It comes from Chance The Rapper’s excellent 2013 mixtape, “Acid Rap, ” a fitting term to describe this song’s far-out beat. If you want to have a unique and different summer from one you’ve ever had before, definitely make “Cocoa Butter Kisses” part of your seasonal soundtrack. “Cigarettes on cigarettes, my mama think I stank / I got burn holes in my memories, all my homies think it’s dank / I miss my cocoa butter kisses” - Chance The Rapper Listen To “Another Summer” by 213 Chance The Rapper – “Cocoa Butter Kisses” Their description is so on point, we can smell the burgers and hot dogs grilling on Memorial Day already. Maybe even right back to the afternoon poolside barbecues that the Long Beach crew describes so swimmingly. This track has all the necessary ingredients for a great summer song: relaxed flows from Snoop Dogg and Warren G, a smooth hook from Nate Dogg, and a soul sample from Kanye West that takes us back in the day. “It’s an affair that every state can relate to / And if you do what I do, then go on and follow suit / From Chi-Town to Diego, all the way back to NY / Stay fly, and never miss a piece of sunshine” - Warren G With everything we can learn from Kendrick’s poetry, that might be some of his best advice.

Maybe with those extra hours we have on our hands we can think more about what’s really important in our lives. What is new is its marriage to lighter material, similar to the fellow good kid, m.A.A.d city track “Swimming Pools (Drank)” and the sweet sampling of Section.80’s “Rigamortis.” Kendrick gives you lines like, “I can feel the changes, I can feel a new life / I always knew life can be dangerous…You don’t know what pain is.” Perhaps summer isn’t just a season to kill time however we want. Threaded throughout these lighter lyrics is deep, searching introspection, which is nothing new from Kendrick. His DGAF elements perfectly fit the mood of the season: forget school, forget work, forget anybody who don’t say so.
