Fredo Bang – In The Name Of Gee

Fredo Bang originally intended for his In The Name Of Gee project to compete with YoungBoy Never Broke Again’s Top album, but they ultimately didn’t go head-to-head on September 11. That’s probably for the best since YoungBoy’s LP debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, setting a high bar for Fredo even with Def Jam’s support.

Stalley – Speak No Blue

Former Maybach Music Group artist Stalley comes through with Speak No Blue, his second EP of 2020. The eight-track project serves as the follow-up to April’s Pariah.

Nappy Roots – 40RTY

Nappy Roots are still going strong as they inch closer to the 20th anniversary of their platinum-selling debut Watermelon, Chicken & Gritz. The group’s latest album 40RTY is executive produced by 808Blake and marks their first release since 2017’s Another 40 Akerz.

Machine Gun Kelly – Tickets To My Downfall

Machine Gun Kelly has moved away from Hip Hop for Tickets To My Downfall, a pop-punk LP produced by Travis Barker. Despite MGK’s genre switch, he still gets some help from the likes of Trippie Redd and iann dior.
