With more than five decades of history behind it, rap isn’t easy to sum up. Still, we gave it a try. Focusing on crucial tracks from all eras and styles, this playlist offers a wide-angle look at the most important subgenre of American music since rock—and the lodestar of modern pop. From underground to the mainstream, the breaks to golden age, and gangsta to now, here’s a survey of all hip-hop has to offer. We regularly rotate these selections to keep things fresh, so if you hear something you like, add it to your library.

OZ's murky bangers epitomise the sound of 2010's hip-hop. The Swiss producer's work is marked by chiming tones, whether it's the minimalist piano notes of Meek Mill's "Cold Hearted" or the orchestral keyboards of Bushido's "Sodom und Gomorrah". His unique style has resulted in the cloudy, hulking beats of Drake's "U With Me?" and Travis Scott's darkly mesmerising late-night escapade "the ends".

If you need an aggressive beat to get your point across, hit up DJ Dahi. He's helped Drake get on his worst behavior while hooking up with Q, Kendrick, and Logic. When your hardest lyrics need the toughest production, there's only one man to call.
