Royalty-Free Music for crime mysteries and crime thillers; in particular, the tracks we've put in this area represent the music that we felt would go well with Gangsters, Drug dealers, Tough guys and general Bad-Asses. The music will tend to have a slow, mean beat, sometimes Hip-Hop or Urban based music but also sometimes more Orchestral / Classic style music that can be used to illustrate the Bad Guy in your production. This music will tend to have a cold, ruthless edge to it.
