, the company listens to its customers and constantly learns from its previous models and applies that to new designs. That continues to be the case with Galaxy Buds Pro, with Samsung deciding to take design aspects from both the Galaxy Buds+ and Galaxy Buds Live to bring the Galaxy Buds Pro to fruition.

Watch Unearthed, Never-Before-Seen Footage of Daft Punk’s 2007 Lollapalooza Performance
Until Daft Punk reemerges from the shadows (maybe at this year’s Super Bowl?), any new footage of the legendary duo should be considered a win. A YouTube channel that broadcasts archival concert content has shared a 1.5-hour video containing never-before-seen footage from Daft Punk’s iconic 2007 set at Chicago’s famed Lollapalooza music festival. The duo cycled through a slew of their biggest hits in their performance, including “Harder Better Faster Stronger,” “Around the World,” and “One More Time,” among many others. The uploader said the source video was shared with him by a tape trader, who had seen the amateur 3-cam video of Daft Punk’s Las Vegas Vegoose 2007 set on his channel, which has since...

Source: Al Pereira / Getty We are only one battle into the 2021 and it seems Verzuz is about to level up. The founders are aiming to bring some late greats to their platform— 2Pac and the Notorious B.I.G. . Last week, Ashanti and Keyshia Cole finally faced off. Even though the event didn’t live up to the hype, Swizz Beatz and Timbaland are already looking ahead. As spotted on Hypebeast the co-creators caught up with ESPN’s Jalen & Jacoby for an interview. During the conversation the duo asked the “Roman’s Revenge” producer what would be his holy grail match; his answer took the masses by surprise. “My dream one…I want [to] figure out how to do Pac and Biggie in a way that the people are going [to] love it” he said. His partner Timbaland was on the line and quickly chimed in w...

Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz83 Chances are you going to learn something new when Jim Jones is being interview. CAPO Status is now claiming his crew contributed to Lil Wayne’s drip. As spotted on Hot New Hip Hop the Harlem native recently caught up with Tuma Basa, Director of Black Music & Culture at YouTube, as the newest installment in the #Hack3d interview series for HipHopDX.

Eminem “Higher,” BRS Kash ft. DaBaby & City Girls “Throat Baby” & More | Daily Visuals 1.25.21
Source: Nicky Nelson/WENN.com / WENN This past weekend Connor McGregor made his long awaited return to the ring at UFC 257 and though he took a SNKRS’s sized “L” at the end of the night, viewers were treated to Eminem’s latest music video. Keeping with the vibe of a big fight night, Eminem’s visuals to “Higher” featured Mrs. Mathers hooded down and getting amped up in the ring a la LL Cool J in “Mama Said Knock You Out.” If anyone didn’t know any better they’d swear this was Em paying homage to the Hip-Hop icon or something. Elsewhere DaBaby looks to keep his name ringing bells in 2021 as he hops on BRS Kash’s clip to the City Girls assisted “Throat Baby” and go through a variety of situations including piloting an airplane to snowboarding down a mountain. It’s all CGI but still looks like...
Lotus Exige, Evora, and Elise Die, But New Sports Cars Will Rise From Their Ashes
The first of Lotus’s three new sports cars will be called the Type 131, and production will begin by the end of this year at the automaker’s new production plant in Hethel, Norfolk. We all likely remember what happened at the 2010 Paris motor show, which makes skepticism toward this latest news understandable. As a refresher: six new models were promised, and not one came to fruition. The situation Lotus is in now, however, is markedly different from the Dany Bahar-era debacle and flubbed timelines. Lotus’s parent company, Geely, recently poured more than $137 million into the new Hethel production facility. That will create some 250 new jobs on top of the 670 people Lotus has already hired since 2017 (when Geely took over). In other words, Lotus already has the cash, fac...
Shambhala Music Festival to Open a Campground for Summer 2021
While festival season is still very much up in the air, Shambhala Music Festival just gave fans something to look forward to in summer 2021. In an announcement posted on the festival’s Facebook page, festival founder Jimmy Bundschuh announced that his family farm—where the festival takes place—will be open as a campground in summer 2021. While many festivals rent space to produce their event, Shambhala is in a unique position to pivot to the campground model since the owners live and work on the farm all yearlong. “I know so many people have missed being on the farm this past summer, swimming in the Salmo River, camping and relaxing in our beautiful valley,” Bundschuh wrote. “Please rest assured during 2020 the team wasn’t sitting back waiting for life to ...
