It’s always a Good Friday when we have a release date like this.
New Music Friday has delivered a long-awaited sequel to Wiz Khalifa‘s classic blog era mixtape Kush & Orange Juice, which will take more than a few fans back to their teenage years.
There are also new EPs from Westside Gunn and Lupe Fiasco if you prefer your Hip Hop more lyrical, while Swizz Beatz oversees a star-studded soundtrack celebrating the fourth season of Godfather of Harlem.
Other fresh new offerings include the world’s most obese rapper Dave Blunts dropping his first album, a collaborative project from Texas titans That Mexican OT and Sauce Walka and more heat from the West Coast courtesy of Mozzy and G Perico.
