Here are a few more albums from this past weekend that we implore you to check out.

TM88 – F.I.L.A 25 (Forever I Love Atlanta)

TM88 decided to show real love to Atlanta with his new album F.I.L.A 25 (Forever I Love Atlanta), a full-on homage to the city that shaped him. Across a massive 24 tracks, he brings together a strong lineup of legendary Atlanta figures—OJ Da Juiceman, Future, Travis Porter, and plenty more—creating what feels like a time capsule and a celebration at the same time.

While Metro Boomin attempted something similar earlier this year with A Futuristic Summa, that project leaned heavily into dance and electronic textures. F.I.L.A 25, on the other hand, is rooted in Atlanta’s core identity: gritty trap drums, booming bass, and that unmistakable Southern bounce.

What stands out most is how smoothly the project flows despite its hefty tracklist. TM88 keeps the energy consistent, making the album feel less like a compilation and more like a well-curated tribute to the city’s sound.

Overall, it’s another project folks in Georgia can be proud of—and a reminder of just how deep Atlanta’s influence runs in hip-hop.

PlaqueBoyMax – Too Much Music

One could argue that PlaqueBoyMax is one of the most crucial new acts in hip-hop right now. His In The Booth streams—where he makes music live with a rotating cast of rappers—have been a major success, and honestly, I think they’ve benefited him more than the artists he’s featured. Now, he’s fully locked in on his solo career.

On Friday, PBM dropped a seven-track project called Too Much Music. What’s immediately noticeable is how effortlessly the New Jersey native bounces between styles. Across the tracklist, you’ll hear him rap over trippy production, smooth loops, chaotic soundscapes, and triumphant, chest-out beats. He mixes in a little bragging, a little singing, and a little strong-arming, all with that unpredictable, free-form energy he’s become known for.

Personally, I think the project leans a bit too erratic for my taste—but for younger hip-hop fans, that chaos is part of the appeal. Think of it like a more careless, YN version of an Earl Sweatshirt album.

Pressa – Pressa Machine II

How many people in America truly know that Pressa goes hard (Pause)? I’d argue not many. Even with his youthful, almost airy voice, a lot of what he says on records is straight-up demonic. And on Press Machine II, he doesn’t switch that approach at all.

Across the fourteen-track project, Pressa talks about doing grimy work in trap houses, being ready to shoot at a moment’s notice, and holding down his block with unwavering loyalty. What keeps the album interesting is how often the production shifts—moving between icy, hard-hitting beats, melancholic backdrops, R&B-leaning textures, and heavy trap rhythms.

Does his voice take some getting used to? Absolutely. But once you adjust, you can’t deny that he’s talking some very tough s**t.
