NBA YoungBoy, Ransom and Harry Fraud, MIKE – New Hip-Hop Projects

Another week, another exciting collection of new joints to dive into. This week’s album releases include a hard-hitting tape from one of rap’s most prolific rappers, a collab album from a Brooklyn-bred rapper and producer that surprisingly hadn’t linked up until now, and an independent New York City rapper that continues to churn out good bars.

YoungBoy Never Broke Again Drops Compliments of Gravedigger Mountain

YoungBoy Never Broke Again remains one of rap’s hardest-working talents, as he returns yet again with a new album titled Compliments of Gravedigger Mountain. Led by the singles “We Shot Him in His Dead Huh” and “Boat,” this marks YB’s first official release of 2024. He closed out 2023 with Decided 2 in November of that year, and that album came off the tail end of yet another crazy release year for YoungBoy, where he also dropped Richest Opp, Don’t Try This at Home and I Rest My Case.
