Summer In Stereo #62

In Pigeons & Plane's genre-hopping 50 Best Summer Songs countdown from 2012, T.I.'s "What You Know" came in at #37 and this was their final word on it:
It’s a summer song because if the Sun made a rap beat it would sound a little like this.

HERC's 2006 go-to hip-hop three-play continues with Chamillionaire's "Ridin' ", a chart-topper in the Summer of 2006:

Although never officially a part of the above cruisin' triplet, Christina Milian's "Say I" was often played after "Hate It Or Love It".  What you know about that?
