Cut the Nets

This track was born from a real headline: The tradition of cutting down the nets after winning a championship and the road to the 2026 Final Four in San Antonio. Muckraker's rock production gives the story the weight of a front-page exclusive — journalism you can feel in your chest. Lines like "First round, second round, Sweet Sixteen alive" anchor the track in specifics that generic coverage misses. The mood — triumphant, powerful, climactic — reflects the emotional reality behind the numbers. Every Majik's Studio news track exists to make you feel the story, not just read it.
