Alfamega is on deck for the burgeoning Grand Hustle dynasty. How well he fares next to T.I. and Young Dro is yet to be determined. But his press release does entice one to find out: "Your favorite book, whether it is a classic novel or a modern-day bestseller, only has two guarantees when it's all said and done—a beginning and an ending. Of course the reading experience would be bland if those were the only highlights. It's the chapters in between them that supply the color, twists, turns and climax that make them interesting. So even though Grand Hustle recording artist Alfamega's name may suggest that he is simply a be all end all, you'd be foolish to think that his life's story or his debut album I Am Alfamega is a flat line." Oh really?
Editor's note: Working out is essential to a healthy life. And it's no secret that music is a gives a good boost on those days one feels like slacking. Instead of giving my playlist of songs that'd pump me up on my workout, I chose to get a female perspective on this. I asked some of my (lady) friends why they listen to music when they workout and a lady acquaintance, Fire, provided her playlist: 15 of the songs she worked out too in one session.
What they said The reasons for listening to music are numerous. I asked a few of my friends for theirs and I got similar answers. They are not necessarily a reflection of women in the gym accross the world, but I'd bet most would concur. Here are some of the top reasons they listen to music:
To avoid the guys that choose the gym to exercise their pickup lines.
To savor their favorite music. (Something they might not be able to do in their busy schedule.)
To get pumped up before and during the workout
To avoid boredom and fight the notion time elapsing (too) slowly
