It’s April, Spring Break has come and gone and our first official summer anthem has arrived in Drake’s women-empowering "Nice For What". It’s also 35 degrees outside in New York, which is in no way a proper temperature to celebrate the coming of warmth by way of the traditional block party, cookout, sundress day or rooftop throwdown. So we made a playlist for you—one specifically tailored to help you hunker down and overcome the remaining cold weather through sheer musical delight. These are the hottest summer jams to last you through the longest, most excruciating 2018 winter.
