Overview

Experimental hip hop continues to evolve with Yeat's apparent diss toward Travis Scott following his removal from Slime Language 3, while Kanye West's Chicago homecoming concert drew large crowds and sparked renewed attention on his collaborations, including Kid Cudi's defense of their partnership. Meanwhile, new album announcements from Your Old Droog and JPEGMAFIA, along with festival cancellations and anniversary releases, highlight ongoing activity across the genre's underground and mainstream scenes.
