Machine Gun Kelly may be riding with a new mixtape EST 4 Life this week, but it’s only to drum up anticipation for his album. MGK is prepping a release for his big Bad Boy debut Lace Up on October 9th. A week after that we’re getting some Pac Div love with GMB on October 16th. While Curren$y doesn’t have a release date for his next album, he does have a title and it’s Immaculary. A$AP Mob has a title too, Lords Never Worry. Their album is coming August 28th. We’ve been hearing rumblings from the dungeon dragon Busta Rhymes about his album Year Of the Dragon and it finally has a release date. Check for that one on August 20th. Good news – it’s a free album!

FUCKIN DEVIL WORSHIPPERS
Slim the Mobster – S.O.O.N. (Something Out Of Nothing)
You mean he’s releasing a project!? Just as he go at 50! What a coincidence…
Slaughterhouse – welcome to: Our House
Having seen the tracklist and hearing what producers are going to be on the album it looks like it’s gonna be like a Recovery/Radioactive situation some bangers mixed with some commercially accessible Hip Hop. Not what I ideally wanted as a Slaughterhouse fan but it might be a step in the right direction for Hip Hop stating that “look you can make commercially accessible Hip Hop but still have lyrics and people actually rapping good” imagine that! And as Em is going to produce on the album I hope it’s some 00-03 Em production.
Blu and Exile – Give Me My Flowers While I Can Still Smell Them
No need to really explain Blu & Exile make magic when they get together I expect some soul Hip Hop. God underground hip hop is so much better than mainstream right now…
Saigon – Bread and Circuses
The Greatest Story Never Told was one of my top 10 albums of 2011 and don’t really need to hope that this will be as good because I have full confidence that Saigon will bring it once again. If there is one thing I would hope for would be a lot of Just Blaze production again and I feel he could flow well over some Pete Rock production.
G.O.O.D. Music – Cruel Summer
I would love this to have a old school Kanye soul sound all over it but from the songs I’ve heard form it so far sounds like a new Kanye sound on it which is cool hopefully it’s more My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy than Watch The Throne.
Lupe Fiasco – Food & Liquor 2: The Great American Rap Album Pt. 1
From the 2 singles I’ve heard it sounds more like the first 2 albums Lupe dropped, sonically not on a MC stand point because from that point Lupe has always delivered. Hopefully the album will have a lot of Soundtrakk production on it because they have really good chemistry together.
Kendrick Lamar – Good Kid, m.A.A.d City
From the first 2 singles I’m expecting a very good album, I’m glad he’s said the sound is going to be different form Section.80 not because I didn’t think it was a dope album in fact it was my favourite Hip Hop album of 2011 but so he’s fans don’t try and pigeon hold him in to one sound.
50 Cent – Street King Immortal
Not really a 50 fan anymore just because I haven’t liked his work so much as of late. The thing I don’t get with 50 is his choice in producers, I mean he has a shit load of money and doesn’t pick that dope a production team to work with whereas his former/current enemy Game has a much better ear for beats it’s kinda like a Nas & Jay-Z thing. I feel like if he can get some Just Blaze, Kanye West, some good production from Dr. Dre, Timbaland, The Neptunes, DJ Khalil, Cool & Dre, Sean C & LV, Scott Storch etc. it could certainly amp 50’s relevance right back up, expensive but worth it.
Big Boi – Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors
After Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty (My 2nd favourite mainstream album of 2010) I think this album will be dope as fuck as well I think Big Boi gets overlooked a lot, expected when your rhyming partner is Andre 3000 but with both of he’s album (Yes I know Speakerboxx want a solo project but it was a Big Boi album) he’s proved he can do more than just hold his own solo.
T.I. – Trouble Man
Wonder how Tip is going with this album because I haven’t heard anything commercial come from the album, hope it’s going to have the sonic sound of King (My Favourite T.I. Album) but I haven’t heard anything to really get me excited for the project, still it’s Tip.
BONE A BITCH NIGGA INSTEAD OF POSTING CRAP

^ I concur with this guy, bone a bitch nigga instead of posting lame-ass shit that no one will bother reading.
LMAO Why so mad? Y’all act like it took me more than 15 minutes to write that…
NOT EVEN 50% of the Dates mentioned are Correct. Brandy, Ne-Yo, G.O.O.D. Music just to name a few 😉
DX is dumb as fuck the artist is Lil Cuete & album is called Gunplay, everyone gone think that’s Bogota Gunplay from MMG…
