I have been personally waiting on one of the best producers to drop his project. Who you might ask? Oh, TY Dolla $ign!!!! Of course expect features from Nicki Minaj or Big Sean just to name a few. You still not sold yet?? Well…check it out and let me know what you think.
To describe Jean Dawson’s music is combining rock with house type of beats with a little mix of grunge on the side, then BOOM you have this dope project from such an eclectic artist. With only one feature from A$AP Rocky, you find yourself very interested in finding out more about this artist.

You can literally play this project from beginning to the end without skipping a track, if this is the type of energy you search for! They. only has 3 features including my girl Tinashe, Wale, and Juicy J. With quality production and real stories to tell in a dope vibe wins every time!!
It’s been a awhile since we heard from Detroit’s own Dej Loaf! I admit being a newbie with a breakout hit that changed the game for her is quite overwhelming to any artist for everyone will be expecting the exact same thing when that’s not realistic! You can tell that Dej has evolved on this project, especially with sounding so transparent. I don’t even want to mention who her features are LOL I literally want yall to check her album out. PERIOD!
This project was already dope AF! Now Dave decided to follow in the common trend of this year by coming out with a deluxe version of his album Karma 3! Honestly, I am excited fr. This just made the original project much better with adding a remix LOL This is definitely a must listen.
I love this artist story telling!!! Listening to this project had me thinking of cold nights in black n white LOL If the Ep sounds like this…I can’t wait to see what Chuck has coming next!
I swear Joyner Lucas does not get the credit he so fully deserves! His music is always on point, from his lyrics to the production, which sounds like each song should be in someone’s soundtrack! Joyner is literally a true talent, he makes you feel proud! It’s ALL BLACK EVERYTHING!!
I can’t even lie…I was anxious to hear Chanel’s project! Overall I am happily surprised, and she isn’t on here trying to be the dopest lyricist ever or have a trillion Black rappers featured just to so how down she is. To be down isn’t something that can be staged, and what I am getting from this project is a piece of Chanel’s life outside of MTV’s Ridiculous. Congratulations Chanel! This project is nice, and you will be shocked to hear the tone of her voice on this project too.
I just want to input some fire flames all in this comment section! Comethazine came hard on this project…he letting you know that you can’t count him out PERIOD!!!

I suggest for everyone to check this album out. You can be late to the party, but at least you showed up and showed out. Congratulations Jadon!!!
Barlos Montana always comes thru with some kappin ass music to be bumping to! What I like about him as an artist is that his style is not like what you expect to hear coming from out of Cleveland, Oh, but that swag…most definitely LOL This album is a must listen!!
Anything T.I. makes best believe I am here for!!! T.I. stays making music that us grown folks can get into as well as those tracks that you can get litty too as well, and this album does just that! Happy belated Birthday Tip!!!
I love seeing Gucci Mane is this official position as a BOSS!! He is bringing out his crew, the So Icy Gang. Yall should’ve gotten familiar with them with their first collaborative effort “So Icy Summer“. Every track on this project isdope, and I am loving the artist’s Gucci has, but honestly I always expect the best from him anyways! Burr!
BLACK THOUGHT – STREAMS OF THOUGHT VOL.3: CANE & ABEL
If you know anything about the artist, Black Thought, you know that he comes with lyrics that make you think! For those aren’t familiar with the artist…he is the lead rapper in the group, The Roots. This 3rd installment of his Streams of Thought is dope! I also love the features he has like Killer Mike, Pusha T, Swizz Beatz , and others!
I swear this is an artist who is hardly seen anywhere, but when he releases projects, those project’s be dope af!! Party Pack does exactly that! This project is super dope please including features from Nipsey Hussle, Quavo, Lil Yatchy, and others!

It’s nothing but dope flows, great production, plus real facts speaking! This project is definitely a must listen.
I was wondering what this “link up” was going to be, but honestly…I like the collaborate effort between the two. Both are talented in their own right so it works well! This project has a very cool vibe to it, plus with dope features with Wiz Khalifa, Davido, and French Montana
I had to save the best for last, Sheek Louch! Just seeing his name should let you know that this 4th installment of his Beast Mode series will go hard, and it does!!!

