Fire Emoji Playlist

Rae Sremmurd’s “Tanisha (Pump That)” Single Arrives On Today’s “Fire Emoji” Playlist Update

by

The weekend is upon us once again, which means it’s finally time for another Fire Emoji update. Last weekend it was Nicki Minaj who earned her flowers thanks to “Red Ruby Da Sleeze.” This time around, we’ve got an impressive roster of mostly male artists who are showing what they have in store for the year with their latest releases.

At the top of our list today (March 11) is T.I. and Kevin Gates’ first-ever joint single. “Active” chiefly finds both artists show off seriously impressive lyricism. It’s likely to appear on the former’s upcoming Kill The King album. This will end his long-running reign as the self-proclaimed “King Of The South,” which he’s been proudly carrying for most of his career.

Following that is another collaborative effort, this one coming from Hunxho and Tee Grizzley. “Uh Huh,” has already made a strong impression on hip-hop heads. Future is another name we’re excited to have on our latest Fire Emoji round-up. The Atlanta native joined Eladio Carrion for the remix of his “Mbappe” song, which landed on DSPs earlier this week.

Our sole female selection comes from Lola Brooke, who’s feeling “So DISRESPECTFUL” on her hot new release. “It’s Gator Season, bitch, go and wait for the next seat / I hate it when a n*gga act overly obsessed with me,” the quickly rising star rhymes on her first drop of 2023. “These hunnids make me feel good / Baby come caress me,” her confident bars continue.

Next up is yet another posthumous release from YSL artist Lil Keed. His “Self Employed” single is nothing short of Fire Emoji worthy. The song is due to appear on the late rapper’s forthcoming album, following last month’s “Long Way To Go.” Artists who will appear on the project include Young Thug, and Big Sean.

Our final two picks of the week are Swizz Beatz’s link up with SAINt JHN, Fivio Foreign, and BIA on “Street Opera,” as well as Rae Sremmurd’s “Tanisha (Pump That).” The former is a part of the Godfather of Harlem soundtrack, while the latter will appear on the dup’s long-awaited SremmLife 4 project. Check it all out exclusively on Spotify below, and share your favourite new release from this weekend in the comments.

Nicki Minaj Proves She’s The Queen Of Rap On Our “Fire Emoji” Playlist

by

Another New Music Friday has come and gone. This means our Fire Emoji playlist is full of hot new singles for your streaming pleasure. Kicking things off on the first update of March is the Queen of Rap herself, Nicki Minaj. The mother of one’s flow was unsurprisingly impressive on “Red Ruby Da Sleeze.“ The track marks her first solo release of 2023.

As far as guest appearances go, the Trinidadian gave her debut verse of the year on Machel Montano and Destra’s “Shake the Place (Remix).” Minaj also made a long-awaited return to her home country’s Carnival festivities last month, putting on a show in her elaborately designed costume. Additionally, Queen Radio heard her dish that she’s launched her own record label, and already has four signees.

NBA YoungBoy is moving as consistently as ever, following his I Rest My Case project with two singles. “Next” and “Demon Party” have both landed over the past week. We’ve given the former a spot on Fire Emoji. Afterward, we hear an unexpected collaboration from J. Cole and j-hope, called “on the street,” which finds the Dreamville leader leaning into his bilingual side.

Speaking of the “No Role Modelz” rapper, his record label was recruited to executive produce the Creed III soundtrack. It landed alongside the move on Friday (March 3), complete with verses from Big Sean, EST Gee, Bas, and many more. Our favourite titles include Cole’s “Adonis Interlude,” as well as “Anthem.”

Holding things down for his home state of Texas is Mike Dimes, whose “HEAVY METAL” single is nothing short of Fire Emoji. The song is due to appear on his upcoming project, which will follow 2022’s IN DIMES WE TRUST. Elsewhere on our playlist, a selection of must-hear collaborations close things out.

Larry June and The Alchemist came together for “89 Earthquake,” and from the former’s Gumbo project, Young Nudy and 21 Savage made magic on “Peaches & Eggplants.” Our final title of the weekend came from a link up between Conway the Machine, and Jae Skeese, which fans are clearly loving already.

Quavo Reminds Us Of His “Greatness” On This Weekend’s “Fire Emoji” Update

by

Our final Fire Emoji playlist update of February has landed, and it’s got some seriously hot tracks. It’s a male-dominated list of releases. Some of them are solo efforts and others are collaborations that are sure to heat up your playlist. Landing at the top of this weekend’s list is a posthumous joint from DMX. He connects with Lil Wayne on “Kant Nobody.”

