Invincible feat. Lindsey StirlingEscape the Fate
Escape the Fate is a rock band formed in Nevada.
Known for their music rooted in post-hardcore and metalcore, they have remained active from the 2000s to the present.
Among their works, a track I recommend for its cool intro is Invincible feat.

Featuring violinist Lindsey Stirling, the song stands out for the way it transitions from an intense rock sound in the intro to a calm first verse.

Lil Durk is a rapper who commands overwhelming props in today’s hip-hop scene—any true head will know him.
He’s created numerous classics, but among them, the track with an especially cool intro is “Broadway Girls feat.
Morgan Wallen.” Featuring country singer Morgan Wallen, the song’s production is an emotional yet stylish take on trap.
The intro, which begins with Lil Durk’s Auto-Tuned lines, draws you right into the track’s luxurious atmosphere.
Fight For Your RightBeastie Boys
Beastie Boys are an American hip-hop group formed in 1978.
Because the genre of hip-hop wasn’t yet defined as it is today, their sound had a very strong rock influence, but their catchy musical style earned them popularity in the 1980s.
Among their works, the one with an especially cool intro is “Fight For Your Right.” Released in 1986, its intro is highly memorable, blending a sense of coolness with a comedic vibe.
In Da Club50 Cent
50 Cent is a rapper who represents the United States.
One of his signature tracks, and also known for earning a Grammy nomination, is “In Da Club.” It’s a powerful song about partying at a club.
In contrast to its theme, the intro features a slow sound that feels flexible and playable.
Combined with the relatively long intro, it helps set up and highlight the rap parts that follow.
There are also various remix versions available, so it’s fun to compare and listen to them.
