Nas & 50 Cent’s “Office Hours” Collab Is “Fire Emoji” AF

With each weekend of the summer so far, the new releases from hip-hop and R&B artists have only grown hotter. Lil Uzi Vert finally nabbed the genre its first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200, and that seems to have motivated their contemporaries to unleash new singles and projects to keep the momentum going. Arguably the most noteworthy rap release this New Music Friday (July 21) came from Nas, who followed last year’s King’s Disease III with Magic 2, boasting appearances from 50 Cent and 21 Sav. For our Fire Emoji update, we’ve picked Nas’ link-up with his fellow New Yorker, “Office Hours,” which is followed by another dynamic duo – J. Cole and Bas.

The latter pair connected for “Passport Bros” earlier this week, marking yet another successful joint effort for the Dreamville leader this season. We’ve also been loving ASAP Rocky’s work on “RIOT (Rowdy Pipe’n)” with Pharrell, which appeared in the soon-to-be father of two’s dope new Beats ad spot a few days ago. Everything we’ve mentioned so far is undeniably impressive, but it’s Travis Scott’s “K-POP” featuring Bad Bunny and The Weeknd that’s already a standout contender for song of the summer.

Further down on the list we’ve got “Long Nights” from Canada’s own Smiley, as well as Jay Rock’s “Too Fast (Pull Over)” in tandem with Anderson .Paak and Latto. The 777 rap diva’s most recent feature comes just before her rumoured enemy’s Ice Spice’s catchy new, “Deli” track, which landed alongside three other new titles on her updated Like..? EP. Gucci Mane came through with heat in the form of “Married with Millions,” and from Babyface Ray’s album we’ve selected “Fly Gods” featuring Westside Gunn.

After yet another week of New Music Friday releases, we’ve once again curated the best of the best on our Fire Emoji playlist for your listening pleasure. The list is a lengthy one, kicking off with Lil Baby’s latest, “Merch Madness,” which came accompanied by a new visual from the father of two. Afterward, we have a collaboration between Lil Tjay and NBA YoungBoy, “Project Walls.” It’s set to appear on the former’s 222 album which is due out later this month. Another noteworthy joint effort comes after in the form of Rico Beats and G Herbo’s “Real Spill.”

Holding things down for female artists today is Cardi B, who joined FendiDa Rappa on “Point Me 2.” This marks yet another successful remix for the New York icon in 2023, following her recent work with Latto on “Put It On Da Floor Agan.” As Gunna continues to promote his a Gift & a Curse project with new visuals, we’ve also added “fukumean,” in which he’s been accused of using a clone to play himself.

Lil Uzi Vert’s “Pink Tape” Breathes Life Into Today’s “Fire Emoji” Update

Unsurprisingly, today’s Fire Emoji playlist is mostly an homage to Lil Uzi Vert’s Pink Tape, which the Philadelphia native finally fed us after years of anticipation. The earliest first week sales projections suggest that the lengthy effort could become hip-hop’s first No. 1 album of 2023, which would certainly be exciting. If you’re curious about LUV’s LP, but don’t want to sit through the entire tracklist, our weekly picks are the perfect sample selection.

Kicking things off is “Flooded The Face,” which makes a great addition to any workout playlist. Our next pick, “Aye” features Travis Scott, marking yet another successful collaboration for him and Uzi. We’ve previously heard them together on “Watch” with Kanye West and “Go Off” alongside Quavo. We would be remiss not to include “Endless Fashion,” which is getting lots of love thanks to Nicki Minaj’s appearance. Our final Pink Tape pick is “Suicide Doors,” another solo effort from the Eternal Atake artist.

The Queen of Rap didn’t only connect with Uzi on our Fire Emoji update this weekend – she actually appears twice. Ahead of her Pink Friday 2 project, Minaj has also teamed up with Young Thug for “Money,” and the Barbz are having a hard time deciding which of her two new contributions they like better. In addition to that, we also hear from The Alchemist and Earl Sweatshirt on “RIP Tracy,” and Rylo Rodriguez shines on “End of the Road.”

Our final two picks for the first weekend of July are “TRUTH OR DARE” from CHIKA and Freddie Gibbs, along with Jay Rock and Kal Banx’s “Eastside.” Check out our full Fire Emoji playlist update exclusively on Spotify above.

