Three Seventy

This track was born from a real headline: Gas prices rising from $2.93 to $3.70 per gallon in one month due to Iran war, affecting everyday Americans. Muckraker's country production gives the story the weight of a front-page exclusive — journalism you can feel in your chest. Lines like "That's a war tax on the highway, that's a raise I'll never see" anchor the track in specifics that generic coverage misses. The mood — frustrated, conversational, relatable — reflects the emotional reality behind the numbers. Every Majik's Studio news track exists to make you feel the story, not just read it.
