POOL PARTY, CRUSH EDITION: GIVE THE AFTERNOON ITS OWN PLAYLIST

CRUSH Magazine | Orange Crush Tour × CRUSH Reloaded — Poolside Spotlight

The poolside chapter deserves its own rotation.

For this Orange Crush Tour × CRUSH Reloaded edition, we’re spotlighting “Weather Machine,” “Bops Like Mike,” and “LongIslandIcedTea.” Our proposed sequence gives each record a purpose: introduce the setting, invite a shared listening moment, and carry the conversation into the next gathering.

Three selections to audition before you settle on the afternoon’s favorites.

“WEATHER MACHINE” — SET THE SCENE

“Weather Machine” gets the opening placement.

The title makes a playful connection to an outdoor gathering, where sunshine, shade, and a place to cool off are part of the experience. That’s our editorial starting point—not a forecast, but an invitation to build a playlist around the setting.

Send the song while the crew makes plans. Let everyone hear it before deciding where it belongs in the rotation.

“BOPS LIKE MIKE” — PASS THE PICK AROUND

“Bops Like Mike” takes the middle slot.

Make this the part of the listening session where everybody gets involved. Play the record, ask who wants the link, then let someone else nominate the next song. A gathering becomes more interesting when the playlist reflects more than one person’s taste.

For listeners exploring Plug Not A Rapper, pairing “Bops Like Mike” with “Weather Machine” also provides two entry points into the same release.

“LONGISLANDICEDTEA” — THE LATE-AFTERNOON SELECTION

“LongIslandIcedTea” closes this proposed poolside sequence.

Its cocktail-referencing title gives the adult social theme an immediate connection. We’re assigning it the late-afternoon placement: friends catching up, another round of photos, and the inevitable conversation about where everybody’s heading next.

Open the record and decide whether it earns a spot in your own pool-party playlist.

ADD A VIDEO TO THE PREGAME

Before heading out, explore “Climate Controlla” on YouTube⁠ as a companion selection from the wider catalog. It gives this weather-and-poolside edition a separate video destination while the three featured songs expand the listening queue.

Give the afternoon a playlist people can take home. Share the links, compare favorites, and remember who introduced the song everybody asked about.
