Hip-Hop Best Rap Songs 2020 (Best Albums 2020), Rap Songs That Went Viral In 2020 - Hip-Hop Universe
This year, the music industry felt the impact of the pandemic. The idea of releasing new music worried many artists at the start of spring, as uncertainty was at an all-time high. How they be able to maneuver? Would people care? Those questions lingered heavily but didn't stop rap's momentum. Though the dust has yet to settle, many hip-hop stars flipped the script and have feverishly released albums to keep their fans satiated. From posthumous releases (Mac Miller, Juice WRLD, and Pop Smoke) to female rappers' ongoing surge (Megan Thee Stallion, Chika, and Flo-Milli), hip-hop was able to truck through the bumpy road of 2020 It is that season when “best of” lists abound and, in a year that featured some remarkable music from artists across the landscape, 2019 kept Hip-Hop fans on the edge of our seats. There were reunions, surprise collaborations, and show-stopping debut albums. The year also featured innovative label compilations, unexpected additions to highly-respected discographies, and impressive comebacks. Now is an excellent time to reflect on the best ones. Hip-Hop Universe is narrowing down the endless amount of music released during the course of the year to the essentials, providing readers with a list of the must-listen projects.
