We’re halfway through the year and hip-hop continues to bring huge heat to your listening enjoyment. Albums from Gunna, Chief Keef, Rapsody and more have made things hot in the last month. But with June here, upcoming projects from Moneybagg Yo, Don Toliver, Hunxho, Yelawolf, Lupe Fiasco and more will ensure a very hot summer. See the new music release below.
Moneybagg Yo’s “Speak Now” album
After revealing his emotional side on his 2023 mixtape Hard to Love , Moneybagg Yo is ready to fully express his feelings on his new studio album Speak Now . Set to be released on June 14, the Memphis rapper promises fans that the upcoming project will be both meaty and raw, just like he did on his previous albums.
“Every action has a reaction, timing is everything, message is power,” Moneybagg wrote in his Instagram post, which can be viewed below. “[I’m] In raw form, this doesn’t cut it for my core day one fan base, people who have been there since the beginning!
In Moneybagg Yo’s latest video, “Tryna Make Sure,” the CMG artist makes it clear that nothing has changed and he’s still here making paper and building luxury cars. Below is a great video of Peep Moneybagg.

Hardstone Psycho album by Don Toliver
Don Tolliver already has it all, and he loves his life now. Back in March, Don and his partner, singer Kali Uchis, celebrated the arrival of their first child – a baby boy – into the world. Now, the Houston rapper is looking forward to the arrival of another treasured project in his life, his new album Hardstone Psycho .
The record’s first single, “Attitude,” will be released on June 14 and features Charlie Wilson and Cash Cobain. Produced by Cobain, the song samples Snoop Dogg and Pharrell’s classic summer anthem “Beautiful.”
The accompanying music video (which can be watched below) features Don playing the leader of a motorcycle club, rocking leather gear and sunglasses. Cactus Jack captain Travis Scott makes a cameo in the visual, which features shots of people dancing and bikers performing stunts on the streets of New York.
