February is officially over starting Friday, but we still have some big artists dropping new projects to kick off March. With spring right on the horizon, here’s a list of some of new stuff that’s coming this weekend that you can add to your playlist.
2 Chainz- “Rap or Go to the League” 3/1

After a two year hiatus, 2 Chainz is back with his fifth solo album. The Atlanta rapper announced earlier this month that NBA superstar LeBron James would serve as the executive producer on the album. It’s always a pleasant surprise when 2 Chainz drops new music.
Solange has been making some buzz on her Twitter account this week, teasing the potential release of a new album. Today it was announced that her new project will be coming out tomorrow. It’s a 19 track album and a follow up to her incredibly successful “A Seat at the Table.”
Hozier- “Wasteland, Baby!” 3/1

The sophomore album from folk rocker Hozier is set to come out tomorrow. His self-titled debut, which came out five years ago, had some massive radio play and the Irish-native soared into the mainstream with his hit “Take Me To Church.” It’ll be interesting to see if he can build off his success and avoid a slump.
Lil Skies- “Shelby” 3/1

Another sophomore album set to be released tomorrow comes from Soundcloud rapper Lil Skies. His sound fits in with the current wave of hip-hop so don’t be surprised if this new project catches fire. The rapper also announced that he will be going on tour with Lil Pump this spring.
Weezer– “The Black Album” 3/1

Not to be confused with Jay-Z, this is 100% a Weezer album. There are people out there who still believe Weezer can make a good record. I am one of those people. The band’s most recent release “The Teal Album” had the group covering classic 80’s songs, but this new release is all original music. Let’s just pray it’s closer to “The Blue Album” and “Pinkerton” than “Raditude.”
The Cali rapper rounds out the weekend with his second album titled “Be Safe.” Lil Xan is dropping this project on Sunday, fresh off the news that he is expecting his first child. The album has been postponed once before, so there is a chance it may happen again, but it should still be on the radar for this Sunday.
After a looooonnnngggg offseason of waiting, Bryce Harper has finally signed a deal with the Philadelphia Phillies per Jon Heyman.
Harper has agreed to a 13 year $330 million deal, making it the highest free agent contract ever handed out in the history of professional sports. The former NL MVP isn’t moving too far from Washington and is staying within the division to continue his reign of terror amongst the NL East. The finer details of the contract are still being figured out, but Harper has, at long last, found a new home.

Philadelphia has had a monster offseason adding a handful of other All-Stars like shortstop Jean Segura, catcher J.T. Realmuto, and outfielder Andrew McCutchen. The team adds on to a plethora of young talent and have become automatic World Series contenders with this gigantic acquisition. Harper should be joining the team for spring training as soon as the ink is officially dry on the contract.

Two new singles from Vampire Weekend’s fourth studio album “Father Of The Bride” are set to be released on March 6.
The band announced on their Instagram page that two new songs titled “Sunflower” and “Big Blue” will commence phase two of their album rollout. Earlier in the year, the group wanted to release two new songs each month leading up to their album date in either April or May.
Last week the group released the video for their single “Harmony Hall” featuring Jonah Hill in a cameo appearance. It was also announced that Hill would direct an upcoming video for the band, which makes it a good bet to think that he will be behind the camera for their next drop.
We’ll be sure to cover the new tracks when they are officially released. The last batch of songs were great so officially the band can keep the hot streak alive.

Solange has been in the news that last couple of days tweeting some teasers about a potential new project. This afternoon she tweeted out an image which appears to be a tracklist for an upcoming album release.
This new release will follow up her wildly successful 2016 release, “A Seat at the Table” which earned Solange her first Grammy win. There are no further details on when the album is set to be released, but her Twitter indicates that new music should be on the way soon.
*UPDATE*2:51 p.m.

We are getting closer and closer to the premiere of the final season of “Game Of Thrones” and we finally have the first set of promotional posters.
The posters are the first true set of promotional material from the show aside from a view stills and small clips shown. This rollout features 20 different characters sitting upon the coveted iron throne, including a character that may surprise some viewers.

There are ten other characters featured on the posters too that you can find here. The big surprise here is clearly the Night King sitting on the throne; a destiny that projects doom and gloom for the rest of the characters on the show. Another thing to note, the Jon Snow poster looks eerily similar to the season one poster that features Ned Stark sitting in a similar position. Is this foreshadowing Jon Snow’s fate?
