"JUNKY”

As an openly gay man, Abstract often talks about his sexuality in his verses. While he sometimes discusses the trials he's faced because of the world's perceptions of gay men, he takes a more self-reliant approach in "JUNKY." Rather than emphasising the pitfalls of embracing a non-hetero identity, he declares that he's going to keep rapping about being gay to be a beacon of hope for others who can relate to him. My favourite lines, you ask? "I say sh*t when I rap and y'all n*ggas barely listen / I do the most for the culture, n*gga, by just existing."

Honourable mention: Champion because his denunciation of misogyny is something everyone needs to take note of, especially those in the music industry.
