You don’t need me to tell you how eventful this year was in regards to music, especially Hip-Hop & R&B. Today, I’ve put together 50 of the most essential; these are the songs that didn’t just top a chart or 20, but also have the staying power to stay in everyone’s digital tape decks well into the next year. Naturally, people like Drake will make more than enough appearances on this list, so there’s that.
Without further adieu (and in no particular order, except somewhat chronologically):
1. Jay Rock, Kendrick Lamar, Future & James Blake – “King’s Dead”
