Lil Wayne’s upcoming rock album, “Rebirth,” was originally slated for an early April release then pushed to May and then June. Now, his seventh solo studio album is due on July 21 via Young Money/Cash Money/Universal Records. First single, “Prom Queen,” reached No. 15 on the Hot 100 chart earlier this year.
Drake, who is an affiliate of Wayne’s Young Money label and possibly the most sought-after artist in hip-hop, recently went in the studio to work on his highly-anticipated debut, “Thank Me Later,” although it is unknown yet which label will release it.
Soulja Boy is currently working on his third studio album, “The DeAndre Way,” as well as Jeezy, who is readying his “Thug Motivation 103.” Neither album has a release date yet.
