MTV presents “$5 Cover,” a musical drama set in Memphis, Tennessee, and stars the hottest up-and-coming Memphis artists playing themselves as they fight for love, inspiration and money to pay the rent. The series explores the modern-day incarnation of the city’s historic music scene through the lens of Memphis-based filmmaker Craig Brewer, acclaimed director of “Hustle & Flow.” Fans will have full access to all the music and artists they discover through “$5 Cover” with the release of the series’ soundtrack, available exclusively in digital formats, on Tuesday, April 28.

As both a long-form rock musical and 15-part series, “$5 Cover” re-invents the music video format, combining real-life drama with the grit of Memphis. The historic musical city has been home to deep cultural exchanges as well as painful culture clashes, but the birthplace of the blues, gospel and rock ‘n’ roll has always been a town with a thriving music scene, where people from every walk of life embrace every genre of music – and “$5 Cover” offers music fans a insider’s look at the playlist that makes the city so legendary to this day.

The album, which features eight previously unreleased tracks, explores a wide range of musical genres. From the crunk stylings of Al Kapone, whose “Whoop That Trick” was featured in “Hustle & Flow,” helping put him on the national map, to the enchanting sounds of songstress Amy LaVere, listeners will be exposed to the full complement of musical offerings that make Memphis the hotbed of music talent it is today.
