By: Alex Wojcik and Davis Fulling
Need new songs to add to your workout music rotation? Sick of having to SharePlay with your gym bro because your workout playlist is overplayed? Mixtape has got you covered. Here are just a few of the hype tracks on our workout playlist. Check out the Spotify link below to see the entire playlist.
Nightcrawler - Travis Scott, Chief Keef, Swae Lee
No song represents the “going to work” mentality of hitting the gym like the industrial sounds and pounding 808s of this absolute trap classic. One of Travis’s most underrated songs on the breakout album Rodeo, this five minute banger will absolutely get you through your toughest set.
New Magic Wand - Tyler, The Creator
The perfect song for if you use your hate for your ex as motivation when lifting. Still a hype song if you don’t.
Wat it feel lykë - Yeat
Easily one of the best produced and most energizing songs of the year. Just about all of Yeat’s discography could’ve made this list.
Just in Time - JID, Kenny Mason, Lil Wayne
“I got the time today, b*tch, I got the time.” A must have mentality for all gym rats, this song will keep you in the gym and make you want to go back to the gym and lift to this song.
Who Gon Stop Me - Kanye West, Jay-Z
“Only person stopping me is me.” Another great song for shaping your workout mentality.
Brambleton – Pusha T
Pusha T and Pharrell never fail to bring the energy.
Awake – Tkay Maidza, JPEGMAFIA
The grimy distorted bass, along with possibly JPEGMAFIA’s best feature, is a perfect combination to get you ‘awake’ at the gym.
Automatic – Freddie Gibbs
Nothing to be said here. Freddie Gibbs just does it best.
1Train – A$AP Rocky
You can’t go wrong with a seven-verse posse cut produced by hit-boy.
P.A.T. – Denzel Curry
This is the kind of song someone would commit arson to.
