Cole is one of the most handsome men in the rap game, and he says this track isn’t just about love for a woman—it’s also a love song to hip-hop.

Trevor Daniel – Falling (Official Music Video)

Trevor Daniel is an artist who has gained popularity with a musical style that mixes pop music and R&B, adding elements of hip-hop.

He’s not hip-hop enough to be called a rapper, but not pop enough to be simply labeled pop, which is why we picked him this time.

His love song “Falling” showcases a stylish melody perfectly matched with lyrics that poignantly depict a man’s aching feelings as he continues to pursue a woman—a true masterpiece.

Joey Bada$$ – “Devastated” (Official Music Video)

Joey Bada$$, a rapper from Brooklyn, first gained popularity through YouTube in 2010, and even at the time of his debut he made waves with a fully formed style.

Now in his late twenties, he continues to attract massive props and a strong following.

Among his love songs, the one I especially recommend is Devastated.

Its lyrics paint vivid scenes, and from those scenes alone you can grasp the romantic dynamics of the characters—a work that showcases his lyrical side.

Love Can Be…Vince Staples

Love Can Be…

As you might guess from the hard beat with a house-music vibe, it’s a little different from the typical sweet love song.

The lyrics take a girl’s point of view with lines like “What a letdown,” and that cool, dismissive tone is oddly addictive.

Moneybagg Yo – 123 feat. Blac Youngsta (Official Audio)

Moneybagg Yo, a rapper representing the state of Tennessee.

His style is classic trap music, and every track has outstanding consistency.

He has a strong “thug” image, but he’s actually released love songs as well.

Among his love songs, the one I especially recommend is “123 feat.

Blac Youngsta.” As you can tell from the track and the flow, it portrays a hard-edged man’s approach to love.

It’s a love song that even fans of more masculine tracks can enjoy, so definitely give it a listen.
