Russ – Zoo

One of the most polarizing artists in Hip-Hop has returned with an official follow-up to his debut, There’s Really A Wolf. Below lies Russ‘ sophomore album Zoo, which contains 12 tracks and additional appearances from Scott Storch, Rick Ross, Snoop Dogg and Mahalia.

G Perico – Guess What?

One of the West Coast’s most authentic artists is back with some fire for the Summer’s end. G Perico delivers Guess What?, a 7-track cruise with few additional appearances (only Kalin.FrFr and Garren make the cut).

Stream below, alongside a new visual for “All Nighter.” It’s also a precursor to more from the L.A. emcee, which I hope will come sooner than later.

Estelle – Lovers Rock

Estelle is back with a new album titled Lovers Rock, and — as the title may suggest — the British singer has decided to incorporate Reggae, Dancehall and more for a conceptual work of art that tells a beautiful story of her parent’s cinema-worthy relationship. She doesn’t tell it alone, either: Kranium, Maleek Berry, Luke James, Konshens, Chronixx, Alicai Harley and more provide assistance on the 14-track offering.

Joey Purp – QUARTERTHING

All talent aside, the fact that Joey Purp has RZA and GZA two separate tracks makes this a surefire listen alone. With that said, the Chicago emcee keeps the SAVEMONEY train moving with his new album QUARTERTHING, which — in addition to the Wu-Tang assists — sees appearances from Ravyn Lenae, Cdot Honcho and more.

YoungBoy Never Broke Again – 4Loyalty

This year, YoungBoy Never Broke Again has certainly come into his own as one of the most talented (and transparent) artists of Hip-Hop’s new generation. For the past couple of weeks, the Louisiana artist has delivered two quality EPs: 4Freedom and, alongside Kevin Gates, 4Respect. Now, he keeps the momentum going with 4Loyalty, four new tracks that see appearances from Quando Rondo and Young Thug. Vibe to it below.

Mila J – August 2018

A bit late with this one, but worth it nonetheless: Mila J is another artist who has been quietly creating dope music on a monthly basis. For his latest, she drops August 2018, which comes with 5 tracks and a single assist from MIGH-X. Enjoy below.

Berner – RICO

Berner is back with a new album titled RICO, his second offering this year following The Big Pescado. As with its predecessor, RICO contains a slew of artists and friends: (Taylor Gang affiliates) Wix Khalifa and Ty Dolla $ign, Curren$y, DJ Quik, Kevin Gates, Young Buck (who is not having his best week ever), Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Styles P, DJ Paul, Cam’ron and loads more. Light one up and press play below.

Masego – Lady Lady

Virginia-based artist Masego (finally!) delivers his debut album, Lady Lady. The 14-track release was led by singles “Tadow,” “Old Age” and “Queen Tings”; additional appearances include SiR, FKJ, Sounwave, Ari Lennox and more.

YBN Nahmir, YBN Almighty Jay & YBN Cordae – YBN: The Mixtape

The Young Boss N***as movement continues to build, the next big moment being the below mixtape, led by current YBN frontrunners Nahmir, Almighty Jay and Cordae. Add in additional features from Chris Brown, Wiz Khalifa, Machine Gun Kelly, Cuban Doll and Asian Doll, and you have a solid compilation-style offering that should get plenty of play during cooler months. Check it out below.

LD – The Masked One

67‘s LD (arguably the group’s most popular member) has decided to step out on his own, dropping a new project titled The Masked One. The 8-track offering also sees additional appearances from Tiggs Da Author, Dizzy Rascal (!), Young Adz and more.

Presumably because both artists are now on the West Coast, cannabis connoisseur-slash-slept-on-artist Berner connected with Louisiana emcee Kevin Gates on the new track “Light Show.” Hopefully, this cut — produced by Cozmo — serves as a proper precursor to the Taylor Gang affiliate’s Big Pescado follow-up.

The Sick Wid It boys aren’t playing when it comes to this music. Not too long ago, Droop-E gave us a slapper, “I Do What I Want,” and now he’s back with “Give Me a Light.” This time he has his pop (and the homie) E-40 with him, alongside ProHoeZak and Berner.

With two videos/singles out you know what usually comes next, an album. Droop-E’s next album, Trillionaire Thoughts is going to be an unforgettable one, especially with all the amazing producers and features:

Trillionaire Thoughts will be available 11/17/2017 with production from Droop-E, Rick Rock, and Traxxamillion. Plus, features from E-40, Nef The Pharaoh, and many more. – Droop-E

Also, a round of applause must go out to the director of the video, David Dutten, for shooting an epic clip.

Berner and B-Real open up the visual for “FTB” with gritty, black and white visuals overlooking domineering vistas; a set that could very well be the landscape for an anthem about anything hip-hop. Instead, the two artists take their talents and instead rap about a trending topic in contemporary media, and will most likely continue to be one: marijuana, and its legalization.

The song comes straight off of Prohibition 3, and, keeping the tradition alive in the third part of the now trilogy, is creating sonic highs for the eardrums and ensuring that the listeners remains enthralled in a smoker’s heaven. “FTB” or “For the Bud” celebrates marijuana and its popularity over a smooth instrumental with lazy, hypnotizing, 808s blessing the ears and mentals of whoever the lucky person listening is.

Throughout the video, Berner & B-Real stand on top of rooftops to symbolize their connection with the top tier hip-hop musicians, and lounge around heaps and heaps of their drug of choice. Only professionals can make consistent smoker’s anthem such as these.

Follow Berner on Twitter & Instagram, and B-Real on his Twitter & Instagram to keep posted on more anthems from the duo.

The Duck Down Records latest signee Chelsea Reject has had a lot of changes in her life in the past couple of months. Fresh from inking with Buckshot’s independent label, Reject has been busy opening up for Jay Electronica at the A3C Festival and opening on a couple of dates of the The Smokers Club Tour alongside Method Man & Redman, B-Real (of Cypress Hill), Berner and Mick Jenkins.

It’s been a long way coming for Chelsea Reject’s career. I first caught wind of the Brooklyn-bred MC in early 2011 at a Lyve Life showcase Dyme-a-Duzin used to put together, and she’s been bubbling ever since.

Three years later, her latest video “Everything’s Change” is setting up the release of her full-length project “CMPLX” due sometime this year. The video itself has a real spacey vibe to its aesthetic, the smooth jazz instrumental blends well with Chelsea’s laid-back flow as she spits about all the changes going around her including friends, passion, and the desire for artistic growth. Here’s what Reject had to say about the video:

“Everything’s Change” is about life and seasons and how “change” is the only consistent thing I know. Somehow it’s still the same shit.

Check out the latest visual and let us know what you think!
