5 Albums To Add To Your Summer Playlist

The right soundtrack is crucial to any summer getaway. From tuning in by the beach, to immersing yourself during your flight, your choice of song/album can be something that you associate with a specific holiday for years to come. With this in mind, the Madison Barclay team have put together 5 albums you should consider when putting together your summer playlist for the season ahead.

J. Cole - "The Off-Season": From delivery to production, J Cole rarely misses. Released in 2021, the album includes standout features including 21 Savage, Lil Baby & 6LACK, exhibiting some his finest work to date. Tracks such as “my.life”,“let.go.my.hand” & “amari” will set you up for any long haul flight.

Tyler, The Creator - "CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST": Rapper, producer & songwriter, Tyler’s versatility as an artist shines through throughout this album. Another 2021 release and a throwback to Tyler’s older work for many, the album has a raw feel with a clear focus on rapping from the outset. Key tracks include “WUSYANAME” & “LUMBERJACK”.

Vince Staples - "Vince Staples": The self-titled album showcases the very best of Staples and his unique style. His lyrics speak on all aspects of life, from joy to pain, assembling an album worthy for those getaway moments of reflection. Standout tracks: “SUNDOWN TOWN” & “THE SHINING”.

DMX - "EXODUS": This posthumous album from the legendary DMX is a must-listen for any hip hop fan. X goes out with a bang, with big name features including JAY-Z, Lil Wayne & Alicia Keys. Tracks such as “Bath Salts” & “That’s My Dog”, present the very best of the album.

Drake – “Nothing Was The Same”: With both this & “Take Care” being suggested by the team, we opted for the 2013 release.An album often depicted as some of Drizzy’s most symbolic work, “Nothing Was The Same” built on the success of previous work, proving to be one of his most focused and complete albums to date. Standout tracks include “Worse Behaviour” & “Hold On, We’re Going Home”.
