BET Awards 2025: SZA's Best Collaborations Over The Years

SZA has solidified herself as one of the best artists in the world and a must-have guest on any record in order to make it pop.

SZA has come a long way, and after dropping her first record in 2012, the St. Louis native continues to redefine R&B with her alternative flare. She’s become one of the most sought-after guest features in music. From Travis Scott’s “Telekinesis” to Doja Cat’s “Kiss Me More,” to Kendrick Lamar’s “All The Stars,” her verses are always memorable. Whether she’s sliding over rap beats or trading vocals on pop records, SZA brings a soulful unpredictability that makes her presence feel essential.

And with every new release, she continues to challenge the boundaries of genre, storytelling, and sound. Here are a few of our favorite guest features from SZA:

  • "9"

    Willow Smith and SZA are a match made in heaven, so it's a bit disappointing we don't have many records with both of them on it. However, Smith made an excellent choice tapping SZA for her '3' project for the record, "9."

  • "Kiss Me More"

    In 2021, you couldn't go anywhere without hearing this record on the radio, out at a bar, or even in the gym. The Grammy Award-winning record saw Doja Cat deliver some intricate rap verses and puns with SZA adding her soft tone to create a sound record.

  • "luther"

    Samples these days can be a hit or miss, but Kendrick Lamar delivered a soulful classic with "luther" featuring our girl, SZA. 'If This World Were Mine' is a track with Vandross featuring Cheryl Lynn, originally a record by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell. The legends would be proud of this one.

  • "Persuasive"

    Alluring and very persuasive, Doechii was smart to add SZA's vocals to an already popular track. With SZA's verse added, the record became even more popular and is now a staple record attach to Doechii's catalog.

  • "All The Stars"

    It's hard to say this isn't one of the greatest records of all time. Lamar and SZA are true musical soulmates and this record alone made people want to go out and see Black Panther in theaters. It's a feel good record that will have you putting it on repeat.
