Last month, Lupe Fiasco fans were blessed as the Chicago rapper announced that he would be releasing three new albums all in 2016. Titled DROGAS, SKULLS, and ROY, all three projects (with DROGAS expected first) will keep Lupe’s fans more than happy this year, however with this good news soon came some bad news.

Taking to Twitter, Lupe announced that ROY (the third album of his upcoming 2016 trilogy) will unfortunately be his last. So while fans will get a ton of new music from the ‘Kick Push’ rapper this year, if all goes as scheduled, it will mark Fiasco’s retirement as well. This isn’t to say that Lupe will stop making music with others or will stop touring, but it certainly has left a lot of his biggest fans disappointed.

GOOD Fridays are back in 2016! And to get things back started with a bang, this week gives us two new awesome tracks from Kanye West. The new records, titled ‘Real Friends’ and ‘No More Parties in LA’ are exactly what we have been waiting for from Kanye. ‘No More Parties in LA’ also brings us a highly anticipated collaboration between Kanye and Kendrick Lamar, who first linked up when Ye invited Kendrick on his critically acclaimed Yeezus Tour.

New collabs with Sia, the return of GOOD Fridays, and headlining The Governors Ball, Yeezy season is officially back! Unfortunately though, the version of ‘No More Parties in LA’ that Kanye released on Soundclound (which has since been deleted) is just a sample, of what may be one of the best records that rap will see in 2016.

Listen to “Real Friends” and “No More Parties in LA” here.

Although New York’s premiere music festival doesn’t kick off until June, just days after Coachella announced its 2016 lineup, so has The Governors Ball. And while The Governors Ball may not have the A-list reunions that fans will see in Indio this year, where Coachella dropped the ball, the governor picked right up. Headlining The Governors Ball this year will be none other than Kanye West, which is sure to be an energetic and talked about performance, especially since Coachella and potentially Bonnaroo (if rumors are true) will have no rap headliners this year.

Kanye surely won’t be the only big name traveling to New York this summer though, as The Governors Ball has also invited huge acts like The Killers, The Strokes, Beck, Robyn, Haim, Death Cab For Cutie and more. Fans will also see a variety of supporting acts too, with performances from Father John Misty, Vic Mensa, Action Bronson, Big Grams, Circa Waves, Eliot Sumner, Gary Clark JR. Miguel, and Vince Staples to name a few.

The Governors Ball takes place June 3-5 on Randall’s Island in New York City and you can get your tickets now before they are all gone!
