Delayed from its initially expected May release, Young Thug is set to drop UY Scuti, his first album since getting out of jail last fall. It’s now supposed to drop in June but a firm date has yet to be announced. And Samara Cyn is back with her new EP, Backroads.

Here are some of the albums we are looking forward to this month.

YOUNG THUG – ‘UY SCUTI’ (TBD)

If “Money on Money” is any indication, Young Thug’s forthcoming album, Uy Scuti, will be an absolute problem. He’s been recording the LP since getting out of prison.

LIL WAYNE – ‘THA CARTER VI’ (June 6)

Anticipation has been building for what seems like forever, and Tunechi has already revealed an insane list of collaborators that includes everyone from Wyclef Jean to Miley Cyrus to U2’s Bono.

LITTLE SIMZ – ‘LOTUS’ (June 6)

Originally expected back in May, the British rap star’s sixth album includes contributions from Michael Kiwanuka, Yussef Dayes, Sampha and more.

CYNTHIA ERIVO – ‘I FORGIVE YOU’ (June 6)

The singer/actress is one of the hardest-working people in entertainment. She follows up her Academy Award-nominated turn in Wicked with her second studio album – and leadoff singles “Replay” and “Worst Of Me.”

SLICK RICK – ‘VICTORY’ (June 13)

The artist once known as MC Ricky D hasn’t dropped an album since 1999’s The Art Of Storytelling, but Rick The Ruler returns with a visual project courtesy of Mass Appeal — and assisted by Idris Elba.

LEIKELI47 – ‘LEI KELI FT. 47 / FOR PROMOTIONAL USE ONLY’  (June 13)

Executive produced by Leikeli47 and Harold Lilly, Leikeli47’s first independently released project arrives this month. And the uniquely gifted emcee finally went mask off for the album’s lead single “450.”

DAZ DILLINGER – ‘RETALIATION, REVENGE AND GET BACK 2’ (June 16)

Daz is in his G funk bag again. The West Coast legend has long been one of Cali’s most distinct and unique producers, and he returns with a solo project full of flossing and street wisdom.

SAMARA CYN – ‘BACKROADS’ EP (June 20)

Cyn is set for an upcoming tour with Smino, as the 26-year-old delivers an EP recorded against the backdrop of the California wildfires.

YAYA BEY – ‘DO IT AFRAID’ (June 20)

Less than a year after Ten Fold, Yaya returns with a new project that (if single “Merlot and Grigio” is any indication) could be a dancefloor-driven banger. The Brooklyn singer-songwriter is also set to hit the road this summer in a headlining tour.

RUSS – ‘W!LD’ (June 27)

His follow-up to 2023’s Santiago is entirely executive produced by Russ, and it features lead single “Movin,” the album’s follow-up “April 7” dropped last month.

TECH N9NE – ‘5816 FOREST’ (June 27)

He’s still the blueprint for indie success and he’s still doing it his way. Fans have been clamoring for a Tech project with zero features and they will get their wish very soon.
