We are SudetyRaport, Your favorite rap plug, and we welcome you to our massive list of the TOP 100 Best Rap Albums of 2025. You may be wondering why we are releasing the list with a slight delay. The answer is simple: we didn’t want to rush anything. We listened to hundreds of albums released last year (yes, really hundreds), from which we carefully selected the 100 best. We always strive to dive deep into the genre and explore all corners of rap. Throughout the year, we give a chance to underground artists, rap stars who top the charts, and complete newcomers. Before compiling the list, we listened again to all the albums that impressed us the most this year. We listened to both the most famous albums and the ones you sent us in DMs. Choosing only a hundred albums was really difficult. We could easily expand the list to two hundred projects, and they would still be absolutely top-notch albums. You’ll find both LPs and shorter projects in the list. When compiling the list, we had only one rule—each rapper can only have one album in the list, unless it is a collaboration with another rapper. This restriction does not apply to producers. We won’t keep you waiting any longer, let’s dive into the depths of the best rap. Peace.
Sunmundi & Sasco – Contacting [a late-stage internet memento]
In the essay Sunmundi & Sasco – Contacting [a late-stage internet memento], we analyze the album Contacting, its dystopian bleak vision woven with postmodern digital skepticism and tears shed over a commodified society. [contacting à communication à community]: finding strength and love through human connection. “A disservice to death’s orbit and a wine-spilling smile aimed at the bright now.”

Ye as the headliner is not a victory for culture; on the contrary, it denies the very essence of the genre and is a result of its misunderstanding rooted in privilege. True heroism and the defense of free speech should be seen as resisting empires, opposing wars, defending human rights, and promoting social change—these are the radical tendencies we should celebrate in rap.
Kendrick Lamar vs. Drake as a story of exploitation, aka how to discuss rap
Kendrick Lamar vs. Drake. Even though the rap genre offered plenty of memorable moments last year, it would be hard to find a more significant event than the beef between two of the biggest rappers of our time, Drake and Kendrick Lamar. A rap beef can be defined as a dispute between rappers who create songs whose main purpose is to verbally attack each other. This beef has been closely watched by the entire music scene and was at the birth of the most notable rap songs of last year. It can be read on many levels, but at its core we find a powerful story of exploitation and colonialism, a war for the very soul of rap culture that should make us think about how to discuss rap.
