The Best Storytelling Rap Songs [Playlist]

Although a large portion of my writing tends to focus on electronic music, hip-hop and rap have always been my first love. I fell in love with the genre 20 years ago and it’s one of the few things that’s remained constant over the greater part of my life. One of the elements that always made rap so special is the storytelling aspect. A good writer can bring you into their world and take you on an epic adventure. To celebrate this dimension of the art form, I’ve put together a playlist that showcases some of the greatest storytelling rap songs of all time. The list ranges from raw street tales, to emotional and personal. We’ve got songs that personify the genre as a women, take you into the mind of a terrorist, and follow a dollar bill. There’s classic cuts from the likes of Warren G and Nate Dogg, Ice Cube, Slick Rick, Nas, Common and Biggie. Underground favourites like Apathy, Louis Logic and Cunninnlynguists. And of course, we’ve got tracks from some of the best new artists like J. Cole, Kendrick, Vic Mensa, Logic and Your Old Droog. Noticeably absent from the list in Jay Z. This is due to the fact that his music isn’t available on Spotify or he’d have a ton of entries on this.

Check out the full playlist below and let us know your favourites.

Ice Cube’s Hello Becomes A G-House Anthem

Are you wondering what happens when 2 young G-House producers collaborate together to create a track? Dr. Fresch and Bijou solve this problem with their latest original track, ‘Hello’. The bass-hitting track uses samples from former NWA members Ice Cube and MC Ren’s track of the same name to give you a hypnotic track you will most definitely be playing on loop. With Dr. Fresch already throwing this in his sets, and Confession’s producer Malaa doing so too, it’s safe to say you’ll be hearing this a lot more with festival season creeping up.

Here’s a few words on what Dr. Fresch had to say about the making of the track: “A couple months ago Ben came to me with the idea of working with the vocals from ‘Hello’, and I knew immediately that this was the perfect concept for our collab. I’m so happy with how the track turned out, it’s been destroying in my sets lately and think we accomplished exactly we set out to do… hopefully we get some fuckin’ thanks for it.” – Dr. Fresch

Take a listen to it below and start your long weekend off right.