Young Thug’s “BUSINESS IS BUSINESS” Brings So Many Bangers To Our “Fire Emoji” Playlist

The talk of the industry as of late has been mostly centred around how hip-hop has failed to produce a No. 1 single so far in 2023. Clearly, artists have heard the chatter and put in work since coming to this realiziation. This week’s batch of New Music Friday (June 23) arrivals is hotter than any others in recent memory. Unsurprisingly, Young Thug’s BUSINESS IS BUSINESS album is getting all the love at the top of today’s Fire Emoji playlist, with “Oh U Went” featuring Drake taking the first spot.

After that we have the second collaboration from Queen of Rap Nicki Minaj and 23-year-old Ice Spice. Following the “Princess Diana (Remix),” the new arrival is called “Barbie World. It’s due to appear on the soundtrack of Greta Gerwig’s upcoming Barbie movie. Another noteworthy Thugger title, “Want Me Dead” featuring 21 Sav comes after, as well as Stormzy and Fredo’s hot new “Toxic Trait” single. Elsewhere, fans of the late Juice WRLD were happy to hear his voice posthumously once again. This time he appeared on Lyrical Lemonade’s “Doomsday” alongside Cordae.

The rap divas are getting plenty of love today as well. We’re celebrating BIA’s work with Busta Rhymes on “BEACH BALL” plus Coi Leray’s “Spend It” featuring Saucy Santana. Speaking of the Boston-born baddie, she shared her sophomore album this weekend, from which we’ve also added “No Angels” with Lola Brooke to our round-up. A few noteworthy solo efforts that caught our attention are Key Glock’s “Presidential Rolex” and Thugger’s “Jonesboro,” as well as Lil Tjay’s reflection on his near-fatal shooting throughout “June 22nd.”

Our final picks for your streaming consideration are Finesse2tymes’ wild new “Shiesty” joint featuring Kali and Sexyy Red, and another posthumous track from King Von called “Robberies.” Check out today’s Fire Emoji update exclusively on Spotify above.

Kendrick Lamar & Baby Keem’s “The Hillbillies” Is A Must-Hear On Our “Fire Emoji” Playlist

Fire Emoji time is here once again, and this Saturday (June 10) we have a beautiful balance of male and female artists for you to check out. Coming in at the top of today’s round-up is Baby Keem and Kendrick Lamar, who dropped off a surprise single, “The Hillbillies” earlier this week. They tapped Tyler, The Creator to join them in the accompanying visual, and while the Goblin artist doesn’t provide any bars, he did show off his dance moves – along with the location for his next edition of the annual Camp Flog Gnaw festival.

Another collaboration we’ve been loving is J Hus’ “Who Told You” featuring Drake. It arrives just weeks before the Canadian is set to head out on tour with 21 Savage. Following that comes the City Girls’ work on “I Need A Thug,” which received mixed reaction online, but was only a warm-up for what they delivered to us on New Music Friday. Elsewhere, Joyner Lucas and NBA YoungBoy joined forces for “Cut U Off.”

Sexyy Red is still riding the high of her “Pound Town 2” collaboration with Nicki Minaj at the end of May, but the rising rap diva isn’t done impressing us yet. Her Hood Hottest Princess project landed yesterday, and we’ve picked “SkeeYee” as the tracklist’s must-listen title. Aside from that, we also suggest Doe Boy and G Herbo’s collaboration with Future and Roddy Ricch on “TRY & SEE.” The fully loaded song appears on the first lyricist’s new BEEZY album, along with other noteworthy features.

Babyface Ray is making waves with his All Star Team LP, which we’re highlighting the title track from, and Rob49 made an impressive return on “Woedy” with Birdman. Finally, Yung Miami and Caresha’s aforementioned NMF drop, “Pinata” is the perfect pre-game party banger for summer. Stream all the latest additions exclusively on our Fire Emoji Spotify playlist.

Latto & Cardi B “Put It On Da Floor Again” For This Week’s “Fire Emoji” Playlist

Now that June is here, the smell of summer is wafting clearly through the air, and on our Fire Emoji update. At this time, many of our favourite artists are trying to get ahead of things by dropping off the song of the season to ensure it gets maximum exposure at the clubs and on the radio over the next few months. So far, one of the biggest standouts is Cardi B and Latto’s “Put It On Da Floor Again,” which finds the mother of two spitting one of the strongest verses we’ve heard from her in a minute.

