A few heavy contenders that made the cut this year include Young Thug’s “Hot” featuring Gunna and Solange’s “Almeda.” Additional tracks on the playlist are Tyler, The Creator’s “EARFQUAKE,” Travis Scott’s “HIGHEST IN THE ROOM,” and Roddy Rich’s “The Box.” J. Cole’s “MIDDLE CHILD” off the Grammy-nominated Revenge of the Dreamers III album was included. Drake and Rick Ross’ “Gold Roses” appeared right after “Already” by Beyoncé, Shatta Wale and Major Lazer.
It may not come as a surprise, but other featured artists the rapper handpicked are DaBaby’s “INTRO” off his successful KIRK album and Burna Boy’s “Collateral Damage.” Kanye West’s Christian-inspired track “Follow God” was even included. Pop Smoke’s breakout hit “Welcome To The Party” manages to make an appearance on the compilation, the Brooklyn artist has had quite a year.
