## What 2 lists say

### No. 2 in [Miami Bass](https://waxonia.com/genre/miami-bass/)

Often named as the first Miami bass record proper. A train rhythm, a countdown, and low end that will damage an inadequate speaker.

### Picked by [Miami](https://waxonia.com/theme/miami/)

The starting point, and the clearest statement of what the city actually changed. The kick is not a drum here, it is the arrangement — tuned low, held long, and mixed to be felt through a car door rather than heard through a speaker.
