Rap songs are a
staple on the best exercise mixes. They’re the perfect musical choice to get
you moving to the beat, motivated to work, and sweating up a storm. The strong,
steady beat that underlies all rap songs
provides a reliable tempo to which you can match your movement. It keeps your
work out to a steady and manageable pace while providing you with the
distraction offered by listening to the music you enjoy.

angry would be perfect. Try some of these:
