Nothing Is Promised - Mike Will Made-It & Rihanna

Speed: 68 bpm Recommended bpm range: 65 bpm to 70 bpm The DJ's Take: A modern, stylish single that would've fit right in on Rihanna's last album. Worth a spin in the new music portion of a pop or hipPop set, and I think it has some longer-term hit potential. Try mixing or mashing up with key-compatible tracks like: She Knows - NeYo We Dem Boyz - Wiz Khalifa Right Now (Na Na Na) - Akon Download or stream the song: Spotify playlist (songs with similar key & bpm) Apple Music iTunes Amazon

Hold Up - Beyoncé

Speed: 83 bpm Recommended bpm range: 80 bpm to 85 bpm The DJ's Take: Slower old school groove that should work at a pool party or on a reggae night. That said, females have been playing Lemonade on repeat for awhile now, so why not give them something they know on a pop night? Try mixing or mashing up with key-compatible tracks like: Better - Meghan Trainor Ride of Your Life - Tinashe Stressed Out - twenty one pilots Trumpets - Jason Derulo Wiggle - Jason Derulo Pills N Potions - Nicki Minaj Down On Me - Jeremih ft. 50 Cent Dance (A$$) Remix - Big Sean ft. Nicki Minaj Download or stream the song: iTunes Amazon

Throwback Thursday: Magnificent - Rick Ross ft. John Legend

Speed: 92 bpm Recommended bpm range:   90  to  95 bpm The DJ’s Take: Not a big Rick Ross fan, and this track didn’t exactly convert me. That said, the beat is like velvet and John Legend on the hook is like money in the bank. I also like the fake xylophones. Good for the beginning or end of a long night. If you're staying key-compatible, try mixing with: WILD - Troye Sivan DOPE - T.I. Write On Me - Fifth Harmony Running Out - Matoma ft. Astrid S Left, Right - YG My House - Flo Rida Classic Man - Jidenna Let Me Love You - Mario Download or stream the song: Spotify playlist (songs with similar key & bpm) Apple Music iTunes Amazon
