The entirety of Jan 1, 2024 - Dec 31, 2024 releases are fair game, those are the only rules. The goal as always is to create the best playlist of rap songs from a single year possible. The playlist is meant to be enjoyed, whether listened to in order or on shuffle, as opposed to being a pretentious statement on taste.

It's also a living, breathing thing and will change over time (on YouTube & Spotify). This post is a snapshot of 2024 as things stand at the end of the year. Some music ages well, some does not, and no matter how much rap music one person might consume in a given year some things are always discovered belatedly.
