A 91bpm F minor groove with horns, strings, electric guitar and vocal samples over a forward-leaning boom-bap beat — one of the more feel-good, motion-driven cues on the album. Steady energy across two and a quarter minutes with a clean finish.

Bright, major-key boombap at 92bpm in F, with electric keys, rolling bass and relaxed drums plus incidental vocal colour. The most openly positive track on the set, easygoing and unhurried across a compact two and a half minutes.

The most classically old-school entry: 94bpm in Dm, the slowest and shortest cue here, with brass and horns, strings, female vocals, shouts, crowd and scratching over a head-nod beat. Its relaxed tempo gives edits more room to breathe while keeping the album's hyped attitude.

Funky 92bpm cue in F minor where Rhodes and Hammond electric keys sit against electric guitar, trumpet lines and a laid-back hip hop drum groove. Slyly cool rather than aggressive despite the title, and at 2:52 it gives room for a caper-style scene or a slow-motion entrance.

A 96bpm East Coast hip hop groove in C, built on a boom-bap beat and round bass with warm strings, bell figures and a jazzy saxophone line on top. Bright and unhurried, it suits breezy lifestyle footage where the sax carries the personality rather than the picture.

The longest cue here at nearly four minutes, a 105bpm A minor groove led by electric bass, organ stabs and guitar with old-school record scratches and vocal sample punctuation. It has more dramatic weight than the comedy cues but keeps a funky strut, and the length allows for edits over long-form footage.

The shortest cue here at 1:11, a compact and effortlessly cool hip-hop beat with no wasted intro. Cut it in as a stinger, a logo tag or a quick transition where a full-length groove would overstay.

A short, wry 99bpm boom-bap cue built on pizzicato strings over a swung beat with chopped vocal samples, sitting bright in B flat. The tone is smirking and light rather than tough, and at under two minutes it works as a self-contained comic sting.

At 91bpm in F minor this is the plushest cut on the album, pairing swung drums and bass with strings and woodwind lines for a expensive, slightly melancholy jazz feel. Good for high-end lifestyle content that wants attitude without brightness.

Jazzy 90bpm boom bap in B minor where a smoky sax line and clean guitar trade over crate-dug drums, walking bass and vinyl scratches. At nearly three minutes it's the loose, late-night city cue of the set — more atmosphere and attitude than hook.

Cool, sexy, slightly tongue-in-cheek R&B groove — the title points at bling-and-swagger territory, with a strutting mid-tempo pocket. Two minutes of attitude with no big emotional arc, so it loops comfortably under dialogue or a walk-in.

Short, punchy hip-hop instrumental at 1:41 — the briefest cut on the album, essentially a beat sketch with drums and a repeating hook figure. The nineties-throwback title points to a retro boom-bap attitude. Best used as a stinger, social bumper or quick fashion cutaway where a full-length bed would be wasted.
