What's a summer without a soundtrack?  

Thanks for Dimitri R. Young, you don't have to worry about it! Young has created a dope playlist on Apple Music entitled "#ForTheCulture: Negro SpirLITuals of the Century."

And, ya'll?

IT. IS. LIT.

This playlist features a great mix of songs to get you into that summer mood. Summer equals PEAK "carefree," and this playlist is the perfect soundtrack to compliment your joy.

Let's dive into some of the playlist.

"Knuck If You Buck" and "Swag Surfin'?"

Listen!!!

Both are pivotal additions because if your summer function don't add these to the set, you're missing out on an iconic group activity. These songs are sure to get the entire crowd involved in formation like a blackety black Voltron. 

Or let's talk about "Back That Azz Up." Best believe when you hear the first chords of the Juvie classic, you are going to trip over yourself — and others — to get onto that dance floor. 

This list ain't even just for parties, kickbacks or cookouts, either.

You can rev this up for all manner of summer fun such as hanging at the beach, going for a run or even dancing around in your nicely air-conditioned crib.

There's classics like Montell Jordan and LL Cool J and then the list smoothly brings you up to the present with Kendrick, Migos, 2 Chainz and even Wacka. There's tracks to spazz out too and tracks to snuggle up with your summer bae.

And we're not the only ones lovin' this playlist! 

So yeah, if you don't add this playlist to your arsenal, you're doing summer wrong. Bless up!
