Hip-Hop was nothing short of iconic in 2018 with the number of releases from new and old artist alike, the question for 2019 is can it match the hectic breakneck pace of 2018? While that question has yet to be answered there will be the albums/project you should watch out for in the month of June. With entries coming from Tyga, Chris Brown, Freddie Gibbs and many more.

June 6: Tyga – “Legendary”

Tyga is looking to complete the biggest comeback of 2019 with his seventh solo album “Legendary”  dropping just in time for summer, scheduled for Friday, June 7. The follow-up to the ‘Kyoto,’ chart-topping singles like ‘Taste,’ and “Girls Have Fun;’ as well as jumping on Marshmello and YG’s recent tracks have kept the momentum going into the release of his album.

The Last Kings founder shared the project’s cover art and release date via social media on Monday (June 3).

June 21: Chris Brown – “Indigo”

“I’m just letting y’all know this s**t coming out June 21,” Chris Brown exclaimed during his 30th birthday party on May 5th.

Breezy has a busy summer ahead having a joint tour with Nicki Minaj, as a follow-up to 2017’s album “Indigo” is set to feature 30 tracks including singles ‘Undecided,’ ‘Back to Love,’ and ‘ Wobble Up,’ featuring appearances from Drake, Justin Bieber, Tory Lanez, Tyga, H.E.R., Joyner Lucas, Gunna, and Juicy J this album looks to be very interesting.

June 21: ILoveMakonnen – “M3”

Described as an intro into his life after 2017, ILOVEMAKONNEN’s  “M3” set for a June 21 release the new music keeps flowing in 2019 dropping Gucci Mane collaboration ‘Spendin’  back in January, as well as appearing alongside the late Lil Peep on ‘I’ve Been Waiting.’ The EP is Makonnen’s first official release through label Warner Bros. since “Red Trap Dragon” three years ago.

June 28: Freddie Gibbs & Madlib – “Bandana”

After more than a decade of grinding as an independent artist, Freddie Gibbs inked a deal with RCA/Keep Cool in March to release a new collaborative album, ‘Bandana.’ It will be his second with Madlib, and follows the pair’s acclaimed 2014 set, ‘Piñata.’

“We up there with [’90s hip-hop duo] Pete Rock & CL Smooth,” he says. “We the best doing it [today]. You got Run the Jewels, and I love what they do, but what me and Madlib do? It stands alone.”

His unfiltered, in-your-face attitude, Gibbs mirrors the grime and grit of 1990s rap and ‘Bandana,’ out June 28, stands in stark contrast to today’s SoundCloud rap scene.

June 28: Mustard – “Perfect Ten”

A confirmed released on June 28 by way of the producer Mustard’s Instagram,  Perfect Ten album artwork features a young DJ Mustard. Migos collaboration ‘Pure Water,’ and ‘100 Bands’ with Quavo, 21 Savage, Meek Mill, and YG will keep fans craving for more until the album’s release.

These are just the albums confirmed to be released this month, a little to whet the appetite of any hip-hop fan. Surely there will be an artist to drop an album or mixtape to turn the game on its head. (I’m looking at you Curren$y)
