It also has over 13 million follows, if that doesn’t sell you on it enough. Their description: “Music from Drake, Polo G, and Lil Tecca.” It used to be better, I think a while ago it said something like “The freshest rap tracks out today.” Basically it’s a collection of the newest rap songs, but it isn’t mainstream in the slightest, it’s always including new, breakout artists and more experimental (yet nonetheless successful) songs in the rap world.

Notable artists include: Tame Impala, Joey Bada$$, Mac Demarco, Goth Babe, A$AP Rocky. You can put this playlist on and you won’t have to skip a single song.

They personalize the h*ll out of your profile (is it creepy sometimes? Maybe) whether it’s suggested songs for playlists, or the whole Made For You section where they give you three personalized playlists based off of your listening history in the past week, or the annual Year In Review where they take all your listening data and quantify it into categories like Top Artists, Top Song, Top Genre, etc. It’s like an overbearing helicopter parent.

Like a celebrity sharing bits of their personal lives on Twitter and Instagram, artists are giving you the illusion of access by acting as a curator. Instead, they’ve accepted that not only are these services – the aforementioned Spotify and Tidal, but also Apple Music and Amazon Music and Google Play – the primary way most consumers listen to music now, but it would benefit them to be active participants within the medium.
