Drake – Thank Me Later

Lil’ Wayne’s protégé needs to get this album out ASAP in early 2010 because his buzz has already peaked and it’s slowly fading. A few months ago at the height of his popularity, a new Drake album could have been a rare album to go platinum in a week, but Drake is taking his time crafting his debut record which hopefully pays off on the end. With rumored appearances by The-Dream, Kanye and probably some hot indie-rock stars (‘cause that’s the hip thing for rappers to do nowadays) it should be an interesting listen and is no doubt going to cause much discussion in the rap community

Lupe Fiasco – Lasers

Lupe has been quiet for awhile with only a mixtape popping up recently to bring his name back in response to his lack of appearance on MTV’s Hottest Rappers list, Lupe has a lot to prove, mainly that he can continue to be relevant in today’s rap landscape while not forsaking his challenging, intellectual rhymes. Lupe has made lots of different remarks about retiring after his next record so we’ll see if his ego gets to him or if he can wisely give his fans what they want, more good Lupe music. Don’t expect lots of materialistic rap about leather Mustang seats like these here, but more cerebral stuff that will make you think.

Kanye West – Good Ass Job

Kanye is a workaholic and rarely goes more than a year without releasing a new album so it is highly likely that his new album, rumored to be called “Good Ass Job” will come out sometime in 2010. Look for it to be a return to Kanye’s rapping roots after his auto-tuned “808s and Heartbreak” album. Kanye released some of his best guest featured raps in 2009 to prove that he can do more than just bad auto-tuned singing, so look for him to continue to push his rhymes to new places and prove that he is one of the best rappers alive.
