personally feel like it's been a suprisingly mid year with some pleasant surprises (shoutout to La Reezy I been finding myself going back to that album alot. Shoutout to Lulamoon for surprising tf outta me. And as much as I s*** talk to get niggas mad it is nice to see drake coming back to form, iceman prolly gonna be seen as the best rap album of 2026, I wouldn't be mad at it. It's definitely his best album of this decade)

but what yall think?

What could ever be the cause for the lack of event level albums consistently?

The Real Me and Xperiment were dope

Not even a drake glazer but no one wants to promote their album next to a drake takeover, especially 3 albums

I feel like the events will began again shortly. Jay coming

ask question

immediately critique responses to the question at hand

My disappointment was asap rockys drop. Its not even a bad album , i jusst feel disappointed

Enjoy your Saturday night bro

waiting for that deluxe and AWGE 4 dvd to drop

i just didnt like these two albums don't read too much into it lololololololol

enjoyed sha ray/dj haram, cavalier, & open mike eagle's projects. can't remember anything else rn.

en route to a free jazz gig at a skrip club actually

You’re right plus the albums were really good probably great.

I've always had something to listen to. All I ask for. Gotta check out Doomed by Open Mike

of the blockbuster releases Rocky album is my favorite i think but Iceman and the fall off yes you read that right The Fall Off are cool. Octane is super fun too but i some people here are tired of Don

BUT its a good year for more "underground" /non mainstream music imo, Earl still has my favorite rap project this year, Teller Banks, Marci, Navy Blue (hes had a nice run last couple albums) and some others

yeah exactly always something exciting to check out

baby keem and chief keef albums were disappointing to me

mainstream wise pretty barren besides rocky album

but underground or lesser known its been some good releases, diamond* tape is probably my fav and larry june album was p good

been finding things i've enjoyed most weeks

The La Reezy album the only one that truly stuck with me tbh. Though there have been some cool releases

jpeg and cole the only ones that have gotten played outside of release week

Been playing 656 by roc marci all year and that s*** dropped in January

Edit: just checked last.fm and it says I got 1.6k plays on that alone

All the other albums arent even from this year

I legit only listened to that Jpeg album once

I understand, it's cool rap music but that s*** served no purpose whatsoever. It just exist
