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.
