Being named Rapper of the Year in this environment means that your body of work can inspire your peers and up-and-coming young artists while connecting and communicating with fans around the world.
Consistent, layered, and easily digestible, the music can be both complex and relatable at times.

In 2022, Kendrick Lamar made a triumphant comeback, delivering a muddled masterpiece and overshadowing the success of his album Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers for the majority of the year.
Pusha T also made a splash, demonstrating the advancement of his coke-filled lexicon.
JID also emerged from hiding, releasing a well-liked album with great features and becoming a rap superstar.
NBA YoungBoy made the most of his freedom by releasing a plethora of high caliber projects and features that were reminiscent of early Gucci Mane.
While J. Cole didn’t even need to release a solo album because of the quality of his collaboration albums and featured appearances.
Only one can hold the title after all these rappers barricaded themselves and demonstrated that they were the best at it.

J. COLE
It’s impressive how relevant J. Cole can keep his name throughout the year without releasing solo music.

Cole has been focused on his Dreamville brand, pushing acts like Cozz, Bas, Ari Lennox, and EarthGang.
Cole has been the master of a surprise this year, dropping a Gangsta Grillz tape with DJ Drama and the rest of his Dreamville collective, D-Day.
He also delivered some of the best features of the year on BIA’s “London,” Smino’s “90 Proof”, and “Johnny P’s Caddy” with Benny the Butcher. It’s safe to say since last year’s The Off Season, Cole’s rapping has entered a second prime.
JID
Watching and listening to JID rap is a spectacle.
While he’s charismatic on the mic, exhibiting speed in his delivery; his flow is focused, making his raps clairvoyant.
What makes JID exceptionally fun is his knack for quick, flipping wordplay in the middle of his linguistic gymnastics.
The Forever Story comes four years after the fan-beloved DiCaprio 2, and it’s JID’s most complete project to date.
The project returns to the days of full LPs sequenced in a way where front-to-back listening is preferred.
It’s a body of work meant to stand the test of time in an era where music has become disposable.
He also held his own with features alongside J. Cole, EarthGang, Denzel Curry and Mike Dimes, proving to fans that he was worth waiting for.
