2024 saw a powerful resurgence of regional rap. Atlanta stayed on top, with Latto and Future leading the charge, while LA’s Kendrick Lamar and G Perico proved the West was still a force. New York artists like Cash Cobain brought fresh energy, Detroit continued its rise, and Florida artists like Bossman D Low and Lul Tyler added their unique flair. Texas saw Megan Thee Stallion dominate alongside breakout star Mexican OT, while Memphis’ GloRilla carried the torch for Southern rap.

TDE had a standout 2024, with Kendrick Lamar delivering another masterpiece and Doechii cementing her superstar status. SZA’s chart dominance continued while Schoolboy Q and Ab-Soul dropped highly anticipated albums. The celebration of Isaiah Rashad’s Cilvia Demo anniversary added to TDE’s impressive year.

This year, women in rap set the standard. GloRilla and Rapsody delivered potential album-of-the-year contenders, while Megan Thee Stallion, Nicki Minaj, Flo Milli, and Latto kept the genre buzzing. Women in hip-hop shattered ceilings proved their staying power and redefined the game.

2024 will forever be remembered for the historic feud between Drake and Kendrick Lamar. This wasn’t just a battle of diss tracks; it became a defining cultural moment that shifted the hip-hop landscape and sparked endless conversations.
