Friday was a banner day for Hip Hop releases.
Meek Mill, Tyler, The Creator, Nav, Tyga and Trae Tha Truth all dropped albums.
Meek, Tyler and Nav are going to land on the top 20 chart, according to Hits Daily Double.
Mill's Wins & Losses is projected to do 85-90k sales plus streaming in its first week, of which 40-45k are traditional album sales. Tyler's Flower Boy should do 80-85K SPS, with 48K to 53K in traditional sales.
Meek and Tyler should be in a three-way dog fight for number one with Lana Del Rey's Lust For Life -- which HDD believes will edge Wins & Losses for the top spot.
It's all a bit of downer for Mill, as his last album Dreams Worth More Than Money did 250K first week
On the other hand, Flower Boy should challenge 2013's Wolf for the biggest opening of Tyler's career.

HDD has the Nav and Metro Boomin project Perfect Timing doing 25-28k/6-8k, which should land it around 15th place on the album chart
Neither Tha Truth Pt. 3 nor Tyga's Bitch, I'm The Shit 2 are projected to be in the top 20, suggesting they won't top 22K SPS.
