Bring on the beach, bikinis and BBQ, summertime is here! As we’re rapidly approaching the official first day of summer 2018, we can’t forget one the most essential items to kick off the season…our playlist! There’s nothing better than good summer jam, a classic hit that will take you back to that “one summer” for years to come.

While there’s a vibe for every occasion (poolside, in the car, or on the boat), PCN came to party, it’s what we do best! We decided to stick to one genre and selected 25 of the hottest songs in hip hop today, that will surely be summer club anthems this year.

This list only scratched the surface, especially with more new music on the way: Drake recently announced his release date (June 29) for his highly anticipated album Scorpion, Nicki Minaj is making waves with “Chun-Li” and “Barbie Tingz” as we approach the August 10th release of her fourth studio album Queen and Beyonce and Jay Z broke the internet yet again with the surprise joint-album drop Everything Is Love (June 16). Time to renew that Tidal subscription!

We may have to revisit this playlist mid-summer, as artists are still breaking new records as we speak, but let’s get down to business. Whether you’re pregaming, at the day party or dancing the night away in the club, we’ve got you covered with those hits that are about to go off this summer.
