High-flying rapper Kendrick Lamar is making his first soundtrack as he released a song on Jan 4 with singer SZA for the upcoming superhero film Black Panther. Lamar, whose socially conscious and often experimental hip-hop has won him wide critical praise, will produce the soundtrack for the movie which comes out on Feb 16.
He and hip-hop executive Anthony “Top Dawg” Tiffith will record and select tracks for Black Panther, a film adaptation of Marvel Comics' breakthrough black superhero story about a king of a fictional African nation.“The magnitude of this film showcases a great marriage of art and culture,” Lamar said in a statement.
