Kanye West & Kid Cudi
Kanye, having lost the responsibility for his words in an infantile manner, recorded, together with Kid Kadi, an album about how catharsis and liberation make us return to childhood. Having…

Top of the most anticipated releases of 2018 in foreign rap

The first half of the 2018th gave us a large number of large-caliber releases from leading rap players, many of whom brought their projects to the ideal for years. But in the second half of the 2018th promises to be no less (if not more) saturated with interesting albums. For example, Kanier West’s 8th longplay will be released this Friday, his joint EP with Kid Cudi will be released in a week, his latest album is scheduled for release at Childish Gambino, and long-term construction from 21 Savage, Drake and Nicki Minaj will be released in the summer. Therefore, in this article we have collected all known information about the most interesting releases of the second half of the year.
Wiz Khalifa did not release studio albums for four years, fighting off the listeners who were waiting for him with mixtapes, which, we admit honestly, were faded copies of what the artist had shown years earlier.
In the best years, Weas showed a high level, reigning on the mainstream rap scene. A strong push later gave him the video “See You Again”, which is now almost the most popular on YouTube. “Rolling Papers 2” should become such an album that decides to “pan or go away,” and in many ways the sales of this record will show the role of Wiz in the industry.
Release date: July 13
How many years have passed since Fifty released his last good album? Thinking? Here we are too. Recent years, Curtis spent in the role of instagram-pranker, promo agent of various companies and a novice crypto-investor.
This characterizes the once legendary (well, let’s say even “still legendary”) MC, but if you still believe Fifty, the picture is not so sad: you saw the rapper in the studio with Alisha Kees, Chris Brown, Skulboy Kew, Wiz Kalifa and more half a dozen famous artists. Will there be a decent comeback? We do not know, but we will definitely wait and hope, especially since Curtis said: the album will be in 2018.
Release date: unknown
Ross’s debut album called “Port of Miami” can hardly be called his best project, but at least he remains the best-selling in his discography.
Therefore, considering that Rosay’s recent albums suffered from an incredible level of their own non-binding nature and didn’t have any hit (or near-hit) tracks at all, the attempt to finally make a well-earned comeback under the title “Port of Miami II” looks overly ambitious and makes you wonder – and whether the middle-aged uncle already peremahnet that high fence that he himself has built around his work in recent years?
In any case, the appearance of this gentleman in good health will delight our editorial board, well, and the fact that his skills have never blunted can be made sure by listening to any of his guest couplets of recent years.
Release date: unknown
Let’s admit the obvious: A $ AP Ferg became a hostage to his debut album, like many famous rappers before him. Is it bad in essence? Probably not. If Trap Lord were a little less ingenious, Ferg would have remained in the same swamp with A $ AP Ant and Twelvyy for many years.
But despite not the most successful attempts to jump up to his own battened-up plank, Ferg is still trying, and judging by the latest project “Still Striving”, is on the right path. Slightly more original solutions, a little less autistic trends – and we will get Fergeshtein’s second perfect album, for the first time in five years.
Release date: unknown
Of all the aged (relatively) trap suites in recent years, 2 Chainz has been keeping up the most well done, with a substantial amount of releases being released, not only not rolled into pieces, but also marked by the stylish and competent pop rap album “Pretty Girls Like Trap Music”, which brought the performer closer to the charts and showed his ability to find his place in this fast-moving world of music.
Perhaps Tity Boi has its own internal challenge or it is just so excited from the record, but this year also will not end without its new, already fifth album. Based on the words he declared, “Rap or Go to the League” will also not do without a concept and will generally revolve around the position of blacks in the entertainment industry. It’s hard to say if he will succeed in developing the success of his predecessor, but now it’s likely to sound different. By the way, 2 Chainz has already managed to celebrate this year with a small EP “The Play Don’t Care Who Makes It”.
Release date: unknown
Yela’s latest video for the track from the album “Trial By Fire”.
A person who is at least superficially familiar with the work of this native of Alabama, who was slain from head to foot, heard the songs “Daddy’s Lambo” and “Pop the Trunk” or noticed “Good to Go” in the soundtrack to Saints Row. All these creations belong to the time of the very first part of the Trunk Muzik release line – at the beginning of the tenth, the rapper released a mixtape, which was later reissued as an album.
