Fabolous- For the Summer (off the first Summertime Shootout tape)
'93 til infinity. My boys and I came onto this song right after we were getting out of uni one year and played this song throughout the entire summer. brings back super vivid memories for me.
Here's 5 :
Larry June "Watering my Plants" ( that Roy Ayers sample )
Dezzy Hollow "Backstroke" has that summer LA cruising kinda vibe if that's your thing
Schoolboy Q " Man of the Year " its not necessarily like a summer song, but I swear I blast it at the beach erry year and it's always a party
Mac Miller "Nikes on my Feet " idk why, it's just summertime enough for me...makes me think of the boardwalk
Ramirez feat. Rocci " Gold Thangs & Pinky Rangs (Da Hooptie) " this is #1 for me, it's got that melody, good bars, gangster instrumental with some piano but that kind of produced luxury feel that's perfect for summer...hard to describe
But my g Ramiez really did hit it out tha hood with "Tha Playas Manual" and it features some others like Shakewell, and Pouya- the production on this album and the overall sound, with tracks like Lane Switching & Glitter & Gold make it a summer banger for sure.
Specifically Mrs. officer, but all of the none single tracka on Tha Carter 3, because we bumped that record all the time the summer it came out
Int'l Player's Anthem
I'm sure there are others I can't think of right now
Not hip hop but Feels Like Summer by Childish Gambino
Geto Boys - Assassins prolly because it's hot in Houston š
No hands - Waka Flocka (someone else said it recently for the so trash, but good question which made me think of it)
Broccoli - Lil Yatchy (even though I don't really like it it makes me think of summer)
679 - Fetty Wap
My PYT - Wale
A lot of Nelly joints remind me of summer:
Air Force Ones
Hot In Here
Wadsyaname
Etc.
Same can be said for a lot of G funk records. Cali is warm and judt has that slow summer vibe

Same Song- Digital Underground
For me a lot of older west coast rap screams summertime or sunny day music. Just the laid back nature of it. Quik, Dogg Pound, Snoop etc.
Itās the same for night time with grimey East coast rap like Prodigyās āHNICā album. Some music can just take you places.
For me the first individual songs that come to mind that make me think summer would be:
2Pac āI Get Aroundā
Dogg Pound āCali Iz Activeā
Dj Quik āPitch In On A Partyā
Mack 10 āBackyard Boogieā
Sublime Doin Time. Arguably ska/hip hop. It has singing, rapping and scratching. but playing Dave Mira BMX was the shit and listening to the OST during the summer is just nostalgia.
