Rap Release Dates: Raekwon, LL Cool J, Nicki Minaj, Big Boi

Raekwon has some heat planned in January. As 2013 begins, the Chef will drop an EP titled Lost Jewelry. A month later, LL Cool J plans to release Authentic Hip Hop on February 12th. Just as we received Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded – The Re-Up and it was met with minimal sales, Nicki Minaj announced she’ll be dropping a continuation of the project. While details are still hazy, the Nickster promises “more” from the project. Meanwhile, Big Boi just recently dropped Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors, while revealing he is ten songs deep into his next LP. He also has revealed that he is creating a project with indie Rock group Phantogram called Big Grams in 2013. While the group showed up on Vicious Lies, this one will be a total collaboration with Big Boi. 2013 sounds exciting already.