PAPOOSE – ENDANGERED SPECIES
Keep running the numbers up on my new album! I appreciate your support. Click here https://t.co/87LniS8Hhd
I can not lie…It has been ages since I checked in out any Papoose album. Not saying that his music isn’t worth the listen…it just wasn’t my thing, but for those who do love his music…this album will be the shit for you guys! Papoose definitely reminds everyone that outside of his famous wife, he is someone to not play with.
Trey Songz never seems to let me down when it comes to his music. I mean literally since day 1! I love this albums whole cadence as well as how smoothly it moves on to the next track. He calls this album “Back Home” , and I hope that means he’s back to being a great artist and person all around. Stay proving the haters wrong Trey!
First off, I want to say RIP to Famous Dex’s mother, Diana. I think he did a good album especially since it’s dedicated to his deceased mom. I love the features as well as the production that honestly always comes thru on every project Dex drops.

Hey guys do not forget to go to your favorite podcast channel to listen to me…Tina with the Tea…every Tuesday!! There’s new content available now!
Alicia Keys is back with another great production also known as her 7th album! The #1 artist of the millennium continues with her formula of motivational songs, stories of love, and regular day to day observations. I love to see Alicia on these charts for she is a breath of fresh air to this music game. Literally a representation of when your actual talent is the reason for everything. No, this album does not compare to my favorite album “The Diary of Alicia Keys”, but this album is definitely one that will be on the Top 10 charts!Alicia made sure to enlist dope features for this project like Tierra Whack, Miguel, Khalid, Jill Scott, and others.
Shy Glizzy is back with another dope ass project to vibe to. I admit that I had gotten used to the Shy Glizzy that I first heard back in 2013, but I can say that Shy Glizzy stays making dope music that everyone can vibe to. This 3rd installment of “Young Jefe” has some dope features including Meek Mill, Jeremih, Ty Dolla Sign, G Herbo, and others. Trust me when I say that by the time you get to track 5 the album turns up!
Being the 1st lady of Griselda Records means that Armani Caesar has alot of weight on her shoulders, but what I like about her….she has her own lane, just like the rest of the artist under that label are. I truly love the album cover, Elizabeth Taylor was a different type of classic beauty that seemed to be priceless, and Armani is letting everyone know that she is something special to this game. This dope ass project has features from Westside Gunn, Conway The Machine, and Benny The Butcher.
Lil Tecca came hard for his first project! Literally almost every song on this project is an official bop forreal!! I am looking forward to what the future holds for him. Tecca enlisted dope ass features from Polo G, Lil Durk, Nav, Lil Uzi Vert, Internet Money, and more!
Moneybagg Yo and Blac Youngsta were supposed to release they own projects, but at the last minute decided to turn things to a collaboration! Hey…why not?? They’re both on Yo Gotti’s label, as well as from different parts of Memphis, Tennessee, and both are favorites amongst the Hip Hop crowd. This project got some dope tracks that are some true bops and with features from Ari, 42 Dugg, Yo Gotti, City Girls, DaBaby, and others is guaranteed to keep this project on repeat!
Cleveland, Ohio legend and one of the dopest rappers from the most talented rap group, Bone Thugs N Harmony, Bizzy Bone, is back with another project that is such a vibe! No features of course, but when you are Bizzy Bone, you can hold your own on any project! If you do not believe me please check your facts!!! This is a dope ass project overall!
Skippa Da Flippa always come with that heat and he stays very consistent! This project got bops starting from track 1 to the end. Too bad this project is only an Ep!!! It makes you want to hear more LOL
Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think that we would be blessed with some original gangsta music from Mc Eiht!!! This is a super dope project, and the features are too LIT, including B-Real, Conway The Machine, Kokane, Dave East, Talib Kweli, Yukmouth, and more og’s in this rap game!! This project here…is definitely a must listen….ON MY MAMA!!!!
This artist did exactly what I expected from him…to give me some good energy!! This whole project is dope af! From features with Eric Bellinger, Mysonne, 38 Spesh, Jim Jones, and more….plus great lyrical flow that makes sense. Grafh can’t go wrong with this project at all!!
Problem is always causing a damn problem releasing dope ass music that I just feel so addicted to! This project is consistent with volume 1, but what I am noticing is that every one of these artists are using their platform to speak against the injustice and abuse Black Americans have been going through especially in 2020. Problem made sure to speak on his thought from this year and I feel him. Of course Problem had to enlist some dope artist to partake in his vision including Tyrese, Jack Harlow, Jay Rock, Freddie Gibbs, Snoop Dogg and more!
I can’t tell you guys a time that Curren$y came weak on a project. With production from Harry Fraud, this album is definitely a must listen. Usually Curren$y does not use too many features, but I see for this project he went IN! Features including: Trippie Redd, Snoop Dogg, Styles P, and Larry June….I instantly got excited. This whole project is nothing but a vibe that I will say please check it out!!!
Hey guys!!! Please make sure to check out my new podcast Tina with the Tea where I give out nothing but that sweet tea for ya soul!! New episodes posted every Tuesday on all major podcast platforms!
Mannnnn….them Griselda Boys stay strapped with nothing but heat, and they definitely did that on this project as well! This project is a guaranteed repeater!
NBA Youngboy is one of those artists who stays releasing dope music regardless of what’s going on with him or whatever is being said on social media. I especially loved the track with LIl Wayne featured on it.
At first I thought that I had never heard of Niki, but if you guys are familiar with 88Rising, you have heard of her. Not only is she an artist, she is a producer, writer, and composer whose FINALLY dropped her own project that is currently trending on twitter as we speak! This is definitely a must listen.
Coming from Cleveland, OH I always have been a fan of Chicago’s drill music. It’s crazy how everybody is now making they on style of drill music from New York to even over the water in the UK. Lil Reese is one of the originals, and comes thru representing per usual. This project sounds like one those albums to ride to.
ZAYAH – ENIGMA EP

