Bel-Air arrived on the scene with the kind of needle drops that viewers would expect from a young teen from Philly who reps his city with pride and loves the culture he’s coming of age in. As such, Will is a hip-hop head whose TV show is filled with earworms that’ll leave you bobbing your head and rapping along if you know the lyrics to the song.
Music has always been an important part of television. For some shows, the soundtrack is not only a part of setting its mood but also an essential piece of the story. Bel-Air‘s use of music, in some cases, is meant to inform, to contextualize a scene, a character, or a general vibe.
In episode 4, “Canvass,” music is both heard and seen. Like previous episodes, it weaves throughout the story but our introduction to Jazz’s record shop also provides an opportunity to display a diversity of sound. Music is an important piece of any culture, but hip-hop is also a genre that blends sounds from other musical stylings to create a new experience.
The scene between Jazz, Will, and the artist Buddy pays tribute to this art form when the rapper drops by the shop looking for a specific sound. His description would be lost on anyone who doesn’t both hear and feel the emotions that music can produce in a person, but Jazz knows exactly what Buddy needs to produce the sound he wants.
The exchange is a brief cameo, but it’s one full of warmth and a bit of culture in a way that speaks to the day-to-day lives of people who are truly attuned to music.
Here’s the tracklist for “Canvass,” an episode that blends politics, music, art, and community to show the importance of being there for your family and your people.
