The Rap album release world had a heavy Summer, and the Fall is geared to be just as big. This week sees some slow movement, with just a release from Diamond District’sOddisee dropping the instrumental album Rock Creek Park. The only track that isn’t all instrumental is “Still Doing It”
with fellow DD member yU. Last week, the third member of the District, Uptown XO dropped his free album / mixtape “Monumental II.”DJ Shadow was supposed to drop his album The Less You Know, The Better, but that has now been moved to October 4th.
Next week, Swizz Beatz was supposed to deliver Haute Living, but that date doesn’t sound like it’s holding firm. In addition, it’s rumored that Swizzy will be releasing the project on a track-by-track basis. Tha Dogg Pound’sKurupt will present The Academy while next week Cormega will be delivering his greatest hits album Mega Raw along with Jeezy’sThug Motivation 103. Jeezy just dropped his mixtape “The Real Is Back 2” in anticipation for the upcoming project. A week later, September 27th will be big, as Big K.R.I.T. will drop Live From the Underground, J. Cole’sCole World: The Sideline Story, Pusha T’sFear Of God 2: Let Us Pray, J-Live’sS.P.T.A., along with Evidence’sCats & Dogs and 9th Wonder’s The Wonder Years and Phonte’s Charity Startes At Home. Then October begins…
In the world of limbo, Mobb Deep have announced a new album, title pending via RED Distribution. Asher Roth has also announced that his album formerly titled The Spaghetti Tree will be called Is This Too Orange? Well, is it?
