1

Moneybagg Yo f. Gunna, "Wat U On"

Easily the best song on Moneybagg's Bet On Me tape.

2

Cupcakke, "Blackjack"

Some truly disgusting imagery ("Thick mayo on bread/ how I spread my legs") and some truly amazing rapping.

3

Young Nudy, "Know Whats Happenin"

Slimeball 3 is glorious.

4

YNW Melly, "Risk Taker"

ICYMI, I profiled the longtime Rap List fave here.

5

Lpb.Poody "Otha Shxt"

I'll keep putting every Poody song on these lists until he makes a bad song.

6

YG, "Too Cocky"

Ratchet YG is back.

7

Lil Tjay, "None Of Your Love"

Lil Tjay is like A Boogie but better. Guessing he's already signed — you don't hit a million views in New York without getting a record deal.

8

Lil Tracy, "Heart"

Prayers up for a speedy recovery for Tracy.

9

Thouxanbanfauni, "Rain On Ya Parade"

Requiem slaps.

10

Travis Scott f. Swae Lee, "R.I.P. Screw"

Idk if this is a rap song but it's the best song on Astroworld.
