New Music Releases

2013 has already seen a strong year for hip-hop and R&B, but there are a few more artists who want you to make room for them in your playlists before 2014 arrives.

October is a reminder that we're in the final lap of 2013, and with that comes a couple of long-awaited projects that will finally be hitting shelves this fall.

September is for lovers as R&B dominates the new music releases for the month. The records coming right before fall hits focus on themes of the heart.

August will certainly heat up with some great album releases from your favorite R&B and hip-hop artists.

The temperature is rising, the days are longer and clothes are coming off. Summer is here and so music listeners are awaiting the summer bangers for the soundtrack to their lives for the warmer months.

The ladies of R&B are taking over the month of June with new releases.

There has been so much controversy over lyrics lately. In May, a few artists who have been caught up in this whirlwind will be releasing new projects.

It's common for artists to push back their albums and although music fans understand, there never is a willingness to accept it. But this month, a few long-awaited albums across hip-hop and R&B will finally see the light of day. Tyga is one who will be pushing out his third studio album, 'Hotel California,' which is an ode to the sunny side where he was raised. ...

March will finally see the end of the colder months and we'll fully embrace everything that comes with spring. As we segue into warmer weather, many artists will be helping with the soundtrack to the coming season.

February is a busy month, with Black History Month, Super Bowl, the Grammys and Valentine's Day all squeezed into these 28 days.
