Travis Scott got us all counting down the days, when he released his best project to date, with Day Before Rodeo, a prequel of sorts for his debut album, simply titled Rodeo. While we didn’t know just how many days we would have to wait, they are finally winding down as the LP is scheduled to drop in just about a couple weeks (September 4th). And now, to increase that hype, Scott has shared the albums official cover art. Displaying possibly the dopest action figure ever created, La Flame’s Rodeo cover is lit (pun intended of course)!
Lana Del Rey surprised her fans today as she took to Instagram this morning to reveal the tracklist for her forthcoming album, Honeymoon. The highly anticipated follow-up to Ultraviolence will be available for pre-order starting tomorrow, August 21st, and you can look out for the album when it hit shelves next month on September 18th. Lana put out one of the year’s best albums with Ultraviolence, so we are excited to see how she follows such a critically acclaimed project.
While Childish Gambino (Donald Glover) usually gives his fans a steady flow of new music, it seems like it has been a minute since his last project, STN MTN/Kauai. It’s not at the point where any bit of new content, for any of Glover’s multiple endeavors, gets us excited. We are awaiting new music, he is working on his Atlanta TV show with FX, and next on the docket is Glover’s appearance in the upcoming Matt Damon film, “The Martian.” In the film, directed by Ridley Scott, Glover plays the role of Rich Purnell, a nerdy anti-social NASA employee, and you can watch his portrayal when the film hits screens on October 2nd.
For being the most hyped about rapper with the least amount of music out (and no new music/projects in a very long time), Jay Electronica is really feeling himself. And during a recent performance at the XOYO in London, the Roc Nation signee called out the whole rap game, specifically Drake and label-mate J. Cole. “You (Drake) may be the 6 God, but I am thee God,” Jay Electronica announced to the crowd. “I’m sorry, but J. Cole don’t got bars like this. Whoever your favorite rapper is, they all know I’m the God!” It will be interesting to see if anyone responds to Jay’s confidence on this, and hopefully Jay puts out a diss record so his fans can get so much anticipated new music.
Watch Jay Electronica call out the whole rap game below.
