The list was put together by Carl Chery, Spotify’s Creative Director and Head of Urban Music, and its Hip Hop editorial team to provide “a snapshot of Hip Hop during the streaming era.”
“The criteria for the list are based on quality, impact, replay value, influence, and cultural significance,” Spotify wrote.
