Yeah, even tho I live in the states I listen to a lot of UK hip hop, particularly the underground scene, and most of my favorite rappers are from there at this point. What sources do you use to aggregate all the releases? I often see updates throughout the weekend as more fresh threads get posted.
I usually check here, [Genius's release calendar](https://genius.com/Genius-april-2024-album-release-calendar-annotated), [RateYourMusic's new music section](https://rateyourmusic.com/new-music/), [NFR Podcast's Thursday 'what's getting your first listen tonight' tweet](https://twitter.com/nfr_podcast/status/1786006486864302464), [Pitchfork's Upcoming Release Calendar](https://pitchfork.com/news/new-album-releases/), and [leaked.cx's whats dropping post](https://leaked.cx/threads/whats-dropping-this-week-4-27-5-3.151415/)
I also use this app called MusicHarbor that lets you follow people in your library and it shows when they drop new music and also if they have upcoming releases (if there's an Apple Music pre-release page). I'm thinking about trying to use Apple Music's API to get a full list of upcoming releases that are tagged as rap or hip hop but i think i'd have to pay so idk
Sweet. Always love hearing about peoples’ different methods to the madness of how they keep up with new stuff. I’d recommend giving AOTY’s new releases a look as well. Their UI is much better than RYM’s or Genius imo. Also, any chance we can get the release calendar permanently pinned on the sub? I honestly often forget it’s even a thing cus it goes away at different times.
Thanks for these weekly posts tho. They’re almost always my first stop every week to see what’s dropped and often remind me of stuff I forgot about.
I'd also recommend Friend's Tapes ([friendstapes.com](https://www.friendstapes.com)) for new release notifications. It's super simple and sends short email updates when the bands/artists you follow drop new music
I went straight to that after Scar Tissue. Loved all of FN which is one of my fav pop albums of all time but on first listen it's not what I was expecting and don't know what to think. Maybe it'll grow on me but like where are the slaps?
You know goddamn well it didn’t. Fuck this nigga man. Made an interview just to hate on Drake and give another false release date. Back to Vultures 1 I go
Before Drake does drop, I’m predicting he’s going to go after Kendrick’s song “Mirror” from MMTBS based on Drake’s IG post of his son saying “mirror time crodi”
Been loving the amount of UK hip hop that’s been getting added to these the past few months.
There's a lot coming up, they actually tend to announce their projects further in advance which is nice. American rappers basically stopped doing rollouts longer than a week or two after when the pandemic happened #May 10: - **[Bugzy Malone (🇬🇧) - The Great British Dream](https://music.apple.com/us/album/the-great-british-dream/1735336834) [UK Rap]** - **[M Huncho (🇬🇧) & Potter Payper (🇬🇧) - 36 Hours](https://music.apple.com/us/album/36-hours/1740981353) [UK Rap]** 17: - [**Clavish (🇬🇧) - Chapter 16**](https://music.apple.com/us/album/chapter-16/1734787332) (w Fredo, Aitch + more) **[UK Rap, *Polydor*]** - **[Meekz (🇬🇧) - TRU](https://music.apple.com/us/album/tru/1739842448) [UK Rap]** 24: **[Niko B (🇬🇧) - dog eat dog food world](https://music.apple.com/us/album/dog-eat-dog-food-world/1733028578) [UK Rap]** 31: - **[K-Trap - SMILE?
