Sauce Walka has been celebrating his inclusion on JAY-Z‘s “Couple Songs of 23” playlist, and the Houston rapper shared his delight with his fans.

The “Ghetto Gospel” rapper took to his Instagram on Sunday (December 24) to shout Hov out — literally.

“JAY-Z PUT ME ON HIS PLAYLIST! JAY-Z PUT ME ON HIS PLAYLIST! JAY-Z PUT ME ON HIS PLAYLIST!” he screamed in a video, while holding up his phone to show the playlist cover. “THESE MY GRAMMYS! THESE MY GRAMMYS! THESE MY GRAMMYS!”

Sauce Walka’s song “Love” was one of the 40 tracks that JAY-Z handpicked for his annual playlist, which also featured songs by Drake, Kanye West, Nas, Lil Baby, Tyler, The Creator, and more.

The playlist was released exclusively on TIDAL, the streaming service that JAY-Z co-owns and recently sold a majority stake to Square, Inc. for $297 million.

Sauce Walka, who is also the founder of the Sauce Factory collective, has been making waves in the rap scene for years, with his distinctive style and charisma. He is known for his beefs with Drake, Young Thug, and 21 Savage, as well as his philanthropic efforts in his hometown.

He recently released his latest album, Sauce Train, in November, which features guest appearances from Trippie Redd, Sada Baby, Rico Nasty, and more.

Sauce Walka is not the only rapper who expressed gratitude for being on JAY-Z’s playlist. Benny The Butcher, who had two songs on the list (“Thanksgiving” and “Survivor’s Remorse” with Rick Ross), also took to Twitter to thank Hov for the recognition.

“Hov put 2 of my records on his playlist … I’m not even gon lie that shit feel crazy,” he wrote.

JAY-Z has been known to show love to emerging and established artists alike with his playlists, which often reflect his eclectic taste and influence in the music industry. He also curates playlists for special occasions, such as his birthday, Valentine’s Day, and Black History Month.
