Top Rappers of the 2020s: Drake, Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole and More Leading Hip-Hop Today

Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

A new wave of talent is redefining hip-hop and shaping the music scene of the 2020s. From the chart-topping club anthems of Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion to the introspective lyricism of J. Cole and Kendrick Lamar, these artists continue making waves and opening the doors for newer acts to follow. Let’s explore the most influential rappers of the decade, celebrating their achievements and the impact they continue to have on the world of the genre.

Drake
Drake continued to dominate charts throughout the 2020s, with albums like “Certified Lover Boy” (2021) and “Honestly, Nevermind” (2022). He broke records by being the first artist to debut three songs in the top three spots on the Billboard Hot 100 simultaneously. Drake’s influence on hip-hop and pop culture remains unparalleled, and he has numerous Grammy Awards to his name.

Lil Baby
Emerging as one of Atlanta’s top voices, Lil Baby’s “My Turn” (2020) solidified his mainstream status. He earned critical praise for his socially conscious single “The Bigger Picture,” which was released amidst the Black Lives Matter protests and received Grammy nominations. He also won multiple BET Awards.

Megan Thee Stallion
Megan Thee Stallion became one of the biggest breakout stars of the early 2020s. Her song “Savage,” with the remix featuring Beyoncé, became a global hit, earning her multiple Grammy Awards, including Best New Artist. She has become a symbol of empowerment in hip-hop, known for her advocacy for women and mental health.

Kendrick Lamar
Though Kendrick Lamar has been around since the 2010s, his career has been just as successful in the 2020s. His 2022 album “Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers.” With multiple Grammys under his belt, it’s likely 2024s “Not Like Us” will earn him several new trophies.

Cardi B
Cardi B solidified her place as a mainstream powerhouse with songs like “WAP” featuring Megan Thee Stallion and “Up” in the early 2020s. Cardi has received several Grammy nominations, winning Best Rap Album for her debut, “Invasion Of Privacy.”

J. Cole
J. Cole has maintained a consistent presence in hip-hop with projects such as Grammy-nominated, “The Off-Season” (2021). His introspective style and focus on lyricism have earned him widespread critical acclaim.

Travis Scott
Travis Scott is a major force in the hip-hop and pop worlds, both as a rapper and producer. His album “Utopia” (2023) was just one of many chart-toppers. Additionally, he has produced for his peers such as Future and Drake.

Gunna
Gunna’s laid-back style and influence on trap music have made him a key player in the 2020s rap scene. His album “Wunna” (2020) debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. His 2024 album, “One of Wun,” peaked at number two, following by a sold out tour.

Doja Cat
Blending rap with pop and R&B, Doja Cat has become one of the most versatile artists of the 2020s. Her album “Planet Her” (2021) dominated charts worldwide, earning her first Grammy in 2022 for her hit “Kiss Me More” featuring SZA.

Rod Wave
Rod Wave has made a major impact with his emotionally raw and soulful approach to rap. His albums, including “SoulFly” (2021) and “Beautiful Mind” (2022), have topped the Billboard 200. His latest album, “Last Lap” debuted at number one on Billboard’s Top Streaming Albums chart.
