Top Dawg Says Kendrick Lamar, Ab-Soul & Jay Rock Projects Are “Coming Soon”

    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. Oxymoronwhich 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?”

        so who needs to go back to the drawing board? STOP DICKRIDING!!!

        Kendrick will sell… sadly everyone else won’t

      2. 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?

    2. mother earths a bitch, she got a glitch
      im fucking her, while rubbing her clit
      shes sucking my dick, i hope she swallow dont spit
      else not her il have to hit, so fucking hard
      she’ll be starring up at the stars, im colder then pluto
      these other rappers, only colds as mars
      and il still be down on earth here killing these bars
      im sicker then sars, deadlier then cancer
      but i still get under them bra’s
      it goes here i am and here il be
      the insane mother fucker, from the west country
      im hungry, i feel alife, mess with me
      il have you wishing you comited suicide
      cause i aint here to survive, im here to live
      forbid, i dont forgive, nor dwell, may be big headed
      but my brain swell, while my brain cells
      try to figure out, if this is heaven or hell, still cant tell
      i be family guy, remember the time
      i met the provit Muhammad and gave him a hot dog
      he sucked the pork threw his gob, like he was giving a blow job
      im a nob, fuck god, jesus, my bitch im always on top

      call me Mr, no Master, got more rhymes then dizaster
      il blast ya, into orbit, im morbid, when out with a fat girl call me Norbit

    3. 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.

    4. 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

      1. Maybe there are only 16 replies because this was a non-story that didn’t provide any new information about any of the releases.

    5. 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.

      1. Rock’s association with Strange is wack.

        He would be much better without them and their wack musical influence.

    6. “schoolboy q did sell though, anything over 100k first week is great”

      I wouldn’t say great. Try respectable.

    7. Start working from home! Great job for students, stay-at-home moms or anyone needing an extra income… You only need a computer and a reliable internet connection… Make $90 hourly and up to $12000 a month by following link at the bottom and signing up… You can have your first check by the end of this week…….http://x.co/48CYu

    8. I’m tired of seeing this nigga in that same generic ass 5x polo. Hiphopdx…..get a new photo!!!!!!!!!

    9. “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.

    10. 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?
