Here are 7 playlists of songs I’d put in my own movie. You’re welcome to combine all the songs, pick and choose or even comment your own favorite song or playlist.
I think a form of self love is listening to whatever makes your head bop, no matter the language or style. I know I love me some BTS and Sik-K, so enjoy what you will. It’s always a good reminder to respect the people who made it aka, give credit where it’s due. And with that, I want to finally add, be respectful and antiracist. If you love hiphop, kpop, reggaeton, rock and roll ..etc, I hope you can acknowledge the reasons we have them, because of people of color.
