6. Baby Keem – Child with Wolves

9. Rapsody – Untitled
Rapsody’s release of Asteroids, produced by Hit-Boy, reminded fans of the quality lyricism by the North Carolina native, yet with plans a different approach for the new album.
“With this album, I wasn’t as focused on what I’m necessarily known for – being lyrical and all these metaphors and similes,” Rapsody said in Yahoo. “It’s going to come out naturally when it does, but it wasn’t a focus. I was focused on being more profound this time. Because especially like as a woman, I would love to be a representation for women and speak for women and have a connection with women.”
10. Megan THEE Stallion – Untitled
With the recent COBRA and HISS songs, the Texas Hotgirl has been giving unapologetic bars, making a release for 2024 worth checking.
