This week’s New Music Friday is one other stacked one because of A$AP Rocky, who wastes no time in including to Don’t Be Dumb by teasing out a couple of songs from the upcoming deluxe version. (Perhaps he’s making up for misplaced time after the eight-year look ahead to the album.)

Denzel Curry introduces his rambunctious new supergroup, The Scythe, which incorporates himself (underneath the alias Big Ultra), A$AP Ferg, TiaCorine, Bktherula and Key Nyata. Their debut album Strictly 4 The Scythe drops March 6, and the lead single “Lit Effect” is a high-energy preview of what’s to come back.

Speaking of all-star lineups, IDK‘s new venture Even the Devil Smiles extends not solely his unbelievable (and slept-on) run as a solo artist, however his knack for assembling heavyweight collaborations. Pusha T, Black Thought, MF DOOM, DMX, RZA and Madlib are a few of the many huge names on the 15-track effort.

Roc Marciano can also be again in enterprise with 656, a completely self-produced album that includes a few cameos from fellow Rotten Apple rhymer Errol Holden.

Elswhere, Cam’ron airs out his points with Damon Dash on the aptly-titled “Letter To Dame,” 42 Dugg rounds up a couple of regular suspects for his hard-hitting new album Part 3, and Curren$y continues to disprove the stoner slacker fable with yet one more new mixtape.
