fast
Inspiration: Time for a THEME RIDE…this one hour mix is based on music used in the 7-movie FAST & FURIOUS franchise. The most recent FURIOUS 7 has the best collection of music, but there are other great riding tracks from the other six movies. I think I found the perfect mix…check it out, go FAST, go FURIOUS! As for the video, several good ones to pick from that feature many of the action scenes, but the one at the end of the post is worth a look. Have a great Memorial Day weekend.
Genre: Pop, Rock, Alternative, Dance.
