Hijack that aux cord, we’ve got playlists

The Come Up Show/Cc-by-2.0 Vince Staples has become one of hip hop’s most promising young acts.

Many college students — myself included — are constantly listening to music. Whether intended for your strolls to class, your lowest moments in the library or your most uncivilized weekend nights, playlists are crucial to any student’s routine. They allow you to listen to music with the same vibe for hours without restricting you to the same one or two artists or albums.

This week I offer you several playlists I have created specifically for this issue of The News-Letter. Hopefully they can provide some source of inspiration for your own playlist curation.

Friday night pregame:

2000’s hip hop

Honestly you can and should add Nelly’s discography and anything by Lil Jon to this list. This is the perfect playlist to pregame to; All the glorious music of middle school with only some of the awkwardness!

Saturday night party:

Contemporary favorites

Select a genre or school of music and pick out the tracks that are as hype and recognizable as possible.

Sunday in the library:

Ambient/classical

When studying make sure you pick albums that are not distracting but also not super boring or droning.
