Because “Blem” was buried under a barrage of more radio-ready tracks from More Life, including “Passionfruit” and “Portland,” this sleeper track remained a potent-enough secret weapon to set off any party. As a matter of fact, to hell with summer - this one’s sunny enough to brighten your playlist any time of year.Ĭarl Lamarre: Despite only charting for four weeks on the Billboard Hot 100, Drake’s island-tinged deep cut “Blem” rang off in the clubs all summer. The track about a head-over-heels crush is as fun-seeking as its goofy title implies, meshing funky piano chords with honeyed vocals from burgeoning R&B star Kehlani, and a sticky chorus that manages to squeeze in a Game of Thrones reference.

So anyone who didn’t use the season as an excuse to bump the Porland MC’s sun-drenched May release “Heebiejeebies” at full blast is missing out. Tatiana Cirisano: Everything about Aminé screams summer, from the rapper’s bubbly vibe and light-hearted lyricism to his affinity for bananas and the color yellow.
