That doesn’t mean the Atlanta rapper hasn’t been plenty busy, though since, he’s released his 2018 Drip Harder collaborative mixtape with Lil Baby, plus debut studio album Drip or Drown 2 and its 2020 followup Wunna helped Young Thug helm 2021’s Slime Language 2, the second compilation album from their label Young Stoner Life and hopped on tracks by everyone from Nav to Lil Tecca, among others.

The fourth installment of Gunna’s Drip Season series is imminent, arriving nearly four years after the last one. (And, of course, a “ small cameo” from a Safdie.) He sees the album as a radio station in the car of someone stuck in a purgatory state, “stuck in traffic waiting to reach the light at the end of the tunnel,” he explained to Billboard, adding that it will dabble in “EDM, hip-hop, and three other types of sounds in one song.” To follow-up the ’80s-villain persona he crafted on 2020’s After Hours, enigma turned pop superstar the Weeknd is welcoming the New Year with Dawn FM, which will feature collaborators Tyler, the Creator Quincy Jones Lil Wayne Oneohtrix Point Never and his neighbor turned quarantine friend Jim Carrey. Here are the records that we’re looking forward to the most, alongside the rest. So while tons of long-teased LPs from music’s biggest stars, like BTS, Kendrick Lamar, Cardi B, Lizzo, and SZA, have yet to be fully confirmed, the new potential stadium-tour circuit signals an optimistic future for heavy hitters to come down the pipeline this year. Some musicians in particular, like FKA twigs, the Weeknd, and Earl Sweatshirt, are now readying projects that they started crafting in the early void of pandemic, two whole years ago - enough time for the concept of the quarantine album to run its course.
According to lots of promises and teasers made in the final months and moments of 2021, everyone from Mitski and Charli XCX to Rosalía and Kehlani is unearthing albums from the vaults where they’ve been stored, awaiting a live audience.
If 2021 felt like a strange purgatory for artists who released an album but never really got to tour it, then 2022 will either be some heaven where concerts and festivals can exist without disruption or … more of our current hell. Photo-Illustration: Vulture Photos by Getty Images
