True Story starring Kevin Hart and Wesley Snipes is one of Netflix’s newest TV series, with a soundtrack packed with familiar artists including 2Pac and Marvin Gaye. Kevin Hart portrays a fictionalized version of himself—a stand-up comedian named Kid—who finds himself in a seemingly uncontrollable downward spiral alongside his brother Carlton, played by Blade’s Westley Snipes. The show is a classic example of the main characters constantly working to clean up their mess only to have it get much, much worse in the process.

Kevin Hart is primarily known for his comedic roles. This new seven-episode drama reached the number one spot on Netflix following its release, and goes a long way in proving that Hart is more than a comedian. Like his character, Kevin Hart began his career as a stand-up comedian born and raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Today, Kevin is still well-known for his stand-up career, but it is nearly impossible not to associate him with his many acting roles.

In True Story, Hart and Snipes’ characters have a complicated history with one another. Carlton throws a wrench in his brother’s sobriety, and Kid wakes up the next morning lying next to a dead woman. Carlton promptly hires a “fixer” to help solve their problem, but naturally, things do not go as planned. While the show itself focuses on an American celebrity in the process of having his entire life destroyed, audiences can’t help but sing along to True Story’s soundtrack. Below is a list of every song in season 1 of the Netflix drama True Story and where they can be found throughout the show.
