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.

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.
Meyhem Lauren – Special Effects (Feat. Heems & Action Bronson) [Lyrics]
Last Lifting song before three Heems-infused Metcon bangers.
[Off of Meyhem Lauren's free mixtape from 2012, Respect the Fly Shit]
Heems – Thug Handles [lyrics]
Don’t eat like Heems, duh. Good nutrition should be the foundation of any athletic pursuit.
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.]
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.)

CRUDBUMP – Crab Hand (Feat. Kool Keith)
Look, if you’re squatting high bar to this, wrap both claws around the barbell.
Cyndi Lauper – Girls Just Want To Have Fun
I’m being seriously here. If you even lift, you’ll play this during your next PR attempt.
If the bar staples you, don’t call for help. Just let your consciousness drift into the void.
See U There guyz!

Late Night Alumni – Finally Found (Max Vengeli Mix)
“This song is not on the live mix, but I could do a volume squat day to that ez. ”

Joey Bada$$ – Fromdatomb$ (Feat. Chuck Strangers)
As Lions stated in the last track posted here, “This generation is going back to roots.”
Let’s keep that vibe going with Joey Bada$$’s homage to 90s-style hip hop.
