Today marked the birthday of Grammy nominated rapper Allan Kingdom and the release of his new project, Northern Lights. And the Minnesota native couldn’t have celebrated his day of birth in any better way as the new tape is his first major solo project in years, as well as his first since his 2014 self-titled efforts with his group, thestand4rd. Top to bottom, thestand4rd is one of the most talented emerging collectives in rap music today and Kingdom may be the most talented of the group.

From working with Kanye West (on ‘All Day’) to some of our local favorites like WebsterX, and of course his work with thestand4rd, the rapper/producer definitely knows who to work with and his exciting new project is no exception, as it has features from D.R.A.M. and Gloss Gang and executive production from Plain Pat, known best for his work with Kanye West and Kid Cudi.

While the highly album was met with mixed reviews, Travis Scott’s debut album Rodeo is one of our favorite projects of 2015. Already people are looking back at the ‘Antidote’ rapper’s debut, and recognizing that it was underrated upon it’s initial released. And while Rodeo gets better with each listen, you may not have to wait too long until fans get another new album from Travis Scott.

Minutes ago, producer Mike Dean posted a Snapchat with Travis Scott, where Scott announced that a new album was “on the way”. Snapchat may not be the most official forum to make such a huge announcement, but either way, it’s time to get excited as we can’t even imagine what Travis Scott has in store for his next project.

Watch Travis Scott’s announcement on Mike Dean’s Snapchat here and check out Scott’s upcoming tour dates with Rihanna below.

It’s been a long time since we have been blessed by Lord Yeezus, but just before the end of 2015 Kanye West surprised us all and released a new track. The surprise record, titled ‘Facts’, is rap directed at Nike, over a re-work of Drake and Future’s ‘Jumpman’. While we still are very patiently awaiting Kanye’s forthcoming and highly anticipated album Swish, this should tide us over for awhile (hopefully not too long though).
