You only die 1nce, but you might release the same album 2wice. On Halloween 2024, the absurdly consistent Indiana rap monster Freddie Gibbs dropped his surprise album You Only Die 1nce. Since then, he’s re-teamed with the Alchemist for Alfredo 2, entertainingly feuded with JPEGMAFIA, and taught some karate lessons. Now, out of nowhere, Gibbs is back with a deluxe version of You Only Die 1nce that basically includes a whole other album.

The sneakily influential dance megastar Skrillex has been on a big collaborative run lately, and he keeps it going on SOMA, the new album that he released today. Just like last year’s Fuck U Skrillex You Think Ur Andy Warhol But Ur Not!! <3, SOMA is basically a surprise album; Skrillex only just unveiled the tracklist on his Instagram stories this past Tuesday. It includes “Duro,” the track with Young Miko that he released earlier this year, as well as last week’s Blawan/Randomer/MC Dricka collab “Thistle.”

We’re getting a new Smirk album at the beginning of next month. Nick Vacario, the mastermind behind Smirk, recently announced Speculative Fiction alongside its lead single, “Dogs Years.” Today, we get another glimpse of the forthcoming album with the release of “Abide.” “Abide” is a downtrodden post-punk track that opens with a guitar riff ringing…

A few weeks Clairo gave a vague yet inspiring update on her upcoming fourth studio album, the follow-up to 2024’s Charm and her first for new label home Atlantic Records. We know that the new album sounds very different than its predecessors, and that she’s a bit scared (in a good way) about it.

Knowing that the Clairo album is imminent and that she’s been in such beautiful creative company, is this an A+B=C scenario? Are we getting a freaking Clairo/SZA collab?

Next week, the New York underground rap fixture Wiki will release his new album Ancient History. I have heard it, and it’s great. For now, you’ll mostly have to take my word for it, since Wiki’s not exactly inundating us with advance singles. Up until today, the only one he shared was “Park,” his warm…
