50 Cent – Street King Immortal
50 won a lot of hearts back with his December release The Kanan Tape which was short but sweet. Since its inception into the minds of 50 stans worldwide, Street King Immortal has been a sore subject due to its numerous delays. In fact, SKI has been “coming soon” for so long that the album even featured on our list of anticipated albums for 2015.
Before then, the Reloaded version of The Kanan Tape and undoubtedly a great deal of business ventures are yet to come. But if recent music and talk on social media is anything to go by, perhaps the second coming of 50 is near and the wait will be well worth it.
YG – Still Krazy
It’s still pretty common to believe that My Krazy Life was the best album of 2014 and it’s definitely still alright to admit that that was a surprise to most of us. Since propelling himself to stardom a couple of years back with DJ Mustard and Ty Dolla $ign, YG has been going through a lot in his personal life from being shot to having a daughter. Assuming he approaches his sophomore album Still Krazy with the same mentality as his debut, it could cement YG as one of the West Coast’s leading men.
Frank Ocean – Boys Don’t Cry
It’s become a rare occasion to even hear anything about Frank Ocean in the news these days. The Jay Electronica of the R&B genre, even seeing Frank in a photo or hearing rumours about collaborations and song titles are a treat. channel ORANGE is fast approaching its 4 year anniversary and whilst ‘Memrise’ and ‘You Are Luhh’ are great, we can count the recent releases from Frank on one hand.
R&B has been reaching new heights and audiences in recent times with the rise of PARTYNEXTDOOR, Bryson Tiller and Tory Lanez and we’re curious to see what Frank Ocean’s stance on it all is.
Pusha T – King Push
With his new position as President of G.O.O.D. Music, it would be easy to assume that Pusha’s solo career would fall to the back burner as he focuses on Sean, CyHi and the rest of the crew – but that’s most certainly not the case. With Darkest Before Dawn: The Prelude, he arguably stole the last quarter of the year and King Push is looking like it will only be grander. Will his hit streak continue?
