Thus far, there are only two huge releases to prep for this week. You never know in the age of the surprise album, but here’s what is on track to come out thus far.

Iridescence by Brockhampton – September 21

Brockhampton’s went through some shit lately because of Ameer Vann and the domestic abuse allegations placed against him. But besides the negative energy brought to them because of the debacle, the group’s been on the backburner for quite a while. Iridescence looks to change that, bringing the world something new since last year’s Saturation 3.

Tha Carter 5 by Lil Wayne – September 21

Yes, you read that headline right. Lil Wayne’s fifth installment of Tha Carter series finally comes out this Friday. The legal situation with Birdman has finally been wrapped up. Wayne can focus on the music that he’s been stowing away for years. If Swizz Beatz’s “P.O.M.S. (Pistol On My Side)” is any indicator, it looks like Wayne hasn’t missed a step either.

This upcoming week for music looks to be pretty barren, save for any suprises. Remember how, in August, and, to some degree, June as well, it felt like everyone was releasing on top of each other? This made for exciting times, seeming as if the listener never knew what to expect. But now, the summer’s winded down. And, with it, the surplus of fresh tunes. Here’s what’s coming out this week, thus far.

East Atlanta Love Letter by 6lack – Sept 14

6lack just unveiled the second wave of promotion for his upcoming album via customized postcards; lucky fans will get them and will be asked to answer a simple question – “what is your definition of love?” This level of detail and creativity shows that East Atlanta Love Letter will be something legendary. 6lack’s been pretty quiet, now we’re going to see just what he’s been working on. The 25-year-old musician’s mesmerizing vocals are some of R & B’s best.

Harverd Dropout by Lil Pump – Sept 14

From bullshitting on SoundCloud, to being Kanye West’s creative anchor for his new single. Lil Pump has come such a long way in a short period of time. It looks like this week will finally yield Harverd Dropout, the highly anticipated follow-up to his self-titled debut. Lets hope that its more of what he gave Kanye and less of the earwormy rap boilerplate found in “Gucci Gang” and “Esketit.”

Now, time for our weekly wrap up of our favorite videos to hit this week.  Peep below:

Another hard-hitting  jam from Risktaker D-Boy, this time with the vocals of AllStar JR. A dismal love ode, their latest is further proof that, when it comes to Detroit rap, the two have the game on lock. Their intimate conversation makes for the perfect video backdrop.

Give it up for Icewear Vezzo, one of the realest that’s back doing the damn thing. His new single “Big Ice” is the kind of swaggering hit that he’s known for. The visual is full of nice locales and beautiful cars that’ll push you to get on his level.

This slow-paced trap banger is a nice change of pace from the more energetic music that we consume. “No Help” is beautiful; TGE TrapBaby and Peezy do their thing with smooth flows that sound at home.

Bagboy knows how to do his thing with impactful melodies that make the frenetic production he frequents all the more lively. “Big Dawg” is the kind of jam that you’ll continuously run back.

There’s next to no one with a flow like Selfmade Kash. His confidence makes each outing sound like a confident seeress is reading the future. His latest, “Old Sauce,” further makes a case for him being one of Detroit rap’s best.
