1

Valee, "Pepsi"

"I done spent two G's on salads/ I'm using my phone below average" is a great line.

2

Key Glock, "Spazzin Out"

Juicy J taking over 2019 on the production side is the best rap narrative right now.

3

NyNy f. Cuban Doll, "Get It Clear"

Short but sweet one from the Vallejo rapper's NyFertiti tape

4

Mozzy, "More Than Rappin"

I would say that the Mozzy/Philthy Rich beef but it has brought the best out of them both musically.

5

Freddie Gibbs & Madlib, "Crime Pays"

I want to move to this ranch with the zebras.

6

Denzel Curry f. Kiddo Marv, "WISH"

Standout for me from ZUU.

7

Hotboii, "Nuttin Inside"

I thought Florida had slowed down but maybe not. This is also great.

8

Lil Gray, "Clipping"

Lil Gray is definitely the most slept-on DMV rapper.

9

Great song, beautiful beat but the fact that Lean and Thaiboy were apparently in Bangkok with DJ Paul alone is enough to earn this a place the list.

10

SOB X RBE, "Rich"

The gang is back...minus Lul G : /
