Music Always Nice
Leon T. Pearl – Take You to Market
Last week I hit a high-bar squat PR while Whitney Houston was playing. No coincidence, I set the track before getting under the bar.
I like to PR to weird shit. Deal with it.
Enjoy this hard-to-categorize new artist while squatting. It could always be weirder.

Sippin on Crushed Grapes
Nas – Affirmative Action (Feat. The Firm)
You miss Heems week?
Yeah, me too, friend.
I was watching an old interview that Nardwuar did with Das Racist where Heems said that this song was on the first cassette tape he ever bought because he liked the beat so much.

Das Racist – Girl [Lyrics]
I think you’ll find that multi-talented Fahim Anwar owns this educational video.
Why educational?
It teaches you how to dance, fight, and most importantly, how to love.
Hope you enjoyed Heems Week!
Yellow
Weekend Money – Yellow (Feat. Heems)
The beat knocks and that cut up siren kills me.
Only Sort of Home
Das Racist – You Oughta Know By Now [Lyrics]
Wake up– we’ve got some silly boys on an uptempo beat–it’s the first of the month.

Game Genie
Meyhem Lauren – Special Effects (Feat. Heems & Action Bronson) [Lyrics]
Last Lifting song before three Heems-infused Metcon bangers.

Junk Food Game
Heems – Thug Handles [lyrics]
Don’t eat like Heems, duh. Good nutrition should be the foundation of any athletic pursuit.
Rap Rap, Rap Rap, Hip-Hop, Rap
Heems – Tell Me (Feat. Childish Gambino) [lyrics]
I love the intro to this track.
Plenty of jokes throughout. All the chuckles it causes is too distracting at the moment, but once I can just let the music wash over me instead of actively listening, it’s going in the metcon rotation.
And how bout that sample.
That Drone Cool
Heems – Soup Boys (Pretty Drones) [lyrics]
It’s Heems Week here at Metcon Music.
I’m on a de-load week, so it’s time to relax a little bit.
Each day, I’ll post another song that Himanshu the Shayar either wrote or is featured in.
[This track is from Wild Water Kingdom, Heems' free mixtape released late 2012. It's worth your time.]
Let Me Not Give Up the Location
Dom Kennedy – CDC (Feat. Casey Veggies & cARTer)
My point here is–close your eyes sometimes. Feel what you’re actually doing as you lift.
(Casey Veggies has a new mix tape here.)
