Weekly Music Radar: Guide to the biggest releases of the week

Last week, fans witnessed the biggest rap beef since Jay Z and Nas released their infamous diss tracks in the early 2000s, with Drake and Kendrick Lamar going for each other's throats on vicious back-to-back records.

The most recent diss track was Drake's response on The Heart Part 6, where he battles the predatory allegations K-Dot has been laying out since the beef started on tracks like Euphoria. Drizzy doubles down on his claim of domestic abuse and infidelity in Kenny's personal life, which has led many to eagerly await a response from Kendrick.

Our Weekly Music Radar (WMR) this week will highlight 10 of the most unique projects scheduled to be released on Friday, May 3, across genres like hip-hop, pop, R&B, and more.

Chief Keef's highly anticipated fifth studio album, Almighty So 2, which comes almost 10 years after Keef uploaded his Almighty So mixtape in 2013, drops alongside multiple hip-hop, pop, and country projects, including Orville Peck's third studio album, Stampede: Vol. 1.
