New Music Friday: New Albums From Juice WRLD, Kodak Black, G Herbo & More

This week’s Thanksgiving edition of Music Friday gives rap fans plenty to be grateful for, thanks largely to another posthumous Juice WRLD album, the third since his tragic death a little over five years ago.

Because of the rapper’s prolific output during his short lifespan, his record labels are still able to pump out 18 tracks for the project without resorting to copious amounts of guest features or recycled material.

A couple of Hip Hop’s most controversial personalities in Kodak Black and Yungeen Ace have also released new full-length projects in an attempt to prove there they’re more than just magnets for drama.

Fans of G Herbo‘s appropriately-named 2023 mixtape Strictly 4 My Fans also get an extra dose of the Chi-Town MC as he delivers a deluxe package with some bonus heat.

Rounding out this week’s releases are Keep Me Company from veteran Brooklyn wordsmith Skyzoo and a new greatest hits compilation from soulful songbird Jhené Aiko.

Check out all the new albums below and don’t miss this week’s New Music Friday singles from Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre, Polo G, Benny The Butcher, Redman, The LOX and more.
