25 Songs That Will Keep Your NYE’s Party Rocking by :@niksofly

With New Years being around the corner, the last hoorah is creeping upon us. Some of us will celebrate NYE at the hottest club in our cities while others may enjoy a cozy night with our dearest friends and family members. If you are like me, the latter will occur.  Staying in doesn’t mean your celebratory needs should go unmet. Good food, a nice bar and great music will ensure that your intimate gathering is just as legendary as those that are going on at your favorite venue.  Food and Drinks? Easy! Music? Not as much.  A pet peeve of mine is going to soirees and hearing the same mix I hear at a venue or on the radio. If your attendees are able to predict what you will be playing, then you might want to head to iTunes and cop new music, preferably throwbacks and old school. Furnished are my fave joints that will have your cozy evening bumping. There are in no particular order listed, but the songs you choose to incorporate and the order in which you mix them will make or break your night [We all know how buzzed people are when the DJ is messing up the music].

1. “Humpty Dance”: Digital Underground
2. “Hey Mr. DJ”- Zhane
3. “Poison”: BBD
4. “Feels Good” : Tony! Toni! Tone
5. “Big Pimpin” : Jay Z and UGK
