LiveXLive and TikTok's virtual festival ”Music Lives” is set to including performances from over 35 artists.

So much rap music comes out all the time, and especially with frequent surprise releases, it can be hard to keep track of it all. To help keep up with it all, here are 11 rap albums we highly recommend from last month...

Myke Towers, Sech, Duki, Jowel & Randy, and more also feature.

Plus: Elvis Costello, Mary J Blige/Nas, Agnostic Front/Prong, Jenny Lewis, Jason Isbell, Cher, Thom Yorke, New Order, and more tour news.

Here's all the hip hop we posted on BV this week, including Ty Dolla $ign, YG, Flying Lotus, Beast Coast, Denzel Curry, Chris Crack, Open Mike Eagle with Method Man, Young Thug, and more.

Listen to new songs from Julien Baker, Mannequin Pussy, Ty Dolla Sign / J. Cole, Jakob Dylan & Regina Spektor, Wild Beasts' Hayden Thorpe, Gauche, Le Superhomard, LIngua Ignota, and more.

Pandora's year-end charts also include the top rock songs, top hip hop songs, top R&B songs, top Latin songs, top dance/electronic songs, and top country songs of 2018.

As usual, the list is heavy on rap and R&B, but there's some other stuff in there too, like Phoebe Bridgers at #2!
