As we enter May, it’s getting close to the time when we as a community choose our song of the summer. We all have those memories from when all unanimously choose our favorite song for block parties, festivals, brunches and nightclubs.
From “Bad and Boujee” to “The Box” there have been many songs that have taken over our playlists, and now it’s time for the 2023 summer song.
The summer competition was steep in 2022 as we blasted “Last Last” and “Tomorrow 2” which seems like these songs came out yesterday, and now it’s time to see if new artists like Coi Leray and Ice Spice could hold the summer song spot or will OGs like Beyoncé and Drake take that title home.
Check out some of our contenders for Song of the Summer 2023.
