The Retro "Snowfall" Soundtrack Takes Us Back to the '80s

"Snowfall" brought its fifth season to a dramatic close on April 20. The gritty crime saga — which follows the story of drug lord and budding real-estate tycoon Franklin Saint (Damson Idris) — wasted no time getting down to business this season, but its major cliffhangers in the finale leave fans eagerly awaiting the show's sixth and final season. Between Reed Thompson's Teddy McDonald's (Carter Hudson) shocking power moves and the Saint family's organization falling apart, we already knew this season would have an epic conclusion, but more trouble still lies ahead.
If there's one thing we can count on "Snowfall" for, it's action-packed episodes and a lot of unexpected twists. But the unsung hero of the series is always its blast-from-the-past soundtrack that delivers a mix of '60s, '70s, and '80s hits. This season, we got a chance to hear classics from artists like N.W.A,, New Edition, Phil Collins, Run-D.M.C., and more. Ahead, listen to every song featured on "Snowfall" season five.
