We’ve been pretty high on Adelaide emcee Tkay Maidza ever since the hip hop stomp of Brontosaurus smacked us upside the head.
When you come out of the gates with a banger like that, there’s always the concern it might be a hard track to follow, but the 18 year old Zimbabwe born Australian based rapper has gone and leveled up thanks to her catchy as f**k new single U-Huh.
When you list your influences as Major Lazer & M.I.A. it’s obvious you have ridiculously good taste in music so we reached out and asked Tkay if she’d whip us up a playlist for our TGIF series…
After coming through with jam after jam after jam after… well… you get the idea, we’d be happy for Tkay Maidza to play DJ any Friday damn time she wants.
TGIF WITH TKAY MAIDZA
Tear the House Up - Zebra Katz
This is such a cool track, I pretty much know all the words to this song and if you wanna set the tone for a good time… this is a good time.
Lost and Found - AlunaGeorge
I found this song a year after I bought the album, no idea how I didn’t know this song but it’s such a jam.
Attak - Rustie feat. Danny Brown
This is so fresh and cool, the baseline is the best thing ever. I can’t help but want to dance all the time when I hear it… on Fridays. TGIF!
All Out - Anna Lunoe
So smooth and delicious makes me happy all the time.
SuperLove - Charli XCX
I feel like I’m in primary school when I’m singing the chorus… but it’s the best thing ever because I loved primary school.
Coast Is Clear - Skrillex feat. Chance the Rapper
Chance the Rapper can do no wrong… It’s the funniest song to sing of the top of your lungs. Just. So. Blunt. I love it.
Stranger - Skrillex
It has so many feels but it’s such a club track. When I hear this I feel like I’m in Europe in a club with my fur coat drinking water with the most expensive lemon in whilst this song is on… then the drop comes and all that is lost. So Good.
Matangi - M.I.A
It’s so simple get to the floor! It’s so simple get to the floor! It’s so simple get to the floor! It’s so simple get to the floor!
Crawl - Childish Gambino
TUNE!
Extraordinary - Clean Bandit
This is one of those dance-y ballads, I love it so much. I Can listen to it all day and when the weeks over its soothing but also a bangerrrr.
Birthday Song - 2 Chainz feat. Kanye West
Scrrr scrrr scrrr, you can’t not have a 2 Chainz song on your playlist. Because by the second or third listen you’ll know all the words and you’ll want to hear it every Friday.
Shabba - A$AP Ferg
I love my Trap and this goes off in clubs every time I hear it… So gangsta.
I Got U - Duke Dumont
…. I don’t really have to say anything. You already know the deal.
With Me - Cashmere Cat
This song is like a ballad, with a sick baseline that has so many feels and you just want to dance. All my friends know that this is my ringtone so everyday for me is Friday.
If I Go - Ella Eyre
My best friend and I always try to sing this song… when we play it before we go out so hard. But so good.
and here’s a couple of bonus jams that weren’t on Spotify…
Jet Blue Jet - Major Lazer
Such a catchy track. I love it. A party playlist without Major Lazer isn’t a Party.
Feel That - Vic Mensa
Lol this song is so witty…. I FEEL THAT.
Tkay’s U-Huh single is out now and can be snapped up where all good records are sold/streamed.
