We thought hip-hop died in 2017, credit goes to the rise of mumble-rappers, but luckily a lot of young talented rappers have emerged to save the rap industry. Enough with the mumble-crap, saith these rappers, and spewed out lyrics too hot to handle.
Kendrick Lamar saved us. So did several hip-hop artists who do more than mumbling something strange and weird.
Check out Kathmandu Tribune’s Top 10 best rap songs of 2017 below.
