7 New Hip Hop Albums You Should've Already Been Listening To, But Better Late Than Never

@trippieredd / Instagram

I like to stay hip and trendy on the new music that comes out, and there's been a lot of it recently! From Post Malone announcing Posty Fest to Lollapalooza ending, there's been a whole lot of new music and a whole lot of new bands popping up! As a big music guru, here are the seven new albums you should be listening to, if you aren't already:

Travis Scott - "Astroworld"

This album is hands-down one of my favorite albums dropped all summer. Travis's beats are addictive, and his collaborations with Drake, Frank Ocean and The Weeknd make his album overall spectacular. Say what you want, but the Billboard Hot 100 doesn't lie.

Future - "BEASTMODE 2"

With bangers like "WIFI LIT" and "31 DAYS," no wonder Future made his way back in the game with BEASTMODE 2. We haven't heard a lot from Future since HNDRXX and FUTURE in 2017, but he's making his way back into the scene with BEASTMODE 2.

Wiz Khalifa - "Rolling Papers 2"

With this famous follow-up to his 2011 album, Rolling Papers 2 features some great collaborations, like Real Rich with Gucci Mane and Hopeless Romantic with Swae Lee. This album is more laid back than Travis Scott's but still fantastic. Also, I've heard some rumors about going to his concerts...

Drake - "Scorpion"

The two-sided album caught everyone's attention as soon as it dropped and quickly climbed its way up the Billboard Hot 100. In fact, all 27 songs off the album are on the Billboard Hot 100. He's also spent 30 consecutive weeks as the No. 1 artist on the Billboard Artist 100 chart. Does that get you in your feelings?

G Herbo & Southside - "Swervo"

When Atlanta-born rapper G Herbo and Chicago native Southside collaborate to make an album, obviously it'll be good. Listen to "How I Grew Up," which features 21 Savage, and "Catch Up" featuring Chief Keef to hear what G Herbo can do. Prior to the release of this album, G Herbo released Humble Beast in 2017, and the song "Everything" featuring Lil Uzi Vert was one of the top hits from the album.

Nicki Minaj - "Queen"

Nicki's album QUEEN, just released, has a strong female presence and empowering vibe. "Barbie Dreams" and "Hard White" are two hits from the album that are currently making conversation, as well as "Rich Sex," which features Lil Wayne. Either way, Nicki had her fans waiting four years for the release of this album, and they weren't disappointed.

Trippie Redd - "Life's A Trip"

From "Taking a Walk" to "Missing My Idols," Trippie Redd's new album is full of hits. I also have a soft spot in my heart for him, as he's from Ohio. "Dark Knight Dummo" with Travis Scott was one of his first collaborations, and since then, he's been on the horizon.

Take a listen and let me know what you think!

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
