Rap Release Dates: Jay-Z & Kanye West, Pete Rock & Smif-N-Wessun, Big Sean

    Today we finally get a dose of Bad Meets Evil. Hell: The Sequel arrives via Eminem and Royce da 5’9, after many many leaks, including recent ones “Fastlane” , “The Reunion” , and the album’s opener, “Welcome 2 Hell” . Also this week, the Random Axe project of Black Milk, Guilty Simpson and Sean Price will drop their self-titled project, which includes an ode to their manager Hex Murda titled “The Hex” . G.O.O.D. Music recruit Big Sean finally drops his Finally Famous later in the month (June 28th). After debuting the album in New York City with the help of Kanye West, Big Sean leaked a track off the album, “So Much More” , produced by No I.D.

    Nothing seems as exciting as the 4th of July though, as Jay-Z and Kanye West announced that Watch the Throne will drop on Independence Day. While the main leak off the project was the Lex Luger produced “H.A.M.” , the duo is also rumored to be working with Frank Ocean. On the R&B tip, one week prior, Jay-Z’s Mrs., Beyonce, will unveil her fourth album, aptly titled 4.

    1. Whoever wrote this article needs to be fired and HipHopDX needs to hire ME. Watch the Throne probably wont even be out til December 4th at this rate and after releasing 5 singles before the album even comes out. I have never even heard H.A.M. on the radio once and this writer thinks its gonna drop in like 3 weeks??? Albums get leaked 3 weeks before their release…where’s the leak????

      1. You can’t even write, why should they replace him for some no named douche named “PurpleFiend”? fuck outta here.

    2. DAMN… Watch the Throne in 20 days?! Seems unlikely for reasons stated in comments before me… But who knows, maybe they’re serious about it. They better put out “Lift Off” ASAP though if they wanna promote it.

    3. Big Sean Finally Famous The Album is all already out on the net in you never know about jay & kanye west i mean h.a.m hit the radios over here and Texas so you never know how that go

    4. ya’ll spoiled!!! watch the throne is coming out on july 4th. they’ve kept real secretive. Just that you internet junkies are usto shit leaking. its kanye and jay-z!! what singles do you need?? the names is enough. Expect the next single REAL SOON….

    5. Ya like weswes said its jayz and kanye they really dont need a single to be true just a word from jayz saying a album is coming july 4 would sell straight up without a single

    6. Yeah, I agree with the guys below me. I think there’s a goodchance this date is legit. I would like to see one of two things happen:

      1.) Jay and Ye will start some sort of MASSIVE promotional stunt over the next 20 days…

      OR

      2.) They will just make a statement about the album, release no cover art, finished tracklist, or single. Then on July 4th drop an EPIC album that will be histioric with nothing known except the release date up until that point.

    7. This shows me that Tha CARTER IV will not be release this summer ROyce and Em – Jigga and Yeezy Lil wayne aint going to sell million of records

    8. Watch The Throne July 4th? That Would Be The Greatest 4th Ever, But Don’t Hold Your Breath. And BTW when the Fuck Is The R.E.D. Album Dropping? It’s been almost 3 years since L.A.X., Who the fuck does Game think he Is, Nas?, Put The Fucking Album out already Game.

    9. I trust in Jay & Ye. The date chosen looks genious to me.The Lp’s gotta go platinum,at least.Should be better than Hell: The Sequel.

    10. Not too excited about Watch The Throne, why is that every producer thinks he can rap? This would be much doper if Kanye won’t appear on every track. Hope that Jigga comes through at least. The Blueprint 3 was a huge letdown after American Gangster, which was really dope.

      1. american gangster dope…u smokin yo pig’s grass…BLUEPRINT 3 is a classic….how do u go from makin a pop album to a lyrically dope album…it means for once Jigga listened to criticism like we dont need anotha legend floodin the market with bullshit..he got skills and he knows that…as for watch the throne…i think both were drunk that day wen they decided on this garbage….PETE ROCK & SMIF-N-WESSUN…DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMN

    11. bad meets evil is fuckin sick… so much better quality on the cd then all these sites… shadys finally goin on some hood beats haha

    12. Except for Jay’s first few albums when he was a new artist, Kanye & him both have never did below 400k. Hov dropped American Gangster without it having a “hit” single or even being on itunes at all. So they could definitely still move numbers if they dropped it July 4th. I still think they should drop a single, maybe peform it at the BET awards, and go on a big promotional run for it anyway though

    13. Watch the Throne is dropping on July 4th just like Movies on Demand 3 was supposed to drop today, right?

    14. now is “Watch the Throne” dropping july 4 2011? or 2012? haha motha fuckas taking FOREVERRRRRR

    15. Ca$his’ Euthanasia album doesnt even have a release date yet. it was supposed to be released last Tuesday, but nope. courtesy of Aftermath and Shady Records, where records get released late or never
