The Best Hip-Hop & R&B Playlist To Kickstart This Weekend

It's Friday. It's Easter weekend. Or Passover weekend. Or perhaps, it's just a regular ol' ass weekend. Whatever the case is, what better time is there for you to follow our FIRE EMOJI playlist???

We've been building up our Spotify playlist, FIRE EMOJI, as a breeding ground for the dopest/best/hottest hip-hop and r'n'b songs that are out right now. We're always on the hunt for newest of the new (so long as it's fye) to add to it, while older songs are gradually curated out of the playlist and added to our massive/only-playlist-of-its-kind Archive -- if you have a couple of days to spare, give it a listen.

In an effort to keep your earbuds satisfied and keep up with the non-stop pace of the internetz, we update FIRE EMOJI on a daily basis, and we're sharing it with you every Friday, to help accommodate your weekend plans. If you didn't keep up with the site's daily songs list for the entire week, then consider this as a simple recap on the songs you might have missed, and more importantly, the songs you really need in your life this weekend.

I know we say this every week, but this week really is a very lit playlist. On top of a spur-of-the-moment release (that was probably well-planned and not as spontaneous as it might seem) from The Weeknd, we finally received new music from A$AP Rocky (and it's bangs hard), a new single from Mike WiLL Made It and co., plus, if you dive back further into the playlist, we've got some stand-out album cuts from Chloe x Halle, 070 Shake, Trouble and many more. Happy weekend.
