Busta Rhymes is preparing Dillagence 2 , a sequel built around J Dilla production. Here’s why the project matters for hip-hop. Some collaborations just make sense. Busta Rhymes confirmed earlier this year that he is preparing Dillagence 2 , a new project built around production from the late J Dilla. The project follows Busta and DJ Mick Boogie’s 2007 Dillagence mixtape, where Busta attacked a collection of Dilla beats alongside several guests. In February 2026, Busta held a New York listening session previewing the sequel. A release date and official tracklist still had not been announced at the time of the reveal. That alone should have boom-bap fans paying attention.

Bryson Tiller appears to be loading up for a much bigger 2026 than one single. “Drop The Lo” arrived June 5 through Trapsoul/RCA Records, blending the R&B and trap combination that has been central to Tiller’s sound since his breakout years.

He can sing a record without sounding like a traditional R&B singer, then slide into rap without making the transition feel forced. That middle ground eventually became part of the blueprint for an entire generation of melodic artist...

Jack Harlow’s Monica finds the Louisville artist moving deeper into R&B as his 2026 tour gets underway. Here’s why the change matters. Jack Harlow isn’t moving like an artist interested in making the same record forever. His fourth studio album, Monica , arrived March 13, 2026 through Atlantic Records after a three-year gap from Jackman. Much of the project was created at New York’s Electric Lady Studios following Harlow’s move to the city. Now the album has turned into a full touring era, with the North American Monica tour kicking off August 4 and scheduled to run through September 21.
