Responding to the news that Nonesuch will soon release the first-ever soundtrack from HBO's The Wire, Paste magazine points to the album's inclusion of local Baltimore artists as a prime example of the show's making authenticity paramount. The magazine quotes from a September New York Times article examining the show's impact on Baltimore's music scene:
