Megan Thee Stallion), and more. Read on for all the hip hop and hip hop-adjacent songs we posted this week…

SWEDISH HOUSE MAFIA AND THE WEEKND – "MOTH TO A FLAME"

One day after it was more or less revealed that Swedish House Mafia are playing and probably headlining Coachella 2022, the trio put out a new song featuring lead vocals by 2018 Coachella headliner The Weeknd. SHM cater to the moody, '80s-style synthpop that's become The Weeknd's calling card in recent years, and it basically sounds like a great new Weeknd single.
