The Best Hip-Hop & R&B Playlist For This Weekend

It's Friday. It's 2k18. What better time is there for you to follow our FIRE EMOJI playlist??? There is no better time, get your life together.

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.

What a time to be alive. Another exciting day for music releases this week, whether you want some lyrical acrobats by our favorite Royce Da 5'9" or you want Desiigner's gruff yet melodic earworm style, or else, perhaps you're just in need of a Swaecation. This week's edition of the playlist, which has been building up through out the week, includes new music from Joyner Lucas and Chris Brown, another stand-out Youngboy NBA song ("Overdose") from his debut album (which is a release from last Friday, we know), Desiigner's "LA To NY," the latest from Wiz Khalifa featuring Gucci Mane, as well as r'n'b singer extraordinaire Gallant. And more.

P.S.!! We have two new playlists that launched this week. The first will be recurring, The Discovery Channel Playlist on Soundcloud. The second is also a series of sorts, that is attached to our new Hip-Hop Olympics Bracket. Week one focuses on California, so we have the best/only West Coast playlist you need on Spotify.
