Juno Award for Rap Single of the Year
The Juno Award for Rap Single of the Year is an annual Canadian music award, presented by the Juno Awards to honour songs by Canadian hip hop artists. Announced at the Juno Awards of 2021, it was presented for the first time at the Juno Awards of 2022.[1]
The award is presented alongside a category for Rap Album or EP of the Year.
Until 2022, albums and individual songs were considered together under the single Rap Recording of the Year category.[2] The changes were announced to coincide with the 30th anniversary of the creation of the Junos rap category.[3]
