From NBA YoungBoy’s hard-hitting bangers to Lil Baby’s polished flows and Future & Drake’s melodic magic, these are the top 5 hip-hop songs trending on US Apple Music this week.

TOP 5

5. What You Is — NBA YoungBoy & Mellow Rackz

“What You Is” pairs NBA YoungBoy’s aggressive, in-your-face delivery with Mellow Rackz’s commanding presence, resulting in a track that’s as vibrant as it is attitude-packed. The duo trade bars loaded with flexing, bravado, and straight-up confrontational energy over a beat that’s both bouncy and menacing. The result is a dynamic, high-energy listen that keeps you locked in from start to finish.

4. WAIT FOR U — Future & Drake

Don’t you miss Future and Drake’s chemistry? On “WAIT FOR U,” a melodic, introspective track anchored by Tems’ ethereal vocals, their synergy feels as sharp and seamless as ever. It’s a modern toxic love anthem — a blend of heartbreak, longing, and quiet surrender. Future glides through with a weary, vulnerable honesty, while Drake delivers his trademark emotional precision. The whole record thrives on its soft, moody, sweeping atmosphere, cementing it as one of the standout collaborations from their long-running partnership that now seems to be over.

3. In a Minute — Lil Baby

This might be our favorite Lil Baby track to date. On “In a Minute,” he showcases a fully evolved version of that signature grind. Built on the famously chilled-out production borrowed from Drake and Jay-Z’s “Pound Cake,” the beat gives Baby all the space he needs to unleash a hunger that even an all-you-can-eat buffet couldn’t satisfy. The song plays like a blend of reflection and victory lap, with Baby touching on success, responsibility, and the heavy pressure that comes with sitting at the top.

2. Freestyle — Lil Baby

Lil Baby’s “Freestyle” remains one of his defining moments — a track that feels like lightning in a bottle. Even years after its release, it’s still circulating as one of his most authentic, hungry performances. Baby’s flow is relentless, sliding over the beat with urgency and clarity. The track thrives on its spontaneity, which is exactly why fans still run it back: it captures Lil Baby before superstardom, rapping with an edge that can’t be replicated.

1. Shot Callin — NBA YoungBoy

NBA YoungBoy’s “Shot Callin” is the undeniable standout from his wildly successful MASA project. Gliding over a hard, haunting beat, he mixes intensity with a slick, almost mischievous cool—talking his s**t about beating the odds (and a few opps), stacking serious money, and draping himself in the finest. It’s a record that perfectly captures why YoungBoy remains one of rap’s most unpredictable, magnetic forces.
