Although gyms everywhere are closed for the foreseeable future, we don’t need to use that as an excuse to let our fitness and health goals fall by the wayside. Now’s probably an even more important time than ever before to get your health and fitness in check, actually. Not only that, but influencers and health brands, as well as local gyms, are making it easy for you to do that by sharing at-home work out routines or else putting on group Instagram Live fitness classes for you to follow along in the comfort of your living room. That all being said, we decided we needed to give you a new edition of the Fit or Die gym workout-from-home playlist. 

This week’s playlist starts off with Fivio Foreign’s (who is officially Coronavirus-free) new drop, “Wetty”. The energy he brings, every time, is perfect for working out, including “Big Drip (Remix)” featuring Quavo and Lil Baby, “2 Cars” with Mr. Swipey, and to end the playlist “Pop Out.”

Lil Baby fits quite a few tracks in as well with “Solid,” “Gang Signs,” “Never Recover” featuring Gunna and Drake, “Forever” with Lil Wayne. He is also featured on Rich the Kid’s “Stuck Together,” 42 Dugg’s “Not A Rapper” with Yo Gotti.

Joyner Lucas’ tribute to Will Smith called “Will” is fun, positive and also fits perfectly into the playlist. Let us know what songs you’ve been vibing to for your at-home work outs in the comment section.

PARTYNEXTDOOR’s release of the highly anticipated PARTYMOBILE, along with Ari Lennox’s remix EP of some of the best tracks off her debut album, Shea Butter Baby, gave us plenty to choose from for this week’s “R&B Season” playlist. For a few months now, HNHH has been curating the carefully crafted “R&B Season” playlist on Spotify in order to keep you updated on the most fire R&B joints out right now, and this week, boy do we have some good picks for you. Leading the way is PND with some of the highlights off his freshly dropped album, PARTYMOBILE. “SAVAGE ANTHEM,” “EYE ON IT,” and “NOTHING LESS” all made the cut, and they’re certainly among good company. Ari Lennox blessed us with remixes of three tracks off her wildly successful 2019 debut album, Shea Butter Baby, all three of which are sitting pretty on “R&B Season.” The talented artist tapped Doja Cat to contribute her raspy flow and vocal stylings to “BMO,” and got Smino to put his spin on “I Been” along with up-and-comer Durand Bernarr for “Facetime.”

We also threw a fire track off The Weeknd‘s record-breaking masterpiece, After Hours, into the mix, following the release of the album’s deluxe edition this past week. Another project that’s been making waves is Childish Gambino/Donald Glover’s cryptically teased, 3.15.20, which he officially dropped last Sunday. A majorly R&B-infused track off the album is “12.38,” which you’ll be sure to find among our picks on “R&B Season.” Finally, we’ve also included Alina Baraz’s latest single, “More Than Enough,” for your listening pleasure.

The past few weeks have blessed us with album releases from the likes of Jhené Aiko and Jay Electronica‘s and dope singles from Kehlani and JoJo, and as a result, our “R&B Season” playlist is looking pretty fire. HNHH has been curating our custom R&B-centric Spotify playlist for months now, in order to give our hip-hop loving audience a taste of the often-overlapping genre’s finest offerings. 

The latest additions to the R&B roundup include two tracks off of Jhené Aiko’s highly-anticipated album, CHILOMBO, which dropped last Friday to high praise. The H.E.R.-featured  “B.S.” is a major highlight off the album, as is her stoner-friendly “Tryna Smoke.” Another big drop was Jay Electronica’s A Written Testimony this past Friday. While the project is predominantly hip-hop-heavy, as is to be expected from the Roc Nation rapper, Jay dipped his toe into the R&B sound alongside the album’s consistent collaborator, Jay-Z, on the devastating “A.P.I.D.T.A.” An acronym for “All Praise Is Due To Allah,” the somber song tackles the tribulations of loss, and was actually written on the night that Kobe Bryant tragically passed.

Kehlani also came through with some new music this week, denouncing unhealthy relationships on, “Toxic.” JoJo supported this sentiment on her own single, “Man,” and we decided to show both tracks some love. Check out our “R&B Season” playlist in full along with some of our other playlists below:

As our new gym playlist continues to grow weekly, we’re back with another fresh curation. We start off this week’s gym playlist with the first song off of Lil Uzi Vert’s much-anticipated and long-awaited project Eternal Atake, “Baby Pluto.” The album that we almost thought would never come finally arrived, and with it, we’ve got several songs worthy of gym motivation. Included on the playlist this week: “Celebration Station” and “Secure The Bag” from the same album.

