TDE founder and CEO Anthony “Top Dawg” Tiffith teased fans with the label’s 2016 release schedule on Instagram today (February 29).
“Shit about to get nasty real soon,” Top Dawg captioned on a picture attached to the schedule. “I told y’all I got y’all in 2016 #TDE.”
The schedule details the stages of each TDE member’s projects and also reveals that the label has signed two additional artists under the guise of John Doe 1 and John Doe 2.
ScHoolboy Q‘s forthcoming album is currently in its sample clearing stage while Ab-Soul‘s project is being mixed.
John Doe 1, Isaiah Rashad and SZA‘s projects are in the second, third and fourth creative stages respectively.
Details for a Kendrick Lamar release are unknown as his name shows questions marks next to it and discloses the need for Top to get the Grammy-winning rapper on the phone.
Jay Rock‘s name has ER written next to it. The 90059 rapper was injured in motorcycle accident a few weeks ago and is said to be on the road to recovery, according to the TDE boss.
Additionally, the schedule hints at the possibility of a Black Hippy album in 2017.
Anthony “Top Dawg” Tiffith Instagram post revealing TDE‘s 2016 release schedule is as follows:

the best and most exciting label in hip-hop. pound for pound. bar for bar.
whatever
no ab soul? that’s some bullshit!
it says “mixing”
Soulo is Ab Soul.
damn nice call guys, i will take the L for that one lmao
I not sure about the schoolboy q hype, but I am willing to give him another chance. He really needs to come through with this album. Ab Soul is what he is. I wonder what Kendrick will come up with on his third? Possible drake diss?
After Kendrick, its Jay Rock and then Rashad, sza cool to her music is dope. I thought school boy and ab album werent good at all.
What does 2nd 3rd 4rt creative mean???
They’re working on cover art/ marketing
Just got hype… Lets goooo.. best group in HipHop Today!
Stand Up West West
Top dawq says the same thing every year. So however hes saying is dropping this year expect them not to drop this year
He’s actually been pretty consistent on saying albums are coming out and they do. Way better than any other record label. Think about their 2014. TDE dropped 4 albums so I don’t know where you get your info from. No other record label is dropping quality music at such a high rate since the death row days. Ab-soul, schoolboy, sza, and Isaiah rashad all dropped albums in 2014. Study up youngin’ before you try and drop some knowledge. Oh yeah and they released 2 great albums in 2015 and jay rocks 90059 was probably the most slept on album of the year. I’m still bumping it and I know I’m going to catch heat for this but I like it more than To Pimp A Butterfly.
Only Kendrick and Schoolboy Q get anticipation and people checking for them. The rest nobody gives a fuck about and/or have cult followings because they are associated with Kendrick.
U mad brah?
Schoolboy only one in messing wit KDOT last album didn’t move like Good Kid he changed up to much ! Q we all waiting ..
You’re too stupid to like TPAB. Stick to gimmick shit. Easier for you to process
Don’t mind him. He thinks corny ass Drake and Future are the best.
C’mon kdot,I need that shit now, if it half good as To Pimp A Butterfly its to be a classic
Shout out to the whole TDE clique! Hope they have a big year. To the fans on here lets make sure we show support when the albums drop.
ER?
Emergency Room
Seriously? Ppl out here nowadays truly amaze me.
Do they really amaze you? I know what er means in that respect but Why would you classify an album as being in the emergency room? Is it garbage and they are redoing the tracks…
this shit happens every year, every fucking year we hear this “y’all ready for TDE ? You sure you ready for us ? we bout to drop fire all six artists are droppin this year” !
Jay Rock and Kdot arent droppin anything this year, bein optimistic Q is gon release, Soulo gon release, and the third release is a tie between SZA and Isaiah.
They should’ve signed BJ The Chicago Kid 3 years ago…
