Apologies if this doesn't belong in this community. I'm looking for something reminiscent of 40's detective dramas. You know, the black and white feature films with the gritty detective crawling through the grimy undercity chasing down a serial killer sort of vibe, or maybe the grizzled taxi driver smoking a cigarette waiting out the rain in a New York alleyway kind of vibe. Perhaps a steel worker walking the lonely way home from a long day at the factory type of vibe. Any time I look on Youtube I get tons of hits, most of which I'm certain are AI, and I'm just looking for something real in a sense. Closest I found was a playlist called doomer jazz.

Edit: Hey thanks to everyone for responding! Def gonna check these out the next time it's raining at night

Hey, thanks for the suggestions!

9th and Hennepin- well that was certainly a song. spoken word with jazz behind it? not terrible, i was passively listening to it though so i didn't pick up all the lyrics. it was... good i guess? I'm not entirely sure how to feel about it to be quite honest. The poetry (or what I picked up from it) fits the theme though, which leaves me starting to question if I even knew what I was looking for when I made this post.

Black Coffee album- fallout vibes like crazy, good album for that but idk if it quite scratches the itch i was looking for. Like, it sort of does but doesn't at the same time, if that makes any sense? Either way I'm definitely keeping this one in my back pocket for when I (inevitably) crave pretending I'm in the fallout universe again.
