July is going to be a big month for hip-hop albums, as new releases from Future, Ken Carson, and Rick Ross are on the way.

There have been some incredible hip-hop albums so far this year. In fact, we counted down the top 25 albums of the year so far earlier this week. However, more projects are on the horizon, and it seems as though July will contain some heavy hitters.

Tomorrow, fans will be blessed with xperiment, the new album from Ken Carson. Just a week later, Future will drop his new album, The Real Me. Fans cannot wait for Future's next release, especially since it has been a while since we got Mixtape Pluto.

Rick Ross, Syd, Steve Lacy, Rich The Kid, and Rome Streetz are just some of the names also dropping albums this month. There will be lots of R&B throughout July, which is great news for those who need some love songs in their lives.
