With Beyonce's raw and honest vocals singing over a keyboard, makes this track all worth while. She brings light to the reality of the ups and downs that her marriage has experienced.

Dealing with the death of a few friends and personal issues, Polo G remember almost going insane from the everything that was going on around him. This is his story.
6. Cocoa Butter Kisses x Chance The Rapper (Ft. Vic Mensa & Twista)
Chance the Rapper, who recently made his "Acid Rap" mix tape available on all music platforms, takes us down memory lane when he remembers the scent of Cocoa Butter lotion and his mother's soft and sweet kisses. Due to Chance's rebel behavior and involvement of drugs, his mom stopped giving those kisses because of the loud stench began to have. He tells us that he wish he would've never did drugs so that he could still get that nurturing affection from his mom. Thank God for Acid Rap and all of the Chance The Rapper fans know what I mean.
7. LOVE x Kendrick Lamar (Ft. ZACARI)
We see Kendrick express his love for a woman who, in reality, is his long-time girlfriend and now fiancee Whitney Alford. In contrast to his song LUST, which is the previous song before LOVE on the album "DAMN" , Kendrick explains the two as having entirely different meanings and perceptions. While integrating his own version of the familiar concept of 50 cents' "21 Questions" K.Dot questions to see if the love is genuine and unconditional. He shows his undoubted love and willingness to be with her forever.
8. Lost x Chance The Rapper (Ft. Noname)
Chance tells us about two people who aren't the ideal romantic types but, still loves the presence and vibes that each other brings. He explains his love for drugs and the experiences he's had with them while referring to the girl as his "druggie" Noname adds the perfect vibe to this track with her authenticity and undefeated lyricism.
9. idontwannabeyouanymore x Billie Eilish
Billie takes us in depth on her insecurities and lack of self-confidence. She sees herself as someone who she doesn't want to be while others look at her and wish they were her. Billie is talking to her reflection in the mirror, as she tries to convince herself that she has self-confidence already inside and that everything is fine, in which, we see it's clearly not. This is what really goes on in the mind of Billie and she makes it known that this is personal.
10. Juke Jam x Chance The Rapper (Ft. Justin Bieber & TOWKIO)
Here, we see Chance go back into time to where he was too young to become intimate in an actual relationship. He remembers how he had a girlfriend that would always argue with him and tell him that he flaps his trap too much. They would always go to this popular skating rink that was located in Chicago. Chance also explains what "juking" is in which it's when a girl grinds her butt on a guy to a song.
11. The Worst Guys x Childish Gambino (Ft. Chance The Rapper)
Childish Gambino and Chance The Rapper's long term friendship resulted in another collaboration but, this time touching basis on being young, wild, and free. With the hook being unfinished, the two challenged fans to finish the rest of the sentence. The video shows the two taking a trip to the beach to go surfing as well as taking part in a oceanic smoke session. While enjoying some wings and chilling with their friends, night hits and the gang gets possession of Lightsabers (which are Star Wars weapons commonly) 'Twas a lituation from there.
12. Karrueche x Tory Lanez
Relaxing the vibe a bit, Tory Lanez expresses his unapologetic yearning for Karreuche. After she'd broke up with Chris Brown, it was said that she was a free-agent. Tory felt it was time to let the world know that he had a thing for her. Surprisingly, he wasn't expecting a particular response from Karrueche. However, she did acknowledge the song and thought it was dope. Which was more than enough for Tory. He is just expressing how he felt. What wrong is in that?
