The Best Nav Collaborations
Nav isn’t the first producer- turned- rapper that hip-hop has seen, but he’s quickly distinguishing himself in today’s rap game as a thoughtful curator of songs and sculptor of beats. He’s contributed his ear to hits like “Back to Back” for Drake, and even executive produced alongside Metro Boomin on Perfect Timing. Since breaking into the game and signing with The Weeknd’s XO, Nav is always with the right people at the right time.

BIO
See that kid in the photo? That was me six years ago. I’m 23 now. Look at me—so young, so full of life! I didn’t have a care in the world. I was free and ambitious to bring something new to the table. My talent as a young man in high school took me as far as Paramount Studios, I remember. This photo was just the beginning of a journey that would forever mark my life as an artist.

Best Female Horrorcore Rappers
These ladies are honestly quite hard to miss. Horrorcore genre, as a whole, deals with a wide spectrum of topics and beliefs when it comes to both music and style. These rappers are practically the opposite of the best nerdcore rappers! Overall, they share in one common message: gruesome violence. It may sound almost like a bad thing, but perhaps it depends on who is examining the music itself. You see, horror fused with hip-hop is the essential background of this subgenre, but there's of course much more that goes into it.

Top Hip Hop Hits of 2010's (According to Me)
The 90’s and early 2000’s brought some of the most iconic hip hop artists of all time. From 2pac to 50 cent rap overwhelmed the music scene for nearly a decade and a half. With such success in the past many have begun to question the current state of the rap and the future of the industry. Although a demographic feel that the golden years of the genre are in the past I argue some of the greatest hits are among this very decade and that the future will only offer more. Below I have provided several examples of my favourite rap songs produced throughout this decade.
