If you were looking for a rundown of some upcoming releases, look no further than BET.com. While so much of the content circulating the internet is just regurgitating news that seems to involve the same four or five artists, BET.com is committed to highlighting more of your “other” favorites by letting you know what releases you have to look forward to.
It seems as though the month of March will mark the return of a few Hip-Hop artists that have been quiet over the last few years. On March 17, CNN (Capone N Noreaga) will drop their highly anticipated return to the music industry, Channel 10. The group hasn’t released a collaboration album since The Reunion, which they dropped back in 2002. Another artist to return in March is Busta Rhymes. Busta will release Back On My B.S. on March 24.
Always one to get his album hustle on, Jim Jones is also set to release his next album in March. Pray IV Reign is currently scheduled for a March 24 release date as well.
And while the next album needs no more press than it’s already received from 50 Cent, it would be neglectful not to mention Rick Ross and his upcoming Deeper Than Rap, which will mark his return to the game. It will be interesting to see how the controvery Ross has been involved in over the last couple of months (his Corrections Officer career being exposed and his 50 Cent drama) affects his album sales. Deeper… is set for a March 24 release. With his well-publicized feud with 50 Cent or as Ross calls him “Curly,” it is obvious that the Miami-based Rapper has decided to maximize this publicity opportunity.
While 50 Cent’s upcoming Before I Self Destruct was originally set for March 24 date as well, the record has continually been pushed back. Now, the Associated Press is reporting that 50 will not drop his album until after Eminem. “Right now, I’m on a train, and the Em-choo-choo-car goes first. I think people forgot that I’m actually Eminem’s artist because I’ve had so much success on my own and moved away from it,” said 50 in an interview.
