The Commuter Trax: Hip-Hop/R&B playlist on Spotify is back with a May update as it continues to be a one-stop shop for the hottest hip-hop and R&B tracks, guaranteed to get you pumped and energized for the daily grind. The Commuter Trax vision is to craft a playlist that truly gets the listener, that understands the rhythm of their commute and expands their music discovery horizons while keeping them connected to their favorite artists. This carefully curated Spotify playlist is the ultimate soundtrack for those who crave hip-hop and R&B vibes amidst the hustle and bustle.

On this month’s Daplaylister.com blog entry, we’re discussing May's #TraxOnBoard, the playlist companion found on the Commuter Trax Instagram! #TraxOnBoard is your monthly guide to the hottest tracks featured on the Commuter Trax: Hip-Hop/R&B Spotify playlist. It's a selection of 10 songs that captures the overall vibe of the playlist, giving you a taste of what you can expect any given month. Think of it as a sneak peek into the world of emerging and established artists you should be keeping your eye on. These are the tracks that will keep your head bopping and your commutes (or any trip!) energized.

Let’s get into the track featured at #1 this May, “Like That” by Future, Metro Boomin and Kendrick Lamar. “Like That” isn't just another song on Future and Metro Boomin's album. It's a fiery rap battleground where Kendrick Lamar challenges the idea of him being part of a "Big Three" of rappers alongside Drake and J. Cole. The track is intense, built on a dark beat with a sample from Eazy-E’s "Eazy Duz It” throughout. Future sets the stage with his usual brags, while Kendrick comes in hot, declaring himself the only king of current hip-hop in the lyric, “Motherf*ck the big three, n*gga, it's just big me.” He references Drake and J. Cole's recent song “First Person Shooter” and throws shade at their supposed dominance. Whether it's a full-blown diss or not, Kendrick has definitely shaken things up in the rap world. This song is a banger, but Kendrick's verse is what makes it a cultural moment! It has sparked endless debate and forced everyone to reconsider the top dogs in hip-hop. “Like That” has become a total success, even claiming the #1 spot on the Billboard charts. Over the past few weeks, rapper Drake officially released diss tracks, “Push Ups” and "Taylor Made Freestyle”, where he didn’t hesitate to take shots at Kendrick Lamar. And not too long ago, Kendrick clapped back with his “Euphoria” diss. Either way you put it, the fans just can’t get enough. Do you think the beef will be over soon?

Will Drake and Kendrick Lamar make up or stay foes?

• No Way! They're foes for life.
• They'll make up.
