Last week made some waves with DJ Khaled’s release of We the Best Forever, delivering the usual super-duper posse cuts like “Wecome To My Hood Rmx” , along with “I’m On One” , “Money” , and “It Ain’t Over Til It’s Over’ . This week Wu-Tang Clan offers up Legendary Weapons, complete with tracks like “Laced Cheeba” , “225 Rounds” and the title track “Legendary Weapons” .

Years in the making, Jay Rock arrives with Follow Me Home. The rapper on the steady rise has been a presence for a few years now, as evidenced by his track “All My Life” with Lil Wayne and will.i.am, which dropped close to three years ago and even delivered a West Coast Mix later on. The Wu and Jay Rock share release date space with Black Rob’s Duck Down debut, Game Tested, Streets Approved. A handful of tracks from the release have leaked, including “Sand to the Beach” and the recent “Get Involved.” In addition, Illus’ For Adam and Jazz Spastiks with Junclassic’s Mode 7 also drop this week.

However, perhaps the most exciting news came when Jay-Z and Kanye West dropped the “H.A.M.” follow-up “Otis” , appearing on Watch the Throne now bumped up one day to an August 1st release. The album news arrived with a documentary to match. A week later, Gucci Mane and Waka Flocka Flame drop Ferrari Boyz in addition to Royce Da 5’9 Success Is Certain.