Of course, there’s also the latest headline-making single from Gunna too. Titled “bread & butter,” the nearly four-minute-long track includes alleged disses aimed at Lil Baby and Lil Durk, however, the YSL artist has denied throwing shade at the former. As for fire collaborations, the latest from Moneybagg Yo and Future (“Keep It Low”), as well as Dave and Central Cee (“Sprinter”) both have our Fire Emoji seal of approval.

Following that comes LUCKI’s “NO BAP,” Saba and NO ID’s “hue_man nature,” and another joint from Bagg’s Hard To Love project, “Still.” Machine Gun Kelly is applying serious “PRESSURE” with his hot new single, and Metro Boomin’s skills continue to shine on the Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse soundtrack. While the full 13-track release is obviously a must-listen, our personal favourite is “Annihilate.” On that, the producer links up with Lil Wayne, Swae Lee, and Offset, all of whom come through with insect-themed bars.

Kid Cudi continues to step back into the spotlight with “PORCHE TOPLESS,” and Flo Milli doined forces with Trina and Maiya The Don to give us a shemix of “No Love.” Beneath that you’ll find more from Metro Boomin, as well as French Montana and Kodak Black’s “I Can’t Lie” collab. Stream this week’s full Fire Emoji update exclusively on Spotify above. Are there any new arrivals you think we should’ve added? Let us know in the comments, and check back on Sunday to find more release recommendations on our R&B Season playlist.

Symba Is The “Top G” On Our “Fire Emoji” Playlist Today

We’re midway through another weekend, making it the perfect time to deliver our latest Fire Emoji playlist update. At the very top of our list today comes a collaboration from Belly and Rick Ross on “Cocaine Spoon” from the former’s new Mumble Rap 2 project. The 11-track effort is just one of several that made its debut on New Music Friday (May 19), also boasting guest appearances from NAV, Gucci Mane, and Gil Scott-Heron.

Carrying the torch for female rappers is Connie Diiamond, who impressed us yet again with her latest single, “What They Do.” We also have quickly fallen in love with Aminé and Kaytranada’s joint effort, KAYTRAMINÉ. If you don’t have time to check out the full album, we suggest starting with “Master P” as a sampler, which is sure to lure you toward other titles on the tracklist. Following that comes Jay Worthy’s latest, “The Plug,” on which he connected with an iconic trio – Roc Marciano, Kokane, and Ab-Soul.

Ahead of the arrival of his highly anticipated LP next weekend, Lil Durk has given us another single. Earlier this month and J. Cole connected on “All My Life,” and now, he’s worked with EST Gee on “Spinnin’.” While Toosii found success all alone on “Favorite Song” earlier this year, he tapped Future to appear on the “Toxic Version” this weekend, which fans of the duo are already loving. Elsewhere in the news, Hendrix has said he’s hard at work on Dirty Sprite 3, much to hip-hop head’s delight.

Finally, we have a solo offering from Symba, called “Top G.” The hot new single came shortly after the lyricist shared his thoughts on Ja Morant’s ongoing situation with the NBA, which has warranted plenty of celebrity reactions over the past few days. Stream this week’s full Fire Emoji update exclusively on Spotify above. Did we leave out any of your New Music Friday favourites?

Cole’s first-ever link-up on “All My Life,” which is set to appear on the Chicago native’s highly anticipated project later this month. Following that comes several other joint efforts, such as A Boogie Wit da Hoodie’s “MVP” featuring G-Eazy, and CHASE B’s “Ring Ring” assisted by Travis Scott and Don Toliver.

As they continue to prepare their long-awaited Pink Tape for us, Lil Uzi Vert lent their talents to the remix of Veeze’s “GOMD.” Elsewhere, Killer Mike and Eryn Allen Kane came together for “MOTHERLESS” and Deante’ Hitchcock joined forces with Shamba to create “Zodiac.” Of course, there are several solo singles that have caught our attention for Fire Emoji too, namely from Rican Da Menace and NBA YoungBoy.

