Madlib, Jermaine Dupri, Curren$y, and Daniel Caesar lead this week’s album roundup.
This week’s new music releases skew a bit more into a bit more of introspective headspace. Our run-down features quite a few projects that feature artists tapping in with their innermost feelings. For instance, Daniel Caesar returns with his stirring release, Never Enough. It’s quite a return for the singer who became an R&B voice to know nearly five years ago.
Rap releases are also plenty this week. In that realm, Curren$y and Jermaine Dupri released For Motivational Use Only Vol. 1 featuring 2 Chainz and T.I. Then there’s Madlib, Mayhem Lauren, and DJ Muggs’ Champagne For Breakfast. Mozzy shared his latest album titled Kollect Kall. Fly Anakin and Foisey also dropped Skinemaxxx (Side A).
Rae Sremmurd returns with Sremm 4 Life. And alt R&B duo THEY. have revealed their newest project titled Nü Moon.
Madlib, Meyhem Lauren, DJ Muggs — Champagne For Breakfast
Madlib, Mayhem Lauren and DJ Muggs’ newest collab album is filled with excellent production. Meyhem delivers a bevy of memorable lyrical moments on this one too.

Curren$y, Jermaine Dupri — For Motivational Use Only Vol. 1
Curren$y and Jermaine Dupri finally revealed their collaborative effort earlier this week. It’s a curious and eccentric link up that feels refreshing. Their blended sounds make for an enjoyable listening experience.
Standout Tracks: “Essence Fest,” “Never Enough”
Fly Anakin, Foisey — Skinemaxxx (Side A)
Fly Anakin and producer Foisey’s latest is a smooth and heady drop. Tracks like “Bonnet Music” are succinct and wordy simultaneously. Production is killer on this one.
Standout Tracks: “Sudden Death (Biggest Fan) Ft. Big Kahuna Og,” “Outsidigan’s Anthem”
Mozzy – Kollect Kall
Mozzy gets off some picturesque lyricism that’s equally hard-hitting on Kollect Kall. “Free All The Lifers” is a must-listen.

Daniel Caesar – Never Enough
Daniel Caesar turns over a new leaf with Never Enough, a personal and lovestruck album. It’s his latest release since his poignant album Freudian.
Standout Tracks: “Valentina,” “Do You Like Me”
THEY. – Nü Moon
THEY. conceptualized a stunning R&B soundscape for their new album. It’s a release that is the opposite of superficial, in fact, it’s thrilling, sexy, and decadent.

Rae Sremmurd – Sremm 4 Life
With Mike Will Made It’s energetic touch the duo Rae Sremmurd unleashes a boisterous and melodic release.
