“the only month of the year that starts with the letter J” - Shawn Cee 2023

ASAP Rocky's album is gonna blow our minds

A Griselda Possecut tape would be fucking crazy. By themselves they’ve been dropping heat constantly for the last few years, so it’s time for a tape with them all together (including Boldy,Rome and Stove of course). IMO the best label out there rn.

Love Tyler's last 3 albums in the last 6 years and would love it if he dropped another one this year. but i think this the best time for him to take a long break from dropping an album, give himself more time to experiment with his sound in a way that he hasn't before and gain more life experience to help evolve that new sound.

Still praying for a Frank Ocean album this year idc

I want Run The Jewels to drop RTJ5 this year because it will be their 10th anniversary

Dam Shawn hit me with that reality check, with "do we really think we're going to get a Frank Ocean album this year, most likely not."

I just want another Danny Brown album because he’s so good man! Also Carti, Travis and A$AP would be crazy in the same year…

I need me a Shawn Cee R&B album this year on bro

Peggy said he's dropping 3 albums this year, which is insane, even if one of those is the Danny brown Collab

12:26 - Abel said he was working on a new TRILOGY and "After Hours" and "Dawn FM" are the first 2 parts, so maybe he‘s dropping in late 2023 or early 2024, that‘s my prediction. He said part of the reason he made "My Dear Melancholy" because he didn‘t want more than a 2 year gap between albums, so thankfully, he‘s not going anywhere, he‘s not gonna go on a hiatus like Kendrick. And like Shawn said, when he does drop, it will be welcomed with open arms. edit: 13:15 - I‘m always happy when Drake drops new music. edit 2: I forgot "The Idol" soundtrack is coming, too.

Definitely not my most anticipated, but an artist I’d be intent on hearing new stuff from is Amine because I feel that over time I’ve generally enjoyed all of his work

I'm surprised you didn't mention 21 Savage, I've been waiting on him to drop a solo album for a while now, Pusha T said he's doing a Gangsta Grillz project with Dj Drama, I'm hoping for Lil Wayne to drop Tha Carter 6, Lil Uzi Vert said he's dropping The Pink Tape some times this year, and I'm still anticipating Lil Durk & Metro Boomin's album No Auto Durk

We NEED new Daniel Caesar. I think he already hinted but I NEED it now

Still waiting for a new Cal Chuchesta project, He dropped a generation defining mixtape and than just dipped

Here’s some I’m excited for: Sampha Dave J Hus Kanye Tyler Frank Ocean Travis Scott 21 Savage solo album Rihanna Polo G ( the wait since his last album has me hopeful he actually lives up to his talent and goes for a different sound this time) Jay Z Pa Salieu Kano Fredo The Weeknd ( 3rd part of After Hours trilogy might come at end of year) J Cole Slowthai ASAP Rocky Future and Metro Boomin collab album Pusha T and Madlib collab album ( hopefully happens) Anderson Paak Beyoncé ( Renaissance pt 2) Baby Keem Schoolboy Q James Blake Skepta

I'm surprised you didn't mention Don Toliver. He's definitely an artist that I'm hoping drops an album this year.

i really cant wait for what J Cole does with Its a Boy. his rapping has only gotten better since the off season and all his features. then you add a concept record to it with his song writing skills. might be his best album but who knows

i really want to hear a project from pinkpantheress, her music is so infectious and just fun even if it’s sad lyrics. i like the short songs but i want some long ones too and just a nice longer project.

I'm anticipating that NxWorries album - I'm pretty sure they're dropping one because I'm seeing them live in London this May... So i'm guessing before May. My Guess would be early April.. 🤞

Honestly the most hype i have rn for this years albums is Utopia.. and part of the reason is that the last 10/10 "mainstream" album was actually astroworld imo

I need an album from Pivot Gang, Travis Scott, Flatbush Zombies, Lil Uzi Vert, Gallant, Victoria Monet, and Tyler The Creator

Feel like everyone forgets Flatbush Zombies… they definitely deserve more respect and shine. Shawn you’ve even loved most of their work.