The former, a quickly rising starlet, showed out on her latest effort, “No Problems,” this New Music Friday. As for the Louisana lyricist, he turned out his third full-length effort of 2023 with Richest Opp. If you have time to check out just one title from YB’s mixtape, we suggest you pick “Bitch Let’s Do It,” though “F*ck The Industry Pt. 2” also contains plenty of noteworthy disses. Finally, our last two titles of the week see several heavy hitters working together.

Jay Worthy and Roc Marciano dropped “Wake Up” together and closing things out today is MARCO PLUS and Chris Patrick’s “Lift Me Up,” which is sure to bring the energy you’ve been craving to your own playlist.

Lil Baby’s New Single, “Go Hard,” Sets The Tone For Our Latest “Fire Emoji” Playlist

The first New Music Friday of May has certainly brought with it plenty of evidence that our favourite lyricists aren’t coming to play this month. From must-hear new projects landing by DaBaby, Destroy Lonely, and Conway the Machine to singles arriving via Belly, IDK, and Lil Baby, we’ve got plenty to get into on this weekend’s Fire Emoji playlist update. Leading the way is the latter, Atlanta-based artist, who dropped off “Go Hard” this past Wednesday.

Besides new music from the My Turn hitmaker, we also selected a must-listen joint from Conway’s WON’T HE DO IT project. Our personal favourite is “Brooklyn Chop House” featuring Fabolous and Benny The Butcher, though we also spotlighted “Brucifix” on our new releases panel. Following that comes a collaborative effort from JELEEL! and Chow Lee, called “CONFETTI!,” as well as a solo effort from Belly, “Ambiance.”

As for other noteworthy joint titles, “Pissy” from Gucci Mane, Nardo Wick, and Roddy Ricch comes to mind, along with “Pinot Noir” from IDK, Jucee Froot, and Saucy Santana. We also heard SleazyWorld Go tap Polo G for “Off The Court,” and Lil Uzi Vert makes serious waves with their work on Snow Strippers’ “It’s A Dream.” From DaBaby’s CALL DA FIREMAN EP, we’ve been loving his “SELLIN CRACK” collaboration with Offset. Finally, from Destroy Lonely’s highly anticipated If Looks Could Kill album, we’ve picked two songs for your streaming consideration.

The first, “superstar,” appears midway through our list. At the very end, you’ll find our other choice – “money & sex – bonus” with Ken Carson. Of the 26 titles on the 21-year-old’s project, it’s the only one he included a feature on, letting his captivating presence, lyrical abilities and confidence carry him through the rest on his own. Tap into our weekly Fire Emoji playlist update on Spotify, and let us know if there are any other titles you would’ve added in the comments.

Jack Harlow Leads The Way On Our “Fire Emoji” Playlist Update With Tracks From “Jackman”

As April comes to a close, we’re rapidly approaching the halfway mark of 2023. While we’ve yet to hear from some of our favourite artists, others have been proudly showing out over the past four months, fueling the industry and bringing joy to their fans with new singles and albums. One name, in particular, who hip-hop heads were pleasantly surprised to hear from this weekend is Jack Harlow, who delivered ten featureless rap-heavy tracks on his Jackman album. As expected, a selection of titles from the project have landed on today’s (April 29) Fire Emoji playlist update.

At the top of our list is “They Don’t Love It,” which is currently sparking an online debate surrounding the Kentucky native. While he proudly declared himself “the coldest white boy” since Eminem, many Twitter users argue that Mac Miller, among others, is more deserving of the title. Another noteworthy song from his third studio album is “Gang Gang Gang,” which finds Harlow chiefly flexing his improved pen game. Apart from the 25-year-old’s latest, we’ve also picked collaborations from Rich The Kid, Fivio Foreign, and Jay Critch (“Still Movin’”), as well as Conway the Machine’s “The Chosen” with Jae Skeese.

Our sole new female Fire Emoji single comes from New York’s Lola Brooke, who brought plenty of nostalgia with her “Just Relax” single. Along with that came an accompanying music video, during which the 29-year-old got to turn up at a lit house party with her friends. Elsewhere, Boosie Badazz, Kodak Black, and Jeezy formed a trifecta for the remix of “Rocketman.” Finally, we selected Just Juice’s joint effort with Logic and Trippie Redd, “Sweeter Scars,” for your weekend listening consideration.
