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

6. A$AP Rocky Ft. Playboy Carti, Quavo, Frank Ocean, And Lil Uzi Vert - "Raf"

Listed as an A$AP Mob song, "Raf" is a special type of single, focusing on the fashion of designer Raf Simons and including Migos member Quavo, up-and-comer Lil Uzi Vert and award-winning producer/Rn'B singer Frank Ocean.

The song is a tribute the decadence that comes with keeping up with high-end fashion and uses that theme as common ground to collaborate.

Frank Ocean might seem like a strange addition to this trap-oriented single, he makes himself right at home with a catchy verse that uses intriguing imagery of vibrant caricatures of the extravagence of his belongings.

Lyrically speaking, all of the artists that here made sure that their efforts came off as playful and energetic in giving vibrant descriptions to their lives that give way to the lax-delivered chorus by Rocky and once again in smooth fashion by Ocean.

Quavo and Rocky equally took command of the music arrangement, and this should serve as a proper review of what is to come for A$AP Mob and offer an alternate take of Ocean's artistic vision.
