What’s Your Favorite New Music Release of the Week? Vote!

Kicking things off are Stray Kids who dropped a new album, Hop, just five months after scoring another No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 with Ate and one day after taking home the 2024 Billboard Music Award for Top Global K-Pop Artist.

It was a big week for hip-hop. Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre dropped their Missionary album via Death Row Records, Aftermath Entertainment and Interscope Records. The project features previously released singles “Gorgeous” (featuring Jhené Aiko), “Outta da Blue” (featuring Alus) and “Another Part of Me” (featuring Sting). It’s their first full-length project together since Snoop’s 1993 Doggystyle debut studio album, which topped both the Billboard 200 and Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts.

Another collab of the week is “Xmas Time” from GloRilla and Kehlani. Both Glo and Keh both scored nominations ahead of the 2025 Grammy Awards; the former is nominated for best rap song and best rap performance with “Yeah Glo!” while the latter is up for best progressive R&B album (Crash), best R&B song (“After Hours”) and best melodic rap performance (“KEHLANI” by Jordan Adetunji).

More releases of the week include Bossman Dlow’s Dlow Curry, Olly Alexander’s “Archangel” and Fred Again..’s Two More Days. Now, we want to know your favorite. Check out our Friday Music Guide here, and let us know by voting here or below.