A new single from Rich The Kid called “Red” appears this week, while fans await the rapper’s Boss Man album. RTK’s “That’s Tuff” featuring Quavo stays on for another week. Tory Lanez also stays another week with “K Lo K” featuring up-and-comer Fivio Foreign. Another up-and-comer who you may not be as familiar, Blacc Zacc, makes an appearance with Yo Gotti on “Fucc Up A Checc,” the perfect song for this mix. Finally, we’re hoping the two songs from Melli’s 2019 project phAses “Gangsta Talk” and “Copy” not only push you harder in the gym but maybe even find her a new fan.

We start this week’s edition of the Fit Or Die gym playlist with a couple of new tracks from Lil Baby‘s new project, My Turn, which just dropped on Friday. The Tay Keith produced banger “Commercial” featuring Lil Uzi Vert kicks off the playlist in a slow and steady fashion, perfect as you warm up for your work out. Lil Uzi Vert has been featured several times on the playlist, and again he shows up today with his new song “That Way.”

2 Chainz also made a solo return this past week with “No TV,” before we get back into some of the staple playlist additions: Roddy Ricch, Pop Smoke (“Welcome To The Party” finds a new place while “Mannequin” and “Shake The Room” are repeats.), Youngboy NBA, and even Valee makes an appearance with his Good Job, You Found Me cut “Shell.” You might also be surprised to find a little bit of classic Cam’ron on the list, “Oh Boy” fills a nostalgic need.

We’ve curated over two hours of high-energy music to fuel any type of exercise, so hopefully there is something in there to keep you motivated.

A few months back, we started our R&B-centric Spotify playlist, “R&B Season”. HNHH curates a bunch of playlists on various streaming platforms, but they are predominantly focused on hip hop. While it may appear that our expertise lies in hip hop, we are great admirers of R&B. As the border between these two genres becomes increasingly porous, it’s hard to be a fan of one without being a fan of the other. However, the distinction remains important when deciding what vibe you’re going for when you turn to your preferred medium of music consumption. R&B tends to be catered for your more mellow moments and there should be a place for you to comfortably retreat into to enjoy those sounds. That’s why we’ve been putting love and care into building up our “R&B Season” playlist. 

The past two weeks of music releases have treated our playlist very well. Summer Walker, Brent Faiyaz, A Boogie wit da Hoodie and Snoh Aalegra all came through with huge contributions. This week is no exception. The Weeknd and Jacquees got us feeling blissful. 

While you may initially be surprised to see G Herbo‘s name tucked into our playlist, you will then notice that Jacquees supplied Herbo’s new single with the R&B twist that allowed it to qualify for submission. “Shooter” is the second teaser of the Chicago rapper’s upcoming album, PTSD. Given its drastically different tone from the lead single, “In This Bitch”, we see that Herbo will be giving us a varied compilation. Jacquees, the self-proclaimed King of R&B, laces the song with an addictive chorus and the beat’s reverberating bass washes over you. Perfect for “R&B SEASON.”

Lots of new developments on The Weeknd front this week. After finally learning the title of his next album, we were gifted with the third single off After Hours, which also happens to be its title track. While it may not foster the most mellow mood, The Weeknd is an R&B staple that deserves love on our playlist. The first half of the song is quite upbeat, but once the dancing energy subsides, you are left with a brooding outro reminiscent of Abel’s earlier music. In that sense, it does fit the vibe we’re trying to curate here.

This week’s hip hop releases were ruled by the new school. After sporadically dropping a string of music videos for its singles, YoungBoy Never Broke Again delivered his new album, Still Flexin Still Steppin, on Friday. The Louisiana rapper continues to prove that he’s committed to overworking everyone else in the game. Despite his career being hampered by legal troubles, he claws forward with frequent releases that evidence his hunger. Our early favourite from the new project is “Bat Man”, earning it a spot on our Spotify playlist “FIRE EMOJI” this week. 

Another young cat that came through with heat on Friday is Lil Gotit. The Alamo Records signee and YSL affiliate shared a mixtape executive produced by London On Da Track and entitled Superstar Creature. Lil Gotit, who is also the brother of burgeoning star Lil Keed, has undeniably been in his bag. He dropped two solo projects last year, Crazy But It’s True and The Real, as well as a joint EP with producer 10fifty. The fact that he teamed up with one of the hottest trap producers for Superstar Creature is nothing short of a blessing. He spazzes all over London’s beats, especially on “Bet Up” and “No Worries.”

