Anthony “Top Dawg” Tiffith, CEO of Top Dawg Ent., says several albums are “coming soon” from the imprint.
“@justsza Z 4.8.14, @abdashsoul ,@jayrock and @kendricklamar coming soon be patient…#TDE #0XYMORON #CilviaDemo OUT NOW,” Tiffith said in a Twitter post yesterday (March 20).
In January, Top Dawg said his TDE imprint would release six albums.
“WE RAN 2013 WITH OUT DROPPING 1 ALBUM. I WONDER WUTS GONE HAPPEN IN 2014 WHEN I DROP 6.. THEY NOT READY 4 THIS #TDE #HiiiPoWeR TAKE OVER,” he said at the time.
Isaiah Rashad’s TDE debut release, Cilvia Demo, sold 8,534 copies in its first week of sales earlier this year. Cilvia Demo received a 4 out of 5 X rating in its HipHopDX review. “One BET Hip Hop Awards Cypher rhyme is all it took to catapult Chattanooga, Tennessee native Isaiah Rashad into the mainstream consciousness,” HipHopDX said of the album. “Ultimately though, it was not a case of what he said, but who he said it with—appearing alongside the rising in Rap prominence, Top Dawg Entertainment crew—that mattered. However, it’s in recalling the moments that made us initially love another rapper (with a government name similar to Rashad’s) once known by two names—Common Sense—that makes his 14-track debut Cilvia Demo a hopeful sign for more intriguing and insightful material to come.”
ScHoolboy Q’s Oxymoron isold 138,950 copies in its first week to earn the #1 spot on the Billboard Top 200 albums chart. Oxymoron, which can be streamed here, earned the Top Dawg emcee a 3.5 out of 5 in the collection’s HipHopDX review. “In many ways, Oxymoron delivers exactly as advertised,” HipHopDX said of the album in its review. “It’s an ominous project that also needs a few radio reaches to provide ScHoolboy Q a platform to achieve mainstream success. You want a guy like Q to bring home a gold or platinum plaque, but will you endure the strategic placement of some Top 40 bait to see it happen?”

back to the drawing board again for all these wack ass rappers now in the game. nobody even needs to drop any projects no more when TDE be puttin out some real shit i swear nobody else matters fuck all o’ yall #HIIIPOWER

8,000 in the first week for Isaiah & 75% drop for schoolboy in the 2nd week
so who needs to go back to the drawing board? STOP DICKRIDING!!!
Kendrick will sell… sadly everyone else won’t
schoolboy q did sell though, anything over 100k first week is great
TDE was pretty small 2 years ago, the other members in Black Hippy are actually selling way, way more than they ever did. How is that not selling?

Godammit who let lil wayne into the comment section again!!!?
Black Hippy yeeeeee
Really looking forward to Ab-Soul’s project. Control System was phenomenal. /on top of this, we’re getting Pharoahe Monch’s album, this is turning out to be a great year for hip-hop.
PS Stop comparing who’s better and who’s taking over. You’re corny and ignorant. Music is subjective, not everyone is gonna like the same rappers you do.
who’s this nigga at the picture tho???
Did you read the article? You couldnt figure it out from that?
that’s Top Dawg right there
That’s Jay Rock. He got fat.
Should put out Kendricks next get another platinum plaque under they belts then Jay Rock that nigga is the real deal fuck wayne Tyga n these other fools false flagging sould be embaressed if u reppin a gang u have nuttin to do with
onlY 16 replies, lol the hiipower movement aint really moving now is it? SMH while im lmfao
Maybe there are only 16 replies because this was a non-story that didn’t provide any new information about any of the releases.
Maybe their fans don’t hang out all day looking for articles to comment on
only q and Kendrick on interscope
and they both wack.
Ab-Soul and Jay Rock are, too.
TDE aint got shit on Strange. Argue all you want, but if it ever comes down to it, Jay Rock better choose the right side.
Lol you wish. TDE > Strange EASILY.
Rock’s association with Strange is wack.
He would be much better without them and their wack musical influence.
ran hip hop last yr
Into the ground with boring lyrics, and fake hype.
Don’t keep us waitin, nicca. You just gonna turn they projects into Detox.
Ran 2013? lol Whatever helps you cope with Q’s flop.
oh really, he flopped now? stfu
“schoolboy q did sell though, anything over 100k first week is great”
I wouldn’t say great. Try respectable.

I’m tired of seeing this nigga in that same generic ass 5x polo. Hiphopdx…..get a new photo!!!!!!!!!
lmao at 5X
they couldn’t find any suspect lookin pics of him like they do everyone else
“sure but only 2 rappers have pulled it off this year”
That’s because only two albums have come out lol Ironically, there are no major hip hop releases in April, so Q and Ross just might get to gold.
Cilvia Demo is decent and Oxy is trash…and 2014 is half over so how you going to release 3 more albums in 6 months? I don’t believe it. All these guys were dropping mixtapes every year before 2012. Wtf you doin tony?
