Young Thug is back. This week's FIRE EMOJI playlist begins with Thugger's garbled, hoarse and entrancing chant of either "skrrt" or "slatt" depending on how hear it. The song, Audemar, is off his new compilation album Slime Language. SEX uses the album as a way to showcase the talent on his Young Stoner Life label, including Gunna and Lil Baby, who he's already very much put on, along with lesser known YSL signees like Hidoraah and ex/current girlfriend Karlae, who is now a rapper. "Slimed In" and "Chanel (Go Get It)" are also on the playlist.
Travis Scott, who came out with Astroworld two weeks ago, has stayed squarely in the public eye ever since. Part of it may have to do with his billionaire, headline-grabbing baby-mama, but it's also largely because of the features he's put out since Astroworld. There's DJ Mustard's "Dangerous World," a title that mixes Scott's Astroworld and Yg's Stay Dangerous, and also DPONTHEBEAT's Trippin which features Wiz Khalifa too.
Also coming in near the top is a marriage made in rnb/rap heaven: Bryson Tiller and Tory Lanez. On their new "Keep In Touch" they embody Bryson Tiller's album name, Trapsoul. Although coined by Tiller, it also exactly describes the music of Tory Lanez. As Tiller raps/sings on "Get Mine": "No, n***a, this ain't no trap music/Soul, rhythm, blues with a slap to it."