What I truly love about this project is that Nas not only came with his dope ass flows, but he brought such a upbeat vibe special thanks to the producer, Hit-Boy!! This Black powered filled album includes dope features with Big Sean, Charlie Wilson, Don Toliver, Lil Durk, and even The Firm. For those youngins who may not know who The Firm is….it’s includes Foxy Brown, AZ, and Cormega!!!
I am sooo geeked!!! I have been waiting see Mulatto come with a album for over a year now! After winning Jermaine Dupri’s rapper contest, it seemed as if Mulatto wasn’t going to blow up, but she proved us wrong! This project is very lit, and is very entertain-able!
MONEYMAN – EPIDEMIC

Vic Mensa seems to always present himself in a different way every time he drops a new project, and he stuck to the same code on this project as well! I swear I felt some Jay-Z vibe on this project. Overall the project is dope, and his lyrical flow is impeccable.
GUAPDAD4000 – PLATINUM FALCON RETURNS
Guapdad 4000 drops off “Platinum Falcon Returns” ft. Denzel Curry, Boogie & more. https://t.co/NrCSADAwbf
Derez Deshon never fails to drop some music that you will literally feel in your soul for he speaks about real life pain, struggle, and love. I admit that I have been waiting for this project to drop for quite some time, and I am so happy that it finally did!!
Hey Goodies!!! I hope everyone’s week was great or if not….be blessed you have made it through it!!! This week of new releases are LIT!!! We got a new release from Paid In Full rapper Rakim. We also havePaid In Fullrapper Rakim’s son who released a new project. Lil Keed and NLE Choppa have also step to plate with some fire music. Lil Baby and Rod Wave are following in the steps of other well known artist by re-releasing their most recent albums with added music then repackaging them as deluxe albums. Popcaan coming through with riddems, while Tobe Nwigwe making sure he keeps are heads spinning with not only dope lyricism, but hitting topics that should be on the forefront of the news!
I feel that these are all the ingredients to add for a fine dinner of fresh music!!! Oh and do not forget to check your girl out! I have fresh and new content up on 216 The Beat radio channel on Youtube called Tina with the Tea!!!!!
It’s knew it was about time for Amine to drop another album!! I think it’s been since 2017!!!! Please believe that not only is the wait over, but it was well worth the wait. This sophomore album sounds like he really took his time and even made a very good dedication to the recently deceased ex NBA player, Kobe Bryant. Overall, this is a great album with a lot of feel good tracks with dope lyricism to top it off!
So DaBaby decided to follow the theme of 2020 which is re-release your album , but make it a deluxe album! Honestly…I’m liking a lot of the new songs added to the deluxe album vs the original! I swear DaBaby is not going anywhere no time soon!
I swear Lil Keed is my favorite out of Young Thugs crew of slimes. The project Keed dropped last year was super dope even though I had to get used to his voice…you can tell he was speaking on some ish! Trust and believe that this project will provide extra bump in ya ride!!!
NLE Choppa came thru on this project! I can say that literally every song will have you bobbin your head continuously! If he stays clear from trouble I believe that he will have a successful career.
If you are looking for some feel good music with some reggae feel…this album will give you that fix! Popcaan goes in on this album, even Drake is featured on this blazing album.
I see the formula for re-releasing albums with additional songs by which makes the project a deluxe version. Like Dababy, I like the songs a little more that was added onto the original album. I personally enjoy Rod Wave’s music for he makes music that you can feel, and this project is something his fans will definitely enjoy.
This right here!!!!!!!! OMFG THIS RIGHT HERE!!!!! This is a project that we been needed and I suggest for all to listen to. This project represents everything we people of color are feeling especially during this year of 2020. Great work Tobe!!
I swear to be the son of rapper, Rakim, I feel like that instantly puts expectations of greatness on you, but I can say that Tahmell seems to have found his own lane that fits him. This project has a nice vibe to it, and dope flows. This project is definitely worth a listen or maybe 2!!
Soooo…I am guessing that Jacob must be a lovely Leo LOL There’s nothing like putting music out around the time of your birthday…I guess it gets you ready to celebrate! Jacob who has a nice voice that does well on any beat. Short project with great song selections to get you in the mood plus features that include: Trevor Jackson, Rotimi, Eric Bellinger and others!
Hey Goodies!!! Make sure to check out “Tina with the Tea” after getting updated on all the new music releases for the week!!!
You will not believe that singer Brandy has finally released a new album in 8 years, and so many other dope releases came out today too! Check them out below:
I am truly excited on how Barlos Montana is staying consistent with releasing out material. His style is something different than any other artist coming out of Cleveland for being different can always set him apart from the others. While this Ep only contained 3 tracks….I can say it has me anticipating for more!
To see that one of my favorite singers/actresses finally released some new music I was totally ecstatic!!! It literally been 8 years since she has released anything new! This new album starts off a little slow, but once you get to song 6 the album starts to come live LOL overall I am elated to hear her voice again and I hope she continues to bless us with her music.
Mannnn….I love Dom Kennedy’s music! Especially that mixtape he came out with back in 2012/2013 was kept on repeat and now he’s back like he’s never left with some more feel good tracks that come with dope rhymes to give you a little something to bump to on a nice sunny day!
I am salty this is only an Ep!!!!! I am truly feeling the track that has Flipp Dinero featured on it, but overall this guy right here is someone to be looking out for in the future.
BEYONCE – THE LION KING: THE GIFT(DELUXE)
#BlackIsKing 🇬🇭 : I originally went to Ghana to bury my grandmother and got the call from Kwasi Fordjour to assist in directing visuals for Black Is King. I truly hope this moment honors her as an ancestor and she continues to guide me. Thank you @Beyonce for creating the vision. pic.twitter.com/IvU6F5pTBj
Beyonce would prolly kill me for I have yet to watch “Black Is King” on my Disney Plus app! I will definitely watch it once I get settled. She is one of the greatest performers in my lifetime and generation. Now with this deluxe of the Lion King I get to hear the songs I grew to love yet over again and again LOL
if you love the sounds of old Motown Records you will definitely love this project. Lord Finesse made sure to give an upbeat and up to date version of your favorite classics that will set you up with a perfect vibe.
He’s one of the dopest rappers to come out of LA but not too many people are familiar with him as of yet! He stays very consistent and at times will include unexpected features from artist that you never thought knew of him, and thats exactly how I got to know of his music. This project is nothing new…just like his other work this right here will be on repeat!!

