Ski Mask The Slump God fans rejoice: the Florida star has delivered his debut album, Stokeley. The project clocks in at 13 tracks with appearances from Juice WRLD, Austin Lam, Lil Baby and Lil Yachty.

Lil Baby – Street Gossip

More of the same high quality tunes from one of Atlanta’s biggest current Hip-Hop stars. Today sees a new release from Lil Baby titled Street Gossip, which sees 13 tracks and appearances from Meek Mill, 2 Chainz, Gucci Mane, Young Thug, Gunna, Offset and more.

KAYTRANADA – Nothin Like You/Chances

First, you’ll be happy to hear that KAYTRANADA will have his official follow-up to 99.9% sometime next year. In the meantime, he’s holding his fans over with his new EP titled Nothin Like You/Chances, which is essentially 3 new cuts and a couple of instrumentals to enjoy. Check out the Canadian producer’s appetizer below.

Earl Sweatshirt – Some Rap Songs

It’s been three years since Earl Sweatshirt delivered I Don’t Like S***, I Don’t Go Outside, and he’s been rather dormant (save for the festival circuit) since. Now, the Odd Future alum returns with a new project titled Some Rap Songs, of which some of those Rap songs are striking given the family-oriented subject matter (his mother, Cheryl Harris, and late father, South African poet Keorapetse Kgositsile, makes appearances on the album). Essentially, this is progressive Hip-Hop at its finest.

The Alchemist – Bread EP

Following some amazing collabs with Wiz Khalifa, ScHoolboy Q, Curren$y and others, the legendary Alchemist is back with a short trip EP of his own titled Bread (would love to hear the explanation for the title and artwork). The release sees 8 tracks (four songs and their accompanying instrumentals) and additional appearances from Conway, Earl Sweatshirt, Black Thought and Roc Marciano. Vibe to Al’s latest below.

[SIDEBAR: It just dawned on me: he dropped Lunch Meat earlier this year. Duh.]

Los Unidades – Global Citizen – EP 1

First off: Coldplay has changed their name to Los Unidades, for some reason. Second, they’ve teamed up with Global Citizen (I guess) to deliver a new four song EP, the first of many volumes which sees assistance from Stormzy, WizKid, Pharrell Williams, David Guetta and more. Check it out below.

Meek Mill – Championships

Last but not least: Meek Mill arrives with his new album Championships, which sees 19 tracks and appearances from Jay-Z, Rick Ross, Fabolous, Ella Mai, Kodak Black, 21 Savage, Jeremih and more. Not much else to say expect to press play below.

Being the current video game craze right now, it’s only right for someone to honor it with a Hip-Hop twist.

Enter Murda Beatz: the super-producer has connected with new generation Rap stars Yung Bans, Ski Mask The Slump God and Lil Yachty for the new single “Fortnite.” Check it out below.

As with every year, XXL Magazine has released their ‘Freshman’ list of artists that are leading the new wave of Hip-Hop…and (as it has been every year) I feel exponentially older each time. There are a few that I definitely do enjoy: J.I.D. is definitely there to satisfy more traditional Hip-Hop fans, while BlocBoy JB and the Floridian trio (Smokepurpp, Lil Pump and Ski Mask The Slump God) have legit bangers that are hard to avoid. Big shout out to the British-repping Stefflon Don — a huge inclusion on said list given how the likes of Stormzy and J Hus (and older dons like Skepta) have been tragically overlooked.

Anyways, check out the full cover below. Plenty more hilarious freestyles and cyphers to come, for sure.

SIDEBAR: I can’t help but notice that there are only 9 this year…did 6ix9ine lose another opportunity due to his penchant for trouble (hence the “We Got Clout” sub-header)?

Do not sleep: Florida emcee Ski Mask The Slump God is just as much about his lyricism as he is the turn up — so much in fact, he attracted the attention of the legendary Timbaland (the two have been putting in work in the studio). Following some hints/teases via social media, Ski Mask delivers one such Timbo collab titled “With Vengeance,” a beautifully-dark cut that features assistance from a shine-stealing Offset (the Migos‘ member has been shutting down features lately).

Check it out below. If Ski Mask’s forthcoming project is anything like “With Vengeance,” the masses are in for one hell of a treat. If you missed them, you can also check out his latest tracks “Achoo!” (alongside Keith Ape) and the Lil Yachty and A$AP Ferg-featured “No Tilt.”

The Cole Bennett-directed clip matches the intensity of the head-banging cut (produced by Neighborhood Watch and Jimmy Duval), which the two artists being “treated” at a hospital by a beautiful doctor/nurse…the special effects brings everything together. Expect this track to create moshpits when either artist (or both) perform this on-stage.

Enjoy “Achoo!” above.
