Is it common to pronounce hundred as 'hunnid', esp in slang? I heard a phrase, "Keep it one hunnid."

This is a more common sloppy pronunciation that Americans tend to do, but generally other English speakers don't tend to. For example, I can't really think of any British accents that would say "hundred" in a way that sounds like "hunnid".

There are some combinations of sounds that occur in English that are genuinely difficult to pronounce carefully--they require a lot of quick tongue movement. They are often blurred in rapid, casual, or sloppy speech. These are all just examples of bad diction or mispronunciation: In "Hundred," the d-r transition is difficult, so it comes out as "hunnerd" or "hunn'd." "Library" is another--the b-r is difficult, and often the word is pronounced "Liberry." "February" is another; it is very common, but simply incorrect, to say "Febuary." It is so common that it is often misspelled "Febuary." (Here, there is a tendency to assume it should rhyme with "January.") "Nuclear" is famously difficult; former U.S. President George W. Bush and many, many, many other mispronounce as "Nucular." "Ophthalmogist" is difficult--all of the words with "phth" are difficult--and is frequently mispronounced and misspelled "Opthalmologist." "Naturally" becomes "Natcherly."

But to be serious, "hunnid" is mostly used to refer specifically to 100 dollar bills. There is the term, "throwin hunnids". "keep it one hunnid" is a specific phrase used to mean, "keep it real": so, staying true to your convictions.

So one hunnid in this context is actually 100%, not 100.
