(Go to 2:14 to skip the intro)

2020 was an incredible year for rap music. Rap in 2020 felt like the year of realized potential, best yets, and deep reflection.

My main takeaways from so many albums this year was that the artists in question:

- refined their craft in terms of songwriting, lyrical quality, and album construction; and

- dug deeper into themselves and got more personal, showing new levels of maturity.

To celebrate the end of 2020, I welcome you to tune into the 1st Annual Rap Music Plug Podcast Awards, where we highlight the best of what of this past year had to offer in rap. The categories include:
