Yes Lawd! — we’re back with another installment of our Weekly Dope playlist.
This week, The Game took the cover with his fantastic work on 1992. I’m sure Anderson .Paak and Knxwledge’s NxWorries project will remain in rotation more often, but The Game’s latest studio release is top-notch. Plus, the artwork — illustrated by the same OG that laced Snoop’s iconic Doggystyle cover — is fresh as hell.
On top of 1992 and Yes Lawd, we also got Gucci Mane’s Woptober album a few days early. Kevin Hart released a mixtape under his Chocolate Droppa alias, Boogie delivered the follow-up to his breakout Thirst 48 project, and Skeme shared a collection of freestyles he recorded in One Night Only. Wiz Khalifa and Taylor Gang dropped their TGOD compilation, Yelawolf checked into a Hotel, and RJ continued Taking N****s Beats. Oh, and Travi$ Scott did not release an EP called Days Before Birds on Apple Music.
Locked in at 51 tracks, Volume 21 kicks off with Nas’ incredible opening verse on “Deep” with Robin Thicke. Kendrick Lamar added a verse to Maroon 5’s new single. Pusha T dropped a pair of tracks. Big K.R.I.T. is a “Free Agent.” Tech N9ne, Logic, and Joyner Lucas set fire to “Sriracha.” Dave East and Maino ripped a couple freestyles. Kanye West’s “Timmy Turner (Remix)” finally arrived in its official form. Plus new music from E-40, MC Eiht & DJ Premier, Yelawolf, Wale, Big Sean, 2 Chainz, and more.
