Note About the Tracklist
I'm using Instrumental Hip Hop a little loosely here as a bit of an umbrella term for music that's rhythm-driven with a nice low end; there's songs that are genre-proper, stripped of their rhymes, stuff that inspired hip hop and a few tracks that were never matched with a rapper.
That said, they're all good for the gym.
