Memorial Day is an excellent time to reconnect with family and friends as you head to your local beaches, boardwalks, and parks to welcome the sunshine and relaxation as the unofficial start of summer begins. Even if you've decided to stay home with your indoor grill and big screen TV, you can still have a dope time hanging out with your crew. Either way, nothing is going to stop the cookout from commencing! 

Bring the potato salad, burgers, and cocktails and leave the music and party vibes to BET.com from old-school classics and new-school gems; our Memorial Day playlist has something for everyone. Here's your ultimate music playlist for the cookout or family indoor fun—the only soundtrack you'll need to start the party.
