Album Releases

Kendrick Lamar looks like he's reigniting his beef with Drake ... a couple days before Drake drops his new album. Kendrick got his fans riled up by deleting and then reuploading his famous Drake diss.

Here's the deal ... folks started noticing Monday morning Kendrick's "Not Like Us" music video was conspicuously missing from his YouTube page ... and the internet started buzzing.

The video has since been reuploaded to YouTube ... and its view count was reset to zero ... the original post had more than 400 million views.

Kendrick appears to have done the same thing with his SZA collab ... the music video for "Luther" disappeared and then reappeared Monday on his official YT page.

The Kendrick and SZA collab was featured on his "GNX" album, which is no longer available on Apple Music. Kendrick's Drake diss "euphoria" was reportedly removed from Apple Music earlier today, but as of this posting it's back on the platform.

Unclear what Kendrick's doing here ... but some folks are speculating he's calling attention to his old Drake beef before Drizzy drops him upcoming "Iceman" album ... on May 15.

NYC got an unexpected supergroup Thursday night ... and no one seemed interested in lowering the volume!!!

Check it out ... Shaboozey, J Balvin and Jimmy Butler turned a fancy NYC hotspot into full-on karaoke chaos ... partying until nearly sunrise while celebrating Balvin's new album and birthday all at once.

The trio hit up Crane Club for the release of Balvin's new collaborative album, "Omerta" -- which dropped on his birthday -- and we're told the energy stayed sky-high until around 4 AM.

Calling all you mighty Millennials, ballin' Boomers, groovy Gen X-ers, and everyone else ... we're back and tappin' y'all into Gen-Z's hottest stories of the week, packed with sexy stars and piping-hot news!

David Allan Coe might be gone ... but, fans will get to hear some of the last songs he ever recorded in just a few short months, TMZ has learned.

Ken Madson -- Coe's manager near the end of his career -- tells TMZ ... he owns the controversial country singer's final album and plans to release it on September 6, 2026, which would've been the star's 87th birthday.

Coe last recorded for the album back in 2017, Madson says ... and, it will feature some previously released songs as well as new material. One song on it is called "A Million Reasons" -- which Coe apparently referenced on his social media last year. A title for the album hasn't been finalized yet.

Eureka -- a drag performer best known for competing on Seasons 9 and 10 of "RuPaul's Drag Race" -- says she didn't feel so free at Madonna's album teaser event over the weekend ... because she says she got the boot for no reason.

The reality star aired her grievances on social media ... saying she was forcefully removed from the event for Madonna's new album "Confessions On A Dance Floor: Part II."

Eureka claims she was "treated like trash at the door" of The Abbey -- the famous West Hollywood club where the teaser event took place.

Ariana Grande's ready to release a scorching record this summer -- because we've learned she's got a whole new album on the way!

Here's the deal ... Ariana got fans talking by posting a few photos of herself from the recording studio ... sitting at a soundboard, messing around on her computer, and -- most importantly -- setting up behind a microphone.

Sources familiar with the situation tell us this ain't a repost ... Ariana has finished a new album and plans to release it around summertime.

Jack Harlow says he "got blacker" by pivoting from rap music and transitioning to rhythm and blues.

The "Lovin On Me" rapper was a guest on The New York Times podcast "Popcast" when the hosts asked him about his new R&B album ... and whether he consciously made the decision to go "deeper into blackness" with a new genre.

Jack agreed, saying he "got blacker" with his music ... and he went on to say he loves "Black music" and the sound of it.

The hosts were comparing Jack to white artists who retreat from rap and go into "traditionally white sounds."

Ryan Gosling had a bit of a distraction sitting front row during his monologue as host of 'SNL' this week ... heart throb, and next week's host, Harry Styles!

Harry says he is only there to prepare for the show next week, but Ryan can't seem to get the "Aperture" singer out of his head as he tries to continue on with the open.

