The East Coast Music Awards can be overwhelming. There’s no question about getting your daily cardio in, even if you are going to offset it with a mountain carbs. You are going to want to do things you don’t have time for. You are going to miss out on things you don’t know about. Your legs are going to hate you. So make the best of it and do some planning.
To help, we’re going to make it just a little bit easier by providing a handy-dandy playlist so you can make those crucial listening decisions.
