Last night, the seventh episode of this season of How To Make It In America was aired. It was a good one which once again featured an awesome soundtrack for our enjoyment. This season has been great and this is the best show on television in my opinion. Things are changing in everyone’s lives within the show, making it even more interesting to see what the outcome of everything will be. Plus Pusha T finally appeared in the show which we all have been wanting to know when that would be. Below are my favorite tracks from this past episode. Enjoy!

We think How To Make It In America epitomizes the entreprenurial spirit in all of us. Up-and-coming musicians are part of that and since our website is about becoming the #1 source for providing music’s future now, we believe this show is a perfect example of the experience it takes to make it, specifically in industries where there really isn’t a blueprint to success.What I really love about How To Make It In America is not only is the story about people who are trying to make it in their respective industry (fashion for the two main characters), the music is also from artists trying to make it in the entertainment industry.

Since Music Supervisor Scott Vener gets the dopest music you may have never heard on How To Make It In America (he also did the music for Entourage and 90210), we are going to do a brief series providing you with our favorite songs from each episode of the HBO show. I promise after this blog post, the build-up to the music will be way more brief.

Take a listen to 8 of our favorite tracks from the first episode of the second season which aired last Sunday. All these tracks are amazing and worth checking out. Enjoy!

Flight Facilities – “Crave You” (featuring Giselle) (Original Mix) [Download]

Reptar – “Houseboat Babies” [Download]

Martin Solveig – “Big In Japan” (featuring Dragonette) [Download]

Spank Rock – “Bump” [Download]

Breakbot – “Baby I’m Yours” (featuring Irfane) [Download]
