It s a wide-open pop universe at the beginning of 2021 when after a packed holiday season and now a near-full year of pandemic-induced global shutdown, it seems like there s a whole lot of empty space just waiting to be filled by returning superstars and exhilirating new talents.
What might that look like when it happens? Well, our staff has some ideas. Here are 25 things we d like to see happen in the pop world in 2021 some of which have already been rumored or hinted at, and some of which are sprung entirely from our own imaginations, but all of which could make the year in music as fun and exciting as we hope it will be.
All Money In Records rapper J Stone was a recent guest on
The Bootleg Kev Podcast where he spent extensive time talking about the imprint’s late founder Nipsey Hussle.
At one point during the conversation, Stone was asked if there was any type of posthumous project in the works and although he skirted around the question at first, he ultimately revealed there’s an album on the way. But like Nip did with
Victory Lap, his team is taking their time to make sure it’s of the highest quality possible.
“Hey man, there’s so much music this n-gga done did bro,” Stone tells Kev in the clip. “You wouldn’t even imagine bro. There’s shit I haven’t even heard and I thought I heard everything.”
