The last New Music Friday of the year for the year keeps delivering on Dec. 12, 2025.
Conway the Machine brings raw clarity and hard-earned perspective, continuing his run as one of hip-hop’s most uncompromising voices.
Juliana Hatfield returns with sharp songwriting and emotional weight, pairing melodic ease with the kind of lyrical honesty that has defined her career for decades.
Nas and DJ Premier reunite in a moment that feels both historic and vital, reminding listeners why their chemistry still sets the standard for East Coast hip-hop.
As always, the entire list of new albums released today, Friday, Dec. 12, 2025 is below in no particular order. My most anticipated albums are in bold.
