Rap Release Dates: Maino, Too $hort, Curren$y, Tyga

by Kathy Iandoli

UPDATE: Curren$y's "Muscle Car Chronicles" will release February 14, the same day as longtime collaborator Ski Beatz drops "24 Hour Karate School Presents: Twilight."

Last week, the pre-order pool had Curren$y's long-awaited Muscle Car Chronicles dropping today (January 31st). If that's for sale somewhere, go cop that. If not, we'll have a new date for you soon. K'Naan's pre-album EP More Beautiful Than Silence today as well, along with AraabMuzik's Instrumental University. Things get a little calm in the beginning of February before Joe Budden's Mood Muzik boxset comes February 21st, along with Tyga's Careless World: Rise of the Last King. A week later, we get tons of new music including Kid Cudi's W Z R D, Maino's Day After Tomorrow, Too $hort's No Trespassing, and more. What a way to end February.
