    Kendrick Lamar continues to solidify his legacy as one of hip-hop’s greatest, recently being crowned Apple Music’s Rap Artist of the Year for 2024.

    This accolade follows his 2025 Grammy nominations in four major categories: Song of the Year, Record of the Year, Rap Record of the Year, and Rap Performance of the Year.

    A pivotal moment in Kendrick’s 2024 dominance was his high-profile rap beef with Drake, which captivated fans worldwide and yielded monumental tracks from both artists.

    Kendrick’s ‘Not Like Us‘ emerged as a cultural juggernaut, topping the Billboard Hot 100 and shattering streaming records.

    While Kendrick’s artistry earned him widespread acclaim, some fans believe Future, who delivered three Billboard 200-topping albums in the year, should have taken the Apple Music crown. However, Kendrick’s influence, Grammy recognition, and the cultural impact of his music outweighed the competition.

    This year has been a defining one for Kendrick Lamar, cementing his reputation as a transformative force in rap and music as a whole.
