‘Top Boy’ has always been a hotbed of London music. Headie One, Ghetts and J Hus run Summerhouse as much as Dushane and Sully do. But for its thrilling final season, another British legend took the helm – Brian Eno. This soundtrack spans delicate ambience to pulsating beats, providing atmosphere to some of the season’s most crucial moments. Even without the context of the show, this is still a varied and emotional collection of melodies.
