Don't look now, but the first month of 2018 is just about over, and that means a new month's worth of dope new music is on the way. It's time to welcome February.

At the top of the month, Rich Brian will look to officially move beyond his status as a viral rapper and actualize his musical potential with Amen, his debut project. "See Me" and his 21 Savage-assisted track, "Crisis," will both appear on the project. Further down the road, we'll be getting another intrepid offering from DJ Afterthought. This one's called Cool Blue Jewels, his debut hip-hop LP, and it drops on Feb. 9. The project is supported by the RiFF RAFF-assisted track "Waiting For." Should be dope.

That same day, we can expect a new release from Ralo. This one's called Diary of the Streets 3 mixtape, and, as you can tell by the title, it's the third installment of his Diary of the Streets series. The effort will include features from Young Thug, Lil Baby, YFN Lucci, Boosie BadAzz and more. Taking the baton at February's midway point is none other than Nipsey Hussle, who will drop his aptly titled Victory Lap album on Feb. 16. The album will be his debut effort under his new partnership with All Money In and Atlantic Records. The project includes the singles "Been Down" and the YG-assisted single, "Last Time That I Checc'd." 

Feb. 16 will also see the arrival of Last American Rock Stars, the debut album from King Gordy and Bizarre's newly formed duo, LARS. Their first single from the project is "LARS," and their second is "Lit." Next up is Black Milk's FEVER album, a project for which he premiered the debut single, "Laugh Now Cry Later," with XXL last week. Trina's also got an album coming out on Feb. 23, but the Diamond Princess hasn't revealed the title.
