The Miami Marlins. Are they . . . The Best?
Well, DJ Khaled certainly thinks so.
Here’s the scoop:
Miami sports fans have another reason to be excited for the Marlins’ upcoming Opening Day (Mar 29). A new team anthem, “Just Gettin’ Started,” will be performed and released at during their season opener.
Produced by Jason “Poo Bear†Boyd, “Jingle†Jared Gutstadt, and Sasha Sirotkin, the majestic record features appearances from star performers DJ Khaled, Nicky Jam and Kent Jones.
Optimistic about a recent change in management and rebranding, retired veteran baseball player and current Marlins ceo Derek Jeter, along with Jared Gutstadt (cco and president of music publishing and licensing company Jingle Punks) and Jason Latimer (vp of communications and outreach for the Marlins), spoke to Billboard over the phone at length about how the song came together and what it will mean to fans.
“Initially, I was brainstorming with Jaymee Messler — who’s with the Players Tribune — and we were thinking about doing something different here in Miami, and really doing something that was reflective of the Miami culture,” Jeter explains “We had an opportunity to meet with Jared and Jingle Punks and Poo, and we just started brainstorming. I let them know as an ownership group, we’re just getting started here in Miami, and we wanted to do something special for the fan base. Fortunately for us, they were able to come up with a great anthem.â€
You be the judge. What do you think? Is this jam a “hit”?
