What the heck I gotta do, for you to listen to this episode? This is my first True Tunes episode where I talk about a musical based on a true story and go into the background of what actually happened.

21 Chump Street is a one act musical with a run time of under 15 minutes. It is based on Justin Laboy and his experience as a student when there was an undercover police operation going on at his school. Written by Lin Manuel Miranda, you know this is gonna have bops! It only has 5 songs, go and give them all a listen and you can even watch the full performance in the below links.
