2024 has erupted like World War III for hip-hop. Katt Williams set things off with his revealing Club Shay Shay interview, exposing industry secrets and sparking a wave of confrontations. We witnessed an epic rap battle between Kendrick Lamar and Drake, triggering a chain reaction of disses. Our list features major tracks not only from rap but also from dancehall and R&B. This year has been a free-for-all, with no one safe from the shots being fired. Here’s a list of the hardest diss tracks of 2024 so far.
Steflon Don - #DeadGyalWalking (Jada Kingdom Diss)
At the start of the year, Stefflon Don and Jada Kingdom went head-to-head in a clash that sparked the first lyrical feud of 2024. "#DeadGyalWalking" is Stefflon Don's best response among the three tracks she released targeting Jada Kingdom. Initiating the feud by calling out Jada Kingdom and then countering her with this track, it became the biggest clash in dancehall in a long time.
Jada Kingdom - London Bed (Steflon Don Diss)
Jada Kingdom has a history of controversial headlines, but when it comes to being an all-around artist who can sing, rap, and write, she truly shines. Her first track, "London Bed," was a direct hit aimed at Stefflon Don. The song even sampled Burna Boy mentioning Stefflon's name, which added fuel to the fire, given the rumors that Burna Boy is dating Stefflon Don.
Nicki Minaj - Big Foot (Megan Thee Stallion Diss)
Nicki wasted no time in responding to the indirect shots aimed at her on Megan's track "Hiss." This swift clap back from the queen was unmistakably a warning shot, evident in her playful tone and flow. As of now, Megan has yet to release a track directly aimed at Nicki.
Big Sad 1900 - Zesty Cream Pie (DW Flame, Wack 100, SixHunnet, Bricc Baby)
Big Sad is undeniably one of the most prominent rising rappers from LA. As he continues his ascent, there are many attempting to tarnish his reputation due to his growing influence in the industry. However, some may not appreciate the message he embodies. This track was inspired by footage showing Big Sad cooperating with the police.
DW Flame - 1900 BC (BIG SAD 1900 Diss)
The feud between these artists began with words exchanged on social media and quickly escalated to the release of diss tracks. As one of the most prominent names in Los Angeles rap, Big Sad 1900 seemed to have the upper hand, while DW Flame was viewed as the underdog. Flame made a bold move by recording a diss track and shooting the music video in Big Sad's neighborhood.
Chris Brown - Weakest Link (Quavo Diss)
Amidst the Drake and Kendrick frenzy, Chris Brown unexpectedly dropped a track where he raps and disses Quavo. Based on the lyrics from both artists, the feud appears to stem from infidelity involving women they both have dated. The track, titled "Weakest Link," suggests that Quavo is the least favored member of Migos.
Quavo - OHB (Chris Brown Diss)
In response to Chris Brown's "Weakest Link," Quavo fired back with a verse from his late nephew Takeoff (RIP). The track's title hints at the core of their beef, making it one of the hardest-hitting songs in their feud.
Sukihana - Cocaine (JT Diss)
JT took a shot at Sukihana on her latest single, "Okay," and followed up with jabs on social media. Sukihana quickly responded with a ferocious track, clowning JT and amassing a million views on YouTube within two weeks. Overall, it’s a solid diss track.
Rick Ross - Champagne Moments
Rick Ross wasted no time responding after being dissed in Drake's track "Push Ups." Ross coined the term "BBL Drizzy" on his response track, where he accuses Drake of having plastic surgery and claims he sent a cease-and-desist order to French Montana, who was once his signee.
Metro Boomin x Future - Like That ft Kendrick Lamar (Drake x J Cole Diss)
This is the song that ignited the biggest rap feud we've ever seen between two of the greatest rappers. Kendrick responded to Drake's "First Person Shooter," and all hell broke loose, throwing the rap game into a frenzy ever since.
Drake - Push Ups (Kendrick Lamar, The Weeknd, Metro Boomin Diss)
This marked Drake's initial shot fired at Kendrick, signaling the beginning of a declared war. You've got to hand it to the 6 God; he never shies away from a rap beef.
Kendrick Lamar - Euphoria (Drake Diss)
"Euphoria" was the long-awaited smoke that Drake had been seeking; he knocked on the Boogie Man's door and got what he asked for. Initially, Kendrick took over a week to respond, leaving people doubting whether he would reply at all.
Drake - Family Matters (Kendrick Lamar, The Weeknd, Asap Rocky, Rick Ross Diss)
This track was Drake's nuclear strike: a fiery seven-minute composition featuring three beat switches and psychological warfare aimed at dismantling a relationship. It was a meticulously calculated effort by Drake, who spared no expense to produce a video involving the destruction of the van depicted on the cover of GKMC.
Kendrick Lamar - Meet The Grahams (Drake Diss)
This marked the quickest response to a diss track in rap history. Within just one hour of Drake's "Nuke" called "Family Matter," Kendrick struck back with "Meet The Grahams," swiftly dismantling any momentum Drake hoped to build. It was undeniably one of the most electrifying moves in rap battle history, as Kendrick promptly hijacked the narrative from one of the biggest and best-selling rap artists ever. A master class in lyrical warfare, it stands as a contender for one of the most disrespectful diss tracks of all time.
