image

More than halfway through the first quarter of 2024, and the joints just keep coming. This week’s album releases include a New York rap veteran releases the fifth and final installment of a long-running mixtape series, an earthly duo representing Atlanta drops a futuristic EP, a Las Vegas rap-crooner drops his third full-length album and more.

French Montana Releases Mac & Cheese 5 Mixtape, Final Installment in the Series

With the release of Mac & Cheese 5, French Montana is closing the book on a beloved mixtape series. Following Mac Wit Da Cheese (2009), Mac & Cheese 2 (2010), Mac & Cheese 3 (2012) and MC4 (2016), the Bronx, N.Y. rapper delivers the final chapter.

The latest edition features a star-studded cast of guest appearances including Kanye West, Rick Ross, Lil Durk, JID and Westside Gunn, among many others. Back in December, French dropped the Lil Baby-assisted lead single “Okay,” which is produced by ATL Jacob. Originally slated to drop at the top of the year, French hit up Instagram to roll out Mac & Cheese 5‘s notable guest features by posting images of many high-profile artists on boxes of macaroni and cheese dinners surrounded by fish scales, bricks and cash.

Earthgang Unleashes A.I.-Themed Robophobia EP

Earthgang returns this week with Robophobia, a 5-track EP that serves as the conceptual follow-up to 2023’s RIP Human Art with Spillage Village. With their latest release, Dreamville’s genre-bending duo explores how artificial intelligence is affecting humanity. Led by the single “Blacklight” featuring Spillage Village, other guest appearances on the EP include Snoop Dogg and indie rock singer-songwriter Tommy Newport.

In unveiling Robophobia‘s elaborate cover art, Earthgang described the futuristic concept behind their new EP via Instagram.

“Robophobia is a sonic dive into a new terrain for @EarthGang as we explore new soundscapes and topics on imperfections, connections and projections within humanity’s relationship with each other and AI,” the Atlanta rhymers explained.

Ka$hdami Delivers Third Studio Album Oasis

After teasing its release for an entire year, Ka$hdami delivers his new album, Oasis. The Las Vegas rap-crooner’s third studio album finds him mostly riding solo on beats produced by beatsmiths such as Kill Dill, Mannyvelli and Alex Goldblatt. Previewed by two previously released singles, “Games” and “Want!,” Dro Kenji and Karri serve as the only two guest features on Oasis, lending their vocal skills to the songs “Different Timing” and “Hypnotized,” respectively.
