The band announced the compilation at the same time as the “Black Album” Super Deluxe Edition box set.

Duckwrth Drops New EP SG8*: Stream
Duckwrth has dropped his new SG8* EP. Stream it below on Apple Music or Spotify. As the title implies, SG8* boasts eight tracks, and is a continuation of some of the ideas first explored in his 2020 label debut, SuperGood. While that previous effort was a joyous reaction away from 2010’s trap rap, this new EP finds the positive vibes bumping up against a pandemic. “Now that things are opening up and we’re living in this post pandemic state of mind…no one is touching on the new anxieties,” Duckwrth said in a statement. “The truth of the matter is we shake the dice every time we’re around people. And now I’m contemplating whether I’ve always struggled with anxiety or if the atmosphere change has bred a new thing in me. Deep down I still just want to have a good time witho...
Drake Drops New Album Certified Lover Boy: Stream
After months of hype, Drake has finally unveiled his new album, Certified Lover Boy, via OVO/Republic Records. Certified Lover Boy is the superstar’s first full-length studio set since his 2018 double album Scorpion. It was preceded by his March EP, Scary Hours 2, and last year’s Dark Lane Demo Tapes mixtape. He dropped the Lil Durk-assisted “Laugh Now Cry Later” as an album teaser more than a year ago. While CLB was originally meant to follow closely behind the lead single, it was delayed twice: First, it was pushed to this past January, and then again due to Drake’s recovery from surgery on his ACL.

Iron Maiden Release New Album Senjutsu: Stream
Heavy metal legends Iron Maiden have released their highly anticipated 17th studio album, Senjutsu. The 80-plus minute opus was recorded in early 2019 at Guillaume Tell Studio in France during a break in the band’s “Legacy of the Beast Tour.” Later that year, longtime Maiden producer Kevin “Caveman” Shirley strongly hinted that a new album could be on the horizon. Prior to officially announcing Senjutsu, Iron Maiden built the hype with cryptic ARG-style teasers before breaking the silence with an epic music video for the single “The Writing on the Wall” — their first new song in six years. The full album details were then unveiled, including a new “Samurai Eddie” for the cover art.

Flee Lord and Roc Marciano Unveil New Album Delgado: Stream
The god of hustle Flee Lord has linked up with underground king Roc Marciano for the new album Delgado. Stream it below on Apple Music or Spotify. Flee Lord lives in the damn booth. In 2020 alone he released [checks notes… counts… runs out of fingers] 12(!) separate projects, and 2021 is shaping up to be another doozy. The former protégé of Mobb Deep’s Prodigy has already teamed up with Lordmobb for Lordmobb Complilation, Vol. 1 and DJ Muggs for Rammelize. But despite the deluge, Delgado feels like an event because of who lined up behind the board. Marciano is a low-key legend: a former member of Busta Rhymes’ Flipmode Squad who remains beloved by nigh all hip-hop heads while largely skirting mainstream success. In addition to his skills as an MC, his dar...
GRIP Drops Debut Album I Died for This!? on Eminem’s Label: Stream
Atlanta rapper GRIP has just released I Died for This!?, his guest-heavy new album and official debut on Eminem’s label Shady Records. Stream it below via Apple Music and Spotify. I Died for This!? is the third studio album GRIP has dropped over the years, following 2019’s Snubnose and 2017’s Porch. This time around, though, he’s leveling up in terms of his lyrical prowess and the guests he surrounds himself with — and clearly Slim Shady himself took notice. In fact, Eminem felt so strongly about GRIP’s future that he even hopped on “Walkthrough!,” undoubtedly the record’s biggest single. There are other big names across the LP’s 15 tracks, too, like Kenny Mason, Big Rube, and Royce da 5’9″. Plus, GRIP is also joined later on by Wiley from Atlanta, Dead Cassettes, Tate228, A...
Turnstile Unleash New Album Glow On: Stream
Turnstile have uncorked their hotly anticipated third album, Glow On. Stream it below via Apple Music and Spotify. Glow On is the follow-up to 2018’s Time & Space, and comes in the wake of the surprise June EP Turnstile Love Connection. The album features a collaboration with Blood Orange, “Alien Love Call,” as well as the singles “Blackout” and “Mystery.” It was co-produced by vocalist Brendan Yates with Mike Elizondo, and finds the Baltimore hardcore band continuing to expand their sound. There’s plenty of heavy thunder to keep the mosh pit roiling, but the band have also borrowed from emo, shoegaze, and alternative palettes to create something stunningly original. In his review for Consequence, our own Spencer Kaufman wrote, “Turnst...
