Kendrick Lamar has been one of hip-hop's most preeminent voices over the past decade, but he’s also been commercially successful as well.

According to Chart Data, the Compton rapper’s Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers was recently dubbed the crown of being Spotify’s most streamed rap album of 2022 with 1.4 billion streams on Spotify.

The Top 5 also included NAV’s Demons Protected by Angels, Jack Harlow’s Come Home The Kids Miss You, Drake and 21 Savage’s Her Loss and Future’s I NEVER LIKED YOU.

Chart Data’s rankings include lifetime streams for projects with a 2022 release date.

In August 2022, K Dot’s fifth solo studio album became the first Hip Hop album to cross the billion stream mark, so the new distinction is not relatively a surprise.

Kendrick Lamar’s Big Steppers dropped last May and was his first LP release since 2017’s DAMN. At the time, he earned the seventh most first-week sales in 2022, posting a first-week total of 296,000 units sold.
