After a very uncertain summer, and the winding down of August (sigh), we can safely say that fall is definitely upon us. Fall brings us a new school year, the fashion collections and editorials we are dying to see, and of course new music! Here are some new albums to be released in the not too distant autumn months by some our favorite Femme Royale-worthy male artists.

Trey Songz "Ready"
9.1.09

Ohhhh Trey! Our fave man candy will be releasing his 3rd studio album "Ready" on 9.1.09 on the heels of his "Anticipation" mixtape release. For all those who have experienced "Anticipation" we are sure he will not dissappoint with "Ready", because we know that Mr. Songz does aim to please his fans. To celebrate his album release, he will be performing live in concert at New York's Highline Ballroom on the evening of 9.1.09. You can purchase your tickets here if you have not already. Get READY! (no pun intended)

Mr. Solo Dolo will be releasing his debut album "Man on the Moon: The End of Day" off of Kanye's G.O.O.D Music imprint on 9.15.09. The king of the cool kids is making a big name for himself, recently covering Complex and URB magazines. A day prior to the release on 9.14.09, tune into BET's Rising Icons series. He is featured as the "Breakout Rising Icon".

Ryan Leslie "Transition"
10.13.09

Musical genius/entrepreneur/community leader Ryan Leslie is set to release his 2nd studio album "Transition" on 10.13.09. Known for his heavy synth-production and catching melodies, "Transition" is looking to be an instant hit. "You're Not My Girl", the first single off the album is a smooth, head-bopping, r&b/dance track that can get the party grooving. Along with Kid Cudi, he will also be featured on BET's Rising Icons series. Tune into his performance on 10.26.09 where he will be featured as the "Suave Rising Icon".

Taping for this performance is THIS FRIDAY 8.21.09 at the BET Studios in NYC. He announced this via his Twitter earlier:

If you are a fan, get on it NOW!

His name is Wale and he's coming to get it. This DC-bred rapper backed by none other than Mark Ronson (he is signed to his Allido/Interscope imprint), is on his way to the top. Having much success with his mixtapes "Back to the Feature" and "The Mixtape About Nothing", Wale is ready to release his solo debut 10.20.09 headed by the infectious single "Chillin" featuring none other than pop icon in the making, Lady Gaga. He is the third of our four Boys of the Fall to be featured on BET's Rising Icons series. His performance airs 8.31.09...he is the "D.C. Rising Icon".
