Cole, Doja Cat, and GloRilla shared their newest work chock full of features with artists like Megam Thee Stallion, Ari Lennox, and A$ap Rocky. There are also samples galore, as Khalid, GloRilla, and Kehlani’s new songs all interpolate iconic 2000s tracks you might just recognize. 

Sill mentally preparing to be outside? Add a few of these songs to your playlists!

Please Don’t Fall In Love With Me - Khalid

Khalid’s hypnotizing new song samples Alicia Keys’ 2000s hit track, “Unthinkable (I’m Ready),” and serves as a too-late warning to a lover who’s already moved on to someone else. 

Bless - Lil Wayne, Young Thug

Rap stars Young Thug and Lil Wayne team up for this blessing, trading bar for bar over a bass-heavy, guitar-driven beat.

After Hours - Kehlani

Kehlani’s breezy new bop, “After Hours,” is ready for the summertime and samples Nina Sky’s hit, “Move Your Body.”

Wanna Be - GloRilla, Megan Thee Stallion

Ahead of their joint Hot Girl Summer tour, GloRilla and Megan Thee Stallion teamed up for the first single on Glo’s new album, Ehhhthang Ehhhthang. The track samples Soulja Boy’s “Pretty Boy Swag,” and Megan gives us the instantly iconic bar, “You can get your wig turned like Effie.”

URRRGE!!!!!!!!!! - Doja Cat, A$ap Rocky
