2014 nappyafro Awards: Rappers of the Year

Drake

3. Drake
Album in 2014: N/A ~ Notable Song: “0 To 100/The Catch Up”

Looking at his positioning you would think Drake dropped an album this year, but in reality he didn’t drop much new music. When he did though, it stuck. “0-100” was released to the world for free, but it may have been the summer anthem along with Big Sean’s “IDFWU”. Drizzy also hopped on a plethora of songs as a guest that dominated the radio (“Tuesday”, “Believe Me”, and Who Do You Love). On top of all of that, this year Drake passed the Beatles with 72 entries on the Hot 100. That’s one hell of a year. – DuB
