I've played this track on repeat, and with each listen, the remarkable synergy between Cordae and Anderson .Paak becomes even more apparent.

At his young age, Cordae has received praise for embodying the core values of hip hop while being able to relate with the youth through his music. What's so refreshing about "Summer Drop" is that it has a particular theme and both rappers stick to it within their verses, something that is uncommon in rap's mainstream. Over a minimal beat led by punchy drums and lively sax arrangements, Cordae and Anderson trade bars themed around their summer nostalgia - not the kind where it's all sunshine and rainbows. But rather about the sacrifices they made and the difficulties they endured throughout the season.
