The Top 50 Hip-Hop/Rap Songs of September 2016 | Audiomack Playlist

This month may be the best yet, from top to bottom — and that last part’s proverbial, as all the playlists are ‘mixed’ based on sound, style, and theme, and not from the best to the 50th best. Standouts this month:  First and foremost, my past collaborator REKS, who appears THREE TIMES over top-notch production. An African anthem put together by the legendary DJ Jimmy Jatt, featuring Femi Kuti and my friend and “I Am” collaborator Modenine. Two in-your-face political cuts, from rappers’ rappers Emilio Rojas and Saigon. The song that sold me on young white rapper Token, the heartfelt “Happiness”. Two songs featuring my favorite rapper — and friend and collaborator — ILL BILL. Better representation for women in Hip Hop, with new music from Dominique Larue, Eternia and Rapsody. My introduction to Chox-Mak, who beat me to the punch using his daughters to deliver a beautiful hook. Break-neck beats from Statik Selektah, Buckwild, Large Professor, Alchemist, Apollo Brown, Nottz, Optiks and J. Rawls. The return (again) of one of my personal favorites, Mickey Factz. More brilliant bully rap from Conway and WestSide Gunn.

The Top 50 Hip-Hop/Rap Song of August 2016

I scoured the depths of the Internets’ top music-hosting site, Audiomack, and I picked the best 50 songs from about 150 in consideration. I curated a streaming mix that spins smoothly right through — and not in order from best to worst. This month’s top-10 standouts are:

1. The creative and comical yet socially conscious “Cam’ron Voice” from Uncle Murda, whose politicization I noted last month
2. Two songs from SRFSCHL affiliate Danny Matos, whose LP with Rusty Mack and The Red Walrus produced a number of possible picks
3. The triumphant return of Protest Music artist Lowkey of the UK
4. Two flawless, jazzy and soulful collaborations between producer Apollo Brown and Skyzoo (who appears three times this month)
5. The Hannibal King-blessed lead single from ‘Lightbulb Over My Head While I’m Thinking’ by Teck-Zillaand Kentucky’s Allen Poe
6. Two (very different) appearances from Boston legend Akrobatik
7. A posthumous classic from Sean Price, produced by the incredible DJ Skizz
8. “Cops N Robbers” from Rhymefest, inspired by a harrowing personal story of being robbed at gunpoint and then treated like a criminal when reporting the crime to the Chicago Police Department
9. MY summer anthem, “Summer Not Coming”, by SHIRT, who premiered the song live throughout NYC on a pickup truck with a big speaker in the back
10. A song I just can’t get out of my head, “Plata O Plomo” by the City of Snow’s good-fella rapper Tone Atlas, featuring playlist regular Conway the Machine

Honorable Mention: With “NSFW”, Sa-Roc slays on behalf of women everywhere (she got the answers, Sway!)
