Before the coronavirus canceled school for the rest of the semester, I was eagerly anticipating the second season of Henry Clay boys volleyball to the point where I even created a pregame playlist to listen to before games. So, I guess being able to use it for a blog post is the next best thing.
- “m.A.A.d city (feat MC Eiht)” by Kendrick Lamar. This song, especially the opening beat, is high-tempo motivation for any game, especially ones against local rivals.
- “Victory Lap (feat. Stacy Barthe)” by Nipsey Hussle. This is one of three songs in the playlist from the late Nipsey’s last album and since it’s a little slower it provides a great beat for some meditation and envisioning before a game. It’s important to get in the right mindset before I step out on the court.
- “Run This Town (feat. Rihanna and Kanye West)” by Jay-Z. This song has it all. A good beat, three of the most prominent rappers in today’s culture, and great lyrics. A definite add to any game day playlist.
- “Dedication (feat. Kendrick Lamar)” by Nipsey Hussle. Another fast-paced song to get me in the game-time mindset.
- “Pressure (feat. Fenix Flexin and OhGeesy)” by Shoreline Mafia. This group of controversial rappers (including the recently deceased Mac P Dawg) always raps about sticking together as a team and working hard to make money. A great anthem for game time.
- “Keyz 2 the City 2 (feat. TeeFlii)” by Nipsey Hussle. My personal favorite in the Victory Lap album is saved for last. It’s the best song for walking out of any locker room in my opinion.
The warm-up period ends pretty soon, so this is about all I’ll have time for.