Need some new frank ocean its time now

It hasn't just been since 2017 for Tyler dropping every other year. Bastard came out in 2009, goblin came out in 2011, wolf came out in 2013, Cherry bomb came out in 2015, flower boy came out in 2017, Igor came out in 2019, and call me if you get lost came out in 2021. So I would be very surprised if we didn't get an album this year. He drops an album for every year with an odd number, cuz of odd Future

This Is Why is definitely the album I'm most looking forward to this year, Paramore are sounding so good and refreshing on the singles they've dropped so far and I expect the album to be great

I’d like to hear more Saba and Kali Uchis

Honorable mention for NAV dropping NAV 2 which I hope will be closely good as the first one

I just want a new H.E.R. album after her lack lustered performance on back of my mind besides a few cuts like damage i feel like a new redemption album from her this year would be perfect

I NEED A NEW SAMPHA ALBUM SO BAD

D’Angelo dropping something out the blue, I just know it’s going to happen

I know they "don't see eye to eye" for lack of a better term but i've always wanted some type of joint project from Travis Scott & A$AP Rocky

Out of the artists you mentioned in the video, I really want new music from Sampha, Schoolboy Q, A$AP Rocky, Skepta and Travis. A new album by Tyler would be cool, hopefully not as long as the last one. Honestly I don't need another album from The Weeknd rn, I'm still bumping stuff from Dawn FM. Maybe I would enjoy more an EP in the second half of the year. Also, I feel very saturated by Drake's music, but I bet that he's gonna drop at least one project this year. Also also, I know very few songs that I like from youngboy but since he's so quantity over quality I bet he's gonna drop like a project every two months 😭 💀

i need a sampha album too man hes one of my favourites its been so long

Youngboy has an album dropping tonight but he went way too hard last year. Im sure his fans appreciate it but for me its getting hard to differentiate songs with so much output

Eviscerated by Funeral was my favorite project of the year and witdemkillas is my favorite song I heard this year. Thanks for putting me onto that

It’s good to see Shawn a little less angry lately. Therapy paying off. 🎉

Can’t believe Shawn didn’t mention wanting the Boldy J Dilla project that Boldy’s been talking about and teasing. Boldy James the best rapper out right now so, I’m highly anticipating that project!

Bro, before I watched this video I didn't even know who Blood Orange is, I went to check his songs out, pretty dope. Thanks for the plug Cee!!

benny said a cuppa months ago that they are currently working on WWCD2, SHIT HAS ME VERY EXCITED. i feel that benny, conway, and wes, are all at their peak, their best at the moment, coming back together seems like it would only make sense

Need that earl and alchemist collab now

Solo Danny Brown album is coming soon, I can feel it. I think it's a sequel to XXX? Would love to hear another Clipping album, another Run the Jewels album, artists that last dropped in 2020. New Flying Lotus would be cool too

This might come as a surprise but I want a new or continuation album from sheck wes, especially with him coming back to making music and releasing tracks like LFG! and PAIN! (My favorite recent track from him), I want a bombastic and explosive record from him on his supposed “Hell2Paradise” project. I came back listening to him last year and I’m hooked to his mudboy record a lot than before in 2018. I have hope.

that jpegmafia album finna hit like crack

Bro I pray we get another Griselda label album like WWCD but with the new signings like Boldy, shit would be immaculate.

I would want an Em album since he hasn’t dropped since the end of 2020 (other than a compilation) and also another Future album because….he’s Future

I don’t expect Abel to drop an album this year, but I need some singles. Creepin and Nothing Is Lost are great, but I need some After Life

I definitely want a follow-up to Process, cause that joint & CTRL were the best albums of 2017 imo. I think Frank Ocean might be headlining Coachella so hopefully he drops a new LP this year too.

some albums i'm most excited for this year are rocky's, the 2nd nxworries release, danny brown with quaranta and his peggy collab(fiending for that honestly), waiting for a third slowthai lp and that third bc,nr album, those live performances with the songs they've been working on after isaac left sound craaaazy

Slowthai got to be my most anticipated, but would love the danny brown x Peggy colab or a tyler album

Waiting on that Kelela drop. Something new from masego would be fire too

I hope jcole dropping this year. His last Album was 2 years ago and it’s still fire tho👀

Noname got my most anticipated album by far 🤞🏾🤎🤎🤎

Syd and Steve had their time doing the solo thing... lets come back together... I want a new album from The Internet. It's been 5 years now.

Hopefully Peggy releases THE GHOST~POP TAPE remaster this year, he’s mentioned in interviews he’s currently working on it and he’s releasing 3 albums this year so it’s a possibility?

