Drake, Lil Yachty, and Joey Bada$$ kick off the star-studded new update to HotNewHipHop’s Fire Emoji playlist. With Drake, his song, “Search & Rescue,” leads the way while Joey provides “Fallin’” and Yachty contributes “Strike (Holster).” Other artists to land spots on the newest Fire Emoji include NBA YoungBoy, Conway the Machine, and more.
With Drake’s newest song, the cover art notably features a lookalike of Kim Kardashian. He previously sampled Kanye West’s ex-wife during a snippet of a recent song titled “Rescue Me.” “I didn’t come this far just to come this far and not be happy. Remember that,” she says in an audio clip taken from Keeping Up With The Kardashians. The song comes as Drake prepares to hit the road for his upcoming It’s All A Blur tour with 21 Savage. The Toronto rapper previously collaborated with 21 Savage on their album, Her Loss, in 2022. They also performed together at Harlem’s Apollo Theater.

As for Yachty, his single, “Strike (Holster),” comes as his first rap song since taking a psychedelic-rock turn on his 2023 album Let’s Start Here. A snippet of the song first emerged last year and it’s been a highly-requested release from his fans in the time since. It arrives despite Yachty recently remarking to Billboard, “Fuck any of the albums I dropped before this one.” He later clarified on Twitter that he meant no disrespect to rap. “It’s not about respecting rap, it’s about being respected as more than a rapper,” he said. “I create music in more than just that lane.”
In recent weeks, several songs from the deluxe version of Tyler, The Creator’s latest album, Call Me If You Get Lost: The Estate Sale, made the Fire Emoji cut. Juice WRLD’s posthumous single, “The Light,” also was highlighted, as well as multiple songs off of JPEGMAFIA and Danny Brown’s recent collaborative album, Scaring The Hoes.
