Releases by hip-hop artists crossword clue
16 Across · WSJ Crossword, October 4, 2026 · 9 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Releases by hip-hop artists” is RAPALBUMS. It appears as 16 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of October 4, 2026, a Sunday puzzle titled “Circle of Friends” by Zhouqin Burnikel, and it fills 9 squares running left to right from row 3, column 1 of the 15×15 grid.
A plural clue takes a plural answer, which is why the entry ends in S. The entry begins with R and ends with S, and contains 3 vowels and 6 consonants. If you are working from the crossings, two or three confirmed letters from the Down entries should be enough to lock it in. Weekend puzzles follow the same conventions as the weekday grids, pitched a notch above midweek, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
