10 Best Hip-Hop Songs Of 2017 (So Far)
7. Playboy Carti - "Magnolia"
Playboi Carti first made waves in 2016 as he appeared on the A$AP Mob mixtape Cozy Tapes Vol. 1, but quickly rose to fame with the release of his own eponymous mixtape Playboi Carti.
The synths that gently wave in and out as the clarinet comes in to compliment the snare that rings in the background, and this is a unique case of a trap themed instrumental that comes off as an indie production.
Carti's sample from The Jamie Foxx show is only the cherry on top of this pop-culture shifting sundae, breathing organic energy into the futuristic beat.
He has also already been praised as being a big influence by hip-hop icon Jay-Z, proving that Carti has made generational waves as an artist.
Being only 20 years old, he brings an injection of youthful presence into the hip-hop game, and the future is bright for his career.
