My Favorite Songs Of The Year (So Far)

We're more than 1/2 way through with 2022. And this is the soundtrack that has helped me power through tough workouts, long road trips and rough days. If you love hip hop and claim you can't find any new music to listen then you need to free your mind and invest in a good pair of headphones. No matter what flavor of hip hop you prefer, I promise you, there's plenty out there to love. Click on the song title below to take a listen. 

10. Usain Boo - Kodak Black - Kodak's stream of consciousness musings make sure this undeniably joyful tune swings like nobody's business.



9. Recognize My Car - Paul Wall & Termanology - Vintage hip hop and classic cars. Makes me want to shine up my rims and take a road trip to H-Town.



8. Diet Coke - Pusha T - If you could spit coke bars this exquisite, you wouldn't switch up your style either.



7. Stick - (Ft. Kenny Mason & Sheck Wes) - Dreamville, JID & J. Cole - Mosh pit mania. Blow off some steam with the boys from Dreamville.



6. Put You On - Wiz Khalifa, Girl Talk, Big K.R.I.T. & Smoke DZA - I'll give you a blunt the size of Wiz Khalifa's if you can get through this track without bouncing up and down in your seat.



5. Johnny P’s Caddy - Benny The Butcher & J. Cole - Steel sharpens steel. The Butcher more than holds his own in the presence of elite company.



4. City Of Gods - Fivio Foreign, Kanye West & Alicia Keys - NY drill is in good hands with Fivio. And Kanye might be right with his claim that his performance here represents the feature of the year.



3. First Class - Jack Harlow - Harlow's got his finger on the pulse and his thumb on the scale.



2. The Heart Part 5 - Kendrick Lamar - Imma need y'all to make room. King Kendrick has returned and he's channelling the wisdom of our ancestors. All hail.



1. I’m Coming Over There - The Cool Kids (Ft. Guapdad 4000) - Boomin bass and catchy, comedic lyrics. What more could you ask for? The Cool kids open up a box of fun. Let's dance for now and worry about our this crazy world we live in later.
