5 Hip-Hop Albums We Are All Waiting For To End 2018.

With it somehow already being the end of the year, we have seen a lot of albums. It has been an undoubted improvement from a dry 2017 with all the heavy weights having dropped their projects. (J Cole, Drake, Travis Scott, Nicki Minaj, Cardi B, Post Malone, Jay Z and Beyoncé, Kanye’s two projects). We love to look back on best of the decades whether it’s in sports, news, or entertainment. Hopefully these projects will establish 2018 as a top year for rap in the 2010’s.

5. GoldLInk

For those that want a follow up to the hit track, “Crew”, you should not be too much longer without the DMV artist. He has plans on dropping an album at some point before the year ends. With higher profile collaborations with Miguel and Cristina Aguilera, we are hoping his sophomore album can launch him into another echelon of hip-hop artists. (The DMV is in a musical drought right now anyways.)

4. Schoolboy Q

After a well acclaimed sophomore album, Blank Face LP, Groovy Q proves that he hasn’t missed on a project yet. With fake reports in October that Q’s album was 90 percent done, we are led to believe that it is actually 95 percent done as of September 2018. This should be one of the sure-fire bets to land within the year and the “That Part” rapper gives us no reason to believe that his third album won’t be short of fantastic.

3. Meek Mill

Meek Mill’s popularity has been an interesting case. He was at the butt of all jokes in 2015 after the Drake feud, but his fan base seemed to come out of the woodworks following his arrest. Even more hype came for the Philadelphia rapper appeared when his Eagles won the Super Bowl walking out to his “Dreams and Nightmares”. Ex-girlfriend Nicki Minaj’s lyrical treatment of Meek Mill and just about everybody else in the game has made Meek become that more lovable. The whole rap community is looking forward to cheering on Meek’s next rumored 2018 project, except maybe Drake.

2. Lil Wayne

Weezy F Baby’s last seven years has been a tragic case for all Hip-Hop heads. In what has been a legendary and pioneering career for the 35-year-old rapper, his 12th studio album is taking what seems to be an eternity. Now that he is free of Birdman’s reign, we are rumored to finally get Tha Carter V in 2018. The hype is real on this one and we all wonder how Lil Wayne can put together a project that adapts sonically to the past seven years of Hip-Hop transformation.

1. Anderson .Paak

I think everyone is slightly skeptical on the whole Tha Carter V release date thing robbing it for the number one spot. The artist with the best culmination of potential growth, mainstream popularity, and artistic capabilities has to be Anderson. Paak. Still unknown to the household listener, Brandon Paak Anderson is set to explode in the hip-hop community. His single aptly named “Bubblin” is brewing excitement to see what the jazzy and soulful artist can deliver on his second album, Oxnard. And even as trailblazing as his first album, Malibu was he is quoted in saying this upcoming project is “the album he dreamed of making.” Oh boy.
