The Listening: New Music From The Alchemist, Future, MC Lyte and More
For The Listening, OKP takes a look at new albums and songs dropping this week. Tap in for new releases from The Alchemist, Future, MC Lyte and more.
Although September is coming to an end, that doesn’t mean the release of new music has slowed.
Friday marks the release of anticipated albums from Future and The Alchemist, as well as releases from Blu & Exile and MC Lyte.
But we’ve also already seen the release of new singles as well. There was “Song Cry,” the first posthumous single from the late Rich Homie Quan, as well as Cartier and Skilla Baby’s “You Look Good.”
Each week, Okayplayer will deliver a roundup of all the latest new heat from some of our favorite artists. Check out the latest offerings below.
