That Grape Juice Exclusive: DJ Ace Unveils This Week’s #SPOTLIGHT3 From #EverythingRNB

Your boy Ace is back to give you yet another #SPOTLIGHT3. I’ll be putting you on to 3 of the hottest R&B tracks that dropped this week. Let’s get into it!

SZA – ‘I Hate U’

‘I Hate U’ has been making its rounds on TikTok for the past few weeks, despite not being officially released. This week SZA finally dropped the track, revealing on her social media that the song started off in the notes on her phone and was just somewhere to dump her thoughts. Expect to see these lyrics in Instagram captions for the foreseeable future.

Khalid – ‘Voicemail (ft. Kiana Ledé)

Khalid has blessed us with his first mixtape entitled ‘Scenic Drive: The Tape.’ The project features collaborations with the likes of Alicia Keys, Ari Lennox, and Majid Jordan. ‘Voicemail’ featuring Kiana Ledé has firmly cemented itself as my favorite track and has been on repeat since it dropped.

Mary J. Blige – ‘Good Morning Gorgeous’

The QUEEN Mary J Blige dropped not one, but two dope singles this week. The first was ‘Amazing’ featuring DJ Khaled, the second, entitled ‘Good Morning Gorgeous.’ The latter follows Mary’s trademark soulful blueprint while detailing self-love and positive affirmations, after a low point in life. Both tracks seem to signal the build-up to a new Mary album; hopefully, we’ll see that sometime in early 2022!
