GTG Music Playlist

The GTG playlist is a collection of recommended songs that the GTG staff assembles every week or so. Since we understand that finding the newest Asian slammin' beats is a tough task to do, let us help you. Us GTGers listen to a ton of Asian music - some awesome music and some, well... not as great, so we'll try our best to steer you guys clear of the "not so great" stuff. What you'll expect to generally see is: we choose a music genre, choose our songs, and go in-depth as to why we picked these said songs. See the suggestions our musically diverse cast and check out our picks!
