New Music Friday: The Game, Lil Baby, Westside Gunn, Big K.R.I.T. & More

New Music Friday is back with a bang after the Thanksgiving break!

This week there are no shortage of albums looking to squeeze themselves onto end-of-year lists with The Game dropping his very first Gangsta Grillz mixtape, Lil Baby looking to silence his critics with a collection of Leaks, and Big K.R.I.T. returning with his first full-length release in three years.

Westside Gunn also extends his prolific streak with his fifth effort of 2025 so far (albeit a brief one), while Erick Sermon serves up a star-studded album full of heavyweight collaborations and promising up-and-comer redveil continues his ascent with the follow-up to his breakout 2022 project Learn 2 Swim.

The singles front is no less stacked, with new tracks from GloRilla, Ludacris, Polo G and G Herbo, Logic and Wiz Khalifa, Stove God Cooks and Mozzy to heat up the winter season.