All this time after his tragic death, the New York MCs legacy continues to live on thanks to Weezy’s upcoming album. His Tha Carter VI campaign began with this new single. It’s sure to continue with even more fire over the coming weeks. Swizz Beatz also helped out with “Kant Nobody,” putting his impressive production skills to great use.

Next, we hear from Quavo, who’s slowly returning to the spotlight following the tragic death of his nephew, Takeoff. On “Greatness,” the former Migos member addressed the gossip regarding the future of the rap group. He makes it clear that without his partner in rhyme, he and Offset couldn’t go on. Still, we do hope to see the family members put aside their differences and make music together in the future.

Chicago’s G Herbo shared his latest, “Raining” on Friday. The father of three chiefly worked with Murda Beatz for the single’s fire production. Additionally, he recruited Yung Bleu to put his R&B magic touch on the track as he prepares to drop off his next album in the coming weeks.

Two noteworthy albums we heard this weekend include Don Toliver’s Love Sick and Yeat’s AftërLyfe. From the former, we selected “Private Landing” featuring Justin Bieber and Future as our title to spotlight. Other guest appearances on the ambitious project come from James Blake, Lil Durk, GloRilla, Kali Uchis, and Brent Faiyaz, just to name a few.

As for the latter, the California native has fans buzzing thanks to yet another collaboration with NBA YoungBoy. After connecting on the Louisana native’s Gangsta Grillz tape last October, they came together once again for “Shmunk.” Additionally, from Key Glock’s highly anticipated Glockoma 2 tape, we picked “Dirt” for your streaming pleasure.

Our final two fire picks of the week are EST Gee’s latest, “Undefeated,” as well as a link-up between Conway the Machine, Sauce Walka, and Juicy J. The trio celebrated the NFL Championship earlier this month with “Super Bowl,” a nearly four-minute-long banger that’s sure to satisfy fans.

Key Glock Puts In “Work” On Our “Fire Emoji” Playlist: Stream

Last Saturday it was NAV leading the way on our Fire Emoji playlist. Today (February 18), we’ve got a fresh roster of new releases for you. It boasts plenty of collaborative efforts and one solo standout. At the very top of our list is the latest from DJ Drama, who worked with Lil Baby and A Boogie Wit da Hoodie on “HO4ME.”

The catchy single is already amassing serious streams on Spotify. It features production from AJ Ruined By Record, Fivecrzy, Kookup, and T Kee. The song is just the latest drop to come from the Gangsta Grillz hitmaker following his recent successful run. Of course, the Generation Now head isn’t planning on slowing down anytime soon. He’s got plenty more music on the way over the coming months.

Next comes a Fire Emoji-worthy title from the latest Fast & Furious film soundtrack. On “Let’s Ride,” YG, The Notorious B.I.G., Bong Thugs-N-Harmony, Lambo4oe, and Ty Dolla $ign all come together. The fun track sets the tone for what’s to come in the highly anticipated movie. It’s due out in theatres later this May.

For his first release of 2023, Polo G teamed up with an industry-heavy hitter. Chicago and Atlanta come together on “No Time Wasted” as the 23-year-old tapped Future to rap alongside him. Presently, the former is putting the finishing touches on his forthcoming project in tandem with Southside. Knowing these two, the album is sure to be full of bangers.

Following that is a posthumous effort from 1017 artist Big Scarr, who tragically passed away as a result of an overdose. The young rhymer’s The Secret Weapon project dropped on Friday (February 17). For our Fire Emoji update, we’ve markedly selected “Trappin n Rappin” featuring Gucci Mane for your consideration.

The sole solo effort to land on the latest edition of our playlist comes from Key Glock. His hot new single finds him chiefly putting in “Work,” even while continuing to mourn the loss of his partner in rhyme, Young Dolph. The PRE artist has been on a roll as of late, and we’re hoping to see his energy bring more releases over the next few months.

Don Toliver has been teasing his next album, and earlier this week he linked up with Lil Durk and GloRilla to give us a taste of what’s to come. “Leave The Club” made its debut on Thursday (February 16), making an impressionable mark on listeners who have been long awaiting the follow-up to 2021’s Life of a DON.

NAV’s “Lately” Single Kicks Off This Weekend’s “Fire Emoji” Update

by

We’ve made it roughly halfway through the coldest season of the year. This is obviously thanks in part to the hot new songs on our Fire Emoji playlist every week. For the first update of February, we paid tribute to Lil Keed with his posthumous “Long Way To Go” single. This weekend, we’ve got something from NAV for your consideration.