MICHAEL AND THE INFLUENCE – DRUG DEALERS DREAM FOR THE UNITITATED
Who does 10 years in jail to come back out with a podcast, dope ass project, and repping from the south east side of Cleveland, OH??? This guy right here named Michael! I particularly enjoyed all of the tracks on his project, but only 5 are my favorites. With only 12 tracks on this project…that is not bad at all! This is a must listen project…I don’t know what he has planned but i think that if he decides to stay in this music game, I think he will last for a long time. Congratulations Mike!!
LOGIC – NO PRESSURE
Officially announcing my retirement with the release of “No Pressure” executive produced by No I.D. July 24th…
It’s been a great decade. Now it’s time to be a great father.
So Logic decided that this will be his last album. He says that now it’s time to be a father, and I not only understand that but I commend him for making that sacrifice! Will he stay retired from the game? Ummmm…per past references like, Jay-Z and Master P, who have a made so called last albums to turn right around and make another album. This album by Logic is so strategically done. You will hear some samples that will make you bob your head and just vibe to his music. Overall, I wish Logic and his family the best!
TAYLOR SWIFT – FOLK LORE
In isolation my imagination has run wild and this album is the result. I’ve told these stories to the best of my ability with all the love, wonder, and whimsy they deserve. Now it’s up to you to pass them down. folklore is out now: https://t.co/xdcEDfithq
At times you have credit where credit is due, and Taylor Swift is that woman. She returns with an album telling more stories of love, heartbreak, and motivational thoughts that everyone will relate to. We must always give flowers to those are still living.
Mannnn…..SHOUT OUT TO MY LADIES!!!!! 2020 may not be the best year but it sure is breeding some of the baddest chicks coming into this rap game! They making sure to shut mouths up while still looking like the sweetest snacks EVER!!!! I bet Flo Milli will be here for a while!!
