NPR Music’s Daoud Tyler-Ameen and Ann Powers take you on a tour of the most exciting albums out Friday, Sept. 6, including a album-length collaboration (don’t call it a comeback) between rapper LL Cool J and producer Q-Tip. Among the week’s other new releases, there’s a potential breakthrough record by MJ Lenderman, who has built anticipation in the indie world based on his own tilted, shambolic songs as well as his guitar playing in the band Wednesday and his collaborations with Waxahatchee.
Plus, Ann and Daoud dig into how up-and-coming musicians get to the point where people start to think of them as the “next big thing,” and what the title can mean for an artists.
