RSD '23 Genres: HIP-HOP

So, are we going to eventually re-name “pop” music? The genre is based on era, right? If you’ve turned on the radio to a Top Hits station in the past five years, you know just as well as the next guy that hip-hop has been dominating the airwaves for the pop title. We have some unassuming artists on the peak of this year’s Record Store Day list, and here they are!
