DREAM BOYS and King James are reportedly set to launch their respective new albums before the end of the year.

Reports have abounded in recent months of their work on the tracks and the stars are close to wrapping up studio sessions before the launch.

Meanwhile, as the star duo gear up to launch new albums, another Hip-hop heavyweight is out to offer them some friendly competition: Jay Polly, who is due to launch his album at the end of the year.

The concerts for the album launch are sponsored by Bralirwa, after the trio emerged as finalists during the recent concluded Primus Guma Guma Superstar 2011.

King James, who emerged the first runners-up in the competition that was claimed by Tom Close, is set to launch his nine-track album entitled ‘Umuvandimwe’ in December. Dream Boys will launch their ‘Ndufitanyisano’ album in November, while Jay Polly’s ‘Iwacu’ is scheduled for October.
