Chris Brown – ‘X’ + Other Hip Hop Album Release Dates

We’ve been lucky enough to catch a buzz off some great hip hop releases in recent weeks and months – including offerings from Lil Wayne, Kanye, J. Cole, Wale and Jay Z just to name a few. It’s kind of like the old expression, “When it rains it pours.” After taking a look at upcoming album releases, the forecast is looking more like a drought.

Don’t get me wrong, some good-looking collaborative efforts and underground projects are ready for launch. But we don’t have a true, superstar release to look forward to until the end of August. Chris Brown and Big Sean will both drop their latest albums before summer’s end.
