On Fridays, a few things are guaranteed around these parts. One, of course, is The Wrap Up: Hip-Hop Wired’s Top 10 Songs Of The Week.
This assortment of records is a worthy mixture of both underground heaters and tunes from some well known artists. With that, listeners can expect a range of sounds, meaning there’s pretty much something for everyone.
We’re particularly proud of what he heard from MCs out of the Northeast, especially New York City. There’s also a few rappers from the South and the West Coast as well if that’s your preference.
Hit the gallery after the jump to hear what this assortment of The Wrap Up holds. And while you’re at it, peep the best videos to release in the past seven days here.

10. GrandeMarshall – “Girls [Still Got] Rhythm”
Producer: GrandeMarshall
This Philly up and comer has an old spirit and some flossy talk to match. As you can see, this cut receives our stamp of approval.
9. Ab-Soul ft. ScHoolboy Q – “Hunnid Stax”
Producer: Kenny Beats
Soulho hasn’t dropped anything that’s wowed us lately, but it’s always ill to hear him collab with his TDE brethren.
8. Maffew Ragazino ft. Fev, Rugz D Bewler, Dub, $lim Dollar$ & Dave East – “Dipset Forever II”
Producer: Foreign Allegiance
Brooklyn’s Ragazino clears the path for some Harlem MCs on the aptly titled “Dipset Forever II.” And who said NYC rap died, again?
7. World’s Fair – “Snow About 10 Feet”
Producer: Black Noi$e
Again, what smart guy said NYC rap was dead?
6. Lil Boosie – “She Want Some”
Producer: N/A
This may be the best Boosie Bad Azz has sounded since rejoining the free world.
5. Puff Daddy ft. Meek Mill – “I Want The Love”
Producer: Young Chop
Few people talk ish like Puffy. But don’t mind if he doesn’t write rhymes, he writes checks, apparently.
4. Joell Ortiz – “0 To 100 (Freestyle)”
Producer: Boi-1da, 40 & Nineteen85
Yaowa! Brooklyn’s own Ortiz has nothing but dope bars to give on Drake’s newest heater.
3. YG & Blanco ft. DB The General – “Block Party”
Producer: Cookin Soul
Compton and California’s Bay Area connect on this tune to make a potential West Coast anthem.
2. Boaz – “Rapness Monster”
Producer: Mac Miller
The Pittsburgh MC’s becoming increasingly impressive with each new release. The wordplay is potent and he has a star’s presence on tracks.
1. GQ ft. Nipsey Hussle & Big Pooh – “Count’em Up”
Producer: 9th Wonder
Jamla is an army, better yet a navy, and one of their own has returned with a heater featuring Neighborhood Nip and Rapper Big Pooh.