Frank scheduled to headline Coachella so fingers crossed, also wouldn’t be mad at a new albums from Cole or Wale

Need a new Danny Brown album. One of the modern lyrical geniuses who isn't afraid to push boundaries.

Low-key want a collab project with Wiki and Earl Sweatshirt, Wiki's verse on AM Radio on Earl's second album and Earl's verse on All I Need on Wik's Half God makes me want to see what they can do together on a tape with Navy Blue on production

Bruhhh I feel you on sampha. I still have process in my most listened to albums every year. 😢

I don’t know the likelihood of it happening, but I could really use that kiLL edward album right about now (at least something for the 5 year anniversary of KOD).

I'm looking forward to a Cole project. And I'm kinda surprised you didn't include him in the video

I’m super instrested in Saint Jhn and Londons collab album the snippets have sounded amazing

I want Unlocked 2.0 and one of the collabs with Madlib

i agree with these picks, would also love another young nudy project as well

Amine has hinted at dropping If hr does that’s hype for me

hearing A$AP ROCKY from most features in different albums (Heroes and Villains, TYRON, Cheat Codes, ETC) makes me wanna hear this new album from him.

I would enjoy another Rhapsody project ❤️

I always love Rae Sremmurd songs for for turning up. They the king of party music imo. And usually their albums have some lowkey calm shit. I need more songs like changed up from Slim Jimmy. That song is great

“The only month that starts with the letter J” June and July: 😶‍🌫️-> 💨->

0:36 yessir that Sampha album is elite. It’s my aoty

2:36 minions is crazy

NXWORRIES - YES LAWD! PART 2 🔥🔥🔥

I think it’s time for a Gambino album. Atlanta is over so he’s had more time to sink into music. He even said he was working on music half a year ago in the Stephen colbert talk show if I remember correctly.

Who is Playboi Carti? In Geography, my World. In History, my King. In Mathematics, my Solution. In Mythology, my God. In Astronomy, my Universe. For the blind, he is the Light. For the hungry, he is the Bread. For the poor, he is the Wealth. For me, he is Everything.

My most anticipated album of 2023 is Ice Spice's Only Fans

Not sure if you’ve listened to moMINTs by Tobe Nwigwe and not for nothing by Jurdan Bryant and Spillage Village but I highly recommend them if you havent

When I need some west coast vibes I look up G Perico, he has kind of raken over the spot I once had for Schoolboy Q. But if he does drop this year I'm ready

can’t wait for Gune and Guly

Looking forward to new Travis, asap, weeknd, and swans

I need Schoolboy Q, Jpegmafia ,& A$AP Rockey. I would love for some rock bands to return. The Contortionist, Tesseract, Deftones. That's all I ask. The rest I'm opening to being surprised.

ima need that new NAV album fr 😤😤🥵

Yo Shawn can you please react to if you haven't heard already 'Sounds Of My World' by Juls, best afrobeats album I know.

Im surprised you didn't mention Daniel Caesar. Man been teasing us for a min and I can say this is probably my #1 anticipated album this year.

did not expect the funeral reference, nice

I couldn’t agree with you more with everything you had to say. Also thanks for putting me on funeral a while back.🤤

the artists ive been really hyped for an album are Frank (cmon) A$AP Rocky Travis Tyler i just hope they drop something this coming year 🙏

Utopia and a frank ocean album is what i need

As much as I would love for Cudi and Travis to finally do a Collab album I doubt it's gonna come anytime soon if at all due to Cudi seemingly retiring. Rip

we’re getting a new tyler album in about the first half of this year. all studio albums have been dropped in the first half and he’s been doing every other year since 2009.

I want a Weeknd or Keem album fr💯💯♾️

I heard Jpegmafia is releasing 3 albums in 2023. Very exciting!

"In light of this new information" 😊

Looking forward to the album Zillakami is supposed to drop this year

waiting for that Slowthai album

future definitely coming this year theres rumors of a collab record with metro, has serious classic potential if true

I am definitely craving for a new 6lack album!!

Frank's headlining Coachella. Some source said noone has ever headlined Coachella without having put out new material in the two months prior to the festival. Praying that means something, and/or the source might be off. I would've included it, but I don't remember who or what said it.

RIP June & July

i need some new baby keem in my life man, and after what he said on scapegoats its gotta be coming. im ready

I hope Death Grips start releasing something, their new tour and snippets should be leading up to some new material.
