Artist: Kanye West
Album: TBA
Release Date: TBA
Aside from the usual tabloid noise surrounding the Kardashian family, 2017 was a suspiciously quiet year for the most influential hip-hop artist of the decade. Yes, there was the much-derided Trump Tower photo op, and news of a lawsuit against Jay-Z's Tidal service over royalties for his controversial, widely acclaimed The Life of Pablo. Musically, West made a handful of cameos with Mary J Blige, Drake, Cyhi Da Prynce and Tyga, and reportedly decamped to Wyoming to spark inspiration. "He's far from Hollywood and is very isolated right now. He wants to get back into his creative groove,? an anonymous source told PageSix.com, adding that longtime consigliere Pusha T participated in the sessions. (Later, a Def Jam rep threw cold water on rumors that West is entering a Twin Peaks phase.) However, Kanye's silence may soon end. On January 5th, various members of his DONDA team suggested that new music is imminent.

Artist: Rhye
Album: Blood
Release Date: February 2nd
It's been nearly five years since Rhye's debut Woman entranced listeners with its blend of airy dream pop, chilled electronics, sensuous R&B and singer-songwriter candor. Initially conceived as a one-off collaboration with silky singer Mike Milosh and producer Robin Hannibal, the project has since evolved into a full-fledged band. Last summer, Rhye began issuing new material, including their most recent single "Count to Five," as well as collaborating with like-minded musicians like Bonobo and Sylvan Esso. "We've spent the last few years on the road translating the Woman album from a bedroom project into a full live experience," Milosh says in a press release. "With Blood, it's been the opposite process; the music and sounds were really born out of the live environment and are built for performance.

Artist: Madonna
Album: TBA
Release Date: TBA
Now living outside Lisbon, Portugal, the shape-shifting superstar hinted that she'd be returning to the pop world when she dropped by Live with Kelly and Ryan in December. "2017 was soccer mom in Portugal ? 2018, I'm coming back, baby," she told fellow guest Anderson Cooper, who asked about her tour plans. "I'm traveling the world right now and listening to lots of different music," she told Entertainment Weekly in September. "I'm getting inspired by people and I'm just soaking things up right now. ... It's time for me to take a different approach and really get back down to the beauty and simplicity of music and lyrics and intimacy.

Artist: Frank Ocean
Album: TBA
Release Date: TBA
Last year, Frank Ocean issued four solo singles, as well as the luminescent "Slide" collaboration with Calvin Harris and Migos. Last November, he posted cryptically on his Tumblr page, "Well I made the album before 30. I JUST AIN'T PUT THAT BITCH OUT! ?quotes from an interview I haven?t given haha." (It was a reference to a 2012 tweet that he'd release "five albums before 30.") On New Year's 2018, Frank Ocean teased his fans further by posting an image of a young man with a hat that read, "If You Loved 2017, You'll Love 2018." These missives could just be red herrings from a brilliant musician whose art always invites myriad interpretations. Or they could be signs that a follow-up to his widely hailed Blonde is in the works.

Artist: Cardi B
Album: TBA
Release Date: TBA
Cardi B was one of 2017's biggest success stories, as the stripper-turned-Instagram-star-turned-reality-breakout ultimately turned into a platinum rapper. "Bodak Yellow" hit Number One and her collaborations with Maluma, Migos and G-Eazy turned into fruitful ways to solidify herself as more than a one-hit wonder. She launched 2018 with another surefire hit ? a remix of Bruno Mars' "Finesse" ? and teamed up with 21 Savage for a brilliantly vicious new solo song, "Bartier Cardi." All fall and winter, Cardi has promised fans a debut album to further assert her dominance. She's been in the studio with J. White (the producer behind "Bodak Yellow") and dancehall specialist Rvssian. "I got six, seven solid songs that I like, but I wonder if a month from now, I'm going to change my mind," she told Rolling Stone last fall while indicating that the Spanish and reggae music of her youth would blend with the trap that helped her top the charts.

