What's your go to song right now?
If it’s an old school hip hop night DMX ruff ryders anthem. If it’s an r&b situation destiny’s child like bugg a boo or usher Yeahhhh or what’s love or ghetto romance. If it’s present stuff a bit of Cardi B, drake always makes the club bang, if it’s UK you always have to drop Giggs or Jhus. Really depends on my mood, the mood of the club before I could legit answer that question.