Calboy is another 20-year-old artist who we’ve had our sights set on and his new EP proves again that he’s deserving of our attention. Long Live The Kings boasts features from G Herbo, Lil Baby and Lil Tjay, so you already know we had to put one of those exhilarating collaborations on “FIRE EMOJI.” “Givenchy Kickin” made the cut. 

Last but certainly not least, we pay tribute to Pop Smoke, who we tragically lost on Wednesday. It may sting to listen to an artist’s music shortly after their passing, but Pop Smoke’s makes you feel “Invincible.” Let his voice rumble and roar through speakers this weekend and forever.

That’s why we’ve been putting love and care into building up our “R&B Season” playlist. 

Since Valentine’s Day coincided with New Music Friday this year, some R&B artists took the opportunity share songs focused on their favourite lyrical theme: love. Snoh Aalegra is the queen of giving us ~those feels~, so we were grateful that she came through with a V-Day offering. It may not have been a brand new track, but it was something equally exciting – a Pharrell remix. Romantic P hopped on “Woah” from Aalegra’s 2019 sophomore album, – Ugh, those feels again. It’s always a cause for celebration when we get to hear Pharrell’s unconventional approach to rap. 

A Boogie wit da Hoodie is one of those artists who is incredibly skilled at fusing together trap and R&B. He oscillates between these musical inclinations, as exhibited on his new collaboration with Summer Walker, “Calm Down (Bittersweet)”. The track marks one of the more mellow moments on A Boogie’s new album, Artist 2.0. Anything Summer Walker does is sure to secure a spot on our playlist.

We have no rules against including throwbacks on “R&B Season” and since Valentine’s Day had us reflecting on Kendrick Lamar’s tender 2017 track, “LOVE”, we decided to add to the queue. Grimes also dropped “Delete Forever”, the most gentle single yet from her forthcoming album that we felt fit the vibe of “R&B Season”. The same argument applies to Billie Eilish highly-awaited Bond theme, “No Time To Die”. Enjoy!

While Valentine’s Day coincided with New Music Friday this year, this week’s releases weren’t particularly lovey. There were a few exceptions though. Everyone’s favourite on-and-off couple, Kehlani and YG, surprised us with their first collaboration, “Konclusions”, confirming that they are on at the moment. If you wanted a somewhat sappy anthem this V-Day, whether you’re single or not, they had you covered. We also selected a romantic cut from Justin Bieber‘s new album, Changes, for our “FIRE EMOJI” playlist on Spotify. On “Forever”, Biebs, Post Malone and Clever commit to being in their relationships for the long-run. 

While the first verse of “Thug Love” may start out with A Boogie wit da Hoodie asserting that “this ain’t no fucking love song”, the rest of his lyrics suggest otherwise. It may be a tad too raunchy to qualify as a traditional love song, but the affectionate sentiment is there regardless. So I guess you could say we did end up with celebrating Valentine’s Day with our playlist additions. We’re always trying to spread love. On top that, “Thug Love” allowed us to get some representation from A Boogie’s new album, Artist 2.0. 

This week also blessed us with new tracks from the freshmen class of melodic rappers. Two of its members, Calboy and Lil Tjay, teamed up for “Barbarian”. Another skilled crooner Polo G hosted some other young talents on “Go Stupid”, which called upon NLE Choppa and Stunna 4 Vegas to drop verses on the Mike WiLL Made-It/Tay Keith-produced beat. YoungBoy Never Broke Again could also be discussed in this category. With Still Flexin Still Steppin set to drop next week, YoungBoy delivered two singles in advance to get us ready. “Knocked Off” made it onto our playlist.

That’s why we’ve been putting love and care into building up our “R&B Season” playlist. 

Our job was made easy this week because a lot of stellar R&B artists came through with new tunes for us to add onto our playlist. Brent Faiyaz returned with F**k The World, his first LP since 2017’s Sonder Son. His velvety vocals match the vibe of our “R&B SEASON” so well that we couldn’t help but selecting two cuts from his new record: “Bluffin” and “Been Away”. Once you hear these, you’ll definitely feel compelled to check out the rest of F**k The World. 

Although Summer Walker dropped her debut album, Over It, not too long ago and provided us with eighteen silky tracks to keep in rotation, she’s keeping the music coming. Probably because people can’t get enough of her. Her buzz is evidenced by the fact that she was recruited to contribute an original song to the soundtrack for the new Harley Quinn movie, Birds Of Prey. Summer’s rendition of Barry White’s “I’m Gonna Love You Just A Little More” shows her singing over jazzier production than ever before and it makes for a lovely fit.
