Features

  • The songs that appear in The Wire, unlike the music on most TV series, rarely comment on the action; instead, they are employed almost exclusively as source cues, coming out of car radios, boom boxes, and bars. For the fourth season, music supervisor Blake Leyh took this naturalistic approach one step further, engaging several Baltimore rappers, deejays, and producers to create original work for the series. These artists weren't hard to find: a mix-tape called Hamsterdam, named after a drug marketplace from the third season, had become a local hit, and Leyh drew from its lineup. The Wire Beyond Hamsterdam soundtrack is as rigorously conceived as the series itself, and makes for truly compelling listening. It's essential for fans of the series as well as for anyone interested in hip hop that authentically comes from the streets.
