Chris Brown - X
Release Date: September 16
Why You Should Be Excited: Chris has kept his fans waiting for X for a little over a year, and Breezy season is finally upon us. The crooner revealed that his sixth studio album showcases a more mature CB. The 25-year-old is shying away from his more lusty lyrics in exchange for a musical metamorphosis. Breezy released the tracklisting earlier this week and he's enlisted the help of Kendrick Lamar and R&B heavyweights Trey Songz and R. Kelly. The album is 17 tracks deep, with the deluxe edition pushing it to a cool 21 songs, including his radio hits over the past year.

Jhené Aiko - Souled Out
Release Date: September 9
Why You Should Be Excited: Jhené ’s honest lyrics read like the pages of your diary, and Drake comparisons are unstoppable. Aside from being on your favorite rapper’s hook, Jhené released her EP Sail Out in 2013 and “The Worst” got some serious airtime. Her debut album Souled Out was projected for a May 2014 release but was pushed back once more before it hits shelves this September. Even better -- get ready for a super chill autumn.

50 Cent - Street King Immortal
Release Date: September 16
Why You Should Be Excited: When he’s not directing Power or calling out Floyd Mayweather's literacy skills, Fif is, you know, making music. His sixth album will be released on the heels of G-Unit’s pretty solid reunion EP, The Beauty of Independence. Fif wrote Street King Immortal before he released Animal Ambition in June.
