Studies have shown that studying while listening to music is beneficial to assist students engagement in an activity and relieve stress.

However each person has a different taste and a different ways of studying, for some, rote memorization is most practical, while for others it may be easier for them to learn through examples and questions.

Not all music genres work for this practice of music and studying.

For example, listening to Metallica or heavy metal music while studying will probably not relieve your stress or engagement in your studies.

Music that may work for improving your concentration while studying or reading are: Bob Marley, classical music, or music genre that carry a slower beat and "lighter" sound.  It will help to relieve stress, so you can concentrate more on what you are studying. 

Good luck!
