Number four on the list is rap’s “number one free agent,” Chance The Rapper. If Rocky keeps up his pace, he will be a staple in the rap game for a long time. Kendrick Lamar, Drake and 2 Chainz all featured on his smash hit "F*****n' Problems." Other artists like Schoolboy Q, Skrillex, Kanye West, Mark Ronson and Rod Stewart are just a few of the many artists who lend their talents to his amazing songs. Rocky has also made many friends in the music industry over his short career.

Both of his albums since, "$AP" and "AT.$AP," feature Rocky creating songs full of catchy verses and loud beats. He became an overnight hit with his single "Purple Swag." He then released his mixtape "$AP" to much acclaim and got a deal with RCA records. Rocky got his start rapping while selling drugs on the streets of New York in his middle to late teens. If the album is as good as Kanye’s friends like Travis Scott claim, he may move up a couple of spots. For months now we’ve been waiting for “SWISH” but it has yet to be released. He falls so far on the list because his most recent effort “Yeezus” was good but a bit of a step down for the great rapper. Albums like “The College Dropout,” “Late Registration,” “Graduation” and “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy” are all classics that have made him arguably the best rapper of the 2000’s. If I was making this list 10 years ago, he would easily be in the top three. I look forward to seeing how the two brothers, Swae Lee and Slim Jimmy, progress as rappers. They are able to talk about things like overcoming obscurity in the world and could-have-been relationships over beats that would get anyone dancing. They make club music work thanks to help from noted producer Mike Will Made It. The 11 song album featured five singles, two of which, "No Type" and "No Flex Zone," went platinum.



Like Staples, Sremmurd also released their debut album, “Sremmlife,” to much acclaim, earning a 78 on. Being the only group on this list, I decided not to split hairs and left both members together.
