“I gotta’ make a toast for all my real niggas out there,” Stizz states in the intro. “Toast 2 That” is a ballad to all the real ones and serves as a follow-up to the City Girls-assisted track “Perfect.” Additionally, the song arrives on the heels of the release of Freddie Gibbs joint effort with Madlib, Bandana. Peep the song below.

I swear, the right combination of album releases can make some Fridays feel like straight holidays. Today is definitely one of those days:

Ralo – Free Ralo

Despite his current incarceration, Atlanta’s Ralo continues to push out music to the masses through his Famerica imprint. Following last year’s Conspiracy comes a new release titled Free Ralo, which sees 12 strong cuts and features from Young Dolph, Tee Grizzley, Shy Glizzy, VL Deck, Derez De’shon and more. Press play below.

Valee – Runnin’ Rich

Having previously dropped this at the top of the month, Chicago’s Valee re-releases his latest EP Runnin’ Rich, which now sees eight tracks over the previous version’s six. Additional features all come from fellow Chicagoans Vic Mensa, King Louie and G Herbo.

Chris Brown – Indigo

Chris Brown is back with a new album (his eighth) titled Indigo, which features enough quality music to last fans for the rest of the decade. The thirty-two track offering also sees a slew of assisting performers, including Drake, Nicki Minaj, Lil Wayne, G-Eazy, Gunna, Trey Songz, H.E.R., Tory Lanez, Tank, Justin Bieber, Tyga and more.

Expect to hear plenty of dope cuts from Indigo and all of your favorite functions this Summer.

Twista – Summer 96

The legendary Twista returns with a new project since 2017’s Crook County. Below lies Summer 96, a (presumably) nostalgic release that sees 15 tracks and appearances from Berner, (the equally legendary) Do Or Die, Bandman Kevo and more. The Chicago don is still lyrically healthy as ever.

Daniel Caesar – CASE STUDY 01

Following his seemingly-random and very ill-advised support of YesJulz (also, whatever the hell happened with Dave Chappelle), Daniel Caesar presumably opted to fall back and focus on creating some quality music for his fanbase. Today, a surprise new album arrives from the Canadian artist titled CASE STUDY 01, which sees 10 new cuts and features from Brandy, Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo, John Mayer and more.

If you haven’t cancelled him yet, feel free to press play below.

Freddie Gibbs & Madlib – Bandana

Here’s your hard-hitting Rap entry of the day: the Indiana-to-California connection that is Freddie Gibbs and Madlib created more heat rock to follow the criminally slept-on Piñata. Titled Bandana, this Hip-Hop masterpiece sees 15 new tracks from the duo and assists from fellow top-tier emcees Black Thought, Pusha T, Killer Mike, Yasiin Bey and Anderson .Paak. Whew.

Check it out below. Bandana is also the second part of a trilogy — here’s hoping that the third installment, Montana, isn’t too far in the distance.

Mustard – Perfect Ten

Last but not least, West Coast super-producer Mustard delivers his new project Perfect Ten, which — as the title suggests — sees ten quality cuts and appearances from Migos, Tyga, A$AP Ferg, A$AP Rocky, (10 Summers artist) Ella Mai, Young Thug, Meek Mill, Roddy Ricch, (longtime collaborators) YG and Ty Dolla $ign and more.

Plenty of infectious cuts to choose from below.

Curren$y, Freddie Gibbs & Alchemist – Fetti

Despite being announced early last year (January 2017), fans weren’t able to enjoy Curren$y and Freddie Gibbs long-awaited EP Fetti until today — and with the addition of The Alchemist, this will probably be the only thing I play for the remainder of the week. Enjoy the nine-track project below.

Westside Gunn – Hitler Wears Hermes 6

This is definitely one of the more interesting releases, but not just for the music (put a pin on that). Griselda Records’ own Westside Gunn follows up his Summer release Supreme Blientele with Hitler Wears Hermes 6, which sees 13 new tracks and additional appearances from AA Rashid, Benny, Nick Grant and more (no Comway?). He also delivered a message (a couple of messages, really) via social media in lieu of its release:

HITLER WEARS HERMES 6 10/31 (cover 2 of 2) aka “GUCCI MASK GUNN” I’m back on my pure BULLSHIT idgaf about none of this industry shit I’m the FLYGOD the chosen one, I been said it I do too much for the Culture not to get the respect I deserve so now im a take it GXFR is gonna take it I’ve never been more focused and that’s scary, before I sell me soul to get popular I’ll just smack a popular fuck ni55a and get popular from doing that ?⚖️?⚖️?⚖️? #ART #FASHION #theALMIGHTY brought to life by the homie @ellmatik ??????

A post shared by FLYGOD (@westsidegunn) on Sep 26, 2018 at 1:40pm PDT

Adding in the fact that the album is only available via Westside Gunn’s website (until November 9th), it makes me wonder: how is the relationship with Shady Records right now?

BlocBoy JB – Don’t Think That

Before the year closes out, Memphis star BlocBoy JB follows up the well-received SIMI with a 7-track EP titled Don’t Think That, which sees additional appearances from Lil Uzi Vert and Hoodrich Pablo Juan. Of course, producer Tay Keith — who’s probably most responsible for BlocBoy’s success, aside from his dancing — also contributes to the project.

Fans of Freddie Gibbs‘ new album Freddie will love his latest visual for “Automatic,” which brings us into The Uncle Fred Show, classic sitcom-style. The clip sees ‘Uncle Fred’ caring for Gibbs’ son over a pretty awesome weekend, complete with an impromptu dance party alongside a couple of young ladies. Check it out above.
