For a while there, it was looking like no new albums were going to be announced. All of the dates were locked, nothing was really pushed back, and it was merely a game of hurry up and wait. This week, though, we have some announcements of projects, some pushbacks, but generally it’s all good news. Starting with today. Tech N9ne surprised us that he’d be dropping his EP titled Klusterfuck. Tech mentioned this one over the Summer, but now it’s a reality. Not too many tracks, but that’s what an EP is, right? Another EP out today is Teyana Taylor’s The Misunderstanding Of Teyana Taylor. Let’s not get into her titling it similarly to Lauryn Hill’s epic The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill. Bow Wow’s Underrated is also out today.
Stalley finally hit 50k on Twitter, so he announced that his album Savage Journey To the American Dream would be arriving March 30th. He also provided the cover art. Ten days prior, though, Hieroglyphics’ Pep Love moved Rigmarole to March 20th. Snoop Dogg dropped a single last week “Stoner’s Anthem” off Reincarnation that is supposed to get a release date very soon. Everyone’s new favorite Azealia Banks announced her debut album Broke With Expensive Taste will arrive sometime in September. Meanwhile, Kardinal Offishall will be collaborating with producer Nottz on a project called A.M.T.R.I.M. (Allow Me To Reintroduce Myself), along with Murs and Fashawn who announced a double-EP project going on. Not too many official dates to mark on the iCal, but enough to definitely look forward to.

Tech’s EP has been locked in to this day for quite some time. I preordered mine at least a month ago. not much of a surprise… seems like someone isnt doing their job.
cant forget:
dizzy wright – smoked out conversations 4/20
Its funny how people try to defend Tch9ne… thats dudes one satanic clown
i suppose you are one of those old timers that thought rock and roll was devil music when it first came out.
have you ever listened to Tech? listen to Devil Boy. actually take the time to understand the lyrics, though its probably over your head.
Damn bow wow dropping a album today. I know niggas wasnt checking for him, but damn! How you on the most commercialize record label and not get a buzz or promotion. This nigga is officially tax write off status
Cant wait for Exuse My French to drop so that fag can hurry up and belly flop on the charts hard then him and his shitty dull simple ass lyrics and him can finally disappear straight up!!
MC Eiht Which Way Is West
How can you a respectable site and miss Chamillionaire’s EP coming out next week.
I know right? Best lyricist out by far
LOL, BOW WOW’s going to out-sell Tech N9ne’s EP despite Tech’s latest BET exposure, tours etc.
And because, y’know, one is an LP and one is an EP.
Dont forget Detox!
Coming in the yr 3158
Good ish
A “Satanic Clown”? Are we really still dealing with people like this? How many times does Tech need to say he does everything for Jesus? He even prays for forgiveness every single day for all the sins he commits at his shows. I never knew a satanist would pray to God. Please correct me if I’m wrong. haha so what if a lot of Tech’s music is more aggressive than most, does that really automatically throw an artist into the Satan Worshiper category? dumbass people, his fans defend him because they know the truth and we’re tired of hearing ignorant comments like that from people who know nothing about the subject itself. Do your research before you criticize.
Klusterfuk!!! cheaaa TECH N9NE!!!!
How they gonna miss the Slaughterhouse album for May 15th? SMH.

Is this serious? How can you call yourself a hiphop blog? For example, how the hell can you put Bow Wow’s Underrated album as coming out March 13? Are you retarded? This article was posted March 13….all you would have to do to fact check this is going to itunes or look at a walmart weekly ad ???? ITS OBVIOUSLLY NOT OUT TODAAY….
A) fire your fact checker
B) don’t post dates just to post dates ie CHECK YOUR FACTS
C) this blog is wack AF
rapradar.com / 2dopeboy.com is all you need people
LOVE.
(not tryna be a hater i just get bothered by stupidity and when blogs post inaccurate stuff)
What hip hops been missing.
Apollo Brown & O.C. – Trophies Is the only album on the list worth waiting for. If the rest of the album sounds like the leak I heard, It may end up being album of the year.
Thanks for the useful information!!
