All The Best New Hip-Hop Albums Coming Out This Week

Uproxx Studios Bree Runway, Doe Beezy & Southside, Nav & Wheezy, and Phora all have new albums coming out this week. …

The best new hip-hop albums coming out this week include projects from Bree Runway, Doe Beezy & Southside, Nav & Wheezy, and Phora.

It’s been a wild week in a truly wild year but as we approach the holiday season, the new hip-hop album release train has slowed down to give everybody a bit of a break. With only a handful of new projects dropping — and a rumored deluxe version of The Kid Laroi’s debut F*ck Love — we’re nearing the time to take stock of what has turned out to be one of rap’s most prolific years, even despite the pandemic and live entertainment shutdown. Fortunately, with so few projects dropping, there may actually be enough time to not only listen to this week’s slate of releases but also catch up on some of the previous ones.

Here are all the best new hip-hop albums coming out this week.

Bree Runway — 2000and4eva

This Hackney, London genre masher gives off very strong Azealia Banks Music Vibes (as opposed to Azealia Banks Twitter Vibes, which are awful) by way of Lady Leshurr and “Super Bass” Nicki Minaj. Her song “Gucci” with Maliibu Miitch racked up a combined million views between its two videos on YouTube within the last two months, and her electro-influenced blend of hip-hop and pop is a sure mood booster for these troubled times.

Doe Beezy & Southside — Demons R Us

Freebandz-signed Doe Beezy takes a much more straightforward approach to his trap-centric bars than his boss Future, making him a perfect candidate for fans of Southern rap who prefer its purveyors enunciate. Southside is, of course, one of the foremost suppliers of menacing, cavernous trap sounds. Together, they have created a truly sinister-sounding crossover project designed to blow out trunks and put the streets on notice.

Nav & Wheezy — Emergency Tsunami

Teasing this joint mixtape with a cheeky trailer just a week before its intended release, Nav looks to — ahem — tide fans over between full-length releases. Linking up with “Turks” production partner Wheezy, who has had a productive year of his own knocking out bass-booming beats for everyone from DaBaby to Gunna to Lil Baby and Lil Uzi Vert, Nav will try to recreate the chemistry from his pair of Good Intentions collaborations with Wheezy, bringing along features like Lil Keed for the ride.

Phora — With Love 2

Newly released from his deal with Warner Records, Phora went right back to his winning formula last year with Bury Me With Dead Roses. The Orange County rapper’s unique crossover of rapid-fire flows with heartbroken, emotional rhymes proved to be intact and he’ll look to keep the trend going on With Love 2, the follow-up to the US Rap chart-topping 2016 mixtape that first put him on the map.

Some artists covered here are Warner Music artists. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Lana Crow turns challenges into a celebration with “Laugh With You”

“Laugh With You,” the latest single from Lana Crow, is a sincere rallying cry to embrace life in all its messy, beautiful mess. In the song, indie pop and alt-pop combine to deliver an emotional blow that feels both personal and universal.

“Laugh With You” feels like an instant connection, and Crow is telling you stories of hard times with a cozy, knowing smile. This song is as much about struggle as it is about how strong you are. It serves as a reminder that these struggles are simply what give us the strength to keep going, even when life is tough.

Crow encourages people to welcome them, create happiness in the cracks, and laugh even as the world gets heavy. The result is a song that delicately nudges you to love and embrace yourself. It is an anthem for anyone experiencing tough times who refuses to give up hope. Lana Crow continues to demonstrate her songwriting skills, both musically pleasing and emotionally rich, with “Laugh With You.”

It’s a reminder that it’s how we respond to tough times, rather than how they affect us, that’s key. With this song, not only does Crow provide us with music, but she also lets us know that sometimes a laugh is what we need to remember that there is always something to smile about and that, even when it feels like life has waged war against you, laughter can still be found.

Lisa Boostani creates a mesmerizing tidal realm in “Ocean”

Lisa Boostani’s “Ocean” takes you deep into a sensory world where body, spirit, and myth come together, beyond the surface of genre. Boostani makes a soundscape that is both ethereal and deeply human by combining the broad essence of psychedelic pop with the strong appeal of alternative rock.

Her voice rises as if it is coming from deep within her, shaped by emotion rather than action. She intentionally channels the intangible, turning weakness into strength rather than a source of pain, and “Ocean” tells people to get involved in this inner world, not just watch it. This release is an integral part of her first EP, “One,” which will come out in March 2026 and is based on love, sensuality, and unity.

If “Ocean” is any indication, the EP will show sensuality not as something pretty, but as a kind of spiritual intelligence, a way to know yourself by connecting with others. The song’s textures and structure have an aquatic quality, moving between clarity and delirium, rhythm and freedom. Its emotional focus is on immersion instead of resolution.

The striking quality of “Ocean” is the blend of the mystical worlds. Boostani understands that strength often shows up as gentleness and that deep feelings are better expressed through frequencies than words. She wants people to see consciousness as immediacy, sensation as truth, and openness as an undeniable strength.
