Jay-Z's Favorite Songs Of The Year List Included DaBaby, Megan Thee Stallion, And More

Since Jay-Z is arguably the ideal rapper alive, it only makes sense that he keeps his ear to the streets. He's released a new TIDAL playlist, Jay-Z's Year End Picks 2019, that contains his preference songs of the year. With picks from traditional industry vets and newcomers across rap, reggae, R&B, and afrobeat genres, Jay-Z shows that no matter how mysterious he might seem since he's rarely in the public's eye, he's always listening.


It's hard to pinpoint exactly who Jay-Z's preference artist is now, aside from his legendary partner, Beyoncé, who appears here with "Already" which features Shatta Wale and Major Lazer. Jay-Z's list is vast and varied. Solange's "Binz" is listed and also DaBaby's "Suge" after it. Rising R&B singer Snoh Aalegra's "Here Right now (Intro)" makes a surprise appearance as well as Denzel Curry's "Ricky." Megan Thee Stallion's money Shit" (which features DaBaby) also made the list and also his protege of sorts, J. Cole, thanks to his smash single, "Middle Child."


Burna Males afrobeat tune, "Collateral Damage," and Koffee's reggae jam, "Toast," are other indicators of Jay-Z's wide tastes. We can't even imagine just how good his Best Of The Decade list would be.
