It’s been a busy 2022 for Tyga as he has performed across the world, dropped music videos and released the controversial Wavy Baby sneaker with MSCHF that ended up going to court. Now, the American rapper has teamed up with Jhené Aiko and the late Pop Smoke for a new track titled “Sunshine.” This marks the first time that Tyga has worked with Aiko and the second time with Pop Smoke.

Sampling Lil Flip’s 2004 track of the same name, the song balances smooth verses from Tyga and Pop Smoke with Aiko providing vocal range on the chorus and supplementary segments. Releasing with a music video featuring all three artists, Tyga and the music video’s director, Arrad, offer nostalgic vibes from start to finish. One key moment includes a young Tyga in school as he walks through the hallways, later performing in a talent show which featured a young Pop Smoke on stage as well.

Check out the official music video above and look for more Tyga tracks to be on the way as he prepares to launch his follow-up project to 2019’s Legendary.
