10 Music Projects to Look Forward to in May

April was a colossal month for music releases: Kendrick Lamar released DAMN., Gorillaz dropped their comeback album Humanz, Playboi Carti put out his debut LP and we also got albums or projects from Joey Badass, Cashmere Cat, JMSN, Sevdaliza, Young M.A., Rex Orange, J Dilla, Brodinski, Tee Grizzley and more. While May is not nearly as stacked, there are a handful of projects that should not be overlooked. Heavy hitters like Lil Yachty, Snoop Dogg and Logic are dropping new albums, as are Nite Jewel, Mac DeMarco, Wavves and more. On top of that, Lana Del Rey’s Lust For Life is said to be “coming soon” according to the songstress herself, which means there could be a possibility that it’s dropping this month.
