Miami duo B0YG1RL releases their fourth album of 2026, blending kompa, post-rage rap, reggaeton, and baile funk in Haitian Creole.

Wishy: Nature’s Pill

Quavo: Qrömelife
Quavo releases Qrömelife, a yacht-produced hip-hop album featuring Pharrell and Future.

Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith: Ruin: It’s Not Just Music
Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith releases Ruin: It’s Not Just Music, a confrontational album blending garage and drum 'n' bass.

Boundary: Proxima Centauri
Boundary releases Proxima Centauri, an album about hope and change using video-game samples and IDM melodies.
“In our current times, evil seems to prevail without end. I hope this record can somehow bring some level of hope and faith in ourselves”
Stef Chura: Dancing Alone on the Concrete
Stef Chura releases Dancing Alone on the Concrete, an album exploring healing through dreamlike vocals.
“The bass line squishes beneath her like wet cement as she recounts an acquaintance who clings to grudges and the past”
