Summer is right around the corner. And although we plan to spend the next three months having barbeques and going to the beach whenever we can, the thing we're most excited about is the music that's going to come out. To put things in perspective, we put together Complex's 20 Most Anticipated Albums of The Summer, with releases that are slated for June, July, and August. With new material from underground favorites like Tech N9ne and Curren$y, indie darlings like Artic Monkeys and Black Lips, and of course giants like Kanye West, Jay-Z, and Lil Wayne, in the immortal words of Killa Cam, "It's gon be a real motherfucking hot summer, man. For everybody." Now get our fucking pool in the back.

Where the hell is J.Cole's debut? How can you forget that? Even Cole announced it would be a summer album on Twitter. Bit of a big miss there Complex.
Malik Les Yeux Tristes May 19th, 2011 at 03:52 PM
J. Cole Should've Get The 5th Place on list.

Not to mention his boy Kendrick Lamar should of gotten mentioned too since hes got an album coming out called Section 80 and has put out one of the hottest rap songs right now called Hiiipower produced by cole himself!

J. Cole is dropping during the fall, not summer. But thanks for the passion.

Yea true, cause for a second I was going to ask where he was at.

You say Cole is releasing in fall, yet his Twitter messages continuously say "The summer is mine" and the single is releasing next week. At least admit you fucked up and forgot Cole #smh

if j cole isn't on here and his shit ends up as hot as it's gonna be, that makes it 100x better. i'd rather him not get publicity and then shock everyone. but ur right tho, he deserves a spot, they should just take wayne right off that shit.

WOW is a horrible list. How could Complex miss out on Cole World when they have been promoting it all year long?! So tired of seeing Carter IV being talked about. It will be trash like his latest releases.
