Hip Hop is a different beast though. If you do not record and release your shit right away someone will come down the line and use the dope beat you thought you had all to yourself and then your tracks sound like shit.
It is all different now. a record like Travis Scotts "Birds in Trap sing McKnight" goes to the top of the sales charts by selling 80,000 in one week. That is not enough money to recoup the expenses incurred in recording, production, mastering, samples licensed, merchandise, advertising etc.... Bands used ot have to tour 6-8 months out of the year to make money too. Only the acts with huge record sales actually made money off the sales themselves...
If your audience has a short attention span you need to keep your name out there and your music out there.
