Ayyyyyyyyy what a beat.

Such an incredible, uptempo mood you create with this beat.

Those EDM-esque sounds you use in this one come together so well to create that club, get ready to dance vibe.

Love that switch-up at 1:20 and then we are back at it at 1:27. And those "chants" add such a cool element to the beat.

And those sounds you integrate at 1:57 are wilddddd. Getting that blood pumping for sure.

Appreciate you taking the time and effort to create such a VIBIN entry.
