September Albums We're Excited to Hear

September means football, school days and watching those fall temperatures drop, but don’t sleep on the music; there are some dope albums dropping throughout the month. 

We’ve got some of the biggest superstars dropping new music this month; from Cardi B’s long-awaited sophomore album Am I The Drama? to Vie — the new project from Doja Cat. And, of course, the queen herself makes a grand return as Mariah Carey delivers her new album, Here For It All.

Here are some of the albums we are looking forward to this month
