Crate Expectations: Nick Catchdubs

THUMP: What’s one song that quickly takes you back to your college years?
Nick Catchdubs: The week I moved into my freshman dorm, I picked up a DJ Clue mixtape with a blend of Christina Aguilera’s “Genie In A Bottle” over Nas’ “Nastradamus” instrumental. It’s not on YouTube but A$AP Yams (RIP) posted it on his Tumblr once. Ludacris’ “Southern Hospitality” is right up there too. Proustian!

When playing a tailgate party BBQ, what are two songs that you can’t go wrong mixing together?
I like looping up French Montana saying “put in work, put in work” from A$AP Ferg’s “Work” remix, pretty much anything at that tempo sounds good mixed in. I’m partial to Jay-Z “Big Pimpin,” especially if there’s some “super seniors” in the crowd.

What is without doubt the best tailgate BBQ anthem ever made?
Waka Flocka “Grove Street Party” is the best everything anthem ever made.

What’s your favorite sports pump up song?
You can’t go wrong with The Ramones when rooting for the New York Football Giants.

Which of your own tracks do you think best captures the college party tailgate vibe?
B.I.C. would disown me if I didn’t say “Wuts That”.

What’s your favorite sports victory song?
ANOTHER ONE.

What’s one track that you plan on playing out on the Game Day tour, and why.
ManMan Savage’s “Takin Shots”. It just goes so hard!
