ARTISTS ON MY WATCH

Hopefully 2016 ends the way it started, with constant drops that were all unbelievable. Kendrick, Drake, ScHoolboy Q, Wale, Logic, and much much more all dropped new projects. This is a list of artists I'm keeping my eye on to possibly drop new music in 2016.

Childish Gambino - Pharos
It's been a while since Gambino dropped anything new, (besides his new TV show 'Atlanta', which is great so far, by the way). And Gambino's new album Pharos is expected sometime in 2016. I love Gambino's unique style and bars. I would say its safe to expect 'Pharos' sometime in October or early November and I can't wait.

Kendrick Lamar / Black Hippy - TBA
There's been no new news about a possible drop from Kendrick but this is an assumption I'm making. I would assume that the new album would come out closer to 2017 or just in 2017, but it's on this list because it's Kendrick and how can you not be excited for his new album. We'll keep an eye out.

As for Black Hippy, we are all expecting a drop from Black Hippy and we're just waiting on a date. Whether it's an album, a single, or a mixtape, I can't wait to see what's in store from Black Hippy.

Mac Miller - The Divine Feminine 
Mac Miller's new album drops September 16th, 2016, which is only 3 days away today. I am very excited for this album even though GO:OD AM ended up being a little less than I expected it to be. Based on the singles from the album so far, (Dang! (feat. Anderson .Paak, We (feat. CeeLo Green) and My Favorite Part (feat. Ariana Grande)) I have high hopes for this project.

Logic - TBA 
Logic just recently dropped his hype mixtape 'Bobby Tarantino' for his fans while he works on his album. While I see his album coming out in 2017, he could surprise everyone and drop it late 2016. Logic is one of my favorites and I can't wait to see how his album comes out and what direction he takes towards it.

Meek Mill - DC4
Meek's last 3 Dreamchasers mixtapes were some of the best "murda" music I've ever heard. And I expect nothing less from DC4. As much hate as Meek gets, there is something so enticing about his music. I would expect DC4 either as early as the end of September or as late as December, but I can almost guarantee it will come out in 2016. He recently gave us a sneak peek with the drops of 4-4 and 4-4 Pt. 2, with songs like Gave Em Hope, War Pain, and Pray for Em. He comes with aggressiveness and a will to be respected again. And he'll be back with his same style and same aggressive bars, it's just a question as to when it finally drops.
