Called “2020 Vision COVID 19,” the cover of the 40-track playlist features tennis player Naomi Osaka wearing a mask bearing the name “George Floyd,” honoring the unarmed Black man that was killed by police officers in May. The playlist features a wide range of rap and RB from some of the biggest artists in the game. Songs like “We Paid” by Lil Baby and 42 Dugg and “Laugh Now Cry Later" by Drake and Lil Durk make the cut, as well as The Weeknd’s “Snowchild” and “Lost One” by Jazmine Sullivan.
Afrobeat artist Burna Boy also makes an appearance with “Onyeka (Baby).” And, of course, it would only be right for Beyoncé, his legendary wife, to make the cut with “BLACK PARADE.” Jay-Z dropped the playlist a day before his birthday on Dec 4. He celebrates his 51st year on this Earth.
