The Top 25 Hip-Hop Albums of 2024

— We are officially in 2025, but before we get settled in, let’s take a look back at the Top 25 Hip-Hop Albums that were released in 2024!

2024 was incredible year for Hip-Hop in more ways than one including historic beefs, insane scandals, and classic moments. Still, the music will always come first and with this year musically being one of the greatest years in recent memory, it’s only right that we properly highlight and appreciate the incredible work that was published this year by Hip-Hop artists both old and new. 

Now, while sales, streams, chart rankings, and cultural influence do play a part in the selection process of most year-end lists, here at Larimar Media we actually listen to the music. Because of this, lesser known artists with top-tier projects could very well see themselves atop our rankings.
