It really has been 9 years since we last heard Trina on her fifth album Amazin’; now, the Miami Rap veteran is back with a new body of work titled The One, which sees 15 new tracks and a slew of assists from peers old and new (DJ Khaled, 2 Chainz, Nicki Minaj, Lil Wayne, Plies, Boosie Badazz, Dave East, Rico Love, K. Michelle and more make notable appearances). Check out the latest from the self-proclaimed ‘baddest b***h’ below.

Lil Nas X – 7

Lil Nas X. A name that’s pretty much taken over music in its entirety thanks to the massive success of the runaway Country-versial hit “Old Town Road” (and its Billy Ray Cyrus-assisted remix). Now, the Atlanta star looks to keep his momentum going with 7, an EP presumably named for its number of tracks. In addition to the aforementioned remix, the project also sees another collaboration with “Rodeo,” which features Cardi B.

Check it all out below, along with visualizers for “Panini” (which — fun fact — samples Nirvana) and “Kick It.”

Youngs Teflon – Tears

Youngs Teflon’s new project fully comes together this weekend. Last week and the week prior saw the release of two EPs, Blood and Swagg, which turned out to be two thirds of a fully body of work titled Blood, Swvgg & Tears, which — with the obvious addition of Tears — is now available in full for your enjoyment. Altogether, you get 16 tracks and a single feature from fellow Londoner Avelino (“Juice”). Check it out below.

Gucci Mane – Delusions Of Grandeur

Even with a lesser output these days, Gucci Mane has continued to deliver a consistent level of tunes since 2005’s “So Icy.” His latest attention to the collection has arrived in the form of Delusions Of Grandeur, which acts as the Atlanta rapper’s fourteenth official album (and not his 105th like I had guessed). Features on the 18-track offering include DJ Drama, Peewee Longway, Wiz Khalifa, Lil Uzi Vert, Rick Ross, Young Dolph, Justin Bieber, Lil Baby, Gunna, Meek Mill and more. Check it out below, along with a visual for “Proud Of You.”

Comeback king Tyga looks to transfer the success of his chart-topping singles into a full-length LP. Titled Legendary, the West Coaster’s seventh album comes with fourteen new tracks and appearances from Offset (“Taste,” which should help the album fare well with streaming sales immediately), Gunna, Swae Lee, Chris Brown, Lil Wayne, Blueface and more. Press play below.

Future – Save Me

After getting 2019 started with The WZRD, Future delivers more music to his fans in the form of his Save Me EP, which sees seven new tracks and zero features. Judging from the immediate response, it sounds like the Atlanta veteran has taken a more emotionally-charged route in the vein of his collaborator homie Drake. See for yourself below.

MoStack – Stacko

This one was definitely highly-anticipated. Across the pond, London’s MoStack delivers his debut album Stacko, which follows 2017’s High Street Kid project. Features on the 12-track project include peers Fredo, Stormzy, Dave and J Hus (the latter two appear together with MoStack on the track “Stinking Rich.”

Check out the new release below, along with the visuals for the Stormzy-assisted “Shine Girl.”

Domani – Time Will Tell

Truth be told, Domani Harris is definitely showcasing a dope talent of his own, separate from that of his father, T.I. Today, he continues to deliver his own brand of music in the form of Time Will Tell. The project sees fourteen tracks, with contributions from The Olympicks, DaVionne, Lexi Alön and more. Press play below.

Tee Grizzley – Scriptures

I don’t know how the hell this happened, but the fact that Tee Grizzley managed to get a whole album produced by Timbaland tells me that we need to refocus on the Detroit star and pay attention. Today, we get to check out that collaboration, titled Scriptures, which sees fourteen tracks and additional features from A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie and YNW Melly. Take a listen below.

Prince – Originals

Released exclusively through TIDAL, the Prince estate delivers Originals — a collection of original Prince cuts that ended up becoming hits for artists like Sinéad O’Connor (“Nothing Compares 2U”), Morris Day & The Time (“Jungle Love”) and more.

Press play below. Random sidebar: how the hell did we miss this?

Youngs Teflon – Blood

South London Rap veteran Youngs Teflon delivers a new EP titled Blood, which sees six feature-free tracks for fans to enjoy. Stream below, along with a visual for “Broken Safety.”

J Spades – MMMP4

I don’t think that any given mixtapes series has had a stronger hold on road Rap in London than J Spades‘ More Money More Pagans collection. Today, he delivers a fourth installment, which sees 13 new tracks and appearances from Uncle Murda, Donae’O and more. Press play on the Hackney veteran’s latest below.

Rap veteran Young Teflon is always consistent with his music, so when he delivers a new project, it’s a must listen. Case in point: the prolific artist dropped off a new EP titled South London Press, a six-track work of art and sees appearances from (67‘s) Dimzy, Blade Brown, S1Loud and K-Trap. Expect to play this one back as soon as it’s finished.
