10 Potential Summer Smashes Of 2015

Every Summer, certain stand-out tracks become your “jam”. We are talking about songs that once played, everything is lit. Whether you’re at an event, a barbecue or a club, they get you moving, no matter what type of lituation you are partaking in. Whether the song has a catchy hook, dope melody, or hard drums; it embodies the Summer vibe. You can feel the warm weather and even better vibes once the track drops. We all come together and bop to it or shout the lyrics in unison. Although you may have a few in your mind, we’ve taken the initiative and compiled a list of songs (in no order) that are heating up and have the potential to become anthems this Summer.

Kendrick Lamar Shakes Up The Super Bowl With Bold Drake Diss And Surprise Guests

Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl 59 halftime performance was nothing short of legendary, leaving fans buzzing with surprise cameos and bold moments that took his long-running feud with Drake to new heights. Kicking off with an unreleased song snippet and followed by “Squabble Up” from his latest album GNX, Kendrick immediately set the tone for a game-changing performance. Fans eagerly waited to see if Kendrick would play his diss track Not Like Us, especially with Drake's ongoing lawsuit against him and his label for defamation and harassment. Lamar's performance included an unexpected appearance by SZA and a quirky cameo from Serena Williams, along with Samuel L. Jackson’s comedic interruptions, all building the suspense around the Drake drama. In the middle of his performance, Kendrick turned up the heat, looking straight into the camera and directly addressing Drake with his famous lyrics, “I heard you like them young," as fans held their breath. Despite the tension, Kendrick censored himself when it came time to call Drake a "certified lover boy" and avoided saying “pedophile,” which had been widely speculated. Social media lit up with mixed reactions, with some fans mocking the performance as a "mid mashup" and others noting the intense hostility toward Drake. With the hashtag #KendrickBowl trending, it’s clear that Kendrick’s performance was a cultural moment that pushed boundaries—but has he gone too far, or is this just another chapter in hip-hop history? Only time will tell, and Drake has yet to respond.

OMI – ‘Cheerleader’

The first song on our list ain’t even Rap. ‘Cheerleader’ by Jamaican artist OMI is actually a song from 2012 but it got that extra boost when it was remixed by German producer Felix Jaehn late last year. Since then, the song has topped the charts in Australia, UK, Germany and a few other countries. It is only now that the Dancehall song has started to gain traction in the U.S. The song is catchy, the lyrics are sweet and the sound embodies the Summer vibe in a damn perfect way. We predict this one to be at least a top 5 song on Billboard Hot 100.

Boogie – ‘Oh My’

Since we’re on the topic of songs that say “oh my”, let’s discuss Boogie’s latest banger ‘Oh My’. This is a stand-out track which is the first single off the Long Beach, California rapper’s upcoming debut album The Reach, set to drop this Summer. It exemplifies a catchy hook, smooth flow, and Jahlil Beats production — which is a deadly combination. ‘Oh My’ has the potential to be hotter than the grill you’re barbecuing on. As soon as the song starts, you know you’re about to hear some heat. It has the quintessential trap sound; Hard 808s, blaring synths, and hi-hats galore. We’ve personally seen the energy in the crowd when this came on at a club this past weekend. Everyone had their drinks in the air while vibing to the music. It had the crowd shouting, “Oh My Goodness! Oh My!”, in unison. That is the definition of what a Summer jam should be.
