HIPHOPDX

New Music Friday might be lacking big names on the albums front this week, but there is no shortage of quality as Tee Grizzley returns with Post Traumatic, his most complete project yet.

There’s also a sad reminder that Rich Homie Quan was taken from us too soon as his first posthumous album arrives.

Toosii continues to build momentum as one of the younger generation’s most exciting artists with the release of his latest project Jaded, while there are some deluxe releases from two of the best singers in the game, Sampha and Victoria Monét.

Rome Streetz and Daringer also combine to create a street classic, with Leon Bridges offering the opposite vibe with his angelic and nostalgic Leon.

Victoria Monét — Jaguar II (Deluxe)

Featuring: Usher, Bryson Tiller, Thundercat

Production: D’Mile, Camper, Justus West, xSDTRK

Label: Lovett Music / RCA

The R&B star follows up her Best New Artist Grammy win with an epilogue to her breakout year as a solo singer that also hints at a more daring future. Featuring a generous 10 new songs, the deluxe edition of Jaguar II finds Monét flirting with funkier sounds with hints of disco, while she also throws in a cover of the classic Sade hit “Love is Stronger Than Pride.”

Sampha — Lahai (Deluxe)

Featuring: Little Simz

Production: Sampha, Kwake Bass

Label: Young

The acclaimed British singer delivers a short but sweet update to his 2023 album Lahai with four new tracks, including a stand-out collaboration with fellow Londoner Little Simz. Let’s hope we don’t have to wait another six years for Sampha’s next project.
