Which Rapper Has the Most Unreleased Songs? (Live Count)

“How many unreleased songs does he have?” is the question people ask about every artist with a vault. Here is the answer for all of them at once: every artist on unreleased.world — rappers and everyone else — ranked by the unreleased songs you can actually stream, counted from the catalogue and refreshed every hour. Between them, the 434 artists on the site hold 91,589 unreleased songs.

The biggest unreleased vaults, counted live

The rest — every artist on the site, with their count — are on the A–Z list of every artist.

Where the biggest vaults come from

The same few habits show up at the top of the ranking again and again:

• Decades of work. The Kanye West vault spans every album cycle since before The College Dropout, each with sessions of its own.
• Recording far more than an album holds. Lil Uzi Vert, Young Thug and Juice WRLD each have eras that run to well over a hundred songs.
• Albums rebuilt before release. Playboi Carti's Whole Lotta Red and Trippie Redd's later albums are filed version by version, so every draft that surfaced has an era of its own.
• Whole scenes of collectors. The Opium vaults — Destroy Lonely, Ken Carson, Homixide Gang — and neighbours like Yeat and Osamason are documented song by song by the fans who follow them.

The fullest explanation of how one artist ends up with so much unreleased music is the answer to why Playboi Carti has so many unreleased songs, which walks through each cause with his numbers.
