Flau’jae Johnson: The Warm-Up

“Music is a huge part of how I prepare for games because it helps me lock in mentally before I even step on the court,” Flau’jae Johnson tells Apple Music. “Certain songs bring out different emotions in me: confidence, hunger, focus, even peace.” The Seattle Storm guard made this exclusive playlist for our series The Warm-Up featuring artists like Future, Kendrick Lamar, Adele, Beyoncé—and even her own tracks. (When she’s not playing hoops, Johnson moonlights as a rapper.) “My playlist is a mix of artists I grew up listening to and songs that reflect different parts of my own journey right now, both as an artist and as an athlete.”
