The genre has been shaped by visionaries like Kendrick Lamar, Tyler the Creator, Childish Gambino, Denzel Curry, and Noname who push rap into genuinely new territory, whose work defines what alternative rap can sound and feel like. Whether the genre has centuries of tradition behind it or only emerged in recent decades, the artists on this chart are its current standard-bearers.
