Besides Lil Wayne, the HNHH staff was listening to Meek Mill, Megan Thee Stallion, and more this week.

Capping off an exciting start to the year, Lil Wayne conducted a closed-casket Funeral with the release of his first non-Carter album in five years. There were too many solid offerings on the body of work for us to choose just a handful of additions to this week's HNHH staff-curated TIDAL-exclusive playlist so, as a thank-you to the New Orleans legend, we've included a bunch of his new tracks.

Kicking off this week's edition of TIDAL Wave, we've got two early favorites from Funeral on tap with "Mahogany" and "I Do It" with Big Sean and Lil Baby. As we inch into the first extended break without any Tunechi efforts, we head into single releases from A$AP Ferg, Tory Lanez, A Boogie wit da Hoodie, and more. In this portion, we also show love to Australian newcomer The Kid LAROI for his collaborative track with Lil Tecca. Then, we have a couple of other Weezy songs before breaking into some R&B flavor, influenced by Trevor Daniel and Summer Walker, Justin Bieber, Lucky Daye, and others. An underground/old school vibe follows with cuts from Curren$y and DJ Fresh, Gang Starr, Boldy James, and more before reaching one of the final Wayne stretches. 

The TIDAL Wave playlist is curated each week by our editorial and sales staff, who each contribute their favorite five songs of the last trio (or so..) of weeks.
