New Music Friday is coming in strong this Black Friday, with a fresh lineup to add to your playlists.
Lil Baby sets the tone with his new single, “Middle of the Summer,” a continuation of his ongoing Wham Wednesday streak that has kept fans fed since his January 2025 project, “Wham.” With “Middle of the Summer,” he leans closer into album mode. “The Leaks” will finally be unveiled on Baby’s 31st birthday, December 3rd. Judging by his consistent flow of singles, it’s clear that the Atlanta star is preparing something special for his day-one supporters.
Lil Uzi Vert follows up with “Chanel Boy,” a highly anticipated release that marks his first major drop since going independent and shifting to Roc Nation Distribution. The single arrives after his departure from Atlantic Records, the label that has shaped his career. While there’s no word on Uzi’s next album, “Chanel Boy” offers a promising path for the Philly star.
YFN Lucci continues to put in work since his release from jail. On Tuesday, he unveiled “Already Legend, Thankful Edition.” The deluxe version of his September 2025 album, the “Thankful Edition,” is accompanied by the lead single, “Tell Me.” The track brings along 42 Dugg and Lil Baby, merging Atlanta and Detroit vibes.
While this week’s New Music Friday is a mostly quiet one, there are still several hot releases to get the weekend started. Take a scroll below to discover new heat from other artists, including Russ, Central Cee, and more.
