It’s no secret that Minnesota has been in the news lately due to the presence of federal agents across the state, and the disruption that has followed. Artists from all walks of life have been speaking out in solidarity - some musicians have even written songs in protest of current events.

Bruce Springsteen recently surprise-dropped a new song called “Streets of Minneapolis,” Billy Bragg penned the track “City of Heroes,” and local artists have also been channeling grief and frustration through music. Today, let’s stand strong with our neighbors by creating a playlist for Minneapolis.
