Summer 2022 may be slowly coming to an end, but Tyga is determined to keep us vibing all the way until the end, courtesy of his brand new track that samples an early-2000s classic. Sunshine is the new song and video from Tyga, featuring Jhen Aiko and Pop Smoke, while sampling the Lil Flip hit of the same name.
Tyga took a break from his usual twerk-heavy party anthems in favor of a more slowed-down R&B-infused track that takes it back to those summer days riding around in a drop-top. Sunshine samples Lil Flips 2004 jam and also features a cameo from him in the videoa nice way to pay homage, which so often goes overlooked these days.
As Jhen Aiko provides the soft vocals that supply the hook, the late Pop Smoke has an unreleased verse on the track that his fans will likely appreciate. Speaking about adding Pop to the song, Tyga said Pop Smoke was a legend in the making and I wish we couldve collaborated together more. Its a been a great experience working with his mother and brother to pay homage with this song and contributing to keeping his legacy alivethe smoke will never clear.
Tyga also made a lasting impression on Pop Smokes mother, who thanked him for including her son on Sunshine. Since I will not get to see him mature into the artist he was on his way to becoming. I appreciate the opportunity to hear a sound that I glimpsed on theFaithalbum. Themagnitude of this moment is not lost on me. Thank you, she said.
