Football is one most cherished sport event in Indonesia. It is a sport where many of Indonesian put their hopes into. Despite their shortcomings, the National Team will always have a special place in every Indonesian football fan’s hearts.
Instrumentals are the backbone of any Hip Hop song. They not only provide emcees with the room to express their creativity, but also establishes the mood and rhythm in which the listeners will enjoy. For me, the steady rhythm of instrumentals are relaxing, and at times as tense as these (or perhaps its just me?), a bit of relaxation helps clear the mind. This is an instrumental mix I created a while back but never released. I hope you enjoy playing this selection, and if you're feeling creative, do freestyle over it. Have Fun!
