The popular Commuter Trax: Hip-Hop/R&B playlist, with over 2,600 followers, is back with a fresh February update! Discover a curated mix of today's hottest tracks, timeless throwbacks and indie gems. This is the ultimate soundtrack for urban music lovers, designed to energize your commute and keep you moving throughout the day. This month, the playlist puts two R&B queens in the driver's seat, SZA and Coco Jones.
SZA has enjoyed a phenomenal year thus far, achieving #1 status with her critically acclaimed reissued album ‘SOS Deluxe: LANA,’ featuring the hit single ‘30 For 30’ at the #1 spot on the Hip-Hop/R&B playlist. She landed a starring role in the box office hit ‘One of Them Days’, is set to co-headline a stadium tour with Kendrick Lamar and will perform alongside him at the Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show in New Orleans, LA on Sunday February 9th at 8:00 PM ET.

Featured at the #2 position on the Hip-Hop/R&B playlist is Coco Jones' 'Here We Go (Uh Oh)'. Jones delivers a standout performance, showcasing her incredible vocal range and emotional depth. The song samples Lenny Williams' classic 'Cause I Love You (1978 Version),' resulting in a production that is extremely relatable and moving. Jones' artistry shines through in this memorable performance.

SZA and Coco Jones are just two shiny gems in the treasure trove that is Commuter Trax: Hip-Hop/R&B. Alongside talented independent artists waiting to be discovered, you'll find other chart-toppers like Muni Long, Redman, FLO, Future, Ella Mai, Kendrick Lamar, Summer Walker and GloRilla amongst many others.
