The rappers announced that they’ll be givingΒ their fans not one, but two albums respectively this year.Β
Reclusive rapper Kid CudiΒ hasn’t dropped a single in a year,Β but that’s all changing.Β In a series of tweets, the Day ‘N’ Night singer gave us a glimpse into his thought processΒ and after a 3 year hiatus since his biggest hit, proclaimed that he’s “making moreΒ heat” with two new albums this year.
So my plan is to release 2 albums this year. One for the summer and another for the fall. I finished this new one already. Fine tuning now

In an Instagram post, Cudi revealed the title to one of his albums:Β Passion, Pain, and Demon Slayin. The album’s eerie title may beΒ in reference to his recent emotional rants on social media and the supposed ‘death letter‘ that he wrote to his fans last year.
Cudi already has fans hyped, as he announcedΒ on Twitter that Travi$ ScottΒ is confirmed to be featured on the album. An official dropΒ date hasn’t been released, but Cudi says that one album is coming out in the Summer and the other in theΒ Fall.
.@trvisXX is here. He's officially my only feature thus far on the album. Pretty tasty huh? Yeah. Were jammin and sippin. Join us ????

Rapper, Lil Wayne took another course of action in announcing his big news. In a YouTube video, Wayne said “I want yβall to know I got two new albums coming yβall way.” In the now viral video, WayneΒ wasΒ also heard taking jabs at former friend and business partner Birdman. Wayne hyped up the crowd as he chantedΒ “F**k Birdman!”
The beef between the two first started in 2014 when Wayne claimed that Birdman’s label Cash Money was refusing to let Wayne release his album. Then, in January, Wayne sued Birdman and Cash Money for over $50 million in an effort to get out of his contract. The highly publicized fight took off from there and escalatedΒ in April when Wayne’s tour bus was shot up, with Birdman and Young Thug being called in to question as suspects.
In the midst of it all, Wayne is still moving forward with releasing two albums. We suspect one of those albums may be the highly anticipated Carter V, but we’ll just have to wait and see.
