Life is too short to listen to bad music. So…let AFH fight through it for you and only supply you with that great stuff. Despite the reports, Hip-Hop is alive and well and, in many ways, is better than it’s ever been. Not only are we able to go back and listen to all of our favorites, at the click of a button, there is also a ton of great music still being made by artists, young and veteran alike…if you know where to look.

To help with that task, we’ve created two playlists. One features more recent music—songs that have been released within the last year or so—while the other is throwback, focused on the 1980s and ’90s. We update each of these playlists regularly, so, if you like what you hear, subscribe to follow us on Spotify.

This Throwback Playlist Celebrates The Hip-Hop That Is Never Played-Out. (Audio)

For years, Redman has been seen as an honorary member of Wu-Tang Clan. In fact, Wu Killer Bee Method Man has made nearly as much music with Red as he has with the Clan. Now, Red joins the Clan on a new track titled “People Say,” that was executive produced by RZA and which features Meth, Raekwon and other Wu brethren. No details have emerged yet about whether the song is part of a forthcoming Wu-Tang Clan project, but, for the last year, RZA has insisted that, if there is to be another Wu-Tang album, it will be in the hands of Ghostface Killah. Ghost’s lack of appearance on the song and RZA’s executive producer status suggest that this may not be part of that eventual project, but only time will tell.

In addition to new Wu-Tang Clan & Redman, the playlist has been updated with highlights from Saba, The Roots, Vince Staples and Action Bronson. Together, these artists join Sean Price, Jay Rock, Kendrick Lamar, Logic, Nas, Joey Bada$$, Evidence, J. Cole, Oddisee, XXXtentacion, Big Sean, Freddie Gibbs, Raekwon, Vic Mensa, David Banner, Tyler, The Creator, Meek Mill, Jidenna and a host of others.
