K-Dot hasn’t dropped a full-length studio album since 2017’s
DAMN., and he was the lead curator of the
Black Panther: The Album release. There have been reports that the Compton wordsmith would be leaning into a rock-influenced sound for his next album, another leap forward from Lamar.
SZA’s last release
Ctrl was also in 2017, and she dropped a pair of singles in “Hit Different” and “Good Days” from what most expect to be her sophomore release. She also featured alongside Doja Cat for the “Kiss Me More” track.
Ab-Soul has been away from the album release schedule since 2016, but he had a relatively active 2020 with features and the surprise “Dangerookipawaa Freestyle” single.
Jay Rock’s slept-on
Redemption in 2018 was his last full-length, and ScHoolboy Q’s last drop was 2019’s
CrasH Talk.
