Summer is coming, and with that we need music to be ready and prepared. These are the best songs of the entire summer. So get ready to add them to your playlist.
The Spins by Mac Miller is an amazing summer song. With a fast, upbeat instrumental, Mac Miller gives a stellar rap performance. Miller sampled an Empire of the Sun song called “Half Mast”. This sample fits the summer vibe perfectly and is a fantastic use of a sample.
Sundress by A$AP Rocky is also an excellent summer song. This song also makes use of a sample, which is Tame Impala’s “Why Won’t You Make Up Your Mind?”. The beat is eye-opening, with great beat drops that give you that summer feeling.
Am I Dreaming by A$AP Rocky, Metro Boomin, and Roisee. Not only does this song have that perfect summer vibe, but it is also from a great movie. “Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse” was an amazing movie with some of the best songs and visuals ever. And after leaving everyone on the biggest cliffhanger, this song comes on during the end credits. Because of this, the song became popular and has since become a perfect summer song because it reminds everyone of when this movie came out.
The Weeknd is one of the biggest pop stars in the world. In 2011, he made his first mixtape called “House of Balloons”. In this mixtape, the song “The Morning” is a highlight with a beat that makes you ascend, along with an outstanding vocal performance by The Weeknd. It is a standout summer track and really gives you that summer feeling. The guitar in this song is just mesmerizing.
Up Up & Away by Kid Cudi is a song that just makes you wanna go outside. With a really upbeat beat and a fast rapping performance from Cudi, it just has that perfect summer energy.
But the summer playlist can’t be complete without a hype summer song. I present to you Shoota by Playboi Carti featuring Lil Uzi Vert. Lil Uzi Vert has the first verse of the song as the beat builds up. Then, once the beat drops, Playboi Carti comes in. The beat makes this song feel like summer. Overall it’s such a good song.
I THINK by Tyler, The Creator is a song about falling in love. The beat gives off that summer mood and has a very catchy hook to go with it. Both of these things make it a perfect song to play in the summer heat.
Murder To Excellence by Kanye West and Jay-Z is a perfect summer track. The sample is the best part of the whole song, as he samples “La La La” by Indiggo Twins. Even though it’s a very random sample, it’s astonishing, nonetheless. The beat switch in the song is also crazy. Overall, it’s just a remarkable track.
Finally, the last song of this list is Now or Never by Kendrick Lamar featuring Mary J. Blige. The beat is unbelievably good. While listening to this song, it feels like you are walking down the sidewalk on a beautiful sunny summer day, and nothing can go wrong. Mary J. Blige gives an amazing performance on this song, and overall, the track is wonderful.
Hopefully, you will give some of these songs a try and enjoy them for yourself. And I hope you guys have a great summer!
