AM I THE DRAMA?

Image
AM I THE DRAMA? Album ∙ Hip-Hop/Rap ∙ 2025 Cardi B It’s been seven years since the Bronx superstar’s debut album, 2018’s record-breaking  Invasion of Privacy , which debuted atop the Billboard 200 with the largest female rap streaming week of all time and made Cardi the first solo female artist to win the Best Rap Album Grammy. For anybody wondering what she’s been up to in the meantime, allow her to set the record straight: When she wasn’t flexing at Fashion Week, she was mostly holed up in the studio, battling a mean case of writer’s block. “I really went through a crash where nothing was pleasing me—nothing,” the artist born Belcalis Almánzar tells Apple Music’s Zane Lowe. Despite spending more time in the studio than at home, Cardi describes recording song after song that just didn’t feel right while fans clamored for  Invasion of Privacy ’s hotly anticipated follow-up. Rather than brush off the funk, Cardi harnessed the full force of its power on  AM I THE DRAMA? , h...

For Her 2

Image
For Her 2 Album ∙ Hip-Hop/Rap ∙ 2025 Hunxho Hunxho likes to dedicate his albums to those closest to him. Eight months before the release of his 2025 album  For Her 2 , he dropped  For Us , a celebration of the women in his life and the many milestones they celebrated. It was originally seen as a spiritual sequel of sorts to his 2023 album  For Her , but that story is being continued in an official capacity with  For Her 2 . On the album, the lovestruck Atlanta rapper sings of the strongest relationships in his life. “If Only,” which features 21 Savage, finds Hunxho employing his signature thick Auto-Tune and singing about the chances he no longer has to show his love how much he loves her. “Intimate Relationships” finds him rummaging through the aftermath of a betrayal. Things are less regretful on the raunchy “#1 Girl,” which finds the rapper promising his partner that no matter what he does, she still has his heart.

Free

Free Album ∙ Hip-Hop/Rap ∙ 2025 Nasty C As a fixture of South African hip-hop for the past decade, Nasty C would like it to be known that upon the release of his aptly titled fifth album,  Free , he’s more at peace with his creative practice than ever. “This album was inspired by feeling free to be creative and do all sorts of different new stuff, and experience some new things,” the Durban-raised MC tells Apple Music. “That’s pretty much what it was, and exploring different sounds.” On his previous album, 2023’s  I Love It Here , Nasty celebrated the joys of fatherhood and the thrills of a stable relationship over the bouncy trap-influenced instrumentals he’s become known for. With  Free , he embraces the mobility of self-determination, delighting in an ability to chart a course for himself, regardless of where it lands him. Across the project’s 16 songs, Nasty runs through a range of emotions and life experiences. He’s back outside on the trippy “Shmokin” and then regal...

I NEVER GAVE AF

Image
I NEVER GAVE AF Album ∙ Hip-Hop/Rap ∙ 2025 Raq baby Like so many of the Atlanta superstars who have helped shape modern rap music, the city’s Raq baby has an almost preternatural gift for melody. He rarely writes hooks, instead choosing to infuse every one of his bars with a sticky-sweet singsong flow. The best way to figure out what differentiates a verse from a chorus is listening to hear which one he repeats. It allows Raq baby to rap like he’s sprinting to a finish line only he can see, rhyming lyric after lyric with zero intention of stopping until the beat quits playing and the recording engineer tells him it’s time to go home. The energy of his delivery and earworm nature of the vocals belie some intense, deeply personal subject matter. On the album opener, “DoorDash (OMG),” he laments that he’s bad at embracing how he feels, but goes crazy over his pills. On “Feel Bad,” which features G Herbo, he acknowledges that he can’t go anywhere without a weapon, knowing that one slip-up ...

Man Up

Image
Man Up Album ∙ Hip-Hop/Rap ∙ 2025 Ice Cube Ice Cube’s  Man Up  is a sequel of sorts, a companion piece to his 2024 album,  Man Down . Whereas  Man Down  was buoyed by braggadocious rap cuts like “It’s My Ego” and the vicious gangsta rap throwback “So Sensitive,”  Man Up  leans into Cube’s more philosophical side. He plays the activist and leader on his 2025 effort: On “Before Hip Hop,” he examines the ways in which rap music is blamed for many societal ills that existed long before the genre came to fruition. “Act My Age,” which features Scarface, is an homage to and encouragement toward all the MCs who are rapping into middle age and bringing valuable perspectives to a genre led by younger artists. It’s uplifting, and though it’s one of many tracks imbued with a positive social message, Cube still leaves plenty of time to mess around and talk shit over classic gangsta rap beats. “Forget Me If You Ain’t Wit Me” is crafted for top-down cruises on the 91...
