The Trackrunners
“Pound For Pound”
Inhouse Records
As ideally everyone should know, Saturday May 2nd marks the superfight between pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao and junior welterweight king/Ring Champion Ricky Hatton, arguably the biggest fight of 2009. (until Floyd comes back and, hopefully, fights the winner.) I’m an avid Pac fan, but I’m also a big fan of boxing-related music, such as the Unstoppable, Undroppable, Mr Unknockoutable Roy Jones Jr (until Antonio Tarver disproved all of those theories).
While Manny Pacquiao probably isn’t much of a rapper, one bay area hip hop duo has taken care of that part for him; introducing the Trackrunners’ “Pound for Pound,” a Pacquiao-inspired joint. The song is already starting to make waves, having been played over the PA system at AT&T Park when Pacman threw out the first pitch for the Giants. And now word comes from Rei Tracks (half of the Trackrunners) that “Pound for Pound” is to be played on the final episode of Pacquiao/Hatton 24/7 (greatest show on television). With purveying rumors that Pacquiao is bumping the song during training, you could very well be getting a sneak preview of Manny Pacquiao’s ring entry song. Enjoy the music. It’s catchy as hell and will definitely get you pumped.Check out the Trackrunners and/or buy the song at Manny’s Fight Song. And watch the fight, Saturday May 2nd. It’s going to be a war. And buy the Pacman Knows shirt. And send it to me.
