First Impressions: The 50 Best Hip-Hop Intro Tracks

11. Bliss n Eso – “Woodstock 2008”
Produced By Hattori Hanzo ~ Album: Flying Colours (2008)

As those drums build and Eso’s vocals emerge there’s a feeling that something dramatic is about to happen. After one crazy verse Eso passes the mic to Bliss, the drums become heavier, the guitar starts, the energy rises then boom! Things really get started.

The verses get turned up a notch, DJ IZM gets shit done on the 1’s and 2’s and the chanted chorus kicks everything up. It’s a beautiful mix that works through out the album.

For several years this song was used as an opener at the group’s live shows with that captured studio magic shining through on the stage.

This will definitely bring the gorilla out of you.

Memorable Lines:

Hear the pistols pump, hear the engine roar
That’s my heart and soul, trying to bend the law
It’s a beautiful night, to fly like a phoenix
Bang the beat and get high like I’m Jesus