The Canadian singer is preparing for the arrival of his NAV 2 project, a follow-up to his 2017 release that solely featured The Weeknd. Along with Friday’s arrival, “Lately,” the 33-year-old is gearing up to head out on tour alongside SoFaygo and RealestK. Additionally, Bryson Tiller will join him for the final concert in Toronto this spring.

Next up on our Fire Emoji radar is Kevin Gates’ surprise “Breakfast” single. The father of two tapped his wife, Dreka Gates to star alongside him in the visual. This caused eyebrows to immediately raise. As you may recall, the lovers seemingly called it quits last summer. However, many are questioning if the split was simply a PR stunt.

Following that is a collaboration between XXL Freshman Babyface Ray and 42 Dugg. The song is called “Ron Artest,” and finds the two lyricists chiefly paying tribute to the Los Angeles Lakers legend throughout their bars. Afterward, we hear from another duo – Young Scooter and EST Gee – on “Come Eat Wit Us.”

The Fire Emoji-worthy releases don’t stop there. Shy Glizzy finally shared his Flowers project on Friday, and several titles from that are already sticking out as fan favourites. For our playlist, we’ve selected “Another Thug Song” and “The Real Is Back,” though we suggest listening to the entire effort when you have the time.

HNHH‘s last recommendation of the day comes from across the pond, where Central Cee dropped his “Me & You” single. It comes in at just over three minutes and marks the perfect bop for celebrating Valentine’s Day with your boo, among other things.

Last weekend, A$AP Rocky made a triumphant return to our Fire Emoji playlist. Now, though, it’s Cordae and Anderson .Paak’s turn to show hip-hop lovers how it’s done.

Their “Two Tens” collaboration landed on streamers earlier this weekend, concurrently earning the top spot on our Spotify roundup. Aside from boasting impressive lyricism from both artists, it also found J. Cole sitting in the producer’s seat alongside Dem Jointz.

Our next selection is another joint track, “Tally” from midwxst and Denzel Curry. Following that comes the remix of Flo Milli’s TikTok-viral You Still Here, Ho? single, “Conceited.”

For the latest edition of the fire, braggadocious bad bitch anthem, the Alabama native worked with quickly rising star Lola Brooke, as well as Maiya The Don.

As far as solo efforts go, this weekend brought a good number. Bouba Savage’s work on “WIN A LOT” caught our ear, as did two new titles from EST Gee. Both “IF I STOP NOW” and “BLOW UP” can be found on Fire Emoji, with just one noteworthy collaboration separating them.

That joint single comes from Ray Vaughn and Ab-Soul, who previously made waves with his Herbert album. The new release, “Sandcastles” has quickly become a fan favourite for various reasons.

Amping audiences up for their forthcoming SremmLife 4 project is Rae Sremmurd. The sibling duo kept the party going this New Music Friday with “Sucka Or Sum,” which is due to appear on the long-awaited album.

Finally, we hear from KayCyy and BabyTron on their “MOTOWN” song, followed by our last selection of the week – SleazyWorld Go’s “Robbers and Villains.”

A$AP Rocky’s New Single Is On “Fire Emoji” This Weekend

by

Over the past few weeks, our Fire Emoji playlist has delivered heat from artists such as Moneybagg Yo, French Montana, and NBA YoungBoy. This weekend, the hot new arrivals continue to pour in. This is thanks to new projects from names like Ice Spice and Trippie Redd, not to mention a ton of exciting singles.

At the top of our latest roundup comes two titles from the “Miss the Rage” hitmaker’s MANSION MUSIK album. “FULLY LOADED” with Future and Lil Baby made the cut, as well as “KRZY TRAIN” featuring Travis Scott.

Elsewhere on our update, you’ll hear a posthumous feature from Juice WRLD, who lent his talents to “KNIGHT CRAWLER.”

It’s been nearly five years since A$AP Rocky delivered his Testing album. The father of one looks to be preparing for his next project’s arrival lately. His “Same Problems?” single landed earlier this week.

“Don’t bite the hand that feed you / I don’t hear or see no evil / Dilatin’ like my pupils / Means I already peeped you,” the New Yorker rhymes on the first track from Don’t Be Dumb.

Holding things down for the UK rap scene with a Fire Emoji-worthy title is Headie One. On “Martin’s Sofa,” he markedly samples Flatbush Zombie’s “Palm Trees” track while reflecting on his previously dangerous lifestyle.

Of course, our playlist wouldn’t be complete without some love for female rap stars. Firstly, Gloss Up and GloRilla connected for their “Bestfrenn” collaboration, following a string of successful joint tracks for the Memphis native.

Additionally, Ice Spice made her mark on Friday (January 20) with her Like..? EP. The entire six-track project is worth listening too, but we’re shouting out the Bronx baddie’s “Gangsta Boo” with Lil Tjay.

