5 Hip Hop Albums to look forward to in April


By - EB

Tyler, The Creator (Wolf) - Although were not the biggest fans of the Odd Future crew were still excited to see how the team leader delivers his new piece of "Art" to the fans. It would be really cool to hear something not so horror rap generic and something a little more lyrically stimulating, but the chances are slim. He's getting his album out before crew member Earl Sweatshirt so were expecting it wont be as good. Its set to release April 2, 2013.

Tyga (Hotel California) - The third studio album from the Young Money Cash Money young gun is getting quite a bit of hype with features from Rick Ross, Chris Brown, Jadakiss, 2 Chainz, Wiz Khalifa, Lil Wayne, Future, and the late great Tupac Shakur. Tyga's previous work was nothing to brag about but it's hard to say he isn't a talented rapper. He spoke with Complex magazine last year and said that he was ready to make "smarter records". We're looking forward to it. It is set to release April 9th, 2013.

Ghostface Killah (Twelve Reasons to Die) - Wu-Tang legend and prominent member is releasing his 10th studio album under the RZA Soul Temple record label. It was originally push back to not conflict with RZA's, Man With The Iron Fists movie soundtrack. The LP is concept album based on the comic book Twelve Reasons to Die. Anything from the Clan gets us excited. It's set to release April 16th, 2013.

Kid Cudi (Indicud) - The third solo album from the G.O.O.D music artist may be the most exciting of the month. After deciding that he was not going to use this album as the third instalment of the Man on the Moon series he aimed to take this album in a different direction. Cudi plans to make this his version of Dr. Dre's The Chronic 2001 where he will produce, feature and play a song writer all in one. Comparing himself to the Doc leaves lots of room for criticism so obviously were stoked to see what happens. It's set to release April 23rd, 2013. (Unofficial Album Artwork)

Snoop Lion (Reincarnated) - If it was a Snoop Dogg album it would be his twelfth solo album but instead this is his first go as the new Snoop Lion. It is a departure from the regular Hip-Hop Snoop and his attempt at a reggae musical direction. It's going to be especially exciting to see whether he can pull it off and if it makes or breaks his Hip-Hop career.  It's set to release April 23rd, 2013.
