This weekend’s playlist includes a slew of new releases including a track from Nicki Minaj featuring Lil Baby, Saba’s latest album Few Good Things, and a song from the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Nicki Minaj ft. Lil Baby, “Do We Have A Problem?”
After re-releasing Beam Me Up Scotty last year, Nicki Minaj is set to make her long-awaited return with a new album, set to arrive in 2022 sometime before the summer. The rap queen gave fans a taste of what’s to come with a new single titled “Do We Have A Problem?” featuring Lil Baby. The track arrives with a nine-minute cinematic film, directed by Benny Boom, in which Minaj plays a double agent who teams up with Lil Baby to steal jewelry, luxury cars, and other expensive items.

Rosalía, “Saoko”
Rosalía shared the second single from her upcoming album, Motomami, which is set to release on March 18. The experimental track, titled “Saoko,” samples Daddee Yankee and Wisin’s 2004 anthem “Saoco.” Fusing a classic reggaeton rhythm with an improvised jazz interlude, “Saoko” may be Rosalía’s most exciting release to date. The track arrives with a music visual as well, which sees Rosalía riding around the city with a badass all-girl biker gang. [artist info]
