A Hip Hop Halloween Party Playlist

Yesterday I shared the

party plan and menu

After only being able to find Halloween songs that were intended for kids (or just way too goofy), I enlisted my friend Laura to come up with a ghoulish playlist. Thus, the Hip Hop Halloween playlist came to be.

Laura has a wealth of music knowledge and a knack for making playlists, so I asked her the impossible: I requested a Hip Hop Halloween playlist. You see, a couple years ago Laura had made an incredible Hip Hop Holiday playlist, so I thought I’d bank on lightning striking twice. I said as long as there was some mentions of ghosts, the paranormal, or any monsters that it was fair game.

She came up with a great hour and 40 minute playlist that’s super danceable and fun. Not so upbeat that you’d feel awkward sitting and chatting; but the music still has a great, spooky energy. I hope you enjoy it!

If Laura hadn’t helped, I probably would have made people listen to something like this. What are your favorite Halloween party songs? It doesn’t have to be hip hop; anything goes!
