Five Artists We Hope to Hear a New Album From Before the End of 2025 

As we approach the second half of the year, there are a handful of artists we hope to hear from before 2025 comes to a close.

In 2023, R&B singer Snoh Aalegra dropped three singles, seemingly hinting that a new album would be coming soon. However, she hasn’t released anything since then nor has she discussed new music on social media. Aalegra’s last album, Temporary Highs In The Violet Skies was released in July of 2021, which would mark four years since she has put out a project. 

2. Isaiah Rashad

During his Cilvia Demo 10th  Anniversary Tour last year, Isaiah Rashad announced that he was working on what would be his fourth album. In October of that year, a Twitter post from the NFR Podcast revealed that Rashad was seemingly finishing the project and was really proud of it.  The TDE artist’s last release was The House Is Burning in 2021, which was his first album to hit the Billboard Top 10. 

3. Baby Keem

After releasing his debut album The Melodic Blue in 2021, Baby Keem became seen as one of the biggest rising stars in hip-hop. He followed that up with a deluxe to the album in 2022 and dropped the single “The Hillbillies” with his cousin Kendrick Lamar the following year. In early 2024, Keem began to tease a new album seemingly titled Child With Wolves on social media but has been silent since then. 

4. J.I.D.

Following the release of his album The Forever Story in 2022, which was met with praise from critics and fans alike, J.I.D. announced new music would be coming soon. One of these releases includes a collaboration with Metro Boomin’, titled JIDTRO. Recently the Dreamville MC has begun to tease the release of his new album. In April, he released the single “Wrk”, and announced that his new album, “God Does Like Ugly” would be out on August 8th.  

5. A$AP Rocky

Initially set to be released on August 30th of last year, A$AP Rocky’s Don’t Be Dumb was later pushed back for the fall of 2024.  He released the singles Highjack (ft. Jessica Pratt), Tailor Swif, and Ruby Rosary (ft. J. Cole). The album was then further delayed due to Rocky’s gun trial in early 2025, in which he was found not guilty. In a conversation with GQ magazine, the rapper said the album was in the mixing and mastering stages. Whenever Don’t Be Dumb is released it would be A$AP Rocky’s first album since Testing in 2018.
