From gangsta rap's heyday to the rise of Beyoncé, this playlist captures one of the most fertile, dynamic periods in hip-hop and R&B, not to mention the first time they truly dominated the pop charts—a shift that continues to define music today. Don't think of it as nostalgia; these tracks sound as good now as they ever did. We update these selections every week, so if you hear something you like—whether it's a new discovery or a forgotten favorite—add it to your library.

Hip-hop and R&B offer some of the most fluid, dynamic sounds today, true barometers for where the culture is at and where it’s going. This week, headlining #OnRepeat—a playlist chock-full of the hottest new songs we can’t seem to stop playing—is the Young Thug and YFN Lucci collaboration “Whaddup Jesus,” which appears on Thug’s recently released <i>UY SCUTI</i>. “Whaddup Jesus” might be the most unconventional gospel song you’ll hear this year, but the pair have much to be grateful for. Both were forced to spend years of extremely fruitful careers behind bars, and it wasn’t all that long ago that handfuls of bars either spit could be interpreted as disses for the other. But they’re free now and putting any past disagreements behind them. Listen to “Whaddup Jesus” and check back for more of the newest, hottest hip-hop and R&B, as the #OnRepeat playlist is updated regularly. If you hear something you like, add it to your library.

Rap Life is home to hip-hop’s heavy hitters and its vanguard—the songs that speak to the moment and define the culture today. This week, that means “Pretty & Petty” from Cardi B’s recently released <i>AM I THE DRAMA?</i>. “I’m pretty and I’m petty as f**k,” starts the chorus, and things only escalate from there. The song is basically a declaration of war—or, potentially, the end of one—where Cardi dedicates two scathing verses to how much she dislikes Medford, Massachusetts, MC BIA. This is likely not a beef most Cardi B fans even knew existed, but in the words of a young Cardi herself, as a cast member of the beloved TV property <i>Love & Hip-Hop</i>, “A girl have beef with me, she gon’ have beef with me…forever!” Listen to “Pretty & Petty” on the Rap Life playlist now, and if you hear something you like, add it to your library.
