2018 Hip-Hop Album Releases: The Ultimate Guide

We’re officially three quarters deep in of 2018, so it seems only fitting to update this leviathan. It’s certainly been a strong year thus far, with releases from Trouble, Migos, XXXTentacion, Cardi B, J Cole, Youngboy Never Broke Again, Kanye West, A$AP Rocky, Pusha T, Logic, Tory Lanez, Post Malone, and more.

While we originally started the year with few concrete dates, a clearer sense of direction has come to develop. For the most part, we’ve tried our best to keep up with the frequent outpouring of new releases, working to keep this one as timely as possible for ya’ll.  For now, we’ll continue to do our upkeep. Remember, take solace in the fact that “coming soon” always changes.

With such an extensive list, omissions are inevitable. If we missed something, sound off in the comments.

Dave East’s Paranoia tape was undeniably slept on, and one can only hope that it expands on the first chapter. Side note, why is every album a sequel these days? Either way, Dave East’s Paranoia 2 has already landed an album cover, which you can check out over on East’s Instagram.

When: February 2nd

The “Dat Stick” rapper has actually blossomed into a talented artist, and has been steadily releasing singles like “Glow Like Dat” and “See Me.” While Brian announced the release date and album cover, he has yet to reveal a tracklist.

Lucci's new album is imminent. We're not sure if the Offset assisted "Boss Life" or the Meek Mill collaboration "Street Kings" will be present and accounted for, but anything is possible. Lucci is officially looking to make a splash this year, so expect some fire from the Atlanta native.

March: March 9th

Logic surprised fans with the announcement of his upcoming mixtape Bobby Tarantino II. With an actual co-sign from Rick & Morty, Logic's anticipated sequel promises a return to "mixtape Logic." As Rick Sanchez so eloquently put it, expect "some fucking titties and throwing stacks on some ass!"

With The Book Of Ryan on the horizon, Royce is looking to drop off another round of Premier-laced bangers in PRhyme 2. In November of 2017, Royce confirmed the project was officially done, and while he remained coy about the features, the Detroit rapper was previously spotted in the studio with J. Cole.  Plus, take this with a grain of salt, but Royce previously reached out to Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, and The Game on Twitter, inviting them to lyrically spar on the record.

Cardi B’s massive 2017 propelled her into one of 2018’s most curious cases. Now, the world is watching, eager to see what she’s cooking up. After dropping “Bodak Yellow” and “Bartier Cardi,” the former stripper has already proven to be deadly on the mic. Now, all she has to do is keep the fire coming. Last she spoke on it, Cardi told The Breakfast Club she was seven or eight songs deep, but seemed intent on doing it right. There’s no word on any release date, but expect Atlantic to take their time with the rollout. A recent update from Cardi confirms that the album will be released on April 6th.

When: April 6th

When: April 20th

J. Cole shocked the world when he announced the arrival of K.O.D, which is set to drop on the widely celebrated Stoner's holiday. Appropriately enough, drugs seem to be one of the project's dominant themes, with suggestive cover art and an acronym allegedly standing for "King Overdose," "Kidz On Drugz" and "Kill Our Demonz." It's crazy to think of how J. Cole has quietly solidified himself as one of hip-hop's true superstars, while still maintaining a genuine sense of underground mystique.

I just want to go as hard as I can until death calls my name.” 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When: May 4th

In the Sremm Holiday Tidal Documentary, producer Mike WiLL Made-It teased “we haven't even heard the best of Sremm.” Suffice it to say, chapter 3 should be the most ambitious Rae Sremmurd project yet. In fact, it's set to be a triple album, featuring Swae Lee's Swaecation and Jxmtroduction.  

When: May 4th

Royce Da 5’9” originally planned on dropping Layers follow-up The Book Of Ryan much earlier, but he opted to delay the release for reasons undisclosed. Back in March of 2016, he revealed the project was “basically done,” and claimed it would be even more personal than Layers; for an album containing the autobiographical “Tabernacle,” that’s saying something. Now, Royce has led off the album with the J Cole assisted "Boblo Boat," confirming that the project is set to drop on May 4th.

When: May 4th

Styles P, The Ghost, aka Holiday Styles, aka Pinero is back with his new album G-Host. Fans of the Lox legend should expect nothing less than "raw unapologetic hip-hop that is bound to hit you in the gut make your head nod hard and your face scrunch up."

I prefer to experiment and have my crowd grow with me and to reach new crowds. I don't just rap—I actually make music."  It wouldn't be surprising to see A$AP Rocky following in the footsteps of his homeboy Tyler, The Creator, opting for a more experimental, melodic project.

When: May 25th

The date has officially been confirmed by Kanye West himself, who is also set to produce the entire project.
