Ben Watkins’ TV adaptation of James Patterson’s iconic book series, “Cross,” is ready to leave you on the edge of your seats. But it also might get you on your feet with its jammin’ playlist.
Watkins crafted this new vision of “Cross,” which takes place in the nation’s capital of Washington, D.C., where criminals lurk during the day and the night. But no crime is too big of a challenge for Cross.
Hits from music legends like Chaka Khan and southern Hip Hop classics like Rick Ross’ “Hustlin’ play throughout all the action. So we decided to list all the songs you’ve heard, or can expect to hear, as you tune in.
