Three album from Hip-hop's finest all in one day? You read right; we ain't lying, ladies and gents! Today in Hip-hop caters to these iconic names releasing their latest albums, which we just so happened to list out for your convenience and listening pleasure—and hey, it's the weekend: you have every right to spoil yourself.
Common – Black America Again
-
This Chicago MC is back with his eleventh studio album, cataloguing fifteen fresh singles, and features appearances from numerous guest artists, such as Stevie Wonder, John Legend, Esperanza Spalding, Bilal, BJ the Chicago Kid, and much more. A soulful ambience floats masterfully above the Chi-rapper's conscious style verses flying through the air, “Though this is from Heaven, give 'em verses from Hell/ Those that fell off the path, bring them back to the mass,” raps Common on the track, “Home”.
La Coka Nostra – To Thine Own Self Be True
-
Four years following their last album, the explosive rap supergroup are looking to make another groundbreaking return, and with their newest collective already open for streams, their third installment falls nothing short of a magnum-caliber showcase of their familiar grit and steel. Labeled under Fat Beats Records, the album features production from a myriad of producers, DJ Lethal and Statik Selektah to name two, and lists appearances from Sick Jacken, Apathy, Rite Hook, Q-Unitue, Nems, SKAM2?, and SadieVada.
Czarface – A Fistful of Peril
-
If you thought the latest Marvel flick was good, wait till you get a hold of this record! Hip-hop's most prominent antiheroes return with their latest album, which overflows with a myriad of comic bits and supernatural allusions, resulting after Marvel Comics themselves reached out to the trio. But perhaps Esoteric says it better, “linking with Marvel definitely activated that super soldier serum. The creative fuel we got from collaborating with one of Czarface's biggest inspirations had us blasting through tracks on a rampage, and it's showcased on this record.”
Well, there you have it. Go forth and spread the word!
