That month, Ozuna and Kali Uchis shared a new song called “Another Day in America.” In December, Wizkid dropped a new song with Burna Boy called “B. d’Or.” Anderson .Paak was last seen playing drums in the house band at Super Bowl LVI; Silk Sonic, his group with Bruno Mars, released a cover of “Love’s Train” on Valentine’s Day.
