10 Hottest Rap Singles Of The Summer

G.O.O.D. Music dominated the radio and charts with their single "Mercy". Although their "Cruel Summer" compilation didn't live up to the hype, it's full of radio friendly songs.

2 Chainz was the hottest rapper of 2012 and his single "No Lie" featuring Drake crushed the radio, clubs, and internet. "Based On A T.R.U. Story" in stores now.

Chief Keef and Young Chop didn't like G.O.O.D. Music's rendition of their single "I Don't Like", but you can't deny the presence it had this summer on your local radio station.

Rick Ross' "Hold Me Back" had to grow on us, but is currently one of the hottest songs off his "God Forgives I Don't" album. I look in my fridge, my sh*t looking scarce!

2 Chainz and Kanye West made a lot of music this summer and his second single "Birthday Song" is just as popular as "No Lie". I'm sure we all want a big booty girl after listening to this joint.

Kendrick Lamar has grown into a beast over the last three years and his second single "Swimming Pools (Drank)" killed the internet and radio this summer. His highly anticipated album "Good Kid, m.A.A.d City" is due out October 22nd.

French Montana's single "Pop That" featuring Rick Ross, Drake, and Lil Wayne is still on the rise, but definitely popular on the radio and club scene. What you working with!

Slaughterhouse finally released their Shady debut and "Hammer Dance" is an infectious track you can't help but nod your head to. The super lyrical crew managed to keep it street and club at the same time.

Lupe dropped his introspective single "Bitch Bad" and it immediately caught the internet's ears. The video is equally dope. Food & Liquor 2 isn't doing so well, but it's definitely an album you should pick up.
