The post DJ Akademiks Has An Out-Of-Body Experience As Drake Announces Triple-Album Release appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]> On Friday, Drake dropped three albums, including ICEMAN, HABIBTI, and MAID OF HONOUR. Going into ICEMAN Episode 4, fans assumed we were only getting one album. Eventually, it became clear that we might get a double album. In the end, Drizzy surprised everyone by revealing that this would be a triple-release.

It is something that absolutely no one saw coming. Even the leakers felt like this was too much of a surprise to spoil. DJ Akademiks is considered to be someone who has the inside scoop on all things Drake. However, even he could not have predicted what was to come last night.

While live on stream, Ak found himself reacting to Episode 4 along with his chat. When the end came around, and Akademiks saw that there were three albums, his reactions left fans in stitches. In fact, it was eerily reminiscent of his reaction to hearing Drake on “Sicko Mode.”

DJ Akademiks Was Excited

We can’t necessarily blame DJ Akademiks for feeling this way. Ultimately, there were millions of fans at home feeling the exact same way. ICEMAN is an album that had been teased for months. No one could have expected this kind of pump fake, with two additional albums to consume.

If you have listened to the albums, you’ve probably noticed a theme with each effort. HABIBTI is an R&B-heavy album, while MAID OF HONOUR focuses on club tracks. Lastly, ICEMAN is the pure rap album, where Drizzy is unleashing subs at his enemies.

Ultimately, we expect some polarizing reactions going into the morning. This is typically the case with Drake albums, and with three albums’ worth of material, hip-hop fans will have something to say.

The post Until I Return – Album by Quando Rondo appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]> Quando Rondo officially returns with his new album Until I Return, marking his first full-length project since 2024’s Here For A Reason. Across the album, Quando leans into the melodic street rap style that built his fanbase while reflecting on loyalty, survival, pain, and isolation. The release arrives during an especially intense moment surrounding the rapper’s name in hip-hop headlines. Federal prosecutors continue building their case against Lil Durk ahead of trial, with reports alleging Durk placed a $1 million bounty on Quando Rondo in 2022 tied to an alleged murder-for-hire plot. While Quando himself is not charged in the federal case, the ongoing legal situation continues casting a shadow over his career and public image.

Still, Until I Return keeps the focus on the music, blending emotional storytelling with street-focused production and introspective moments throughout the project. Ultimately, it’s a solid 11-track project that sees Quando Rondo growing as an artist. The late Lil Poppa is the sole feature and appears on “YSL Shoes.”

Release Date: May 15, 2026
Genre: Hip-Hop/Rap

]]> Giveon expands his 2025 album BELOVED with the release of BELOVED: Act II, a deluxe edition featuring five new tracks. While Giveon is best known for his deep vocals and emotionally heavy ballads, the new additions show a slightly more upbeat and versatile side of the singer. The standout early favorite is “Jezebel,” which leans into a more energetic, almost pop-inspired sound while still keeping Giveon’s signature smooth delivery intact. The track feels like one of the project’s most accessible records and could easily become a breakout hit with the right push behind it. The deluxe also continues the strong chemistry Giveon has built with collaborators throughout the BELOVED era, with each feature blending naturally into the project’s warm and cinematic R&B sound. He recruits Kehlani for “SAVE SOME FOR ME,” Leon Thomas for “FOOL ME ONCE,” Sasha Keable for “REPLICA,” and Teddy Swims for “KEEPER.”
