Rap Release Dates: A$AP Rocky, Kendrick Lamar, Roc Marciano, G.O.O.D. Music

by Kathy Iandoli

A$AP Rocky and Kendrick Lamar push their albums back, Roc Marciano announces his, and it's looking like "Cruel Summer" is coming.

September is off to a disappointing start, but it only makes October look that much better. A$AP Rocky has delayed LongLiveA$AP and has moved the album all the way to October 31st. While he's now trying to make it drop exactly a year to the date of LiveLoveA$AP, fans of the A$AP Mob godfather are probably none too pleased by this news. Plus, new albums usually drop on a Tuesday, so maybe this project will be a mixtape or maybe A$AP's just got it like that. Meanwhile, Kendrick Lamar moved his Good Kid, m.A.A.d City to October 22nd. That's another case of a non-Tuesday release, so perhaps KDot's got it like that as well. In the new dates category we get one from Roc Marciano, bringing Reloaded on November 13th. For all those skeptics who thought G.O.O.D. Music's Cruel Summer was never arriving, fear not. The release date is still listed as September 18th, so we'll be sticking to that release date until told otherwise.
