It wasn't a good week to drop a rap album, with Drake shaking up the chart with the surprise release of Honestly, Nevermind.
Drake's seventh album will win the week but with an uncharacteristically low 230K SPS projection.
Kevin Gates and Logic both had the misfortune of dropping the day as Drake's surprise.
Logic's Vinyl Days is slated for a 35-45K first week, whereas Gates's Khaza is headed for 30 -40K.
That's a big drop for Logic, whose last album No Pressure took in 221K in its opening frame. It's a smaller drop for Gates, whose last album I'm Him did 72K.
