This week\u2019s New Music Friday marks the beginning of a new chapter for multiple artists.<\/p>\n
After a five-year hiatus, Isaiah Rashad<\/a> returns to kickstart the rollout for his new album with \u201cSame Sh!t,\u201d a southern-fried trunk-rattler that captures the feeling of being stuck in Groundhog Day. The TDE rapper\u2019s third LP It\u2019s Been Awful<\/a> drops May 1.<\/p>\n Also ending a lengthy break between albums, DJ Khaled<\/a> revives his usual formula by tapping trap titans Future<\/a> and Lil Baby<\/a> for \u201cOne of Them,\u201d the lead single from his long-delayed 14th album Aalam of God. Whether this is really one of them ones is up for debate.<\/p>\n Extending his prolific streak since purchasing Death Row Records, Snoop Dogg<\/a> reunites with a few familiar faces \u2014 Pharrell, Swizz Beatz, Erick Sermon, Rick Rock and Soopafly \u2014 on his new album Ten \u2018Til Midnight, which accompanies his recently-released movie of the same name.<\/p>\n By far the most explosive release this week is Gucci Mane<\/a>\u2018s \u201cCrash Dummy,\u201d<\/a> a defiant diss song aimed at Pooh Shiesty and Big30, who are facing federal charges for allegedly kidnapping and robbing<\/a> the 1017 boss earlier this year.<\/p>\n Elsewhere, Yasiin Bey<\/a> (fka Mos Def) delivers a rare freestyle over Future, Metro Boomin and Kendrick Lamar\u2019s \u201cLike That\u201d (via his Substack channel, but a snippet can be heard below), BossMan Dlow<\/a> and Joyner Lucas<\/a> both drop star-studded projects, and there are surprise link-ups between Doechii<\/a> and Lady Gaga, and Kehlani<\/a> and Missy Elliott<\/a>.<\/p>\n Check out the best new rap albums and songs below.<\/p>\n Isaiah Rashad \u2014 \u201cSame Sh!t\u201d<\/p>\n Produced By: Don Oskar, Mario Luciano & Nate Hobden<\/p>\n Gucci Mane \u2014 \u201cCrash Dummy\u201d (Pooh Shiesty & Big30 Diss)<\/p>\n Produced By: Zaytoven<\/p>\n DJ Khaled feat.
