Scientists don’t have any love for Pluto. Future does. Out of everywhere that made it into the XXL Freshmen ’12 class, I was not expecting Future to drop his album first. Pluto is dropping April 17. I’m sure we’ll be in for an out of this world experience. Appearances from T.I., Drake, R. Kelly, Juicy [...]

In one month and two days, Nicki’s sophomore effort will be gracing shelves worldwide. Here’s your first glimpse at the cover. Hmm. Interesting? It’s like Barbie, Avatar, a four year old (for the background) and Nicki Minaj collaborated. Update: Nicki’s deluxe edition for her sophomore effort gets a new cover. Peep that after the cut. [...]

Forty Water is going to be doing something incredible on March 26. Not one, not two but three albums will be hitting the shelves.

Real G music, show some respect. Killer Kill from the Ville whips up one hell of a first single for his upcoming album, R.A.P. Music, with El-P. This is like a southern fan’s dream right here. Mike really went off! Trouble only does the hook but I think he would’ve went in on a verse. [...]

Wow! K.R.I.T.’s cover is crazy dope. The upcoming mixtape 4Eva N A Day is more than likely going to be a grat all round project from K.R.I.T. judging from his past work. We will all get chance to find out on February 20th. His first single “I Got This” is due out later today. Check [...]

A lot of us have been waiting for this moment. Bow Wizzle doesn’t disappoint at all! The production names look solid and the features look placed right with no overload. Man, Underrated is ’bout to be a good effort. I guess Dr. Dre wouldn’t clear the record he did for Bow. Underrated in stores and [...]
