Rap-wise, 2017is off to a slow start. Migos dropped their highly anticipated sophomore studio album Culture, but none of the individual verses stood out as a clear winner for Best Rap Verse of the Month. Offset and Quavo each showed out on "Bad and Boujee," but that dropped back in October of last year. That left two standout picks for January. Oddisee's first verse on "Like Really," off his forthcoming project The Iceberg, was my first pick. The DC rapper is underrated in every sense of the word and has been one of the most consistent cats to put it down, year in and year out.
Rick Ross, however, came through with a banger of a verse sandwiched between Lupe and Big K.R.I.T. on the newly-released "Tranquillo." I love when Renzel gets on his bottom to the top shit. A lot of reflection and pain in his offering, which always wins me over. The Best Rap Verse of January 2017 goes to the Boss.
