The Best Songs of 2024 (So Far)
A juicy diss track, an unadorned ballad, and a confident rock anthem.

Over a brooding, thudding Tay Keith beat, the St. Louis rapper becomes her own cheerleader: “Walkin’ through the club lookin’ like a snack (But you knew that though)”; “Catch me slidin’ in a Benz”; “Go on, Sexyy, do your dance.” Like “SkeeYee” and “PoundTown” ( and “Hellcat SRTs” and “Rich Babby Daddy”), every line here is quotable.
