Swapping out Pill for Omarion & Stalley, Maybach Music Group’s second foray into the compilation world will arrive on June 26th with guest features from Kendrick Lamar, Nas, Wiz Khalifa, Nipsey Hussle, T-Pain, Roscoe Dash and more. While many may wonder where exactly does Masspike Miles & Teedra Moses fit into all of this, we couldn’t help but notice the cover looks eerily similar to the Power Rangers (as depicted above) via PhillyCustoms.

Not even a day after Day & A Dream linked you to Azealia Banks’ first leak from her forthcoming mixtape Fantastic, Banks let loose the official artwork and tracklisting for 1991, the EP she’s scheduled to drop later this month to continue to build momentum towards her debut album’s release this fall.

Fans and followers of Banks may be slightly disappointed that 1991 will only consist of four tracks – two of which are far from new: Banks’ hot single “212,” whose appearance here is no surprise; and “Liquorice,” which wa – but I’m willing to bet that 1991 will be in the vein of Miguel’s Art Dealer Chic series in terms of stressing quality over quantity. As for the cover itself, Azealia is decked out in all Black everything save for her golden bracelet and red hair. It reminds me just a bit of Janet Jackson circa Rhythm Nation 1814, though I’ll assume for all intents and purposes Banks there won’t be any dance routines accompanying the tracks.

Peep the tracklist after the jump, and mark your calendars accordingly: Azealia Banks’ 1991 EP is due to drop on May 29th.

In between dropping two singles and sitting on two releases already in 2012 (the Here EP & the live instrumentation of Muscle Car Chronicles), Curren$y found time to start a nationwide tour in Houston as well as sue Damon Dash for $1.5 million. Not a bad start to the year for the Hot Spitta. His next Warner Bros. Records album The Stoned Immaculate hits stores on June 5th and carries some weight with it thanks to features from Marsha Ambrosius, Estelle, Big K.R.I.T., Wiz Khalifa, 2 Chainz, Pharrell & more.

As the intended release date for rapper OneHunnidt’s highly anticipated Keep It 100 project draws closer and closer, the lyricist keeps bringing the leaks. “America” is OneHunnidt’s newest leaked offering from the album.

Chicago native Genius Boy handles production for “America,” which toes the line between having military precision with its steady drum beat keeping time in the background and aurally resembling Kanye West’s “Let the Beat Build” in that the instrumentation grows and evolves with each passing second in the record. Genius Boy’s beat easily provides the perfect backdrop on which OneHunnidt can embrace his inner rebel on wax.

In his own words describing the track, OneHunnidt insisted that “America” embodied “a little change” from the usual hip-hop fare and, indeed, he’s damn near at war with the system on this one. It’s a stretch perhaps to compare OneHunnidt’s flow and lyrical content on the track to old school KRS-One. But once you hear him drop such potent lines as “There’s no ‘us’ in U.S., it’s just THEM” and “land of the free, home of the brave/ land of the oppressor, home of the slave,” I’m sure you’ll see where I’m coming from.

As a bonus with this great listen, OneHunnidt also dropped off to D&AD the official tracklist for #KeepIt100, which you can view after the jump. I’ll admit, with a title like “Unfckwitable,” I have high expectations for that particular track especially. But #KeepIt100 is coming soon.

Bobby Ray is gearing up for his sophomore album, Strange Clouds. The rapper who has been criticized by the rap world for his incredibly infectious pop hits, has released the cover and tracklist for his Strange Clouds venture, which has spawned songs such as “Strange Clouds” with Lil Wayne, “Play The Guitar” with Andre 3000 (which is left off the album), and the best rapping B.o.B has ever produced on a song with “Where Are You (B.o.B vs. Bobby Ray)”. The album has a plethora of features including expected collaboration with Nicki Minaj, T.I. and Playboy Tre, with some more expected appearances from the likes of Taylor Swift and Morgan Freeman. Strange Clouds drops May 1st.

Hours before he steps back on Texan soil, Stalley releases the tracklist to his upcoming mixalbum Savage Journey To The American Dream set to be released this Friday at 3:30 PM on his official site as well as LiveMixtapes.

Health concerns be damned, Rick Ross still continues to work and push the idea of being stagnant and over-saturation. Rich Forever, Rozay’s first full length tape since Ashes To Ashes in late 2010 already comes rife with proclamations and high powered features from Drake, 2 Chainz, Nas, John Legend, Diddy & more. Even though the MMG camp shrunk by one with the departure of Pill (or did it since he was never “officially” apart of MMG), Wale, Meek Mill & Stalley all find their way onto the tape which drops Friday at 3:05 (2:05 CST).

No I.D. and the handy social app that makes everyone look like either our good friends Marco Torres or Grant from SCKNOWS give us a sneak peek into Common’s upcoming The Dreamer, The Believer LP. Attaching Nas’ “Ghetto Dreams”, a cameo from Maya Angelou and spoken word from his pops should give the notion that this will not be a messy affair like Universal Mind Control was. John Legend also snags a feature for “The Believer” as Common sets to make a strong comeback with his latest album on December 20th. In other Com news, the rapper is set to premiere his visual for “So Sweet” on his UStream channel and is asking fans to donate a dollar to tune in to benefit the J/P Haitian Relief Organization.

Also for bonus purposes, OkayPlayer links up with DJ Soul to compose Time Travellin’ a mixtape chronicling the deep history and rhymes of the man formerly known as Common Sense.
