When I asked a couple peeps what specific tracks they listen to when they're stressed-out, I didn't really get much of a response. I think it's due to the fact that most people bump a range of music in their library after a hard-ass day and feel content with it, while it may not even refer to stress at all. Music is simply our sense of escape from the everyday routine we get so caught up in. Through the narratives of these emcees we're able to glimpse into their lives and the everyday trial and tribulations they experience, which ultimately is no different from our own... And somehow listening to their stories helps us to cope with our own personal struggles. To deter this compilation from being too broad, I tried to select tracks that directly refer to "stress" in the rhymes, which narrows it down a bit. Also tried to mix it up with different styles too. There's a lot more I would have added.
