Doechii and Kodak Black's fire new collaboration also landed on our latest update.

All winter long, our favourite artists have been bringing the heat to our R&B Season playlist to keep listeners warm. Now that spring is right around the corner, singers are continuing to put in work as the masses prepare for yet another Hot Girl Summer. Usher is clearly aware of what's to come over the next few months, as he didn't hold back on his comeback single, "GLU."

After the Texas-born vocalist teased the tragic (and a music video starring Lori Harvey) on social media, fans became all the more eager to hear what Usher has in store. He made his presence felt this New Music Friday (March 17), singing about plenty of salacious bedroom antics on the must-hear release. "You done made it messy / I guess that means you qualified," he teases the lady in his life. "How the f*ck you choke then don’t choke / Then do it both from the side? Hey."

HNHH R&B Season Update

Elsewhere on our R&B Season update, we have some noteworthy collaborations for your listening pleasure. First up is Rory's link-up with reggie and Jay Electronica on "Enough." Following that comes TDE superstar Doechii's latest, which finds her collaborating with Florida's own Kodak Black. The single is called "What It Is (Block Boy)" and marks an impressive musical start to 2023 for the artists.

The former single finds The Joe Budden Podcast alum tapping into his musical talents, proving to the world he's more than just a wise guy. "Enough" marks his second single, and it proves that with continuous hard work, there's only room for him to grow in the industry. In the accompanying music video, Rory also gets a chance to tease his acting chops for viewers.

Our final R&B Season-worthy find of the weekend comes from 6LACK, whose long-awaited album will hit DSPs later this month. Following releases like "Talkback" and "Since I Have A Lover," the Baltimore native wears his heart on his sleeve on "Fatal Attraction." After hearing his latest, fans can't wait to hear what the recording artist has in store for his project.

Stream our R&B Season playlist exclusively on Spotify below. Afterward, let us know which tracks you'll be adding to your own rotation in the comments. If you're in need of more release recommendations, find them on our Fire Emoji update here.
