Description

Luther by Kendrick Lamar and SZA's departure from the Billboard Hot 100's top forty marks the end of Hip-Hop's 3.5-decade streak, as the genre's presence in the top tier has significantly dwindled. With only 24% of the market share, the highest rap song currently at number 44, and no major releases from top artists like Drake and Kendrick Lamar, the charts are wide open for a new rap star to rise.
