New music Friday is here once again as we move deeper into the first quarter of 2024. This week, a West Coast rapper with a cult following returns with his latest project, a rapper-producer known for turning up, turns down on a holistic level and a prolific Atlanta rapper drops his first release of the year.
Yeat Delivers 2093 Album
Yeat fans are rejoicing over the release of his new album 2093. Since appearing on Drake’s For All the Dogs song “IDGAF” last October, the Portland, Ore. native has been building anticipation for the offering. Earlier this month, he teased collaborations with Childish Gambino and Drizzy on the project. Earlier this week, he let the cat out of the bag about his collab with Lil Wayne on the 22-track album’s song “Lifestyle.”

Lil Jon Drops Total Meditation Album
Turn down for what? To get connected with your inner chi, Lil Jon deviates from his normal high-energy offering to release the new album Total Meditation, the follow-up to 2022’s Drunn City 3. The Atlanta rapper-producer, who is coming off a cameo performance at the 2024 Super Bowl, announced the 10-track album earlier this month to the surprise of many. “I’ve always kind of meditated a little bit,” Jon recently told XXL, “but when I turned 50, started going through a lot of things. Started going through a divorce, I’m separated now, and all the emotions from the divorce and all that process was really getting to me. So, I found I had to start to go within to calm myself.”
