THIS WAS 2022: The Rap Pundit’s Top 150 Songs of the Year

Amidst the weekly barrage of new releases, gems will always slip through the cracks. So I don’t care who it is picking “the best” rap songs of the year....I know that you, like me, are suddenly reminded of a dozen more songs that you like just as much as any of the songs on your list, mere moments after sharing it with the world. What I tried to do this year was pick a balance of personal favorites, and songs that I felt did a good job of representing the many different sounds and styles that ran deeply through the soil of 2022.

So here are my “Top 150 Rap Songs of 2022″...I hope that you become a fan of at least one new artist that was not previously on your radar.

1. “Tomorrow 2” - GloRilla feat. Cardi B

[If you would have told me this time last year that my choice for the best rap song of 2022 would come from Cardi B and a rapper from Memphis that I had previously never heard of, I would have told you that you’re probably confusing my tastes with someone else’s....but, here we are! "Tomorrow 2″ is simplicity at it’s finest, there’s so much going right with this joint: a charismatic, exciting new rap voice in GloRilla, arguably the hardest verse of Cardi B’s career, some catchy bouncy keys courtesy of Macaroni Toni, and an overall collaborative energy that just screams Memphis pride. The rest of the rap world has absorbed so much uncredited influence from Memphis, and with GloRilla running away with the breakout rap star of the year aware, doesn’t it feel right to salute this immensely talented music town in 2022?]

Top 101 Songs of 2022

2022 has been an exceptional year for new music and as always, I thought I would share with you my favourite songs of the last 12 months. Unlike my albums list, this one is unranked as this isn’t necessarily what I think are the best songs of the year, but more the songs that have ultimately come to soundtrack my 2022. Also, I find it impossible to favour songs over one another half the time – these are simply different tunes for different moods.

In this year’s playlist are plenty of lesser-known gems from some of my favourite new discoveries, the year’s best album cuts, my favourite collaborations, guilty pleasures and, of course, some of 2022’s biggest singles and club bangers. As always for the sake of diversity, I’ve kept it to strictly one song per artist (excluding a couple who are also included on other tracks as features).

Now I know what you’re thinking, and the answer is yes – as the official Sound of the Summer for 2022 here in the UK, Running Up That Hill by Kate Bush is included, despite the fact it was originally released in 1985. Also, the playlist is 101 songs this year rather than the standard 100, as a certain Miss Simz came along very late in the day and needed to be included. So this year you get a bonus track!
