6 Dream Music Collaborations We Need Before the Year Ends

Music fans love pretending they care about artistic integrity until their favorite artist announces a collaboration they never saw coming. Then suddenly everyone becomes an expert in why two people from completely different genres, countries, languages, and tax brackets absolutely belong on the same song.

And honestly? Sometimes they’re right. Some of the best collaborations ever made looked ridiculous on paper before becoming undeniable once they hit the speakers. This got us thinking: if the rules no longer exist and the algorithm has already broken our brains, why not dream a little bigger?

From pairings that make perfect sense to ones we’d like to hear purely out of curiosity, here are six dream music collaborations we are manifesting before the year ends.

Saint Levant and Elton John

Stranger things have happened. One of them, incidentally, was Elton John making a song with Young Thug. Saint Levant already operates at the intersection of cultures, languages, and sounds, while Elton has spent the last fifty years proving he’s willing to collaborate with just about anyone if the music is right. Would it work? No clue. Would we want to try it out just for science? 100%.

ShoreLineMafia and KissFacility

Opposites are said to attract, therefore, pairing one of Los Angeles’ most chaotic rap collectives with one of the Arab World’s most exciting underground exports feels strangely logical. Shoreline Mafia’s bass-heavy, party-starting energy and Kiss Facility’s genre-blurring, internet-native approach exist on different sides of the music spectrum, but somewhere in that gap sits a collaboration that would either make it or break. Put it this way, if Chief Keef and Katy Perry managed to link up, I don’t see why ShoreLine and KissFacility couldn’t.

Zepekesuave and Zeina

The Levant and Latin America have been exchanging cultural influences for generations, so pairing one of the region’s most exciting pop voices with one of Argentina’s fastest rising stars doesn’t feel all that far-fetched. Both baddies in their own right, Zeina and Zepekesuave have the kind of confidence that feels tailor-made for the same record. A little flirtatious, a little tab-tab, and a lot of attitude would be more than enough to make this one work.

Gunna and Nisy

At this point, we’re convinced Gunna could slide onto just about any beat and somehow make it work. Pair him with NISY, however, and things get particularly interesting. Both artists share a knack for making genre boundaries feel largely optional, drifting between rap, melody, and whatever else sounds good in the moment. In them we trust.

Tul8te and Ricky Martin

Look, we’re not saying this makes sense. We’re saying we’d like to hear it anyway. Tul8te has spent the last few years proving he can turn almost any emotion into a hit, while Ricky Martin has spent the better part of three decades making people dance through theirs. Somewhere between Tul8te’s heartbreak-heavy lyricism and Martin’s undeniable pop instincts sits a crossover that could either leave us emotionally devastated or dancing against our will. Ideally it’d do both.

ElGrandeToto and Lil Wayne

Arguably the only one on this list that really makes sense, which is precisely why we’re surprised it hasn’t happened already. ElGrandeToto has never hidden his admiration for American rap, while Lil Wayne’s influence can be heard in pretty much every corner of modern hip-hop, Morocco included. More importantly, both rappers share the same instinct for bending flows, switching pockets, and sounding completely unbothered while doing it. If anyone on this list feels destined to end up on the same record eventually, it’s these two.
