10 Best Hip-Hop Songs Of 2017 (So Far)

1. Kendrick Lamar - "Humble"

Undeniably popular and extremely catchy, "Humble" is a groundbreaking track that immediately places itself on the list of best hip-hop songs with a bouncy instrumental that captures an accurate essence of the rap game.

Releasing about a month before the full album dropped, "Humble" is another example of the stellar musical versatility of Kendrick Lamar by way of using his shrill delivery to capitalize on an instrumental that gives way for his treble-filled talent to take center-stage.

Mike Will Made-It has truly caught his stride as an in-tune producer that knows how to use traits from genres to mesh into a unique piece of music, and this year's best hip-hop song has his fingerprints all over it.
