Music Mood Board: Bass-Infused Bangers That Put Your Speakers to the Test

Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion couldn't team up and not give us a bass-filled banger. And the surprise celebrity cameos in the music video are just an added bonus.

The only acceptable way of listening to this electropop bop is with the bass fully boosted — there's no other option, mkay?

I don't remember how I first heard this song a few years ago, but I definitely recall putting my stank face on as soon as the bass came in. I still listen to this often and jam out as if I've never heard it before. The Vietnamese rapper's discography is filled with beat-heavy tracks (including "N-Sao?," "Bet on Me," and "Trời Cho"), but "Đời" is one of my top picks.

If this song isn't featured in a coming of age TV show or movie, I'm throwing a fit! That's all.

NBA player JaVale McGee produced a self-titled album under the moniker Pierre in 2018, and I refuse to let anyone forget it. The 16-track LP is a slam dunk (sorry, I had to), and the song "Messi" is a hard-hitting ditty that's hyped me up for two years and counting.

This was one of my most-played songs in 2019, and it's probably going to keep that top slot this year. Whenever it comes on my Spotify, I have to blast it at least three times in a row because the bass — along with Labrinth and Zendaya's mesmerizing vocals — is too addicting.

Blackpink's beats always slap, so I was hardly surprised by my instinctual capering when they dropped "How You Like That." In fact, I'm listening to it right now while doing a little shoulder jig. Just thought you should know that.

The bass is relatively understated on this track, so you might have to turn it up to get the full effect. But once you hear it, the song's ethereal emanation is further amplified. Simply put: Cameron, Bia, and producers The Futuristics did that.
