Cole, Nicki Minaj, 21 Savage, Internet Money, Young Nudy, Kodak Black, T-Pain, and more. It was a busy week for new music. The big dogs have officially woken up-- most notably J. Coleand Nicki Minaj who both ended their long musical hiatuses with high-profile releases on Friday. The real returned as J. Cole came through with his long-awaited new album The Off-Season which has received AOTY (so far) praise all over social media. Nicki Minaj also returned with the re-release of her debut mixtape Beam Me Up Scotty which included a few new songs featuring Drake Lil Wayne and more. It seems as though some of the world's favorite artists are picking up the slack, tuning up for an exciting summer on the release front. With J. Cole promising a couple more albums before he hangs up his microphone and Nicki Minaj also seemingly working on new music, the possibilities are endless as we wait for more heat to drop in the coming months. As always, the HNHH staff mulled over all of the recent releases -- including new singles from Internet Money, YoungBoy Never Broke Again, Coi Leray, Rich Homie Quan and more -- to come through with a list of our favorite new records in the hip-hop and R&B world.
