Must Have Music #018
“We can do anything. All your wildest dreams. Up in my room. ”
LISTEN TO THIS
If you had told me a few weeks ago that my favorite song would be a 2:48 second long track from Tyga, Ty Dolla $ign, Yellowclaw and DJ Mustard, I would have told you that you're fucking high, and probably an idiot.
But...here I am again, eating my words....I can't stop listening to this track! It's got me on FIRE today. But, this song came out two years ago, and I can't stop listening to it this week. What is it? What made it stick?
Here it is: I was on a business trip to NYC this week and had the pleasure of dropping into CrossFit NYC and was squatting when I heard this song come on. It got me fired up. Great song to squat to with the lyrics: "If you're ready let's go."
Granted, this song is entirely about sex up in a stranger's room, but you can still get fired up about that, right? (that beat tho)
Anyway, I was squatting again this morning at CrossFit Southie, and this track came on AGAIN, and for the past 8 hours, I've probably played it more times than I should admit (about 40). Great track, it's most definitely on my playlist, and it should be on yours, too.
Email me a dope track that you love to squat to at: cam@voyedgerx.com or read down below for more about Yellow Claw. They're from Amsterdam, you should listen to them, they are also signed to Diplo's label and you should be into it. The best music comes out from Amsterdam (EDM-wise), but don't just take my word for it.....do some digging!
Those jackets tho.....
