Playboi Carti f. Lil Uzi Vert, "Shoota"

Literally the best rap song I've heard in 2018.

2

10cellphones, "Kicking Doors"

I love a beat with bells.

3

YBN Cordae, "My Name Is (Eminem Remix)"

Is backpack rap back? Is there a new member of YBN every week? Yes and yes.

4

GlokkNine, "10 Percent"

South Florida got another one.

5

Rico Nasty, "Rage"

Rico and Kenny Beats remain undefeated.

6

70th Street Carlos, "Sprite"

There's nothing more Louisiana than a beat with a tuba bassline. Mannie Fresh would be proud.

Lil Dude, "PSA"

A new addition to the sneaking and creeping rap delivery from Maryland's Lil Dude.

YNW Melly, "Slang That Iron"

A "Say Goodbye" flip fit for the most emotional Gs.

Ramadan Mubarak.
