Spotify playlist: 40 of the best new rap, hip hop and grime tracks

We've kicked off a series of new playlists, curated by our in-house specialists and updated weekly, just for you.

This is the Rap Spotlight, where you'll find the best new rap, hip hop and grime from the US, UK and beyond. Jump in to find everyone from Young Thug to MoStack and Mary J. Blige to Novelist.

We'll keep the introductions brief because all you need is the bangers (and introspective ones, too). Hit the playlist below and don't forget to follow, as we'll be adding new tracks every week without fail.
