We all know that Counter-Strike skins and knives are ways people can express themselves in-game and customize their options. However, most players forget one of the most underrated cosmetics: Music Kits. Music Kits offer players with a fun experience, especially when it is played after getting a Round MVP. Valve has collaborated with a list of amazing artists, implementing their music into Counter-Strike. In this article, we’ll go over the fifteen best Music Kits you should consider grabbing! We have prioritized the rankings depending on the kit’s MVP anthem, as it is the most important part.
The Verkkars – EZ4ENCE
If you’re a real Counter-Strike player, there is no way you have never heard the EZ4ENCE song before. This song was created by a Finnish band for the professional esports organization, ENCE, as the team’s anthem.
The title track was played as ENCE’s walkout anthem at the Katowice Major in 2019. People in Finland kept streaming the song until it reached Finland’s national charts on Spotify. This is arguably the most catchy, yet obnoxious Music Kit in the game. Your enemies will be extremely tilted if they hear this song after losing a round.

- Steam Market Price: $3.95
Neck Deep – The Lowlife Pack
Neck Deep is a Welsh pop-punk band that was assembled in 2012. They have a few Music Kits in the game, and The Lowlife Pack is easily their best work.
This kit features a relatively depressing vibe that is played whenever the owner gets a round MVP, which can demoralize enemy players. If you want to prove you’re not a normie, grab this Music Kit which includes one of the top songs from the band’s album All Distortions Are International.

AWOLNATION – I Am
This next music kit was made by an actual artist, AWOLNATION. This kit was based on their hit title, Sail, which has over 800 million streams on Spotify and 275 million views on YouTube. However, the title track of the kit and the actual song are different.
The music kit’s MVP sound starts off with a slow buildup, until the singer eventually says the iconic “Sail” line at the very end. Overall, this music kit wants you to yell out “Sail” at the exact same time!

bbno$ – u mad!
Counter-Strike can be a mentally taxing game, so tilting your opponents has been a very effective strategy throughout the years. This music kit was made by bbno$, the same artist who made edamame with Rich Brian.
This music kit is perfect for angering your opponents, as it simply repeats the phrase, “why you mad bro?” Imagine losing a round after an enemy player clutches a 1v3, and his music kit starts playing this song.

Denzel Curry – ULTIMATE
Any person who has touched the hip hop genre one bit has heard of this song made by Denzel Curry – ULTIMATE. His verse in the title has become incredibly iconic worldwide, and it has also made its way to Counter-Strike.
Players who have this music kit equipped have essentially had the verse etched into their brains, and they will definitely rap alongside the music kit when it triggers.
- Release Date: 10 February 2023
- Steam Market Price: $2.39
Dren – Gunman Taco Truck
The next music kit is purely instrumental, and does not have any artist singing or rapping on it. In fact, the Gunman Taco Truck music kit is probably the goofiest music kit that could be played after getting a round MVP.
It features Mexican instrumentals that you would hear coming out of a taco truck, as the name of the music kit suggests. It just feels super funny and out of place in a game of Counter-Strike, adding to its humorous appeal.
- Release Date: 17 April 2020
- Steam Market Price: $18.35
The Verkkars & n0thing – Flashbang Dance
The Verkkars has become a staple name in Counter-Strike, which is why retired professional player Jordan “n0thing” Gilbert wanted in on it. During his time as a player, n0thing would often do his “Flashbang Dance” to taunt his opponents after winning a game. Though it was intended to be an act of bad manners, everyone let it slide since Gilbert was such a goofy guy.
However, the same creators of the EZ4ENCE track worked with n0thing to create the Flashbang Dance song, which has also entered the game as a music kit.
- Release Date: 10 November 2021
- Steam Market Price: $3.12
Knock2 – dashstar*
If you’re not looking to have any lyrics in your music kit, we recommend the Dashstar* track made by Knock2. Released in 2022, this music kit features the iconic bass house anthem for Knock2, which provides non-stop energy, especially after winning a round.
This song is perfect after you defuse the bomb, as you can start raving in front of the Terrorists’ camera angle since they are stuck looking at the bomb. Make sure you move your head up and down for full effect.
- Release Date: 24 August 2022
- Steam Market Price: $11.86
Blitz Kids – The Good Youth
The next music kit we’ll feature is made by the Blitz Kids, a pop/punk band from the United Kingdom. One of their best songs – The Good Youth, made its way to the game as a music kit.
It is an amazing music kit for players who are still feeling young and want to go fast. It is described as the perfect music kit for rushing B with P90s while thinking about those night drives you had with your friends in High School. Prepare for one of the sickest guitar solos you’ve ever heard!
- Release Date: 29 November 2016
- Steam Market Price: $17.52
Neck Deep – Life’s Not Out To Get You
Neck Deep makes his second entrance to the list, with his Life’s Not Out To Get You Music Kit. Sometimes, you just need some pop punk to get your spirits up and win a game of Counter-Strike.
Whether you are dealing with spawn campers or are experiencing a massive losing streak, this music kit proves that Life’s Not Out To Get You! However, the enemy team probably is, and they are looking to add on to that loss streak of yours…
