The Boys season 4 masterfully complements some of its best moments with appealing tunes, making it difficult not to be intrigued about the tracks’ identities and the artists who created them.

The Boys, created by Eric Kripke, is one of Amazon Prime Video’s most valuable IPs, having not only received great critical praise with each season but also been commercially viable for the streaming service. The Boys season 4, like its predecessors, has a “Fresh” Rotten Tomatoes rating, cementing its position as one of the best satirical depictions of the superhero genre.

The first episodes of The Boys season 4 contain some of the most frightening and 𝓈ℯ𝓍ually explicit sequences in the franchise. Even from a narrative standpoint, the series s𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁fully elevates the stakes for its protagonists by immersing them in the murky seas of superpower politics and action. The use of perfectly placed unique and familiar musical compositions adds to the immersive and gripping quality of its darkly comedic superhero tale.

“Hypnotize” by The Notorious B.I.G.: In The Boys season 4 episode 2’s opening moments, Adam Bourke films a movie that stars A-Train and seems hilariously similar to the 2009 sports drama The Blind Side.
