rap hit

Hip-hop radio staple

A rap hit is a commercially successful hip-hop song—one that charts well, gets heavy radio play, or dominates streaming platforms.

The term combines the music genre with the general sense of hit as a popular success: Their debut album produced three rap hits.

Like any hit, it implies broad appeal beyond core fans.
