GloRilla Big Boogie & More: Meet the Top 10 Rappers Putting Memphis on the Map
Source: Prince Williams / Getty Memphis has always marched to the beat of its own 808. Gritty, raw, and unapologetically Southern, the city's rap scene has quietly — and now loudly — shifted the culture. What started as underground tapes and basement studio sessions has turned into Billboard hits, viral moments, and Grammy wins. But beyond the accolades, what truly sets Memphis rappers apart is their authenticity. They rap like they've lived every word. Pain, loyalty, betrayal, survival — these themes aren't just lyrics; they're lived experiences. The city produces artists who don't chase trends; they build movements. Their sound is heavy on bass, sharp with cadence, and always rooted in storytelling. Whether it's a street anthem or a club banger, there's a depth that hits harder because it comes from a real place. One of the most powerful forces in the city's rap rise is emotion. These rappers aren't afraid to show vulnerability, whether through tales of losing friends, navigating fame, or striving to break generational curses. The balance of toughness and tenderness, trap beats and trauma unpacked, makes Memphis music hit different. And it's not just the guys. The women coming out of Memphis are rewriting the rules too — bold, brash, and brilliantly lyrical. Together, this new wave of talent is defining the sound of the South for a new generation.

The king of consistency. From 'Down in the DM' to CMG empire-building, Gotti is the business and the bars. Independent legend. His hustle, leadership, and loyalty to Memphis made him a beloved figure before his tragic passing. Street-certified with mainstream reach, Moneybagg brings emotion and heat on every project. Glock holds it down for Paper Route Empire. Stylish, flashy, and sharp with the pen. The breakout star of 2022-2023. Her voice, confidence, and anthems like 'F.N.F.' made her a national name. A true OG. His laid-back delivery, wild stories, and unforgettable flow helped define Memphis rap in the 2000s. Raw emotion, pain music, and undeniable stage presence — Boogie is the voice of the trenches right now. Crunk ain't dead! Duke brought energy and dance-heavy Memphis vibes back with a vengeance. Young, spiritual, and explosive. Choppa's evolution from viral teen rapper to conscious lyricist shows his growth. Black America Web Featured Video CLOSE

Wisconsin football makes final schools for class of 2026 edge defender Prince Williams
Wisconsin football makes final schools for class of 2026 edge defender Prince Williams I would like to give all praise to my Heavenly Father for blessing me and my family with numerous opportunities! With that being said, I will be finding my home July 4th, let's go!@BishopGormanFB @BlairAngulo @adamgorney @GregBiggins @ChadSimmons_ @BrandonHuffman — Prince Williams (@princehwilliams) May 9, 2025 Wisconsin football made the top five for class of 2026 edge defender Prince Williams on Thursday. The program was included with Miami, BYU, Arizona and Utah. 247Sports lists Williams as a three-star recruit. It specifically ranks him as the No. 559 overall player in the class of 2026, the No. 51 edge defender and the No. 3 recruit from his home state of Nevada. Those top five schools emerged from an offer sheet that also includes Arizona State, Cal, Florida, Iowa State, Tennessee, UCLA and Washington. As of May 9, Williams does not have any official visits scheduled. That is sure to change in the coming weeks, with each school's June visit schedule fast approaching. 247Sports has yet to release a prediction for the 6-foot-3 edge defender's commitment decision, while On3 lists Miami as the prohibitive favorite at 69.8% and no other program above 10%. Wisconsin's class of 2026 still ranks No. 43 nationally with six players committed. Three-star Carmelow Reed is the group's only defensive lineman/edge defender. More than one full week into May, the program is still looking for its first blue-chip addition to the class.
