Yung Bleu, Drake & Ty Dolla $ign Slide On This Week’s “R&B Season” Playlist
It’s Sunday so you already know it’s that time, once again. We’re back with another update of our R&B Season playlist that offers only the latest tracks in R&B and Soul that you should be vibing out to. Plus, it’s Sunday. It’s only right that you close out the weekend with some soothing vibes before you enter another week. Here’s the rundown:
Yung Bleu has been one of the hottest names in the South right now, having previously signed a deal with Boosie and recently linking a management deal with Meek Mill’s Dream Chasers. While his name is relatively fresh in the game, he received a co-sign for Drake that appeared in the form of a verse on “You’re Mne Still.” Bleu dropped off the remix to his single on Friday following much anticipation throughout the week.
Unfortunately, we didn’t get an album from Ty Dolla $ign that many hoped for. After changing the title to his forthcoming album to Featuring Ty Dolla $ign, an appropriate title following his dominance in the past two years alone, the rapper delivered a breezy West Coast cut with assistance from some familiar faces, Mustard and Jhene Aiko. The three artists connect on “Be Yourself.”
Justin Bieber blessed the SNL stage last night alongside Chance The Rapper but just before that, his new collaboration with Benny Blanco hit DSPs, “Lonely.” It was only right that Biebervelli made his way onto this week’s R&B Season playlist.

Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Halftime Show Just Swept The Emmys
Bad Bunny is officially an Emmy winner — and not just once. At Saturday’s Creative Arts Emmys, his Super Bowl LX Halftime Show swept every single category it was nominated in, all seven of them, making it the most-decorated nominee of the night.
The headline win was Outstanding Variety Special (Live), a category the show became only the third halftime show ever to claim. From there it just kept going: music direction, choreography, sound mixing, lighting design, technical direction and camerawork, and directing all went home with the Puerto Rican star’s team. There’s technically an eighth trophy with his name attached, too, though it won’t land in his hands — the “Saturday Night Live” episode he hosted last season separately won Outstanding Makeup for a Variety, Nonfiction, or Reality Program.
The sweep is good news for Jay-Z as well. As an executive producer on the halftime show, he now has two Emmys to his name, having previously won for producing Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl LIX performance in 2025 — the show that, until Saturday, held the record for most Emmys won by a Super Bowl performance.
Bad Bunny wasn’t the only one having a night. Sabrina Carpenter picked up her first Emmy as a performer and executive producer on “The Muppet Show,” edging out Taylor Swift’s “The Eras Tour | The Final Show” for Outstanding Variety Special (Pre-Recorded). The Billy Joel HBO miniseries “And So It Goes” won for sound mixing on a nonfiction program, and 50 Cent’s Diddy documentary “Sean Combs: The Reckoning” took home picture editing honors. A big weekend for live spectacle, all around.

Kanye West Joins Chicago Ceremony Honoring His Mother With Dr. Donda West Way
Kanye West was in Chicago for a street naming ceremony honoring his late mother, Dr. Donda West, and celebrating her lasting contributions to the city, her impact on education and the arts, and her influence on her son’s life.
A portion of 78th Street bears the official designation of Dr. Donda West Way, an appropriate tribute to a woman whose legacy remains deeply entangled with Chicago. Local news covered the ceremony, attended by community leaders, and Ye could be seen clapping in the background, wearing shades, as the new street sign was unveiled.
The event celebrated Donda West’s accomplishments and her impact on the people in her life. It was also a moment of profound personal significance for Kanye. His mother played a large part in building his confidence and supporting his musical ambitions, leading him down the path that would ultimately make him one of the most recognizable artists in music.
West had already paid tribute to his mother in his 2021 album Donda. The project took 10 years to complete, the amount of time it took Ye to process her tragic passing. Donda’s voice is present throughout the album, adding another personal element to a project centered on her memory and legacy.

The Chicago ceremony falls during a busy time for West. The artist is on a world tour and played a couple of shows in Chicago just a few weeks ago. Despite the ongoing controversy about his recent past and public reception, his repeated returns to the stage have underscored the enduring size of his audience.
Currently, the unveiling of Dr. Donda West Way is not about music but about celebrating Donda West’s life and accomplishments and the impact she continues to have through the legacy she left behind.
