7. I Do Me by Yungg Fattz ft. Boi Blakc (full analysis HERE)
Old school lovers will favor this record more than the rest on the list. Why? ‘Cause while it’s decidedly modernly mixed and mastered, those stringent claps and the deep baseline that kick off the record, remind us of the golden hip hop era (the late ’80s until early 2000s). I Do Me is motivational through its pompous narrative, IDGAF-ness factor, and seriously cool music.

A most wild, profane, and unorthodox song that rap enthusiasts will love with every passing second. That’s F*ck You Pay Me by Oscar Biggs and Crazy Ace. Their bars and message might just take your breath away.
