Today’s Hits

If a friend hasn’t tried to sell you on Dallas vocalist 4batz’s “act ii: date @ 8” in the past couple of months, do you really have any friends at all? The song has spread like wildfire since the singer’s appearance on YouTube platform From the Block in late December and would seem to still be gaining fans. Before very recently, it might have been hard to say who the most famous of these converts was, but as of about a week ago, it’s Drake. For the official “act ii: date @ 8 (remix),” The Boy pushes things in an even sultrier direction, switching the beat up to something closer to the ’90s R&B of groups like Jodeci, Dru Hill, and Jagged Edge—artists both Drake and 4batz are on record lauding as influences. Drake, of course, has already soundtracked entire eras, but with any luck, kids way off in the future will be claiming to have grown up on 4batz as well. In the meantime, listen to “act ii: date @ 8 (remix)” on Today’s Hits, home to the biggest songs in pop, hip-hop, R&B, and more.