Moneybagg Yo & GloRilla’s Collab Brings The Heat To Our “Fire Emoji” Playlist

by

Our first Fire Emoji update of the year began with a new joint from Ice Spice, “In Ha Mood.” This weekend, we’re continuing to show love to our rising female artists. Specifically, we have a shoutout to GloRilla’s new collaboration with Moneybagg Yo – “On Wat U On.”

Both Southern-hailing rappers had an impressive run in 2022. Their latest work proves that the trend will likely continue into the new year. More new music and other projects are on the way from them both.

Another joint track we love comes from 21 Lil Harold and 21 Savage with “Ain’t On None.” The former rapper dropped off his After The Curse album on Friday (January 13). It comes complete with other appearances from Young Nudy, G Herbo, and Nardo Wick.

He certainly had a dramatic week with Big Scarr’s family throwing shade at him on social media. However, that didn’t stop Gucci Mane from bringing the heat. His latest release comes in the form of the Fire Emoji worthy “King Snipe” with Kodak Black.

“I’m that n*gga that smack all the smackers so I am the biggest stepper, five-five,” the Florida native spits on the first verse. “I’m a hot boy, my bitch the coldest, yeah, opposite attract / You got one time to raise your voice in here, then I’ma get the strap.”

Following that comes Armani White and Denzel Curry’s work together on “GOATED.” as well as Swizz Beatz and Jadakiss’ “Hustle, Repeat” alongside the Godfather of Harlem.

Our final Fire Emoji selection for your weekend streaming comes from ALLBLACK and Curren$y, who dropped off “Pelicans” this Friday.

Christmas is rapidly approaching. However, before they settle in for the holidays, some of your favourite artists continue to share new music. Surprisingly, December has seen some strong contenders for AOTY, namely from entertainers like Metro Boomin and SZA. This past Friday (December 16), even more heat arrived, aptly adding to the already impressive roster you’ll find on our Fire Emoji playlist.

Of this weekend’s many albums, arguably the most highly anticipated comes from Ab-Soul. The TDE artist dropped off HERBERT yesterday. It came along with an admission that he survived a suicide attempt during the project’s recording process.

Titles we’ve picked from the record include “GO OFF” with Russ and Big Sean, as well as “FOMF.” Additionally, “GOODMAN” with Punch, “NO REPORT CARD,” and “GOTTA RAP” are receiving plenty of love.

Another big release in the hip-hop world was Young Dolph’s posthumous album, Paper Route Frank. The entire thing is obviously worth a listen, though the title you’ll find on our Fire Emoji roundup is “Thats How” with Key Glock.

After that, we wear from Lil Durk and Future’s “Mad Max.” The superstar dup collaborated on the track for the former’s Only The Family – Lil Durk Presents: Loyal Bros 2 compilation project.

Other guest appearances on the 23-song-long tracklist come from Kodak Black, King Von, Icewear Vezzo, and Trippie Redd, just to name a few.

Our final new title is a collaborative effort from Chief Keef and Wiz Khalifa – “Rider.”

Metro Boomin held things down for us on our Fire Emoji update last weekend with his HEROES & VILLAINS album. This Saturday (December 10), Memphis’ Moneybagg Yo is taking the lead with his new “Quickie” single.

On the new track, the 31-year-old samples Lamont Dozier’s “Prelude.” Throughout the song he cleverly raps, “Came from different planets, then, one day, we intertwined / We relate on different levels, we got compatible signs.”

Following that we have a collaboration from A Boogie Wit da Hoodie’s new album. “Water (Drowning Pt. 2)” with Kodak Black caught our attention – not to mention all the praise it’s been getting from fans.

Next, we have Bslime’s “Whippin It” featuring Young Thug. Currently, the YSL founder is eagerly awaiting his January 2023 RICO trial along with the rest of the world.

Lil Durk came through with a solo single earlier this week. On “Hanging With Wolves” the Chicago native shows out in his usual style. Afterward, we hear from Icewear Vezzo and Future on their link up from the former’s Paint the City (Gangsta Grillz) tape in tandem with DJ Drama.

Another standout from A Boogie’s Me vs. Myself project is “Bounce Back.” Additionally, we’ve been loving Kay Flock and BIG30’s joint release, “Outta Luck.”

Holding things down for the female rap stars this weekend is Connie Diiamond. After sharing a series of successful singles over the past few weeks, she’s made her mark with “Winter Bae.”

Sha EK’s “41 Ways” and Rolling Loud’s first single from their compilation album appear after that. For the festival’s part, they recruited Rae Sremmurd and Duke Deuce to create “Finger Food.”
