We're also spotlighting new arrivals from Conway the Machine, Lola Brooke, and more.

As April comes to a close, we're rapidly approaching the halfway mark of 2023. While we've yet to hear from some of our favourite artists, others have been proudly showing out over the past four months, fueling the industry and bringing joy to their fans with new singles and albums. One name, in particular, who hip-hop heads were pleasantly surprised to hear from this weekend is Jack Harlow, who delivered ten featureless rap-heavy tracks on his Jackman album. As expected, a selection of titles from the project have landed on today's (April 29) Fire Emoji playlist update.

At the top of our list is "They Don't Love It," which is currently sparking an online debate surrounding the Kentucky native. While he proudly declared himself "the coldest white boy" since Eminem, many Twitter users argue that Mac Miller, among others, is more deserving of the title. Another noteworthy song from his third studio album is "Gang Gang Gang," which finds Harlow chiefly flexing his improved pen game. Apart from the 25-year-old's latest, we've also picked collaborations from Rich The Kid, Fivio Foreign, and Jay Critch ("Still Movin'"), as well as Conway the Machine's "The Chosen" with Jae Skeese.

Our sole new female Fire Emoji single comes from New York's Lola Brooke, who brought plenty of nostalgia with her "Just Relax" single. Along with that came an accompanying music video, during which the 29-year-old got to turn up at a lit house party with her friends. Elsewhere, Boosie Badazz, Kodak Black, and Jeezy formed a trifecta for the remix of "Rocketman." Finally, we selected Just Juice's joint effort with Logic and Trippie Redd, "Sweeter Scars," for your weekend listening consideration.
