These Are the Best Emo Hip-Hop Songs Of The Last 5 Years! Emo rap is music whose lyrics are biased on an emotional and confessional subject matter from breakups to suicide.
Over the last 5 years, artists like Juice Wrld, XXXTentacion, Lil Peep and Tripple Redd have helped in its growth. Thanks to the artists, the sub-genre is now a common sound sometimes merging hip-hop and rock music.
Back in 2017, “XO Tour Llif3” by Lil Uzi Vert became a Billboard Hot 100 top ten charting hit. In the song, Lil Uzi sings about dead friends.
