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. Few tracks in 2024 embody that ideal the way Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” does. Let us, if just for a moment, forget about the Godzilla vs. King Kong-like back-and-forth with Drake that inspired the song. When “Not Like Us” was unleashed upon an already rapt listening audience, its barrage of quotable catchphrases burrowed deep into the hip-hop consciousness instantly. The song was the answer to a challenge most fans wouldn’t have thought Kendrick even considered, but if he was going to prove he could make a party record, he would do so maintaining the integrity of his practice. And that, both literally and philosophically, made all the difference. The gap between Kendrick Lamar albums has at times tricked casual fans into believing LA doesn’t have an enduring rap hero, but King K-Dot made sure to certify his presence in song. “City is back up, it’s a must we outside!” he declares.

Change is good, but a lot of the best R&B points back to the source. Focusing on current stuff with some classics sprinkled in, this playlist highlights grown-up R&B tunes with hints of the classic tradition: relaxed new sounds with the same old soul. Our editors are always switching things out, so if you hear something you like, add it to your library.

Country isn't exactly short on sweet, innocent tunes about falling in love. But what about something a little more intimate? A little more, well, adult? Here's a country set for when the lights go down. Our editors regularly refresh this playlist. If you like a song, add it to your library.

Bursting onto the scene as sly, spiky Britpop provocateurs, Arctic Monkeys have daringly reinvented themselves again and again. They can be as thrilling powering through sludgy stoner rock or serenading us with a vintage pop gem as when they're thrashing around in rambunctious post-punk—often with a little Kinks-style charm thrown in for good measure.
