The Songs From 'The Letter' Are Pretty Damn Good!
I'm not gonna lie: this game has broken my heart, disturbed my sleep and emotionally wrecked me. At the same time, it made me fall in love with their characters and make me feel like part of the Luxbourne gang. I've started playing the game last month, and since then, I've already written several pieces of fanfiction and a few articles about the game already. I briefly mentioned in a review that I loved the music in the game.

Readers' Review: Half-A-Mil's 'Courtesy of Half-A-Mil'
If you’ve been paying attention to the West Coast in the past decade, you’d be hip to the thriving beat scene, and if you aren’t, you can’t deny the steady flow of genre-bending, trunk-rattling, hip-hop coming from the West Coast.

Of course, an iron fist dressed in a Gucci oven mitt, because Dom makes what I affectionately call “Barbecue Music.” You know what barbecue music is, that smooth vibe that also keeps the party going at peak pace. If you aren’t catching my drift right now, I’m not sure I want to be at your next cookout.
