Why you should check it out: Despite the amazing year Chance the Rapper had in 2016, part of me still wants to see the award for "Best Rap Performance" to go to ScHoolboy Q and Kanye for "That Part." It's not easy to let Kanye on a song and keep it your own, but Q pulls it off with impressive ease.
推荐理由：虽然Chance the Rapper 2016年的表现非常惊艳，但是我仍然希望ScHoolboy Q和侃爷凭借《That Part》获得“最佳说唱歌手”。让侃爷出现在一首歌中，还能够保持自己的风格很难，但ScHoolboy Q轻而易举地做到了。
