THINGS TO KNOW

We’ve come to the end of another streaming year, and for 2021 we look forward to resuming a year’s-end tradition here at Syntax Creative that we haven’t highlighted since our move to Tennessee: Top 10 lists!

As the year winds down, we’ll turn back the clock and kick things off with our Top 10 Hip Hop / Rap singles of 2021. This list (as with all of them that will publish before Christmas, stay tuned!) was determined by a combination of streaming, download, and overall sales statistics at all measurable platforms beginning Jan. 1, 2021. This list is in no particular order:

• “Attributes of Mercy” | Japhia Life
• “Bom Tempo (Good Time)” | Adriel Cruz feat. Pregador Luo
• “Damage” | James Gardin
• “Stop Us?” | Cephas
• “Save My Homies” | C4 Crotona
• “Callin’ Me” | Kaboose
• “Erasure (Talking Drums)” | Terror Firma
• “Something from Nothing” | Imperial, K.I.N.E.T.I.K. & Awon
• “Catching Time” | Rel McCoy
• “Elevate” (Instrumental) | Strike Team

You can stream all of these songs—and much more—on our TRU Hip Hop playlist, updated weekly: CLICK HERE to follow on Spotify; CLICK HERE to view all streaming services.
