It is hereby ordered that the judgment so appealed from is unanimously affirmed.
Memorandum: On appeal from a judgment convicting him upon a jury verdict of, inter alia, murder in the second degree (Penal Law § 125.25 [1]), defendant contends that County Court erred in admitting in evidence a recording of a rap song along with a copy of its lyrics. We reject defendant’s contention, and we conclude that the rap song was admissible as evidence of defendant’s consciousness of guilt. Although “evidence of consciousness of guilt . . . has limited probative value . . . , its probative weight is highly dependent upon the facts of each particular case” (People v Cintron, 95 NY2d 329, 332-333 [2000]). Here, the evidence presented at trial established that defendant played a cassette tape of his favorite rap song, entitled “How I Could Just Kill a Man,” two or three times over the course of two five-minute car rides shortly after the homicide. The lyrics of the song describe a murder occurring under similar circumstances as those present in the instant case. We agree with defendant insofar as he contends that owning a cassette tape of rap music in general, or of any rap song in particular, is not relevant to the murder charge (see generally United States v McCrea, 583 F2d 1083, 1086 [1978]). The rap song here, however, was not admitted in evidence merely for the purpose of establishing that defendant generally enjoyed rap music. Instead, the People sought to shed light on the circumstances under which defendant listened to the song, and thus the rap song was properly admitted as evidence of defendant’s consciousness of guilt (see generally Cintron, 95 NY2d at 332). Moreover, although the lyrics to rap music can at times be violent and inflammatory and thus may be prejudicial to defendants, the court here alleviated any such prejudice by giving an adequate limiting instruction, which the jury is presumed to have followed (see generally People v Curtis, 286 AD2d 900, 901 [2001], lv denied 97 NY2d 728 [2002]).
Defendant did not make a specific objection to the prosecutor’s cross-examination of him concerning his drug sale activities, and he made no objection with respect to the cross-examination of him concerning his acting experience. Defendant thus failed
