You would think since Lil B and Lana Del Rey are so different, that the two could never be connected. Wrong.

After a number of music’s big names were touring or recording for the majority of last year, which made 2014 fairly average for album releases, 2015 is already looking to be a great year for albums as those artists release their new projects this year.

Check out our list of the 30 most anticipated albums of 2015 to get updated on what releases you need to look out for in the next 12 months.
