The new entries submitted to FIRE EMOJI playlist were forced to pass through two gatekeepers who reigned supreme. They were Juice WRLD, whose album Death Race for Love literally dropped just yesterday; the other gatekeeper actually scored a couple of spots last week, faring even once the work was properly digested. I'm talking about DaBaby, whose Breakfast Club interview added a layer of interest to his new album Baby on Baby, largely due to the winning personality he put on display, rather genuinely.
This week's playlist also includes the teasing single from Charlie Heat's upcoming collaborative project with Denzel Curry, titled "Aloha." The song is as inviting as the title would suggest. YBN Cordae also grabbed a spot off the back of "Have Mercy," his much-lauded return to full signal strength. Then you've got IDK who contributed "Trigger Happy," one of the more lyrical submissions to our list.
As for the rest of our FIRE EMOJI playlist, a host of submissions were so memorable, they held onto spots. Rappers like Tierra Whack, Lil West, Lil Skies, SAINt JHN, Cee Kay, and Solange, whose new album is still germinating in the minds of many indecisive listeners. Last but not least, Freddie Gibbs jumped the queue once again with the second single off his hotly anticipated Bandana project with Madlib - the title track putting Agent Sasco's yardie style to great use.