It doesn't help that the camera keeps cutting to Harry and eventually creates a split screen to keep Style's adorable face on our TVs the entire time.

Wyclef Jean has more than 30 years in the music industry, but by the looks of it, he's still only just getting started ... he told us he's going to release an album a month, for seven months, starting in March!

He broke the news when we caught up with him Monday at LAX. He told us the 7 projects include a hip hop album, a country album, an R&B album, a jazz album ... and 3 more he's keeping mum about.

According to the legendary producer and rapper, he wants to show music fans how so much of what we listen to today originated with him.

Harry Styles has been defrosting all week, and now he’s officially thawed ... 'cause he's just announced his 2026 tour -- and there’s only one stop in all of North America!

Days after unveiling his new album, Harry dropped the news on IG, revealing his "Together, Together" tour kicks off in Amsterdam this May, before hitting cities like London, Melbourne ... and one very lonely U.S. stop in New York, ruffling some fans' feathers.

Thankfully, he's not just swinging by NYC -- he’s setting up camp with a 30-date residency at Madison Square Garden, meaning fans from across the country will be flying into the Big Apple to catch him.

Madison Beer's new album is finally out ... and we've got all the shots of her focused on music to celebrate the release.

"Locket" -- released Friday -- is Beer's third studio album ... and, she puts everything she has into each and every one, as you can see from these pics. And you can test out your own knowledge of Madison below!

MB's constantly in the studio ... singing into the mic, editing the tracks -- and, eventually, posing with her sexy vinyl album cover.

A$AP Rocky's been in the rap game for a long time, and he's collaborated with lots of artists ... just don't expect to see him hanging out with Drake anytime soon, because it looks like they're on the outs.

On the "NYT Popcast," Rocky hinted at his friction with Drake while talking about his new "Don't Be Dumb" album. Rocky was asked about who his "Stole Ya Flow" diss track was directed at, and he replied ... "I think we all know."

A$AP was asked about why he'd fallen out with Drizzy -- they came up together early in their respective careers -- and he explained ... "I just started just seeing people who started out as friends become foes. Seemed like they was unhappy for you and started sending shots. I think that’s what led to any of our misunderstandings or whatever the case is."

Harry Styles is officially back, y’all ... the British heartthrob just announced his new album, "Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally" -- and it’s dropping March 6!

Yup, it’s been a brutal, nearly four-year-long drought, but the wait is almost over ... 'cause in less than two months, Harry will finally feed the fandom fresh material, officially marking his fourth solo album and ending the longest silence of his career.

Produced by longtime collaborator Kid Harpoon, the album packs 12 brand-new tracks.

French Montana and Max B flipped Soho House Ludlow in NYC into a full-on discotheque for part of their listening session last night ... quite fitting for an album titled "Coke Wave"!!!

TMZ Hip Hop obtained video of French and Max previewing a track from their "Coke Wave 3.5: Narcos" album, which samples KC & The Sunshine Band's "That's the Way (I Like It)."

Nelly and his country grammar cohorts, St. Lunatics, will be giving their best go at bringing that Midwest swing back to hip hop next year ... with an album executive-produced by their hometown super-producer, Metro Boomin!!!

The megastar rapper hosted the 2025 Black and White Ball alongside his wife, Ashanti, and gave the 314 citizens something to cheer for on the entertainment tip.

Nelly stopped the super celebration midway to reveal the Metro Boomin-led St. Lunatics album will be arriving in 2026, and the crowd went wild ... especially the host on stage!!!

Rapper Key Glock potentially had the best year of his musical career in 2025, yet the Memphis native didn't wait for January's ball drop to kick things into high gear!!!

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with Mr. Glizock at LAX on Thursday ... he's set to follow up his critically acclaimed "Glockaveli" album from this year with a new project titled "The 16th Letter" at the top of the new year.

KG says he'll be framing his music outside the box of what he normally does in the studio, but when it comes to New Year's resolutions, he's not changing anything ... because he doesn't believe in them!!!
