The Rap Life playlist is home to hip-hop’s heavy hitters and its vanguard, which means that the Rap Life DJ mix has everything in hip-hop you need to hear right now. This month, the mix was put together by one of the most sought-after hip-hop producers of the past decade, Murda Beatz. Now, the Canadian-born, LA-based maestro could have limited the songs he included to ones that include that infamous “Murda on the beat so it’s not nice” producer tag, which of course include era-defining slaps from Drake, Gucci Mane, Travis Scott, and Migos (don’t worry, those are here too), but as a man of principle, he knew he couldn’t stop there. “I put together a bunch of songs I’m listening to [right now] and [others I’ve] released over the years,” he tells Apple Music. “I also wanted to put some of my friends and people who inspire me on there.” The Rap Life DJ mix is the culture in action, so enjoy this set and check back each month for more one-of-a-kind mixes.
