I've made a playlist that goes along with the whole story! I'll list the songs here, but it's also a spotify playlist. A link to the playlist is on the side. Just so you know, many of the songs are actually very explicit hehehe, but if you can get past that, the songs create a lot of atmosphere for the story as a whole. I recommend listening to the songs together. Many of them actually inspired and shaped this story.
Song list:
Change by J. Cole
If I Believe You by The 1975
The Fall of Home by Los Campesinos!
New York Soul Pt. ii by Jon Bellion
Empire State of Mind by Jay Z
High For Hours by J. Cole
Liability by Lorde
R.I.P. To My Youth by The Neighborhood
Angels by Chance the Rapper
Yesterday by the Beatles
Loving Someone by The 1975
The Harrowing Adventures of... by Tokyo Police Club
How Great by Chance the Rapper
Love Yourz by J. Cole
I think you get a sense of my favorite artists by this list lol (especially with the repetition). That's alright though. But anyways, enjoy the story and don't forget to vote and comment if you enjoy.
