If, like us, J. Cole<\/a>\u2018s The Fall-Off<\/a> has remained heavy in your rotation over the last seven days, then there\u2019s plenty of new music this week that\u2019s about to compete for your attention.<\/p>\n

Leading the bill is a previously-unreleased posthumous track from the late, great Nipsey Hussle<\/a> and his close collaborator Bino Rideaux<\/a>, the first offering from their newly-announced album Prolific which is due out this summer.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a couple of heavyweight producer-driven collaborations from The Alchemist<\/a>, who serves up the lead single from his Spiral Staircases<\/a> project with Larry June<\/a> and Curren$y<\/a> (out February 20), and Mike WiLL Made-It<\/a>, who calls on NBA YoungBoy<\/a> and Chief Keef<\/a> to help him build buzz for his upcoming solo LP R3SET (out March 20).<\/p>\n

On the albums front, R&B lovers are spoiled for choice as we head into Valentine\u2019s Day weekend thanks to Brent Faiyaz<\/a>, who drops off the eagerly anticipated Icon, executive produced by none other than Raphael Saadiq<\/a>, while Jill Scott<\/a> returns with the star-studded To Whom This May Concern which features JID<\/a>, Ab-Soul<\/a>, DJ Premier<\/a> and others.<\/p>\n
