Moments Worth Listening For

The cinematic transition from the opening interlude into the heavy, anthemic brass of Warrior's Anthem.

The sharp lyrical interplay in Toussaint vs. Bishop where the concept's historical and modern parallels collide.

The unexpected but effective blend of Cyndi Lauper's vocals against a gritty street beat on Slumdog Millionaire.
