Indiana Rome Dope Dealers 2 Cosigned by the newly formed Delmar Records, Indiana Rome aims to build upon the success of his last album, saying, "It's like the original 'Dope Dealers' on steroids." A combination of old school R&B mixed with new trap influences, his sound aspires to be as good for the soul as it is for the trunk. Indiana Rome will produce most of the album himself, though he has tapped fellow artists Black Spade and Jackpot to make his production really thump.

Lyrically, Dope Dealers 2 will hit on the familiar motifs of the average man's plight of love, life, and the pursuit of prosperity, and it is currently slotted for a late April release.

Nick Menn Kush & Kung Fu 2 Having stockpiled a treasure trove of unreleased tracks, Nick Menn is scheming for several big releases in 2015, the first being a sequel to his 2012 mixtape "Kush & Kung Fu." With DJ Sno at the helm and features from the Doorway collective (amongst others), Nick explores multiple styles of hip-hop, from house parties to the street. "I want the mixtape to be a summary of me as an artist," says Nick, who is known to be equally psychedelic as he is serious.

The release, coming between April and May, will be a fresh start for the artist formerly known as WhiteOut who has yet to return to form since his previous successes that earned him RFT's award for Best Hip-Hop Artist of 2013.