Artist: Ariana Grande
Album: TBA
Release Date: TBA
Ariana Grande faced the unthinkable in 2017 when a terrorist attack at her Manchester, England, concert killed 22 young fans. In the shadow of that event, she managed to keep working on the follow-up to her million-selling 2016 LP Dangerous Woman. "I started an album already a year ago, over a year ago, but I want to keep creating, and it's not done yet," the singer told told Billboard in September. "So I'm going to take my sweet ass time, so I'll be rested and ready to go again as soon as possible." A few months later, Grande posted a snippet on Instagram of her singing the phrase "you can feel it," with a gospel choir riffing behind her. The video's caption read, "see you next year." "The things that she has to say on this album, it's pretty next-level," Pharrell Williams assured The Los Angeles Times. "Her album is amazing."

Artist: Migos
Album: Culture II
Release Date: TBA
After conquering 2017 with a Number One album (Culture), a Number One single ("Bad and Boujee"), and a ton of cameos, the Atlanta trio that some call the hip-hop Beatles are reloading for 2018. The reported first single, "MotorSport," which features Offset's fianc?e Cardi B and Nicki Minaj, has already cracked the Billboard Top 10. When asked by video magazine Montreality about Culture II, Offset called it "a masterpiece ? real processed. It's ready." Quavo, who is mixing the album with DJ Durel, added, "We're in a time where we're setting a trend. We started this whole lil wave, we started the whole genre, we started the whole flow, we started the whole melody. ? Hip-hop has changed in a whole big way. So you can mark this down as, we changed it."

Album: TBA
Release Date: TBA
It's hard to fathom that Nicki Minaj hasn't released a full-length album since 2014. The rapper and mogul is consistently everywhere: In 2017, she responded to her Remy Ma feud with two ferocious collaborations with Drake and Lil Wayne ("No Frauds" and "Changed It") and appeared on a number of hits, including Migos' "MotorSport" (alongside Cardi B), Gucci Mane's "Make Love," Katy Perry's "Swish Swish," Fergie's "You Already Know" and Yo Gotti's "Rake It Up." Still, Minaj has remained coy about the specifics of her fourth LP. "I know what this album is gonna mean to my fans," she told Roxane Gay in an interview for T Magazine. "This album is everything in my life coming full circle. ... Now, I can tell you guys what happened for the last two years of my life. I know who I am. I am getting Nicki Minaj figured out with this album and I'm loving her."

Release Date: February 9th
After teasing their involvement via an Easter egg in Kendrick Lamar's "Love" video, the acclaimed rapper and Top Dawg co-founder Anthony Tiffith announced that they will executive-produce the soundtrack to the latest Marvel Studios blockbuster. "The magnitude of this film showcases a great marriage of art and culture," Lamar said in a press release. "I'm truly honored to contribute my knowledge of producing sound and writing music alongside [director Ryan Coogler] and Marvel's vision." Little is known at the moment about who will appear, but it seems possible that Lamar and his TDE crew will be featured on multiple tracks: The first single, Lamar and SZA's "All the Stars," hit the Internet at the beginning of this year; and a recent trailer features a song by Lamar with Vince Staples

Album: Camila
Release Date: January 12th
Pressure runs high for a young pop star leaving behind a massive girl group, but in Camila Cabello's first year since departing Fifth Harmony she already has a Top Five hit with "Havana." Of course the process had included plenty of trial and error, including an album name change (it had been previously called The Hurting. The Healing. The Loving.) and a few promotional singles that didn't quite capture Cabello's particular spark, like the Quavo-assisted "OMG" and the Christina Aguilera-sampling "Crying in the Club." The album did a full 180-degree shift over the course of Cabello's first year on her own. "At first I thought it was gonna be, like, a sad-song album," she told Rolling Stone. "Then the more I got into the year, it was just better. I felt way happier. I feel that it has a good balance of the emo and the happy."
