- Latto, "Big Energy" Since Queen of Da Souf, Latto has proven to be the consummate MC by tossing darts and outshining her counterparts with her unrelenting energy.
- Lil Baby, "California Breeze" Sleeper hit “California Breeze” is quintessential Lil Baby, and the Murda Beatz and Mars-produced track is the highlight of his latest album It’s Only Me, peaking at No. 4 on the Hot 100.
- Ice Spice, "Munch (Feelin' U)" Bronx rapper Ice Spice made quite the splash this year: the 22-year-old drill newcomer gallivanted with Drake and got an unofficial remix from Cardi B, but most importantly, she delivered one of the biggest anthems of the summer.
- Kendrick Lamar, "N95" The beauty of sitting on the sidelines for five years is all the note-taking and observations you gain.

- "Just Wanna Rock" - Lil Uzi Vert. Who would have thought a Philly native could make such a fire Jersey club beat? Well, Lil Uzi Vert did just that with his song “Just Wanna Rock.”
- "The Heart Part 5" - Kendrick Lamar. Kendrick came out of his five-year hiatus when he dropped fifth installment to his “The Heart” series with “The Heart Part 5.”
- Quavo & Takeoff, ‘Only Built for Infinity Links’ If it wasn’t already clear from the Ghost-and-Raekwon-referencing title or the Andre-and-Big Boi posing of the cover, you could tell from the amped-up spitting of Only Built for Infinity Links intro “Two Infinity Links” how re-energized Quavo and Takeoff were to be operating as a duo, independent of their big-name group and its increasingly bloated Culture album series.
- GloRilla, ‘Anyways, Life's Great...’ GloRilla put forth one of the most memorable rookie of the year campaigns in recent years. The First Lady of CMG went from relative unknown to Grammy-nominated hitmaker within mere months.
