After another round of impressive New Music Friday arrivals yesterday (April 21), we're back with our weekly Fire Emoji playlist update. Today's lineup is one of our longest in a minute, and it kicks off with two new arrivals from NBA YoungBoy's Don't Try This At Home project. The first is "What You Say," featuring Post Malone and The Kid LAROI, and following that comes a solo effort from the Louisana native called "Choppa Docter." Prior to releasing his project, YB also shared collaborations with Nicki Minaj and Mariah the Scientist as singles.

Armani White delivered serious heat in the form of "SILVER TOOTH."` with A$AP Ferg this week. The song is perfect to add to your S/S 2023 playlist and is just the start of what's to come from the Def Jam artist later this year. Belly is another name we deemed Fire Emoji-worthy today, thanks to his work on "American Nightmare." Of course, we would be remiss not to mention Lil Wayne and Swizz Beatz's work together on "This Sh*t Right Here" from the latter's new Hip Hop 50: Vol 2 project.

The release recommendations don't stop there. Tee Grizzley and Skilla Baby's joint effort, "B&E Pt. 1" has also been deemed a must-listen, as well as a headline-making hit from one of our favourite rising female rap divas. Latto's "Put It On Da Floor" has been stirring up plenty of attention online after she teased it during her first weekend performing at Coachella. Coi Leray accused the 777 artist of body shaming her with her lyrics, though she's since admitted to over-reacting about the situation.

For our final Fire Emoji selection of the weekend, we've picked Moneybagg Yo's "Motion God." The single arrives amid criticism coming toward the southern star over the steep prices at his new restaurant, which he expertly clapped back recently.
