Happy Friday! The music world has again kicked off the weekend with the release of new music from several of our favorite artists. I’m sure you’ll have a difficult time deciding what to listen to first, because I know I sure did. Today we have new albums and singles from Megan Thee Stallion, Jhené Aiko, Gunna, JADAKISS, Lil Uzi Vert, OnlyJahmez and Demi Lovato.
Megan Thee Stallion- SUGA

Megan Thee Stallion has jumped through some major hurdles this past week in order to make it to this important day. Despite the beef with independent record label 1501 Certified Entertainment, she has still managed to drop her much anticipated debut album Suga. The album includes features from Kehlani and 300 label mate Gunna (who also released a new single today). Along with her album she released the official music video for single “B.I.T.C.H.”
Jhené Aiko- Chilombo

In an interview with Billboard about her new album Chilombo, Jhené Aiko said, “In a sense, I am like a Volcano, and this album is an eruption.” And a beautiful eruption it is. Chilombo (her surname), spans 20 tracks and includes features from Big Sean, H.E.R., Future, Miguel, Ab-Soul, Nas, John Legend, Ty Dolla $ign and Dr. Chill. Aiko recorded the entire album in Hawaii where her great grandmother was born. This is one of Aiko’s more experimental projects as she experiments with sound bowls that are commonly used during meditation and healing sessions. She told Billboard that the sounds can be heard on every track, and she plans to continue using them in future records.
Gunna– “SKYBOX (Single)“

“SKYBOX” is a brand new single off Gunna’s forthcoming album Wunna, the follow up to 2019 Drip or Drown 2. The upcoming doesn’t have a release date yet, but is set to release some time this year. Gunna also released a music video directed by Spike Jordan to accompany the new single. The music video shows Gunna in human and doll form riding in a hot air ballon, crash to Earth, and then kick it with some belly dancers.
JADAKISS– Ignatius

The follow-up to Luv is Rage 2 is finally here, and Lil Uzi Vert fans couldn’t be happier. Despite releasing a trailer earlier this week and releasing the track list last night (March 5), the album’s arrival comes as a surprise, as Uzi never gave an official release date. The LP spans 16 tracks, and is feature-less expect for an appearance from the Internet‘s Syd, on “Urgency.” His two latest singles “Futsal Shuffle 2020” and “That Way” are included as Bonus Tracks.
Demi Lovato- “I Love Me (Single)”

Demi Lovato’s new single “I love Me,” is the self love anthem we all need. After staying under the radar following an overdose in 2018, the 26-year-old singer is back and better than ever. She also released a music video to accompany the new single. We can’t wait to see what the rest of the year and future holds for Demi.
OnlyJahmez- Disco
Rap Rockstar OnlyJahmez has released his long awaited single “Disco,” along with a lyric video to accompany it. His next single “Diana” is set to release March 13, and his debut album Disco 2020 is set to release later this year.
