No Mercy Vol. 1


Here's the deal with this mixtape: A somebody special asked me to make another one of my highly sought after workout mixes to help him/her get swoll to. I obliged. I took a different approach with this one by throwing in the more upbeat electronic music with the Hip Hop and some rock. I alternated them instead of sectioning them out in the playlist because it gave a better flow to it in the sense of mixing in different energy levels. Because when you're working out there are definitely points where you need more motivation and big beats than other points. Also this is the kind of stuff that makes me "feel like I'm cumming"** in and outside the gym, on or off the track.

NO MERCY VOL. 1 (remember it's the blue download link in the blue box)

1. horsepower: solid start. the tone is dark enough to set some crazy goals like benching 100 lbs. more than you can imagine and yet grounding to help you realize you'd die if you did that.
2. take the power back: don't let those meat heads in the gym feel like they're the only ones with power.
3. black aura: make that stank face and keep pushing through.
4. the stroke: or the pump. this song has been a huge source of samples for hip hop. you best recognize.
5. originator: i don't care if you hate dubstep. this song will make you want to jump over buildings then go back and knock them down with your head.
6. gucci gucci: i was hesitant to put this on here but it's nice to hear someone attempt at actually rapping over this beat. the beat is too good to pass up. you know you want to feel like a baller, shot caller, in the gym with this blasting.
7. the way she moves: mustard pimp remixing a south rakkas crew joint? MASSIVE.
8. not even jets can fly: dyme def makes so many types of hip hop. and this certainly is motivating to say the least.
9. city kids: yeah, mustard pimp is on this playlist twice. yeah, he's that good.
10. beats to rhyme: mick boogie released a run d.m.c. project that remixed some classics with new mc's rapping over them. this is a standout track.
11. jump on stage: one of the few girl talk tracks i can handle. it just so happens to have that vibe to help you run for days.
12. dead meat: near the end of the playlist. finish strong.
13. city star: funny how this is one of my favorite wiz songs. this should inspire you to celebrate after a long workout.
14. the city: you can either use this as a cool down track or the final push in your workout. kendrick lamar never disappoints.
