The Detroit Lions’ Thursday Night Football win wasn’t just another check in the W column—it was a testament to why GM Brad Holmes deserves to be called the best in the league. But it’s not just about wins and records; it’s the culture he’s helped build, and music plays a huge part in that.
At practice, playlists bumping NBA YoungBoy, Future, and Moneybagg Yo set the vibe, and in the locker room, music is life. One day it’s the running backs battling over Chris Brown’s *Say Goodbye*, and the next it’s the wide receivers blasting Kendrick Lamar. But the real anthem? That belongs to Detroit’s own Gmac Cash with *Lions Won Again*.
Gmac Cash, aka Gerald Allen, first dropped *Lions Won a Game* back in 2021 when the Lions snapped an 0-10-1 start under head coach Dan Campbell. Two weeks later, after their second win, he followed up with *Lions Won Again*—a track that became a sensation.
“I just wanted to bring some momentum,” Gmac shared. “Even with one win, I wanted to uplift the team, and then the second win came, and I thought, ‘This is it.’”
Now, as the Lions sit at 12-1, riding an 11-game win streak, Gmac’s music is a locker room staple. Wide receiver Jameson Williams, who has a personal connection with the rapper, says the team plays the song on repeat. “He’s embracing the city, the team, and the excitement is mutual,” Williams said.
Gmac’s latest track, *We Run the North*, celebrates the Lions’ NFC North dominance and their shot at the Super Bowl. Running back David Montgomery added that Gmac’s music keeps the team hyped, saying, “It’s super dope. It just makes us want to keep winning so we can get new songs every week.”
For Gmac, this success has been a long time coming. He remembers when Ford Field was so empty you could sit anywhere. Now, the buzz around the Lions is electrifying. “You can’t move in there now. It’s packed, and it’s beautiful,” he said.
With the Lions eyeing their first-ever Lombardi Trophy, Gmac Cash is confident: “This is our year. Last year, we needed that taste of defeat. This year, no one’s stopping us.”
Holmes, Campbell, and the Lions have built more than a team—they’ve built a movement. And with every win, Gmac Cash is dropping the soundtrack to this incredible season.
