Foggieraw and Monaleo set the tone on “Prairie View,” switching viewpoints across an easy soul loop that nods to college-town memories without leaning too heavily on nostalgia. ID’s “WRK” picks up the pace with brisk, elastic flows that ride busy drums yet never feel overstuffed. Lizzie Berchie’s “Company” dials things back, her conversational alto sitting over warm keys in an understated R&B cut about wanting simple closeness. Statik Selektah’s “The Louvre” brings posse‑cut heft—Westside Gunn, Joey Bada$$, Rome Streetz, and Stove God Cooks stack confident verses over dusty drums, giving the playlist its rawest edge. Texas energy follows on “Young Man,” where That Mexican OT and Sauce Walka trade playful boasts above a bass‑heavy groove that stays light on its feet.
The mood eases into jazz‑tinged soul on ROSEYE’s “Deep Dive,” where Candy Dulfer’s sax lines float over mid‑tempo percussion without breaking the set’s momentum. Westside Gunn’s solo cut “Egypt” keeps things concise, pairing sharp rhymes with horn stabs that feel cinematic yet uncluttered. Blu and August Fanon tip the vibe inward on “Dance,” letting Phoenix Cruz and Charles Hamilton layer reflective bars over mellow piano loops that still keep the head nodding. Wiz Khalifa teams with DJ Quik for “Take Your Time Get Paid,” reviving laid‑back West Coast bounce and turning financial focus into an easy sing‑along hook. Tamar Braxton’s “You On You” offers measured resolve, using crisp drums and a catchy refrain to underline her call‑and‑response approach to relationship boundaries. Alex Isley’s “Thank You for a Lovely Time” brings a gentle R&B glide, her airy upper register resting on subtle keys and leaving the session with a calm, appreciative tone.
