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)

Eminem season is upon us. Today (November 10), Eminem releases the first single, “Walk On Water,” from his ninth album, Revival. The apparent third in a trilogy (see: 2009’s Relapse and 2010’s Recovery), the upcoming LP finds the Detroit, Michigan Rap superstar looking back at his catalog, just as he did on last album, 2013’s The Marshall Mathers LP2. Having already asserted himself as a “Rap God” on that campaign, “Walk On Water” backs away from the claim in a major way. In a song featuring a tender performance from Beyoncé, Em lists all the doubts and insecurities that have amassed after a career of more than 20 years of seemingly impossible expectations. In articulating why he’s only human, Em shows exactly why he is truly extraordinary. Later this month, Em’ will be the musical guest on SNL‘s November 18 episode. Chance The Rapper will host.

In addition to Eminem’s revival, the playlist features past collaborators of his including Kendrick Lamar, B.o.B., Snoop Dogg, and Drake. Other highlights feature Wu-Tang Clan, Rapsody, Big K.R.I.T., and Freddie Gibbs. Together, these artists join Oddisee, Mozzy, Elzhi, J.I.D., Brother Ali, Lil Dicky, D’Angelo, Logic, The Roots, Saukrates, Vic Mensa, Common, Sean Price, and a host of others.
