Labor Day brings out the grills, the drinks, American pride but most importantly, the jams. And even though this year carries the asterisk that is the coronavirus social distancing guidelines, there are still innovative means — Zoom, anyone? — to get together with family and friends and turn up to colossal highs.

The best way to do so is fairly simple. With everyone wanting to relive the golden era of the ’90s and beyond, nostalgia is in the air. As time has proven, hip-hop has managed to stand the test of time.

Some of the biggest barbecue jams are over 20 years old, but they still touch every listener today. There are also some more recent offerings to keep things contemporary.

Scroll down to check out our classic Labor Day BBQ playlist, as curated separately by Spotify and Tidal streaming platforms.
