Lil Wayne
Lil Wayne
New Orleans, USHip Hop
43.1bn all-time streams (29 Jul '26)
Lil Wayne began his career as a near-novelty, a preteen delivering hardcore Southern hip-hop.
Through years of maturation and prolific output, during which the delivery of his humorous and wordplay-heavy rhymes gradually changed from ringing and pugnacious to stoned and rasped, he developed into a million-unit-selling artist with a massive body of work, one so inventive and cunning that it makes his claim of being the "best rapper alive" worth considering.
