Yes, but for fun I wanted to highlight a few other (as in 5) rap singles that stuck with me through it all.<br />
<br />
1. GrandeMarshall - Mugga Man<br />
<br />
This North Philadelphia native mixes a honed breezy aesthetic with a demographic usually gasping for breath.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
2. Lil Durk - Bang Bros<br />
<br />
Also a favorite of the now deceased Sixers rap group WHOP headed by Tony Wroten. RIP WHOP.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
3. Travi$ Scott feat. T.I. and 2 Chainz - Upper Echelon <br />
<br />
A standout track from the very promising mixtape "Owl Pharaoh", GOOD music/Epic Records/Grand Hustle signee Travis Scott turns out a MTV Jam of the Week that aged surprisingly well.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
4. A$AP Ferg ft. A$AP Rocky, French Montana, SchoolBoy Q & Trinidad James - Work Remix<br />
<br />
This gets the nod over "Shabba Remix" strictly on the shoulders of the Gucci level goofiness that is French Montana's verse.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
5. Pusha T feat. Chris Brown - Sweet Serenade <br />
<br />
Pusha T soars on this swooning anthemic cut blessing us with his classic ad-libs like EGHCK and a few WOOOs!!! in a row.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
I really enjoy making these lists even if it generates a significant amount of stress (what did I miss?!?!). Arguably the laziest thing you can do when creating a list is not putting them in order which I've done in the passed, so I did my best to rank them this year. I would love to hear what you think.<br />

2. Grande Marshall - 800<br />
3. Miguel - Kaleidoscope Dream<br />

6. Beach House - Bloom<br />
7. Hot Chip - In Our Heads<br />
8. Twin Shadow - Confess<br />
9. Titus Andronicus - Local Business<br />
10. DIIV - Oshin<br />
11. Dean Blunt & Inga Copeland - Black is Beautiful<br />
