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 a bonus track from South Memphis MC Key Glock’s celebrated album <i>Glockaveli: The Don</i>. The song is called “Money Habits,” and while it isn’t a big deviation from the thug motivation we know Glock to deliver, it paints a crystal-clear picture of what it takes to live the Key Glock lifestyle. “Multi-million-dollar n***a, but I still keep that ratchet/Even when I'm gray and old, I'ma still be pistol-packing,” he raps. Listen to “Money Habits” on the Rap Life playlist, and if you hear something you like, add it to your library.

“Summertime is all about living life fully,” Jack Harlow tells Apple Music of this exclusive summer playlist, which includes tracks from Drake, Brent Faiyaz, SZA, and Tems, and of course a few of the Louisville MC’s own songs. “Those trips you planned months ago, reunited with the friends who suddenly became less occupied,” Harlow continues. “Bright colors, lots of skin, Jeep Wrangler without the doors, you know? The American dream.”

Some rappers are born for the spotlight, but without beatmaking virtuosos like T-Minus those lights wouldn't be nearly as bright. Combining molasses-thick synths with bursts of bass, T-Minus's productions have helped stars like Kendrick Lamar and Drake find their way to the top of the charts.

Here’s where you’ll find the best hip-hop tracks making the rounds online. Just like your feed, this playlist is constantly being updated—if you hear a song you like, add it to your library.
