Friday is shaping up to be one of the heaviest release days of the fall. November 13 brings new albums from Wiz Khalifa, Offset, Westside Gunn, Benny the Butcher, Babyface Ray and Boldy James, plus Sleepy Hallow, Aesop Rock and Snoh Aalegra \u2014 a lineup that runs from Taylor Gang smoke to Griselda grit to Detroit street rap, all landing on the same night.<\/p>\n

\"Wiz<\/p>\n

Wiz Khalifa leads the marquee with \u201cCool,\u201d his first album under his new deal with 10K Projects alongside Taylor Gang. Wiz has spent the year reminding everybody that his run never really stopped, and \u201cCool\u201d arrives as the statement record of this chapter \u2014 a veteran who helped define an era of rap coming back through a new door with the same laid-back confidence that built his name.<\/p>\n

\"Offset<\/p>\n

Offset\u2019s \u201cGMFU (Got Me Fucked Up)\u201d might be the most watched drop of the night. His fourth solo studio album on Motown was originally slated for October before a delay pushed it to Friday, and the features list he revealed ahead of release only raised the stakes: Quavo, Gunna, Loe Shimmy, OsamaSon, ApolloRed1 and Tommy Richman. A Quavo appearance on an Offset solo record will get its own headlines, and with the Migos story still writing itself, every verse on this one is going to be read twice.<\/p>\n

\"Westside<\/p>\n

\"Benny<\/p>\n

Griselda gets a double. Westside Gunn releases \u201cHEELMATIC,\u201d a 16-track album and his first full-length under the Mass Appeal banner, while Benny the Butcher drops \u201cA Friend of Ours 2\u201d the same night. Two core members of the Buffalo movement dropping side by side is a moment in itself \u2014 and it sets up a family-run November, with Conway the Machine\u2019s \u201cOTIS\u201d following a week later on November 20.<\/p>\n

\"Babyface<\/p>\n

\"Boldy<\/p>\n

Detroit shows up strong, too. Babyface Ray\u2019s \u201cUNF*CKWITABLE II\u201d follows last year\u2019s \u201cCodeine Cowboy,\u201d and Boldy James brings \u201cBentayga Genesis,\u201d a 14-track set produced entirely by Antt Beatz.<\/p>\n

\"Sleepy<\/p>\n

\"Aesop<\/p>\n

\"Belly<\/p>\n

\"Montana<\/p>\n

\"Snoh<\/p>\n

The rest of the board is deep. Sleepy Hallow returns with the 23-track \u201cSTILL SLEEP ??,\u201d Aesop Rock and Blockhead team up for \u201cTrouble Mountain,\u201d Belly Gang Kushington drops \u201cGOOD DOPE SELL ITSELF,\u201d Montana 700 brings \u201cReminiscing,\u201d Snoh Aalegra offers \u201cLegendary Love\u201d and Tay-K returns with \u201c5LIPSTREAM.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
