  • 5 Childish Gambino - This Is America in 2018, Donald Glover Released Possibly His Most Powerful Song Ever Under His Rap Alias “Childish Gambino”
    #5 Childish Gambino - This Is America In 2018, Donald Glover released possibly his most powerful song ever under his rap alias “Childish Gambino”. The song titled “This Is America”, pulls the curtains back on society, and how we use social media trends to block the terrifying reality of the world we live in. It’s music video has several scenes of symbolism, including gun violence and racism. Despite it’s meaningful message, the video only has about 460,000,000 views on YouTube, which may be due to it not being a “club song”. #4 Lil Dicky - Freaky Friday A personal favorite of mine, Lil Dicky’s hit “Freaky Friday” features talented singer Chris Brown, who switches bodies with Lil Dicky, similar to the classic blockbuster “Freaky Friday”. It is Lil Dicky’s newest song since his last project, an EP released back in September of 2017 under a side alias “Brain”. The music video has over 465,000,000 views on YouTube, with cameos from celebrities such as Ed Sheeran, DJ Khaled and even Kendall Jenner as well. #3 Travis Scott - Sicko Mode The most popular song off of Travis Scott’s album “Astroworld”, is a track which features Drake, titled “Sicko Mode”. Both artists talk about the level that they are at mentally now that they are at this level of popularity, they are truly in Sicko Mode. The music video has almost 180,000,000 views on YouTube and has been streamed over 460,000,000 times on Spotify. #2 Cardi B - I Like It In May of 2018, Female rapper Cardi B released the track “I Like It”, a single off her newest album “Invasion of Privacy”.The song features Bad Bunny & J Balvin who accompany Cardi with lyrics having a similar theme to hers, enjoying the luxurious that come with being wealthy.
