What this week lacks in studio album releases, it makes up for in mixtape releases. This week finds a host of new era rappers dropping free releases, while a Los Angeles-based duo drops its sophomore album.

The Los Angeles by-way-of Denmark electro soul duo Quadron release their second official album, Avalanche, with a little help from Kendrick Lamar on "Better Off." At the same time, Alley Boy, Hodgy Beats and Young Rhome all sport new mixtape releases this week.
