rap singer Logos and Brands
Artists who combine rap delivery with vocal parts are featured in the Rap Singer section, reflecting the trend toward blurring the lines between singing and recitative in contemporary hip-hop. Drake, Post Malone, Juice WRLD, and other artists of the new generation have built their careers on switching between melody and recitative, and their personal logos convey this duality. The section captures a shift in the rap industry that occurred in the 2010s, when melodic hip-hop replaced hard-hitting rapping at the top of the charts. The artists’ emblems in this section reflect their belonging to a generation for whom rap and singing are no longer mutually exclusive.
